๐จ #ExpressInvestigation | The Union Minister of State for Agriculture Bhagirath Choudhary received a โน99.03 lakh subsidy for a commercial cucumber farming project under a scheme run by the ministry he serves in.
While the final approval was granted by an NHB project approval committee that does not include the minister, Choudhary is the ex-officio Vice-President of the NHB board that oversees its functioning.
The project, worth โน1.99 crore, was among 467 approved under the scheme in 2025.

LAYOFF ALERT: TICKETMASTER ๐จ
8% of workforce.
The reason from Global President Saumil Mehta: "AI as a new utility."
Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation have been on our watch list all year. Much deeper cuts expected.
New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel.
Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade.
Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes.
Itโs also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.
Apple's Xcode now has direct integration with the Claude Agent SDK, giving developers the full functionality of Claude Code for building on Apple platforms, from iPhone to Mac to Apple Vision Pro.

Our TPUs are headed to space!ย
Inspired by our history of moonshots, from quantum computing to autonomous driving, Project Suncatcher is exploring how we could one day build scalable ML compute systems in space, harnessing more of the sunโs power (which emits more power than 100 trillion times humanityโs total electricity production).
Like any moonshot, itโs going to require us to solve a lot of complex engineering challenges. Early research shows our Trillium-generation TPUs (our tensor processing units, purpose-built for AI) survived without damage when tested in a particle accelerator to simulate low-earth orbit levels of radiation. However, significant challenges still remain like thermal management and on-orbit system reliability.ย
More testing and breakthroughs will be needed as we count down to launch two prototype satellites with @planet by early 2027, our next milestone of many. Excited for us to be a part of all the innovation happening in (this) space!

A victory lap full of joy and emotions by #TeamIndia at the DY Patil Stadium ๐ฅณ๐

Man, it's difficult to explain the statistical significance of tonight's win to someone who doesn't follow Women's cricket.
This Aus team is the mightiest ever in any sport, of any gender. India are the only ones who've pushed them at times, and heck they've only 4 times in the past decade.
It's taken for granted that Australia will win, bas. Tonight is a gigantic anamoly, and perhaps the start of a new era.
Real class. A modern titan. Any team in the world would have him.
The numbers alone place him among the game's immortals: more than 10,000 runs each in Tests and ODIs, 45 Test hundreds, 17 ODI hundreds, and nearly 600 international wickets across formats.
Happy birthday to Jacques Kallis, one of the greatest cricketers of all time ๐
