For a change it was refreshing to overhear people talk about medieval history instead of crypto/ai stuff in a SF cafe

this is how I imagine couples in SF break up with each other

Points and Miles Twitter in India is a bubble where everyone just drops international destinations.

This is that time of the year where Bangalore is at its most beautiful. Plan a trip here if you are undecided on where to go in the next couple of weeks. I can give the best local dose recommendations, and you can savor the views :)

just read this in an investor update

"older engineers who graduated from college pre-GPT are actually the best-suited for our purposes. They have fundamental programming ability that's lost amongst most of the current-gen."

the AI-induced thinking/skills decay has begun

In the early 2000s, clubbing in India had started to get mainstream. Standalone clubs, bars and lounges were popping in metros like Bangalore and Mumbai.

Naturally, Bollywood picked on this trend. All movies of the 2000s now had at least 1 'club song' in them.

Think, "Koi kahe kehta rahe" from Dil Chahta Hai, or "Hone do dil ko fanna" from Yuvva.

Back in the @calm_io days (perhaps a decade ago) we were interviewing a candidate. They were at 6 LPA comp.

They passed all the technical rounds with flying colours and the final part was salary negotiation.

We had a policy of never asking for current salary or expectations, but they volunteered they were at 6 and would be expecting 9.

We said, look this role has a band and your expectation is not within it. Their face fell. We elaborated further that we won’t pay a rupee less than 11L, and if that’s acceptable to them we can continue😌

Mr Trump’s post is disappointing for India in four important ways: First, it implies a false equivalence between the victim and the perpetrator, and seemingly overlooks the US’ own past unwavering stance against Pakistan’s well-documented links to cross-border terrorism. Second, it offers Pakistan a negotiating framework which it certainly has not earned. India will never negotiate with a terrorist gun pointed at its head. Third, it “internationalises” the Kashmir dispute, an obvious objective of the terrorists. India rejects the idea of a dispute and sees the problem as an internal affair of India’s. India has never requested, not is likely to seek, any foreign country’s mediation over its problems with Pakistan. And fourth, it “re-hyphenates” India and Pakistan in the global imagination. For decades now, world leaders had been encouraged not to club their visits to India with visits to Pakistan, and starting with President Clinton in 2000, no US President had done so. This is a major backward step.

This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up.

Mad respect for @ShashiTharoor who has become the unofficial spokesperson to puncture false and biased narratives in the western media. Given he is from an opposition party, makes it even more impactful. No one else could have done it better - take a bow, Sir!

... I’m predicting a software engineering gold rush where more and more human engineers will have to be hired to clean up the train wrecks left behind by the next few years of vibe programming ...

... the current LLM lemming rush over a cliff ...

I used to think that academics were the ones that are inventing the future, but I guess they want to keep things as is.

[signüll @signulll]

i’ve been running deepseek locally (i have a highest end mac studio) for few days, & it’s absolutely on par with o1 or sonnet.

i’ve been using it nonstop for coding and other tasks, & what would’ve cost me a fortune through api’s is now completely free.

this feels like a total paradigm shift.
