@GergelyOrosz Combining all your process documents into Notebook LLM creates a super versatile, no-code knowledge base interface for internal teams. And if you’re using Google Docs, which are updated regularly, that’s even better!

@shrinivassg <3/n>: Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. Not a self help book. Unique take on the low attention epidemic which calls for structural reform across social media, work, nutrition, education, etc. Don't quite agree with the recommendations but it got me to uninstall Twitter and Reddit :)

2024 Book Thread <1/n>: Outlive by Peter Attia. MUST READ for all those looking to improve their fitness. Enlightening and scary in equal measures this has been one of the most transformative books I’ve ever read. You won’t regret reading this.

[Ashutosh Kale @WheresAshutosh]

<2/n>: The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi. Wonderful read on a new outlook to life which is both simple and profound. The fable-like structure makes it an easy read but the underlying psychology of Adler requires rumination. Shout-out to @shrinivassg for the reco!

@anujrathi I came across this experiment in Sep last year. They seem to have changed the UX from your screenshot so quite likely a long running experiment. Couldn’t come up with my meaningful hypothesis.

YouTube is experimenting with a colour based video feed?! Videos seem to be selected on the basis of dominant colour in the thumbnail. Checked the calendar and it’s not 1st Apr. One of wackiest experiments I’ve seen in a long time. Wonder what is the hypothesis here.

Had a lovely time playing ‘Heat’. Highly recommended for racing enthusiasts. Perfect beginner game for those looking to enter the hobby.

@paraschopra When: Travelling to and back from work
What can be improved:
1. Audio is just a medium. I should have the freedom to seamlessly switch between reading and hearing.
2. No way to do quick highlights. Taking and organising notes is tedious.
3. Doesn’t scale for images and graphs.

PSA to Bengaluru folks: Don’t miss out on Cubbon this time of the year. You won’t regret putting in a morning trip.

New Year, New Beginnings 🚀

Super excited to announce my new journey as I join the Product team at @Intuit!

Thrilled to contribute to innovative solutions and drive impact in the financial space. Looking forward to lots of learning and tackling new challenges ahead! 🎉

<4/n> ‘The Obstacle is the way’ by Ryan Holiday. Picked this up as an introduction to Stoicism but found it to be too preachy. On the look out for something which is practical and relatable. 2023 was a lean year. Aiming to read more books in 2024. Fingers crossed 🤞

[Ashutosh Kale @WheresAshutosh]

Kick starting my 2023 book thread (Better late than never😛): <1/n> ‘Leadership and Self-Deception’ by the Arbringer institute. Its core thesis is easy to understand and it has a unique narrative structure - almost reads like a fable. Good weekend read. Recommended for everyone.

[Ashutosh Kale @WheresAshutosh]

<3/n> 'Spelunky' by Derek Yu. Gaming is my favourite intersection of entertainment and art. Games are great artifacts to appreciate one of the most important product building skills - user empathy. This is a glimpse into that world authored by the creator of an indie hit.

[Ashutosh Kale @WheresAshutosh]

Thank you, Microsoft. This has been my last month at #microsoft. Grateful for playing a small part in building and scaling #microsoftteams to 300M+ users over the last 4 years. Here's to new beginnings, continued friendships, and a future filled with endless possibilities!

@SandeepMall Many of us will be over 50 someday. Celebrate the elderly embracing new trends and technologies. Support or ignore but don’t mock :)

Starting my journey to learn Python. Something which has always been on my bucket list but never got around to it. Trigger was PaulG's tweet about steep drop-off in this course. Let's see how this goes :)

How many people make it through each day of Replit's online 100 Days of Code tutorial.

The perfect highlight reel of Maxwell's stupendous innings yesterday.

[Santhosh Kumar Raju @bruhthosh]

Maxwell did take us to cricketing heaven tbh.

Next-gen AI tools continue to amaze! Just played with Heygen's AI-powered translation—pure magic! This tech is a game-changer for dubbing 📽️. Check out the video and become a believer! PS: Amazing lip-sync, but translation needs work. They nailed the harder part first!

@elonmusk The x video player should enable the creator to add these time stamps in the original video. This shouldn’t be separate. The current player experience is not designed for long form video consumption. Needs to evolve.

@kv Great! Do share the link as well :)
