DELAY IN RESPONSE

@Delhicustoms @AirportGenCus @_IGIA @PMOIndia @gupta_rekha @USAndIndia @cbic_india @cpgrams I arrived in India from the US at 12:30 PM, only to face over 9 hours of harassment and an extremely distressing experience at the hands of Customs officials.

I was stopped for verification, and after checking, a senior female officer initially allowed me to leave. However, another officer stopped me again and began questioning me about my personal belongings a gold chain that I have owned for over 10 years and two personal mobile phones, including an iPhone Fold.

The officers insisted that I pay approximately ₹6 lakh in customs duty on my gold chain and ₹65,000 on my phone, despite my explaining that the jewellery was old and the phones were for personal and business use which have sims inside working .

I repeatedly requested them to consider my explanation. And check my bills even asked them to re-export my gold and agreed to pay the applicable duty on my phone, but my request was initially refused.

What followed was hours of humiliation, intimidation and disrespect. Even a senior officer allegedly reacted aggressively because of language(English) when I tried to explain my situation in English. I was not the only one who was going through this, there were 6 people before me and multiple people after me stopped and harassed for nothing,

After nearly nine hours, ACO Neeraj Gupta intervened and instructed the officials to follow the proper system and allow the re-export of my gold. Yet, even after his intervention, I was made to wait further without any clear reason.

I landed at 12:30 PM, and it was already 9:30 PM. My family had been waiting outside the airport for hours.

As an Indian returning home from abroad, I never expected to be treated this way in my own country.

Customs procedures and applicable duties must be followed, but that does not give officials the right to intimidate, humiliate or harass passengers.

I request the Delhi Customs to investigate this incident, examine the conduct of the officials involved and ensure accountability.

No passenger should have to go through this kind of experience at an international airport in India. The officer on duty was mukesh kumar singh ( superintendent customs) . Also asked me in beginning to give 20k cash for him and than he can allow me to pay 20k for legal tax. But wanted more for gold chain just to reexport it. THIS IS HELL OF CORRUPTION BY CUSTOMS AND ITS OFFICERS OPENLY and WIDELY AT IGI AIRPORT DELHI. Its brings a a-lot of shame towards our nation and its dignity that how the main entering place in india starts with corruption, lack of representation, lack of responsible custom officers. And than please tell me how can our GREAT COUNTRY INDIA 🇮🇳 can progress with all this customs officials who don’t even know the laws and oder

I have a major result to share.

I’ve found conclusive forensic evidence that the top 4 Chinese AI labs—DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Ant Group—have built their newest models on NVIDIA’s most advanced Blackwell chips, which are barred from export to China.

This sounds insane, but I discovered that almost every AI model carries a hidden signature of the GPU that trained it. When a model is first set up, the starting values of its weights are laid out in a pattern that depends on the exact GPU. Each combination of GPU and seed number produces a unique pattern—a sort of fingerprint of the hardware used to create the model. Traces of that pattern survive training into the published model.

Again, this evidence isn’t based on any insider information or leaking. It’s based on a forensic analysis of the model weights released by the companies themselves.

I searched more than six trillion combinations of chip layout and seed number and matched them to open-weights models. In doing so, I found conclusive evidence that six Chinese AI models—including DeepSeek-V4-Pro, Kimi K3, and MiniMax-M3—were initialized on NVIDIA Blackwell systems. Four of the models match Grace Blackwell, the GB200 and GB300 parts in NVIDIA’s flagship liquid-cooled rack-scale systems.

I then verified these results on real hardware. Running unmodified PyTorch with the seeds I’d recovered, a Blackwell B300 reproduced DeepSeek-V4-Flash’s untouched starting weights bit for bit, and a rented GB200 reproduced Kimi K3’s to a correlation of 0.999995. A Hopper H100 reproduced none of DeepSeek-V4-Flash’s, and changing the seed by one broke the match. (DeepSeek’s seed is 953049583 by the way.) The method also was verified to match 24 known open-weights models to the hardware that developers said they used.

It is exceedingly unlikely that these results are a coincidence. Across six trillion combinations, the best accidental match should reach only about 8 sigma (i.e., eight standard deviations above what random chance would produce). The real matches range from 49 to 1,385 sigma, and even the weakest single test hits 20.

These were data-center-scale training runs. With some analysis of release schedules and model details, I estimate that the largest, Kimi K3 and DeepSeek-V4-Pro, used 2,000 to 3,000 Blackwell GPUs each. Clusters of this size cost on the order of $150 to $200 million each to buy, and across these labs alone would add up to more than half a billion dollars of export-controlled GPUs, not counting experimental compute or otherwise. It’s quite likely that we see multi-billion dollar expenditure on export-controlled GPUs.

I am highly confident in this result, and it has been independently verified by senior researchers at OpenAI and Anthropic. You can read the full report at https://t.co/YOtzND0Jqk.

There is much more I’ve identified about these models through other forms of checkpoint forensics like this, and will have more to share soon.

Lutnick advocated the tariffs, scuttled a trade deal with Canada that sparked a pre-midterm trade war, and has been covering for a company funneling our technology to China while stalling presidential orders to curtail those transfers.

I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom.

But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa.

Here is my message for @AmitShah

Katie Wiles, daughter of former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is a partner at Continental Strategy, whose reported federal lobbying income rose from $1.8 million in 2024 to more than $27 million in 2025 and reached $35.7 million in the first nine months of 2026.

Continental promoted Katie to director in its Jacksonville and DC offices on November 8, 2024, one day after President-elect Trump named her mother chief of staff. The promotion added lobbying and business development to her existing communications role.

The firm holds a $35,000-a-month lobbying contract with the government of Republika Srpska, the pro-Russian Bosnian Serb entity. During an August 2026 trip that Continental says was for a separate US corporate client, Katie was photographed holding a rifle at a shooting range alongside the entity’s interior minister, Željko Budimir.

On September 21, 2026, Susie Wiles met at the White House with Željka Cvijanović, the Serb member of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s three-member presidency. A White House official says Continental partner Alex Garcia, not Katie, arranged the meeting.

The developments come amid allegations by former HHS senior adviser and MAHA advocate Calley Means that Susie Wiles’s office stalled MAHA policies while courting industry money for the midterms. Means also says Continental’s revenue surge was “tied to Katie Wiles working there.”

A Wiles spokesperson calls the claims “outrageous, defamatory, and provably false.” Continental calls the claims about the firm “inaccurate and baseless.”

IMPORTANT : The high profile Gokul Dairy Co-operative chairman election in Kolhapur won by the Mahayuti govt in Maharashtra . The Congress backed panel had earlier won the 25 board member elections by a narrow 13-12 margin. The Fadnavis-led govt brought in an ordinance and nominated four additional members with voting rights! Final result? 16-13!! So if 13-12 can be turned into 16-13 by an ordinance, what chance does the farmer-voter's mandate really have? Demo-crazy Maharashtra istyle!🙏

Exclusive. ECI’s internal records of 2024 elections: On 51 seats of Maharashtra, Haryana and J&K, votes counted differed from votes cast. ECI rules say such mismatch should trigger probe into possible rigging.

@Dhruvapandey At 15% hurdle, easier to underwrite an Axis or Hdfc compounding at 13-15% ROE vs IKS that needs a 20% revenue cagr on this base.

E20 बना 420 - जनता की गाड़ी से पेट्रोल चोरी!

मोदी सरकार कहती है - पेट्रोल में 20% एथेनॉल है। कर्नाटक सरकार ने 7 ज़िलों से पेट्रोल के सैंपल लेकर मान्यता प्राप्त लैब में जाँच करवाई।

नतीजा देखिए
- 14 में से 11 सैंपल में 20% से ज़्यादा एथेनॉल
- IOCL में 31.2%, HPCL में 30.5%
- IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Nayara, Shell - सरकारी हों या प्राइवेट - सब सीमा से ऊपर
- और कंपनियों की अपनी लैब ने एथेनॉल की मात्रा रिपोर्ट में लिखी ही नहीं

मतलब आप पैसा महंगे पेट्रोल का दे रहे हैं, टंकी में एथेनॉल भरा जा रहा है। नुकसान किसका? आपका।

आपकी गाड़ी इतना एथेनॉल पचाने के लिए बनी ही नहीं - मतलब, घटता माइलेज, बार-बार मैकेनिक। शौक से ली गई गाड़ी की बर्बादी।

और पंप पर लिखा तक नहीं कि टंकी में क्या डाला जा रहा है - चुनने का कोई विकल्प नहीं।

मोदी जी, बताइए - देश की टंकी में क्या भरा जा रहा है? पेट्रोल में असल में कितना एथेनॉल है? 20% से ज़्यादा मिलावट करने वाली कंपनियों पर कार्रवाई कब होगी?

और डिबेट की चुनौती अब भी खड़ी है। ये मुद्दा भी जोड़ लेंगे - आपकी नीतियों से असल में फ़ायदा किसे हो रहा है?

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Claims made by Science Team and founder Deepinder Goyal about their wearable - Temple Device - on their website, podcasts, media interviews and special events before the product is shipped out for 85000/- INR - and proof for those claims.

Claim1 : Real-Time Cerebral Blood Flow Tracking -
The device claims to continuously monitor blood flow and oxygenation inside the brain—a metric they brand as "BrainFlow"—using light-based optical sensors placed against the skin near the temporal artery.
PROOF - ZERO.

Claim 2: Biological Entropy Monitoring - The device outputs a proprietary "Entropy Score" ranging from 1 to 250. The company claims this score (which remain absolutely not validated) quantifies the body's real-time metabolic and sympathetic strain—essentially measuring "how hard the body is working to shed heat" and manage stress, sleep, or recovery.
PROOF - ZERO.

Claim 3: Superior Heart Rate Tracking Accuracy - The manufacturer claims that the Temple device is the most accurate heart rate tracker on the market, outperforming flagship wrist-based wearables even during high-intensity training (Zone 4 & 5 exercises).
PROOF - ZERO.

Claim 4: Insights into Longevity and Aging - The tool is marketed to explore the "Gravity Aging Hypothesis". The manufacturer implies that tracking changes in brain blood flow can help users manage physiological stress, optimize lifestyle choices (like hydration and sleep), and track indicators linked to long-term cognitive health and aging.
PROOF - ZERO.

WHAT CLAIMS ARE CURRENTLY PROVEN FOR TEMPLE DEVICE AS PER NON-PEER REVIEWED PRE-PRINTS?
- Temple device can sense flushing and increased blood flow to the skin of the temple region and scalp in people who are active. THAT IS IT. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABOVE CLAIMS or BRAIN FUNCTION.
