Tragedies like this often occur due to a "window of vulnerability" or Cold Chain Failure. If the vaccine isn't stored at 2°C-8°C constantly, it loses potency.
4 ways to prevent this from happening to you
1️⃣ The 15-Minute Flush: Immediately wash the wound with soap and RUNNING water for 15 mins. This is the single most effective way to kill the virus at the entry point.
2️⃣ Demand the RIG: For broken skin (Category III), you need RIG (Rabies Immunoglobulin) inside the wound, not just the vaccine in your arm. RIG provides instant antibodies while the vaccine takes 7-14 days to work.
3️⃣ Choose the Right Hospital: Avoid small, local clinics that might have frequent power cuts or poor refrigeration. Go to a major government hospital where cold chain protocols (backup generators/medical fridges) are strictly monitored.
4️⃣ Zero Delay: If the bite is near the face/neck, the virus reaches the brain faster. Start the treatment within hours, not days.
India playing exactly like it has no kohli,no dhoni, no yuvi,dropped in form sanju for duck master abhishek, dropped bapu for wash for God knows why and chasing a mammoth total against a superb team. #INDvsSA
Back from a 7 day trip to Kerala. Few observations that might feel like alien to North Indians;
1) Travelled 600KM by road and didn't see any potholes on the roads.
2) The total toll paid is Rs 45 and that too while traveling on a road to the Airport. No toll road anywhere else.
3) Didn't see a single police person or traffic police on the roads still not traffic jams.
4) No one was driving on the wrong side or breaking the rules.
5) No pan, gukta, cigarette shops and no one is splitting on the roads. No public smoking.
6) No eRikshaws.
7) No one peeing on the roadside.
8) No poster/photo of the state's CM seen anywhere across the trip. Thankfully not even a photo of camerajeevi as an eyesore!
9) Unlike Goa, no one is there to scam you as a tourist. From 5 Star hotels to KTDC hotels, you are treated with respect and as a guest.
10) No langauge supremacy. If they don't know English, they will speak in Hindi and vice versa. No hate for Hindi speakers.
11) You will not feel unsafe even at night.
12) Women were doing jobs considered for only men in North India.
13) No Thar, Scorpio, Creta as a symbol to showcase your money or muscle power. Cars were cars for transport and not for showing your supremacy.
14) No caste or religion written on the rearglass.
15) No religious chest thumping. Temples, churches and mosques, all places of worship coexist peacefully in same vicinity.
16) No digging up cities in the name of senseless development.
17) Government healthcare services and hospitals are first choice for the people.
18) People respect your time and are punctual.
19) 100% literacy reflects in the behaviour of the people.
20) Best state in terms of infrastructure, natural beauty, religious harmony, government healthcare, education and hospitality I visited so far.
Third is - organizational chaos. In a company where there is perfect order and there is no figuring out, agents will fit beautifully. But that's not how cos work. Ppl don't know things and they talk and talk and figure. This is a very divergent process possibly AI can't fit into
In 2024 Air Canada was held liable in court for something their chatbot told a customer. Everything is alice in wonderland for agentic ai until someone mentions "liability". Who is responsible for any business damage? This is a real problem and biggest roadblock to adoption.
The biggest lifesaver for Indian software developers working in Infosys, TCS, HCL currently is;
Enterprise data.
Enterprises are highly sensitive to giving access to their data and it is highly unlikely that they will give access to an autonomous AI agent.
But for how long..!
And the second biggest problem is blackboxing. Companies have trade secrets woven into their processes. Companies wouldn't know how much and what an LLM learns when they adopt agents. Nobody does. This is a major risk that you wouldn't hear tech bros and their minions talking abt
AI is going to hit job mkt brutally in few years. Things will get unimaginably centralised, companies will shut down global centers with only a few places managing entire business. Investments will dry up in most places. Only true cosmopolitan with quality workforce will survive.
@sajaniaf If someone asks a Comp. Sc. Researcher: why is binary search better than linear search of n sorted numbers?
Answer IS: the former takes log(n) steps and latter takes n steps in the worst case.
Answer IS NOT: I have a PhD and decades of experience.
Fun fact: if Bill Gates hadn’t listened to Warren Buffett and hadn’t sold his Microsoft shares to diversify, he would be the world’s first trillionaire, worth twice as much as Elon.
What do we learn from this story?
Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
He knows what he's doing and doing what he's been tasked to do.
This is part of a psyops by the DS to create a perception of a leader (even if you recognize that this is AI-generated, the brain is being conditioned subconsciously to view him like acting as a medieval king).
These psyops gradually influence people’s minds. Eventually, an issue affecting people personally - whether instigated or organic - will linked to the leader and his govt through another psyops.
Then the neural networks that were trained using such imagery and words (which were previously suppressed by the conscious mind, which knows these are AI-generated) will begin to activate, causing discomfort and disillusionment in the person towards the leadership.
This is when they can trigger protests or expand an existing one.
Concerning that this guy doesn't understand what Grok did over the last few days where anyone could ask it to undress anyone else without consent. Or maybe he is just milking this for content and engagement and doesn't give a shit about ethics
I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero.
Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously generate images, it does so only according to user requests.
When asked to generate images, it will refuse to produce anything illegal, as the operating principle for Grok is to obey the laws of any given country or state.
There may be times when adversarial hacking of Grok prompts does something unexpected. If that happens, we fix the bug immediately.
Ya!! Nothing says "India's finest thinker" more than rejecting a spectacularly daft statement (or position) no one made, attributing it to a rival & smiling like you've solved Fermat's last theorem. It's called strawman argument - so smart!!!!
Desperation is not consent: Why Deepinder Goyal gets it royally wrong
Deepinder Goyal’s defence of the gig economy follows a familiar corporate script: selective statistics, convenient averages, and a steady shifting of responsibility – from platform to partner, from company to consumer, and finally to society itself.
By continuing to live in The Camellias, one might hallucinate that the air in Gurugram is clean. But anyone who has looked out of their window knows that it isn’t, and is choking those on the street below.
India’s gig economy undoubtedly delivers speed, scale, and convenience. But it also systematically transfers risk – unstable incomes, capital costs, safety hazards, and job insecurity – onto workers with the least bargaining power.
History is unambiguous on this point. From factories in industrial England to the cotton plantations of the US to platform companies of today, markets and capitalists rarely correct power imbalances on their own. They require scrutiny, regulation, and pressure from outside their system.
Treating desperation as choice and churn as flexibility may work in investor presentation decks, but it does not make the system fair.
The real question is not whether the gig economy creates work, but whether it creates work that is economically viable once risk, costs, and churn, are honestly accounted for. That’s the long story cut very long.

My essay in @newslaundry. The best piece I have written this year 🤣
We aren't outraging enough. Why? Cos we lack empathy as a society that's why we just moved on when we see a tragedy around. Empathy is sign of intelligence. We are probably the dumbest or at least one of the dumbest country of them all.
We are not outraging enough on this because almost all of us got water filter at home. Some form of RO or Aquaguard thing. Whenever we go out we order bottled water in restaurants, trains, flights, etc.
We just cannot comprehend what it is like to live on the regular municipal water without relying on a filter
Watching Argylle on Apple TV and the movie references 'Nehru Jacket' for the main character casually. Nehru is probably a bigger brand than we anticipate.
Dehatis do dehati things and then share on dehati social media circles to get views where more Dehatis watch this. What a social media created dehati cluster fuck!!
"Hindu boys mocking Jesus Christ." 🚨🤡
"This Christmas turned out to be extremely distressing for Christians in India."
Then don't cry racism when Western nations respond similarly. This hate and intimidation will only isolate you. Global shame awaits.
