I was scammed by Indigo into thinking there was “Zero Change fee”.

I used the official Indigo WhatsApp chatbot to book a ticket on 26/6/26.

Later when I changed the flight on 29/6/26, I had to pay a change fee of ₹2878.

Email support’s unhelpful. @IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia

Google just released TimesFM (a Time Series Foundation Model) - a 200M-parameter model that can forecast time-series data it has never seen before, with no additional fine-tuning required.

Time-series forecasting is required everywhere - retail, finance, healthcare, etc. And for the longest time, this was the domain of traditional statistical methods. Then deep learning models came along and did better, but they involved long training and validation cycles before you could even test them on new data.

TimesFM changes this. All we need to do is point it at a new dataset, and it gives you a solid forecast immediately - zero-shot.

The architecture is decoder-only, the same idea as GPT. Instead of words, it works with "patches" - groups of contiguous time-points treated as tokens. The model predicts the next patch from all the ones before it.

The model was pre-trained on 100 billion real-world time-points, mostly from Google Trends and Wikipedia Pageviews - which naturally capture a huge variety of patterns across domains.

On benchmarks, zero-shot TimesFM matches PatchTST and DeepAR that were explicitly trained on those datasets, and even beats GPT-3.5 on forecasting tasks despite being far smaller.

The model is open on HuggingFace and GitHub if you want to try it.

Not every mistake needs a correction.

Some folks take a little too much joy in proving others wrong. Sure, it can feel satisfying - especially when you're right. And yes, sometimes stepping in is the responsible thing to do.

But if you're constantly scanning for flaws and calling them out, you're not being helpful - you're just being exhausting. People remember how you made them feel far more than whether you were technically right.

Give others the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they missed something. Maybe they're just having a rough day. If it's not mission-critical, let it go. Kindness doesn’t mean staying silent - it means being intentional about how you speak.

- If someone misses a small detail in a PR, nudge gently
- If someone shares an idea that’s slightly off, don’t tear it down
- If someone gets something wrong, help them understand without making a scene
- If you're in a group setting, choose private correction over public shaming - always

When this nitpicking behavior becomes normalized, it starts shaping team culture - and not in a good way. In some orgs, it's even unintentionally incentivized.

People start optimizing for not being wrong instead of moving fast and learning. Everyone gets a little more defensive, a little more hesitant. Progress slows down - not because people aren’t smart, but because they’re too busy being careful.

Engineering is not a zero-sum game. You don’t win by pulling others down. You build influence by being the person others want to work with.

Be kind. You're not here to win arguments - you're here to build.

Everything we have ever assumed about the upside down has been dead wrong.

Extremely shocking it is of the media for not covering the increasing missing cases of children in mumbai. It is painful to know that 82 children went missing in last 30 days from different part of Mumbai.
@MumbaiPolice high time to take this seriously. @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde
This 14 year old kid went missing form the school itself. This needs to be stopped at anycost. @CPMumbaiPolice

Wrong order delivery. Talked to customer care and has refused refund/replacement when a vegetarian receives non-veg food. It is not a small issue, it is a customer care failure. If @Swiggy brands can charge for service, they must also stand by it. Serious gap in responsibility here. ⚠️

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

you don't need to watch my videos to become a better engineer. to be honest, it has never been easier to become better. here's what you should do

1. pick an engineering blog
2. download it into text or pdf
3. upload it to your favorite LLM tool
4. keep asking questions until you think you have fully understood it.

please do not ask it to summarize. that's naive and bs. use LLMs to dig deeper into practicalities, implementation details, and challenges that you might run into when you hit production. go into absurd extremes and see what it spits out.

If you were curious, LLMs just gave you a high bias for action.

@arpit_bhayani Interesting problem for sure. Funny enough, I encountered this today, while uploading Academic Data in our organisation HRMS system, there are quite a lot variations in the names of institutions in which employee has graduated/post-graduated since it was a text box approach.
