@Iampatelajeet Very good idea imo, i also ideally want to write more

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Nostalgia max
There was a time when I could write complete Segment Tree code in C++ in 2 minutes

[amrit @amritwt]

saw some old code that I wrote by hand

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@ccg33k @coachutsav 🫪🫪 Nice

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

I am noob in this info, but I have only heard max 25L in credit cards.

Then there are charge cards with practically unlimited limits depending on your relationship.

[︎ ︎venom @venom1s]

What is the maximum credit card limit a person can get in India, and which banks offer it?

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@Priyansh_31Dec I hope you have plans of having kids in 2-3 years max, after that I think personalized on-demand video will reach levels that I am skeptical any of the current educational content will be consumed by humans in direct form.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Intuitively it should be completely opposite, they would be curious about lot of different disciplines.

But I am not a best founder or a founder, what do I know.

[Masha Bucher @mashadrokova]

Best founders I backed had no hobbies. Only one obsession — the company.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@yashnakhare My perception was also that it's good. But heard many mismanagement cases this time, not sure if there was decline in quality or that's just few cases which happened everywhere in all races.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Are there like any properly managed Ironman races in India?

[Yashodhan Nakhare @yashnakhare]

Almost everyone I know who got stung by the jellyfish in Goa during the Ironman 70.3 is now facing some weird itching where the sting happened. Nothing for the entire first week and suddenly we're all scratching the marks.

Weird.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

If true, my time at tower research gonna come handy.

[amrit @amritwt]

So, in the end, the only jobs left will be at AI labs and HFT firms

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Tldr; user usgae data is everything

I am nearly 4+ Months In WhatsApp

I think of WhatsApp like a shared language, spoken by 3bn+ people. Sometimes we use words, and sometimes it’s a voice note to a parent, a sticker that ends an argument, or a "that was a fun dinner” at the end of the night. Language is at the heart of everything we as people do. We write letters, tell stories, get things done and make plans for the future. A WhatsApp chat is often where we start. 

Like any language, the people who use it shape it. They don't wait for permission. They find new things to say, and new ways to say them. Often, our users show us what should come next based on how they’re using the app and communicating in the world. 

I’ve spent the last few months listening and understanding what our users want from us and what I heard is simple: help people stay close to those who matter to them, and get more done on WhatsApp. So that's what we'll build.

First, we want to make connections richer.

Sometimes hearing someone's voice, sending a joke, agreeing on a plan or knowing they're safe is the whole point. People send over 10 billion voice messages and over 4 billion stickers on WhatsApp every day. As the way people communicate evolves, we will evolve these experiences with them. We'll make voice notes, groups, stickers and video simpler and more expressive, because how people feel close keeps changing.

Second, we want anything you do on WhatsApp to be as simple as sending a message. Too many things start in a chat and end with many more steps somewhere else: paying a bill, borrowing money, staying connected when you travel. Each handoff to another task costs time. We're working with financial services and telecom partners so that finishing something feels as easy as starting it.

Third, we want to make this all more efficient with AI. It should quietly find what you need, get things done and make sure you never miss a booking or an appointment. The best technology saves you time, so you can get back to the connections that matter.

None of this works without trust. WhatsApp handles over 100 billion messages and 2 billion calls every day. Trust takes years to earn and a moment to lose, and I don't take that lightly. Whatever we build, WhatsApp must remain simple, reliable and private. These principles we’ve had for years aren’t changing. Your personal messages and calls stay end-to-end encrypted. This and our quality bar stays the same.
What happens inside WhatsApp only matters for what it makes possible outside it: more time together, stronger communities, and fewer barriers between people and the lives they want to live.

Onwards.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@ameyakarve Can you share the diff with https://t.co/yleMEpPdg7, what's added and what's removed.

My yearly will expire on Jan, can take a call on switching based on that info

[Dimitri @thedimitri]

Not enough people talking about how betrayed Jensen Huang must feel right now. Found a mistress he can talk about semiconductors with and she was lying to him the whole time. He must be heartbroken

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@TiyaTwts Weather is better though for most people when compared to Delhi, no extreme winter and no extreme summer.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

While Delhi is royally screwed in terms of AQI, it's a common misconception that Bangalore have good AQI.

Perhaps our bar is so low I guess.

[Sikandar @VinamreKasanaa]

I’m happy to learn Kannada and move to Bangalore. It’s a minor cost to pay to leave the chimney that is Delhi.

They have the best air in India, are super friendly, and their weather is conducive to innovation. It’s the move if you don’t want to have Chernobyl babies.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@ramprakash0324 Surely, probably will come sometime for wfh+running from there for a week

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Those two have shorted Nvidia I guess

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@TiyaTwts That also happens in a rich building or sth no, makes sense in a way

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

His net worth is 1.5 billion ~ 15000 crores.

Ofcourse a lot of it is not liquid.
But still 523 million rupees (tf btw) = 52.3 Crores is trivial.

[Bebo @Itsbebo__]

This is Zomato owner Deepinder Goyal. In 2022, he bought a luxury apartment worth 523 million rupees in DLF The Camellias in Gurugram.

It has all the amenities of a five-star hotel, but now this apartment's...Read news

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Let alone niche websites, semantic search is broken even for Flipkart.

I heard couple years back they are revamping whole search and all, even heard of couple friend of friends who moved from google search to flipkart new search vertical but yet to see improvements as a user.

[Naina @Naina_2728]

i absolutely hate luxury e-commerce websites with zero semantic search. wdym i type “red heels” and you show me a “no results found” page, but the second i type the exact nomenclature of YOUR heel, you show me the result wthelly man. i know it's intentional but 1/10 ux.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

[TitanicJackX @TitanicJackX]

Please remember to wear your seatbelt at all times for safety. 😳😳😳 I wish I could have this kind of calm all the time.

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

@DoBaniye But logically they should have expected this risk, like it's not really far away to think customer may take their buisness if treated like this but yeah who knows different departments may be not evaluated as a whole

[Abhishek @abhishekcode42]

I think they have concluded lot of Infinia cusfomers are not profit making for them and effort of trying to make profit from them isn't worth their time/investment.
But still very crazy to not follow if clearly stated.

[Do Baniye - Credit Cards, Travel & Lifestyle @DoBaniye]

HDFC Bank has hit a new low!

After a 20-day delay, they are now saying that only spends on the active Infinia card will count towards the ₹18L limit for this financial year. This, despite Premier Customer Care very clearly confirming, when specifically asked, that spends on both cards would count before we proceeded with the network change request.

We have an 11-year relationship with the bank, with multiple personal and business accounts. But is it finally time to move all our banking relationships elsewhere?

If they can’t even stand by what their own representatives explicitly confirm, what is the point of maintaining a relationship with them?
