Google's Pixel UI is seriously lagging behind in terms of true customisation for the users, where as companies like Oppo and Apple are really leading with the customisation for lock screen and widgets.
Honestly Google just sucks
It's about time we got some new lock screen clock styles on Pixel UI
Or the ability to make our own themes instead of the slop themes that Google gives

The sample portal is live. You can visit it and I would love to receive suggestions for any changes or enhancements in this.

Maybe they can start with redesigning their website to make it more functional & visually appealing. The below is just a screenshot from what I vibecoded this weekend. I will post it tomorrow on GitHub.

Kolkata needs a total infra overhaul.
The whole city needs to re-do the roads. They are bumby everywhere.
The old buses need to go. New low-floor electric buses need to replace them on all routes.
Park Street needs to come alive again. Declare the entire region as a special heritage zone. Restore the beautiful buildings. Give them aesthetically pleasing lighting. Build new footpaths. Regulate the traffic.
Footpaths across the city need to be cleared of all the junk and encroachment. Overhead wires need to go underground. Beggers need to be rehabilitated.
Shanties sprawling across the city need to go. Drains / canals need to be cleaned.
Some old buildings which are single-handedly decreasing the HDI of the entire state - must be identified and demolished.
Build more flyovers or underpasses. Decongest the traffic. Build footover bridges.
Clean the local pokhars - do not let anyone treat them as garbage dumps.
Furthermore, the Opus 5 model is providing responses that are a full paragraph in length for very simple setup instructions, which could easily be explained in just two or three sentences.
Going on the record to say @claudeai's Opus 5 model is significantly worse at long, context-heavy coding tasks than Opus 4.8. Borderline usable. I've had to revert back to 4.8 to fix 5's work.
Really appreciate this kind of initiative and action from the government. I hope this kind of initiative is also taken by every other state if not the central government

FDA Maharashtra has launched grievance redressal portal for citizens. It is AI enabled platform, having auto assignment, auto escalation and built in accountability with traceability features .

Iโve come to the conclusion that we should rotate these mfs every 5 years. After that they start acting as if they own you.
I canโt believe I used to be a fan of a politician, but better late than never.
No party should be treated like theyโre above accountability.
@TheBengalIndex Moreover, I believe significant investment in infrastructure for both trams and buses is necessary. It might be a controversial idea, but the government can potentially eliminate or at least decrease the number of syndicate-operated buses and replace them with more modern buses.
@TheBengalIndex I believe the city can have a mix of both. The government buses are low in number because of the private syndicate bus routes (blue buses and the mini buses) and they provide adequate services with an affordable price. Trams need to be faster to compete in the evolving nature.
The font on the refreshed #GoogleGemini feels different than the font on the #GooglePixel. I hope the font and the design language come over to the Material UI and the overall interface of the Pixels as well.

We ran an AI Data Engineering experiment:
Gave non-tech managers Claude, fake data, and 2 weeks to build a data pipeline.
Results:
โข 70% quit by day 3โ5 โ โboringโ + โno idea what itโs sayingโ
โข 20% finished 2 weeks but not the pipeline โ learned some Python/SQL โ โAI is great, we still need data engineersโ
โข 10% built nothing but scheduled a meeting suggesting interns could do this
Takeaway:
AI can write code.
It canโt tell you whatโs wrong, why itโs wrong, or what wrong even looks like.
Thatโs why Software engineers still exist.
One Big Table (OBT) is exactly what it sounds like: a denormalized table with all your dimensional attributes as columns.
Pros:
- No joins needed in queries
- Simpler for BI tool users
- Fast query response times
Cons:
- Managing changing dimensions is tricky
- Adding new attributes requires backfilling
- Storage can grow quickly
OBT isn't new - we used to call them data marts or materialized views. The name is new, the pattern isn't.
