.@SwarajyaMag this year has entirely justified my few years of subscription. Best indigenisation and tech capability deep dives I’ve seen with the sovereignty lens that’s needed. Jan till now on fire.

@ResearchBirch Hi, thanks for your wonderful work - could you as an exception share the pdf for my reference ? Prefer printing and reading - thanks again !

At IIT Bombay, three undergraduates have spent ten months building a semiconductor fab from scratch, fabricating their first working devices this week.

A complete NMOS transistor — on tools they made themselves — is expected by the end of the summer. 🧵

US can hold Olympics, FIFA WC, NHL playoffs, NBA finals, MLB, NFL and college football all at the same time without any stress on the cities/states and will each game going sold out even at elevated prices!

Nearly every company on this map traces to a single decision made in Pasadena in 1930.

That year the Guggenheim family paid to bring Theodore von Kármán to Caltech to run its aeronautics lab. His graduate students, a crew known on campus as the Suicide Squad, lit their first liquid rocket motor in a dry riverbed north of the Rose Bowl on Halloween 1936. That test site became JPL.

The aircraft industry stacked in around it. Lockheed, Douglas, Northrop, and Hughes built planes across the same basin through WWII and the Cold War. Each generation of engineers trained here, then trained the next batch, then sent their kids to the same schools.

The talent never left. That is the whole story of this map.

SpaceX headquarters sits at 1 Rocket Road in Hawthorne, inside the old Northrop plant that built aircraft on that spot for 70 years. The same building once turned out 747 fuselages. Elon put the rocket factory there because the workforce was already standing in the parking lot.

You can move a headquarters with a single post. No one has figured out how to move tens of thousands of aerospace engineers and the knowledge sitting in their heads. When the SpaceX HQ move to Texas got announced, this map barely lost a dot.

The startups are new. The cluster feeding them is almost a century old, and it compounds every year a fresh graduate walks out of Caltech or USC into the company next door.

What's next, all India internet shutdown at whims and fancies. No one in their right mind believes Telegram is the only way to disseminate information. Seems we're reaching the stage where lack of integrity is so high that nothing except pre-internet era will do the job.

First they made the four meter rule for car length. Then car manufacturers change 4 cylinder cars to 3 cylinder while keeping prices same.

Then ethanol came into reduce both power and mileage. And traffic still exists.

Is there a more emasculated cohort than the Indian car owner?

The biggest unpriced risk in AI products right now isn’t model intelligence.
It’s model access.
Regulatory shifts, export controls, and commercial decisions are making single-provider bets structurally fragile.
Smart teams are already treating this like supply chain risk. Here’s the pragmatic playbook:

❌ DON’T
• Wire your core product to one frontier model from a single provider or jurisdiction and assume it stays available
• Optimize exclusively for today’s “best” model without portability
• Treat LLM access as a solved utility
✅ DO
• Abstract your prompts, tool schemas, and orchestration layer so models are swappable with minimal friction
• Run the majority of workloads on strong open-source models (cheaper, more controllable, lower regulatory surface area)
• Keep at least one fully integrated fallback model ready to route traffic to instantly
• Manage model providers with the same discipline you apply to any critical supplier: diversification, monitoring, and contingency planning

This isn’t about avoiding any specific company or country. It is about Business continuity planning and redundancy.

It’s about preserving optionality and shipping velocity when the environment changes — The teams building model-agnostic systems with live fallbacks and open-source baselines will keep moving when others hit sudden restrictions or cost spikes.

Build for resilience, not just performance.
Your product roadmap depends on it

Surprise inspection confirms that postwoman (who belongs to Haryaba) had not delivered hundreds of letters/mail and simply kept them in sacks in her room.

First thing which struck me was this - what is a lady from Haryana doing in a remote area in Kumaon as a postwoman? Apart from everything else, won't she have language barrier?

A little bit of research tells me that this issue is again of government's own making where seemingly good reform on paper are implemented w/o understanding their 2nd order effects.

Because recruitment for Ground-Level Staff (like Postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks) is now dictated by a centralized online portal based strictly on 10th-standard marks, a candidate from Haryana can easily secure a vacancy in Uttarakhand since both states fall under the required "Hindi-speaking" banner.

This is precisely how a young woman from the flat plains of Haryana finds herself posted as a postwoman in a remote, high-altitude village in the Kumaon hills.

While she got this employment, from day one, her entire focus would've been go back to Haryana. And for this, she would've immediately filed for an Inter-Circle Transfer under Rule 38 to get back to her home state.

But this has a waiting list.

And delivering mail in Kumaon does not mean cycling down paved streets, but trekking on foot for hours across steep, unforgiving mountainside trails in isolation.

She neither relates with the people or the local society and the environment. She's simply waiting to move out.

Ergo, there is no motivation to work and because of her apathy, there is complete breakdown of her duties, where instead of scaling cliffs to deliver letters, she simply hoards the incoming mail bags in her rented room, letting them pile up out of sight while she counts down the days until her transfer is approved.

Volkswagen Tayron R-Line गाड़ी के मालिक ने नितिन गडकरी जी से सवाल पूछा है।

गाड़ी के मालिक का कहना है कि उसने 2026 में लॉन्च हुई करीब 58 लाख रुपये की Volkswagen Tayron R-Line खरीदी थी,

गाड़ी के इंस्ट्रक्शन में साफ लिखा है कि इसमें E5, E10 और E20 पेट्रोल का इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है, लेकिन अब E30 ईंधन की चर्चा हो रही है,

गाड़ी मालिक का कहना है कि, नितिन गडकरी जी, अगर भविष्य में E30 ईंधन लागू होता है,

और उससे मेरी गाड़ी को कोई तकनीकी या आर्थिक नुकसान होता है, तो उसकी जिम्मेदारी कौन लेगा?

मेरी 58 लाख रुपये की गाड़ी को होने वाले नुकसान की भरपाई कौन करेगा?

As India starts to export iPhone, plans to close the factory.

New government. New rules.

FYI Intel founder Robert Noyce wanted to make the 4004 chips in India as India was the one of the few countries to have a semiconductor fab lab back in the 60s!!

But licensiya raj meant they could export only 100 units annually.

Mind boggles at the sheer amount of bad decisions

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

Sure, things can be better, but it's crazy how transparent and safe the Indian markets are compared to the US, all thanks to SEBI and the exchanges. It's not just Fidelity; even other big brokers seem to have 'flipping' restrictions in place.

It was Akalis idea to do this

They never turned back to power post this.

Even lost Amritsar LS seat.

A lesson that politicians learnt

[Antony Stanley @antonystanley09]

Nice try, @ZEE5India , but a clause saying "we can change the terms whenever we want, without notice" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

You cannot advertise a ₹799 World Cup plan with 3-device access, collect money from consumers, and then quietly reduce it to 1 device and point to the fine print.

Consumer rights don't disappear because you inserted a one-sided clause in your T&Cs. Promises made at the time of purchase matter.

Issue a clarification, a refund policy, and an apology.
