@vineet_mausam Sir,Planning to go to Mumbai tomorrow (8th July morning 8am). Is it a bad idea or rains will be ok?

[Mehdi (e/λ) @BetterCallMedhi]

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock

my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive

when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost

what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise

I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily

the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…

China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally

so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine

the gap is ARCHITECTURAL

it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks

it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…

and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now

BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee

I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one

Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name

it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster

Maruti has never designed a single engine in forty years. Tata's "indigenous" Revotron was optimised by Austria. Mahindra's new electric SUVs run on BYD cells and Valeo powertrains.

After seven decades, India's $118 billion auto industry still rents the technology at its core — and the EV transition is reproducing the same pattern with different suppliers.

Indian Fanta Vs Europe Fanta! Indian Fanta exposed!

Fanta sold in India has 3 major differences compared to Fanta sold in Europe.

1.⁠ ⁠Per 300ml, European Fanta has just 3 teaspoons of added sugar but Indian Fanta has 10 teaspoons of added sugar

2. ⁠European Fanta has no artificial colours but Indian Fanta uses colour 110, which may cause DNA Damage, ADHD, Reproductive issues when consumed in large quantities.

3. Indian Fanta has 3 times the calories of European Fanta

We Indians don't deserve this hypocrisy by these MNCs. Not only Fanta, but many other companies sell inferior products in India.

Pringles in India uses palm oil, but doesn’t use palm oil in the US. Similarly Indian Kit-kat has less milk and chocolate compared to Kit-kat Australia.

MNCs sometimes sell inferior products in India. Sometimes its due to lower price-points, but often it is also because they feel they can get away with it.

These double-standards no longer work.

INDIANS DESERVE BETTER!

1/ The Third Battle of Panipat (January 14, 1761): A Turning Point
The battle was fought between the Maratha Empire, which sought to extend its influence in northern India, and Ahmad Shah Abdali (Ahmad Shah Durrani), founder of the Durrani Empire. Abdali, an Afghan king, had invaded India multiple times, but this battle was his most decisive. Despite the Marathas’ tactical defeat, their extraordinary valor made it one of the most legendary conflicts in Indian history. It is remembered as one of the largest and bloodiest battles fought on Indian soil

Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas decided to do an Ironman (at home) during his off week.

• 11 hours
• 7,000 calories burned

He did the swim portion in his pool and then used a peloton and indoor treadmill for the bike and run.

What a madman.
