@icanvardar real cost and challenge is keeping the system running, not building it.

@sarahwooders MCP gives more context to LLM. yes there are other ways now possible but I still feel MCPs have a strong case.

Never knew google maps has a pro mode :P

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

@durov This is literally shooting the messenger.

@vijayanands IMD is probably using AI 😂

[Akash Ranjan @akasranjan]

@ash_twtz I don't think so, it doesn't use different heavy mighty name, just a minor version bump 🤷‍♂️

@yashhq_22 More unnecessary features 😂 and exhausted my limits within an hour 😞

[Akash Ranjan @akasranjan]

Fable gives superpower to your side projects with more token usage and still incomplete projects, because I keep adding more features 😕

@IncomeTaxIndia I would love to see india lead on the application of AI, we have lagged on the foundation model, we can lead on making effective use of it.

[Akash Ranjan @akasranjan]

@IncomeTaxIndia can we have access to income tax APIs simply by verifying our Digilocker identity? Will there be any issues?

I think with the MCP, it's better to let builders access api with rate and scope limited APIs without much approval or hassle. Atleast for personal use.

Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
