For a month now, an entire political ecosystem blamed Punjab for Delhi’s poor air quality. TOI’s latest report shows stubble burning from MP & UP beat Punjab.

Politics driven pollution solutions are our worst enemy.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

I can't tell you how many rich Indians reach out to me privately: regarding moving out of India.

Their goal is not necessarily "save tax". Their goal is better lifestyle for kids: cleaner air, safety, better opportunities.

Sad part is: when rich people move out-- they leave a massive vacuum.

Less than 2% people pay direct tax in India (this is one of the lowest in the world). 1 rich person pays (HNI) would be paying massive taxes.

If he/she leaves, that's a significant loss for other 98%. People don't get this simple point.

Things like judiciary, pollution, infrastructure seems deeply broken in our country. This was always the case, nothing new here. It was shit 15 years ago, its shit now. Nothing significant happened.

But, at least there used to be harmony in the past. People used to respect each other's viewpoints. We saw our nation come together during episodes like Nirbhaya.

Now what? Nothing. AQI can bloody go up to 999+, people will simply yap: that the meter was built by Soros. And, end the discussion there.

Rich people leaving is just one of the many consequences of collective apathy towards a broken system.

Announcing a significant upgrade to Agentic Document Extraction!

LandingAI's new DPT (Document Pre-trained Transformer) accurately extracts even from complex docs. For example, from large, complex tables, which is important for many finance and healthcare applications. And a new SDK makes using it require only 3 simple lines of code. Please see the video for technical details. I hope this unlocks a lot of value from the "dark data" currently stuck in PDF files, and that you'll build something cool with this!

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

I'm thrilled to announce the definitive course on Claude Code, created with @AnthropicAI and taught by Elie Schoppik @eschoppik. If you want to use highly agentic coding - where AI works autonomously for many minutes or longer, not just completing code snippets - this is it.

Claude Code has been a game-changer for many developers (including me!), but there's real depth to using it well. This comprehensive course covers everything from fundamentals to advanced patterns.

After this short course, you'll be able to:
- Orchestrate multiple Claude subagents to work on different parts of your codebase simultaneously
- Tag Claude in GitHub issues and have it autonomously create, review, and merge pull requests
- Transform messy Jupyter notebooks into clean, production-ready dashboards
- Use MCP tools like Playwright so Claude can see what's wrong with your UI and fix it autonomously

Whether you're new to Claude Code or already using it, you'll discover powerful capabilities that can fundamentally change how you build software.

I'm very excited about what agentic coding lets everyone now do. Please take this course!

@trackmanish All the cases where money has been given in electoral bonds - someone needs to investigate it and bring out the truth. Otherwise some of these thoughts might keep lingering.

@kalapian_ @earthkitchen To some extent but water table has been falling for all these years. Now they are trying to create and renovate lakes and early results look encouraging.

[Amit Kumar Gupta @AmitKGupta1978]

@kalapian_ @earthkitchen Delhi govt has been focusing on creating lot of water bodies in Delhi leading to increased water table or in some areas not reduction in water table. That’s probably the model to go for.

@ShivamShankarS Wow. I did not know so much about EVM and the changes being done.

Election commission can do workshops and try to make it more TRANSPARENT rather than opaque - I mean process.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

This is long, but worth your time. Please read and share widely.

I just came to know about this.

A well meaning Endocrinologist and Diabetes specialist @PremNarayanan9 has been sued and dragged to Court by an Ayurvedic company (IndusViva) that makes a quack product called iCoffee for control of diabetes and weight reduction.

The defamation suit is for $60,000 (50,00,000 INR).

The good doctor had made a one-minute reel on the product, discussing the factual lack of efficacy and safety studies of iCoffee, in good quality human trials.

He was sent a legal notice to take down the video, which he did. The video (with English subs) is linked in the next post (tweet).

But thereafter, a defamation suit was filed at the Bangalore Civil Court against him, by the company, demanding payment for "monetary loss."

In the defamation suit (which I have read through), the manufacturer (IndusViva) mentions that they are a multi-level marketing company and their product is "well tested."

The first part of the statement is true, but the second part, not so.
iCoffee contains:
Salcital (extract from Salacia reticulata herb)
Premium Coorg Coffee (in decaffeinated form)
Velvet Bean (Mucuna pruriens) extract
and an iCoffee Creamer which has 22% Salcitol

The price for 50 sachets is 3000INR ($36)
This is very expensive for an untested product advertised through extraordinary claims and sold through a pyramid scheme.

Extract of Salacia is not standardized in the product. The extract dose is not mentioned. Salacia extract is supposedly beneficial at minimum 1000mg where it acts on glucose absorption in intestines, which still remains to be proven in large quality Phase II and Phase III trials. How much of Salacia does this product contain? No idea.

The effectiveness of Salacia in diabetes is questionable since the quality of evidence is very poor and only based on small human studies.
https://t.co/FwJxmQbZh0

There is literally ZERO studies peer-reviewed and published on iCoffee in medical literature. ZERO.
https://t.co/QbBWT3fOIs

The only study that the manufacturer IndusViva cites showcasing "effectivness" of its quack coffee product, in the defamation suit, is actually a substandard study published in a garbage, third-rate, predatory journal called Indian Journal of Medical and Allied Research, the website of which clearly says they will accept papers "within 24 hours." Clownery from IndusViva company at its peak. And I could not even find that study.
https://t.co/68dfIKhGIx

iCoffee also contains Mucuna puriens or Velvet Bean extract which is a high source of L-Dopamine which carries the risk of the side-effects of L-DOPA, which include several gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms. Like other herbs, it always carries a risk of negative interactions with various medications - meaning it can interact with your real diabetes medications.
https://t.co/hgsXX4KXoS

iCoffee is a quack product and its marketing is based on flimsy evidence. There is no data of iCoffee improving diabetes or reducing weight. There is no data on its safety and side-effects in the short and long term. Please be aware of such products.

I love coffee. Standard black coffee.
But this iCoffee, I would not touch with a 10 ft pole.

And please support doctors like @PremNarayanan9 who bring evidence-based medicine to the people at great personal cost. I hope he wins in Court.

If any of your loved ones ever go through (God forbid) a brain stroke, like I have with my mom. Pls reach out to me. My DMs are open.

I am not qualified for any medical advice. But as a primary and only caretaker, I am always more than willing to offer insights from my experience that will probably help you.

@ViaMedia8 Colonel Srinivasan from twitter has been my guiding light every step of the way and his insights with his mom has immensely helped me.

I would like to pay it forward.

Take care guys!
