@indhavaainko You are spot on. Its like a huge corporation who will be happy to acquire proven models. Wish @annamalai_k all the best. India need him.

The recent AI Impact Summit hosted by India recently brings focus on practical applications of AI. At Madukkarai in Tamil Nadu, a simple AI-based Elephant Detection System has enabled 8,679 safe elephant crossings in a little more than 2 years. Incidently it has also recorded 100 leopard alerts, 560 wild gaur alerts, and captured 14,888 deer alerts across two vulnerable railway stretches, protecting precious wildlife. In Gudalur in the Nilgiris, another AI system is working at the landscape level to generate real-time alerts for the local community, and in Hosur too, an AI system is helping elephants. These systems may not be perfect, no system ever is, but the foremost goal is protection. The future of AI lies not just in innovation, but in using technology where it matters most: solving real problems, in real places, and for real lives #AIforgood #wildlifeconservation #MadukkaraiAIProject #elephants @WWFINDIA @WWF @IUCN

@AirIndiaX and your boarding pass does not even say which terminal in Bangalore. Your Whatsapp bot is a joke. Horrible horrible airline. Had to goto BIAL site to know the terminals. Never flying you guys again

@ShivAroor @inna_makan @ShivAroor what can we do to make that this does not happen again?Mad respect for you for bringing this. How can we mobilise support to amend laws and hold the guilty accountable?

Any MP who brings a bill holding parents responsible and sent to jail will get massive support. I pledge my support, vote, funding for a campaign to end this menace. I dont want to see another mother’s tear. Its heart breaking.

Her 23-yr-old son Sahil killed by speeding Scorpio driven by a minor.

Minor taken before Delhi Juvenile Board, then given bail to take 10th Board Exam.

The Scorpio had 13 challans for overspeeding.

Airport pickups are such a show of love. Doesn’t matter if it is romantic or platonic. Anyone who picks you from the airport that you aren’t paying to do so, actually loves you.

Ryanair CEO addresses his recent spat with Elon Musk in new press conference:

"The Starlink people believe that 90% of our passengers would happily pay for wifi access. Our experience is tells us less than 10% would pay; He (Elon) called me a r*tarted twat. He would have to join the back of a very very queue of people that already think I'm a r*tarded twat, including my four teenage children. But we do want to thank him for the wonderful boost in publicly. Our bookings are up 2-3% in the last few days. So thank you to Mr. Musk, but he's wrong on the fuel drag. Non European citizens cannot own a majority of European airlines, but if he wants to invest in Ryanair we think it would be a very good investment."

The microservices conversation nobody wants to have:

Your 8-person team now maintains:
- 23 services
- 23 CI/CD pipelines
- 23 sets of dependencies to update
- 23 potential points of failure
- 1 person who understands how it all connects

That person is on vacation.

Amazon can do microservices because they have 10,000 engineers.
You have 8.

You're not building Netflix architecture.
You're building job security for the one person who set this up.

A well-structured monolith with clear boundaries beats a microservices mess every single time.

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while.

For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt.

The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale.

Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general.

This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less.

We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal.

Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”).

And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility.

Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income.

And then what happens?

The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated.

The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door.

Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

Totally. Its not about you but the interviewee. Let them enjoy the conversation

[Henry Shevlin @dioscuri]

The single best advice I ever got on conversation is “ask questions the other person will enjoy answering” which sounds insultingly obvious, but almost nobody does it, and it instantly makes conversations vastly more fun.

[Politics Pe Charcha @politicscharcha]

During UP elections, Aditi Singh got a BJP ticket.
Her husband was in Congress.

Priyanka Vadra asked him to abuse Aditi and question her character during the campaign to get ticket from Congress.

This is the mindset of Congress’ top woman leader, they have zero moral right to do politics over such a sensitive issue.

@ShivamVahia This is the key phrase. "We just dont know who is paying that price on our behalf and where". This movie has made it obvious that some body is paying the price with their life,at the brink of being sodomised. The viewer's heart aches to know those names but cant.

Something strange is happening in India's stock markets

In 2025, 63% IPO money raised didn't go to companies, but went to promoters and private equity

And this is not by accident, I spent weeks digging SEBI filings to understand how IPOs are rigged, here's what I found
