Some 5 weeks back, I read an extended X-post on AI. It is available at https://t.co/s5PPnHi0HH. Since then I have been breathing and living in AI world. Started 6 development projects. Not vibe coding; but meaningful products all with serious product management discipline.

It is a good day to remember Hindi-Chini bhai bhai" slogan (https://t.co/IPjJC07iKW) and the fact Nehru refused an offer to join UNSC as a perm member by saying "Not at the cost of China" (https://t.co/Y0R7DL7Kip), but now China blocks India's bid.

@jonathan_aufray Thus far cryptos haven't delivered on his vision. Store value, yes. Payments, not yet. The cost of transactions are too high for small payments. Me thinks.

@ProbFact This is true (a.s)

It is being reported that a dormant wallet woke up and transacted 10K BTCs.I imagine that some person rummaged their house all these years and located the keys written down in a piece of paper. :-)

@P_J_Fitzsimmons @octonion Thanks for tagging me. It is a great book. Made a nostalgic journey of those days some 50 years back.

Happy July 4th. How well do you know your American history? Take CNN’s Independence Day Quiz.

I got 10 out of 10. It is not a brag; the test is ridiculously easy.

@Hicoonal @goldenarcher Learning both to bruise and bear,
Learning how to stand a shock
Like a little bull of rock.
Dreaming of a day less dim,
. . .
And he came to fighting growth,
Beat his bull and won his cow,

Archaeologists Unearth 2,300-Year-Old Sword Decorated With Two Small Swastikas in a Celtic Necropolis.
Given Indian iron and steel based weapons were most prized by Alexander the Great and Roman Empire these two have Indian connection?

A headline in WP: Vance meets with pope as Francis’s Easter message decries ‘logic of fear’.
There is a subtle change in their style guide. They will not use Mahatma bc it is honorific. But there was a time they will use Ayatollah, bc is conferred. It looks like now Pope is out.

An olden but Goldie from Tamil cinema. If you are into mysticism of any religion, you will like this song. (A loose translation: Mother, with total surrender I lit a candle in your temple; it is you who have to redeem me.)

The previous tweet was prompted by a remark by Colbert last night: https://t.co/XY1xSDcUo9. The quote was by none other than Churchill himself.

Recollection from the past: "It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr Gandhi, [...], striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, [...], to parley on equal terms with the representative of the kingemperor."

It just occured to me that Baseball industry would resist Canada becoming the 51st state; they have to give up World Series moniker.

Adding Japanese teams would be a logistics nightmare. Central American teams would make American champions a rarity.
