I built a chess bot in Python this weekend ♟️
Features:

• Bot vs Bot
• Adjustable difficulty levels
Here's what I built, what I learned, and what I'd improve next 🧵
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.
It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
TIL that satellite communicators like Garmin inReach, the little device that can ping rescue services from anywhere on Earth, are banned for civilians in India.

I am saving ₹2868 per year or around ₹239 per month after switching to postpaid...
Family plan costs me roughly ₹883/30 days ( me and parents ). That's ₹294 per head with 30 days validity with unlimited 5G.
Now compare that to prepaid ₹349 5G plan.
349*3 = 1047 per 28 days...
Now scaling it to match the 30 days validity of postpaid it becomes ₹1122/30 days.
