Dealer claims to be denying warranty citing a "surge protection device" requirement that isn't clearly stated as a warranty condition anywhere, and contradicts the manual's own "portable" charger description

Beware customers wanting to buy into EVs, especially @Mahindra_Auto

@Mahindra_Auto @mahindraesuvs what is this?!

Is the portable charger given with car marketed as portable really portable or not?!

Are you guys clear first?

Deeply disappointed with @ppsmahindra (Kanakapura Rd, Bengaluru) and @Mahindra_Auto after-sales.

As a proud Indian consumer, purchased BE6 with trust I put in @anandmahindra

My BE6 portable charger handed over 19 June (RO27S002140) for warranty repair; 3+ weeks, no resolution!

[Gagan M @gaganblr]

@Mahindra_Auto’s own manual clearly depicts how it can be used.

But the dealers have their own story to say!!

Just whatever they want to say, without any accountability when asked for proper information!

[Gagan M @gaganblr]

@Mahindra_Auto expects EV owners to treat a portable charger as a fixed installation device.

The definition of “portal” is a question here, you are expected to install a SPD device everywhere you might decide to charge using your portable charger, isn’t this a joke?!

[Gagan M @gaganblr]

@Mahindra_Auto If this is the case for a simple portable charger, it worries me to think what kind of reasons will be given for larger value components of the EV. This is really really worrisome and raises the question of malpractices followed by Mahindra dealers and after sales. #be6 #mahindra

The first experimental evidence of recursive self-improvement (RSI).

Autoresearching the autoresearch agent for eight days.

The result beats the harness we hand-tuned for two years, on held-out benchmarks: 🧵(1/7)

I really regret trusting an Indian brand, I thought we are living in a different India!

Really great feat by @Mahindra_Auto product team, but reputation being destroyed by after sales and dealers! It’s a shame to see this happen.

I wish I had gone with BYD!

@Tataev @TataMotors

I am not able to get any updates on this and I have just been given false promises since many weeks.

Is this what Tata customer service has come down to?

Some people today are discouraging others from learning programming on the grounds AI will automate it. This advice will be seen as some of the worst career advice ever given. I disagree with the Turing Award and Nobel prize winner who wrote, “It is far more likely that the programming occupation will become extinct [...] than that it will become all-powerful. More and more, computers will program themselves.���​ Statements discouraging people from learning to code are harmful!

In the 1960s, when programming moved from punchcards (where a programmer had to laboriously make holes in physical cards to write code character by character) to keyboards with terminals, programming became easier. And that made it a better time than before to begin programming. Yet it was in this era that Nobel laureate Herb Simon wrote the words quoted in the first paragraph. Today’s arguments not to learn to code continue to echo his comment.

As coding becomes easier, more people should code, not fewer!

Over the past few decades, as programming has moved from assembly language to higher-level languages like C, from desktop to cloud, from raw text editors to IDEs to AI assisted coding where sometimes one barely even looks at the generated code (which some coders recently started to call vibe coding), it is getting easier with each step.

I wrote previously that I see tech-savvy people coordinating AI tools to move toward being 10x professionals — individuals who have 10 times the impact of the average person in their field. I am increasingly convinced that the best way for many people to accomplish this is not to be just consumers of AI applications, but to learn enough coding to use AI-assisted coding tools effectively.

One question I’m asked most often is what someone should do who is worried about job displacement by AI. My answer is: Learn about AI and take control of it, because one of the most important skills in the future will be the ability to tell a computer exactly what you want, so it can do that for you. Coding (or getting AI to code for you) is a great way to do that.

When I was working on the course Generative AI for Everyone and needed to generate AI artwork for the background images, I worked with a collaborator who had studied art history and knew the language of art. He prompted Midjourney with terminology based on the historical style, palette, artist inspiration and so on — using the language of art — to get the result he wanted. I didn’t know this language, and my paltry attempts at prompting could not deliver as effective a result.

Similarly, scientists, analysts, marketers, recruiters, and people of a wide range of professions who understand the language of software through their knowledge of coding can tell an LLM or an AI-enabled IDE what they want much more precisely, and get much better results. As these tools are continuing to make coding easier, this is the best time yet to learn to code, to learn the language of software, and learn to make computers do exactly what you want them to do.

I write this as an optimist. Over the last 20+ years since the Indian economy opened up, we’ve been closing the gap between us and the western nations. That gap is widening once again, thanks to AI. We are at a point in the global innovation cycle that it is clear to me what has brought India so far won’t take us much further. We need to rethink our approach to entrepreneurship and investing if we are to compete. Below is a short diagnosis, and a strawman proposal ⬇️

Woohoo gpu.cpp has now been officially released!

This is a really exciting project which provides a device-independent way to use GPU compute. No more writing separate code for CUDA, AMD, Mac, and Intel GPUs!

We can't wait to see what you all are able to create with this.

[Gagan M @gaganblr]

I am thrilled to open my network to the world.

And I think the best way to connect with new people is 1:1s.

So I’m offering discount on my @Topmate for first week.

Comment below, I’ll DM you the code.
