Can we make a quirkier edgier version of TMKOC and Khichdi optimised for @NetflixIndia audience but without gaali galoch and sex?
Claude: let's call it #Chumbak here are the first 16 episodes!
Today is the last day of the Income Tax Act 1961.
A 65 year old law dies tonight.
From tomorrow your salary slip changes.
Your basic salary must be minimum 50 percent of your CTC. Companies kept it artificially low for years to reduce your PF. That ends tonight.
Your PF goes up. Take home may drop slightly. Retirement corpus grows significantly.
If you resign your company must settle full and final within 2 working days. Not 30 to 90 days like before.
Form 16 is replaced by Form 130.
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad now get 50 percent HRA exemption. Same as Mumbai and Delhi.
Tax slabs unchanged. Surveillance gets tighter.
Tomorrow I will break down exactly what this means for your pocket.
Save this. Share with every salaried man you know.
When I was consulting for @HBO Silicon Valley, zero-loss compression was the holy grail Richard Hendricks chases that perfect middle-out algo could shrink everything w/out breaking a single bit.
Google just did something even more practical for the AI era: TurboQuant compresses LLM key-value caches down to 3 bits per value using random orthogonal rotation + PolarQuant scalar quantization & optional 1-bit QJL residual correction.
=>> 6× memory reduction, up to 8× faster attention (on H100), & 0 degradation on LongBench, Needle-in-a-Haystack, and RULER for models like Gemma. No retraining, no calibration needed.
Fiction just got out-engineered by reality. 😅💚💚
🚨 Do you understand what just happened..
the owner of OnlyFans just died at 43.. Leonid Radvinsky.. the man made $3 billion off a platform where other people sell themselves..
he took 20% of every transaction.. every video.. every message.. every tip.. while creators fought algorithms and chargebacks and deplatforming threats just to make rent.. he sat at the top collecting a cut of their bodies.. and everyone called him a "tech founder"..
the man wasn't a tech founder.. he was the most successful middleman in history..
and the wildest part.. OnlyFans was profitable from day one.. no VC money.. no IPO.. because when your business model is taking a fifth of what someone earns from their own skin.. you don't need investors.. you need creators desperate enough to not ask questions..
he had $3 billion and still couldn't beat cancer at 43.. what exactly are we all racing toward.
Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham explains how he used ChatGPT/AlphaFold (spent $3,000 with no biology background) to create a custom MRNA vaccine to treat his dog’s cancer tumors. Unreal.
this story is absolutely insane 🤯
> tech guy with zero biology background.
> his dog got terminal cancer.
> vets said 1 - 6 months left.
> bro said nah not on my watch.
> asked ChatGPT for a treatment plan.
> sequenced tumor DNA for $3k.
> used AlphaFold AI to model mutated proteins.
> designed world’s first personalized mRNA vaccine for a dog.
> partnered with universities to synthesize it.
> ethics approval took 3 months.
> vaccine design took 2 months.
> first injection December 2025.
> tumors shrank 75% within weeks.
> dog happy.
> universities confirmed it worked.
> now designing version 2 for remaining tumor.
AI + a guy determined to save his dog just outperformed the pharma industry 💀
the cure for cancer will be open source.
imagine you’re Travis Kalanick
you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves
then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign
so you step down
the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future
gone
$4 billion to Aurora
the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale
silicon valley moves on
as they always do
but you don’t
you don’t really forget
you go quiet, completely quiet
you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens
you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees
and nobody even knows the name
eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn
then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore
it’s a robotics company
1. food
2. mining
3. transport
your first move?
acquiring Pronto
the autonomous vehicle startup
built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program
oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth
now he’s coming back to work with you
and the reports say Uber itself
the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo
the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing
poetic justice
your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved
you call it the golden age
your manifesto ends with three words:
“I never left”
eight years of silence
then this
but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation
everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story
it’s neither
you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention
that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like
most founders would’ve stayed bitter
most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island
you didn’t do any of that
you just kept building
and now the same people who pushed you out need you again
so whether you love him or hate him
the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building
karma is real
welcome back Travis
This is Vitória. She was rescued off a Brazilian highway after a car wrecked her in 2020. His rescuer Leo Quit his job, moved cities, funded the whole recovery. Now she sits lockedin on the human who rescued her
🚨 Perplexity just made every AI company look stupid with one announcement.
They're shipping a Mac mini that never turns off. You plug it in, leave it on, and it works through your files, apps, emails, calendar, 24 hours a day. While you sleep, while you eat, while you're on vacation, it's working.
> A full-time employee with a power cord sitting next to your coffee mug with no salary, no sick days, no meetings about meetings.
> Your company pays you $80K a year to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Perplexity just offered them something that works 24/7 and probably costs less than your monthly health insurance.
But the part that gave me chills is the name. They called it "Personal Computer."
The last time someone used that name was IBM in 1981. That machine killed typewriters, killed secretaries, killed filing clerks, killed an entire generation of office jobs.
They didn't call this an "assistant" or a "copilot." They named it after the thing that already replaced millions of jobs once before.
Same name. Same playbook. Different body count.
And they know exactly what they're doing.
Microsoft just partnered with Anthropic to launch an AI that can run office work for you and replace millions of office jobs
>It’s called Copilot Cowork.
>You describe the outcome you want.
>The system converts that into a step-by-step execution plan.
>It pulls information from your emails, meetings, files, and chats.
>Then it executes tasks across Outlook, Teams, Excel, and PowerPoint.
>It can build meeting decks, research companies, and prepare reports.
>It can reorganize calendars and schedule meetings automatically.
>It keeps working in the background until the task is complete.
Microsoft 365 has 400M+ users.
For the first time, those workers might have an AI that can actually do their job.
- be openclaw
- built as a side project and open sourced for fun ( Clawdbot)
- github explodes
- anthropic steps in. it gets renamed to openclaw
- openai acquires it
- anthropic, perplexity and everyone else start shipping their own versions
- now openclaw is ahead of react and linux on github.
Let that sink in.
When you speak to Gemini, your audio is recorded, compressed, sent to a massive data center often in the US/Singapore, processed by 1000s of GPUs, & sent back. If your internet lags for a sec, the translation breaks. Sarvam’s Edge models run entirely on your phone's hardware w/o an internet connection. It is a 294MB micro model that matches the accuracy of Gemini’s multi tb cloud models. Also, it means even a farmer in a dead zone in rural Bihar can have a live, private conversation with a doc in Chennai with zero data costs & zero latency.
When someone tells you something can't be done, remember there's a sign at NASA that says:
Aerodynamically, a bee's body is not made to fly, but bees don't know that. 🐝
