Dear @makemytrip @makemytripcare you've made it impossible to connect to a human. I need to change my travel dates because of a family emergency. Please consider sharing an email/real person to talk to

@princepozo Lucky! I got only 1 allocated 😂

These are activities, not identities. So profound. I wish big tech employees recognize this and start to wear different hats :)

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Major difference in my mind:
- an engineer, given a problem, invents and tries multiple solutions and stops when the solution is good enough. The goal is product innovation and shipping.
- a scientist asks new questions, proposes various new solutions, compares them (sometimes with old ones), and writes about it. The methodology must be sound or else peers will sneer. The goal is scientific breakthroughs and technological progress.

Both can be called "researchers". Many people can do both: these are activities, not identities.

Importantly, most product innovations are built on scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that happened 2, 5, 10, or 20 years earlier.

For Marathi books, I use Bookganga, Akshardhara or Mehta book sellers (Kolhapur).

They have superior selection, good discounts and nominal delivery charges.

Recently, Mehta book sellers managed to procure out of print books for me.

Support your regional book stores.

@anshulbhide Inspiring! I moved back to Pune with my family after 15 years in the US, would love to connect. Long on Pune and the future of AI in India :)

[Ishan Pande @ipande]

@anmolm_ @ravihanda Would love to chat more about this and give my perspective. Moved in May 2025, after 14 years in the US. Family of 4 + a dog :)

@shl @GergelyOrosz @ershus Why don't you CC your AI agent? 😅

Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital is one of the most mismanaged hospitals in Pune. Wonderful doctors, pathetic staff!

This is counterintuitive for some, which is why there’s a paradox named after it. But if you lower the cost of something that was previously supply constrained, demand for that thing goes up. Software engineering is just one of the easiest examples to contemplate.

The process goes like this: every small business, every IT team, every large enterprise sees that engineering can now drive vastly more output. They then start to consider all the new things they can build or automate. They even test building prototypes themselves.

They only get so far with that approach because they realize there are still 50 other tasks that go into building software and maintaining it. So they start to hire more engineers to do that work. All of this for work they never would have considered automating or having software for if AI didn’t exist.

So yes, automating tasks, in plenty of fields, will lead to demand for experts, not less.

@ALEngineered Over! I'm cautiously optimistic that this happens for the greater good of the industry. Actively pitching this within Amzn. We will remember this like the "how'd you move mt fuji" style was that Msft used to ask in the 90s.
