[Millie Marconi @MillieMarconnni]

A self-taught Irish schoolteacher wrote a book in 1854 that almost nobody read for 80 years, until a 21-year-old MIT student picked it up and realized it could be used to design every computer in human history.

His name was George Boole. The book is called An Investigation of the Laws of Thought.

Boole was born in 1815 in Lincoln, England. His family was poor. He left school at 16 to support them. He taught himself Latin, Greek, French, German, and Italian.

Then he taught himself mathematics. By 19 he had opened his own school. By 24 he was publishing original papers in the Cambridge Mathematical Journal, competing with men who had spent decades inside the best universities in Britain.

He never had a degree. He never had a mentor. In 1849, Queen's College in Cork hired him as a professor anyway.

In 1854, he published his masterwork. What he built inside it was something nobody had attempted before at this scale. He turned logic into algebra.

Before Boole, logic was philosophy. You argued in sentences. You reasoned in paragraphs. It was powerful and completely impossible to automate, because there was no formal system underneath it, just language.

Boole stripped it down to arithmetic. He showed that every act of human reasoning could be reduced to operations on two values. True or false. One or zero. AND, OR, NOT. If both conditions are true, the result is true. If neither is, the result is false. Every judgment a human mind makes, every decision, every deduction, could be written as an equation following those rules.

Logicians read it. They found it interesting. Engineers building machines had never heard of it.

For 83 years, the book sat there.

Then in 1937, a 21-year-old MIT master's student named Claude Shannon was working on a thesis about electrical relay circuits. Switches that could be open or closed. Current that either flowed or didn't.

He read Boole and understood something nobody had connected before.

An open switch is a zero. A closed switch is a one. A circuit with two switches in series only carries current when both are closed. That is AND. A circuit with two switches in parallel carries current when either is closed. That is OR. Shannon proved that every possible logical relationship Boole had described could be physically built using wire and switches.

That single insight is the foundation of every computer ever made.

After Shannon, chip designers stopped thinking about electricity and started thinking about logic. Every transistor on every processor running right now is implementing a Boolean operation. Every if-statement in every codebase is Boolean logic. Every database query using AND or OR. Every neural network threshold that fires or doesn't fire. All of it is running the algebra of a self-taught schoolteacher from Lincoln who died 160 years ago.

The strangest part is what happened to Boole at the end.

He was walking to class in November 1864 when he got caught in a rainstorm. He lectured for hours in wet clothes. He went home sick. His wife, Mary, believed in homeopathic medicine and thought the cure should mirror the cause. She wrapped him in wet sheets and poured cold water over him repeatedly.

He died a few days later. He was 49.

He never saw a transistor. He never saw a circuit. He never saw a single physical machine run a single one of his rules.

His book is in the public domain. Free to download. Most engineers use the word Boolean dozens of times a week. Almost none of them know who they are saying.

The man whose logic runs inside every phone, every server, and every AI model on Earth died soaking wet in a small Irish town, 83 years before anyone figured out what he had actually built.

Many 12th std CBSE children did not ask for their answer sheets as they blamed themselves for low marks. Will they get a chance by reopening the window to see their answer sheets?

This is the state of Pune's arterial road with 30 min rains.
And our leaders talk of 5000 Cr River Front Devp, London Eye, Bharat Mandapam etc.
Do they know a bit of urban planning?
Are they really aware of the common man's needs?
DO THEY REALLY CARE FOR THE CITY?

A motorist traveling near Lonavala successfully foiled a potential scam after being intercepted by two unidentified men on a motorcycle. The suspects aggressively signaled the driver to stop, falsely claiming the vehicle had an outstanding bank loan of ₹10 lakh. Sensing a trap, the driver remained inside his car with the windows rolled up and contacted the police, causing the suspects to flee. Authorities are now warning car owners to stay alert against such high-pressure intimidation tactics on isolated road stretches.

19 year old girl. One impulsive quarrel. One sip of Paraquat. 4 days of agony. Today, she’s gone.

Paraquat is a "No-Exit" poison. It has no antidote. It is 99.9% fatal (even as little as 10ml) yet it’s sold in every neighborhood store in India.

The torture it inflicts:
1. Lungs turn to stone: It causes rapid fibrosis, suffocating the victim while they are fully conscious.
2. Kidney Failure: It shuts down the renal system within 24–48 hours.
3. Esophagus Stricture: It causes severe chemical burns and scarring (strictures) in the food pipe, making even swallowing saliva impossible.

When will the Govt finally ban this? How many more kids do we lose to a herbicide already banned in 70+ countries.

This road has been talking so many lives since it was constructed. Why is it so difficult to make it safe.

[Punekar News @punekarnews]

A serious multi-vehicle collision took place near the selfie point near Navale bridge under Sinhgad Road Police Station limits. Around eight vehicles were involved, leaving more than 15 people injured. Authorities fear there may be fatalities.

Police and rescue teams are on the spot, and injured persons are being shifted to nearby hospitals. Traffic on the stretch (from Satara towards Mumbai) has been severely affected.

On my way to the ground in Delhi and my heart sank when I saw people feeding a whole army of pigeons. Doctors have been shouting from the rooftops about the dangers of inhaling pigeon droppings and the severe lung disease it could lead to. Please, let us stop feeding pigeons.
