@NewsFromGoogle This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that the also have Android and Chrome

I had an overseas business visitor to Biocon Park who said ‘ Why are the roads so bad and why is there so much garbage around? Doesn’t the Govt want to support investment? I have just come from China and cant understand why India can’t get its act together especially when the winds are favourable?’ @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @PriyankKharge

@JioCare Resolved .👍

@jiocare
I am unable to track the status of my jio fiber service request it says we regret delay will resolve soon.. nothing beyond that..Why no update?
TICKET : SR00002GQ146

[Kumar Katragadda @k_kumar85]

@JioCare I was forced to reschedule now ETA is around 40 hours 3.5 days. from time of complaint to engineer visit.
For a broken internet. NOT acceptable @JioCare @reliancejio @DoT_India there was no callback.or was not able to connect via customer care number.

[Kumar Katragadda @k_kumar85]

@JioCare No luck.. no info like that undrr "more" no clue when and wht time service engineer is comming..@JioCare . Can I get callback soon.

I just met a person who can't tell Python from C++.

He has never written a single line of code in his life, yet he feels he can build anything he wants.

He told me point-blank:

"I challenge you to tell me something I can't build using AI."

I tried to explain, but I couldn't find the right words.

The most fascinating aspect of vibe-coding is how it has convinced so many people to believe they are better and more capable than they really are.

[Bojan Tunguz @tunguz]

I’ve had one of those jobs.

@nabilajamal_ @IMFNews , congratulations for funding the Tactical Brilliance to the Terrorist Army. Shame on you.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

The IMF is a sponsor of terrorism.

[Kumar Katragadda @k_kumar85]

When i travel to the Valley 2 year back on a road trip , I believed in a narrative every one endorsed " They won't attack Tourists " . Today I realize how foolish I was.
Looking forward for Stronger response .

I'm going to call it right now. A lot of stuff is going to break on this mission.

By design.

As part of the plan.

Don't get upset. I'm not saying SpaceX plans to fail. I'm pointing out that SpaceX has taken an ultraimportant principle from software engineering, and realized it applies to all engineering.

Feedback beats planning.

And that, you see, is why SpaceX doesn't do things the NASA way. The NASA way was to gold-plate everything, plan and test and plan and test, and generate mountains of paper detailing every contingency, with every scenario prepared for.

SpaceX just shrugs, says "it's unmanned", and sends it.

Half the time it blows up. That's the whole point. They don't actually want it to blow up, of course, but they're anticipating that it might.

That possibility is part of the plan. Because one rocket blowing up, or crashing, in an actual end-to-end test, beats many, many man-years of planning and plotting.

The key realization here is that knowledge only comes from empirical observation. Everything else is just speculative.

The sooner you get into a feedback loop, and the faster you run it, the more iterations you can do in less time. This means, while others are planning and speculating, you actually learn something.

Relevant data is the most precious thing in the universe. And it's worth blowing up any number of rockets to get it.

Because rockets are just stuff. They're just made of stuff. And you can always get more stuff.

You can never get more time.

So expect to see a lot of things go wrong on this, and other SpaceX missions. Anticipate it. Accept it when it happens. Doesn't mean the dream of the stars is dead.

It just means we're doing it cowboy style.

This is a valuable lesson for our own lives. If there's something you want to do, something you want to try, some goal you have, it's easy to dip a toe in the water, test the temperature, and plan. A lot.

Planning makes us feel good if we're afraid. Because it provides us with the illusion of security. Never mind that we don't know which scenarios are actually going to happen, never mind that we're planning for the wrong thing, planning makes us feel safe. And if we're nervous, we can plan forever.

But the difference between the expert and the novice isn't theory or intelligence or plans. It's relevant domain knowledge. Gathered from empirical observation.

So the trick is to get into that feedback loop as soon as possible, and run it as fast as possible. Give yourself the most possible opportunities to learn, per unit time.

We only learn while we are moving.
