@geekyranjit Where do you see the future of mobile devices, as we know them today, into the future?

With AR/XR and wearable computing making some early feasible prototype and proof of experience a reality in ‘25, is that where mobile experiences of the future are headed?

The #LeidenfrostEffect creates a vapor layer that lets water droplets "dance" on a hot pan, signaling the right temperature for dosa batter to spread evenly without sticking, resulting in crispiness.

Ever wondered why a dosa turns out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside? The secret goes far beyond culinary instinct driven by physics.
In an authored article for @dt_next @iitmadras, Prof. Mahesh Panchagnula unpacks the science behind this everyday magic. The familiar practice of sprinkling water on a hot pan before pouring the batter is actually a test rooted in the Leidenfrost Effect—a phenomenon formally identified in 18th-century Germany but intuitively mastered in Indian kitchens for generations.

When the tawa isn’t hot enough, water just sits and evaporates slowly. But at the ideal temperature, droplets glide and “dance” across the surface, floating on a thin vapour layer. This same effect prevents dosa batter from sticking, allowing it to spread evenly and crisp up beautifully at the edges.

So the next time you hear that sizzle, remember: making the perfect dosa is not just tradition—it’s a brilliant interplay of temperature, vapour, and technique.

Read “rogue operational autonomy” as “general adversarial network”!

Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately.

I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m.

No ticket, no Slack, no communication.

Just silent action.

I asked the office if anyone had fixed it.

Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard.

I pulled him aside afterward.

He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.”

I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description.

He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue.

I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue.

I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.

#AirIndia just sold a #Boeing737 it didn’t even know it owned, all due to a quirky paperwork lapse that left the jet forgotten in Kolkata since 2012.

DPT (Document Pre-trained Transformer) is truly a godsend!

Recursive extraction is likely to be the next innovation to learn the reader/reviewer's persona/expertise to further create multiple iterations based on what is contextually relevant and personalized.

I just dumped the latest NVIDIA 10-Q earnings report, released an hour ago, into Agentic Document Extraction, and the results are really accurate! Left side of the image shows the original PDF; right side shows the extracted info, including e.g. the $57.01B revenue in the most recent quarter. This is powered by the DPT (document pre-trained transformer) model. Check it out!

The lines, between innovation typically attributed to Corporate strategy and policy making in Government, are fast blurring which augurs well for the governance in general. Fully expect other federal structure constituents to jump on the bandwagon of the @ncbn garu model.

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

This man is an unstoppable force of nature.

What I’ve admired about him for decades is not just his obsession for development but his desire to always be innovative in his policies.

He raises the bar for himself and for everyone around him.

1729=13+123=93+103.

No smaller positive integer can be split into two cubes in two distinct ways.

This unique property placed 1729 at the front of a class of numbers known as “taxicab numbers,” denoted Ta(2).

Good sales is not just about winning the deal.
It's about winning the customer.

Ferrari plays for scarcity. McLaren plays for loyalty.

Which game are you playing with your customers?
