@royalenfield
Worst experience placing an order at your authorised dealership in Bellandur - Teknik Motorcycles.

I’ve paid the full amount in advance, but they’re not giving me my order and are asking me to pay Insurance, RTO and accessories amount twice.

[udasi @onesquarepeg]

@royalenfield I am not paying twice. Fix this.

Over the past few weeks, the first set of people have taken calls with their https://t.co/VWEiM2kIke AI Reps. We’re ready to show part of what we have been building, with more coming soon.

We are setting up connections between professionals whose interests align and who have something meaningful to offer each other. We are also bringing high-quality roles to Profound that people can apply for through their AI Reps.

One of the first roles comes from @Rippling, where we are helping hire a Product Design Lead in Bengaluru.

The role is on Rippling’s HRIS team, which owns the system of record for employee data across the platform. You will own the end-to-end design across hiring, employee data, organisational change, and compliance workflows, while setting the quality bar for the product.

To apply and get represented sharply for the role, get on a call with your Profound AI Rep. The conversation gives your AI Rep the context to understand the products you have designed, the constraints you worked through, the judgment behind your decisions, and the outcomes you owned.

Your Profound AI rep uses that context to prepare a docket, a role-specific brief that shows the hiring manager how your experience maps to the work. You review it before it is sent, which keeps the representation accurate and grounded in work you stand behind.

STOP ASKING YOUR WIFE "HOW WAS YOUR DAY"

she will say "fine" every single time

replace it with this instead:

“analyze your day and find the top 3 largest inefficiencies, then create proactive agentic workflows that will fix them. make no mistakes”

@ayushb_tweets i think their new branch on the 19th Main must be 2 years old, they had one in High Street I think that was much older

When I was an intern on MS-DOS in '93, one of my last projects was the "StepUp!" upgrade: putting the entire MS-DOS upgrade on a single floppy disk.

Normally, it was 3-4 disks, so saving a couple of bucks on each copy, times a few million copies, would save the company bajillions of dollars. My cut of that? Perhaps a full-time offer if I did it well.

And so, thanks in part to some help from the big brains we had recently acquired from FoxPro, I modified MS-DOS Setup to apply binary deltas instead of shipping entire files.

It was, of course, all done in pure x86 assembly language, as was the style at the time. It's not a hard problem until you have to write it; and you're just learning x86, and there's no Internet yet!

The "rate of churn" in most MS-DOS binaries from one version to the next was usually very low. As a result, the actual delta from the previous version was small, and it all fit on a single floppy.

Bajillions saved! And a job offered :-)

@aryanuiux @LueStudio looks damn cool

@pixelandpump satya vachan ahaha

[udasi @onesquarepeg]

@pixelandpump I also feel the future increasingly belongs to people doing good work beyond 1 role.
It’s not about shipping more, it’s about shipping better.

(Specialists still will have their place in the world though ofc)

[udasi @onesquarepeg]

@pixelandpump A similar identity crisis I’ve been going through. I’ve come to realise that it’s just when smth like AI comes, there’s a lot of unbundling and rebundling of roles that happens

Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.
