you know RL doesn’t really generalize even at frontier scale bc lab employees are always like “let us know what the model isn’t good at and we’ll fix it for the next one”

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

Nothing humbles an Indian tourist more than realizing every country they have traveled to are much cleaner , better managed, with roads that have never seen potholes. Makes you wonder about your past karma that has rewarded us with public servants who treat public funds like an all you can steal buffet.

This MG road Bengaluru Footpath below Metro track.✨️

This should be replicated to major areas of Bengaluru , People will automatically forget their vehicle and will just walk around !!

We need an elected representative like Bengaluru, who becomes a minister of Jaipur development, and is a single owner of everything development.

[ashish @philotor]

@BhajanlalBjp @RajGovOfficial @JaipurToday
Most of the Jaipur streets are taken up by encroachment, people extending their shops, parking on footpaths. Hundreds of thousands of students in Jaipur are forced to walk on main roads everyday.

[DK Shivakumar @DKShivakumar]

Today, I visited HAL Airport Road, HSR Layout, Jayanagar 4th Block and Ashoka Pillar to personally review the progress of our Safe Footpath campaign and inspect the quality of the restored pedestrian infrastructure along with Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Shri @krishnabgowda and officials.

I firmly believe that a world-class Bengaluru must first be a city where every citizen can walk safely and with dignity.

Over 430 km of footpaths have already been reclaimed for pedestrians, and this drive will continue without fear or favour. At the same time, we are committed to protecting livelihoods. Registered street vendors will be provided designated vending spaces and push carts so they can continue their business with dignity while ensuring our footpaths remain accessible to everyone.

The loss of more than 900 pedestrian lives in the last three years is a stark reminder that we cannot delay action. Acting in accordance with the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we will expand this campaign further, remove abandoned vehicles occupying footpaths, clear encroachments, and continue repairing damaged walkways across the city.

So far, 9,878 encroachments of various kinds have been removed, and thousands of shop encroachments have been cleared. This is only the beginning.

I sincerely thank every citizen, elected representative, official and volunteer who has stood with us. Together, we will build a cleaner, safer and more walkable Namma Bengaluru - a city worthy of being India’s gateway to the world.

Build your own benchmark. You will learn a lot (esp about reward hacking) and have a decent chance of getting a job! Evals/RL envs are a skill high in demand regardless of what the env is based on.
