Tech guy in Australia adopts a rescue dog.

Dog has aggressive cancer. Months to live.

Instead of accepting it, he spends $3,000 to sequence the tumor DNA.

No biology degree. No lab.

Feeds the data into ChatGPT and AlphaFold.

Identifies mutated proteins.
Matches drug targets.
Designs a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.

From scratch.

A genomics professor reads it and is gobsmacked that a random dog owner did this.

The hardest part?

Ethics approval.

Red tape takes longer than building the vaccine.

Three months later it’s approved.

First injection.

Tumor shrinks.
Dog’s coat becomes glossy again.
Dog is alive and happy.

Now the obvious question:

If one guy with a laptop can do this for a dog…

why aren’t we doing this for humans?

One person.
$3,000.
Two AI tools.

Just outperformed a process that normally takes pharma companies years.

We’re about to cure a lot of diseases.

@vintagemapstore @grok can you make a similar map for india on with publicly available data

I live in Europe, I have lived in May cites including Berlin and I have seen the world but you can’t fucking lie so hard just to prove a point.

Try doing the same in the following areas of Berlin:

Kreuzberg (Kottbusser Tor, Gorlitzer Park), Neukolln (Hermannplatz, Sonnenallee, Hermannstraße), Mitte (Alexanderplatz), Wedding (Leopoldplatz), Moabit; Kopi / Kopenicker Straße and then we talk.

You can do exactly what you posted in Mumbai and no one will bat an eyelid.

Not every place in Berlin is safe, same way not every place in India is dangerous.

Guy is sharing correct image of 1.13 crore votes but still writing it as 1.8 crore in the accompanying text

Looks like they have made toolkit of spreading misinfo hoping majority public won't tally image and text

With 1.18 crore votes spread across 143 seats - RJD per seat vote is 75k

While BJP has 96 lakh votes across 101 seats which comes to 96k vote per seat

Who is supposed to win more seats in this situation?

When DOGE was talking about cutting $8 billion from this program or $17 billion from that program, economists would not shut up about how that’s only “0.4% of federal spending” or whatever.

But none of them are pointing out insane it is to complain about $300 million in donor-funded spending for the new East Wing versus $1.5 trillion a decade for SNAP or $700 billion a decade for Enhanced Heavy Duty ACA subsidies. And oh yeah, $10 trillion in Medicaid spending over a decade.

I have a hypothesis about why Indian CEOs are being selected in such large numbers by international boards.

Indian CEOs are, of course, smart, talented, and capable leaders. But plenty of Americans, Brits, Israelis, Europeans, Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are too.

And it's not just about speaking English either, as some think, given immigrant Indians are chosen as being better than American or five eyes born native English speakers who are equal, or more in numbers in the western talent pool.

My theory is that they're chosen because they tend to be docile and servile along with all the great qualifications and qualities of a leader.

An Anglo-Saxon white, Chinese, or Israeli CEO might let their community's or birth country's interests creep in and interfere at some point. Or they will just be more brave and open about voicing their opinions and taking decisions which may affect shareholder value.

For example, in the recent H1B visa fee hike case, I saw so many Whites (including Elon), Jewish and Chinese Americans (including CEOs) openly come out against it and support hi-tech immigration, even directly support Indian immigrants.

Indian origin leaders, on the other hand, are a safe bet for keeping their mouths shut in silence. For instance, they haven't yet posted a single line condemning racial targeting, attacks, or killings of Indians, or speak out against H-1B visa policy changes that hurt their own community - or even their own company.

Indians, especially India born ones, can just be trusted to play it safe, focusing solely on their personal and company interests. In fact, they'll bend over backwards to serve their boards, companies, and the deep state, if any, dictating.

My hypothesis can be further proven by seeing that India born Indian origin leaders are picked for CEO jobs in US companies, and not many US born Indian Americans (not even close) who are as qualified with all the great credentials and just as good - if it is really the race or culture that makes good CEOs.

Because, even though they are Indians with similar achievements, qualifications from top schools, and capabilities, being born and brought up in the US, they tend to have a bit more of the independent American spirit and much less of the docility and spineless, servile attitude.

Harsh reality:

The only reason people who left to abroad choose to have relations with people back home, is for help when their parents pass away.

Once this is done, they literally have 0 interest in maintaining ties with you.

The sooner you realise the better.

[Prachetas Bhimajiyani @Prachetas_B]

Damn… how did I miss this?

Yesterday, when Pakistan violated the ceasefire, drones hit Srinagar, and maybe even Vaishnodevi.
News channels were showing it. Tweets were out. CM Omar Abdullah tweeted. It was out there.

Then suddenly - a Silence.
News vanished. Tweets deleted. Army said “nothing happened.”
Even MEA’s press briefing felt soft, weird, and fishy.

Now remember and think.

India had hit Pakistan’s nuclear sites. And that’s shattered Pakistan. That broke something inside them. That’s why they went crazy. That’s why they called ceasefire. But not for peace.

Pakistan was about to push the button.

Probably, they threatened India on the DGMO call.
Probably, they told the US too - “We’ll use it.”

America stepped in. Forced everyone to stop.

India was cornered.
Not by fear - but by what was coming. A full-scale nuclear exchange.

And that’s why everything got buried.
Because if the world found out how close we were, global panic would begin.

One more thing:
Pakistan’s been reporting repeated 4.0 earthquakes for months - same regions.
Same magnitude. Same pattern.
That’s not natural.

Probably that’s nuke-related activity.
And India must’ve known.

Now it all makes sense.

Ceasefire wasn’t weakness.
It was standing on the edge of the cliff - and taking a step back was must.

And now they’ve broken it again.

Just wait.
This game is not over.
It’s only paused.

Hi again, Mike. 👋

Let’s go over this for what’s now a third time. Maybe it will sink in.

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 2.9 million gigatons (Gt) of ice. 🧊

Using the conversion factor that 1 Gt = 1 billion tons, this means that the ice sheet has roughly 2.9 million billion tons of ice.

Oh yes, math is involved!!

Now, if the ice sheet is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour, that would work out to 720 million tons of ice lost per day and a net 262.8 billion tons per year. 🫠

Here’s the math, 🫳

-30 million tons × 24 hr. (1 day) × 365 days (1 year) = -262.8 billion tons / year

262.8 billion tons of ice lost per year?

Oh my, that sounds scary! 😱

That is, of course, until you realize that at the current rate, it would take more than 11,035 years for the entire Greenland ice sheet to melt.

🏔️ ➡️ ⛰️ = >10 millennia

Let’s do more math to confirm this.

2.9 million billion tons / (262.8 billion tons / year) ≈ 11,035 years.

Now, what would this mean for sea level rise (SLR)? 🌊

Well, according to NASA, for every 360 Gt (or 360 billion tons) of ice lost, the global average sea level rises by about 1 millimeter (mm).

🔗 https://t.co/PmUG8Xi5nm…

If 262.8 billion tons of ice is lost per year, that would mean sea level rises at a rate of 0.73 mm (~0.03 in) / year from loss of Greenland ice alone. 📏

Ignoring Antarctica, this would cause the global average sea level to rise about 1 ft. every ~417.5 years.

Now, the rate of ice loss could accelerate or decelerate depending on other factors (e.g., natural variability or positive / negative climate feedbacks), but it’s clear from these back of the envelope calculations that you are hyperventilating over nothing.

This is a very manageable problem.

So is your climate anxiety.

Just stop parroting WEF propaganda and go touch grass.

- “Election Flying : Helicopter Operations “

- Helicopters are routinely deployed for flying various political leaders during election campaigns.
- These machines are hired from operators who offer their services in exchange of monetary benefits.
- These operators have a valid license called as Air Operator Permit issued by the regulator. They are colloquially referred as NSOP ( Non Scheduled Operator Permit)
- The hiring party / individual makes an itinerary depending on various sabhas and the program is available with the operator/ pilot.
- The District Administration which includes PWD, Fire , Medical, Police makes arrangements for the correct preparation of the helipad. There is a prescribed procedure for making of helipad.
- The permission for the helicopter to land at specific helipad is under the authority of District Collector and the District Election Officer also gets a notification of any program in his / her jurisdiction.
- The flight crew as well as passengers are subject to being checked ( personal as well as baggage ) by the representative of DEO.
- In normal case any person other than CISF cannot do this job. At helipads where there is no approved govt security the company is to provide adequate security as per its approved Security Program. In most cases the Capt of helicopter will assume the duty and responsibility of Security Officer.
- Upon landing at a helipad the reps of DEO will check all baggages including baggage storage and this shall be on camera. The passenger manefest may also be re verified.
- The security of the helicopter will be taken over by local police and the hiring agency will make necessary admin arrangements for crew.
- Each program is approved by flight clearing agencies including Air Force and AAI. The criss cross of multiple helicopters is avoided by varied separation ( horizontal/ vertical)
- The nav aids available at helipads / runways and the ability of most helicopters is such that they cannot continue to fly past sunset. In coming years we may have a change in this situation.
- One cannot deny that election flying makes good business opportunities however one needs to be mindful that election operations are extremely high pressure. Changes in plan due to ongoing political campaigns ( on field conditions) , routing due to traffic , quick refueling , late arrivals of passengers ( every Sabha wants max time of the speaker : so rightly so the timing is under pressure) : all these are some factors which keep the pressure on.
- All in all helicopters are happy to play an active part in “ Festival of Democracy “
- I find myself fortunate to play an active part in the process of “ the leadership influencing the electorate “ The helicopter makes it possible for many campaigns : manifesto : speakers to reach max people.

“Happy to fly the bird
Fortunate to be there up and above “

Formula for neat AI papers: take a psychological bias and see if it applies to LLMs (usually, yes)

Applying Asch's conformity experiment to LLMs: they tend to conform with the majority opinion, especially when they are "uncertain." Having a devil's advocate mitigates this effect
