Missed prompt engineering. Now, it looks like I’ll miss loop engineering too 😐

@MrDHat Hello Saif! 🤙🏼😂

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@MrDHat On an unrelated note, for some reason this reminds me of the Saif call 😂

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@natxwang 🙌🏽 sure. Do keep an eye out for future events. I’m sure they’ll have another whiskey & cigar event again :)

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@natxwang Yep, Vanta :)

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@natxwang Yep, Straits Bar does have a cigar room, but yeah I’d say it’s more cozy than spacious, so you might want to keep that hair spray handy 😅

As for me, I’ve found another club, waiting for it to open officially. 😎

Can we have this in SG please? :)

Is Claude (design, code) a lot slower than ChatGPT, or is it just me? 🤔

@NitinVinay @pythonhulk It’s ghee roast Saar. Take it and go. 😎

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@pythonhulk @NitinVinay Isn’t the goal to go from bad jokes to insufferable jokes? I think he’s doing just fine 😅

[Ari | অৰিন্দম @pristinebeast]

@NitinVinay @pythonhulk Cheta, good to see that your sense of humour is intact 😎

The primary issue here is no Singaporean wants a luggage handler job. So they have to contract the jobs out to companies who hire folks from China/India/Bangladesh. QA is a big issue.

The solution is probably to eliminate humans handling luggage and use robots.

Everytime I go to Singapore Changi Airport it's worse

Used to be the epitome of high quality airports

Now it's throwing with your suitcase and the AC is at 30°C on eco mode

Lee Kuan Yew would not approve at all

This is like Mr. Vance trying to advise the Pope on theology.

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
