@rishi_suri Welcome Sir

[Siddharth Chaturvedi @RcSid2002]

The women described as 'half-widows' deserve justice, dignity and answers wherever possible. So do the families of civilians murdered by terrorists. So do the displaced Kashmiri Pandits. So do the relatives of police personnel, elected representatives and ordinary Kashmiris killed by militant violence. And so do families searching for missing loved ones in Pakistan-controlled territories. Terrific piece by @rishi_suri Sir

インドの首都・デリーに到着しました。
日本の総理として約３年ぶり、私個人としては初めてのインド訪問になります。

モディ首相との間で、現下の国際情勢を踏まえた日印の戦略的協力関係の深化や、経済安全保障やエネルギー安全保障を含む喫緊の課題を中心に議論することで、相互補完的協力を推進し、日印の「特別戦略的グローバル・パートナーシップ」の一層の強化を目指します。

Flying with a Boeing 737 Max 8 run by Air India express tomorrow @Vinamralongani !

@Vinamralongani Still concerned about safety? :) Or it hasn't just happened?

Food, nuclear, pharma, data centres.

India’s four biggest growth bets are all water-intensive, being built in states that are already running out of it. The resource isn’t priced. The metering is just starting.

Somewhere in that gap is a company worth building…

Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji has announced plans to bring a proposal for a Rapid Rail corridor connecting Lucknow, Unnao and Kanpur, aimed at strengthening regional connectivity and accelerating economic growth across Central Uttar Pradesh. Modelled on India’s first Rapid Rail corridor between Delhi and Meerut, the proposed project is expected to significantly improve mobility and support integrated urban development in the region. The Hon’ble Chief Minister also highlighted that nearly 700 acres of land have been earmarked for the Defence Corridor and around 200 acres for industrial clusters in Unnao. These initiatives are expected to boost industrialisation, attract investments, generate employment opportunities and further strengthen Uttar Pradesh’s position as a leading destination for manufacturing and infrastructure development.

For more details, read the attached news article.

@GabbbarSingh Better than many airports in the country. Tier 2 cities are where you can actually have ease of living, and one can easily add Lko, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Raipur, Surat and Jaipur in the list

I was using Fable to improve security for my apps and when it suddenly stopped working. It's only on twitter that I found out that it has been stopped for people who are not US nationals, by the US government. Here's how I'm seeing this:

1. Fable comes with security safeguards to prevent misuse, and can be used to plug security loopholes. I've seen it identify and plug security issues in my apps. The US government refusing to let non-US nationals protect themselves is deeply problematic in an interconnected internet world, especially when these issues will impact US customers of foreign apps and websites. It doesn't make sense. This hurts everyone by making all systems vulnerable.

2. Yesterday Anthropic announced a partnership with TCS in India as a commercial deal. Today Fable is banned for Indians. During the AI summit they had announced a partnership with Infosys. The fact is that these are just commercial deals but the Indian companies have no strategic leverage here. Both companies run critical systems in India: Infosys runs finnacle. TCS runs passport sewa etc, all with critical personal data at stake. They had zero access to Project Glasswing when it launched to secure systems with Mythos, while some US companies got access. This proves that for Anthropic, Indian partnerships are just about the money. To call such partnerships strategic is hogwash. I think Anthropics leadership and policy teams in India have much to answer for. I would request @nishikant_dubey to take up this bipartisan issue up in the standing committee on IT since MEITY is quite toothless.

3. We've seen this story play out before: in President Trump's last term, the US govt momentarily stopped Android security updates for China. Today China has its own Huawei OS. Where is IndusOS? We need to adopt open source tech because geopolitics is increasingly win-lose, and the win-win era is behind us. It's sad but this is where we are today. We need to invest in research, and building a culture that supports research. The Atal Tinkering Labs are a great starting point and we need to build on this, at a university level. Allow universities to monetize research and professors and students to start companies with university support. Let professors consult. Build a marketplace that rewards innovation and expertise.

4. CERT-IN, RBI and other agencies holding meetings regarding mythos was farcical. Its proof that our cybersecurity agencies are out of their depth, and doing a checkbox exercise to show the PM that they're doing something when they can't, because this is about Zero Day vulnerabilities, not predictable cybersecurity issues. We need a cybersecurity strategy overhaul. Basically fire bureaucratic-mindset people doing farcical compliance at CERT-IN and get technocrats with actual cybersecurity understanding. Hire for competence, not loyalty. Hire for competence not badges (definitely not the clueless famous IIT professor we know who does committe hopping).

5. Time to start ignoring Nandan Nilekani's ignorant comments on what India should do in AI. We need to focus on hardware, start working on small language models and get people who know AI to drive policy. As history has shown us, Vishal Sikka was right, Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani were not. We have a long way to go. The AI Summit was great for increasing diffusion, and we need more of that, but not just that. The IndiaAI mission needs to speed up and become a mission critical project.

Cc @narendramodi. Hire better people please. Choose open source. Build a long term strategy.

India is the second-largest market globally for both ChatGPT and Anthropic. If they can turn off the access at the press of a button like this, we are absolutely at the mercy of a foreign govt. Geopolitics is getting uglier. Globalisation in the current form is dead. This is a huge wakeup call for India.

3/10 Air India 171 crash: For months suicide theories were floating around. Till it came to light, new evidence that Capt Sumeet fought till the very end.

To save the aircraft. And the lives on board.

He died with his hands still on the controls – doing exactly what a captain is trained to do in a dual‑engine emergency: take over and try to save the aircraft.

In this story with @themojostory @BDUTT witness Romin Vahora says he saw Capt Sumeet's body at BJ Medical College in a seated position, hands gripping the control column/yoke -- which he described as a car "steering handle."

FIP has now asked govt to take his witness testimont into account.

9/11 Meanwhile there are selective media leaks to @WSJ and @Reuters

Capt Sumeet is WSJ's go-to. And Reuters wants to die on the hill of mechanical fuel switch failure.

I'm not sure if it's lazy journalism/blind spots/bias from big media like WSJ, Bloomberg and Reuters - where they are not asking -- how can Capt Sumeet/mechanical failure of fuel switches cause a "loud boom in the back" that the solo survivor heard? How can the forward EAFR, which faced the full brunt of impact and the fire from 54,200 kg of fuel ablaze, yield 49 hours of data, while the aft EAFR found on the rooftop of building near a largely intact tail section had its housing, connectors burnt and yielded nothing? How can the ELT, built to withstand high G force and high temperatures, be deactivated by the Captain or a mechanical fuel switch issue?
