unpopular opinion: 16GB is plenty if software engineers actually cared about memory efficiency. chrome eating 4GB for 12 tabs is not a hardware problem its a software disgrace. docker consuming 2GB idle is not a feature its laziness. we live in an era where people optimize every single token to save $0.001 on API costs but happily ship electron apps that eat 500MB to display a todo list. if the industry treated RAM the way we treat inference compute - obsessively measuring every byte - 16GB would feel luxurious. the hardware isnt the problem, the software is @adxtyahq

Indian Scientists Develop LPG Alternative Fuel 🇮🇳

Scientists at CSIR–National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune have developed Dimethyl Ether (DME) gas as a potential alternative to LPG.

> Uses a specially developed catalyst technology
> Pilot project already producing ~250 kg of DME per day
> Fuel has similar properties to LPG
> Can work with existing LPG cylinders and infrastructure

👉 Large-scale adoption could reduce India’s dependence on imported LPG and strengthen energy security.

India is pulling off the impossible.

Military data-sharing agreement with the US. Buying sanctioned Russian oil.

Sheltering Iranian warships in its ports.

And now reportedly the only nation Iran is letting through the Strait of Hormuz.

While the world scrambles to pay premium prices for oil, India is loading up at whatever price it can negotiate.

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning

My wife told me not to come

I came anyway

She said "please just listen and nod"

I said "I always listen"

She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge"

That's how listening works

Nice classroom

Small chairs

I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus

My knees touched my chest

The teacher introduced herself

Shared her identified pronouns

I shared my identified adjectives

Smart and handsome

My wife closed her eyes

The teacher had a folder

Color-coded tabs

I respected the organization

She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class"

My wife smiled

I waited

That sentence is never the whole report

It's the executive summary before the risk section

She said "however"

There it is

She said he "asks a lot of questions"

I said "good"

She said "during quiet time"

I said "when is quiet time?"

She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence"

I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?"

My wife put her hand on my arm

I continued

The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own"

I said "that's an accurate observation"

My wife squeezed harder

The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities"

I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade."

The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard

I said "was he right?"

She paused

She said "that's not the point"

I said "it's a little bit the point"

My wife stood up

Sat back down

Compromise

The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet

Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms"

All subjective

Not a number on the page

I asked how these are graded

She said "based on observation"

I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?"

She said "it's professional judgment"

I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them."

She looked at my wife

My wife said "I'm sorry about him"

I said "I'm sitting right here"

My wife said "I know"

The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate"

I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now."

Nobody spoke

The teacher closed her folder

She said "I think we've covered everything"

I said "one more thing"

She braced herself

I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has."

The teacher looked at me differently

My wife looked at me differently

I said "that's all"

We left

In the car my wife was quiet

Then she said "he's turning into you"

I said "is that a good thing?"

She didn't answer

From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?"

I looked at my wife

She looked out the window

I said "yes. It is."

He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right"

I didn't say anything

Neither did my wife

Small chairs

Color-coded tabs

No follow-up items

But the kid's going to be fine

@VishnuNDTV @kaushkrahul No, you are seeing it now. India has always been against terrorism. Now under our PM, Its also pragmatic enough to use diplomacy for its advantage- strategic as well as economic

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

One detail from this Iran war should make every serious state sit up: credible reporting says Israeli leaders were shown an image of Khamenei’s body after it was recovered by Mossad agents - and that Israel had visibility on his fate faster than Iran could even confirm the death of it's supreme leader and shape the narrative. That’s not “tech”. That’s HUMINT + penetration.

Satellites don’t tell you who is in which room at what time. Signals don’t always survive encryption and discipline. What wins you wars and prevents surprises is human access so-urces, moles, defectors, recruited assets - the messy, thankless work of being inside the enemy’s bloodstream.

Israel has no luxury of being lazy at intelligence. It sits in a hostile neighbourhood with actors who openly want it erased. So it builds networks that aren’t “near the border.” They’re near the decision-makers. That’s what survival looks like when geography is unforgiving.

Now bring that lens to India. When you live next to Pakistan’s terror ecosystem and a Bangladesh theatre that keeps throwing up radical modules, you don’t get to be sentimental about “soft power” as a substitute for hard intelligence. You need early warning, deep penetration, counter-infiltration, and ruthless disruption - before the plot becomes a headline.

And this is exactly where the armchair moralists fail India. They love questioning operations after the fact. They hate the boring investments before the fact: intel budgets, source protection, language capability, field tradecraft, inter-agency fusion, and the political spine to back covert work without leaking it for TRPs.

Pop culture and superhit movies like Dhurandhar tells the story really well but makes it look stylish - one hero, one mission, one punchline. Real HUMINT though is the opposite: years of patience, ugly risks, zero credit, and often no medal because the best outcome is “nothing happened.”

This is not about chest-thumping. This is about statecraft. The world is moving into an age where wars are decided by who sees first, knows first, and shapes first. Israel gets that. India must get that - permanently. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and our intelligence apparatus, NEW INDIA definitely gets it.

Because 'terrorist harbouring neighbours' don’t send calendar invites before they strike. They send handlers, money, propaganda, and sleepers. The only answer is being inside that machinery early enough to break it.

If you want deterrence, stop thinking intelligence is an accessory. It’s the foundation.
