Being able to modify genomes and have labs send you that product at your convenience can enable a completely new economy. “I know a guy,” should be me reaching for my phone and giving instructions on how to make my life better. https://t.co/XvX0ZQv3o7

... extensive testing and reworking to actually bring the results it needs to. Here's hoping that process finishes quickly and we get AI solutions which can actually listen.

... than getting an actual doctor to verify things. In fact, sometimes it's better to have the AI than a doctor: one minimises chances of human error and brings in a sense of reproducibility and rigour. On the other hand, you have AI such as cough-sound AI which still requires...

What do they still need to deal with? Financial sustainability and that it goes against their cultural identities of being family-first. Is it a good idea for India? Complicated to answer but mostly it depends. Can we make it inclusive and disincentivise rent seeking?

New blogpost on long term care insurance! Tunrs out societies with rapidly ageing populations need laws to make things for woth the elderly. I take a look at what happens in East Asia. https://t.co/L4b431Fjac

Turns out there's mandated long term care insurance in these places. Having LTCI is not settled science: there's lots to learn and many problems to deal with, but countries which have it seem to have a happier, healthier population.

@BalvinderS_92 This is truly a travesty. It is easily one of the best books written on Indian and Bihari politics. @Ram_Guha, this book definitely deserves to get its due. What’s your take?

@ThisIsSoliman There’s a bunch of lovely places in and around Connaught Place and South Delhi. If you’re up for it, let me know I would be happy to take you around to a few. :)

@ThisIsSoliman I loved Yoshimura-ya in Yokohama for its iekei ramen. However, do check if it matches your dietary preferences.

Here are my thoughts:

Quite a musk of desperation around Elon https://t.co/ycNU7Ns5yC

@ThisIsSoliman I get the feeling this was said about Azerbaijan vs Armenia as well. But this war definitely demonstrates their value even more.

[Savyasachee Jha @savyajha]

@joelpalpath I think the original thought was “we can live with that outcome as long as more PhD students choose to stay home.”

[Savyasachee Jha @savyajha]

This is emblematic of the Indian FP establishment’s old Russia bias. That anyone can excuse or justify war crimes in the name of realpolitik is not just reprehensible, it is beyond tragic. https://t.co/GiwW8l2Jlv
