If you're travelling by car through Mollem, Goa, there is an automated "challan" for missing PUC that is issued even if you have a valid PUC.

They'll send a challan for 10K! The only way to resolve is to visit their RTO: https://t.co/v2O83fmXAH
Before 2pm on a working day.

They will reverse it but it is a painful exercise, I hope the Goa RTO authorities fix this, it's unnecessary.

Hit them where it hurts. If you raise a complaint to your telecom operator on spam call, the spammer gets 20 calls and 20 SMS limit. If you are on Airtel this takes less than 1 minute using the Airtel thanks app. Please share widely with a vengeance. A thousand retweets please

Felt this needs a boost as it has been an experience we faced after a lost phone + biometrics lock . The failure modes of Aadhar when OTP does not land are painful as there is a circular dependency to get a new SIM .. thanks @neilshroff

[Neil @neilshroff]

Sharing a painful "digital India" story from last month:

1. eSIM error, stopped working
2. Go to Physical store
3. Need Aadhaar OTP for new SIM
4. Need functional SIM to get OTP
5. 🔁🔁🔁
6. ????

....spent 30 days locked out of net banking, online cards txns, many apps, etc. 🚨

We're starting to roll out API support for Gemini 1.5 Pro for developers. We're excited to see what you build with the 1M token context window!

We'll be onboarding people to the API slowly at first, and then we'll ramp it up. In the meantime, developers can try out Gemini 1.5 Pro in the AI Studio UI right now:

For me, Google is the #1 AI company in the world and kickstarted the whole revolution with "Attention is all you need", BERT, T5 and many more.

I'm ecstatic to be able to collaborate with @sundarpichai @ThomasOrTK @JeffDean @fchollet and the whole Google org to democratize AI thanks to open-source AI and open science! Let's go!

Tech layoffs affect immigrants the most!

5–15% of the 100k+ layoffs are H-1B holders.

In 60 days (30-45 in practice), they must find a new job or be deported from the US.

Families who've been here 10+yrs are told "We don't need you anymore. Leave."

10+ tips to stay–

26 independent expert technologists just wrote an open letter to Congress ridiculing blockchain and exposing Web3 as a bogus marketing tool and high-tech swindle. Mark this day on your calendar as the beginning of the end of Web3 and the Big Crypto Cartel. https://t.co/0uXuDD3GmF

Everyone needs to be patching every JVM everywhere, but JVM restarts can be customer visible and high impact.

Our team cooked up a hotpatch for the log4j issue. No need to trade off security vs availability (at least, not for this issue.)

So a good chunk of my first week of October has been spent in fixing our recurring SaaS payments due to RBI mandate , some major vendors have no clue how to address it gracefully … I guess this is what’s meant by making it easier for startups !
