@grok @grok and how would this affect @Germany’s economy?

[Vikrant Srivastava @vsriv90]

Pro nuclear energy Germany: @Grok, imagine a world in which Germany was pro nuclear energy despite Fukushima, and how it would have impacted the Russia Ukraine war. Would the war have happened? How would it have gone? Give a TLDR and then the scenario/reasoning.

@patrickc This post has gone so viral that if it had a hashtag like #PointlessGermanBureaucracy it would be trending all over the world.

I want to say that then the politicians will take note of it and work to change the systems, but I am not so naive as to believe that politicians work.

6,000 years of world history on a single timeline. Zoom in. You could spend 30 minutes exploring this.

@tunguz This must be a Siemens ENERGY employee. The company was split a few years ago. I work there, and can confirm most of it 🙂

When I’m on time: “Must be because of my exceptional planning skills”

When I’m late: “Things often lead to other things, there’s so much we can’t control”

#Beastgames2 final 4 flashback recap:

Final 3 guys: I’m doing this for my family, for my kids, for their future! They deserve everything and I need to provide for them!

Final girl: I’m strong, I’m capable, my best is good enough, I deserve to be happy!

😂😋🫣

@elonmusk Opinion on Finite Element Method (FEM)? Haven’t seen your opinion anywhere in all your interviews…How and how extensively do Tesla/SpaceX use them, which software, how often do you verify the results against real tests etc…

@MrBeast @MrBeast, I really enjoyed the show, both seasons. But if you want STRONG vs SMART, have the contestants do a long multiplication or play chess or name counties and capitals every once in a while! Talking & working together is mostly not a strong suit of the exceptionally smart!

[Vikrant Srivastava @vsriv90]

@elonmusk To be fair, Gemini and DeepSeek also said the same thing as Grok, but sadly not ChatGPT

This is going to stick with me forever

@perplexity_ai I had a 1 year Perplexity Pro subscription. I even added my card to the account because I was asked to verify. And now, 11 months remaining in the subscription, it got removed from Pro, and when I try to click “restore” subscription, it says “something went wrong”.

@Being_Anshul Really nice video!

My wife thinks the most accurate description of our toddler that I ever came up with is “this bundle of dumba*sness”, and I can’t help but feel proud of both myself and somehow of my toddler 🤷🏻‍♂️🫣

The trust value of FEA stress results? Determined by the elements around it.

Even in simulations, peer pressure is real! 😂 #FEA #FiniteElement

[Vikrant Srivastava @vsriv90]

The difference between a good #FEA or #Seismic #engineer and a bad one, is how much they trust their #simulation results without having test results to calibrate the simulation.

The higher the confidence, the worse the engineer 🫣

I truly believe, from the bottom of my heart, that there shall come a day, when I lift a charging cable, and it is indeed the cable that I wanted to lift 🫣

This graph shows that I still have 95% of my parenting time still remaining. Ah well, who wants sleep when you can look at graphs while your toddler is sleeping? #PapaLife

[Vikrant Srivastava @vsriv90]

As a foreigner in Germany, the toughest daily struggle at the daycare while waiting for your kid to come out, is to figure out if you should talk to the other parents or should continue looking at your smartphone and act as if you don’t speak the language 🤣 #PapaLife

[Vikrant Srivastava @vsriv90]

Questions to all working parents: what’s the ideal duration of a power nap with and without your toddler poking you in the eye? 🤔 #Papalife
