Rahul Gandhi is protesting at Akashvani Bhavan and has ordered lunch from Khan Chacha in the middle of the afternoon. The food package has a red mark on it, which is used as a non vegetarian sign. Even the roll packaging has the FSSAI’s red mark for non vegetarian food. So,

Had the distinct displeasure of applying for a job that uses @Oracle Taleo platform. for a company that has pretty much its survival on GenAI, the UX of Taleo is still in the late 90s. Why does this even exist?

No really good people exist. They just don’t want to work another founder with measly funding providing peanuts for salaries to work on an idea that has been done to death a thousand times. mediocre founders attract mediocre talent. also not every business and every role needs a math olympian. a good leader knows how to extract the best from what they have. but if you still want top tier talent you know what to do.

@asinine2u @Divyetweets your critique which i may or may not agree with, whats your problem with air conditioning?

The internet when they hear Israel was involved: “FALSE FLAG.” Never mind the passengers, crew, investigators, UAE, Saudi Arabia, or British pilots involved. Apparently the second Israel enters the story, the conspiracy theory becomes more believable than the actual event.

A modern commercial airline doesn’t plummet or free fall. The tech in the jet would not allow a pilot to manually do anything that would compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. So if you are imagining a 6g nose dive, that isn’t happening. There still would have been a rapid descent but nothing too dramatic. @grok can you fact check me

@ww3chronicler @GenXGirl1994 and how many indians do you know? smit is not an uncommon name in Gujarat. as for the last name, just do a search on facebook or linkedin. if you have any fucking brains clearing dumbass misconceptions isnt all that hard

Tech’s current obsession with making every AI feature a chat interface is making us forget basic UX principles. Take @Spotify new "AI Playlist" feature. It’s highly useful and long overdue, but it relies entirely on a single text prompt. Why force the user to articulate every nuance of their mood in a single string of text when hybrid UI exists? If I type: "Build me a classic rock playlist from the 70s," an LLM can easily generate a diverse list. But a great product experience shouldn't stop at the text box. Why not take that initial prompt and instantly offer a few structured, optional modifiers? "Are we leaning more Hard Rock, Prog, or Southern?" "Any specific bands you absolutely want included?" A slider for "Mainstream Hits" vs. "Deep Cuts." We don't need a 100 question onboarding survey, but most users will happily click through 3 to 5 highly contextual, pointed questions if it guarantees a better output. Instead, we are asking users to become "prompt engineers" just to listen to some Led Zeppelin. LLMs are incredible reasoning engines, but they shouldn't be an excuse to abandon good UI design. The future of AI products isn't just a blinking cursor, it's using the LLM to dynamically generate the right dials, sliders, and buttons for the user to play with. Stop shipping bare text boxes when a hybrid interface solves the user's problem faster.

The trained pilots were from the same airline. Thats pretty common practice. additional pilots being on board 1. as precautionary pilots in case of delays and detours because pilot flight hours are regulated (happening currently because of the war) 2. flowing pilots back to home 3. flowing pilots to a different airport for upcoming flights (repositioning)

I booked a Pronto service for the first time, and what the lady who came to help us with cleaning told us about her working conditions was honestly quite disturbing. She reports at 6:30 AM and works until around 7 PM. That's roughly 12.5 hours a day, and she gets around ₹700 a day, which comes to barely ₹60 an hour. There is no fixed lunch break. The maximum break they get is around 20 minutes, and she told us that sometimes this break can be as late as 5 PM. No fixed timings. There are apparently no proper washroom facilities or place to rest between bookings. Some workers end up sitting in public parks and are driven away by the police. And not everyone gets a scooty. Those who don't have one have to walk from one booking to another, sometimes 20–40 minutes. She also told us that they were initially told they would get one day off as menstrual leave during periods. But when she actually asked for a day off, she was told to just take a 30-minute break and come back. She told them that it takes more than 30 minutes to get back home. She asked if she could take the entire day off and was told that ₹700 would be deducted for that day. Apparently, if they take leave for more than two days, their daily rate itself can be reduced for the subsequent days. The lady who came to our home is planning to work only until Diwali. She said that cleaning work picks up around this time, and she wants to leave the platform as soon as she can. This is the side of India's “convenience economy”. For us, it's just a booking on an app for a dirt-cheap price. Someone comes home, gets the work done, and leaves. But behind that convenience is someone working 12+ hours a day, travelling between bookings, with barely any break and very little control over their own time. Almost felt inhumane. Hearing all of this made me feel quite bad. Startups creating employment shouldn't become a justification for poor working conditions.

First launch video I've seen where the CEO says "oh shit" in the first five seconds. Love it. The best part is the taco order. The guy on the phone says "no entiendo" and Fo just switches to Spanish, tells him about the nut allergy, and finishes the order. Didn't miss a beat. Then two plumbers hang up because they can tell it's an AI. So Fo gets a real person to make the call instead. Plumber booked for tomorrow. Finally an agent company admitting AI can't do everything yet. Some shit still needs a human. wajo.ai

@RuntimeBRT @strider_robots why does the tension in the rope momentarily drops while the robot is pulling?

@cipgerx pray tell me how a $2000 device is a replacement for a $50 device?

@aakash_rewari @prerak_011 Thats a bad argument. 1. it means the govt needs to do better on parks and libraries 2. if the govt can't maintain it and we are supposed to pay, give it to the private sector

Help needed. As a proud Indian, can you advise me on India’s position? Is China a friend or enemy? Is the boycott of Chinese goods still on? Can I buy Chinese goods? Who Is India’s friend - America or China? Did Chinese attack Galwan valley? Or No? I ask this because while we have been asked to boycott Chinese goods while trade deficit with China more than doubled from USD 52 Billion in 2015 to USD 112 billion in 2025. Your advise would help me be patriotic and behave a true Indian.

@AyushiiDoshiii i dunno why you thought an iphone was an “investment” in the first place. apple is not responsible for delusions.

Does AI tend to use the word epistemic a lot?

@LChenlz really? how does that animation materially affect my use or what i get out of the phone? and btw i use an iphone and i really like it. but we are hyping animations now?

These are the kind of brilliant ideas I and friends tend to get after a few shots of scotch. I just don’t tend to broadcast them on social media. so whats stopping? let’s see 1. expertise and know how. if money was all it took, elon would have released an x phone by now 2. appstore. building an appstore and a vibrant app ecosystem is an impossible task. just ask amazon and its misadventures with fire phone and fire tablets (i used to work for that division at amazon) 3. supplier ecosystem 4. brand recognition. i daresay motabhai and his kids dont quite have the aura of Steve jobs or even tim cook 5. the entire massive backend required to build a phone and ensure timely updates 6. an OS. maybe you want them to use andriod which would make them yet another android phone maker if all you want is a foldable phone at a cheap price, i am sure one of the chinese brands will come up with one in short order.

What’s stopping mukesh ambani from building an indian iphone? Apple is charging indians ₹1.65L for the iphone 18 pro and nearly ₹3L for its first foldable, while india is becoming a major manufacturing base for apple. - Ambani has the money. - Jio has the ecosystem. -
