It's still hard to believe the government is getting away with such a brazenly exploitative policy, where a select few get all the upsides while consumers absorb all the downsides.
Strict rules! You cannot put E85/E100 in an E20 engine - it will cause material degradation and void warranties!
So glad they brought in an entire legal amendment to protect the engine health of all 9 (Yes - NINE) flex-fuel vehicles sold in India.
Meanwhile, 30 crore e10 compatible vehicle owners begging for compatible E10 fuel:
"Shut up, take the forced E20, absorb the drop in mileage, and replace your own corroded fuel lines."
Policy-making at its finest 🤡

Just realized grok's loading animation is letter G being animated in a dot matrix. Simple ideas are so cool.
After Jailer 2, I realised Nelson is a level above Loki. He packages “cameoception” as a movie better.
I have got this feeling that Tame Impala might not be my top artist on Spotify this year. Probably will get kicked out of this cult.
I was not prepared for the ending of this thread.
It's not even Friday evening and my downstairs neighbour has already started to party. The music is so damn good that I wanna join now.

New rule for reporting software/services exports to RBI. Involves more filings, banking coordination etc. Seems targeted at freelancers, consultants, 1-3 member IT/dev shops, SMEs... since the mid/large cos are already doing this for years.
Will add more friction to the business cycle by slowing down export transactions, payments, cash flows.
IMHO this looks motivated by the familiar Indian bureaucratic playbook - to catch the errant / dishonest 5%, punish the rest 95% as well.
For every step forward, we take two steps backwards!
Clearly reverse EODB at play!

🚨 New RBI rule for anyone invoicing clients outside India, effective 1 October 2026.
Service and software exporters (freelancers, IT firms, consultants, tutors) now need to file an Export Declaration Form (EDF).

I still can't wrap my head around these valuation numbers. And we are just starting in the AI era.
It’s eyeing a $2 trillion valuation, despite disclosing mounting losses, investment costs, and safety concerns. theverge.com/ai-artificial-i…
Thank God they are addressing the writing style of Opus because I was starting to suspect I was losing my comprehension skills.
I feel like all the social platforms have collectively decided that I should like cats now. And it’s working, or maybe I’m infected with toxoplasma :(
There’s something about human writing that makes it so easy to read. Had Claude written this then I would have barely made sense of this.
Im not convinced people actually know what the P=NP problem is.
Lets break it down.
Before the 1960s, computers were getting faster every year, so engineers just assumed that if a problem was too hard for a computer to solve then, all had to do was just wait a few years for a faster computer, boom, problemo solved.
But then, they ran into a wall with a specific group of problems. No matter how powerful the computers got, they would freeze up, overheat, or take billions of years to solve them.
So these were super hard theoretical physics or black hole topography, right? Nope, they were everyday things like designing a high school schedule where a teacher is never in two places at the same time, or like, draw a trace on a circuit board that's as short as possible without overlapping other traces.
Heres the kicker, once the problem was solved, the computer could VERY quickly go back over and be like "Yup, no scheduling conflicts!". Once the problem was solved, verifying the solution was easy. It would be like you walking up to a lock someone left on a door and trying to figure out the code, and then someone else coming up behind you "Hey, the code is 26-42-36-10. Pop in the code and boom! Problem solved, solution verified.
Computer scientists grouped all of these problems into a category called "NP". Aww now if makes sense. And you know what ALLLLLLL of these problems have in common? They were exponential. Meaning if you only had 5 classes, your computer could solve thay in a MILISECOND. But if your schedule had like 100 classes, the possible combinations went insane like, more atoms than in the known universe numbers.
So by putting these problems into this "NP category", scientists were basically telling software developers "Stop wasting billions of dollars on trying to get your computers to solve these problems" and do something heuristic like, draw a line first, then verify it sux and iterate on it quickly until its good enough and move on.
So then they realized something terrifying. If you could figure out a trick to solving ANY of these problems, you could solve ALL of them, no matter what it was as long as it was an NP problem.
Ok so whats the big deal then!?! What do people mean why they say "If AI solves P=NP, thats the end game!". They are essentially saying that if its easy to verify a solution to a problem that was solved, then there must be a hidden trick to solve it as easily from scratch and if you could find that trick, all the hard problems could be solved instantly. Some of this is good like medicine or cosmology, some of it bad like cryptography which rides on assumptions that these problems are extremely difficult to solve from scratch.
Thats the entire breakdown on the P=NP or P≠NP debate you see floating around X these days.
Thanks for reading.
