My X fam - please make this video reach @elonmusk - youtu.be/SfmGKEmGcqQ सीपियों में छिपे ज्ञान के मोती = Pearls of wisdom hidden in shells This video features a deep and insightful conversation between Javed Akhtar and Himanshu Bajpai at the Kitab Utsav event, where they discuss the nuances of literature, language, and life. Key highlights of their discussion include: The Universality of Dohe: Javed Akhtar explains that dohe (couplets) are universal because they capture the fundamental emotions and "rhythm" of human life—such as love, hatred, ambition, and failure—that remain constant regardless of societal or technological changes (0:00 - 4:00). Ghazal vs. Doha: The duo discusses the technical differences between these poetic forms. While a ghazal is described as an "assorted box of biscuits" held together by meter and radeef, a doha is a self-contained, complete unit of thought that doesn't require context from preceding or succeeding lines (4:14 - 6:37). The Power of Words: A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the importance of language. Akhtar reflects on Kabir's famous doha regarding speech, emphasizing that words can act as both medicine (aushadh) and a wound (ghav). He stresses that a harsh word can cause a lasting impact that cannot be undone, even with material success (6:51 - 16:04). Navigating Life's Dilemmas: They explore the practical wisdom in dohe for navigating moral dilemmas. Akhtar shares his perspective on the necessity of maintaining personal integrity while pragmatically managing relationships, noting that one cannot always be purely rigid (16:52 - 25:03). Sense of Humor: Akhtar highlights that a sense of humor is not meant for "smooth roads" but acts as a "shock absorber" during the difficult, bumpy phases of life (31:08 - 32:38). Language Purity: In response to a question about "pure" vs. "impure" language, Akhtar dismisses the obsession with linguistic purity, pointing out that language naturally evolves by borrowing words from various origins (Persian, Arabic, Portuguese, etc.) and that what matters is the quality of communication (35:59 - 39:55). Reflections on Time: The conversation concludes with a philosophical reflection on the nature of time, with Akhtar pondering whether we are truly moving or if time itself is static (47:16 - 49:45).

That crazy SOB did it! He did it!! 🫡

Today is a historic day. Lucky to be part of this generation. Kids - start preparing for trips to moon and beyond!!

Claude milestone unlocked!! Builders - know any workaround? Is anyone offering "honeypot as a service"?

Are there really no Indian Spy honeypots? Isn't that just sad?

I could use a reset to my Claude limits right about now!! Wish Claude was managed by @thsottiaux just for one day, today!!

I gave an Claude Duet one rule: if I have to do the legwork, what's the point? It (almost) kept that promise for a week. Then it asked me to run its fare script myself. Here is the full story of both weeks, the wins and the cracks.

youtube.com/watch?v=7aKewWHX… In the summer of 2003, two NASA rovers began their journeys to Mars at a time when the Red Planet and Earth were the nearest they had been to each other in 60,000 years. To capitalize on this alignment, the rovers had been built at breakneck speed by teams at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The mission came amid further pressures, from mounting international competition to increasing public scrutiny following the loss of the space shuttle Columbia and its crew of seven. NASA was in great need of a success. “Landing on Mars” is the story of Opportunity and Spirit surviving a massive solar flare during cruise, the now well-known “six minutes of terror,” and what came close to being a mission-ending software error for the first rover once it was on the ground.

🤖 Grok → Bot 🎭 Claude → Duet 🟢 OpenAI → Dot 🪞 Meta → Muse (sounds like metamucil. Doesn't it? Is the branding team at Meta trolling us?)

Claude keeps going. It's really good at looooooong running tasks.

Could @Starlink be the ultimate cheat code for strip mall businesses? 🛰️☕ Think about places like Bellagio Village mall in Temecula, CA. Massive, unobstructed rooftop space—perfect for satellite receivers. Local boba tea, coffee & bagel shops could easily offer blistering fast, reliable WiFi without dealing with traditional ISP headaches. Small business owners, would you make the switch? Whaddya think?
