the sound of the gion shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline
the proud do not endure, they are like a dream on a spring night; the mighty fall at last, they are as dust before the wind

Proactivity in Personal Assistants has been the non-linear trigger (for most people).
it solved a very visible "i don't know what to ask or outsource" (almost a cold start problem between you and your PA)
Part of it is how we grew up. Most of us never had a PA, so the muscle to outsource at this frequency was never formed.
On the other hand, not having the muscle also meant we never learnt any limits, so we can absolutely go wild with our imagination and first principles

Launching Junction: come speed-run the semiconductor tech tree this December in Bangalore.
We’re flying in students from all over India 🇮🇳 to a 2-week fabrication retreat at @_lagrangepoint to build equipment, design chips and engineer processes, with our friends at @hackerfabindia.
India still needs thousands of semicon engineers -- the ecosystem to produce them isn’t mature enough yet -- we're changing that.
Current applicants have built vacuum chambers to study plasma physics, RISC-V processors from scratch, scanning tunneling microscopes, et cetera
At junction you will:
1. Propose a project
2. Figure out a plan with the Junction team.
3. Iterate fast towards a working prototype, with help from the Junction team
4. Be mentored by top semiconductor hackers and specialists.
5. Demo to industry leaders, founders, investors, and your fellow craftspeople
Flights, accommodation and project expenses? All covered. Apply on the link below

[HIRING] The next decade is a chance to work on some of the hardest problems that once solved, create exponential economic value in society.
Our maximalist version of this is bringing autonomy to all forms of work bottlenecked by physical labour. We’re looking for high conviction, delusional, polymathic engineers who want to lead this work as part of our founding team.
We’re hiring for two roles:
- Founding Engineer, Robotic Systems
- Founding Engineer, Robot Learning
Location: HSR, Bengaluru, Karnataka (5 days, WFO)
Starting date: Immediate
Compensation: ₹25–65 LPA (cash + equity)
Experience: 0–6 years (We also take interns if they’re cracked enough)
More details in the form, apply here: binary.so/nJCcTPO
almost 5 years to the day that capped the most incredible semester of my life on campus (+oomfavourite pictures of myself)

10 years ago, @GhazalAlagh and @VarunAlagh were new parents who couldn’t find safe products for their baby in India. So they built them. A decade later, Honasa is one of India’s most remarkable consumer stories. What stands out is how often they got there first.
1️⃣ Asia’s first MADE SAFE-certified brand: toxin-free baby care backed by proof.
2️⃣ First to unlock the power of online brand building and distribution.
3️⃣ First in Indian beauty & personal care to hit ₹1,000 crore in annual revenue at record speed.
4️⃣ First to build a successful “house of brands” playbook and the only FMCG company in India to create two ₹1,000 crore brands in a decade.
5️⃣ First new-age D2C company to go public in India (Nov 2023), and profitable when it listed. From start to listing in 7 years, fastest Indian startup to do so.
And they’re still building. Congratulations to the team. Proud to have had a ring side view of the journey from early days. Here’s to the next 10.

question - what media experiences feel near-perfect to you? where you can tell the creators gave it real care & showed attention to detail?

as someone who's very into remixes / mashups / covers, the only original track that wins outright is maria takeuchi's plastic love
i haven't found a single alt version that compares; incredible
so glad a new set of folks are experiencing michael kiwanuka's music from slightly more refined contexts like lanterns vs. just slop like suits
