Hey @Microsoft , I will give you an idea to do layoffs.
1. Open youtube... Search "Day in life of a Microsoft Engineer".
2. You will get list of people who only eat but do not work in office.
3. Layoff them

India has the among the lowest data prices in the world. It is so good that I don't even bother to connect to local Wifi when I travel in India and just tether my phone to work on my computer. Indians routinely have dual SIM phones with large data plans because they are so affordable. Ambani's launch of Jio is directly responsible for the low data prices Indians enjoy.
India has among the lowest drug prices in the world (and going lower still). People who visit India buy medicines to take home quite regularly now.
India has among the lowest cost payment systems in the world in UPI.
On the other hand, Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in the US market, keeping EV prices higher in America than elsewhere.
Prime Minister Modi has worked hard to create a competitive economy where the benefits flow to the average Indian. His government does not tolerate monopolies. He has also actively promoted and encouraged a massive surge in startups and that is the best signal of a highly competitive economy.
Directly due to Modi government policy, Indian startups are making major advances in low cost rockets and that poses a threat to SpaceX the same say the Chinese EVs threaten Tesla.
These are the facts Elon.
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏

Imagine an Odisha shaped by more people like him quiet builders who solve real problems, create value, and lift the next generation.
X family, your helping hand matters.
Share this. Tag a student or startup who needs reliable electronics support.
Encourage him. Recommend him.
When we stand behind youngsters like Prakash, we show them the path to sustainable success.
We remind every young dreamer that hard skills , honest work can rewrite their story.
Let’s lift him. Let’s lift Odisha. Let’s lift every skilled hand that is still working in silence.
You can reach him directly in his WhatsApp number which is attached here in this post.

This is genuinely wild. 🤯
A Japanese AI lab just built a model that matches Claude Fable 5 performance.
It's called Sakana Fugu, and it was built in Tokyo by a co-author of the original Transformer paper.
The guy who helped invent the architecture every AI runs on just built something that sits on top of all of them.
But here's the twist. Fugu isn't one giant model. It's a coordinator. You send one API call, and it decides which frontier model handles which part of the problem, runs them together, and hands back a single answer better than any of them could produce alone.
SWE-Bench Pro: Fugu Ultra scores 73.7. Claude Opus 4.8 scores 69.2. GPT-5.5 scores 58.6.
And because the model pool is swappable, if any provider gets export-controlled overnight, Fugu just routes around it.
Introducing Sakana Fugu: A full multi-agent orchestration system accessible via a single model API.
Our ‘Fugu Ultra’ model matches the performance of Fable and Mythos, delivering frontier capability without the risk of export controls.
Try it: sakana.ai/fugu 🐡

Prof. Aswath Damodaran on AI bubble
I absolutely agree & disagree with him
He talks about Crash but won't tell that stocks in between will get 100X
Generation weath can be made in a bubble
Lakin Mohapatra retweeted
anthropic "mythos" marketing strategy:
opus 4.6 was great, but
> release 4.7, which gives nothing, and burns 10x more tokens
> release 4.8, basically 4.7 with fixed tokens, while 4.6 gets nerfed, so 4.8 wouldn't look bad next to it
> now release Mythos, basically pre-nerf 4.6, slightly better, but burns 5x more tokens
and everyone claps

THIS 18-YEAR-OLD DID NOT BLINK 🔥
RAJDEEP: CBSE says TCS quoted around ₹951 crore, Coempt Edutech around ₹384 crore. Lowest bidder wins, so rules were followed.
SARTHAK 🎯: My question is not whether CBSE followed the rules. My question is why CBSE changed the rules.
RAJDEEP: People say you are batting for the opposition.
SARTHAK 🔥: In a democracy, opposition parties are pressure groups. If someone supports me, I am thankful. If someone ignores me, I do not care.

India has sent 96 people to America who started billion dollar companies. No one else is even close.
There's only about 5 million Indians in America. Almost one in 50,000 of them is a unicorn founder!
What a holy, special, beautiful people.
I will always fight for them.

Vedant Srivastava - 17 yrs old
Took to social media and exposed discrepancies in CBSE's OSM marking system.
Nisarga Adhikary- 19 yrs old
Hacked CBSE website and informed them (and us) that it is vulnerable and can be hacked.
Sarthak Sidhant- 17 yrs old
Exposed how CBSE bent rules to award the OSM tender to COEMPT.
These 3 kids need to be lauded. They have given us a glimmer of hope. They have shown us, not all is lost.
We still have a future to salvage.

Indian scientists just made history.
Researchers from IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru just pulled off something impossible.
They've created the world's "first carbon-free ferrocene".
This means we can finally build the next generation of incredibly durable tech.
Let me explain.
See, ferrocene is this wild organometallic molecule - where an iron atom is perfectly sandwiched between two carbon rings.
But it’s insanely stable.
Which is why it is already used in rocket fuels, car gasoline additives, long-life batteries, and even cancer medicines.
And for the last 75 years, everyone thought it was impossible to build the same stable structure without using carbon.
But this team of Indian scientists proved everyone wrong.
They created the same perfect sandwich structure - by swapping iron for osmium and carbon rings for boron rings.
And what they got was the world's first carbon-free ferrocene - which is so much stronger than the carbon bonds.
By doing so - they've opened up a whole new era of chemistry. And we have no idea how many amazing things we might discover.
But to think all of this started in India is truly amazing.
Kudos to everyone on this team: Sundargopal Ghosh, Stutee Mohapatra, Suvam Saha, Urvashi Gupta, Deepak Patel - from IIT Madras, Gaurav Joshi and Eluvathingal D. Jemmis - from IISc Bengaluru.
Researchers from IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru have solved a chemistry puzzle that remained unanswered for over 70 years.
As reported in The Indian Express, the team led by Prof. Sundargopal Ghosh and Stutee Mohapatra from the Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras, along with Prof. Eluvathingal Jemmis from IISc Bengaluru, has synthesised a carbon-free molecule that mimics the iconic ‘sandwich’ structure of ferrocene.
Using osmium and boron-based rings instead of carbon, the breakthrough marks the first stable carbon-free version of the molecule — something scientists worldwide had long attempted to achieve.
Published in the prestigious journal Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), the discovery could open new pathways for designing advanced materials with unique chemical and structural properties.

A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M+ students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks.
He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down.
This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter.
This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed.
This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered:
- the master password leak
- the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround
- tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values
- changing any password without knowing the old one
- an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks
For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below).
If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.

You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.
I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.
At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.
Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.
I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.
I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.
