I build things. Actuators , code, circuits, cloud, CAD - with AI doing the boring parts. If it can be prototyped, I’ve broken it twice and shipped it anyway.

SIAM had made some strong observations and recommendations in the original NITI aayog roadmap for biofuels. The govt squarely ignored all (including the safety concerns), for reasons best known to the ministers. Some of these were:
- Start dispensing e20 from 2028 with e10 available simultaneously.
- Using e20 in e10 compatible vehicles is a safety risk.
Govt is playing with the lives of its citizens to benefit distilleries.

Read this explosive report by @shivanibazaz ! Shivani has accessed the letter where #SIAM has warned the #government about rising vehicle part failures linked to chloride and moisture contamination in E20 fuel.
The Centre has now directed #OilMarketing companies to strengthen fuel quality checks at #petrol pumps.

Never thought my 10-year-old Acer Predator Helios 300 would appreciate this much in value.
Four years ago, I upgraded it with a 1TB SSD for around ₹10,000. The same SSD now costs ₹30,000.
Sometimes the best upgrades are the ones you make on hardware that’s already built to last. 💻
As more and more people realise that the Macs are getting out of budget, they will be forced to make use of existing hardware and get more out of it. SLMs still win in the long term.
What will local LLM lords post now? A MacBook M5 Pro running a local LLM with VS Code was the epitome of a demonstration showing they can code in the air? 😭
My child, detach from this maya of GLM 5.2 versus Claude Opus 4.8 versus Qwen! Do not chase the fleeting sensations of new models, for I too wandered lost in this illusion for one full year, switching like a monkey jumping branches.
Unless your soul is destined for some very special creation, why juggle so many LLMs? And investing ten thousand dollars in hardware to run local models... for what, baba? Will you meditate with it every single day of the year? Does it truly need to hum 24 by 7, 365 days like eternal karma? Is this not mere impulsive desire?
Ahh, simplify! OpenRouter is enough, seek peace in the cloud, my disciple. Namaste.
I've come a long way ❤️
Left (My beginnings):A second-hand 2012 PC from a dear friend (I paid him years later while working at a cyber cafe), a borrowed monitor from a relative whose computer institute shut down, and keyboard/mouse from the local cyber cafe owner.
That’s where I learned programming. A borrowed 8051 dev kit, a camera, and a phone (from the same mentor) to learn embedded systems and image processing.
Right (Today):My current setup - a decent laptop, 3D printer, and boxes full of electronics & IoT components I’ve collected and bought over the years.
Never stop building. ✨
Google just turned Markdown files with YAML frontmatter into an official format (OKF). It’s basically what many of us have been doing in Obsidian for years - now formalized for AI agents.
A nice bridge between Tiago Forte’s Building a Second Brain and the new agentic tools that need structured, readable knowledge. Simple, portable, and refreshingly un-complicated.
Worth a read if you’re into PKM or building agents that actually understand your stuff.

Despite the massive marketing and tech hype, AI agents are still just advanced retrievers to me.
They’re decent at connecting dots and getting things done, but truly creative, original thinking? Still severely limited - and often feels biased or controlled.

It actually goes up to age of 25, as long as the child is in school, a trainee position or goes to university. And if you are coming from an EU Member state to work in Germany, that money is going to your home country where your children live. So if a Pole comes to Germany to work here for a German company and is based in Germany, he is a tax payer in Germany and contributes to the social system, then the money is being paid to his kids in Poland.
