Some more facts + stats:
Indian Americans are by and large the most liberal Asian American ethnic group
As a whole, only about 28% of Indian Americans are Trump-supporting
~20% of Indian Americans are Christian: ~45% of Indian Christians are Trump-supporters
last weekend, I took part in a “techno-optimist” hackathon but that term just didn’t sit right with me. while I am optimistic about the power of tech, I’m also wary of its harms. reading the term “grounded technology possibilist” in

People from the majority world should continue to use English words that come naturally to us. I don't shy away from throwing in a few Indianisms in my writing – it's what gives my voice its flavour! It's our distinctive voices that will keep us from sounding like AI.
My idolo is not folding I respect that. But delve is simple for a lot of people who use it. It doesn't seem simple to Americans because your syntax tends to be even more basic than most, borderline informal. But to large swathes of the world, delve is simple.

visas remain a ‘high priority’ but the US consulate in New Delhi is offering absolutely no F1 visa appointments, not even emergency ones! Please open new student visa appointments urgently.
maybe this generation knows that their health and well-being is more important than an extremely high-stress job that’s not doing anything groundbreaking. doctors and even entrepreneurs working long hours is understandable, but what are consultants really doing?
My nephew got hired by one of the Big 4 consulting firms right after college (this was 2 years back). The entire family was ecstatic and so was he at the time. Yesterday he came over and broke the news that's he's quitting. Apparently, he's 'burn out' and want to take a break
exactly three months ago today my whole world turned upside down when my dad passed away from a sudden cardiac arrest.
I have no profound words to share, but hold your loved ones close and tell them you love them more often (thankfully I did) and please get cpr/aed training 🙏🏼

Going to go ahead and stick my neck out and say that kids are definitely not designed to sit indoors all day at desks, much less by themselves in front of computers.
Proud of my niece Ananya

I’ve been grappling w this - is there a way to keep up with media without feeling like you’re wasting your time? I feel more accomplished spending my time and energy on generative hobbies rather than consumptive ones.
but there has to be a balance — creation needs inspiration.

if google actually launched a “most scenic route” feature, i bet it would somehow end up as a case study on the “unintended” harms of design in like every humanistic design class

project tiger ftw! i remember doing a research project on india's tiger conservation efforts back in middle school and its honestly such an amazing success story so far
seeing the number of replies to this tweet asking how you treat this or saying there's no cure is making me double down on my pmdd research + support building work
and if anyone's going through it/suspects they are and is willing to just talk about their experience, pls DM me!
Ladies if you’re feeling suicidal right before your period please understand this isn’t an inevitability of being a woman, this is PMDD which can be treated, you don’t need to live like this

“Don’t forget to send me that photo!” How many times have you said that? And, how often have you actually gotten the photo? Maybe 20% of the time? The reality is photo sharing is broken.

hey young men in tech

stop building, running, and promoting hacker houses
they are unsafe for women, even w “precautions”, bc of the gender imbalance in tech
every house out there ends up 5-20% women which is just too low for a living situation

True, Princeton's Journalism faculty for instance, whether in residence or visiting, consists of award-winning practicing journalists –– most of whom do not have a PhD. This varies by department, but journalism is a field where experience is much more important than a PhD.

i felt the same way working w LLMs for tasks like summarization, analysis, comparison, etc. *reliability* of the output is one of the biggest problems to solve for
we removed the AI-powered search from our docs because it was unreliable and made up fake features
still waiting for the production-grade llm that can reliably produce data without hallucinations
long way to go

An OCI card is fundamentally different from real citizenship. If you read the screenshot you’ve posted, you’ll see it clearly says that an ‘overseas citizen’ cannot vote in India or contest for constitutional posts.
this might be a silly question but how do people outside of college do diy projects that involve hardware or digital fabrication tools? like is the only way to buy your own equipment and machines 😳
are there non-university maker spaces open to the public?
“A lot of people are really, really uncomfortable around grief and loss. So what they do is, instead of doing something, they just do nothing, and they don't say anything. And that's the worst.”
even worse when they react in a way where you have to comfort them instead
My husband died a week after we'd thrown a big birthday bash for our toddler. After the funeral, none of our huge friend group called, sent over meals, stopped by, or invited us over (ever). I don't think people realize how common this is until it

I don't think so, there doesn't seem to be any relative motion between the source and the observer so the Doppler effect doesn't apply. The frequency should remain the same.

Hey! Do things that you really want to in *your own time* and please, I beg you, don't measure yourself against others––whether that's me or anyone else! (I'm guilty of doing this as well––still working on letting the habit go)
