This is an incredible accomplishment by India. Absolutely world-changing.

I don't think people realise how big a deal this is. If you have cancer, or somebody you know has cancer, there is a company in Hyderabad that wants to build a personalised cancer vaccine for you. Try approaching any big pharma company and asking for a personal vaccine. If they even reply to your email, this is the response you'll get: we don't do that here. PopVax, on the other hand, takes your tumour sequencing data (or a sequence you've designed), designs candidate neoantigen vaccine sequences with their AI pipeline, produces the mRNA, encapsulates it in their LNP formulation, fills vials, and runs QC, all in 8 to 10 weeks. They’re publicly committing to capacity for 100+ of these over the next 12 months and asking people to email them their cancer type/stage and sequencing details. What a time to be alive.

Even the Google cafes don't have YouTube premium. Gotta listen to ads for Prop 40.

According to World Bank's latest report, India's extreme poverty has fallen from 27.6% to just under 2.6%. And for Indians living under Rs. 400 a day (lower middle income), it has come down from 57.7% of the population to 16.1%. Remarkable achievement by India given the rupee depreciated and the inflationary pressure of a fast growing economy.

Every man made product was someone’s idea first. Why not you? Why can’t you be the person to come up with the next great product or service. And if it fails. So what. You only have to be right one time

Half a billion Indians moved above the lower-middle poverty line. according to world bank, India’s extreme poverty down more than 10x!

Gemini carbon seems to be much better at explaining code that Opus wrote.

Highly recommend the decaf espresso at Sightglass. Their hunky dory blend is delicious.

This is such biased, bullshit reporting. Seems that these journalists only see what they want to see--and they openly lie. I was in India also and understood why two-thirds of Americans have little or no confidence in the mass media. Here is what I wrote: hindustantimes.com/opinion/t…

Full moon rising over Coit Tower and Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco, with a beautiful sunset sky to accompany it.

Rejection is redirection.

William Dalrymple has recently shown himself to be a giant of moral integrity and intellectual courage—unlike the many weaker intellects who shill for a (dying) establishment.

One of the best responses I have heard from an Indian minister.

PSA: in light of recent cyberattacks and vulnerabilities, I recommend everyone: * use a good password manager (1Password) and do not duplicate passwords * use two factor auth for everything important (not via sms!! Google Authenticator or better yet YubiKey) * Auto-updates on, and restart weekly so they actually install * Freeze your credit * Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN * Get your cell carrier to give you a port-out PIN or number lock that makes the carrier refuse to move your number without the PIN You can ask your claude code to audit what on your laptop is out of date and needs updating.

To the coffee curious, Bello coffee in Glen Park has fantastic light roast. You also get a complimentary drink with the purchase.

I think fake meat is great. As a vegetarian, I can say that to me it's the best of both worlds. It's protein rich and satisfies the desire for meat.
