Yesterday at dinner in restaurant my teen was like one she moves out of house we shouldn’t expect to see her beyond a few times a year. I was like wouldn’t you want to meet us more than a couple of times? Her response it’s not like you meet your parents more than once in two years so I am perfectly ok meeting you all a few times a year. I know this is all part of teenage growing up but I have to admit it stung a little. We explained to her that both our parents and us sacrificed this part of our lives so we were hoping it will not be the same with her to which she replied “we will see!”. This kid 🙄🤷‍♂️

I don’t know how MacBook Neo is going to work as it’s promised. We have a home M2 macbok air that barely keeps up with just browsing and extremely basic photo editing through photos app. Surely it has to be far worse? I will say though our Mac was far faster and better without Tahoe. Tahoe is a wrench alright.

At one point it used to be cheap to rent camera and lenses for your trips. It was a good way to try out a fancy camera + lens combination for a week or so and figure out what you liked. Now? There are no serious options in market so lens rental, the default rental place for camera is frigging expensive! A 10 day rental of lumix s9 with a lens is almost 300 bucks?! That’s like nearly 30% of the value of a new kit anyway – I might as well just buy the new kit in that case. So stupid. I hope these companies shut down.

It’s insane that there is a partial government shutdown happening which means tsa agents have been working without pay for a month but this country can also spend more than a billion a day on a useless war. If this happened in India there would general strikes and bharat bandhs galore with violence on streets against the govt. Americans are truly remarkable people.

I am aware the same argument will work in reverse too if data science wanted product management time. I am also fairly certain AI will do a pretty good job of my job too. We are truly in a different territory here and if you are in tech you should at this point really think through how you can use AI to augment and keep you a step ahead of it as long as you can.

I gave a page long prompt to internal ai tool to do some deep discovery and do data analysis on given data. It’s been 15 minutes and it’s still doing its analysis. It’s tempting to think this is so slow, but I know that if I have the same problem to my data science team they would give me a 2 week estimate to come with analysis. Why would I go to my data science team?

It’s strange every time I see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli post retirement in pictures and videos, Rohit always looks happy and enjoying the game, while every thing about Kohli seems like he is just perpetually angry or dissatisfied. Rohit just looks so chill and really enjoys the game on or off the field with no airs around himself.

I have actually never seen a single episode of “The Wire”. I started watching it once and stopped midway at first episode. I lived in Baltimore from 2001-2004 for masters, have taken public transport through some of the worst areas of Baltimore (of course only in daylight!) and was relieved when I finally left it so why do I want watch a tv show shot in and around same areas hehe. I know I should see it though at some point. It’s been years if not a decade or more I have been to Baltimore and I have no desire to visit this city.

Don’t get what was going on in England and New Zealand’s game plan last two matches. Both won the toss and made India bat which I think was a foolish idea. England came close but common sense would indicate that in a pressure cooker match against a side like India you are much better off putting pressure on India to chase rather than them put up a total.

Of all the places in dc that stupid, no make that incredibly stupid Indian couple decided to film a dance for tiktok reels at the World War II memorial. The one place in national mall that invites the worst of this country and is littered with maga galore – that place. And now they maybe deported. Good riddance. I support their deportation. Even if the place was not maga central, a war memorial is no place for a ridiculous dance video – like what the fuck were this couple thinking! Like you have entire fucking national mall with so so so many options for this. https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/indian-origin-man-madhu-raju-face-deportation-viral-video-tik-tok-dance-world-war-two-memorial-washington-dc-us-2878879-2026-03-08
