I was going to get an NC (not clear) in a course, wrote a mail to the prof explaining that I'm not interested in Physics and that I seem to be doing well in my choice of field.
He replied, "Best wishes for whatever you do...Do well in life!" and saved me an NC 🤌✨
It was fun leading this team of 30 peeps along with

No. of startups launched this year is lowest in the past 12 years i.e., 1050.
The annual average is just a little above 4000.
The highest was in 2015 ― 8000!
2nd highest was in 2016 ― 5200
PS: TVF Pitchers was released in 2015. Should I connect the dots!?
The starting address went fine! 🌸

Businesses are built on - what do most "people care about" (PCA)
Apple: PCA quality products
McD: PCA burgers
Coke: PCA beverages
Tesla: PCA luxury/smart cars
SpaceX: People *don't* care about Mars colonization.
So, Impact has nothing to do with who gets a higher valuation.

Hello
@naval
, I went through your 3.5hr podcast with Nivi on "How to get rich"
I know you mentioned that you haven't found anything that contradicts in your tweet and you've only included the stuff you are certain about. But, I have a few questions:
Do answer if they are worth
@siddharth_iitm
I'm wondering how are you finding these users to talk to, coz the play store doesn't provide details about them.
Many times even the name is not exact so I've tried to isolate them using device brand & model, not much success tho.
Wondering if one could use embeddings and shit and train ChatGPT on some Inc42 reports, entrackr funding posts, crunchbase data, traxcn data, statista?
Inevitably after toying with gpt, I now wanna learn how I can toy better. pls share resources frens!

I get happy when I get truecaller flagged spam calls.
The ringtone gets my anxiety amped up (coz imagine talking) and then it's a big relief to see "airtel telemarketing, 25738 spam reports"
Heyy, if there are any early stage founders on my tl. or if you know someone.

Someone on twitter said that cat men treat women better. I’ve been thinking of it ever since and bro, I know this is total anecdotal evidence, but every cat man I know is both very masculine and a happily married man. Wtf.
