@DGCAIndia @IndiGo6E , please look into IndiGo flight 6E 1484 from Dubai to Pune. This is serious.
Since Oct 26, when it's scheduled departure was changed from 5:40pm to 10:50pm the flight has not taken off on time even once. It seems they don't have clearance for
@DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI same thing again. How is @IndiGo6E allowed to schedule a flight for 10.50pm, when the actual tim of take off is post midnight.
@IndiGo6E would you care to explain?

Will Autonomous AI Exceed AI-Aided Physicians As The Best Medical Care?
I absolutely agree with Vinod to the same level of enthusiasm as I did when @geoffreyhinton declared that AI would replace all radiologists within five years.
(That was ten years ago, by the way.)
Let's examine the five studies that led the authors of this paper to come to their dramatic conclusion:
1. A small study involving simulated - not real - patient interactions.
2. A study with the generous sample size of - let me check - 20 humans.
3. A test that compared the diagnoses of an AI where a) cost was a primary constraint and b) was measured against "physicians without access to colleagues, textbooks, or the internet."
4. A test that measured compliance to guidelines (see also Goodhart's Law).
5. Another study with yet an even more generous sample size of - let's check again - 16 humans.
Game mostly over for human doctors vs. AI? @ZekeEmanuel @AbeBakerButler @nealkhosla and I just published in @JAMA_current: AI-alone may provide better patient care than physicians or physician-controlled hybrids at 5 fundamental cognitive medical tasks is unsettling but seems probable. Even when AI alone is superior, significant barriers to implementation remain. Nonetheless, superior autonomous AI will likely be ready to be deployed for real-world cognitive medical tasks in some, maybe many, workflows by 2030. Consequently, physicians, policymakers, and others need to urgently devise approaches to workflow, liability, regulation, reimbursement, and medical education.
@DrOz @1klomp time for @CMSGov @CMSinnovates to take note: Will Autonomous AI Exceed AI-Aided Physicians as the Best Medical Care?

Indian app partners have been unable to use Indian credit cards to run Shopify ads for quite some time, putting them at a significant disadvantage.
The RBI now permits automatic recurring debits of up to ₹15,000, which is well above the $100 Shopify charges whenever the ad balance reaches the billing threshold. It would be great if Shopify could reconsider this restriction and allow Indian credit cards to be used for Shopify ads again. @ShopifyDevs @Shopify
Hopefully, this can be enabled soon :)

A week ago I landed in Vietnam for @HackerResidency .
I promised I’d build something new, fast.
So here it is: usereframe.app
A tool to help print-on-demand sellers make money with AI.
No launch party (yet), just shipping in public.
Target is to reach $1k MRR in 25 days.
If you have good documentation for your Shopify apps, you should definitely check out CrawlChat by @pramodk73
It adds an AI-powered chat support layer on top of your docs that you can embed directly into your app dashboard.
Even if your documentation isn't perfect yet, CrawlChat helps you identify frequently asked questions and train it to answer them.
This has been a longtime dream of mine - to create a co-working and co-living space somewhere between Mumbai and Pune.
This is beyond luxury for me :)
I don’t think I deserve this but if someone from Bangalore just randomly work from some cafe, I am up! Maybe for a week?
Would love to hang out with people with laptop, building something individually. Almost all the time I am just so solo almost all the time speaking with self in mind.
Would love to shout out with someone who understands it and vice verse listen :)
This message is so misleading.
The customer has apps built for Online Store 2.0, but they can't see them because their old theme structure doesn't support it.
Working with an IndieHacker, trying something new for my Shopify App support - optimized to reduce manual load and still convert support tickets into 5-star reviews.
Basic workflow:
Customer asks via chat
→ AI doc answers & asks if issue is resolved
→ Yes → Request review with AppStore review link
→ No → Create ticket + option to contact via WhatsApp if priority
When closing ticket:
→ Confirm if issue is resolved
→ Yes → Request review with AppStore review link
If AI can't answer:
→ Create ticket + offer WhatsApp (or email/slack) support for priority
→ Feed answer back to AI for future
Why this should work,
✅ Customer gets instant response
✅ Tickets reduce chances of customer uninstalling without hearing back from us
✅ Gives us time to resolve issues
✅ Customer can still talk to live agent for high priority issues
✅ Docs improve over time and become self-sufficient.
⭐ Most importantly, convert to reviews at each positive touch points.
My recent video with Groww crossed 2.5 lakh views!
Curious about the response in comments, I ran a sentiment analysis on the comments.
The audience split into two camps,
Some found the story inspiring - they saw the risk, the effort, and the payoff, and felt a push to think differently.
Others were skeptical - questioning the success, doubting the path, or warning against stepping away from the traditional route.
Both perspectives are understandable. But here's a thought,
Guess which group is more likely to take charge of their life, challenge the status quo, and build something of their own?
And which one might continue following the herd, never testing what they’re truly capable of?
It’s not about who's right or wrong — it's about mindset.
Would you rather follow the traditional journey or maybe dare to explore something unconventional?
My passion project Qissa Comics just got featured in one of the local leading newspaper - Mid Day ️🔥
People often ask, “What do you do after FIRE?”
Well... you do what you love to, without worrying about making profits from it.
For me, that’s Qissa Comics 🙌
Not sure how successful it will be, but writing these stories brings me joy.
And someday, when people talk about the history of Indian comics, maybe I’ll have earned a small place in it!
"Don’t build $5 Shopify apps," I heard an expert say once. Fair point — but I’ve never been a fan of sweeping statements like that.
I’ve been away from the Shopify ecosystem for a while, but one of the last apps I got built and enabled monetization just a few months ago has quietly crossed $1000 MRR — all on a $4.95/month plan (and lower).
No marketing, no sales. Just organic installs through the App Store with keyword optimization.
Plus it's showing steady growth 📈
You can either build a complex SaaS product for a few high-paying customers or a micro-SaaS for a larger audience at a lower price point (and empower entrepreneurs just starting up 😉).
Neither path is right or wrong — just different strategies.
Lost over 300 reviews overnight. While it didn’t impact the average rating or rankings too much, it definitely makes the app more vulnerable to swings from negative reviews.
When you have 600+ reviews, a couple of 1-stars don’t hurt much.
But with just 300 5-star reviews now, a few 1-stars can drag the average down. 😟
On the brighter side, a couple of apps I knew were using fake reviews have seen their ratings drop below 4 stars — so I guess Shopify did do something right after all 🙌
