Today marks the capping of a trilogy of articles I've written for @ESPNcricinfo, centered around important questions and results in T20 cricket. If you're into T20 strategy, have a look! Thread 🔽
He was so instrumental to CSK winning
Born today, Bollinger—one of those cricketers whose 121 international wickets don’t tell you how fierce he was. His 2010-11 run with CSK? Back-to-back titles, and no quick had more wickets or impact for CSK. He didn’t just bowl spells—he owned moments.
Outstanding piece on what makes a once-in-a-century bowler be so uniquely lethal. Outstanding, sensational work @hganjoo_153
You've heard a LOT about his release point. But in my latest for Cricinfo, I study the magic of Bumrah's release whip. How it gives him seam, swing, and bounce. Using advanced data, this explores a legendary bowler like no one has before. Have a read! espncricinfo.com/story/how-bumr…
Let’s talk about J. Sai Deepak — a man with no formal education in history who has somehow convinced large swathes of the internet that he’s an authority on ancient India, colonialism, civilizational theory, and more. Spoiler: he’s not a historian. Not even close. 🧵

The agony of thinking you’re finished doing the dishes only to turn around and to your horror: the pot.
the endpoint of capitalism: fake people listening to fake music to generate free money for the already wealthy while everyone else is cut out completely
Human cultural replacement. Not just AI music but AI listeners too - a fake and fraudulent way for Spotify to generate Ad revenue. Who needs humans when bots can click on links and trick advertisers into paying for fake engagement.

Why there is no " pure " non-veg restaurants? 🤔 when there are " pure " veg restaurants. Can some one enlighten me about what's " pure " in the food you eat.
I have moved to substack. This is my first post, based on a couple of threads I did recently. Link below.
How can the answer be anything but this

What a cruel misunderstanding... after you accept a service, you can't not pay. Cash is legal tender. UPI is not. UPI is a convenience to be used only when both parties agree. What is describe here is technically the theft of a service isn't it? x.com/ajayprabhun/st…

A certain Italian Marxist did.... And got death threats for it.
Someone needs to study why Italians are so pretentious and annoying about their food
Nice new result for Tests: given the ratio of batting-to-bowling average for a team, you can compute the win probability using a sigmoid function.
i do not set ‘reminders’, i do not ‘structure’ my tasks, i do not ’write things down’. i RAWDOG it. and if i do not remember, i don’t DO IT.
And it's the same in statistical mechanics!
I am an evangelist for simple ideas. No matter the field, you can (almost always) find a small set of mind-numbingly simple ideas making the entire thing work. In machine learning, the maximum likelihood estimation is one of those.
Brilliant thread
How many holes does a straw have? Topologically, of course, it has 1: it's homeomorphic to a punctured disk. But intuitively it has 2: one at the top and one at the bottom. And this answer lies at the heart of the most rigorous axiomatization of quantum field theory. (1/20)
Was watching an Old Delhi food video and saw that shops in the Jama Masjid area have started making poori-aloo breakfast now? This is a new development isn't it? @nairmayukh
Europeans seem to think of AC the way we think of Ozempic. It's too easy, man is supposed to suffer and you can't bypass that without incurring the wrath of the gods.
