I put an entire codebase in a text file and gave it to Gemini 1.5 Pro.
I gave it a task that required updating ~10 files across the entire codebase - so decently complex.
It got about 80% of the work done for me on a 1st attempt.
Watch to see in-depth on how it performed.

The Indian government has issued executive orders requiring X to act on specific accounts and posts, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment.
In compliance with the orders, we will withhold these accounts and posts in India alone; however, we disagree with these actions and maintain that freedom of expression should extend to these posts.
Consistent with our position, a writ appeal challenging the Indian government's blocking orders remains pending. We have also provided the impacted users with notice of these actions in accordance with our policies.
Due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders, but we believe that making them public is essential for transparency. This lack of disclosure can lead to a lack of accountability and arbitrary decision-making.

Hey Bangaloreans! I'm looking to meet a couple of people who have moved back from the US or EU after staying there for a decade or so. I'm considering it and would love to hear other stories. Coffee is on me!

hey @BPCLimited @BPCLBangalore @BPCLLPG , I *always* book my gas cylinder using your App & pay online. When I tried booking today I got an error message. On investigating, I found that earlier this month two cylinders were "delivered" paid via cash on delivery. What is happening?

Also, my account ( on the APP) has been blocked. It was blocked today morning after I have lodged this complaint.
I am extremely disappointed by this experience.

Hey @Olacabs @ola_supports I took an auto from Brookefield to Whitefield. A distance of ~7KM & predicted fare was Rs ~130. After the trip, the driver forgot (assuming good intent here) to stop the trip and went 20+ KMs his way and I was charged Rs 470. Can you help?
And @Olacabs @ola_supports Before you tell me to use the app's support system, let me tell you that I have done it & it is useless. Even writing to support email from the app resulted in totally useless replies from 2 support execs. Please return my money. Thanks.

August 12th, 1983, the release of the most subversive comedy ever made in India. What was even more amazing was that it was financed by a govt agency, NFDC, who backed a film that was a satire on the top politicians & businessmen of the time.

We live in the IT / startup / fintech capital of the country and the electricity provider cannot figure out how to take money from people who want to pay.
Today is special. I have been asked my two private companies to upload my Aadhaar. One of them even asked for my Voter ID. 😨
How come no one is interested in knowing what my favourite colour is? 🤔
