I will say this - LLMs are not replacing humans any time soon. I have experience in my domaim and know what to elicit from an LLM. I'm saving myself the hassle of typing 100K LoC every year. But if companies stop hiring young people, there will be a void in the pipeline and it will create havoc. "AI will replace SDEs" is a marketing gimmick. AI will make people more productive and result in more people writing more software. This non-hiring of juniors will be fixed soon enough.
I don't think Khare's comments should be taken as some attack on the PMs father. It's a colloquialism that's crude but not malicious.
But PM Modi is 100% justified to go after the mentioned ancestors of Rahul Gandhi. They were in prominent roles in active politics. No free pass.
President Lula and PM Modi have a lot in common, including their humble beginnings. Hopefully, India and Brazil can work towards growing trade without using the $.
Heartiest congratulations to my dear friend, President Lula, on his remarkable re-election victory.
I look forward to working closely with him to further deepen and expand the multifaceted India-Brazil Strategic Partnership.
Together, we will continue to strengthen our cooperation across diverse sectors, advance the shared priorities of the Global South and work towards a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable world.

If I said something like this, even jokingly, I would have a tough time making eye contact with the many women in my life, starting with my mother, my wife, my cousin sisters, and friends. Who talks like this????

That's not good news for the AI buildout 👀
Pretty much.
As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.
SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.
That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.
Why are these protestors getting such cheap lawyers? Why are y'all rationing at Soros & Co. Give the kids money for good lawyers. What kind of a lawyer drives a camary???? The kind that can't get you out on bail.
When I need to use Claude, I use it inside VS code. And then when I need to edit code, I go back to my wall of vim windows. Is it just me??
I should probably ask r/AITA if it's just me.
India has an MoU with Indonesia to sell them the Brahmos missile. There isn't even a formal agreement yet.
And given Indonesia's extra curricular activities, I don't see the deal being consumated.
For the 100th time - anyone insisting on ballot paper based voting has only one interest - both capturing and the actual destruction of democracy.
Reports of booth capturing, snatching of ballots, and other irregularities have been received from UP and Bihar during yesterday’s MLC elections. Electronic voting machines (EVM) were not issued in this election. Voters, mostly graduates and teachers, had to stamp the ballot paper and stuff it inside the ballot box.
Those who have been demanding nationwide elections through ballot papers, must have seen visuals of how booths were captured and ballots looted yesterday. However, this was on a scale much low compared to the dark days of Eighties and Nineties.
I covered several elections in UP and Bihar as a reporter. I was witness to scenes of 10 to 12 gunmen coming in vehicles, firing in the air to scare away the voters. The polling staff and lathi-carrying policemen used to hide in other rooms.
Gunmen used to snatch away ballots, merrily stamp them and stuff those ballots inside boxes. Polling used to be over within an hour. Voters waiting outside were told that polling is over.
There were no TV cameras at that time, nor did people have mobile phone cameras to record these acts. Hence, it was very difficult to collect “evidence”. Occasionally, some newspaper camerapersons used to take pictures, and when newspapers published them, there used to be a big hullabaloo. Repolling was held in such booths.
For the generation who have only seen the age of EVMs, they can hardly imagine how gangsters used to loot votes in those dark days. Such acts of booth capturing led to the rise of gangsters, mafia and hooligans in Indian politics. Later, gangsters themselves fought elections.
Thirty years ago, when EVMs were introduced in elections, the influence of ‘vote mafia’ gradually waned. Today, those who are demanding the return of ballot papers, must realize they will be taking the country back to that dangerous era which still gives goosebumps.
Why don't you actually sue the news channel?? Not enough people sue news channels peddling poorly researched news as the truth. Ideally those running the channel should be used till they are left with nothing but their 🩲 if they did something so shoddily.
How shameless can you get @Akshita_N . Your former Tihar return Journalist ran an entire show targetting me and Newsclick. Your hindi and English news channels targetted us for more than a month. You did the same with Riya चक्रवर्ती. The entire battery of Godi media Journos made and cast aspersions on me and Newsclick. But zero proof of either China agenda shows or tampering with the Indian Map. All if which was a part of the bjp driven propaganda . Allegedly बोलने गुनाह पर पर्दा डल जाता है? इतनी बेशर्मी आती कहाँ से है? किसी ने कहा Newsclick should sue this Govt ? You destroyed a platform based on lies . You froze their accounts . 100 plus people dependent for their livelihood on Newsclick had no jobs . Maximum still don't. ये बकवास आप कैसे बोल सकते हो? Journalist या BJP IT cell की कर्मचारी.
While people may have political and ideological differences with her and the Gandhi family, her losses have been grave. It's unimaginable to lose your partner so shockingly and abruptly. And that was preceeded by the loss of her mother in law, again in tragic circumstances. Sometimes it's easy to forget that our politicians are also human beings and deserve a measure of compassion and dignity in a personal capacity.
Why don't Thunderbolt 5 docks have 10GbE? Most offices these days are provisioned for 10GBE. I now need to buy a dongle for 10GBE. What a farce.
I have so many questions. If they rocket lands upside down, does it still count as a recoverable rocket ?
Singapore will find other sources of NatGas, but this is not a great look for Indonesia, especially given the circumstances. Hopefully these frictions go away as they don't make any sense in the longer term.
