And well not even a thought that with about 70% of India's electricity generation being from coal - that is effectively shifting from petrol to 100% incremental marginal draw on coal - until we have enough green energy (which is not happening before a few decades).

I wont be surprised if all other browsers are banned and then all citizen required to link AADHAR with this browser before using it.

Would a financial risk / treasury guy, pursuing MS-Systems science, and with limited coding experience (that too with the help of LLMs) be helpful for your cause ? If yes, then please feel free to ping me.

Funny that. Actually it is a perfectly valid scientific question to ask that for a species where causes of diseases can potentially exists at multiple scales (global / national / state / local society / family / physical individual / organ/ tissue/cell/proteins/other molecules/atoms/quantum) -...

Precautionary principle should be relied upon here, because nobody is keen to fund studies that disrupt an applecart of money going around. And we already know what so many generations before us ate and were healthy (none of it was GMO off course), and that is as strong a heuristic as you will...

I invite you to think about corporate incentive structures, and how corporates fund most large trials that lead to drug approvals. Today, the only drugs that get funding for large trials are the ones where billions can be made due to patents. "Modern science" has been compromised by this - and...

Have you heard of use of heuristics in applied science and engineering ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(engineering) https://www.icrontech.com/resources/blogs/optimization-vs-heuristics-which-is-the-right-approach-for-your-business ...

While ayurveda has clearly failed to keep up with modern methods, it is probably a little arrogant to call it pseudoscience in a broad stroke. There are approximate solutions that can be arrived at through heuristics and that is arguably what Ayurveda went by in its prime - which was reasonable...

Happy birthday to you, @Renegade ! I hope life brings you everything that you seek. Its super belated, but maybe it'll be worthwhile to say that seeing you and some of the other early members active here after all these years is quite heartwarming partly due to nostalgia. Thanks for that too.

Jokes apart, this could destroy relationships and leave us deeply lonely and without skills to attract the opposite sex. Pornography has done a fair bit of that already. The big point being - humans find meaning in challenges, and don't really do well psychologically, when things come easy in...

Yes, it is a very good idea but ideally pick a fund that invests in overnight CBLO/very short-term government securities.

Just paid for 5 codes.

Have to second that as someone who's been in the financial markets space for a long while. This advice is pure gold. Also - INR multi-period rolling returns of gold and stock indices are usually similar on average to gold, with gold often doing better than indices. On a risk-adjusted basis, gold...

Alright well I have a question - will this "superchip" slip into a desktop computer PCIX slot and run 200b models? Makes me wonder if the current gen PCIX slots /Motherboards/CPUs would be a bottleneck ?

I appreciate the sentiment and intent, and all the best to you, but just wanted to add that the "habit of investing" can be a double-edged sword unless backed by the habit of learning to separate greed and fear from the underlying analysis, which requires the ultimate levels of analytical rigor...
