@JaaiVipra The contrast between "40 people" and "105B parameters" is particularly funny. As if the researchers were individually picking the value of each parameter by hand. 😂

@mkhanpasha sahab, I might finally bug you again for a discussion on a topic of your choice (if you're still up for it whenever you get time).

I got a little distracted last year and couldn't follow up sooner. 😅

.@joshiamitabhevo and I explored a classic theme in Urdu poetry. I really enjoyed the conversation & got to learn a lot. You might as well, whether you're a seasoned poetry lover or just curious learn about it.

This is a discussion with @KananBehis on the myriad deployments of the Moosa and Toor in Urdu poetry over the centuries. Rather long, but interesting: https://t.co/mU86m2a02Q

Nice thread.

Kashmiri Urdu
The Kashmiri isation of Urdu is a PhD waiting to happen.
Some background
At a certain point in time, Kashmiris decided that they must speak in Urdu ( why ? That is separate PhD topic )
But there was a problem.

@Cric_Beyond_Ent Very cool! I had no idea.

[Kanan Gupta کنن कनन @KananBehis]

@avzaagzonunaada Although I've never heard pēčīdī or pēčīdē, and they would sound awkward. This nativization takes place for most words (definitely tāzā and sādā) but not all. But the distinction is probably arbitrary. A friend often says zyādī ("more" زیادہ), which is unnatural for me.

@Aman_ka_handle भाई तू मेरी आवाज़ में सुन ले. एक ही बात है. ज़्यादा फ़र्क़ नहीं है.
