In 1939, Jawaharlal Nehru visited Rabindranath Tagore to ask if Jana Gana Mana could become India's national anthem. A statistician was in the room.

That statistician, P.C. Mahalanobis, would go on to build the system that let a newly independent nation of 350 million people see itself clearly for the first time.

In 1950, nobody knew what the average Indian ate. Or earned. Or whether they had work. Policy ran on guesswork.

Mahalanobis changed that.

He built the National Sample Survey, which knocked on thousands of doors and asked, item by item: what did you eat last month? Rice, dal, cooking oil, fuel, clothing.

Harold Hotelling, then among the foremost statisticians in the world, wrote that no sampling technique developed anywhere could "compare in accuracy" with what Mahalanobis had built.

This is the story of how India built, then lost, and is slowly rebuilding the infrastructure of national self-knowledge.

Denying entry for being late is one the most idiotic rules to exist. What exactly are you losing by allowing a late student to write the exam? Don't come at me with the "but it's to ensure discipline". Bc no one ever deliberately gets late. The entire system is filled w sadists.

Good. The rent seeking will stop.

They’ve already done this to caviar, diamonds, electronics, medicine and AI.

I can’t wait for cheap GPUs. Oh, and life extension technology. Can’t have the elites hoarding that.

Everything shall be affordable to the masses. Everything.

INTERESTING: so the thoroughly incompetent All India Football Federation plans to rename itself to Football Federation of Bharat. Wow, what an idea Sirji. Instead of being game-changing, we are in a name changing era! 🙏😡

This is how we want our PM to talk to us. With sincerity,with concern, with hope and with empathy. Whichever side you are on the political spectrum atm, you can't choose communal politics over your child's future. This country is bleeding and a lot of people are still applauding for the one with the knife.

Because the government changed the way poverty is calculated, not the reality of poverty itself. Changing definitions doesn't change people's lives.

Funny how some people moral-police women for wearing Western clothes, but the moment they see a woman in a cotton saree expressing her opinions, they dismiss it as “poor people’s clothing” or “poor backdrop”, They seem to love women in sarees only when those women stay silent.

The US military attacked Indian oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, killing three Indians.

The Indian Prime Minister did not even issue a single condemnation..

Rich kids being able to do art for a living may be a reflection of their privilege but it seems to me like a reflection of the fact that a human that doesn't have to worry about money will often choose art. everyone is an artist until rent is due. i wish we all had that right

The smallest country in terms of population which qualified for the world cup is Curaçao

It has a population of 1.58 Lakh

Their total population is less than the number of people who pass thru Dadar Station between 6 to 8 PM

And they are playing the World Cup

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:

“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego. 
For nothing. 
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
