Most experiments fail, and negative results rarely get published. This means LLMs are unaware of the outcomes of most experiments.

We are basically the polar opposite of the Japanese when it comes to public workmanship.

They obsess over finish, precision, alignment, small details, and attach personal honour to the craft itself.

Here the entire philosophy is: “kaam ho gaya na?”

No one gives two fucks whether the output looks decent, lasts 3 months, or makes the city look like a real place. Find the easiest jugaad, slap some paint, close the file. Become Vishwaguru.

And knowledge becomes scarce

And. Indians tracing the same path towards 'Computerization & AI" incorporating into schools. Slate replaced by Tablet, Blackbord replaced by screens, textbooks replaced by PDFs. And classes become virtual.

Humid heat is under recognised as a threat to health. Our definition of heatwaves must be based on the body’s response to heat stress & not just max temperature. Good report in @down2earthindia https://t.co/FXWVe5zpHx @Indiametdept @MoHFW_INDIA @ndmaindia @iiscbangalore

Just for this reason, in Salem, they had it above a feet from the road! 🤡

[Local Tea Party @localteaparty]

Roads were much narrower and were gradually expanded over decades. So that itself is not a problem.

But god forbid Chennai corporation puts a manhole lid that aligns flush with the road for once.

this is so depressing...

We tried to call their customer service as well as the local branch. However it's not possible to reach them. Would you please help us in this regard?

[Praveen @prvnpa4]

Hi @ICICIBank_Care my wife requested a reissue of debit card & the courier didn't deliver it yet. Tracking details show 'No such person in that address', while she's in home all the time. However there is an issue with the mobile number and the calls are not connecting sometimes.

Life is what happens when you’re busy trying to get your paper published

[Praveen @prvnpa4]

And vice versa?

[Neil Renic @NC_Renic]

As a mature adult, it’s very important to hate a font, and the people who use that font, with an irrational intensity

[Dad Jokes @Dadsaysjokes]

Hiking in your 40s is a great way to meet new people.

Today I met two paramedics, three nurses, a cardiologist and nearly met Jesus.
