But, I'll just say that this is still going to cause the opposite of the desired effect in industry. The behemoths will be able to pay this fee easily while smaller players & startups will not. 2/
From being mocked for being inexperienced and incompetent, Rahul Gandhi is now emerging a sought-after leader of India’s youth. https://t.co/pEz5FCp1kH
Director, IIT Delhi, threatens student of "disciplinary actions" over these "humiliating and threatening language in slogans".
"Aao professors bahar aao, aao humara saath do" is now threatening and humiliating. Call for help is now threatening and unsavoury.
Staff employment policies in educational institutions need a complete overhaul. These should be performance-based rather than permanent positions, and student feedback should be considered. If there are regular complaints about someone for being rude and not doing their jobs properly, that person should be let go.
Very excited that we are bringing cheaper / free Claude to more scientists!
If you are using Claude for scientific research, I'd love to hear your feedback, what works well and what doesn't - accelerating science is the main reason I care about AI!
Even if you grant the absurd premise about Jews and Italians, this only makes sense if you know *nothing* about India or its politics.
Mamdani is criticizing a leader of the RSS. It's a violent Hindu nationalist group, one of whose devotees literally killed Gandhi.
> you're not owed a job by society no matter how many years of training / experience you have invested
so are you giving up your tenure or does this uniquely not apply to you?
i'd be ok if a frontier lab employee (maybe he's one in the making) or an outsider said this to me. spouting this "pull urself by your bootstraps" boomerslop while sitting on the comfy cushion of tenure is some "let them have cake" tier lack of awareness
No woman has ever topped IIT JEE exam in 60+ years.
Until 2013, no girl made it to even a top-10 rank. In 2025, the top 15 ranks were all male.
No woman has ever headed an IIT campus, as a director in those same 60+ years.
Why are IITs - from aspirants to professors to administrators - so heavily skewed towards men?
Before you conclude anything about ability, three facts:
Girls beat boys in CBSE boards every single year. Women out-qualify men in NEET. Women took UPSC's Rank 1 three years in a row.
The variable isn't the girls, it's what stands between them and this one exam.
Families spend 13.4% less on daughters' education. The Kota bet is made for sons. Girls are just 23% of JEE Advanced test-takers.
And in 2017, an IIT committee found women were 20% of qualifiers, but fewer than half were allowed by their families to enroll in IIT despite eligibility.
They cracked the hardest exam on earth and lost at the dinner table.
There's a structural tax on female ambition in India, collected long before the test begins.
Zero female JEE AIR 1s was never a verdict on ability. It's an audit of their social and financial obstacles.
These miserable douchebags are always out there online looking for engagement while living a miserable life. They deliberately give out shocking statements for that purpose. Don't expect any meaningful conversation from them. I always find it best not to engage with them and block & hide their replies preventing filth from building up under my posts, it saves my own energy and peace of mind.
