RAF's own review finds 'excessive force' by personnel during Delhi protest

An internal Rapid Action Force review has found instances of excessive force by its personnel during the July 20 protest at Jantar Mantar, with the force's top leadership stating some actions seen on social media "cannot be justified under any circumstances"

The review chaired by Inspector General Seema Dhundia on July 22, found personnel using force against people who had already disengaged from the crowd, pushing individuals to the ground, and striking people standing outside barricades

Measures introduced include mandatory body worn cameras for every operation and dedicated photographers and videographers to document major incidents in future

Police using teargas, lathis with nails during CJP Protest: Gopal Sankaranayanan to Delhi High Court

[Shubham @sksq96]

so, let’s get this straight…

an unreleased (gpt-6?) model was being tested in a no-internet scenario on openai’s servers. and it found several zero-day vulnerabilities in the sandbox, which was supposed to not have internet access… found internet access, went to hugging face’s servers, found another exploit in their dataset loader… just to do what exactly? game and reward-hack the ExploitGym benchmark???

so gpt-6 would basically go ahead and exploit several zero-day vulnerabilities to cheat on the exam instead of actually solving the exam

#ExpressView | The abundant images yesterday — of thousands of mostly young and mostly peaceful protestors facing barricades and lathi charge and tear gas shells in the heart of the national capital — were stark and dispiriting. They indict the government.
The protestors were reportedly responding to the call of the satirical online platform, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), to march to Parliament. The CJP has been conducting a sit-in protest since June 20 at Jantar Mantar, from where Sonam Wangchuk, fasting since June 28, was forcibly taken to a hospital on Saturday.

But the protestors were arguably responding to more than one fast or one platform. They were rallying behind the issue that is being highlighted — the urgent need to reform a broken education system, beset with exam leaks, delays and irregularities, which leads, in turn, to swelling the ranks of the unemployed. spokespersons of the CJP. It is, of course, far from clear whether the meeting translates into reform and accountability.

This random company @FinanceBuddha is now giving serious competition to Bajaj Finance in shameless spamming.

Already blocked and reported 6 WhatsApp accounts but they are taking full advantage of the joke of privacy laws in India.

What is MSCI Index Rebalancing that caused the Indian stock market to crash today, wiping out over ₹5.7 lakh crore of investors’ wealth? Let me explain.

Just like NSE has Nifty and BSE has Sensex, MSCI also has multiple indices that represent the stocks of multiple countries or sectors.

If you want to invest in the growth story of India, you would simply buy the Nifty index, as it includes stocks from all sectors in different proportions.

In the same way, when global passive fund houses with billions of dollars want to invest, they usually don’t invest directly in individual stocks.

They are passive global investors, so they invest in indices that include all major countries and stocks in different proportions.

Those indices are developed and managed by MSCI.

Just as stocks get added to or removed from Nifty periodically, MSCI also adds or removes countries and their stocks from its indices periodically.

Here are some examples of MSCI indices that could help you better understand this:

>MSCI World Index
>MSCI Emerging Markets Index
>MSCI Frontier Markets Index

Most probably, as per my expectations, MSCI has reduced or is going to reduce India’s weightage in its latest rebalancing.

This is why ETFs and passive funds that track those indices are selling stocks in India and exiting.

For example:

Suppose India’s weight falls from 19% to 18%, and a fund with $100 billion tracks that index.

In that case, that fund would have to reduce its Indian holdings by $1 billion and invest that money in other countries.

That kind of rebalancing can also push other major investors and traders to exit, causing the markets to fall.

An important point to note is that this is not some kind of conspiracy to manipulate Indian markets.

Global investors care about nothing else, but returns and they would have stayed in India if the returns justified it.

Currently, the high level of taxes, currency depreciation, and focus on freebies instead of innovation, is causing large investors to lose their trust on India 🇮🇳

CJI हो, प्रधानमंत्री, मंत्री, विधायक या कोई अन्य छुटभैया। शक्ति के पद पर बैठे लोगों को आलोचक बहुत अखरते हैं। CJI उन्हें दीमक कहते हैं, PM उन्हें आंदोलनजीवी, मंत्री कीड़ा मकौड़ा समझते हैं।

जहां देश का प्रधान एकतरफा संवाद करता है, वहां सवाल पूछना अपराध की श्रेणी में आना स्वाभाविक है।

यार तुम सवाल बहुत करते हो, बहुत बोलते हो यार, ये हम आपको क्यों बताएं, अ��ाजकता मत फैलाओ, हमें अपना काम करने दो....इस तरह के जवाब दिए जाते हैं जब किसी सत्ताधारी नेता और सीनियर अधिकारी से सवाल पूछे जाते हैं।

RTI वालों को, लोकल पत्रकारों को, सोशल मीडिया के आलोचकों को इसी नजर से देखते हैं ये लोग। लेकिन दबाने वाले हर दौर में रहे हैं, अपनी बात कहने वाले तो कह कर ही रहते हैं।
