I have been simulating fluids for 15 years.
There is a widespread impression that the Navier Stokes equations have been now “solved”, thanks to OpenAI.
This suggests that they were “unsolved” so far and this was a major engineering breakthrough.
This is not true. This misunderstanding deeply bothers me as a computational physicist.
So I had to put this out.
My dad called me yesterday. He's in his early 70s and wanted to know if he should continue pay a ridiculously high 90k premium on his 5 lakh health cover, purchased years ago. Thousands of senior citizens face the same dilemma. He has another super top up policy with a 20k premium of 5 lakh.
What did I answer?
"Baba keep paying it. The cover is annual - if you get hospitalized in different years, you can make multiple claims. If you build your own corpus instead by investing the premiums, it is only available once to you. What we can do, is explore another super-top up to add to the cover at a low cost," I replied.
"But I have OPD expenses of 40-50 k per year and this policy doesn't cover it," he said.
"Well, most insurance policies don't. That's just how they're designed unless you pay a much higher premium for specific plans that do."
"Your mother is covered too. Does she even know about it?" he asked.
"Probably not, Baba. Probably not. So both of you need it. That's all the more reason to keep it," I replied.
"Send me the policy over email. In case any health emergency happens to you it will be easier for me to get the health insurance claim," I added.
I'm mostly not a good son. But sometimes, I help :)
Today's story by @apri_sharma explains why seniors should hang on to their policies except in the most extreme of cases https://t.co/k4chbnjXWF
Indian engineers think metrology is for losers.
Hence, Indian engineers can't truly compete with the Germans.
If you cannot measure right, how will you design & engineer good components & systems?
@tejeshwi_sharma Fear of failure due to the societal reactions is a real thing.
US is the only country that celebrates failure.
UK, China, India always judge it.
Ok so I tested Sarvam AI's new model using some India specific tests for
1) Multilingualism
2) Cultural understanding and context
3) Empathy and decision making
4) Historica facts
Here are my thoughts (Massive thread). All of these questions have thinking enabled.
Pakistan made a mockery of military personnel & its public by lying about destroying the Adampur air base. They have nobody to blame but themselves for this very public humiliation.
BREAKING ⚠️
If Pakistan wants to survive, it must end terror. If it does not, it will face doom. If we talk to Pakistan, it will only be on terror & on PoK: PM Modi
“Pakistan had so much arrogance about their forces, but when we destroyed them, they begged the whole world, asked for de-escalation, and called our DGMO begging to stop”— PM Modi ☠️☠️🔥🔥
Difficult to overstate what an amazing picture this is—an officially released photo of the Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) that executed the insane symphony of India’s air defence during Op Sindoor. Heroes all.
Happy hunting, India salutes you! 🇮🇳
