In a strange event on April 19th, 1995, McArthur Wheeler executed a bank robbery while wearing a disguise consisting of lemon juice smeared on his face. His rationale was rooted in the belief that lemon juice, commonly used as invisible ink, would render him undetectable by CCTV cameras. With confidence, he even grinned at each camera he encountered during the heist.

However, later that same night, the police apprehended Wheeler. The moment of reckoning occurred when they presented him with the CCTV footage, leaving Wheeler utterly astonished. He expressed his disbelief to the officers, uttering the baffling words, "but I wore the juice."

This outlandish episode involving McArthur Wheeler has earned its place as a renowned case study in the realm of psychology. It notably contributed to the unveiling of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias wherein individuals with limited competence in a particular task tend to overestimate their abilities.

CGI is about to get easy

This is simulon, a new iOS app that’s still in invite only mode

The video below was made with a live in-camera preview and auto-exposure matching, no camera solve, no HDRI capture and no manual compositing setup.

Just attended a great talk by @Swiggy data science team on explainable models for fraud detection.
Interesting to see transformer models beating GBT models in production for such critical use cases.

The Shark Tank India phenomenon has spawned an ecosystem of unregulated fundraising for startups.

Thousands of retail investors are pouring crores of rupees into risky bets.

How are they doing it? Is it even legal?

@policybazaar I tried calling again and could successfully get the issue resolved for now by making manual payment on HDFC portal.
Sadly policy bazar did not notify or give option to renew from its website UI.
