@theliverdoc @vishwesh51 Doc, can consuming protein supplements or protein-rich foods like Skyr yogurt cause an increase in uric acid levels in the blood?

‘Give me the food, just don’t show me the “unwashed hands” that brought it.’

Where are our manners?

During my second order, I realised that we need to work with malls more closely to improve working conditions for all delivery partners. And malls also need to be more humane to delivery partners.

Have you ever met an individual who works as an IAS officer, Lt Col in the Indian army, a member of the NSA, officer in R&AW and a researcher in various institutions at the same time? Probably not but Mr Anant Mishra is all of them at the same time.

It’s no secret that LLM training data is running out. How close are we to the limit? To answer that, here's an estimate of the total amount of text in the world from every major source:

Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack a list of papers to read, so as to improve John's understanding of AI. That is a lot to read. If you want to quickly grasp what those papers are about, in this thread I share maps on over 20 of them 👇

and reliability are consistently bad. Across products, across a long period of time (7 years). Kindle is perhaps the only exception. Kindle Keyboard, for ex, was a beautiful device. It delivered what it promised. @amazon [2/2]

[Mandar Mutalikdesai @mrmdesai]

Among all intelligent devices I’ve ever used, @amazon’s devices are hands-down the worst. It is almost like they wilfully ignore UX while making the product. Having used multiple versions of Echo, FireTV stick, FireTV Cube, my observation is that the UX [1/2]

@sodhimitali @_svs_ I’m honoured, Mitali. It’s very kind of you to say this.

The official distance of a marathon is exactly 26.2189 miles, or 42.195 kilometres.

Why so specific?

It's a rather strange story which begins nearly two and a half thousand years ago...

Milan Kudera has died. He was known for "The Unbearable Lightness of Being."

This is what he had to say about questions and answers. Deep.

Shakespeare's best (and strangest) insults, a thread:

@DrDeepakKrishn1 In it, Ramanujam discusses how various local cultures and oral/written traditions have contributed to retellings of the Ramayana, and how these retellings have influenced other retellings. Absolutely insightful and enjoyable.

[Mandar Mutalikdesai @mrmdesai]

@DrDeepakKrishn1 On a related note, if your son is old enough (about 15 years, say), I would highly recommend that you get him access to an essay by AK Ramanujam titled “Three Hundred Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translation”. (Contd.)

Today is Rama Navami. The birthday of Rama.

Rama and his brothers have an interesting story that some of you may not be aware of. This concerns his father Dasharatha.
