the reason i still use blender is because the process is so nerve wrecking the outcome feels 2x rewarding

@JoyMaio @AnukramWrites can you stop trying to force misinformation? northeast had been invaded by numerous kingdoms that weren't native and there were indo-aryans who did have scriptures. so if it was true it would definitely have been documented

[papergirl @p4prgrl]

@JoyMaio @AnukramWrites cool doesn't prove anything. the first chillies were brought to India by the Portugese in Goa in the 15th centuries. you're referring to 17th century which is 2 centuries later. Portuguese obviously didn't have to go to all corners of the subcontinent, there was trade.

do hashtags still help how do people on x connect w communities they want

[papergirl @p4prgrl]

@JoyMaio @AnukramWrites no chillies were not native to entirety of asia

[papergirl @p4prgrl]

@JoyMaio @AnukramWrites it was later grown in ne because the weather was suitable but in ne our ancestors used different types of pepper for cooking instead of chillies before

not to be a fucking nerd or anything but writing academic papers is actually super fun when you have a genuine interest in the topic

Really cool

One thing I absolutely admire about @SarvamAI is how they've built a distinctly Indian design-oriented product in the tech industry. I absolutely love how they've embraced minimalism through line drawings inspired by native elements.

I'd personally love it even more if their iconography also drew inspiration from Indian visual motifs and design traditions.

@weezergeys3r who cares

[papergirl @p4prgrl]

@Saxam_ thank god for fake creative titles keeping my hope in design employment

[papergirl @p4prgrl]

got approached by d e shaw without even applying and it showed me possibilities i didn't initially consider (i didn't take it srs when it happened bcs i didn't know who they were)

psa: don't be an idiot and be a bottleneck in crazy plans the universe has for you

A Ticking Water Bomb: Why Is New Delhi Silent?

Why is New Delhi silent even as China’s own scientists warn of serious geological risks at the site of the world’s largest dam, now being built in one of the world’s most seismically active regions? China is constructing the super-dam just a few miles from India’s border, potentially putting millions of people at risk downstream in India’s northeast, particularly the Assam Plains, The consequences could extend into Bangladesh, located farthest downstream.

In a recent paper published in Sedimentary Geology and Tethyan Geology, a journal overseen by the state-run China Geological Survey, Chinese geologists warned that the dam project (almost three times the size of the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world’s biggest) not only lies along a geological fault, but also the construction site has a “loose structure and weak cohesion.” Fault activity or an earthquake, they warned, could “very easily trigger” instability of the reservoir slopes, affecting the integrity of the entire dam project and nearby infrastructure.

The paper recommends design changes, including reinforcing the reservoir slopes and installing retaining structures. The reservoir will eventually impound a mammoth volume of water from the Yarlung Tsangpo, better known as the Brahmaputra River.

China has learned little from the controversy surrounding the 2008 earthquake that struck the Tibetan Plateau’s eastern rim, killing nearly 90,000 people. Scientists have long debated whether the nearby Zipingpu Dam, completed only a few years before the quake, contributed to the disaster. One influential study concluded that the massive weight of the water in the dam’s 156-meter-high reservoir may have caused severe stresses on the underlying geological fault, or what scientists call reservoir-triggered seismicity (RTS), thereby hastening the earthquake by decades or even centuries.

The risks posed by the new super-dam are significant because it is being built in the Himalayan seismically active belt, where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide. The belt has produced some of Asia’s strongest earthquakes, including the devastating 2025 Myanmar earthquake, whose tremors extended to Thailand, causing the collapse of a high-rise building under construction in Bangkok.

With the lives and livelihoods of millions of northeastern Indians potentially at stake, the least the Indian government should do is demand that China lift the veil of opacity surrounding the super-dam project and allow Indian and other international experts to visit the construction site for an independent scientific assessment.

When a potential water bomb is being assembled upstream, how can downstream silence be justified?

imagine your entire life revolved around going to college to the point where you burnout and develop a crippling fear of failure/learned helplessness, you make it to college and graduate, and you can't find a job and it's your fault because you didn't do enough internships
