@PhiloCrocodile @khoomeik HTR is a more general case that can also deal with handwritten text

my PhD advisor once told me that he can mould people in various ways in the 5 years they spend with him, but the one thing that simply doesn't move is their basal motivation level

Topic in the Book Club was Quarrel. Enjoyed reading from the translated Sanskrit poetry collection by @AnushaSRao2 & @suhasm , a delightful selection of poems. Stumbled upon it through the @bicblr Podcast. Worth a listen and the book is a must on every poetry lover's bookshelf.

Can anyone explain: @internetarchive lost in court against Hachette, but books are still available to borrow on the website. How?

Similar: Steven Chu had no papers and no results from his PhD, but Berkeley hired him as faculty. Nobel in 1997 for laser cooling. Difficult to differentiate top 0.1% from top 1%, but the 0.001% just hits you in the face.

When Ken Wilson received tenure from Cornell, he had one(1) submitted paper. Obviously it was the right decision as Wilson went on to revolutionize physics

@nickeltingupta LoRs are now so exaggerated that they carry little signal. Everyone is now top 1%, everyone is a rising star

[Suhas Mahesh @suhasm]

the difficulty of identifying talent:

John Jumper had no well-cited first author pubs or awards for several years after his PhD. Would have been ignored by most fellowships, awards. Now suddenly a Nobel less than 10 years after PhD.

@kmadathil Von Hinuber (I think) presents another etymology: nR-gara where gara is a word hypothesized to be a collection or a coming together, also seen in saMgara (coming together of two collections of people) which is parallel to saMgrAma (two villages coming together)

"How do you say "I love you" in Sanskrit?
You don't.
That is not how the 'Sanskritic" mind works."

I chatted with @suhasm and @AnushaSRao2 about their delightful book, "How to Love in Sanskrit" at the @bicblr

‘The overwhelming obsession of poets in Sanskrit and Prakrit has been love.’

At @IHCDelhi #Samanvay2025, authors @AnushaSRao2 and @suhasm join #ProfAnamika and #ProfSavitaSingh for a fascinating discussion on their book, #HowToLoveInSanskrit. The session unpacks the many languages of love—how words shape emotion, intimacy, and connection across time and cultures.
