   I use a QR code based app locking mechanism that blocks browsers and some apps. I never turn it back on. That's all. I use a regular smartphone. I heard this quote in many American movies: "The first way to get rid of addiction is

   Something should be noted: equality didn't save them. They grew more equal, maybe. But that couldn't save them from barbaric hordes/drought/a combination of these or more. They became extinct. To an "educated",

   The maths in the book where these students and scholars stayed in Anathem, were directly inspired by matths in India. I visited one last month.

   Mine, too. Cryptonomicon was the gateway drug. But I loved 'Anathem'.

   This is nothing new. It is ancient. Ancient Hindus divided life into four parts, the earliest was called "Brahmacharya" - core tenet of it was celibacy, but sons of kings and rich merchants lived ascetic lives in the teacher'

   I will just stick with Kindles. Indian heat and humidity make a Kindle unusable in 7-8 years, unless you have a 100% AC life. Kindles last a month on a charge or two. It's very light. It's affordable. It doesn’t show colors, but I

   It has replaced VS Code for my for my work and side projects. I don't use AI tools in 90% of the projects. It's snappy, fast, everything just works. I have the vim mode turned on while editing.

    I will keep learning fundamentals. I studied Physics fundamentals even though I had a microwave or could buy an airplane ticket. And I deeply enjoyed it. I still do. I will keep doing it with CS fundamentals. Simply because I enjoy it too m

    Yeah. Many seem to forget it. For one-off computation tasks, NumPy, PyTorch, JAX have non-trivial overhead, and might even be slower than vanilla Python. Only when repetition, loops, etc. come into the picture, which is recurring in many pe

    Man, just do the practices. There is no ethical teaching from a high pedestal in this book. This book teaches a practical meditation technique. Practice it enough, you will start seeing minor benefits.

    There is a fundamental difference in consuming short form content, and reading a book- no matter how trashy the book is. When reading for long hours, or for a short time over days and weeks- it teaches you to concentrate, to have some kind

    Not all Western sci-fi are gadget dangling spaceship displays. That might have appeared as the trend to Lem, and I don't blame him. I have only Solaris that's by him, and gotta admit- it's on another level.

    Have you been living under a rock? US under Trump is cuddling up to Pakistan, and not India. India is facing among the highest tariffs for exporting to the US, and the narrative from the US Prez and cabinet has been visibly caustic on India
