Well they ought to learn to code /s Or try out braindead jobs like HR /s Jibs aside, the key issue is that a lot of folks just seem to stop learning after a certain point, even if it's their chosen occupation since decades. A

I honestly wonder if American companies are so dense that they think foreign governments don't know of the Cloud Act.

Exactly my point. A single terrorist attack is no grounds for India going "imperial". India has always been very predictable. Pakistan on the other hand remains a volatile mess, and some rogue elements push shit like this once in

I have a quick question about these system prompts. Are these for the Claude API or for the Claude Chat alone?

Conversation partners? More like stooges who'll validate their every thought and kiss their ass along the way. Of all the models I've tried, only Gemini tries to pushback hard whenever I say something wrong or illogical.

> It’s technically illegal for a presidential administration to end this program without Congress, but the same goes for many of Trump’s pronouncements and executive orders. Looks like that's the flavor of the administration today.

If India's going imperial, why would Pakistan bother with hosting terrorist elements to provoke a hostile "belligerent" (according to you) neighbour, and letting them attack a civilian zone? Indian leadership hasn't been

If BiofuelCo can clear those fields rapidly with some tech they developed, then farmers would let them take that waste even for free. Clearing the fields in time is the major constraint here - the window is extremely narrow (like a few week

You could say the same for traditional businesses. Or real estate. Or the farmlands. Even the political parties (for the princely sum of 50,000 quid). The UK is up for sale.

I agree, but if IFB wants to be competitive with the likes of foreign brands in international markets, they really need to step up their game. Instead what I'm seeing is a retreat from international markets. IFB wasn't widely avai

I wasn't talking about the Netherlands per se, but wanted to pinpoint that alternatives exist in places other than the US, which ensure that no kid starves. In fact, my comment was an add-on to yours, as we followed the same system as

Yes, we had the same system when I went to school in a (relatively low-income) expat (Indian) school in the Middle East. But nowhere was a child expected to leave the break hungry - I saw firsthand a teacher ruthlessly scolded by the grade

Mohnish isn't a tech bro though, in my books. After selling his company, guy retreated away from the tech scene to get into Buffett-style value investing. And if you read his book, it's about glorifying the small businessmen runni

Exactly. Venice's govt was not a democracy - the Serene Republic was designed to basically filter in only the most influential, yet had a system of checks and balances so that power wouldn't devolve to just one family (like what h

Practically any Indian electronics company. Many of them with extremely dated designs. Take IFB for instance - it's a native heavy duty home appliances manufacturer in India. Their product is solid and resilient, and in many cases bett

Gemini's Deep Research is very good at discriminating between sources though, in my experience (haven't tried Claude or Perplexity). It finds really obscure but very relevant documents that don't even show up in Google Search

To be fair though, the Alto, while not aesthetically as great, is still more reliable than a BMW hah!

India should at least start off by building aesthetically sound products that people require globally - not just functional products. Just like China did. Vedanta-Foxconn, Adani-Tower, and now Zoho all collapsed because of questions around

You could replace one rich guy with a larger number of average Joe shareholders and still obtain the same results (or better, since average Joes usually tend not to be ego-tripping activist investors).

To be fair, I presume most of the folks getting their tarot cards read at some county fair are usually doing it for the cheap entertainment value rather than actual actionable advice. Pay $10 for a few laughs for some time.

Exactly, which is why banks are loathe to approve such transfers in the first place. I'm wholly surprised that the banking ombudsman is able to force such transaction reversals.
