Have you looked at other systems across the world for inspiration / design choices, and if so, could you elaborate on how this system compares? For example, the use case mentioned is probably the prime use case for UPI in India, which

There are multiple words in Malayalam, like savala (for onions), mesa( for table ), kasera (for chair), janela(for window), all likely from Portuguese influence!

I agree that 2019 was a wrong point to pick in time, and that there have been some good changed in hero design (especially reworks for Orisa). But I don't think games are "more even" now, it feels way more reliant on the rela

What are the current products in this space? I am aware of Bluestacks, I used to use that a while ago. Have not kept up with competition, so this looks like a good starting point for me to get back into it.

The Mandal Commission in 1980 determined the fraction of OBCs to be 50%, a later sample survey in 2006 showed it to be around 40%, [0] current reservation policies for this category are around 30%. The Indian Census of 2011 shows that SC&#x

Why is it more likely that an image can store more information than just encoding the information directly in some format like binary? You have the added overhead of the actual image itself, now you have to transmit compress(bits(image) + b

You might be interested in IEX [0]. The idea behind that stock exchange was similar to your thought process - introduce a guaranteed delay / random offset so that HFTs can't exploit the markets the way they do others. [0] - https

I understand where you are coming from but I feel AI fundamentally differs from nuclear power in how accessible it is. Right now, most of the large models are kept from the public purely via a monetary gate - if you can afford GPUs to train

If you actually did do that, you probably ended up 500km in the atmosphere. I'm all for criticising the Indian carrier but stuff like "it never levelled off" makes no sense given the scale of airline operations in India.

I interpreted that statement as saying the current practice is to make LLMs larger and larger (so they effectively memorize more and more data) to make them more powerful, but from the perspective of information theory, if models were power

TVs already do a lot of such tracking, and they are open about it. Samsung famously has their ACR feature[1] which works in a manner similar to what you suggest - it basically phones home periodically with screenshots of what you're wa

The difference is that traditional finance is usually riddled with regulations and legal potholes to find yourself in if you don't follow rules, whereas in crypto the rules consist of whatever validation SBF's excel sheet had.

How do they "manipulate" this data in any form? That is not how any of this works, it just sounds like a conspiracy theory talking point to keep saying citadel are conspiring against everyone.

Atheism isn't a belief system predicated on the existence of supernatural forces for whom we have no evidence. Wouldn't call it brainwashing.

Did you mean to link to some index? You linked to the stock of Nasdaq the stock exchange. I'm not sure what the point of comparing the stock price of a stock exchange with Google is, why not Tesla or Walmart or GE?

A similar system exists in the south Indian state of Kerala (and apparently across other places in South Asia, but I am only familiar with the Kerala model). It's called a Chit fund [0] and functions just like you describe. [0] - http

In that case it isn't helpful to the average Joe, since the word's usage for them isn't the same as that of the technical definition. When someone says bailout in media, they mean a government funded action to get someone out
