It's a typo: I meant Hindi-India. In any case, I won't be responding to ultra nationalist, religion supremacist, right wing trolls anymore. So you can take your "edifications" and random articles elsewhere.

Buddhism has no concept of caste. Gita has caste by birth as a central theme. In particular, Gita makes it loud and explicitly clear that even if a person is better at the birth caste duties of a different caste than his own caste duty ( wh

It is not clear that Vedism was created before Jainism, which has a strong archeological presence in South India. There is also speculation that Shaivism is much older and was merged in to Hinduism quite late, some what contemporaneous with

It is fairly standard in Indian right wing media to be dismissive of anything positive of Islamic origin, by constructing a short alternative history as per the writers imagination. So any post Islamic Arab contributions to math would have

This is one of several different glitches and downtime seen this year. A revenue collapse of 40% with a surge in fake verified profiles does not make Twitter better than ever. It is crazy to see a sudden sharp 40% revenue decline being desc

Open AI is one of the actual research organizations promoting AI Safety work. However, this has more to do with funding and the money put up front by the original founders - Elon Musk, Sam Altman etc, who themselves are not AI researchers,

It's a "well defined" term in the crackpot side of AI, represented by lesswrong et al, who are self appointed AI experts who have never published any actual peer reviewed research in AI.

Yes. YC was very well established when he took over after failing with Loopt. YC is paulg and Morris brainchild. You might want to check on the 100X number again. And that's not how success is measured anyway.
