Learned about that book from HN, so thanks HN. Of late, I've been reading The Alchemy of Air which revolves around Haber-Bosch process and it's been a delight so far. Highly recommend if you love a mix of non-fiction, history &a

I was doing Masters in the US from 2021-23 and do recall getting their emails to my University email.

Didn't the Soviet invasion of Manchuria also boxed them in? Some Historians(Paul Hamn for once) have said that was the primary reason for the surrender.

With due respect, they probably just asked leetcode-esque and sys design questions.

I also don't expect US to openly admit to a potential F-16 crash. It's just bad for business.

I am not exactly going to worry about things that I can't control. The best I can do is check sources from other side(which are equally bad if not worse) and amplify voices of reason.

I live out of India, so that doesn't really impact me.

I am more than happy to believe that 100 Indian jets were shot as long as there's credible evidence. It's war and casualties are expected.
44.
by sbmthakur 1y ago
Those are fuel tanks, not jets. And their source is "four local government sources". In a conflict fueled with massive disinformation I would rely on something more concrete.

Their claim went from 2 to 3 to 6 to 5. So, I will be careful about such news.

India is likely to authorize more such strikes if terror attacks continue on its territory.
47.
by sbmthakur 1y ago
I know that's just an example but any kind of third party arbitrator has to be trusted by India. As far its territorial integrity is concerned India doesn't trust China or even the US, and this is true across party lines.

Under no circumstances India is ceding any territory to a military run state that has sponsored terrorism in India. If Pakistan is serious they can start by putting PoK on the table and halt all anti Indian activities in their country. That

I wonder how we will train Customer Support to tackle issues faced by LLMs. LLMs can already do basic Customer Support. But stuff like understanding bugs and deciding if they should escalate things to engineers feels like a hard thing for a

Back in my ancestral village the practice was to let cow nurse her calf and get the remaining for the owner's family. This kinda ensured co-existence. The modern dairy industry has all evil practices baked into its operations. It is th

Dairy is the only thing keeping me away from going vegan. Can't really eliminate Whey protein, tea/coffee with milk (it's just a quarter of a cup). Would appreciate pointers if anyone did substitute those.

> Young people should work harder. They are making excuses! What's the expectation when it comes to young people having a family? You certainly can't do both and still maintain a sane mind.

Absolutely had no idea about US preparedness before WW1. Any books that shed more light on it?

So the prices were better because the currency's inflated. I wonder what will be impact on the prices once they switch to USD.

Interest(and by extension Credit) does cause momentary fluctuations in the economy. But saying they are the main factor in economy growth/degrowth is not right. Here's a good video (by Ray Dalio) that goes into detail. https:&#x2
