thank you Wikipedia for helping me understand Mao's legacy as a political intellect, theorist, military strategist, poet, and visionary who drove imperialism out of China, improved literacy, and significantly reduced poverty very enlightening
recently a gnome trapped me in a time loop and refused to let me out until i produced a full century of fake 'new yorker' comics, one for each decade. here they are, in order: 1923:
Hey @Amul_Coop, you didn't create a topical when Humpy became World Rapid Champion. This time, please create one for Divya Deshmukh. I am offering a readymade tagline as well - Maska-Chesska. Friends, feel free to send your tagline suggestions to @Amul_Coop in reply.
Hey @Amul_Coop, where's the Amul Topical on @humpy_koneru becoming World Rapid Chess Champion?

"oh geeze, I forgot my driver's license" "I'm sorry, sir; i can't let you purchase alcohol without age verification." "will you accept a full recitation of the Ducktales theme?" "from memory?"
So, Indian players pack flags in their luggage, but Chinese don't.

grAy = America grEy = Everywhere Else
Not gonna lie, to this day, idk the difference between gray and grey, I just wing it
This is an unfortunate and avoidable error. Divya may become that in future, but right now she is World Cup Winner.

I don't know if FIDE will ask this question to Divya, but if they do, my guess is her win against Zhu Jiner was the pivotal moment of the tournament for her.
In which round did you realize you have a chance of winning the World Cup?
I sent this to a friend, who is a partner at a prominent law firm. Their response, verbatim: “lol no. We’ve tried all the frontier models. It’s useful for doing a first pass on low level stuff, but makes tons of mistakes and associate has to check everything.”
A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”
First woman from Maharashtra and fourth woman from India to achieve Grand Master title. She entered the tournament with no GM norms and ended with the GM title!
Divya wins World Cup. Also, now it's Grand Master Divya Deshmukh!
Divya wins World Cup. Also, now it's Grand Master Divya Deshmukh!
What was to be another draw turns out to be a favourable position for Divya now.

Why do people make claims that can be verified?
Perplexity usage in India growing like 🔥 Keep it coming! Excited to keep improving the product and serve more people’s daily questions. The adoption is clear proof that search has changed forever.
Number of mistakes by AI isn't as critical. It's the types of mistakes and how wrong it is when it is wrong.
Grok will sometimes make mistakes, but fewer over time
Lots people outside software industry think companies can trivially convert money to working software, including one that requires scientific breakthroughs. It's as if they have never come across poor quality software from trillion dollar companies.
TCS has returned ~$25 Billion over last 12 years via dividends, deciding not to reinvest in the business and R&D For context - upto 2024 OpenAI had raised appx same amount in funding
Last evening, I was embarrassed to tip the delivery person Rs 50 in the coins of 20 and 10. I wonder why.
Ah, a tech billionaire, who made his riches during dot com mania, conveniently forgets entire history of ad-driven growth of internet and demands ban on ads as well as price controls.

The chatter around TCS job cuts misses an important detail - the jobs cuts are in the middle and senior levels. Although "AI causes software job losses" narrative is seductive, it's inaccurate. At least, in this case and for now. Dr @anandesh of Persistent has been saying that…
