@ByRakeshSimha Wasn't vietnam supported by russia, because of cold war? US did the same thing to soviets attacked afganistan....

WHY NORWAY THINKS INDIANS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN SNAKES Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen referred to Indians as worse than snakes. Do you know why Norwegian elites hate Indians so intensely? Read on. In an email dated December 25, 2015, and sent to Jeffrey Epstein, Rød-Larsen says, "Have you heard the saying: when you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first!" Norway (not Sweden's Nobel Committee) awards the Nobel Peace Prize. While all the other Nobels are awarded by Sweden, the peace prize decision was left to Norway by the dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel because Norway is a sister Scandinavian country. Norwegian elites are closely connected to the British elites. Plus, Norway is a key member of Western military alliances like NATO. So in the 1940s, Norway denied to Nobel Peace Prize to the "freedom fighter" Mohandas Gandhi so as not to embarrass Britain. Today, most Indians know Gandhi was a charlatan. His advocacy of absolute nonviolence disarmed Hindus and protected the British and Muslims. Had Indians not been swayed by Gandhi, an armed revolution (like Vietnam or Algeria) would have killed thousands of British colonialists. But Gandhi saved the foreign invaders from Indian anger. By that factor alone, he was a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace Prize. And yet Norway decided not to honour him. This legacy of awarding or not awarding the Nobel Peace Prize based on political expediency continues. Norway will never give it to a person who genuinely contributes to peace. But it'll award the prize to mass murderers like Henry Kissinger because by doing so it contributes to the strengthening of the West. Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after he ordered the strategic bombing of Vietnam which killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians in weeks. American napalm bombs were designed to burn people and Agent Orange was biological warfare aimed at turning Vietnam's forests into deserts. Kissinger accepted the prize "with humility." India is one of the last few polytheistic countries left on the planet. It is the only non Western country (after China) that has the potential to be the world's largest economy and a superpower. It is entirely natural for Westerners to worry about a non white country like India or China becoming No.1. But worrying about vs actively seeking to destroy a potential rival are two different things. Norway wants to achieve the latter. It wants to take down India and ensure the Western hegemony continues. In this backdrop, Rød-Larsen's remark reflects his -- and Norway's -- frustration with India's rise and independent stance.

@dharmeshba Also, a peculiar habit of kirana store owners is, claiming always that they are in loss and no margin, they are just somehow surviving by god's grace. My family is 3rd generation shop moguls, and there are a lot of people with similar stories. (Tier 2/3 cities btw...)

@dharmeshba To fulfill customer orders. My one side of the family is into the whole groceries and consumables ecosystem. One who owns the shop, thrives.. There are a lot more nuances that are on table like cash dealing (no tax), returning expired products to the manufacturer, advertisement.

Everyone blames quick commerce for killing kirana stores. But the truth is that they were already dying. Zepto just sped up the funeral. I met R in Tiruppur two years back. She's run a grocery shop for 18 years. Here's her business model: She borrows from moneylenders at 10% interest every 45 days. Do the math. And yet she offers products on credit to her customers at 0%. She tracks the outstanding through hand written cards where they pay weekly. 25% of her customers were on credit. Some haven't cleared their COVID dues. She doesn't chase them. "If we force them too much, they stop coming to our shop." Technically she's running a micro-finance operation that happens to sell rice, poha and dal. I asked about her son. He's in Chennai, studying pharmacy. Will he take over the shop? "No. He'll start something there." I've interviewed dozens of small business owners. I've learned one diagnostic question that reveals everything: Would you want your children to take over? When the answer is a firm no, you're looking at a dying business. Run the actual P&L. Account for credit defaults, damaged stock, expired goods, interest payments. The math never worked. These aren't businesses. They're cash flow loops that families stay trapped in until the next generation finds an exit. R doesn't need better inventory software or a delivery app. She needs her son to graduate so she can finally stop.

Don't book an indigo flight for the next two weeks, at least. You will definitely regret it.

I feel, exposure to legacy projects is very rewarding for a beginner's journey, right ?

Why are developers not a fan of legacy code modernization projects or debugging them ? I find it entertaining and TONs of things to learn from 👌. working with java XML flows (jaxb) which are triggered through message queues. Although debugging is a bitch but very entertaining

@VishakhRanotra Congratulations 👏!!!

New machine day at the factory is easily one of my favourite days! Most of you got it right.

@archiexzzz @grok, what's your opinion

The best way to 'get your spark back' is burning everything down. You have to reset your life. You have to reset your mind. You have to let go of everything you were, everything you had, every lie you told yourself. Then, something else can take their place. Only a few do it. They let go of years and decades, wins and failures, skills and pride- to go somewhere new. It's hard, but simple. You can restart any time you want. Any time you have the strength. There's no feeling like it. Beauty starts with a blank slate. And a blank slate starts with the fiery destruction of your entire existence. Eventually, that inferno turns from pain to warmth. You sit there for a while. Basking in it. Then, The Idea hits you. And you're never the same again.

I built a script that gives me a fake phone call to escape boring and awkward situations. I bought a virtual number from @twilio and saved it as one of my relatives. Whenever I feel stuck, I just tap a button called “ESCAPE” on my phone. It sends a request to my remote server. The server runs a small Python script which schedules an actual call. After a minute, my phone rings and plays a pre-recorded audio. I simply say “sorry, I’m getting a call” and walk away. A tiny project, but it has saved me so many times 😅

@levelsio What about the M series chipset for macbook though? Aren't they fairly recent, 2020 ? It's a pretty big revolution in the laptop world, they are the first ones to make RISK architecture mainstream instead of CISK... Iphones are a let down though apart from chipset.

The last "real" innovation by Apple with iPhones was almost a decade ago Imagine releasing the same iPhone for a decade every year as if it's new? It's a joke really Complete corporate paralysis

Well, I do wish, I can get the markdown or latex or html code after creating my doc on notion.

Well explained 👌👌

@21prnv a proud of tuf a15 ryzen 7.

Faced the same prob. yeah, restart doesn't work and neither will installing drivers. Well, opened my laptop, cleaned A LOT, fans, heat sink etc... changed the thermal paste (thermal grizzley), reattached the wifi and bluetooth driver and its working again! However, if your laptop is more than 3 years old, be careful, while unscrewing, since, the screws might be metal but the hinges are plastic, subject to wear and tear. Beware of the hinges of screen. It working for me again! (fyi, i always keep tp link wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.4, so work doesn't get hampered in any OS or device due to driver issues or inbuilt device port problems)

Do not buy the Asus TUF laptops. I'm saying again, do not buy Asus TUF laptops. Fuck you asus ur killing my productivity

BlackRock just released `AlphaAgents` for building equity portfolios. Few months back, in my prev work, i created exactly same workflow engine to build Equity portfolio where i used: > Magnetic one's architecture for multi-agentic system > Research agent: pulls financial data > Research agent: pulls user/analyst/market sentiment > SA agent: data cleanup -> searches and retrieves important data -> uses gpt4o for summarisation the most important part: > Consensus Group: gets historical data, trends -> runs simulations -> computes heavy calculations on data > computes monte carlo, rolling sharpe ratio, alpha, beta etc. > all three sub-agents(analysts with diff model+temp+prompt) does conversation 5 times -> trying to find pros, and cons of each analysis. > this acts as a consensus where all three AI analysts fix on the best equity analysis > Leader Agent: coordinates, and takes care of the progress, and task ledgers to update and resume in case of any failure.
