‘Dr.’ of stochastic Triggering

For the uninitiated: it always was and always will be the Indian subcontinent. No such thing as ‘S asia’ has ever existed and shall not.

@ushrit2020 Your spouse will realize that she married a retard. But stay out of our holy places. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What rule applies to atheists like me, who might visit Badri-Kedar out of sheer curiosity, or as reluctant escorts to devout spouses?

@Dbslawn @AdityaSatsangi Demand the land on which the hideous church stands back to build the Ganesh temple that existed there. Bury the terrorist Xavier’s body at sea. Build a holocaust museum there. Impose a 200% duty on Portuguese trade.

@NotTriggerAtAll @AdityaSatsangi I have been saying this for a life. Iam Goan hindu

Portugal is one of the world’s cruelest colonial powers. Portugal must be sanctioned minimum 5% by India. They are the worst ! Their Jesus mythology is same as Isis doctrine.

@NBCNews Cry harder. It’s about India’s 9/11 and the events before/following it.

Since I raised this in Parliament, the violence has not stopped. Hindu and Sikh businesses in Wembley have been smashed up, men beaten in restaurant toilets, four men stabbed on Ealing Road. The perpetrators of the original Holi attack remain largely at large. #BritishHindus

@Plinz In other words, it is doing what it is supposed to do

The homeless industrial complex of SF is the best funded in the world (per capita), and consequently it is producing more homelessness. If social problems could be solved by spending more, SF would have solved them.

The Bollywood thriller is the latest in a series of box-office hits with overt nationalist messaging since India’s Hindu nationalist leader, Narendra Modi, took office in 2014. nbcnews.com/world/asia/aud…

@speaknsee When the first one came, the local Bay Area theater had 2 shows. They were always full. By the next weekend they had moved to 6-8 shows a day. For 2, they have 18 shows on Fri & Sat. #dhurandhar2

I remember when Dhurandhar 1 came out and there were only a couple Theatre's showing it. The closest one was 40 Miles away from me. Now it looks like it's quadrupled it's locations on this for "Dhurandhar The Revenge" THE DHURANDHAR FRENZY IS REAL in the U.S.A

What I like about Diwali, Vaisakhi, Chanukah and Easter celebrations is that there is very little talk of beheading

@EggerDC Not with that attitude it won’t

Not to be a killjoy but that monkey's not gonna learn how to read

@karthik2k2 When you say ‘only Indian’ you mean only Indian in modern times.

Those who saw’A Beautiful Mind’, would remember that John Nash’s doctoral thesis had just 26 pages and 2 references, yet it was instrumental in advancing “Game theory”. What if I told you there is a scientist whose achievement is so astounding that he is perhaps the only Indian to “create” an intersectional branch of science? What if I told you that every year, his name echoes across the hallowed halls of science in foreign lands, but most of our students haven't even heard of him? Aneesur Rahman was born in Hyderabad in British India in 1927. His father was a professor and a philanthropist. His family generously donated their property for the creation of Urdu Hall in Hyderabad. His maternal uncle was a professor too. Rahman had a natural flair for subjects that would terrify ‘normal’ students — maths and physics. After getting BSc in Mathematics, he went on to get Tripos in Mathematics and Physics at the prestigious Cambridge University in the UK. From there, he went to Louvaine University in Belgium and got DSc in Physics under Professor Mannenbeck. It’s here that Rahman met a Chinese student Yueh-Erh Li who was doing MD( called Dr Jady by friends). They fell in love and got married. He came back to teach in Osmania university along with his wife. Soon after, he developed interest in the structure of water molecule - especially the polarisation of the hydrogen atom. Unfortunately research in India was at infancy in those days and Dr Rahman realized he was a whale in a tiny pond. He had to move to the ocean. He joined the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. His foundational paper in 1964 birthed “molecular dynamics” , one of the two pillars on which a vast body of computational physics rests.(the other is Monte Carlo method). His equation made it possible to calculate the trajectory of large number of interacting atoms with ease. His work, like Ramanujan’s , was so ahead of his time - that even today, potential applications are being discovered. The Nobel prize in physics for 2013 went to Karplus, Levitt and Warshel whose work depended heavily on Dr Aneesur Rahman’s. Some say there is an inverse association between genius and compassion -Dr Rahman was a prominent exception. He was known not just for his intellect, but also kind nature and mentored many students all over the world. His quiet, unassuming nature made him a much loved professor — and he remained so, until he got Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma — a cancer that took him away from us prematurely, at the age of 59. Perhaps he might have got a Nobel, if only he had lived longer. American Physical Society honors him as the father of computational physics and has instituted an annual award in his name. As a doctor with little idea of theoretical physics, writing Dr Aneesur Rahman’s portrait has been difficult , because of the complex nature of his work that straddles so many areas of science : mathematics, physics, computer science and chemistry. His equations are mind boggling, even intimidating, but what I do understand is this : Dr Rahman didn't just have a beautiful mind, but also a beautiful heart.

@ylecun I can show you a chart of which president added what debt but you will ignore it just like you do the evidence that contradicts your deeply held beliefs on deep learning.

Tired of winning

@GaryMarcus It’s not as shocking as expected? The tokens of the new language are completely diff than the ones from, say Python, they won’t produce anywhere near the same results.

Pretty shocking result (that once again confirms what I wrote about the perils of distribution shift, 25 years ago): Translate coding benchmarks into languages LLMs can’t memorize and performance utterly falls apart.

The Brutal Goa Inquisition led by the Catholic Church. Never forget

@NizNellie3 @judyannaggie Why is that Hamas sympathizer that harasses Jewish students at Columbia still in the USA?

🚨 Qatar-owned Georgetown University professor Badar Khan Suri, a non-citizen from India, was arrested by ICE for alleged ties to Hamas and promoting their propaganda after Oct 7. His wife is the daughter of a former Hamas official. He delivers an Oscar-worthy performance, claiming that ICE abducted and “disappeared” him. He’s been deemed “deportable” by a federal judge. He’s still here. He’s still employed by Georgetown.

Burn down Langley, salt the earth, start afresh!

@ChrisO_wiki lol I hope we attack mainland Denmark and bring democracy to the banana republic

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

@pmddomingos At this point, they just seem to be out of ideas

ACM continues its string of premature Turing Awards for technology that hasn’t succeeded yet.

@pmddomingos Unfortunately Newell passed away early, but I think that he came the closest.

@NotTriggerAtAll Same. The founders of AI were crazy, and that’s why they made history.

Geoff Hinton set out to figure out how the brain works and failed. Andrew Ng set out to build a complete robot and failed. Demis Hassabis set out to achieve AGI using deep RL and failed. Yet they all succeeded.

@rickykej @airindia The biggest criminal negligents are not airindia but @IndiGo6E

Wow.. @airindia is at it again. Definitely the biggest scoundrels and cheats. Constant lapses, criminal negligence, crash, safety issues. Today my band is travelling to Delhi for a concert. We had business class ticket from Bengaluru on the 9.55am flight. I just arrived at the airport and was told with ZERO intimation that the flight is cancelled and I am moved to the 10pm flight.. without any assurance. Staff is not at all helpful, and there is no answers, reasons or any scope of discussion. How is this constantly allowed to happen @airindia @DGCAIndia @tourismgoi @MoCA_GoI @BLRAirport @AirIndiaX
