#AskThePavilion Govind from Bangalore. The best show on cricket today, highly analytical and intelligent. My Q: who in the current Pakistan lineup can be promoted to play an aggressor role like Rohit, Quinton, Gurbaz on these flat decks?

@govindethiraj Instead of stricter controls when granting a driver’s license, now we’ll reduce the max speed by 30%. Simpler solution, no?

@ETNOWlive @RajanAnandan @sama @OpenAI The question was can you build a model with $10m, well you can train a model with $250, and we have seen some models forked like dolly2 can be trained much cheaper. I don’t think we should spend resources to build foundational models scratch. Just use #opensource

1/6 @wef2023 bemoans the "polycrisis" - but I've been thinking about the poly-solutions - interconnectedness of climate justice, economic opportunity, digital literacy demands that we can't solve one without solving all. Common threads are human dignity and protecting our planet.

So there’s a lot of comments about @lexfridman’s reading list. The real question aren’t about him, but about a whole education system that believes you can just skip humanities in the pursuit of science. As if science was a an end in itself and not in the service of humanity.
Lex Fridman@lexfridman

I'm reading a book a week in 2023. Classics, sci-fi, nonfiction, or anything people highly recommend. I'll keep adjusting the list. Start on Monday, done by Sunday. Might make lowkey videos of takeaways. If you want to read along, the current list is here: lexfridman.com/reading-list

The degree to which Marriott ownership has cheapened the experience of once (and, in terms of the building/location, still) legendary hotels is so disappointing.

@RaghavMadhukar Is there a case for banks lending indiscriminately because there is insurance to cover the saving deposits?

Since a generous deposit insurance program should discourage against bank runs in the first place, they should be fairly inexpensive for governments to implement. Because in this case, the sheer existence of the insurance prevents the very calamity it seeks to protect!

@ChinmayiSharma @lawfareblog Excellent article on issues of #OpenSource. Good advice "Designing an institutional framework that would secure open source requires addressing adverse incentives, ensuring efficient resource allocation, and imposing minimum standards"
