@kapilansh_twt No, it doesn't seem so. Websites these days are backed with fancy tech. Every tab for sure is taking over 100-200 MB RAM. How many tabs have you opened?
I just opened YT on Chrome and it's taking 372 MB alone, X taking 277 MB, 3 tabs of LeetCode taking ~700 MB. Sum = ~1.3 GB.
A teenage prodigy in quantum physics is aiming to tackle one of science’s biggest challenges: human aging.
Laurent Simons earned his PhD in quantum physics from the University of Antwerp at just 15. Rather than slowing down, he has already begun a second doctorate, this time focusing on medical science and artificial intelligence.
His long-term ambition is to better understand aging and disease, with the hope of helping extend healthy human lifespan. He has described death as a complex “puzzle,” made up of many interconnected pieces across biology, physics, and engineering. His strategy is to study these layers together, using AI to analyze biological systems and identify patterns that would be difficult to detect otherwise.
Simons’ academic journey has been unusually fast. He completed high school by age 8, finished a bachelor’s degree at 12, and went on to earn both a master’s and PhD in quantum physics years ahead of typical timelines. His doctoral work explored advanced topics like Bose–Einstein condensates, where atoms behave as a single quantum system at extremely low temperatures.
Although highly theoretical, this research underpins technologies such as quantum computing and precision measurement. Now, his focus is shifting toward biology and medicine.
In AI-driven healthcare, researchers are already using machine learning to improve early disease detection, model protein structures, and accelerate drug development. In the field of aging, scientists are investigating ways to reduce cellular damage, eliminate dysfunctional cells, and better understand how the body changes over time.
However, experts stress that “solving aging” is extraordinarily complex. While lifespan extension has been achieved in simple organisms, applying those findings to humans remains a major scientific hurdle.
Simons himself acknowledges that meaningful progress could take decades. Even so, his path reflects a broader trend in science—where breakthroughs are increasingly happening at the intersection of disciplines, and younger researchers are setting ambitious, long-term goals.

Meet Jenny
When engineering students open DBMS, OS, or Computer Networks books,
their soul leaves their body.
Then they open Jenny’s Lectures.
And suddenly everything starts making sense.
Her videos are probably the most watched videos:
1 day before exam
1 night before viva
2 hours before internal
30 minutes before panic
Every video starts with
“Hello students”
And ends with
“So this is very important for exam”
She is probably the only teacher
who appears in more exam nights
than most students appear in college.
Some teachers teach classes.
Some teachers save degrees.
@iyoushetwt I can pretty smoothly run VSCode, Chrome with many tabs, Copilot, Spotify, and Word together, and it still works smoothly on Win11. Depends on other specs like processor speed, RAM's DDR, and storage access speed.

India's Supreme Court has banned a school textbook after a chapter in it made a reference to corruption in the judiciary.
All copies must be seized, digital versions removed, and those responsible summoned.
According to reports, the text refers to "corruption at various levels of the judiciary" and also highlights a "massive backlog" of cases.
@bearlyai I'm a Stack Overflow user with 7.8k rep, and I want to say that its environment is really unwelcoming for new users. I have seen many valid and okayish questions being closed with downvotes and repetitive comments like "please go through the how-to-ask guide."
ChatGPT won in it.
Stack Overflow has seen the number of monthly questions on its platform collapse from 300k to ~0 since launch of ChatGPT.
But annual revenue is acrually up 2x over that span to $115m.
How? It has licensed its back-catalog of human answers to AI labs and created an enterprise product called “Stack Internal”, a GenAI tool powered by millions of its Q&A (currently used by 25,000 companies).

@Ravisutanjani My brother worked for the government stuff. He has a strong knowledge of UI-UX.
The developers are not the issue here. It's the client. They want things like that. Developers are compelled (ordered) to produce exactly as the client wishes.
🚨 Why Govt Services are Mostly Below Average?
• Poor Network From BSNL
• Dirty Washrooms in Trains
• Food Quality of IRCTC
• Airports Managed By AAI
• Bad UI of Websites
• Rejection and Delays By EPFO
What's Stopping Them From Delivering Best?
@theandreiverdes But, doesn't freelancing need an attractive profile at first? I have no official experience and am still studying in college. How do I quit the upcoming 9-to-5?
My coworker got promoted over me.
He was worse at coding. Better at politics.
I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.
He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.
He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".
That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.
Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.
Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.
The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.
Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.
If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.
Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.
@TimesAlgebraIND Meat is not supposed to be eaten by us by encaging animals and leaving no way to parole their death sentence. Personal choices should be limited within ourselves; they shouldn't harm others.
