@IndiGo6E @AnilAga15534965 Completely understand it’s not okay to share the flight delay information to passengers in advance. So that passengers could make alternative arrangements. Only lunch was provided. Weather can’t be controlled but service to passengers definitely could be improved.

@AnilAga15534965 We hope you understand that it is beyond our control. Further, we have duly noted your feedback, We look forward to your understanding. ~Dhruv (2/2)

@IndiGo6E Your service level is now disaster. Booked Mumbai Delhi flight 6E 993 which was supposed to depart at 14:15. On boarding pass it mention 16:25 but all display board reflects on time. Waited an hour at boarding gate and then you announced it will depart at 17:45

The pain and agony from this 🥲

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Gita Mehta, eminent author, war correspondent, daughter of the legendary Biju & Gyan Patnaik, sister of businessman Prem & Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik. Having been close family friends, i recall her wit & intelligence as a great raconteur & alongwith her late husband, publishing titan Sonny Mehta, her many kindnesses & wonderful hospitality. A charismatic, opinionated, fiesty personality, she will be greatly missed. With deepest condolences to the family & prayers for the departed soul. Om Shanti 🙏🙏🙏

@srishtitechts Lol that’s cute. Try banagalore 😭😭😭

It’s only in Mumbai where 1km can take 20mins to travel. Why?!?!

+ Road trips: if you are the kind who likes to go on a monthly drive out, I'd approach EVs with caution. Having a ICE (internal combustion engine) car as a back up is essential. Highway charging is both sparce and unreliable at the moment, and everyone in India knows our poor electricity infra outside the metros. I've driven into a HP coco petrol pump with 2 50w dc chargers on a highway, only to be told "sir power cut chal raha hain". Also, you'd have to manage range by driving steadily if you're not 100% sure of charging stations. Overall, do it if you're adventurous, but this is not for the faint of heart. 🙈

I was surprised by a talk Yejin Choi (an NLP expert) gave yesterday in Berkeley, on some surprising weaknesses of GPT4: As many humans know, 237*757=179,409 but GPT4 said 179,289. For the easy problem of multiplying two 3 digit numbers, they measured GPT4 accuracy being only 59% accuracy on 3 digit number multiplication. Only 4% on 4 digit number multiplication and zero on 5x5. Adding scratchpad helped GPT4 but only to 92% accuracy on multiplying two 3 digit numbers. Even more surprisingly, finetuning GPT3 on 1.8m examples of 3 digit multiplication still only gives 55 percent test accuracy (in distribution). ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯ So whats going on? Multiplication is algorithmically very challenging (as are less known algorithmic problems). The authors hypothesize that Transformers have a hard time because they learn linear patterns that they can memorize, maybe compose, but not generally reason with. The paper raises interesting theoretical and practical questions on understanding what Transformers can learn. The paper "Faith and Fate: Limits of Transformers on Compositionality" says: "Our empirical findings suggest that Transformers solve compositional tasks by reducing multi-step compositional reasoning into linearized subgraph matching, without necessarily developing systematic problem solving skills"

@RaoSumukh First world problems. On the other hand, my concern is that lighting connector earphones will be redundant with C type connectors

I was telling a friend (an iPhone user) how I'm so happy the iPhone 15 is finally getting USB-C. He was utterly disappointed at the move and said "now Apple will lose it's value since I can't ask someone specifically if they have an iPhone charger." Indian iPhone users 🤷🏻

@anurag_knows @RaoSumukh The purpose of introducing this is to standardise charging technology and reduce e-wastage as per EU mandates especially. What you said cannot happen.

@RaoSumukh I don’t think random Android C type chargers will work with iPhone. My iPad Air 4 has C port but I hardly can ever charge it with my android chargers. Only the stock charger charges it optimally. Expecting something similar with the 15.

Python is removing the GIL. The GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) prevents you from running multi-threaded code. That makes ML code, in particular, really hard to write in pure Python. Here's what it takes to remove the GIL:

🚨 Woah. An intentional backdoor discovered in encrypted radio comms used globally for over 25 years. Buckle up!

Biomass is the SCAM that we all fell for Biomass is not carbon neutral, sustainable or green 🪵 Let's debunk the myth of biomass as a climate friendly energy source, and explore why even 'green' countries like Denmark may not be as eco-friendly as they seem. A thread 🧵 (1/17)
