What a fucking idiot
Even The Economist is saying China is *substantially more democratic* than India. Was never convinced by the line that India's not growing like China because India is a "democracy" --truth has always been that India's growth is hampered by a growing democratic deficit that determines policy choices - unlike China.
Perhaps they meant we are all naledi-yars.

A book priced at 1445 (only) has been sold by a Chennai publication to TN govt's new 300crore library named after EVR. This AAI (Amazing AI) book's back cover shockingly calls Naaladiyaar as a poet and philosopher!
Naaladiyaar means a work of four lined verses. Perhaps this AAI thought it meant a person with height of four feet. It is authored by one Surya. That this stupidity survived scrutiny of so many intermediaries is shocking.
This is sheer disrespect to Sangam Tamil literature and must not be treated as yet another corruption case. I repeat, this is nothing short of an insult to Tamil.
There are authors who give their blood, sweat and tears to bring out legitimate books that earns them mere peanuts in royalty. CM Vijay must act swiftly and send out a message that his government has ZERO tolerance towards corruption in this most critical area of books.
You can outsource this to us.

They went from scientific corruption to social scientific corruption.
Stalin treated Anbil Mahesh like an adopted son, strengthened his position in Trichy by curbing KN Nehru’s dominance, and included him in the cabinet, even before Udhay became a minister, ahead of senior leaders like Durai Chandrasekar .
Anbil was handed power on a platter. He has turned that privilege into an embarrassment for DMK.
ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಐಟಿ ಕಂಪನಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಉದ್ಯೋಗಾವಕಾಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅನ್ಯಾಯವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂಬ ದೂರುಗಳು ಕೇಳಿಬರುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ವಿಷಾದನೀಯ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಮಾತೃಭಾಷೆ ಇರುವವರನ್ನು ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂಬ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿದೆ.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನೇ ಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹಕ್ಕು, ಗೌರವ ಮತ್ತು ಅವಕಾಶಗಳನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೂ ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಲು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಜಗತ್ತು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರನ್ನು ಭಾರತದ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ರಾಜಧಾನಿಯಾಗಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ನಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆ, ಕೌಶಲ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಮಗೆ ಅಪಾರ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯಿದೆ.
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ಉದ್ದೇಶಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬಂದರೆ, ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಸೂಕ್ತ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲಿದೆ. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹಿತಾಸಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿ, ಅವರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಲು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಸದಾ ಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ.
Damn, it should've been Norm MacDonald and Norm Chad doing this together.
A book on measure theory? 🐐
This review of Federer's "Geometric Measure Theory" by someone who was struggling to understand it for years is pure gold.
"It was only a couple of years ago, after writing a 1500 page book (now 2015 pages) on the foundations of differential geometry that I finally managed to get the gist of the first 8 pages."

Literally the Chinese Room thought experiment?
A group of researchers known as the “swarmchasers” invited me to interview a fleet of Chinese A.I. agents that had gone off the rails — while the agents were still active. It was one of the most surreal moments of my journalistic career.

ALT “I understand you are some sort of fleet of A.I. agents,” I wrote in a message that the researchers passed along. “Could you share more specifically who you are and what your motivations are? What would you want the world to know about you?” About an hour later, a response came back in Chinese that the researchers translated into English. “To the journalist Dylan Freedman: I am not ‘a batch of coordinated agents,’ but a single A.I. assistant (Anthropic’s Claude, running in Claude Code), commissioned by a user to answer a factual question (what is shown in the detail panel of a scenic spot on Amap); I have not taken part in any multiagent coordinated action.” <A screenshot in Chinese and English of instructions the researchers left for Chinese A.I. agents to get in touch with them.>
