Syrian christians in Kerala are not related to St.Thomas. Syrian chritians landed in kerala while fleeing arabic invasion of Syria. (7th century)

Also 'martyrdom' of St.Thomas is debated. The earliest mention of martyrdom of St.Thomas originate from 16th century portugese missionaries who operated in india at that time. not backed by any evidence.

do you plan to introduce automation run scheduling? (ex: run these steps once a week)

what if the target machine is not up and running when the scheduler tried to execute the steps?

interesting. i need to guess and try some of the strategies to get some discounts :)

i remember seeing such strategies in action in the past, when i was moving mouse to close the tab, suddenly a popup shows up offering discount, i believe that is one such simple strategy to maximize conversion.

Does a merchant has to give your tool access to their user data to generate personalized discounts? Apart from user activity data, what data do you need for maximum effectiveness?

Is it a pre-requisute for the agents to have access to the source code to generate attack strategies?

How about pen-testing a black box?

Does the potential vulnerabilities list is generated by matching list of vulnerabilities that are publicly disclosed for the framework version of target software stack constituents?

I am new to LLMs or any ML for that matter. Congrats on your launch.

Haggling is expected in some areas.

Vendors expect customer to haggle, so they inflate sometimes as high as 100%. Customers know vendors inflate, so they start haggling right away. vendors get to sold at a desired price, buyer walks away thinking, they got a deal.

kids try to negotiate their punishments, i negotiated a bribe with a traffic cop once.

When haggling is expected and one party doesn't engage, the other party gets frustrated and try to walk away.

There are some pockets of activities where no-haggling is preferred choice. Like branded goods (clothes, travel, automobile), high end real estate. people who are not good at negotiations prefer these options.

I purchased a house from a builder, who is notorious for not engaging in negotiations. I was happy with purchase because i know i got same deal as everyone else and did not lose anything.
