Why would you wait for dust to settle down? Just curious. Productivity gains are real in current form of LLMs. Guardrails and best practices can be learnt and self imposed.

Almost none. Even if this situation prolongs, it will only affect the bordering areas in the north. India cannot afford a war if it wants to grow as it projects itself on the international stage as an alternative to China. Pakistan cannot afford it financially.

I am Indian. Not sure if this is because there are too many of us but except for part of cities these days, social connections like these are normal.

I have at least a dozen neighbours, I can walk in (uninvited), have tea and gossip. And not all of them are necessarily my friends. Some are.

Pretty much everyone I know has their little neighbourhood circle like this.

It’s not uncommon for Hindus from northern India to worship Sikh Gurus alongside their own deities. Similarly Sikhs often visit Hindu temples. This is generally not seen as unusual.

While there have been some instances of tension between the two communities, things are not as bad as media might suggest.

Maybe it's just my echo chamber but people in India seemed more pro-Trump. This is despite Kamala having Indian roots. People usually take pride when anyone with Indian ancestry doing great on the world stage.

I do drink occasionally but I can go forever without drinking. It doesn’t bother me.

My relationship with smoking is different though. I smoke on occasion but I crave it for the next day or two. If someone told me smoking was healthy, I would start today.

I strongly advise against getting into casual smoking.

>I had to do a heuristic layer on top to break up the PDFs into small chunks so the output didn’t overflow

How do you stitch the outputs of all chunks without losing the overall context?

What’s your experience with API cost? I've also tried something similar, but I often end up using up my balance too quickly.

> Microsoft has access to almost everything OpenAI does. And now Altman and Brockman will have that access too.

Microsoft still has to deal with OpenAI as an entity to keep the existing set up intact. The new team has to kinda start from zero. Right?

Sure let’s start from your post title itself. What “authentic” source do you have that the origin of this is BJP IT cell?

Also the post has been editorialised. Sure parties have IT cells doing all kind of things to build narratives, but I am not so sure if there are basis for the inference in this case.

Even if political, I personally expect better on HN.

Is it the same research that put Pakistan and Afghanistan way above India?

Last I checked India was home for second largest Muslim population, and population has only been growing, more than other sections of societies in India.

Sure things aren’t same for Muslims post 2014 and people should raise their voice. However for every Muslim atrocity, there is one against Hindus or any other religion. Should we take comfort in that? Absolutely no, but this genocide nonsense is utter rubbish.
