On 9th October, China hasn't just dropped rare earth export controls on the US. They are wide-ranging (and self-harming in my view). They affect many sectors in all countries. Here's a summary of the seven actions taken.
The best weather data chart for Bengaluru. Should be replicated for every Indian city.
Rude prompts to LLMs consistently lead to better results than polite ones 🤯 The authors found that very polite and polite tones reduced accuracy, while neutral, rude, and very rude tones improved it. Statistical tests confirmed that the differences were significant, not…
Re-up. Add to this point that @tarunsmehta made: total cost of rare earth magnets in a 2W is less than ₹200. With enough consistent demand from the automotive segment, China can be displaced even if the costs of magnet production increase by 2x or 3x.
We called it. There was much euphoria from the US administration in June after the deal giving six-month licenses to US companies to access Chinese rare earths. Back then, we had written in @IndiasWorld_mag that: "The deal only provides a six-month license to US companies, after…

Hennur Bagalur Road yet again. Street lights exist but are not switched on at night. Looks like the government is waiting for another grisly accident. The CM inspected this road a week ago. No change. @Hennurutrps1234 @HennurT @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @BbmpEast @DeoBbmpnorth
Too many criticisms of foreign policy go “India made the wrong decision X years ago because of what happened this year”. This is nonsense. The question is what were the net benefits in the interim, and were there better alternatives *then*.
Good to see the pushback against ridiculous policies on imports. Forget rent-seeking. Just think about the kinds of things that imports need in India today: - pay higher tariffs since 2017-18 - comply with Quality Control Orders - for electronics, upload data sheets and get…
