It's unfortunate that an independent transparency activist chooses to use the verb "win" with the pronoun "we". AFAIK, we elect the government, not win elections.

This is *exactly* the Opposition unity we need to built if we’re unseat the fascist duo & win 2024. Only a Congress-led coalition of parties can stand collectively against the muscle & money of the BJP & bring them down. Always the bigger picture matters. Very well done.



I have always opined that Nobel winners of future will be more about tools and techniques.

Will #AlphaFold be the first AI to win a Nobel Prize?

Just as we teach children to observe physical hygiene for its benefits to our health, we need to teach them to cultivate emotional hygiene. They need to learn how to tackle their destructive emotions and achieve peace of mind.

A way to describe intelligence is that it is the power to produce abstraction. AI in the true sense would be Autonomous Abstraction. Current AI consists of recording abstractions generated by the human mind (via hard-coding rules, training ML models on human-labeled data, etc).


Is there a programming language/paradigm with consumption <1? Just thinking out loud.

"Is optimization the right language to understand the brain?" is a famous controversy in neuroscience. My new blog post asks if optimization is the right language even to understand deep learning? (TL;DR: let's think: trajectories!) offconvex.org/2019/06/03/tra…
