You need update your browser and your phone/laptop operating system. Now. Because this is some serious shit. The internet relies on digital certificates to prove websites are genuine. Eight eMudhra certificates have been distrusted worldwide after their secret keys were found to be crackable. Imagine it like someone forging passports that border control can’t tell are fake. Browsers have already moved to block them. Updating makes sure the fix reaches you.

#BREAKING #SupremeCourt declares that right to access and use the internet is a fundamental right of every individual, including children. Children, irrespective of their age, enjoy the same right to access and use the internet.

A mindset of abundance automatically means a tolerance for a central percentage of fraud and mistakes with the calculus being that the outcomes form the rest will far outweigh the negatives from these two aspects. This is something the Indian state doesn’t get. Hence all policies are tailored for zero errors/frauds in mind ending up with underutilised policy and underperforming national missions. Like the AI mission. 🔹Ideally the govt should’ve bought and paid for at a higher rate more subsidized GPU hours from the CSPs so that they don’t have to rush to high margin markets to cover up for the unrealistic low rates given to GOI. 🔹They should’ve kept a lower threshold for entry of AI project teams to utilise the India AI stack. The rules seem to have been kept with a presumption that many out there are to use subsidized GPU hours for irrelevant stuff. 🔹 There’s no sync or ability of free flow of capital between the different funding channels. Let’s say the commercial GPU compute cost estimate for a project is ₹2 cr. And at subsidized rates it is available to an academic project for ₹30 lakhs. The project team still has to find the ₹30 lakhs from some funding source. Where? PMRF? RDIF? Ministry grants? CSR funding? Industrial consultancy? Where? These gaps left infilled lead to inefficient mission outcomes. You have a bunch of CSPs with unused GPUs looking for high margin markets and a bunch of AI startups and academic research groups with no GPU compute access to pursue their research. Penny wise pound foolish.

I’m shocked to learn of the denial of permission by @MIB_India for 31 films that had been selected for screening at the prestigious 18th International Documentary and Short Film Festival in Kerala, which is scheduled in Thiruvananthapuram next week. This is not only a betrayal of India’s proud tradition of offering a home to the best of world cinema, but an assault on the freedom of expression that is amongst the greatest assets of our democracy. The government risks shredding our country’s already frayed image globally amongst creative artists, film-makers, writers and those who want to admire their work. @AshwiniVaishnaw please overrule the bureaucrats who have taken such an appalling decision!
