I enjoy probability (probably). Connoisseur of confounding variables.

A lesser talked about phenomenon is the absurd increase in the number of slow-walkers. We’re in a pandemic, folks.

My brother made a fun website: deprecation.org Enter your job and it tells you when you'll be deprecated, and exactly how. For me it's... pretty soon and pretty accurate! He's a very creative person (artist turned frontend dev to pay bills, now obv worried by AI) and this is full of little nuggets and easter eggs. It's an eerie mix of fun and jokes and real worries. Check it out!

A container truck driver in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, mistook a road painted on a wall for an actual expressway and drove straight into it 😳 The collision damaged both the vehicle and the wall. Fortunately, the driver is safe.

I have some vehement disagreements with Jean Dreze and the economics he espouses, but comparing him with Sanjeev Sanyal -- who is at best a rather bromidic fiction writer, is an absolute sacrilege.

Sanyal’s economic policies have fixed the system through process reforms, improved ease of doing business and pushed Indian manufacturing, generating jobs for millions. Imagine comparing him with some mid-wit who rather you dig up holes and fill them up for a meagre daily wage.

If you think the protests in Delhi are anywhere close to what we’re seeing in France, then I have a really long, misaligned bridge in mumbai to sell to you.

Insane visuals coming in from France as Cockroach-type protests have spread in multiple cities - riots, arson and total anarchy.

Too lazy to integrate

X-posted from the SIMO X-Men blog A math teacher from Primary school once told me that “lazy people make good mathematicians”. This is one story of laziness-inspired mathematics.

The problem with a certain kind of Indian liberalism is that it recognizes the aesthetics of a liberal society more readily than the material and institutional foundations of one.
