This reminds me of something. In Indian society, households have this calender called panchang. It is released annually by a group of priests who read and decipher ancient scriptures known as Vedas. Surprisingly panchang is quite accurate and informative about duration of solar and lunar eclipses.

At this point, I am rooting for Google to do anything it wants then current design. For now material design looks like cartoon network to me. The best design in modern times I liked was of Microsoft fluent 2. I badly wish for skeumorphism to come back, but now have left the hope.

I didn't get a chance to read but will surely will, thanks for pointing that

The first link you shared of hrw...in one of the incidents it showed the arrest of newsclick.

The problem with international media houses is that they don't report why someone has been arrested on what charges and with what process. Newsclick offices has been raided for allegedly taking funding from CCP for propaganda and also inciting Delhi riots.

The second instance when the hrw is saying that Delhi police arrested 'peaceful protesters', there were RIOTS! A police offices was stabbed in two digits, a boy' limbs were amputed while being alive and left to burn in his shop. They were not peaceful protests in any case.

Amnesty international did the same thing. It did not report why Kejriwal was arrested. Kejriwal's lavish mansion made with money of tax payers has been a topic of mockery by Indian public. His party lost elections badly because people knew that the arrest was not whimsical.

I won't comment on topic of court more, as I don't know you can be right.

Independent credible sources :p. Name any media house and I can show how they have repeatedly used media as a propaganda page with full of fake news whether left or right(except reuters maybe). The only thing credible is reading from multiple sources to know fully about an incident. What I like about Opindia is that it provides a very comprehensive coverage of every incident with sources and proofs at every line and has even corrected itself in past for mistakes.

India has not become less democratic that is just a farce by some parties who neither have any agenda, neither consistent neither in touch with what people want, they are just envious that they are being repeatedly loosing elections in multiple states of India. They only cry India is less democratic when they lose elections.

The opposing party repeatedly wants a caste census and invites regularly people of different castes against other castes. In fact caste violence is at its lowest period, since from my parents times. Young generation have stopped believing in birth castes except to make Instagram reels. Love jihad, I can show you hundreds of cases when a member of a community (you can guess) has posed as member of other religious group for an affair to be finally have his identity revealed after marriage after which domestic violence and sexual exploitation of the victim arises. Now before you say that it is a 'Hindutva majoritian' agenda, well not when the church groups of Kerala raise the same issue in their community.

Opindia has no hesitation on declaring itself as a right leaning site but frequently publishing misinformation? That's exaggeration. It backs whatever it writes with independent research, attached videos documents, cctv footage, other news houses as best as it can. Sure it made its mistakes but not so much as other media houses in India.

There are much worse media houses that opindia especially on the left.

And Wikipedia? That's neither reliable or consistent. It itself has been shown to be edited by whimsical propagandists to serve their own means in past.

The articles sources can be checked and not only opindia other news houses have reported on Gurpreet Singh Pannu

Some examples:

Regarding extrajudicial killings if I remember correctly arrested person was Indian, not sure if it was proved that he was connected to Indian govt. And for Canada yes they didn't provide any proof but instead had to backtrack on their statements:

https://www.opindia.com/news-updates/canadian-pm-justin-trud...

The first point is completely invalid, here a lot of press, YouTubers berate Indian government in daily basis they do not suffer any setbacks except when netizens call out false propaganda in numbers for both pro and anti government media.

Second point the Indian leader arrested was involved in huge scams in liquor and policy, he used to live in a lavish palace and got called out by enforcement directorate. It's good he got arrested.

Canada has not provided even a single proof for Indias involvement in extrajudicial killings but instead harbor people who threaten Indians regularly. Despite extradition treaty Canada has become a safe harbor of terrorists and refused to extradite terrorists even after repeated requests by India.

Reversing the trend ? Are you kidding me, previous government imposed emergency rule when their position was threatened and commited human rights abuses.

I always thought about the problem of AI taking jobs, that even if there are new jobs created to replace the older ones, it will come at a cost of decrease in satisfaction of overall populace.

The more people in general get disconnect from nature/physical world/reality. via layers of abstraction the more discontent they will become. These layers can be: 1) Automatics in agriculture. 2) Industries. 3) Electronics 4) Software 5) and now AI

Each higher layer depends on lower ones for its functioning without the need to worry about specifics and provides a framework for higher abstraction to work on.

The more we move up in hierarchy the more disconnected we become from the physical world.

To support this I observed that villagers in general are more jolly and content than city dwellers. In metropolis specially I saw that people are more rude, anxious and always agitated, while villagers are welcoming and peaceful.

Another good example is that of an artist finding it boring to guide AI even though he loves making paintings himself/herself.

Amazing, looking forward for the plant to tree, simulation.

One more question, sorry my knowledge of ML is not so profound, does NEAT algorithm mimic how natural selection works? And how.

I must say that I was expecting that a single light receptor would also have been evolved from something else so that the title would have earned the moniker of 'from scratch'.

That's quite a cool project, but as a thought can the simple rules you started from... Are they simple enough? Like the rule which states that offspring will carry the traits of parents, so exactly what traits they carry. how are they carried. Are these rules simple enough?

Politics aside, money meant/allocated for one purpose should only be used for that purpose. I always tried thinking of a system where every tax payers cent can be traced to its usage by goverment via a portal. Usage can include salaries, projects etc. That will make things more transparent

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/species

"set of animals or plants in which the members have similar characteristics to each other and can breed with each other"

Breeding is a criteria for differentiating species and also there is a lot of difference between theory and practice.

Are all experiments done on bacteria directly applicable to multi celled organism?, that's something new :)

Nice, micro evolution got demonstrated. Now it's time to show macro-evolution/speciation to actually observe emergence of new species.

Yeah that is wrong, but many are under the impression that Indian government has started stomping on free speech and that the judiciary are just completely whimsical.

The article has not been blocked by Indian government but by Indian judiciary system with a trial, there's a difference. Also trials in India take a lot of time and conclusions are reached after much thought.

Also Wikipedia does not have a good track record of its editors free from misleading articles for defamation and propaganda. I won't trust at all the article in Wikipedia about the war between Wikipedia and ANI. The article (archive) already seems to present the court in a bad flavour.

He attributed his success to his family Goddess, claiming he had dreams of scrolls unfurling theorems against a bloodied wall.

"An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God" - Ramanujan

What is called as 'Random', I will term it as 'free will'. In case of a human training an AI, free will be of the human and in case of creation of universe free will be that of the 'intelligent designer'

Even if it does break the loop, it would always be named as started by a 'creator' or an initiator. And also the AI will require power source to maintain itself which will be provided by creatures outside it's system.

Random, that's what we think, bacteria living in gut can also think the whole digestive process to be part of some random universal law

The AI guiding and training another AI will in turn need guidance on higher level.

Rapid evolution of AI needs a director, a human training and guiding it to get tangible results.

Nice article, deep introspection and attention to moment have helped me a lot in experiencing life fully. Somehow I remembered this line from Gita: "For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy."

Somehow I remembered this research:

Is your Brain really necessary? https://www.jstor.org/stable/1684473#:~:text=%E2%80%9CDeep%2...

Yes God is a strange loop. According to Bhagavad Gita. This creation is God's energy and it's part.

So equation is more like this: God = God + Creation Or

God + Creation = God.

So everything is part of God but not God at same time.

According that for certain reasons, and also volunteers are to much engaged

That should do, initially I was thinking that since I have a good quality camera and a system, there will be some open source imaging system which will help but this should also do. Problem is time is less and I am not sure that I will be able to procure a people counter. Here nobody uses it.

Can you provide any leads on custom solutions?

What a coincidence, One hour before reading this article I was thinking of it! I was imagining that how the sphere will look like if made of oceans and seas' water. Now I got to know it :D
