Old man in tech. Indian in the US. Interests: Programming/Software development, abuse detection, Dev tools, tech in general, politics, Telugu - books, movies, culture I don't speak for my employer, my family or my non-existent dog.
Third book of the year. Finished in two sittings with just a break for chores in between. I don't know if this would be considered cheating - to pick a book I loved long ago, and then completing those. I didn't pick it up for count though. These books are my escape, my comfort food, my indulgence!
Finally completed the second book of the year. Picked this up in Half Price Books. Took almost two months to complete. Novels are faster to complete than story collections. Story collections have natural breaks at which point I put the book down. Plus my English reading is slower compared to Telugu.
One more hike? You're really trying to see at what point would I just cancel, aren't you, @netflix.com ? There should be a law to make these emails more transparent. They should mention the current price before the increase as well!
Just completed my first book of the year. I love Vamsi. His writing is even more Godavaric than his movies. It is fiction and the world probably doesn't exist anymore, but if you're from Godavari districts, it just gives a nostalgic high, and makes you want that world so much.
This is extremely interesting. Look at the AI summary shown for a YouTube video of Chuck Schumer's speech. The first sentence or the last sentence have nothing to do with the content of the video, but added anyway!
I opened NYT Connections, and when I saw the word "Spur", the first word association that came to my mind was "Bone"!
Number of jobs lost per year. 2025 is on track to be the quest year since the last crisis (2009).
Meta AI is like the genius kid who was overworked by the parents until they lost their mind. How many errors can you count in that one simple response?
