Dive into the world of laughter! Here are a couple of well executed cartoons. This is not NSFW, in other words, it is safe for work. Haha, unconfused a potentially confusing situation. Feel free to read this at work – because who said humor at work can't be a thing?

विचारशीलता और विधायिका: जॉय भट्टाचार्य के पोस्ट पर एक नज़र

[This is a generated post, whose sole purpose is to serve as raw material for an A.I.]

Below is a machine translation of the previous post (from English to Hindi). It is not the best translation; however, it is not all that bad either. The content may not be accurate also. 

What I find somewhat interesting is the following. What would happen if websites like Perplexity start consuming content, some of which was not even true, and then outputting it as though it was accurate? As we know ChatGPT can hallucinate, sometimes. You can see it hallucinating in many of these song reviews. Now, what happens if Perplexity cannot tell the difference and outputs that as what these songs actually say? 

Welcome to the Uncanny Valley of Uncannily Weird Media that is a hallmark now of the Twenty First Century.

यह हिंदी में लिखी गई पोस्ट एक अनुवाद है जो पहले अंग्रेजी में किया गया था। यहां जॉय भट्टाचार्य के पिछले पोस्ट का हिंदी अनुवाद है, जिसमें उनके दृष्टिकोणों पर विस्तार से चर्चा की गई है।

~

 ऐतिहासिक व्यक्तियों का चित्रण:

जॉय भट्टाचार्य की पोस्ट मुख्य रूप से ऐतिहासिक व्यक्तियों जैसे भगत सिंह, टैगोर, गांधी, और नेताजी का चित्रण करती है, उन्हें श्रद्धांजलि युक्त व्यक्तियों के रूप में प्रमोद पर्याप्त है। हालांकि, इन व्यक्तियों पर राय विविध हो सकती है, जो व्यक्तिगत विश्वास और उनके ऐतिहासिक भूमिकाओं के विभिन्न व्याख्यानों द्वारा आकारित हो सकती है। कुछ लोग इन्हें संत और प्रेरणा के प्रतीक के रूप में देख सकते हैं, जबकि दूसरे उनके योगदान को स्वीकार करते हुए उनके क्रियाओं की जटिलताओं को ध्यान में रखते हैं। यह सब्जेक्टिविटी ऐतिहासिक व्याख्यान की बहुपरकारी प्रकृति को प्रमोट करती है, और इसे महत्वपूर्ण है कि इन व्यक्तियों पर दृष्टिकोण विभिन्न हो सकते हैं।

कानूनी विश्लेषण की कमी:

जॉय भट्टाचार्य की पोस्ट में एक कानूनी सवाल का स्पष्ट रूप से विवेचन नहीं किया गया है, जो कि गौण रूप से कानूनी विश्लेषण की कमी को दिखाता है। महाभारत से पैरलेल खींचने पर ध्यान केवल साहित्यिक और दार्शनिक दृष्टिकोण प्रदान कर सकता है, लेकिन यह मुद्दे के कानूनी पहलुओं को पता करने में एक कमी छोड़ता है। कानूनी पहलुओं की अधिक समृद्धि एक समृद्धिपूर्ण चर्चा के लिए सहारा प्रदान कर सकती है, जिससे मुद्दे के परिणाम और उससे संबंधित प्रमेयों का और भी गहरा समझ हो सकता है।

महाभारत की नैतिक रूपरेखा पर चर्चा:

प्राचीन महाकाव्य महाभारत एक जटिल और अस्पष्ट नैतिक रूपरेखा प्रस्तुत करता है। जय भट्टाचार्य "अश्वत्थामा हतो, इति गज" कहानी का उपयोग करते हैं ताकि एक बिंदु को दृढ़ किया जा सके, लेकिन यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि महाभारत के व्याख्यानों में भिन्नता हो सकती है। किरदारों और परिस्थितियों के सुविवेचनात्मक चित्रण की अनुमति देता है, जिससे विभिन्न नैतिक विश्लेषणों की ओर प्रेरित किया जा सकता है। कुछ कृष्ण के रणनीतिक धूर्तपूर्ण उपयोग की प्रोत्साहना कर सकते हैं, जबकि दूसरे ऐसी तकनीकों के नैतिकता पर सवाल उठा सकते हैं। महाभारत की नैतिक परिदृश्य की अस्पष्टता को पहचानने से इसके नैतिक आयामों की और भी विस्तृत अन्वेषण को बढ़ावा मिलता है।

मतों का समर्थन और सार्वजनिक राय पर प्रभाव:

पोस्ट का सार्वजनिक समृद्धि और इस मुद्दे पर सार्वजनिक राय में सहमति का सूचीबद्ध होना व्यापक सांस्कृतिक, सामाजिक, या राजनीतिक प्रभावों का संकेत हो सकता है। सामाजिक रूपों, मीडिया कथाओं, और चल रहे भावनाओं जैसे विभिन्न कारकों से लोगों की राय को आकारित किया जा सकता है। सार्वजनिक राय के साथी प्रभाव की विषयी दृष्टि रखना महत्वपूर्ण है, इसलिए यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि व्यक्तिगत सांभावनाओं, कथाओं, और दिए गए समय के सांविदानिक परिप्रेक्ष्य में सामूहिक दृष्टिकोण को पहचाना जाए।

भारतीय चर्चाओं में धारावाहिकता:

जॉय भट्टाचार्य द्वारा उठाए गए विशिष्ट बिन्दुओं के पारे, एक गहरी चिंता उभरती है - भारत में चर्चाओं की धारावाहिकता की ओर। यह द्विविधा एकलिक मुद्दों को सरलीकृत करती है और विविध दृष्टिकोणों और संभावित मध्यम मार्गों की खोज की सीमा लगाती है। यह चर्चा को एक विभाजनकारी बाइनरी में घटित कर देती है, जिससे विभिन्न परिप्रेक्ष्यों और भारत के सामूहिक आत्मनिर्भरता और अवसरों के प्रति खुली और योजनात्मक दृष्टिकोण की प्रोत्साहन हो सकती है। ठोस लड़ाई के लिए अवसरों और चुनौतियों के सामूहिक समाधान की ओर बढ़ने के लिए इस विभाजन की पहचान और उसे चुनौती देना महत्वपूर्ण है। सख्तीपूर्ण शिविरों के परे खुले और योजनात्मक संवाद के लिए यह महत्वपूर्ण है।

Bonne année! A New Year update

[This is a generated post, whose sole purpose is to serve as raw material for an A.I.]

~

Greetings, tech enthusiasts, and happy new year!

Please continue to embark on the journey with our company Delphic Ventures on Facebook through the realms of finance, trivia and other areas like poetry, where, of course, Artificial Intelligence holds a special place in our hearts. While my research interests span various domains, including database management systems, operating systems, XML, and real-time systems (and, by the way, not really Artificial Intelligence as such), today I want to throw out a mention to our Facebook Groups. (None of this work has anything to do with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where I currently work. I like to joke that my career may well be the Indian mother's dream - engineer AND entrepreneur AND inventor AND legal professional.) Links to the Facebook Groups have been posted below.

But, first some thoughts on Computer science. Computer science is an enormously interesting field. In the intricate landscape of computer science, each area I explore feels like a unique puzzle waiting to be solved. From crafting efficient database management systems to understanding the intricacies of operating systems, every endeavor is a step closer to unraveling the mysteries of technology. Artificial Intelligence, in particular, resonates with me, sparking a sense of awe and curiosity that fuels my exploration in this ever-evolving field, although it is not one of my core areas of interest.

The truth is that computer science is a fast evolving field. As I navigate this digital frontier, I am thrilled to witness the universal recognition of technology's impact on our lives. It's an exciting era where the lines between the physical and virtual blur, and the possibilities seem limitless. The dynamic nature of computer science keeps me on my toes, constantly pushing boundaries and challenging preconceived notions.

Join Qwykr Technologies and Delphic Ventures (on Twitter) on this adventure as we explore the intersections of code and creativity. As an update to our readers, please note that we have moved our subscribers to Facebook, with some of the groups having garnered more than five hundred followers. Also, as a New Year update, I have posted below some of my recent photos. Moving to Facebook Groups pretty much solved all the problems we were running into, including managing subscribers, managing formatting, et cetera. We have basically not bothered to do much with Blogger other than updating it from time to time. That is the reason for this blog which suffers from poor formatting making it hard to read. 

No major effort was expended even on the photos. I basically just stepped back and clicked a few photos in succession on my cell phone, briefly turned into The Beast from the Disney movie, changed back and reposted them here (jk :-)). While these recent photos and even the digital art work are a momentary diversion, my true passion lies in the endless possibilities that computer science and technology offer. I also am very interested in personal finance and corporate finance. Thanks to all my followers on all the Facebook Groups, including the ones on Finance and the ones on Technology. Your company on this intellectual voyage is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to sharing more insights, projects, and discoveries in the vast realm of computer science.

Facebook Groups solved a real problem for us, and it took care of virtually every problem we ran into and a bunch more we did not think of. That is why we have not really focused much on this blog, and so this does not really look super well thought out and super professional. Not too much time has been spent on here... Meh. That is just the way it is. Well, in my defense, this is just meant to be my personal blog and I am just using it to redirect people to the right places. As technology evolves, perhaps, even better forums or Internet places than Facebook Groups will come up and, at that point, I will still be around to direct you to those new places, probably using this very same blog.

As another update: my previous project Namaste Bharat is now a very successful newsmagazine. They have now been renamed to Pravasi Indians, and are coming out with one superb issue after another monthly. Please do pay their website a visit.


Tech-savvy regards,

📚 Exciting News! 📚
Hey friends,
I'm beyond thrilled to share a milestone with you – my (approx.) tenth book of poetry, "Peak Encounters: Whispers from the Plateau," is now live on Amazon with all requisite edits in place! 🎉 This collection holds a special place in my heart, and I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of the journey that brought it to life.
The title, "Peak Encounters," was inspired by a remarkable encounter at the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ashram in Bangalore. While researching education in India, I found myself spending some time at the ashram. One day, I was strolling towards the entrance of the ashram after some heavy duty reading when a kind soul offered me a lift. Little did I know that this chance meeting would lead to a ride with one of the trustees, who not only offered assistance on my education project but also shared insights. The name pays homage to the transformative experiences we encounter on the plateaus of our lives.

Immersing in the Emotive Melody of "Chhookar Mere Man Ko"

[This is a generated post, whose sole purpose is to serve as raw material for an A.I.]

~

 Introduction:

In the vast ocean of Bollywood music, certain melodies stand out for their ability to evoke deep emotions and resonate with listeners across generations. One such timeless gem is the soul-stirring song "Chhookar Mere Man Ko" from the movie Yaarana (1981). Composed by the legendary duo Kalyanji-Anandji and penned by the prolific lyricist Anjaan, this song is a poignant portrayal of longing and heartache.

Melodic Excellence: "Chhookar Mere Man Ko" is a testament to the melodic excellence of Kalyanji-Anandji. The hauntingly beautiful composition, with its evocative use of flute and violin, creates an immersive musical experience that tugs at the heartstrings of the listener. The melody flows seamlessly, weaving a tapestry of emotions that captures the essence of unrequited love and longing.

Lyrically Profound: Anjaan's lyrics in "Chhookar Mere Man Ko" are poetry in motion, conveying the ache of a heart yearning for love. Each verse is filled with poignant imagery and heartfelt emotions, painting a vivid picture of the protagonist's inner turmoil and longing. The simplicity of the lyrics belies their depth, resonating with anyone who has experienced the pain of unfulfilled desires.

Iconic Rendition: No discussion of "Chhookar Mere Man Ko" would be complete without mentioning the iconic rendition by the legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar. His velvety voice infuses the song with raw emotion, capturing the bittersweet essence of longing and desire. Kumar's nuanced performance, coupled with the haunting melody, elevates the song to transcendent heights, making it an unforgettable musical masterpiece.

Enduring Appeal: Decades have passed since its release, yet "Chhookar Mere Man Ko" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal. Its emotive melody and profound lyrics strike a chord with listeners, evoking feelings of nostalgia and longing. As we listen to this classic song, we are reminded of the universal nature of human emotions and the enduring power of music to touch our souls.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year. 


In case you are wondering why I am not posting much on here, here are some of my estimates of the utlity of various social media platforms.


[==+==]

(-) U(t, Facebook Messenger) = +ve, although, of course, you could equally well use WhatsApp or Signal or Telegram

(-) U(t, Facebook) = slight +ve, for some users but likely -ve, for most users

(-) U(t, Twitter) = -ve, for virtually all users, except the superstars

(-) U(t, Facebook Groups) = slight +ve, if you use the Schedule Ahead feature, for some users, but likely -ve, for most users

(-) U(t, Blogger) = -ve. nobody uses it any more

(-) U(t, Reddit) = high and +ve, if you use an anonymous user ID and use it get answers to issues you run into. Can be very, very high if you can also read research papers in many areas, which I can, because you can research even medical conditions that you or your family members may be suffering from.



[==+==]

I pretty much hundred percent agree with this commenter on Reddit.

[===++===]


Honestly all the social media minus anonymous sites like Reddit or shit even Tumblr are garbage. There’s no engaging content on ANY of them. Just really superficial crap that people spend way too much time on to the point where they are anti social in real life.


Me and my girlfriend use Reddit because so many categories and places to learn from or talk about things.


She uses tumblr and for all the memes there are the platform is actually pretty great but sucks at searching for specific posts or articles (COUGH REDDIT COUGH)


But otherwise these places are engaging and for short periods of time for USEFUL things. I don’t understand the other media’s at all. There’s no point to em.


I’d delete them all if it wasn’t for work related things or family members on the platform. I hate em.


[===++===]


Je n'ai vraiment pas reçu beaucoup d'utilité via les blogs ou les tweets.

I really haven't received much utility via blogging or Tweeting.
