Shaving my head and other things

-

 I recently shaved my head to fulfill a religious vow in Tirupathi, India. It's been an interesting experience.

The only thing I'm worried about is the in-between short hair phase of growing my hair out. So I asked ChatGPT to make a prediction of what I would look like. Here's a picture of me with short hair as imagined by ChatGPT:



And one of me bald!

-
 In 1928, a researcher at Bell Labs named Ralph Hartley published a paper that would change the world. At the time, "information" was a vague, psychological concept that we couldn't measure.

On the second page he begins with the measurement of information, where he talks about the considerations involved in com...

Over time, I’ve come to realize that it isn’t foreign at all. At its core, her work is about choosing objectives and then figuring out how to maximize them under real constraints. The constraints happen to be legal, institutional, and political rather than mathematical, but the structure of the problem is the same. I wanted to understand how legal training shapes that way of thinking, and how it helps turn ideals into something that can actually operate in the world. Abhijit Banarjee and Esther Duflo  Q: Good evening! Thanks so much for doing this. When you first started law school, what kind of thinking did you have to unlearn? I don’t think I had to unlearn anything in a strong sense. When you’re that young, you don’t yet have a very fixed or fully ...

First of all, there is a lot of shouting and messiness. Second of all, we always like have it really loud outside in our backyard. Its really annoying too. Then, me and my brother are always getting into fights and one of the parents have to shout at Nitin or me but they dont know which one started it. So they basically blame one of us.

For now.
