The bigger danger is that all obituaries will be written by an AI.


Non famous obituaries are written by family members or friends. It's possible they'll use AI to clean up the wording


Obituaries are often written by funeral directors after a brief interview with the family.


There was something magical starting to type a listing that started with `10 GOSUB 10000`.


Been making yogurt at home for years. I just heat milk to the point when it's just about to boil over. Never measured the actual temperature, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 100C. I just cool it until it's warm to touch (about 40-45C) before adding the culture (a spoonful of last day's yogurt), then leave it overnight in the oven with the pilot light on.


>the oven with the pilot light on.

Those still exist, or do you just mean the interior light bulb?


Pilot light surely means it's a gas oven.


Same in Kannada, a South Indian language. You prefix "-ante" (roughly, _it is said_) and you can disown everything you say.


> so a web app can run SQL queries locally and all the usual SQLite stuff "just works" from the warm/javascript's point of view

Duckdb-wasm can do this.


Does it do the S3 storage and http range requests to seek to the needed byte offsets thing?

I think one day I'm gonna have a thing where I need a few GB or tens of GB of database to be available in a web or mobile app, but where that db rarely changes, and I want to do this without having to support/secure a backend platform or database.


Parquet.


> and people drinks cow piss to cure COVID

This is a false stereotype that has no place in HN. Yes, there are people who do that, but I bet a similar number of people per capita do that in Bangladesh too, we're not that different. It's like saying how can America be so developed if people still believe the earth is flat.


Heh, I grew up in a small town in Southern India. One of the summertime activities for kids was to go shake these trees (they are everywhere), extract kernels and make a few bucks at the local markets.

They were quite bitter. And the bitterness transferred to anything you touch after handling them unless you wash your hands thoroughly. IIRC, the oil was used in the soap industry.

Having said that, isn't any kind of monoculture bad? Traditional farming always had crop rotation and/or mixed cultivation. Any "magical" and "hardy" crop is gonna ruin the soil if planted over and over for years.


> isn't any kind of monoculture bad

Hence the previous destruction of citrus...


What is it called in Tamil?


Kannada.

It is called "Honge mara" in Kannada.


The metre is a basic checksum, but there are more elaborated systems (pathas) of chanting verses that aids in correct learning and memorization.

Some of it is described here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_chant#Oral_transmission

Perhaps the title should have been "Brain uses Quantum effects in a useful/controllable way". Sabine explains it well in the video. To use quantum effects for computation, you'd need very controlled conditions and it was thought be to not possible in the brain.



Ouch! the marketing segment is rather annoying.


I'm Indian (in the US) and I've noticed a vast majority of my Indian friends name their kids Aanav, Aanir or Aanvi etc. some of which aren't even words in any Indian language. Now I probably know why.
