I find it interesting that GPT-3 was available as an API for more than a year without generating this much excitement. It wasn't until chatgpt was released that we fully grasped the potential of AI, leading to a surge in innovation eve

Yes Reflecting on it, making things last longer had some great side effects. For instance, almost every woman in my family knew how to *rafu* clothes (1), and people understood how things worked under the hood of a car (like you my father d

Growing up in India about 20 years ago, we often repaired or renewed almost everything because our buying power was low and things were expensive. We used a lot of hacks, known as *jugaads*, to make things work. Even clothes were reused, wi

YouTube premium in India costs about 129rs / mo ($1.5) with a three month free trial and has no ads and free youtube music. I think it may be more expensive in US.
