I built the site and scrapers with the LLMs, but the data has been completely validated and there are many checks in place -- including manual supervision by me -- to ensure there is no hallucination.

So, UPI is the most popular way Indians transact online. More than 85% of online transactions are via UPI, so how UPI is used gives you a greater visibility into how the India is spending.

But point taken on the LLM-y sentences/vibe. I can absolutely fix those. I built the site because when I was a journalist, I used to spend a lot of time visiting these government websites to get all the data out. And in my new profession, we spend a lot of money to analysts to just give us a lot of this same data points.

Thanks for the feedback!!

About 11 years ago, I cold-emailed Om for his guidance. I was an absolute nobody, living thousands of miles away. Not only did Om patiently explain how I should think about my career, he kept in touch over the past decade checking in on how I was doing. I left journalism last year to do something else -- coincidentally, again, following Om's footsteps -- and had been meaning to write a long email, sharing so much. I deeply regret missing the chance to have another conversation with him.

Om has been deeply impactful to my journalism career and beyond. He was way too kind and leaves a big vacuum.

HSBC, in a note to clients:

Just making code is not enough

For example, India based companies have had the ability to create and market enterprise class software for decades … at scale. And there is certainly enough talent that has been exposed to business logic and domain expertise while working at India-based subdivisions of the biggest legacy players. Yet over the decades, even with this insight and a massive low-cost skilled workforce, no regional vendors have successfully emerged to challenge the legacy US vendors, in our view. Factors such as having enterprise class sales teams, technology cross-licensing agreements, proprietary and patented IP, industry specific domain expertise, aligned workflows with industry practice, being first-to- market, having brand awareness, scale, or effective go-to-market strategies are just the tip of the iceberg when looking into the key attributes needed to compete effectively in the software sector and … just making code is not enough.

The paper interestingly finds that fertility rates have fallen to historically low levels in virtually all high-income countries due to a fundamental reordering of adult priorities rather than economic factors.

Never found a great alternative of this for Mac.

Mutual funds have to keep their holdings in primary companies up-to-date. They have access to internal revenue figures, which is how they assess how they ascribe value to things.

The info is in the story, nonetheless.

Good journalism.

Loading fine.

Yes, who cares about the ad-dollars that TechCrunch relies on to survive, right? What a great innovation. Do you also have a workaround to use UPS without any charges? How about avoiding a way to pay utility bills?

Not the Onion.

TechCrunch had a story on them working a while ago. Open AI is investing: https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/10/openai-in-talks-to-back-ze...

Working for me.

Same story, same link was submitted by me before this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33954008

Also my submission is a "dupe," but it was posted before the thing it is duping. And second, Washington Post broke the story. At the time of publication, there was not FTC blog. And the only other news outlet that had the news was Bloomberg, but its story was yet to hit the web and was only available to Terminal subscribers.

The blog post doesn't provide context on Telegram's monetization efforts over the years and just how much it is charging for the premium feature.
