paramahans··on Cambrian Explosion of AI
This term "Cambrian explosion of AI" was used by Jenseng Huang of Nvidia and the author could have atleast credited this to Jenseng or mentioned something about his talks or speeches
paramahans··on Covid Scorecard: In Group of Pluralist Democracies, India Is an Outperformer
This is a typical Indian right wing govt propaganda article.
paramahans··on Electronics-Recycling Innovator Going to Prison for Extending Computers’ Lives
This sentencing is wrong. Microsoft was not even selling those disks and the computers on which the software was intended to be installed were already licensed to use the software. Just because of some "estimated" or "virtual" losses, this guy is being sent to prison. How screwed up is our justice system?
paramahans··on Indian government to intercept, monitor, and decrypt citizens’ computers
"We have fundamental enforceable human rights, democratic government, independent judiciary, (way too much)state-independent media, functional Intellectual Property Rights(IPR) regime while China lacks all of these."

I don't agree with you here. Maybe you live in a different India. Democratic government -Yes Independent Judiciary - Nope. Look up about the recent Rafael Fiasco. Also, a judge was killed and replaced by a Yes man to protect a mafia politician. Search Justice Loya for more details

state-independent media - To some extent. But there are many ruling party pet new channels

Functional Intellectual Property Right ??? Really ?

paramahans··on Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise?
I disagree about Millman and Halkias. The content in that book is from 1970s. Better books to learn about Semiconductor devices are 1. Device Electronics for integrated circuits by Muller and Kamins 2. Solid State Devices by Ben. G Streetman and Sanjay Banerjee

Millman Halkias is a staple in Indian universities but its high time it is replaced.
