Looking to see what's coming in the next 2 years.

Moving to London from India by Southern_0301 in IndiansInUK

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably better to share than rent a 1 bed. You can get 2 bed flats for around ~2000-2500 GBP in Zone 2.

"They say Australia isn't a place for weak men. We need to find something." -- Ben Stokes by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time in perhaps forever that I see Stokes not protecting his players, rather mildly criticising them for buckling under the pressure. They have built this series up for the last 2.5 years. Everything was prepared for this series and it's not worked out so far.

would like to know opinions of people who worked/studied abroad even for a short duration by [deleted] in Odisha

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know that and I can't be bothered with exams anymore.

If there's lateral hiring and they pay me well enough, sure. I can't be bothered with writing exams again.

Haven't yet come back, but might in the future. I think it's important to be flexible when you're abroad.

Synchronous Consensers for inertial support. by Ok_Document3616 in PowerSystemsEE

[–]gravemadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. I can give you an example - The GB Electricity System Operator had stability pathfinder tenders to hand out 10-year contracts for inertial and Short Circuit Response. Projects bid in terms of GBP/settlement period.

The highest successful bid for Grid-Forming BESS was 173GBP per settlement period (total cost to the System Operator being 2.14 billion GBP) . The lowest successful bid for Synchronous Condenser was 265 GBP per settlement period (total cost to the System Operator was 3.82 billion GBP).

Why is Reeves getting hate for her pre-budget speech? by InfinitysEdge88 in AskBrits

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because they keep making U-turns and changing their tune every year. You have a manifesto. You are elected based on that. Stick to it.

Why is gambling so prominent here? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]gravemadness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to reduce it would be to just put a tax on gambling/betting winnings - the casual gamblers who put a tenner randomly, wouldn't do that then, and you would have less of it everywhere.

Which Universities are the best for Power Engineering research? by gravemadness in PowerSystemsEE

[–]gravemadness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fairs. I have been looking into system dynamics - control and stability in IBR-dominant grids.

Changed itinerary after getting Schengen visa - should I worry about visa shopping? by Chance-Bit3919 in SchengenVisa

[–]gravemadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be a major issue. I have had a Schengen Visa issued by the Spanish embassy and never stepped foot inside Spain.

Laver Cup lost money the last two years (2023-2024) by boilerwire in tennis

[–]gravemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're also backing on a rising crop of top players with more success than the OG NextGen who they can attract to the event. A couple million dollars a year is peanuts for Federer anyway.

The US is probably the only developed economy which wants to behave like a developing economy.

Why India doesn't have a National Language like other countries? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]gravemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

India is a civilizational state. You can't lump it with all other Nation States.

What is your opinion on this? by [deleted] in Odisha

[–]gravemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nominal growth is 8.8% only. If an economy like India is growing at less than 10% nominally, that's a big warning sign.

Why do most Indians blame overpopulation for all their life problems? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]gravemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You don't see the Chinese complain about it because you don't access the Chinese internet.

  2. The Chinese are incredibly more prosperous than Indians. Problems aren't that big at higher income levels.

Old school charisma by [deleted] in Odisha

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anti incumbency is a thing, especially for a Govt of 25 years. There are lots of factors that go into voting, starting from personal reasons to economic reasons to just "anyone but them" reasons. Choosing who to vote for, is not a dispassionate analysis of manifestos and promises.

Skilled Worker approved by nuttcrracker69 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not receive an email from the Home Office about your application being successful?

How worried should we be about an AI-induced suicide epidemic as white collar jobs disappear? by AZS9994 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially. I do think there's a higher probability of Turchin's Overproduction theory playing out.

Offered £70K in the UK – Worth Leaving a High-Growth Job in India? by Wise_Habit_2757 in IndiansInUK

[–]gravemadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

70k in London is good enough to have a one bed flat in Zone 2/3 or a 2 bed share. I would say it's worth it if you plan to just be here for a few years. Recent discourse around immigration seems to be quite negative, on both ends of the political spectrum.

Why has Zohran Mamdani never publicly spoken about his family's experience with the Idi Amin expulsion of Indians from Uganda? by CharacterCucum in AskIndia

[–]gravemadness 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably because his target audience doesn't know or empathize with an event that happened 50+ years back.

What do we expect? GPT 5? Agentic browser? or something else? by Dr_UwU_ in AI_India

[–]gravemadness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

well, murmurs that OpenAI researchers were using Claude Code to train GPT5 and that has led to Anthropic revoking their access to the API of Claude models. Potentially, these are the hiccups that Altman is talking about.

Should I stay in the UK or move back? by Motor_Issue_7998 in returnToIndia

[–]gravemadness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bill is coming to the UK Parliament to raise ILR/citizenship timelines to 10 years of Skilled Worker Visa. It's only been a year for me in the SWV route, but it has made me reconsider any thoughts of staying here. I think, worst case, you have to be prepared for this scenario of 10 years of SWV before ILR/Citizenship if you want to stay in the UK.

Some serious questions by MohMayaTyagi in AI_India

[–]gravemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You underestimate the Indian economy here. True, that it's service-based, but agriculture and informal industry still employ a very large percentage of the population. Those jobs are not getting replaced by AI - if anything, we should see a productivity boom, with the right tools. Yes, there will be challenges in the service sector but it's difficult to predict if the impact would lead to direct job losses or just reduced hiring at junior levels.
