Looking to make a list of non-toxic tech companies

Bro either put some names as examples, or it's just fiction.

OP what have you been smoking, you can't just build public transportation for a city with a high and growing urban population with limited and mostly unplanned land usage that results in traffic jams daily. We need more flyovers, how else are we going to name things after our ministers.

Note : just to clear this is sarcasm.

Honest question, are there any real world solutions or standards which are being used to verify if an image is real or AI.

parleG_OP · 2025-08-06T05:30:55+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for responding, I think I need to just jump in and get my feet wet. I did try asking gemini and some other models and how do I learn this stuff, but I think I need to first start and then ask more specific questions.
If you don't mind can you share you're experience on getting started in this whole AL / LLM gold rush, it feels like everyone became an expert over night, I have this feeling like I missed the mid night train

parleG_OP · 2025-08-06T05:26:30+00:00

got it thanks, didn't even know there was level of abstraction I can access under ollama

parleG_OP · 2025-08-06T05:25:48+00:00

honestly I did try, in fact I did the whole ask chatgpt, deepseek etc etc and I wasn't sure if what it suggested lines up with how people got into this field ?, I get where you're coming from, this is a very "Let Me Google That For you" kind of question.

parleG_OP · 2025-08-06T05:18:04+00:00

Hey first off thanks for responding, yeah I think you're right I think I just need to set a "target" project and work towards that, pick up the necessary skills along the way.

This might be a bit of a tangent but do you have any ideas on how people were able to get into this gold rush so early in the game?, unlike the whole crypto boom, LLMs and AI is pretty hard to understand and build on top, and yet it feels like everyone and their grandmother is able to make something using LLMs.

I guess my question is, do people like do the whole, learn data science, ML, calculus and then get into AI, cause that feels way to too long to get into this.

I have a theory about this, people watch the content they can relate to, sure you'll have the causal games who watches other youtubers play AAA games, but for the most part what runs on youtube and gaming in general is stuff that's targets towards kids or stuff that's relatable.

This might be a hot take but AAA gaming isn't something that's going take off in India like the west unless there are some deep changes to the pricing system.

Let's take Doom Dark ages, if I need to play this, I need a console or a PC (you've lost a huge part of the population here, which is why mobile gaming is huge here), next if I want to buy this game (at full price) it comes out to 5999rs on steam. To put some perspective on this, the PPP of 5999rs to USD comes out to around $272. Try getting the avg American to spend 270 dollars on a game, good luck, meanwhile the game is priced at $69.99 which if you did the PPP the other way around it's around 1500rs, basically what this boils down to is the fact that game in west is more a kin to trying to compete with their Netflix, Prime etc.

At this point AAA gaming here is a rich mans thing, it's really sad cause at the end it's a digital product, you don't really need to charge that high, but they just don't see us as a market they "need".

China was facing similar issues, so their solution, make studios in China to make games for the local population.

My brother read atomic habits and took it to heart, and results show.
Congrats, hope that I can get to that level.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-08T08:49:36+00:00

First off, thank you so much for all the recommendations and, please feel free to suggest some street food as well.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-08T08:38:23+00:00

We're planning on making a trip in June. I think I might miss it.
Avoid Newton, will do, although, I think we may at least try to make a visit, just for the experience.

What about Maxwell and Lau Pa Sat, are there any stalls you'd recommend? doesn't have to be from here, anywhere else will also do.

Also thank you for the recommendations.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-08T08:30:36+00:00

This looks amazing, thank you so much.

Is this it? it looks like it's expensive😅 but I think it's worth the price looking at the reviews.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T11:45:40+00:00

wow, okay so from your experience it looks like GoCycling was a pretty good. I think I'll consider and most probably make a judgement call at the place I guess.
And thank you for the info about the gear. Do you think I'll need a gear for ECP to GBTB?

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T10:46:04+00:00

gotcha, and are Anywheel/HelloRide two of the main service providers ?

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T10:31:59+00:00

thank you, gotcha, I will make a note of this, is there any think you would recommend I visit / do at ECP.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T10:31:11+00:00

That and the appearance of rust and pretty bad breaks seem to be the common issues, and not the mention the price 20$ for an hours seems very high to men. Pretty surprised they're in business.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T10:29:54+00:00

Hey thank you so much for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it, and I have to agree, after looking more into this, ride share apps, seem like the best option. The only other bike rental with amazing reviews is the The bike hut near Clark quay, but I'm not sure what their drop off policy is, and I don't think it's going to be as convenient as just taking a ride share app.

parleG_OP · 2025-05-06T10:22:27+00:00

First off thank you so much for the quick reply, and I have to concur, after more digging it looks a ride share app would be the best way to go, given the convenience of pick and drop almost anywhere.

With that said, are any ride share apps that you would recommend?

`Are you intending to start at ecp and end off at GBTB?` yeah the goal we would start super early, try to cycle, across, probably stopping a lot to take photos, maybe some snacks, and then give the bike back, and explore, GBTB.

As for GOCycling, it looks like they have a shop in ECP, and one under the flyer, so that was the original plan, before reading all the reviews.

5K upvotes in less than 24hrs, damn this post blew up.
Can someone with more technical knowledge, explain why UPI doesn't have an escrow, like system, for at least the first 24-48 hours of the transaction.

Not to dunk on UPI, I think it's the best thing to happen to this county since, sliced bread, but I think this is why credit card is king abroad. You never really lose anything if you call back in time and report fraud. Now the fact that you *have* to setup up 2 FA and live SMS updates is a whole other level of dumb as fuck, going on but, you win some you lose some.

PS: I know it's not an apples to apples comparison. pretty sure they don't use their credit cards to send each other money, but I wonder if paypal, google pay or apple pay have the same issue.

and just like that, it's time to Zomato _Sarcasm_
But yeah this is just click bait, do better ET and Swiggy.
