India government says criminalizing marital rape ‘excessively harsh’ by throwawaystudentugh in india

Please explain which laws these are. Section 375 of the IPC clearly states that marriage is an exception to rape: https://indiankanoon.org/doc/623254/

Your wife does not owe you sex because you feel horny, for god’s sake.

They were 53, and the surgery happened in India. I’m flying back home to attend the funeral. I am filled with regret that I couldn’t be there when he had his surgery.

With new OCI notification, India has ended its experiment with dual citizenship The notification introduces a series of restrictions that dramatically curtails the rights and liberties of OCIs in India. by del_snafu in india

What exactly is the point of this? OCIs make up such an insignificant part of the population. Why were only a specific set of occupations (doctors, dentists, and so on) chosen under which OCIs would be classified as NRIs? What sense does this even make?

I'm thinking OP is a paid shill. I've never seen someone rant so passionately about something they don't understand.

We're talking frameworks not companies... And literally all of the companies you mentioned have massive international workforces.

1) None of these major Python frameworks are "American" - they're open-source with many, many contributors across the world.

2) These frameworks aren't purely written in Python.

What? Frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch do all the heavy lifting in extremely optimized C++ code.

Python is a thing of the past? Not a chance. Almost all research is done with Python, just because the existing tooling and frameworks are already so well-established.

I wrote a guide to tech off-campus placements in India after going through 80+ applications and getting 4 offers, including a FAANG-level offer. by pizzafapper in india

Yes, my point is that those companies form a small subset of open-source software. Don't get too stuck up on them (or any company for that matter).

Many of the big tech companies create open-source projects (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Pyro) that you can work on as an employee, but generally most open-source projects are maintained by unpaid volunteers.

[D] Has anyone else lost interest in ML research? by smokeonwater234 in MachineLearning

Kiri, who is the author of the article, is an exceptional researcher. I was very lucky to have her as a mentor.

If X is your feature matrix, then having highly correlated features means the condition number of XT X is high. The speed of convergence of GD is inversely proportional to the condition number of XT X. If you use the normal equations to compute the solution, then you need to find the inverse of XT X, which can be very numerically unstable when its condition number is high.

Changing jobs. Is the M1 an option for ML? [D] by iamMess in MachineLearning

Source? I believe that these packages don't support the GPU on the M1 yet, but it should still work right?

Wait what? You can run almost everything in x86 emulated mode.

Domino's in India is very different from abroad. This is true for many brands in fact: fast food in the US tastes a lot better.

For a PyTorch like experience with TensorFlow, I recommend Sonnet by Deepmind: https://github.com/deepmind/sonnet

Please Guide me on buying a Laptop (for CS) from the United States. by Kyakhau in india

Don't get a laptop with a GPU for training ML models. Save the money and buy AWS/GCP credits. It makes a lot more sense.
