Cory Doctorow Is Making Peace with AI
Less than four years after ChatGPT’s debut, we are nowhere near understanding the role AI will play in our lives. Will it be as transformative as the internet? Will it cause mass unemployment? Will the next generation forfeit its capacity to think to AI models? Will we all soon be using AI agents to book our hotels and flights? The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI: How to Think About Artificial Intelligence—Before It’s Too Late. By Cory Doctorow. Macmillan, 240 pp.

The Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, known foe its semi-arid climate and distinct cultural practices, has a rich history of traditional knowledge, particularly in the domain of ethno-veterinary practices. Ethno-veterinary medicine refers to the indigenous practices and knowledge of managing livestock health and diseases through locally available resources, passed down through generations.
The Cory Doctorow Doctrine
In the last two years, iPhone customers may have been pleasantly surprised to see a standardized USB-C charger port, allowing them to dispose of Apple’s custom Lightning wires. The world’s 1.5 billion iPhone users can thank Europe for forcing Apple’s change. The tech giant decided to switch all its new iPhones, determining it too costly to produce the USB-C port just for Europe.

How the Digital Age Changed Us
Not a week goes by that book publishers don’t disgorge a tome on Big Tech, whether it’s a tell-all about C-suite leaders keeping us hooked to their algorithms, a boosterish guide to Artificial Intelligence (AI) by a tech insider, or a dire warning on how the tech platforms are hollowing out our attention spans. Add two more volumes to the pile.

Gray Expectations
In the days since Donald Trump was reelected president, we’ve been subjected to news of the president-elect’s Cabinet choices, each one a harbinger of some disaster in the making: a defense secretary issuing orders to a military to attack private citizens; an attorney general weaponizing the state to go after political enemies based on grudges; a national intelligence director working in tandem with the world’s most ruthless despots. These are just the routine nominations.

As Election Day Approaches, Don’t Forget About the K Street Wolves
It’s been almost three months since The Wolves of K Street: The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government, a novelistic nonfiction account of the rapacious lobbying industry’s excesses, appeared with considerable fanfare. The title’s homage to Jordan Belfort’s financial memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street, and the Martin Scorsese film, plus the book’s two esteemed journalist authors being brothers, gave it extra panache.
Fareed Zakaria and Our Tumultuous World
In his latest book, Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present, Fareed Zakaria proffers his own 21st-century spin on storied historian Eric Hobsbawm’s seminal work The Age of Revolution: Europe, 1789–1848. Like the famed 20th-century historian, Zakaria recounts how the French and Industrial Revolutions profoundly shaped the structures, norms, and guiding principles that made our society what it is.
How Franklin Roosevelt Tamed Wall Street
A century ago, amid the Roaring Twenties, three Republican presidential administrations devoted themselves to the interests of the wealthy, promoting union-busting and slashing regulations. The result was the nation’s most pronounced wealth inequality in its 150-year history—levels we see again today. We all know what happened next. The stock market’s precipitous slide began in the autumn of 1929, wiping out more than half its value and ushering in the Great Depression.
Should Progressives See Sohrab Ahmari as Friend or Foe?
Sohrab Ahmari made his name a few years ago when, after rejecting the secularism of his Iranian immigrant parents and converting to Catholicism, he began trolling prominent Christian conservatives for being insufficiently radical. In 2019, for example, Ahmari famously attacked David French, who was then an evangelical constitutional lawyer best known for representing religious groups in disputes over issues like whether student prayer groups had a right to meet on campus.

फैन: क्या था शीला बूआ की नाराजगी का कारण
करीब 8 महीने पहले शीला बूआ का अपने भतीजे राजीव की शादी के अवसर पर सप्ताह भर के लिए कानपुर से दिल्ली आना हुआ था. उस के बाद अब वे 1 महीने के लिए अपने छोटे भाई शंकर के घर रहने आई थीं. राजीव की बहू मानसी अपने कमरे से निकल कर जब उत्साहित अंदाज में भागती सी उन के पास आई तब उस ने जींस और टौप पहना हुआ था. बूआ के माथे में पड़े बल देख कर शंकर, उन की पत्नी सुमित्रा और राजीव तीनों समझ गए कि नई बहू का पहनावा उन्हें पसंद नहीं आया.
सही समय पर: क्या मनोज की जिंदगी में पत्नी के खालीपन को समझ पाए उसके बच्चे?
मनोज की जिंदगी में पत्नी के न रहने से जो खालीपन आया था उसे सरिता भर तो सकती थी, पर मनोज के बेटे व बहुएं इस परिवर्तन को पचाने के लिए तैयार नहीं थे. कमलेश के साथ मैं ने विवाहित जिंदगी के 30 साल गुजारे थे, लेकिन कैंसर ने उसे हम से छीन लिया. सिर्फ एक रिश्ते को खो कर मैं बेहद अकेला और खाली सा हो गया था. ऊब और अकेलेपन से बचने को मैं वक्तबेवक्त पार्क में घूमने चला जाता. मन की पीड़ा को भुलाने के लिए कोई कदम उठाना, उस से छुटकारा पा लेने के बराबर नहीं होता है.
Short Story: वचन- चिकचिक और शोरशराबे से जब परेशान हुई निशा
घर में रोजरोज की चिकचिक और शोरशराबे से निशा परेशान रहती थी. मगर एक दिन उस ने एक ऐसी तरकीब निकाली कि घर के सभी सदस्य उस की सूझबूझ के मुरीद हो गए. क्या थी वह तरकीब. निशा ने अपने जन्मदिन के अवसर पर हम सब के लिए बढि़या लंच तैयार किया. छक कर भोजन करने के बाद सब आराम करने के लिए जब उठने को हुए तो निशा अचानक भाषण देने वाले अंदाज में उठ कर खड़ी हो गई, ‘‘मैं आप सब से आज कुछ मांगना चाहती हूं,’’ कुछ घबराते, कुछ शरमाते अंदाज में उस ने अपने मन की इच्छा प्रकट की.
Short Story: सरप्राइज- भाई-बहनों का जीवन संवारने वाली सीमा क्या खुद खुश रह पाई?
सीमा ने भाई बहनों का जीवन तो संवार दिया पर खुद पीछे रह गई. तिलतिल जल रही सीमा को भाईबहन का प्यार मिला? रविवार को सुबह 10 बजे जब सीमा के मोबाइल की घंटी बजी तो उस ने उसे लपक कर उठा लिया. स्क्रीन पर अपने बचपन की सहेली नीता का नाम पढ़ा तो वह भावुक हो गई और खुद से ही बोली कि चलो किसी को तो याद है आज का दिन. लेकिन अपनी सहेली से बातें कर उसे निराशा ही हाथ लगी. नीता ने उसे कहीं घूमने चले का निमंत्रण भर ही दिया. उसे भी शायद आज के दिन की विशेषता याद नहीं थी.
How the Generic Drugs We Take May Not Be What They Seem | Carnegie Corporation of New York

Why CPR Training In Schools Should Be A Non-Negotiable Part Of Child Safety Evaluation In Schools
Educational excellence alone is not enough; schools must actively promote child safety. The month of August was a grim reminder that sudden cardiac death in children is not uncommon. In the city of Mumbai, we lost two teenage children following a sudden collapse at school. They could have possibly survived had they received prompt first aid in the form of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and access to a defibrillator (AED).
We Are Here Because You Were There | Carnegie Corporation of New York
In 2004 Suketu Mehta arrived on the literary scene, accompanied by the fully formed voice on display in his nonfiction tour de force about India’s largest city, Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found. The 500-page plus lyrical narrative took as its subjects some of Bombay’s most notorious denizens — its gangsters, crooked cops, and the girls who performed at so-called dance bars before they were shut down over a decade ago.
Our Difficult Daughter
I couldn’t accomplish the simple things that came easily to others: marriage, motherhood The first person to learn that I was pregnant was my partially deaf, doddering 80-year-old father. I would imagine that, after learning she is pregnant, a woman first announces the good news to her partner or her mother. But I had neither.
Going the last mile in child survival in India
It helps to have the right care, at the right time, from the right providers The language of global public health seems to be punctuated by “gaps,” perhaps most starkly on the frontier of child survival where, despite concerted efforts, nearly 18?000 children under the age of 5 years continue to die every day.
How Hillary Clinton can win over Sanders' supporters-commentary
Then, in 1999, under heavy pressure from the financial industry, Glass-Steagall was repealed by President Bill Clinton, unleashing the rise of a number of behemoth banks with combined commercial and investment arms. Less than a decade later, most of them nearly combusted in the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression, requiring billions in taxpayer bailout funds to stay afloat. Today, Wall Street continues to be riddled with systemic risks.
A radical prescription for the Medical Council of India
In 2014, The BMJ launched a campaign against corruption that sparked global interest in the rampant practices of kickbacks for referrals, revenue targets in corporate hospitals, and capitation fees in private medical colleges in India.1 2 3 Change will take time, but a recent standing committee report to the Indian parliament provides reassurance.
