Binding Application in Idris

I’ve recently implemented binding application as a language feature in Idris.

Binding syntax and binding-application is an idea I had a couple of yea

Study warns of ‘significant risks’ in using AI therapy chatbots

YouTube’s Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead

For residents with smaller budgets who want to keep their costs low, we rec

Google brings its AI-powered marketing tools to India after ‘Google tax’ repeal

HBO Max comes full circle, and this time your apps will auto-update

The HBO streaming video app became HBO Max when the company added Warner Bros movies and Turner TV shows. In the worst rebrand since Twitter became X, the company later dropped the unique and valuable HBO part of the name and kept the generic and worthless Max part. Two years later, the company is fixing that. It today becomes HBO Max once more – and this time around, your apps should automatically update … Musk still holds the dumbest rebrand award thanks to throwing away a global household n

Introduction to Indian English

Content In less than 200 years since its formal introduction as part of a nascent and westernized education system, English has grown to be the medium through which the people of India communicate with the world, and often with one another. In large parts of a country with several major languages, it vies with Hindi—the most commonly used Indian language—as the spoken language of choice. There is a range of ability from a mere smattering of words, to some amount of rudimentary communication, to

Inertial forces (indirect terms) in problems with a central body

Gravitational systems in astrophysics often comprise a body – the primary – that far outweights the others, and which is taken as the centre of the reference frame. A fictitious acceleration, also known as the indirect term, must therefore be added to all other bodies in the system to compensate for the absence of motion of the primary. In this Research Note, we first stress that there is not one indirect term but as many indirect terms as there are bodies in the system that exert a gravitationa

A Flustered Pam Bondi Tries to Explain Why a Minute Was Missing From the Epstein Jail Video

Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked by reporters Tuesday about Jeffrey Epstein, causing President Donald Trump, who was sitting near her at the White House, to become indignant that anyone was still asking about the sex offender who was found dead in a jail cell in 2019. Bondi gave a very confusing response about both her past comments on Epstein and a one-minute gap in the video released by the U.S. Department of Justice. But only after Trump berated the reporter for even asking about Epstein

People Hated the ‘Squid Game’ Ending, so They’re Using AI to Make New Ones

Pissing people off with your series finale is practically a rite of passage for beloved TV shows at this point. Just ask fans of The Sopranos, or Dexter, or Game of Thrones. And if you’re feeling butt hurt by your favorite TV show’s subpar ending, you may be tempted to imagine a whole new one—an ending where Tony gets whacked, or survives some kind of epic John Wick-style shootout, or, I don’t know, assembles all the Infinity Stones and becomes the supreme ruler of mobsters across the universe.
