ARDE Shuts Down PL-15 Myths; Confirms Astra's 160-240 km Reach Through Indigenous Innovation
During the Operation Sindoor of Indian Military on Pakistan, a chinese PL-15 missile was reported to been shot by Pakistani Fighter Jet but did neither did it hit its target nor did it blast on impact, hence it was confiscated by India as it fell in Indian territory.
Since then, there have been claims that India has reverse engineered it to upgrade its existing Astra air-to-air missile system.
The claims have been shut down by Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), a key pillar of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), claiming that this is completely the result of Indigenous advancements and not some stolen tech. He emphasized that the work on extending range of Astra Mk-1 from 110Km to 160Km and Astra Mk-2 from 160Km to 240Km was on priority from the very start and denied any such claims of reverse engineering.

Far too much has already been said and written about Noam Chomsky, and some of it has the counter-productive effect of further enhancing his myth.redsails.org
Epstein has always had close ties to MIT and there was a big scandal about them accepting donations.
It's also been own for several years that Chomsky stayed at Epstein's Paris home at least once, and publicly apologized for his association with Epstein iirc.

Francophones are now the highest priority group of skilled workers, passing over better-qualified applicants who don’t speak FrenchThe Editorial Board (The Globe and Mail)

Not sure how different things are today than in 2003 but back then it was easier to immigrate to QC as well. It took 6-8 months to immigrate to QC and 3-5 years for the rest of Canada.
I don't think it's a bad idea to prioritize other parameters than growth in our immigration programs. Even though I might lose a great junior on my team who's working on PR and learning French to get it. 😅
Am not a francophone and I live in ON btw.

The $100 Billion Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has privately played down likelihood original deal will be finalized, although the two companies will continue to have a close collaborationThe companies unveiled the giant agreement last September at Nvidia’s Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters. They announced a memorandum of understanding for Nvidia to build at least 10 gigawatts of computing power for OpenAI, and the chip maker also agreed to invest up to $100 billion to help OpenAI pay for it. As part of the deal, OpenAI agreed to lease the chips from Nvidia.
At the time, the ChatGPT-maker expected the deal negotiations to be completed in the coming weeks, people familiar with the plans said. But the talks haven’t progressed beyond the early stages, some of the people said.
Now, the two sides are rethinking the future of their partnership, some of the people said. The latest discussions, they said, include an equity investment of tens of billions of dollars as part of OpenAI’s current funding round.

Why are email users comparable to paraplegics. What are they unable to do that everyone else can?
This feels like clarifying with mud.
