> Our monthly total spend is around $180 with a team of 6, about half technical; our biggest line items are for American models or subscriptions which we probably will be planning to get rid of.)
Please tell more :). Do you pay per token from bedrock / openrouter / somewhere else? How many tokens you use over the month, and how many for each task? Which harnesses?
No biker in Bangalore has time to play kicks and hits with street dogesh. Dogs may chase you at slightest disturbance even if you don't even look at them. You sound like one those "bhadralok" upper class pacifists.
A. You may always travel in an car and stay in a gated apartment. But for people who want to walk in the night or use a motorcycle, they are an absolute menace.
B. Vaccination is impossible in a corrupt and low trust society. If government sponsors vaccinations, there will be a significant portion of dogs which will be marked vaccinated without even vaccinating them. Nevermind counterfeit vaccines: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/867/falsified-rabies-vac... . By what measure can I trust that vaccination is actually successful?
C. They make it very hard to jog or bicycle in residential areas. These would otherwise be good options for fitness.
D. Barking
E. Even vaccinated, they gang up and maul children and elderly.
No civilized society has this sort of "fauna".
Instead, people in civilized societies can jog and walk.
Do you want your children to grow up amidst traffic, potholes, pollution and stray dogs?
Maybe the well-earning FAANG SDEs on here might pretend to escape the reality of Indian metropolis by renting or buying an apartment in a "gated society".
Yet you have to go outside the "gated community" and routinely exposed to the realities of metropolitan India, which exacerbates everything wrong with the country by packing a million of them in one PIN code. This is only going to get worse in the coming years.
There's no solution apart from developing the "tier-2" cities and villages.
Every mediocre "SDE" leetcodemaxxing to work for the same 15-20 top paying companies HQ'd in Eastern Bangalore is not going to end well.
They introduced desktop version, dark theme and multiple accounts post the acquisition by meta. Hate the ad and social stuff they're shoving down, though.
Why would it not work the other way too? Maybe the Western society is hell bent on putting people into boxes, whereas people in third world countries are willing to look the other way for minor deviations [sic] as long as they're useful to their family / village / society?
If you didn't imbibe in your children that the only way to be a "man" is to be the jock on the football team, then maybe far less people would be suffering the dysphorias. Just like how exposure to Instagram causes body dysphoria in both young men and women.
Sexuality is so front-and-center in the Western society unlike many of the third world societies which are below in the 'hierarchy of needs'.
Honest question: wonder why this "gender diverse identities" thing is not as prevalent in low income countries, who may be as much impacted by same plastics and chemicals, or maybe more (because of widespread pollution and neglect).
I was under the impression that Android did something like this upon factory reset (asking for previous PIN before you can set the phone up again). Is it effective?
I can manage this budget with the chinese models in AWS BedRock. However, in my experience, they aren't as good as claude today.
