DEEPSEEK, AND FUTURE OF AI SARASIJ MAJUMDER   DeepSeek came as a big tremor on the AI WORLD. Through ingenious engineering, the Chinese startup has QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY reduced its computing power needs, raising concerns about the future demand for Nvidia’s high-end chips. DeepSeek-R1 became rapidly popular with hundreds of derivative models developed over just in a few days. This has negatively impacted the market value of U.S.-based competitors with Nvidia registering a record loss 27/01/25 -- Black Monday. Tech investor Marc Andreessen has described this as “AI’s Sputnik moment.” This is mainly due to two underlying reasons—the cost-effectiveness of   DeepSeek’s   AI models and their ability to run efficiently on less expensive hardware.  “DeepSeek has had some real innovations,” Nadella said during an investor call after Microsoft reported quarterly results on this Wednesday.   Breakthrough: DeepSeek’s engineers, in their rese...

  TRUMP AND BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP JUS SOLI   AND  JUS SANGUINIS SARASIJ MAJUMDER   Birthright citizenship is a governmental policy under which any child born within a country's borders or territory is automatically granted citizenship in that country—even if their parents are not citizens.

This is sometimes referred to as establishing citizenship through  inheritance  rather th...

In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...

  INDIANS FROM USA WITH INSUFFICIENT DOCUMENTS SARASIJ MAJUMDER   Washington DC: The American Dream has come crashing down for millions and millions of people who line up to get a chance to settle in the United States. Donald Trump has, with one signature, shut the door for them permanently - a door which Joe Biden's administration is accused of exploiting in order to allow illegal immigrants and asylum seekers to get legal entry to the United States. When the CBP One app was launched in October 2020, its use was only to help commercial trucking companies’ schedule cargo inspections at border crossings. But in January 2023, the Biden administration expanded its utility to include unauthorised and illegal migrants seeking asylum or protection in the US from violence, poverty, or persecution in their home countries. According to the documents prepared by the US administration, there are about 20 thousand Indians in America who do not have sufficient valid documents...
