How to Take Apple Orchards on Lease?

This post details the pricing aspect of apple orchard lease. There are a number of factors such as health of tree, health of spurs etc. which determine the output. I will try to keep things generic here. The final price depends on: 1. The size 2. The degree of coloring 3. Time of sale per crate average realized price should be around 700 rs. It can be more if proper care is taken and market rates are good. If the markets are very bad or the product quality is not good, realized price can drop to 600. Per crate expense will vary depending on location and size of trees. A safe assumption  can be 200 rs per crate for good quality care excluding transport (it will be less if you do the run of the mill thing. but it is better to spend and realize more per crate). Transportation and other expenses can be assumed around 100 (Again it can be a bit less depending on the location). Lets say you want to net 150-200 rs per crate. Take the average yield of last 6 years for calculating ...

Focus Areas

NLP including chatbot, IE. Health Simplified Ecom and Digital Marketing Finance Data Service This is still a bit much for a single person . I will have to narrow it down further or get into partnerships. Thinking of hiring an intern. Will start with ecommerce. It will incorporate a lot of things. B2B should require less investment. Fuckers have hacked my laptop. fucking useless indians.

Dealing with Pain

Main ways include: 1.Distract 2. Understand it 3. Just be 4. Channel it

On Alexa

Tried alexa. Pretty cool it is. But it is not without its limitations.

A Men's Movement

First topic on agenda will be: Women should not be allowed to get fat. If you think about it, men are mostly utilitarian tools for women. Women are both utilitarian and aesthetic(or pleasure) tools for men. However, in general, men have a lot more utilitarian value than women. So, we can safely conclude that to a certain extent a women's value is derived from aesthetic aspect. If she gets fat, she loses that value. Hence, the relationship becomes imbalanced. This should be enacted as a law.

On Sentence Embeddings

Is 4800 really a solution for handling the curse of dimensionality? I think parsers can significantly reduce dimensionality.

Effort Doesn't Matter

Effort doesn't matter. Hard work doesn't matter. Only results matter.

On Bio Hacking

Meditation helps in biohacking. It alters the brain structure. A buddhist monk did not wince in pain when he was being burned alive. I guess intense meditation had resulted in some sort of biohacking.

Phd in Suffering

I think I have completed my Phd in suffering. Or maybe I am still in school. I  can probably put this degree in my resume.

Life is Boring

Life is not worth living. 8th Feb I have become heavily depressed. I think the idea of retreat not coming to fruition is causing depression. I was looking forward to it so much. I think I will die of heartbreak if it doesnt work.

On Bullying

People continue to bully and abuse me. Quorans suggest that I should consider self termination.

On Importance of Awareness

Most of the issues arise due to lack of awareness. Being aware of your thoughts can dispel a lot of problems.

Starting Deep Learning in NLP

Should help overcome limitations. Will not make it end to end. Things have to be built on top of parsers. Supervised learning will be kept to minimum.

On Information Extraction

Started work on information extraction. Should be done in a couple of weeks. Finance is on back burner for now. It has become boring. I think if I use numpy to store word embeddings(Glove etc.),  I can use it similar to LSA for document comparison etc. LSA stores document and component matrix along with word and component matrix. Embeddings store word and component matrix. I think LSA gets the components for each word and adds them to get a final vector. This is then cosined with all the document vectors (they are also the sum of word components) to identify similar documents. I can replicate this using word embeddings. Essentially LSA is cosine distance (not using words but components (more popularly referred to as dimensions)) but with an added benefit of dimensionality reduction which exploits the latent semantics of words to give better results than simple cosine distance (using words only). Both are essentially doing the same thing. The method of getting the embedding is ...

AI Based Sherlock Novel

Will write an AI based sherlock novel. Should be fun. The AI will replace sherlock.

Is Doing Right Important

How important is doing the right thing??

The Folly of Old and Young

Every generation thinks it is wiser than the next generation and more intelligent than the previous generation. But does thinking matter? Your opinion is clouded by own experiences. Although some things remain nearly same, most of the things are in a flux.

The Occasional Enlightenment

Peace and enlightenment come to me occasionally. Stays with me for atmost a day or two. Then back to chaos. I think smoking helps with peace.

What is it like to believe in nothing?

You have no anchor. No long term goals. Frequent episodes of existential crisis and existential depression. On the other hand, absolute freedom. No attachments and relationships are also part of that.

How to Deal With Pain?

The best way is to understand it. Ultimately it will boil down to pleasure and pain survival circuits. Then start living in the moment. Suffering is optional. Everything in life is overrated. Pain served an evolutionary purpose during earlier times. It still does. But a lot of things have changed due to human progress. However,  to some extent, biological circuits tuned over a million years are still operating in previous mode.  If you think about it, there is no reason you cannot override the pain. Stop playing the victim. Instead plan revenge. This will also help in overcoming pain.

On Mental Health

Give the person some time to recover. Then give them a choice of peaceful death.

Focusing on Health

Have intensified efforts on the health front. More physical activity, cutting out junk food almost completely, focusing on green veggies, and reducing smoking. It is imperative to maintain health if I want to live alone.
