They were the ones that did math for FUN- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6
Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry.

2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9
Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night.

3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7
Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary.

4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA
This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we?

5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A
Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively.

6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8
Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream?

7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6
Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet.

8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS
Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree.

9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38
This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try.

10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8
Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).'

Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain.

Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. 

It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! 

What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

Yeah, you heard it right. Whatever these “gurus” and course scammers are shilling in the name of prompt engineering and crores of salary is 💩.

Heads up, companies are already working on augmenting prompts using Natural Language Generation techniques which build on top
of Generative techniques like GPT and other Transformer based Architectures.

This is exactly the same as when Search Engines came out and you had to know the right queries to search for to get the answer, perhaps use flags like “site:wikipedia.com” 

Do we have anything like a Search Query Engineer?

As things advance, the human edge of refining prompts will be automated to the highest degrees. Perhaps, Subject Matter Experts will guide for commercial or enterprise level use cases but apart from that….

NO! You will not become rich by becoming a Prompt Engineer.

Perhaps, now is the time to look at the next frontiers of AI and work on the cutting edge, that’s the best way to future-proof.

The researchers have created a computer program called AlphaGeometry that can solve really hard math problems, specifically those related to geometry, without needing any help from humans. Traditional methods involve teaching machines using human-made proofs, but it's expensive and especially challenging for geometry problems.

AlphaGeometry does things differently. It makes its own theorems (math statements) and proofs (reasoning for why the theorems are true) without human input. It's like a computer brain that generates and solves geometry problems on its own.

When tested on a set of difficult math problems similar to those in international math competitions (like the Olympiad), AlphaGeometry outperformed other methods. It solved 25 out of 30 problems, doing better than the previous best method that only solved 10. In fact, it even performed close to the level of a really good human math competitor who wins a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

What's cool is that AlphaGeometry doesn't just spit out answers. It explains its reasoning in a way that humans can understand. It also tackled and solved problems from past math competitions and even discovered a new version of a problem from a competition in 2004.

VC funding based on revenue multiples and profit (😂😂😂) multiples is soon going to be obsolete. 

Common sense says company's valuation should be summation of yearly profits it can generate till the company exists... 

So if reliance has profit of 8 billion $ , market estimates that it's valuation should be around 25x multiple of its profit that is to say that if reliance keeps on generating same amount of profit for year on year, it will not exist after 25 years.

Now tell me, what shelf live does these VC funded startup have?

I honestly don't see all these tom dick and Harry mobile based and web based startups existing by end of this decade thanks to AI revolution.

People are still oblivion to what AI will do to white collar jobs 



Just out of curiosity, is there any single VC funded Indian startup in last 10-15 years which is immensely profitable ? 

Or for that matter any global giants like Amazon, Uber, Airbnb etc. which has turned profitable in Indian territory?

Maths Problem

Software Test - QA

TLDR:
I was reading up on the Navier Stokes equations today and it is so elegant that it might be my favourite math equation. 

Equation 1: ∇u = 0 (conservation of mass) states that the divergence of the velocity vector u is zero, meaning there is no net change in fluid mass.

Equation 2: ρ Du/Dt = -∇p + μ∇^2 u + ρF (conservation of momentum) expresses Newton's second law for fluid flow. It balances the acceleration of fluid particles (LHS) with internal forces (pressure and viscosity) and external forces (gravity or other external influences) on the RHS. 

This equation is foundational for modelling various fluid dynamics scenarios, from celestial bodies like stars and galaxies to F1 cars.

Long Version:
Here's how it works:

Equation 1:

∇u = 0 (conservation of mass)

So, u is velocity that can be represented as (u,v,w) vector, where u,v,w are x,y,z components of the vector.

∇u tells us that we need to do a partial derivative on u.

So,
∇u = ∂u/∂x + ∂v/∂y + ∂w/∂z = 0

or, the partial derivative of every component wrt corresponding direction is 0.


Equation 2:

ρ Du/Dt = -∇p + μ∇^2 u + ρ F (conservation of momentum)

LHS:
Since, u is velocity, then Du/Dt is acceleration and ρ is density. Newton's second law, F = m x a, applies here. Wherein, Du/Dt is acceleration of fluid particles and m is the density of the fluid.

RHS:
-∇p + μ∇^2 are the internal forces of particles hitting into each other while  F represents the external force.

F in most cases is gravity, so one can replace it with g. However, if you put in electromagnetism then, you can combine Navier-Stokes with Maxwell's equations. 

This has over time led to the development of magnetohydrodynamics, ie how stars and galaxies form. You can model the growth of our sun with this.

∇p is our pressure gradient and represents the change in pressure. Essentially, fluids move from high pressure to low pressure.

μ∇^2 represents viscous forces yielding from viscosity.

Imagine this can model aerodynamics of F1 cars.

My thesis has been that finance has been made complex deliberately and it isn't rocket science.

Would love to hear some madeup complexities.

What's the most unnecessarily complex finance Gyan you ever got? By whom?

I never used the Blind app to say, "People connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date". Not giving any shit about that app.

Why don't we start it here again? - NCR people are no less

Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com - No need to beat the shit, just date

Just enough to drop your details in this format.

Example:
M | 29 | Gurgaon | I like this, not that



P.S: I am not taking any ownership for anything happening under this post, I am not a matchmaker. All the best!

Changed the title from Blind Date to Wine Date, cheers to Grapevine ;)

Hi guys as a 26 year female working in an IT service based company, we hardly get 4 lakh per annum so what is the average salary i should earn to maintain a family and if possible please suggest about EMIs and savings we should think about.

PS: I am not talking about high maintenance, just asking the minimum amount for surviving in metros.

Iam a product designer, ui developer, no code   have 2 years experience. 
This is some feeling. Got into company 1yr before when the edtech platform failed in capturing users . The problem statement  was to make a platform to teach machine learning  and data science  for kids between 12_18 age.
Build a complete game ui concept . All like it now the MVP is released ,company said they are focusing on marketing so restructuring. 
Over 100 screens (1000) iterations. 

It was fun designed entire thing myself. Hard to belive I'm out.

This too is an experience  I guess. 
Iam just 26 by the way

Got laid off today, it took 1 hr call to tell me iam layer off.

Is studying NLP even worth it in the age of OpenAI? 😱

During our parents generation, Tuitions were viewed as a Taboo. It was perceived that only the academically weak needed Tuitions.

However all of these changed quickly where we see majority of our generation opting for coaching from Class 8. For today's GenZ, it's a matter of pride if someone gets enrolled in prominent coaching institutes for JEE, AIIMS, CA, UPSC etc.

What do you guys think was the social drivers for such change in attitudes? 
What age did you first opt for Tuition and why do you think your parents accepted tuitions for you?
