ಸಂಚಿಕೆ 1 19 ಬರಹಗಳು

The week of 29 April 2026

ಆಯ್ಕೆ: Vinay Kambipura

ಇವು ನಿಯಮದಂತೆ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಸಂಪಾದಕರು ಕೈಯಾರೆ ಆರಿಸಿದವು. ಪ್ರತಿ ಬರಹಕ್ಕೂ ಶೀರ್ಷಿಕೆ, ಮಾಧ್ಯಮ, ದಿನಾಂಕ, ಪ್ರಕಾಶಕರ ಪುಟದ ಕೊಂಡಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಪಾದಕರ ಟಿಪ್ಪಣಿ ಮಾತ್ರ. ಪ್ರಕಾಶಕರಿಂದ ಬೇರೇನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಮಾಲೀಕರ ವಿವರ ಹುಡುಕುವಿನದು, ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದಕ್ಕೂ ಆಧಾರದೊಂದಿಗೆ.

My readings this week covering mostly AI

These are picks from by bookmarked pages. Some are from ten years ago which I read again. Browsing through my bookmarks gave me tour of my own journey with reading and discovery. A wild internet search driven through curiosity is what gave me these interesting essays, articles and videos. The internet before the era of social media was a space of random discovery. Just sitting and searching random things in Google search gave us abundant knowledge and experience. It gave us a thrill of discovering new things. This edition is dedicated to the old internet. Hope you enjoy reading it.
