The length is what shocks people.
Paste to ChatGPT: "Go through every conversation we've had. Tell me everything you've figured out about me: personality, priorities, fears, habits, income range, where I likely live, what I'm probably dealing with right now. Use what I've said and what I've avoided. Be specific."

Gulf war and India’s economic resilience is the new case study.
Read it why:
1/5
When geopolitical shocks hit the Gulf region, the expectation globally was familiar: oil spikes, supply disruptions, panic buying and pressure on import-dependent economies. India faced the same external shock, but the outcome looked different.
According to CEA V. Anantha Nageswaran’s analysis, India passed its first major stress test with stability. There were no widespread fuel shortages, no disruptions in LPG delivery to households, and no panic behavior in domestic markets.
The significance is larger than it appears. India imports nearly 85% of its crude oil requirement, which historically would make the country highly vulnerable during Gulf disruptions.
Yet the economy absorbed the initial shock without severe dislocation. Resilience in this context is not luck; it reflects years of building buffers and institutional preparedness.
The story here is not that India escaped global volatility entirely, but that the country demonstrated a stronger ability to absorb and manage external stress.

A major reason India remained stable was diversification in energy sourcing. Earlier, dependence on a narrow group of suppliers created concentration risk.
Over the last few years, India expanded sourcing across regions and built flexibility into procurement strategies. During recent disruptions, India increased purchases from suppliers outside the Gulf region and expanded imports from markets such as the United States and Russia. Reports indicated U.S.
LPG imports moving toward record levels, helping offset pressure from Gulf supply routes. This matters because resilience in energy security is not just about having more oil; it is about reducing dependence on a single geography or route.
A country with diversified supply chains has more room to adapt when shocks emerge. The lesson is straightforward: strategic diversification acts like insurance during global uncertainty.
India’s ability to adjust sourcing rapidly reduced vulnerability and prevented the energy shock from becoming a broader economic crisis.

Another important dimension was shielding households from the sharpest impact of the price shock. International energy costs increased significantly during the period of uncertainty.
However, policymakers attempted to prevent the entire burden from being immediately transferred to consumers. CEA V. Anantha Nageswaran highlighted that import-linked LPG costs rose above ₹1,600, while household prices remained around ₹900, with adjustments occurring elsewhere in the system.
This approach helped reduce pressure on family budgets during a volatile period. For an economy the size of India, protecting household purchasing power has broader consequences because consumption remains a key growth driver.
If sudden increases in fuel and cooking costs directly hit millions of households, secondary effects spread across demand, inflation and sentiment. Economic resilience therefore is not only about preserving supply chains and financial indicators; it is also about protecting citizens from the most disruptive consequences of external shocks.

Most notably, we highlight a recent idea from Liu & Kaplan (2025) to use quantile regression to estimate intensive-margin logarithmic relationships, which is possible even with 0s/negatives in the data. 2/

Idea: in mean regression, the point estimate is computed with every value in the outcome, so even one non-positive value messes up logarithmic slope estimation. But quantile regression doesn't use every value to compute the point estimate, just the conditional quantiles. 3/
Mix&Match by @_evgeny_s is a mixed-reality (MR) system designed to bypass traditional 3D modeling for personal fabrication. Instead of building objects from scratch, users browse repositories (e.g., Thingiverse), preview models in their physical environment in-situ, and perform direct geometric operations to remix and adapt them

Most people think Surah al-Fātiḥah is an introduction.
It isn’t.
It’s the only chapter in the Qur’an where Allah answers you after every verse you recite.
Once you know this, you’ll never pray the same way again.
It isn’t.
It’s the only chapter in the Qur’an where Allah answers you after every verse you recite.
Once you know this, you’ll never pray the same way again.
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah says:
“I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he asks.”
Every time you recite al-Fātiḥah, you’re not delivering a monologue.
You’re having a conversation with your Lord.

1/ In another sign of worsening economic problems in Russia, a fifth of the fleets of the country's largest airlines have been taken out of operation. The idling of the aircraft has been blamed on equipment failures and extended maintenance incurred by the effect of sanctions. ⬇️
2/ The Russian newspaper Kommersant reports that almost a third of the fleet – 93 out of 322 aircraft – is now idle at the eight largest carriers. This breaks down as follows for the top five airlines:
3/✈️ Aeroflot – 37 out of 349 aircraft are out of service
✈️ S7 Airlines – 33 out of 104 (about a third of the fleet)
✈️ Ural Airlines – 10 out of 51
✈️ Nordwind Airlines – 12 out of 27 (44%)
✈️ Azur Air – 17 out of 23 aircraft (74%)

1) 🇯🇵 A Japanese group published their hypothesis of Long Covid.
They suspect SARSCoV-2 causes a reactivation of another virus (HHV-6B) in the olfactory bulb where it produces a protein (SITH-1) that reduces acetylcholine levels in the brain.
Let's have a closer look...

2) These researchers had previously done a mouse experiment where SARS-CoV-2 spike (S1) protein in the nasal cavity caused fatigue- and depression-like symptoms and reduced acetylcholine.
Symptoms were improved with the drug donepezil (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor)
Symptoms were improved with the drug donepezil (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor)
3) They then tested donepezil in randomized controlled trial of 110 Long Covid patients but unfortunately it did not have any significant effect on fatigue or depression. Link here:
