Building a time machine

I am instead building data pipelines

Learning how to drive here - its about unlearning Indian driving habits than learning new stuff

Ex, I just honked right after starting the car, to the horror of my friend - the car owner helping me out 😂

Btw, do cars here come with a "disable horn" option?

Overall, it still feels I am on some holiday and I am going back to India soon. How long will it take before it sinks in this is our new home?

This is all for now, I will keep posting to this thread with whatever I find interesting here

6. Numbers everywhere- for roads, intersections, addresses, govt forms etc. Again, good memory exercises (5/)

5. Dynamic pricing - here prices vary significantly between stores, there are different discounts with memberships and promos etc, specific card offers etc. Which means you do a lot of mental math to optimise for all these and need to remember a lot of numbers. Keeps you sharp 😊 (4/)

4. Shelf life of foods - most surprising for me - I still can't believe milk and dosa batter can last weeks without getting spooled. They say no preservatives, but how? I believe the laws of physics and biology remain the same here? (3/)

2. Weather changing frequently each day - rainy, sunny, and near freezing weather all within 2 days is something that rivals Bangalore's dynamic weather

3. Cars - Didn't realise you rent cars even when you travel to other cities. You just can't survive without your own car. (2/)

Amazing!!

Quite likely. Perplexity doesn't have any problem generating the name using gpt-4o, so the base model seems fine- not likely an issue with tokenisation.
Mostly some censor check which is only on chatgpt is detecting the word in response and interrupting
