(२) ही चारही कडवी वेगवेगळ्या कालखंडात लिहिली गेली आहेत. (३) पहिले कडवे मराठीत असून उरलेली कडवी संस्कृत भाषेत आहेत.

You have used dishwasher salt, ever wondered what is it ? Dishwasher salt   is a particular grade of   granulated ,   crystalline   sodium chloride   intended for regenerating the   water softener   circuit of household or industrial   dishwashers . Analogous to   water softener   salt, dishwasher salt regenerates   ion exchange resins , expelling the therein trapped   calcium   and   magnesium   ions   that characterize   hard water . Dishwater salt granules are larger than those of   table salt . The granule size ensures that the   salt   dissolves slowly, and that fine particles do not block the softener unit. Dishwasher salt is unsuitable for cooking as it is not considered food grade and therefore may contain toxic elements. If a dishwasher has a built-in water softener there will be a special compartment inside the dishwasher where the salt is to be added when needed. This salt compartment is separate from the detergent compartment, and generally located at the bottom of the wash

 India has launched it's indigenous mission Aditya L1 from Sriharikota on 2nd September 2023 to study the Sun. The Satellite is expected to exit Earth's gravity on 16 days. While it may take around 100 days to reach the L1 orbit around the Sun. I wondered what's so special about L1 Lagrange orbit? Why can't it use any random orbit? I found some interesting information, this post summarizes it. NASA Solar System Exploration Our Galactic Neighborhood Skip Navigation menu RESOURCES What is a Lagrange Point? Source:  NASA/WMAP Science Team Published:  March 27, 2018 What are they? Lagrange Points Lagrange points are positions in space where objects sent there tend to stay put. At Lagrange points, the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them. These points in space can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position. Above description highlights the importance of u

Yesterday I visited Lalbagh for Mango festival. This is a yearly festival held in the month of June.   There were all varieties of mangoes for sale, with farmers from different districts like Ramanagaram, Kolar around Bangalore. The profits directly go to the farmers who grow the trees as there are no middle men.

Recently I came across a post on whether AI will replace software developers. You might have heard about ChatGPT the AI library or Github's co pilot. All the developers are scared that soon their jobs will be replaced by AI. Some have predicted that to happen by year 2030.  So what is the threat? Day by day no of software companies are growing and so the no of developers in market as the new lot of freshers are entering the market.  The scale with which the AI tools are improving is tremendous. Eventually good code is just few lines of structured program. And the amount of existing code available in code repositories like github is huge enough to train the AI. Over the coming years AI can be as good as developer with experience of 50 years! Following areas are under immediate threat 1. Code generation  2. Testing & debugging  3. project management Following professions are safe from AI 1. Creative  2. Healthcare 3. Skilled workers like welders, plumbers 4. Education  5. Resea
