India is Seeing Strong Economic Growth
The growth rate of index of eight core industries in India increased by 7.8 percent in January, the Indian federal ministry of commerce and industry said here Tuesday.
"The combined index of eight core industries increased by 7.8 percent (provisional) in January 2023 as compared to the index of January 2022. The production of fertilizers, coal, electricity, steel, natural gas, cement and refinery products increased in January 2023 over the corresponding month of last year," a statement issued by the ministry said.
Among the core industries, coal production increased by 13.4 percent year-on-year in January, while crude oil production saw 1.1 percent decline during the same period.
Natural gas and petroleum refinery products increased 5.3 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively, in January.
Fertilizers production in January increased by 17.9 percent and steel production increased by 6.2 percent year-on-year.
Cement production increased by 4.6 percent and electricity production increased 12.0 percent year-on-year in January.
According to the ministry, the eight core industries comprise 40.27 percent of the weight of items included in the Index of Industrial Production.
Meanwhile, the cumulative growth rate of index of eight core industries during April-January 2022-23 was 7.9 percent (provisional) as against 11.6 percent during the same period in last fiscal year.
NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.
NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.
The Problem Is Not the Problem
People treat the Jack Sparrow line as a joke. The attribution is a joke. The sentence is not. Forty years in markets says the same thing Epictetus said in 125 CE and Robert Merton named in 1948: the event is finite, and the story you appoint to govern it is not. This essay walks the quote back to its actual sources, draws the loop that turns a feeling into an order, and sets out the four places a rule written in advance cuts the loop. Faith is not a hedge. It is a stance.
What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence
The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.
AI Intelligence Scales. Accountability Does Not. Why KXCO Is Built for It.
Capability is becoming abundant and everything abundant gets cheap. What does not get cheap is the person who has to sign, and they can only carry what they can see. Four conditions follow from that, and four independent authorities reached the first of them last month without knowing it.
