2025.01.18 04:01 Distinct_Truth_7763 What's that one thing that made you believe that you would crack this exam?
People with such strong backgrounds, prestigious jobs, and great opportunities have started preparing for the UPSC exam. What was the one thing that made you believe you could do it? How did you counter the fear or thoughts of not being selected?
I want to prepare for this exam, but I'm afraid of the possibility of not cracking it, given that there are only around 1,000 seats available. Could you please share some of your belief stories? I really need to hear them. The fear of failure is something I’m struggling with.
A little about my background: I’m a 27-year-old unmarried male from the unreserved category, working as a Senior Consultant at a Big 4 firm with a 20 LPA salary. I graduated from a Tier-1 college.

2025.01.18 04:01 ColCrockett How are Republican voters not embarrassed at the state of American infrastructure?
I’ve always leaned republican but the republican attitude towards infrastructure has always turned me off.
120 years ago the country was on the cutting edge of infrastructure and yet today it is woefully behind even developing countries. Every time I travel, I get embarrassed at the state of American infrastructure.
American roads (the one form of infrastructure we spend real money on) are built so cheaply. All over the world you find roads with reflectors built into the lane markers, even on small two lane roads. Yet most American roads don’t have them.
Most airports are old and decrepit. Seaports are literally the least efficient and least automated in the developed world. I don’t know how many places in the U.S. I’ve been where I see people walking on busy roads because there’s no sidewalk. Literally every major road in the UK has a sidewalk next to it.
US passenger rail is so far behind that countries like Indonesia are doing a better job. There are at least 15-20 cities that need genuine subway systems and regional heavy rail. The U.S. has no high speed rail (Acela doesn’t count). There are accidents all the time because we still don’t have grade separate crossings in much of the country.
Most of our electricity is transmitted on wooden poles instead of being buried.
Hell even a city like London (with great public transport) has 18000 public ev charging ports compared to the paltry 1900 in NYC.
It’s embarrassing traveling and seeing much poorer countries with better infrastructure. Baghdad is literally building a whole subway system as we speak! A country that’s been at war for 20 years and yet we won’t do anything.

2025.01.18 04:01 nikhilshxrma Need Your Advice ! Anyone from ORN ?
Hi, I am starting my UPSC preparation and I am 22 years old. Although I am from Delhi, I want to study in a library in ORN (Old Rajinder Nagar) to gain tips and experience from seniors. I already have a basic understanding of all GS subjects, and my optional subject is History.
I want to know if there are people in ORN who can genuinely guide me. Are the people there friendly, or are there more chances of getting misguided? My primary goal is to go there for exposure and experience, as I will eventually study on my own.
Could you recommend a good library in ORN where I can meet seniors and gain this kind of exposure?
Please guide me.

2025.01.18 04:01 Secure_Detective_602 Why are used Tesla Model 3s still so high?
I’ve been looking for a 2022 Model 3 RWD. It seems most sellers are asking on average $45k+, and yet you can buy an updated 2025 brand new for $59k.
My expectation for these is around $38-40k or so, but seems many sellers still think these cars are worth way more than they are. I assume this has to do with them having paid so much 2 years ago?

2025.01.18 04:01 Chance-Author436 Social security benefits
I am currently on an H1B visa and plan to move back to India in next 2-3 years. I have been in the US and have been contributing to social security taxes (income:400K). If I move back to India would I ever see the benefit from this contribution? Is there a way to get the social security benefits in India at retirement? Or any other agreements between US and India where I could get some credit for all the social security taxes I have been paying for 15 years.

2025.01.18 04:01 No_Afternoon_4260 Grokking at the Edge of Numerical Stability
https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.04697
Grokking, the sudden generalization that occurs after prolonged overfitting, is a surprising phenomenon challenging our understanding of deep learning. Although significant progress has been made in understanding grokking, the reasons behind the delayed generalization and its dependence on regularization remain unclear. In this work, we argue that without regularization, grokking tasks push models to the edge of numerical stability, introducing floating point errors in the Softmax function, which we refer to as Softmax Collapse (SC). We demonstrate that SC prevents grokking and that mitigating SC enables grokking without regularization. Investigating the root cause of SC, we find that beyond the point of overfitting, the gradients strongly align with what we call the naïve loss minimization (NLM) direction. This component of the gradient does not alter the model's predictions but decreases the loss by scaling the logits, typically by scaling the weights along their current direction. We show that this scaling of the logits explains the delay in generalization characteristic of grokking and eventually leads to SC, halting further learning. To validate our hypotheses, we introduce two key contributions that address the challenges in grokking tasks: StableMax, a new activation function that prevents SC and enables grokking without regularization, and ⊥Grad, a training algorithm that promotes quick generalization in grokking tasks by preventing NLM altogether. These contributions provide new insights into grokking, elucidating its delayed generalization, reliance on regularization, and the effectiveness of existing grokking-inducing methods.
