Yes. For http://ht3.org which is a search engine I wrote for tech related articles. It works really well. It uses the fts5 extension, that allows full text searching. There are over a million indexed pages and it’s no trouble.

Further, meaning is an ever-evolving, ever-mutating process much like the universe.
Training on symbols cannot arrive at meaning, since the meaning isn’t contained in those symbols. Using past symbols, also means no room for evolution.
Machine learning does work though in areas where the needs of the end goal are densely present in the symbols being used for training.
Like recognizing text. We learn to recognize those marks from just the marks, and nothing else. And so those marks contain all that is needed to recognize them. This can be encoded/learned.
But what they mean isn’t encoded in them, nor is it in words, in sounds, in facial expressions, in tones, in body gestures. It may even lie in between us, rather than in us.
Just as architecture has failed. Just look at those buildings!
Art has failed! What happened?! Where are the Michelangelos? The Leonardos? The Picassos?
There are many more people writing code now. History will only remember the greats, and forget the rest.
There were always websites that loaded poorly. Even "back then". And there were good ones too. Same as today.
If you can, reduce screen time. No more than 3-4 hours a day. If you can't, take a computer free day every 2-3 days.
This has helped me more than any setting, or app.
It should be pounds, not Kg. "Elephants eat roots, grasses, fruit, and bark, and they eat a lot of these things. An adult elephant can consume up to 300 pounds of food in a single day"

Not convincing.
Are there any incentive systems in place to ensure that companies being traded on your exchange don't take part in these destructive practices, or is it simply that they agreed to your policies?
What are the incentives and how do you hold a company to a long term orientation. A company is free to choose and change its vision/strategy as time goes by. Do they get delisted if they move away from this orientation. How do you measure such an intangible and act on it?
If there were an explicit confirmation asking me each time if I really wanted to allow camera access (like a delete file confirmation), I might consider not using a cover. And you can have a ‘don’t ask me again’ for this app option.
Quite spammy.
In IT I infrequently hear anyone say IT.

Improve another thing. And repeat.
Fix a broken latch in your home. Improve your code a few lines at a time. It adds up.
You don't need to become a creator. When you stop depending on outside agency, and just be, creation comes quite automatically.
It is hard to stop consuming. Because you believe that there is something in the video, the book, the blog, your friend's post, that is going to give you something. But what is the value of these things?
You can only give up consuming when you see the vapidity and the emptiness of what you are consuming. And you can only do that when you question what you are consuming. Question it's relevance. It's meaning.
Have you consumed this post and the replies? What now? What is it's value? Has this post changed you? Will you now at this moment, stop reading and delete all your social media accounts and go work on your project?
Then ask, what do you mean by contribute to society? What is society? Is it your friends? Does making an app that makes their lives easier, give you the feeling that you are contributing?
Or do you mean Society at large, where the problems are vast like hunger, disease, poverty, inane war and violence. Or is it solving the crippling effect that the education system has on generations of children world-wide making them into passive consumers, by years of exposure to images and ideas, not reality and learning.
Finally, what is your need to contribute? Is it a way to make yourself look better in your own eyes? By becoming a popular writer/anarchist/whatever. Or is it that you see the need for real work that needs to be done to fix the broken world we live in?
Stop consuming. Learn what is worth doing by looking at the world, with skepticism. Understand what is needed. Depend on yourself. Then the creation will come of its own.
Besides, if self evolved as a response to cheating, we must explain cheating outside of the concept of self. Why would you cheat if you are not separate as an individual?
Maybe there is an easy way to decrypt them using some other information in the output, but I haven't looked further.

Uber is a breath of fresh air here. It doesn't force a destination, you can instantly know whether cars are available or not, generally arrives in 10 minutes or so, and there is no cash payment needed.
Where price is concerned, they've now managed to figure out the right pricing, so that an Uber ride costs only marginally more than a regular cab ride. e.g. Home to work takes around Rs 200 for a regular cab. Uber costs anywhere from Rs 220 (Uber X), to 350 (Uber Black).
