We're going to talk about some things that helped me get to where I am today.So, thank you for coming and let's get into it. Can I ...

Hello everybody, namaskar. My name is Ashwini WHMA and uh I'm a CTO. I'm a co-founder.So two weeks ago I was deep into building a new AI feature for our application. Lines of codes were open, bugs everywhere, deadlines were approaching. Some might say it's a normal day for a developer.So my co-founder walks in and says, "Ashwini, you have been invited to speak at TEDex." TEDex, isn't that a big platform. And my first thought was, am I worthy of inspiration. Maybe yes, maybe no.But one thing I am certain abo ...

Hi everyone, my name is Mila B. I am 17 years old and I am a singer. From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a singer and I intend to spend the rest of my life singing.But I am here today because I have a strange hope. I hope that I can convince all of you that you should sing too. Even if you think you can't hold a note or even if you think you sound like a tortured animal when you get the karaoke mic.I believe that song can rise above all the noise of life as it's become mediated by loweffort, low ef ...

Thank you for coming and thank you for TEDex and Nepali for your invitation. Um I'm going to be a little different from the earlier speaker because I'm an academic. So um I'm going to try to be almost as lively but I'm pretty sure that I won't.So I want to talk about the central intersection between love and likes today. And I'm going to start with a story that is a bit negative um about what you guys will now know as limrance. But I will transition to a happier part of the story.Don't worry. Okay. So let's ...

After a hectic day at work, we were shifted to a hotel which was there on a beach. And while going into the hotel, the receptionist said, "You look tired. Why don't you have a stroll on the beach? Get down on the beach and refresh yourself." But stop. Remove your shoes and then go down to the beach. Okay, we removed our shoes and we moved down to the beach.In the initial stage, the sand appeared to be very warm. But as slowly we moved down to the water, it turned out to be refreshing. Earlier we thought tha ...

you have a hundred million dollars in undisclosed assets. And what I'm asking is are any of those with uh this outfit that invests in um uh companies affiliated with President Trump or his family companies that have facilitated money laundering, Chinese control companies or financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein. It's a yes or no question.Uh, Senator, I have worked tirelessly with the ethics officials at the office of government ethics and you have not come to an ethics agreement and have agreed, sena ...

So let me be very clear. Monetary policy independence is essential. Monetary policy makers must act in the nation's interest.Their decisions the product of rigor, deliberation, and unclouded decision-making. And as Senator Warren said, I do not believe that independence of monetary policy is threatened when elected officials state their views on rates. Fed independence is up to the Fed.That has three implications. First, Congress is tasked with the mission to ensure price stability. Inflation is the Fed's c ...

the risk of sounding a little dramatic, I think that we could experience a dead internet outcome in the next 3 years. I do think it's possible, maybe not likely, but you know, what does that mean. It means that in a world where humans just speak to AI to get the responses that they need, the incentive to publish content diminishes to the point of zero.We underestimate just how much we rely on first-party reporting to feed the information that AI uses to answer questions or to feed the information that appea ...

In these unusual and exigent circumstances, I saw the Fed and its people at their very best. But I also witnessed an institution that was tempted to play a larger role in the economy and society. So let me be very clear.Monetary policy independence is essential. Monetary policymakers must act in the nation's interest. Their decisions the product of rigor, deliberation, and unclouded decision-making.And as Senator Warren said, I do not believe that independence of monetary policy is threatened when elected o ...

I'm sure many of you use or hear your children using the teenage slang going around today. Words like low key, bet, or bruh. Well, in my family, those words don't get laughs.They get push-ups. If my brothers or I slip up, it's 20 push-ups on the spot. We'll be mid-con conversation.My dad storms in like a drill instructor, shouting, "Drop and give me 20." As you can guess, I come from a family forged by the sea. My dad served the Navy for over 20 years. First as a submariner and then as a surgeon.My uncle wa ...
