Soviet Union, the Communist Party of China retains a firm grip on power. The powerful and feared organization has ruled the nation — home to close to one-fifth of the world's population — for 75 years, surpassing the 74-year Soviet era in Russia. The party survived years of self-inflicted tumult after it took control in 1949. A major course correction in 1978 transformed the country into an industrial giant with an economy second in size only to the United States.

infrastructure industries shrank 1.8% in August from a year earlier, the first contraction in 42 months, compared with 6.1% expansion in the preceding month, according to the official data released on Monday. Experts blamed heavy seasonal showers in August over large swathes of the country, on top of an unfavourable base effect, for the slump. Given their 40% weight in the index of industrial production (IIP), the poor show by the infrastructure industries could limit the August index of industrial production (IIP) expansion to just 1-1.5%, against 4.8% in July, experts said. IIP data for August will be released on October 12. Apart from steel and fertilisers, six of the eight industries-coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, cement and electricity-remained in the negative zone in August, the latest data showed.

fiscal deficit in the first five months of 2024-25 stood at 27% of the annual target — lower than 36% a year ago — despite a spurt in August, showed the official data released on Monday.

Internships have increasingly become a preferred mode of candidate selection for many corporations and most students and corporates prefer 4 to 6 months (one semester) of internships as an appropriate time for learning, says a report.

Security forces on Monday extended the ongoing search operations to new areas in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua and Rajouri districts to hunt down terrorists following recent encounters in the region, officials said. While a policeman and a terrorist were killed and two police officers injured in a fierce gunbattle in remote Kog-Mandli forest village in Billawar tehsil of Kathua district on Saturday evening, a brief exchange of fire took place between terrorists and security forces in Manial Gali in Thanamandi area of Rajouri district on Sunday evening. A massive search operation is going on for the third day in Kathua with cordon extending to over a dozen other villages near the scene of Saturday's encounter, the officials said.

OpenAI used a system of nondisclosure agreements to stifle public criticism from outgoing employees. Current and former OpenAI staffers were paranoid about talking to the press. In May, one departing employee refused to sign and went public in The Times. The company apologized and scrapped the agreements. Then the floodgates opened. Exiting employees began criticizing OpenAI's safety practices, and a wave of articles emerged about its broken promises. These stories came from people who were willing to risk their careers to inform the public. How many more are silenced because they're too scared to speak out? Since existing whistle-blower protections typically cover only the reporting of illegal conduct, they are inadequate here. Artificial intelligence can be dangerous without being illegal. A.I. needs stronger protections — like those in place in parts of the public sector, finance and publicly traded companies — that prohibit retaliation and establish anonymous reporting channels. OpenAI has spent the last year mired in scandal. The company's chief executive was briefly fired after the nonprofit board lost trust in him. Whistle-blowers alleged to the Securities and Exchange Commission that OpenAI's nondisclosure agreements were illegal. Safety researchers have left the company in droves. Now the firm is restructuring its core business as a for-profit, seemingly prompting the departure of more key leaders.

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and peering networks are set to surge in India amid the data centre boom to support increasing IT workloads and strong data consumption by mobile users. IXPs, typically, are physical locations where different networks connect to exchange internet traffic via common switching infrastructure. They are responsible for interconnecting internet service providers (ISPs), content delivery networks (CDNs) such as Cloudfare, Akamai, over-the-top (OTT) players such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, DNS root servers, national and international telco networks and even social media networks like Instagram.
