One of the people that I have never had a chance to ever meet and still be heavily intrigued and and influenced by is Gandhi. As a child, I remember being asked to write up an essay on him for my English course. In fact there used to be a book, maybe it still comes out, which had all the generic essays and one of them was on Gandhi. It started with when he was born, his parents, a little bit about his work and then his death - maybe a page or two in all. As a ritual, I mugged that up to vomit it out verbatim in the exam. The perception in my head was - nice guy, cool stuff, but I need to get 10/10 on the exam.

One exciting area of application is the energy sector and in this meetup we will elaborate on how we employ machine learning methods at Discovergy to make energy consumption and generation more transparent and controllable.

Information has increases exponentially along-with the complexity of tasks involved. Limitation on human memory and concentration causes us to make seemingly stupid errors.

The key idea is to identify those aspects of the tasks which are simple/dumb but success depends heavily on their correct execution. Checklists can then be ensured to get these things done.
