  1. How Many Decimals of Pi Do We Really Need? - This article explains that even for NASA's highest accuracy calculations, such as interplanetary navigation, only a small number of pi's decimals are needed. For example, JPL uses pi to the 15th decimal place (3.141592653589793). The article illustrates this by calculating the circumference of Voyager 1's distance from Earth, the circumference of Earth, and even the circumference of the known universe, demonstrating that only a limited number of decimal places are necessary for accurate calculations, even at vast scales. My Take : We often get super excited about accuracy and going to crazy lengths to achieve it. But, honestly, for any everyday functional use of pi, having 3 digits after the decimal gives you really good accuracy, which is usually within the range of error from other stuff anyway. In fact, that article mentions 37 decimals would be enough to calculate the circumference of the observable universe with the ac...

My current thoughts on starting up

In case you are intrigued by the words, 'current thoughts' well I don't know anyone who has changed their thinking more in the last decade on various different things than me. I think it will be changing as things do and as I evolve as a person. So that's me right now. Starting up on my own venture has been on my mind for a long long time. But it has not really taken any real shape till now. My mom still jokes that I wanted to start adda.com while in school. You know it never started. I had ever since thought of different things but never made them into real life. Closest I ever got was to get a prototype built and showcase it but then again never pushed it. Of late I realise that I have a very crucial element missing which leaves me directionless after some time. I don't have a clear goal and mission for myself while building anything. The only goal at times is to build something. Guess builder culture is ingrained in me. So I gave myself some time to think about ...
