National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 75% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

49 posts held, back to 20 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 93 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.
| Window | Rolling 30 days · latest post in window 19 October 2026 |
|---|---|
| Posts held | 49 (20 July 2026 – 19 October 2026) |
| Views total | 88,470 |
| Reactions total | 2,327 |
| Forwards / comments | not exposed by the public surface — not measured, not estimated |
| Readings taken | 21 Oct 2026, 07:49 UTC |
Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 21 October 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
7,231 reactions across 45 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 47.7% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔥 | 3,452 | 47.7% | |
| 👍 | 2,863 | 39.6% | |
| 🙏 | 753 | 10.4% | |
| 👎 | 163 | 2.25% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 48 of the 49 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 7,641 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 49 most recent posts we hold, published 20 July 2026 to 19 October 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Смотря на очередной раунд индийских протестов размышляю о том, что феномен Рахула Ганди конечно уникален. Десять с лишним лет оппозицию в крупнейшей парламентской системе мира фактически возглавляет человек, который…нет, мне он даже симпатичен, похож на либерального барина-англомана конца позапрошлого века, Стива Облонский или кто-то вроде. Явно очень жизнелюбив, добр и снисходителен к простолюдинам, да и сам по себе…

Посреди августовской суеты ходил на канал Москва 24 поговорить про те страны Южной Азии, которые не являются Индией. По результатам тогдашней беседы в «Мослектории» вышел мой краткий ликбез про Пакистан — https://lectory.m24.ru/lecture/index/1621

Не до конца понимаю смысла существования Нобелевской премии мира, но в этот раз она досталась Наванитхам Пиллэй — судье из Южной Африки, чьи предки переселились в Дурбан из Индии практически одновременно с Ганди.

Друзья, я снова набираю группы для начинающих. На этот раз их будет две. Одна - по изучению тамильского языка (два раза в неделю по 90 минут). Вторая - малаялам (раз в неделю по 90 минут). В занятиях будут участвовать мои коллеги по Университету Гамбурга - филологи, носители соответствующих языков (тамильский - Нила Бхаскар, малаялам - Абхирами Пракасан). О себе: я филолог-тамилист, дравидолог, переводчик с тамильск…

Как-то я писал, что у моей жены вышла книга про фанфикшн, а сейчас сообщаю, что 10 октября в Москве в магазине «Пиотровский» по этому поводу будет авторская лекция «История литературы — история её читателей: от книжного клуба до фанфика» — про выдуманные вселенные, кроссоверы и фанатские сообщества. Зову всех интересующихся заходить (и буду благодарен за репосты)

Рамануджан сурово смотрит на гуманитариев

Но он этого не сделал, а стал Рамануджана тянуть. Нашёл ему работу (а ресурс любого чиновника по «протекциям» ограничен, все это понимают), познакомил с Рамачандрой Рао — ещё одним налоговым чиновником и математиком-любителем. И почти три года Айер, Рао и ещё несколько человек пытались заинтересовать Рамануджаном знакомых математиков в метрополии — пока наконец не нашли в Кембридже человека, который смог понять, чем…

История Вивекананды навела меня на размышления о ещё одном индийце, который стал знаменитым в начале XX века — математике Сринивасе Рамануджане. И эта история о том, как несправедлив бывает миф о гении. Итак, что нам сообщает каноническая легенда? Рамануджан, младший клерк в мадрасском порту, в 1913 году написал письмо Годфри Харди, кембриджскому профессору. Дескать, он тут в редкие часы досуга занимается математико…

Все обсуждают вчерашний рейс Дубай—Тель-Авив, а в Индии обсуждают касту капитана Смита Маччхара — того самого пилота, который истекая кровью всё-таки успел разблокировать дверь. Учитывая численность выходцев из Южной Азии в ОАЭ, было логично предположить, что эмиратский пилот индиец, но во вчерашней суматохе об этом мало кто написал. В индийской сети моментально появилась теория, разнёсшаяся по правым пабликам: Мачч…

По пути из Японии в США Вивекананда кстати тоже времени не терял — воспользовался тем, что на одном с ним пароходе ехал Джастеджи Тата и решил агитировать титана индийской промышленности насчёт развития образования на родине. Тата слушал, в любом случае, деваться с океанского парохода ему было некуда. Деньгами в тот раз промышленник собеседника не ссудил, хотя Вивекананда может быть и не просил. Но зарубку в памяти …

А ещё история Вивекананды заставляет задуматься о феномене экспертности. Современный мир: о нет, X говорит от лица сообщества Y, но разве мы опросили всех принадлежащих к Y, вот целых десять человек говорит, что X их не представляет, явная апроприация права голоса, ничего о нас без нас. А ещё X говорит о теме Q, но разве ж он имеет право об этом говорить, вот список людей, которые лучше разбираются в средневековой м…

Showing the 12 most recent of 49 posts we hold for @pithhelmet. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
@pithhelmet edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 14 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Telegram’s own answer, not this register’s. When this register asks Telegram’s API what is similar to this channel, this is the list it returns, in the exact order Telegram returns it — never re-sorted by subscribers or by anything else this register measures. The relationship, and the order, are Telegram’s; we record them and date them, and make no claim of our own about which of these channels actually resemble this one.
Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 19 September 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 11 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
