Everyone knows Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos right?
She was celebrated when she dared to do something new. She faced vitriol when facts came out, and rightfully so.
Deepinder is facing vitriol right at the pitch of @temple
I am not arguing anything here. It is what it is. Indian builders will have to be facing vitriol right from the start, should be considered a normal.
All Indian builders must know this. It’s just a rite of passage, not a big deal. Keep building 🤘
had a quick check on how apple watch, whoop, oura, fitbit and ultrahuman started, to see where @temple actually sits 👀
what the record shows:
- all five sold before any outside study existed. apple and oura got their first one about a year after launch, whoop after ~5 years, fitbit after ~6. i couldn't find one for ultrahuman yet
- all five made early claims ahead of the evidence. oura said its ring "predicts covid 3 days early".
- whoop got an fda warning letter in 2025 for selling its blood pressure feature without fda clearance
- apple went to the fda before each medical feature. temple's "blood flow to the brain" claim hasn't gone through that yet.
- temple has pre-orders open and no outside study yet. its science lead accepted most of the doctors' points within days. the site wording hasn't changed yet
selling before outside proof is normal. getting called out for claims ahead of proof is normal too.
the rest is noise. table below, decide for yourself.
still rooting for @deepigoyal, @agingroy and the team at @temple. it might be hard to find signal in all the noise around you right now, but i hope you find some good feedback in it and keep improving.

Making games is more than coding, art, and design! 🎮
There is marketing, networking and distribution!
Every rock concert needs a roadie. Indie games do too. 🤘

A very #HappyDussehra2026 everyone 🙏
In this #devlog part 3 of the series, I explore all the techniques I have used to build a custom renderer for this digital jhanki of Sunarhai Mata ji of #Jabalpur ❤️
A hand-crafted artwork brought to life using #OpenGL, and #GLSL shaders. Built using #CProgramming and published on Web using #WebAssembly (Wasm) and #Emscripten. 💻

In this #devlog 2 about Sunarhai mataji in #hindi, I talk about how I did the coloring 🎨 of the Durga murti artwork to take the digital jhanki project forward, what challenges I faced, and what techniques I used.
Through the earlier video I got to learn a lot about #Sunarhai mata. Sunarhai tradition 🕉️ is a series of multiple idols (around 7-8) kept at many locations in the city of Jabalpur, it has 150-175 years cultural continuity, around 10-15 kg of Gold jewelries are put on the idol by the "Sarafa bazaar" people (Gold Jewelers market ), and there is even a "Nunhai" idol kept, where jewelry is based on silver instead of Gold. This is amazing stuff and blows my mind!
I have reached the stage where now tons of technical aspects need to be looked into and OpenGL programming has to be done. 🛠️

Heavy power cuts going on since 2 weeks. Is this all over Bengaluru or specific to my area near ITPL?

Timelapse of the entire drawing session and process of Sunarhai - Part 2.
I never kept track of the total duration of this, the decimated videos (still frames trimmed) was around 9 hours (i.e. actual will be much longer), sped up approximately by 5 times.
Sunarhai tradition is a series of multiple idols (around 7-8) kept at many locations in the city of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. it has 150-175 years cultural continuity, around 10-15 kg of Gold jewelries are put on the idol by the "Sarafa bazaar" people (Gold Jewelers market), and there is even a "Nunhai" idol kept, where jewelry is based on silver instead of Gold.

I don’t pay for YouTube premium because I use its ads as a deterrence to waste time on YouTube. The annoyance works and makes me put it down.
Life has a lot of things to offer than watching UGC. And even if one likes to spend time watching things, I prefer watching something created by a professional (sure, which could be on YouTube too).
And even if I am watching; I avoid bingeing shows. I noticed if you binge shows, you don’t capture or process a lot for things, it becomes a blur. Watching an episode (or 2), then giving it a day (or a week) allows one to process and really let it cement its effect on you, and makes for a higher enjoyable experience for the next episode.
But that’s besides the point, YouTube ads has some serious dark patterns. One is that the screen loves to dance around a lot, changing aspect ratios, if you dare make it pip, or pause it.
Then the location of skip ads keeps changing not allowing you to learn a muscle memory. It has a delay too in activating its callback too, again to not let you predict the timing.
Pause or pip functions, when an ad is being shown, have a hidden delay, it won’t let you do so immediately and it acts a bit stubborn. Pretty sure this delay is randomised, at times it feels the touch screen has gone faulty.
What is so bad about abiding by your own app’s UX rules to minimise my ad watching? I am not going anywhere, I have to watch what you will show. Why do shady optimisations?
Regardless it helps, as I watch YouTube generally less because of all this.
When someone says “I bought YouTube premium” as some kind of flex, I instead see them as helpless fish.
I don’t know what all this means for future of technology. While the outer UX is getting super user friendly, the core function is getting hostile.
Then there the whole political drama being weaponised to make us glued on screen is another deeper discussion at the core.

This cow knows vector mathematics and used it calculate resultant force.
What’s your excuse to not learn maths and physics?

I cannot begin to tell you how extremely versatile, flexible and convenient a removable battery scooter becomes over one with fixed batteries, whether you live in an apartment, PG, villa, hotel, whatever.
I don’t care about “range anxiety” because I face none of it. I can charge my EV anywhere. By anywhere I don’t mean “any plug point near a parking area”, I mean literally “any plug point”.
Companies however are going in the direction of the charging ecosystem infra business money, clearly at the cost of convenience for the customer. You don’t get charging spots easily. And it’s not that straightforward (nor cheap) to setup a charging spot in your societies parking area.
Would really like Indian Govt to prefer larger subsidy to removable battery scooters to incentivise adoption.

Africa is HUGE with the more true to ground Eckert IV projection. India looks pretty big too!
Reminds me of this research project I did where earth (with its terrain) was created with hierarchical triangular mesh, which helped it go really dense. Was a Siggraph sketch.
Mercator has the comfort of easy mathematics with polar coordinate and spherical mapping, but the poles cause singularity. That way, it is lazy.
Eckert IV is of course a superior methodology.

I installed Omarchy.
Some of the things it is doing well; like no ui where none is needed and I love that.
Updating config of monitor? Here’s a text editor with config file opened, the comments are self explanatory. Go for it, change stuff, save the file, done. No bs, perfect.
Uninstalling a package? Search box, filter your package, enter to remove, done. Beauty!
But then … some other things? It is an “opinion”.
Why remove useful things like traffic light buttons? Why leave that sliver around the window? Why is the ui so sparsely spaced out? Why remove resizing windows?
Are you saving ram? it is a fully loaded desktop environment, so no. Are you saving screen real estate? No, with those sparsely spaced ui choices. So what are these design choices? Because, “opinion”.
I know it claims to be “opinionated” but I didn’t imagine that it would be the most important part of the distro.
Reminds me of Steve Jobs, “why don’t your tablet come with stylus?”, because “opinion”.
Linux distros need to go to a place where it “gets out of the way” for a developer and normie alike. Windows (as trash as it is) does that part well. And so does Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and SteamOS. But Omarchy? Nope.
Overall Omarchy has some really great ideas and would love if a serious distro can copy those.
