High blood pressure doesn't start with salt.

It starts with cortisol clamping your vessels, a heart that never gets to idle, and a nervous system with the gas pedal stuck down.

Here are 7 science-backed ways to bring it down at the root:

1. Hum for 60 seconds.

Why are Indian companies not developing frontier models?

The answer is in economics, not talent. The biggest hurdle for an Indian company trying to develop frontier model is that right from the get go, it has to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI free plans + all Chinese open weight models.

Chinese models mostly flourished due to the demand from their domestic market which OpenAI/Anthropic couldn’t meet as they’re unavailable in China. This unmet demand created space for innovation.

China knows this story well, but here in India, we like unfettered, globalized free market, and that requires an upstart to compete with established companies from across the world.

If India is serious about the AI race, it needs to create a massive guaranteed market for domestic AI or else it’ll be economically irrational for any funder to underwrite a product in a highly competitive, already established market.

Got a small surprise in store for everyone:

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working on open sourcing the notes I’ve taken from books over the past few years.

It took some effort to migrate the notes from Google Keep to Notion & then clean up the formatting & typo’s - but I’m mostly done with the entire task.

PS: There is no substitute for reading these books & you might find fairly detailed book summaries online elsewhere - but I’ve tried to condense each book I’ve read into a few (at max 10-12) takeaways which are impactful.

These are the actual notes which I go back to each week - you can access them via the link in the post below

Right now, the library contains ~65 out of ~200 books I’ve read (most of them didn’t make the cut sadly!) But, open to suggestions & feedback.

Will keep updating the list each week so bookmark it & please share it with others

I built a free ChatGPT Plugin that helps you brainstorm domain ideas by automatically checking if they are available inside ChatGPT 💡

Bonus feature: Compare prices across registrars and get the cheapest price for your domain.

Here's how I built it 👇

I only measure my progress each week with these 3 metrics:

How much fun did I have?

How many hard things did I do?

How many people did I help earnestly?

As a founder, I do a million things which makes it hard to assess my progress but this is what has worked really well!

[Steven Tey @steventey]

The developer experience for building a ChatGPT Plugin is sublime.

I went into it expecting to write code logic to tell ChatGPT what to do. I ended up writing mostly natural language and everything *just worked* 🤯

It really takes declarative programming to the next level.
