Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.

Thank you 🙏

🚨 Bengaluru-based @xTerraRobotics has launched a wheeled quadruped, DHAV-Hy. It is fully indigenous, being designed, engineered and built in India.

It has a max speed of 5 m/s, and a payload capacity 10 kg for all terrains. This wheeled variant has been in R&D for three months, and xTerra is actively piloting DHAV-Hy in industries for inspection.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

The reason we know dinosaurs existed, and were wiped out by an asteroid, is that no matter where you dig in the world, you’ll find a distinct layer of clay. All dinosaur fossils are found below this layer, and never above it! This layer has iridium that is very rare on earth but found in asteroids.

It is called K-T (Short for Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary

This Indian researcher and traveler says he was scammed of ₹72 lakh by an IIT Roorkee professor.

He says he spent years developing a method to extract gold from electronic waste.

Computer boards contain small amounts of gold, but it is rarely recycled in India.

After years of work, he successfully separated gold without burning the waste.

To continue his work, he needed a laboratory.

So he approached a professor from IIT Roorkee.

The professor agreed and allowed him to use the lab on a pay-per-use basis.

Meanwhile, a government scheme approved funding of around ₹72 lakh for the project, but the money was delayed.

So he continued using his own savings, around ₹50 to ₹60 lakh.

As the project started showing results, he says the professor asked to be included in the patent.

He refused.

After this, he dismantled his setup and sold it as scrap.

He also says the ₹72 lakh government funding was taken by the professor.

I watched a guy on the bus today. 6:45 AM in the morning while jogging, His eyes looked heavy, like he was carrying the weight of an entire lineage on his shoulders. But immediately he sat down, he brought out his phone and started scrolling TikTok.
​As a Biomedical Engineer, I wanted to snatch that phone from his hand.
​See, let me tell you the bitter truth nobody wants to hear.

Most of you are not lazy or "unlucky." You are chemically sabotaging your own destiny before you even brush your teeth.
​The first 60 minutes of your day is a war zone. Your brain is begging for direction. It runs on dopamine, that’s the fuel for your motivation. But what do you do?
​You wake up. Your eyes haven't even adjusted to the darkness of your room, and gbam, you pick up your phone.
​You check WhatsApp to see who ignored you. You check X to see who is fighting. You check Instagram to see your mates buying cars you can't afford yet.

​You think you are just "waking up," but scientifically? You are flooding your brain with cheap, unearned dopamine. You are frying your reward system. By 8 AM, your brain is already tired. It has consumed "content" but produced nothing.
​And let me speak to the men for a second.
​I write about men a lot because I see what you go through. The pressure is much. You wake up and the first thought is Rent, School fees, the woman you want to impress.
​It is terrifying.
​So, you grab your phone to escape. The phone is your pacifier. It numbs the panic of the morning. But that comfort is a lie.
​When you start your day with cheap dopamine, actual work feels like torture. You have programmed your neurochemistry to be a consumer, not a king.
​You are training your brain to be weak in a world that eats weak men for breakfast.
​Here is the hard truth (and you can drag me if you like):
Your morning mood doesn’t determine how your day goes. It determines your capacity to suffer for your success.
​If you can’t survive the first hour of the day without a screen, how do you want to survive the economy?
​Protect your first hour.
Don't touch that phone.
Stare at the ceiling. Pray. Do pushups. Go for a morning jug or walk.
Let your brain starve for a bit so it learns to hunt for the hard things.
​Stop feeding your destiny to the algorithm.

In 10,000 years, your country won’t exist. The borders will be dissolved, and your language will be extinct or unrecognizable.

Your digital footprint will be gone, and data will rot faster than stone. Most of what defined us today, money, politics, status and online lives, will vanish without context.

What survives will be fragments: misread, mythologized, guessed at, and wrong.

The uncomfortable truth is this: human certainty is an illusion built on missing data. We don’t know where we truly came from. We don’t know how many civilizations rose, advanced, and quietly reset before us.

As history shows us, it isn’t a straight line of progress, it’s a series of collapses, with survivors writing the story. And we don’t know if we’re evolving… or just approaching another reset.
