Tech bros think pharmaceuticals, supplements etc can give you health because there’s a market for that.
While the whole of eastern history is great masters working on that and teaching that it comes from -
Emotional conduct
Physical Posture
Breathwork
Focus and concentration
Hello everyone. Happy Diwali!
Thank you for your criticism, your support and your time over the last two days. Gives me much needed clarity on what we need to explain better:
1. Temple is not made for India. It’s made for the world. Please check pricing. We don’t expect any more than 1% of Temples being sold in India.
2. If you are upset that the pricing is too high, I am sorry. There’s a lot of work that went into Temple, and we priced it at what we think it’s worth. If you think its overpriced, you can wait for user reviews to decide if its worth your money.
3. Please do not support us because we are an Indian startup. We want to compete globally. We don’t need/want nationalist support. Support us if you want to support early innovation, which could help you live a better life, and will continue to add more proof to its science over the years.
4. There are different audiences which buy products at various levels of proof. Proof goes from whitepaper -> pre-print -> peer reviewed. You are free to sit on the fence until peer reviewed proof arrives. You are free to not believe it even then. Nobody is forcing you to buy. Making announcements is our right; and if we overclaim anywhere, we will inevitably fall into regulatory trouble everywhere in the world.
5. We didn’t make any medical claim. Doctors primarily see things from a medical lens, so they see every claim as a medical claim. I repeat – Temple is strictly a fitness + AI device, and we've made no medical claims. Temple is not proven to diagnose or prevent any disease. It doesn't do anything which replaces the need for you to see a doctor.
6. The main point of Temple is NOT Brain Flow. That’s what we just started Temple for, and studies on Brain Flow are the first ones getting out.
7. The main point of Temple is Entropy (I shared the HomeScreen of Temple three months ago with Entropy as the main thing). Our emails to our waitlisted users only talk about Entropy. We haven’t published anything on Entropy yet. We will. If you want to buy Temple before that, please do. If you don’t want to, don’t.
8. Roomdeaf AI is an expansion of the device’s capabilities, and our vision for Temple. It is not a pivot.
9. Social media is not the regulator for Temple. Wherever we need regulatory clearances, we will have them before we make any claim needing them.
10. I will post a detailed note on how we calculate Brain Flow, its uses, and most importantly, its limitations in a bit (tomorrow).

Omarchy is a great fit even for former Apple employees!
After 22 years of working for Apple and always traveling with a Mac laptop, this weekend I brought a Mac but not macOS. My M1 MacBook Pro is running Omarchy Linux.
Everything works! WiFi on the plane, Apple Music, speakers, airdrop. It’s super fast, and it’s AI native, you can literally just prompt what you want. Claude, grok bot, discord, all my go to apps just work.
It’s still got some rough edges but it’s freeing to have full control of your OS. Even if you don’t want to daily drive it any good techy should try it to see what an AI-first OS looks like.

My 2012 Mac Mini was headed for the bin. @Apple dropped it years ago. I put @omarchy on it and it rebooted about 10 times in one night. No panic and no errors, the screen just went black.
AI went through the logs one boot at a time and found the culprit: Broadcom's 15-year-old closed-source Wi-Fi driver, writing past its memory buffers on a brand-new 7.2 kernel.
It blocked the driver and switched to a USB Wi-Fi adapter with an open-source driver. It ran clean overnight and hasn't crashed since.
Now it's a 24/7 home server on @Tailscale. The hardware was never the problem.

We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.

Today’s reminder that running a company is now voice notes and inference
running a company nowadays feels kinda dystopian
my team is 50+ people in 12 countries, but i talk to my agents more than my human teammates
- voice note to grokbot
- mattpocock/skills /grill-me so the agent interrogates the idea before anything gets built
- spec drops into linear through the linear mcp
- exa + firecrawl agent reads every competitor site, pricing page and changelog
- ideabrowser.com to find ideas and trends
- apify pulls g2, reddit and app store reviews
- prompt: "find the 10 complaints that show up most and quote the users"
- context7 so the agent reads the latest docs before it touches any api
the design
- claude code + paper mcp
- 4 versions of every screen before a single line of code
- pick pieces from 2, it merges them. diverge then converge
- frontend-design skill from anthropic/skills + our own design system skill
- cleanshot screenshots of any ui i like go straight in with "make it feel like this"
the build
- pingdotgg/t3code as the control surface for every agent, from my phone too
- stablyai/orca runs a fleet of agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree
- graphify maps the whole codebase into a knowledge graph so agents navigate instead of guess
- headroom compresses tool outputs before they hit the model, so tokens go 20-95% further
- lsp plugins so the agent sees types and errors like an ide does
- security guidance hook flags risky edits before they land
- supabase mcp for the database, stripe for billing
- github mcp opens the pr, vercel spins up a preview
- loops run overnight, i check what shipped over coffee
the user testing
- lightpanda as the headless browser, way lighter than chromium so you can run hundreds at once
- agents click every flow on the preview like a first-time user
- one persona is impatient, one is confused, one is on a phone
- playwright + chrome devtools mcp for regression tests
the bugs
- sentry mcp catches the error
- agent reads the stack trace and opens a fix pr in under 10 minutes
- human just approves
the data
- posthog mcp cron at 7am on yesterday's funnel
- any step that drops more than 10%, the agent watches 20 session replays and tells me why
- stripe mcp pulls every cancellation reason into one doc every monday
the agents' tools
- orgo so every agent gets its own computer
- agentmail so every agent gets its own inbox
- agentphone so i can call them from the car
- composio connect-apps for every other connector
- akitaonrails/ai-memory, a git-backed markdown wiki so they remember what we decided last week
the skills
- wshobson/agents so skills work across claude code, codex and opencode
- my writing voice
- our design system
- how we write specs
- skill creator so the agents write new skills themselves
some helpful tricks
- one agent per platform. the x agent never touches email
- cheap model for triage, opus for anything that ships
- every output gets scored 1-10 by an llm judge. under 8 goes back
- every agent writes a 5-line log at night so i can read the whole company in 2 minutes
- every agent mistake becomes a new skill, so it only happens once
the team
- humans get version 5, not my voice note which they are happy about lol
- their job is creative feedback, relationships and telling the agents what they got wrong
a human pm reviews the funnel once a week. this reviews it every morning
running a company is now voice notes and inference

5 Rules That Transformed How I Read:
- Take a book everywhere
- If you’re not reading with a pen, you’re not really reading
- Forget the news, the best way to understand what’s happening in the world is by reading books…usually old books
- A lot of people read, not enough people re-read
- Never read without taking extracts.
