In Gujarat, Diwali holidays typically last for 5 days, extending up to Labh Pancham. However, if a weekend falls around the same time, it often turns into a 7–8 day break. I genuinely believe this should be a practice across India. A week-long Diwali holiday is absolutely necessary, just like the extended Christmas holidays in many other countries.

💸 Update: My total biz expenses have now dropped to just ~$300/mo! This is to run all my websites/apps serving per year: - 20,000 paying customers - 252 million visitors - 2.4 billion requests - 2.4 petabyte (PB) in bandwidth (~$8,000/mo if you add the $7,000/mo GPU bill and $800/mo R2 storage I pay for Photo AI, I exclude it above because it's one project that's so much more expensive in size than all the other sites together, but included in the chart below) Claude Code helped me to find smart ways to save more money, AI is just really really really good at finding cost savings by itself, which is not so great for the economy short-term, but long term it trims all the fat and opens up spending for better investments I think Anyway here's what it saved me in money, almost $34,000/mo: - $29,000/mo - switched to better and cheaper video models on Photo AI, video was very expensive and since I didn't update it ever it stayed expensive, also routed some image jobs to Google Cloud where I have some Google Cloud Credits, and also routed some jobs to Sume which sells AI models at market cost, very cool! This made my GPU bill go from $36,000/mo to $7,000/mo - $3,000/mo - consolidated my servers, cancelled Digital Ocean and Linode and moved everything to Hetzner saving about $3,000/mo - $1100/mo - analyzed my Backblaze B2 server backups, I had infinite versioning and lifecycle policies, that's reduced now to 30 days, this literally pushed the bill from $1,200/mo to $26/mo, about 50x cheaper! I had essentially versions of files for all my servers for over a decade, crazy! - $400/mo - similarly added Lifecycle Policies to my Cloudflare R2 bucket for Photo AI, pics are automatically put in cheaper Infrequent Access after 90 days, there was years of photos in there so this reduced the R2 bill from $1,200/mo to $800/mo - $118/mo - Claude analyzed all my Cloudflare Domain registrations, lots of domains I didn't use and didn't make sense to keep paying for, lots of things that also don't really make sense anymore in a post-AGI world, renewals for .io TLD are now $50/year which adds up fast! - $100/mo - Claude also analyzed my Claude subscription (yes!) and discovered I don't even use the Max 20x plan limits, so I downgraded from $200/mo to $100/mo Even including Photo AI, I have now cut my costs by 90% from last year, getting me close to my biz expenses amount from a decade ago when I started building things Costs slowly creep up over the years and you don't realize all the things you're spending on but AI is nice to help you figure all that out (also in your personal life!)

Before clinical trial You are marketing your product How stupidity

The most normalized open extortion in Indian middle class life: The Sub Registrar office on property registration day. You spend 10 years saving every rupee from your salaried job. You pay 30% TDS on your income. You pay 7% official stamp duty online via net banking. You pay 1% registration fee through a government treasury challan. Every single paisa is accounted for on your bank statement. Then you reach the government registration office with your builder or seller: The deed writer pulls you aside into a dusty corridor: "Sir, ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 cash alag se lagega for the desk. Official receipt nahi milegi." You: "Bhaiya, I already paid ₹4.5 lakhs in official government stamp duty online!" Agent smiles with complete indifference: "Sir, mat do. Phir file 'Property Under Valuation' mark hoke audit me chali jayegi. 6 mahine chakkar kaatna." You stand in an airless hallway, walk to the nearest ATM, withdraw ₹30,000 cash, and slip it inside the file folder just to get your own thumb impression scanned. We aren't a digital, cashless economy. We are a country where honest taxpayers have to withdraw physical cash just to get legal permission to own what they already paid for. Did your property registration happen 100% clean, or did you have to pay the "corridor settlement fee" too?

Healthfrauds, I will skip your AI generated slop response and come straight to the points raised on so-called P32 Wellness nonsense founded by celebrity cricketer, Yuvraj Sigh. Wear your helmets and seat belts. This will feel like an educational crash and thrashing, because you cons deserve it. Your statement - “Dr Philips, we will skip the insults and answer the science.” Oh really? You want to skip what was deserving for you health con and want to address the imaginary? Sure, I can play this game. Lets science. Your statement – “Unlike your argument, Protocol32 is NOT for anyone with cancer, we NEVER claimed it. It is for healthy adults, especially vegetarians who run short on B12, DHA and creatine.” So why is your product not just B12, DHA and creatine? But a mumbo jumbo mix of more than 30 other components? The other responses you made are like farts in a wind tunnel, they are just critiques of the paper I posted, which means you have no clue about the papers I did not post on the same topic. This is a shoddy way to do healthcare business. But then let me address few other really wonderfully ignorant and health illiteracy proving statements of yours below. Your statement – “Liver NIH LiverTox rates bacopa and boswellia E, unlikely to cause liver injury. Curcumin and ashwagandha carry a real but very rare risk. Our booklet says so in print, and members get ALT and GGT tested on day 1 and day 90, for subscribers its paid by us. You say 13 of our ingredients carry toxicity risks. Name them, with the dose at which each harm was found, and we will answer each one in public.” This must be your best-worst proof that you all do “science”. You should have taken the insult, taken the L and stopped doing more harm to your product which was already dead to begin with for “whatever wellness”. The herbs cited carry risks, some risks are larger and known, some smaller – category E (as you mentioned) – unlikely to cause liver injury – BECAUSE THOSE WERE THE ONLY ONES REPORTED AND PUBLISHED THERE IN THE USA (see Bacopa series in India and new ones being reported) – this does not confirm that the botanical is safe on its own, or that it is safe when used together with other botanicals! Herb-induced injury is idiosyncratic (meaning no dose or duration is required and liver toxicity can happen in few hours to few days and even after years of use). You do not even know this basic and is calling me out on “name them, with the dose at which each harm was found, and we will answer each one in public” – man you guys are really dumb and you are selling a health product? GET OUT OF HERE. Child, or whoever non-medical is trying to respond to me on science on Twitter, you should have been aware of the fact that multiple botanicals in the same product increases risk of organ toxicity. Take the example of curcumin and green tea. Damage with curcumin + green tea is far worse for the person than either alone (medscape.com/viewarticle/tur…)... ...and you have more than 8 active herbal/botanical extracts; or 11 if also counting the 2 plant-derived carriers in your product AND is going to be the most dangerous wellness product in the Indian market right now. You have ZERO data to disprove my points. You statement – “Protocol32 is taken every day for years, while most of these trials ran for weeks or months, so we set maintenance amounts, not treatment doses. We do not claim a trial result at a dose the trial did not test. Every one of the 32 ingredients is on the FSSAI permitted list, within its FSSAI limit.” You have ZERO trials ongoing, done or published to showcase the benefits or objectify the actual harm from this product. FSSAI’s limit does not mean it is a safe limit that can be used on people at population scale. FSSAI will give a stamp & seal in any case because it is Yuvraj’s face on the product and only looks at good manufacturing pracitces - their approval is for a clean factory, not what the product can do to people. Dont be so naiive. Do you think the scientific and public community in India are that stupid? You think you can do this and get away with the con? Your statement – “Many brands hide their doses in a proprietary blend. We print every dose, form and specification, and even what the raw material costs us. We did that so any doctor could check our work and question it. We welcome that. A clinical trial of Protocol32 is under way, and we will publish the results, whatever they show. Some of your points are fair. Where we can do better, we will.” So basically, you have no idea about what your product does. Protocol 32 does not have a public Clinical Trials Registry - India (CTRI) registration lookup ID, but your product is already commercially available through paid endorsement and invitation. You want to do better? STOP LYING. There is no clinical trial underway - it had to be a prospective trial and HAS TO BE registered, which right now, seems to be hiding behind the bushes on the internet. Care to show us the proof of registration? You want to really do better? Throw the damn product off your shelves and give that money to help the Government build better roads, provide better facilities in public transports, build bridges that will connect underserved communities to basic healthcare, promote meal programs in school to help children fight protein malnutrition, and help clean our rivers. Idiots.

Introducing DataBull 🎉 I was paying $39/mo for DataFast just to see which posts made me money. That's $468 a year. Forever. And it goes up as your traffic grows. So I built my own. Same idea: revenue by traffic source. $29 lifetime. Unlimited sites. Unlimited events. Lifetime updates. > databull.app

Paying $99/month was getting a little too expensive... So I built my own open source alternative that now costs me LESS THAN $1/month to run. YES, 99x CHEAPER! 🤯 Introducing Open Post, an open source alternative to Post Bridge that lets you post to all your social media accounts from one dashboard. I'll be open sourcing it on GitHub this coming week once I finish testing each social media integration. And just to be clear... This isn't about taking business away from an existing SaaS. I simply wanted to build something cheaper for myself that does the exact same thing. If you want a ready-to-use solution and don't mind paying $40-$100/month, definitely check out the original SaaS! But if you prefer self-hosting and saving money, Open Post is coming soon for free. 🚀

We are spending $600 billion annually on AI infrastructure. The entire industry generates roughly $100 billion in actual revenue. That is a $500 billion gap. Every single year. Sit with that for a second. The money has to come from somewhere. And when you trace where it actually comes from, the picture gets strange. Nvidia invested $100 billion into OpenAI. OpenAI immediately uses that money to buy Nvidia GPUs. That circle is your entire AI economy in one sentence. Here is the full math. OpenAI committed $1.4 trillion on data centers over 8 years. They hit $20 billion in annual revenue by end of 2025. Their own CEO confirmed this. The gap between what they are spending and what they are earning does not work. Yet they kept raising money. And are now planning an IPO. MIT studied 300 public AI initiatives and interviewed 150 executives. Result: 95% of organizations see zero return on their AI investment. Zero. Atlassian surveyed 12,000 knowledge workers and 170 Fortune 1000 executives. Result: 96% of companies have not seen meaningful business value from AI. $600 billion in. $100 billion out. $500 billion disappearing every year into infrastructure, training runs, and GPU orders that feed back into the same circular loop. Goldman Sachs, the Bank of England, and Jamie Dimon are all using the same word now. Correction. Not if. When. Nobody is asking the question that actually matters. Not which model won the benchmark. Not how fast the next one ships. Why are we spending $600 billion annually on something generating $100 billion back. That is not investment. That is a $500 billion bet that the returns show up before the money runs out. I wrote a full breakdown of where this leads by 2040.

🚀 Excited to announce the launch of SonexLabs! We built Pāṇini, a speech AI that speaks 220+ languages. • Cartesia → 40+ languages • ElevenLabs → 74 languages • SonexLabs Panini → 220+ languages* ✅ sonexlabs.com/ I'd love your feedback!
