Released my DIA-format Gauss-Seidel smoother plugin for OpenFOAM v13. MIT licensed. Will profile for actual improvements over LDU GS. Expected 10-20% speedup and better cache hits based on initial profiling with a DIA GS standalone code (not OpenFOAM)

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

First mango of the season for me. I like mine peeled, not cut - so that I can grab the whole fruit in my hand and eat like an animal. This was a safeda. Next I’ll try the Alphonso (hapus), and UP special Dusshehri when I’m there. 🥭☀️

You must remain your own witness, marking well everything that happens, never shutting your eyes to reality. You must come to grips with these terrible times. Etty Hillesum, 20th century #Photography #SpéirGhorm #SpéirGorm #India #ImageAndVerse #ArtOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin A cowherder with her colourful traditional sari hitched up over her knee stands in a luscious waterlogged field with palm trees in the background. Never once does she take her eyes off the buffalos who have wandered aimlessly into the distance, prepared to retrieve them in due course with the wooden staff in her hand. Etty Hillesum was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of 29, but not before she attained remarkable spiritual maturity. Her astonishingly revealing personal diaries and letters record that, over only about thirty months, her life was completely transformed. These valuable documents were eventually published, almost forty years after her death. In her first diary entry she wrote, "Deep down something like a tightly wound ball of twine binds me relentlessly, and at times I am nothing more or less than a miserable, frightened creature." https://www.psychologytoday.com/ie/blog/spiritual-wisdom-secular-times/201109/spiritual-maturity-the-case-etty-hillesum-1

You must remain
your own witness,
marking well everything
that happens, never shutting
your eyes to reality.
You must come to grips
with these terrible times.

Etty Hillesum, 20th century

I was eating some lovely cactus dish in my dream today, which was very hydrating.
Woke up craving cactus. And the first post on my bsky feed was about a cactus. 🌵

I met this little calf on my last jungle exploration in Madhya Pradesh. It was so full of life, naughty and curious. Some traits transcend species. ❣️

Do you all still do wordle or am I the only odd one?

Oh thanks, Áine! Will check that out. I walked past this here in BLR while reading your reply. I’m guessing they might be a franchise? I’ll try this out :)

As someone who’s grown up eating Lucknowi biryani, I can confidently say that Bengaluru doesn’t know how to make biryani, at all.

Can’t wait to go to Hyderabad or Lucknow for some good biryani soon.

Ram Navmi special drink from Karnataka.
It has raw mango juice, muskmelon, jaggery and some other cooling spices.

Up in North India (especially east UP), we make Puri, Halwa and chana.

This country is a continent.

Work this month- optimising OpenFOAM’s matrix addressing to reduce cache misses by replacing LDU with diagonal scheme. Testing on 2D Poisson equation with Gauss-Seidel solver; new OpenFOAM solver plugin if beneficial.

My latest blog post explores a Multi-Material Thermal Analysis using HYPRE BoomerAMG with a custom POSIT accelerator called Uttunga, and compares it to the x86 IEEE 754 standard.

My new quantum computer is almost working, but every time I get it to solve an equation, it collapses when I try to look at the results.

A tall, leafless tree stands in silhouette against a moody Irish sky, its dark, twisting branches spreading wide like outstretched arms. Pale winter light filters through drifting clouds, with soft greys and blues above and a faint golden glow lingering low on the horizon, as if the sun is taking its leave. Bare hedgerows and distant fields sit quietly beneath the sky, giving the scene a timeless, rural Irish feel—still, brooding, and quietly beautiful, as though the land itself is pausing to listen.

It’s Friday so time for a #scape it was a cold frosty morning here with a dusting of light snow earlier. As the sun rose, the clouds parted. Who doesn’t love trees? 😍😍 #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin #sunrise

Imagine living in an era where words meant something. Where lives were shaped and duties performed because of an oath... Kaliyug's worst characteristic is that words don't mean anything anymore, and no one upholds their dharma.

It is majorly fog, and perhaps a bit of pollution. North India is notorious for fog in winter. If it is early morning or late evening, it is almost definitely fog.

Opened a PR after a long time for a public open-source project. This is in a TUI app that I use called Judo.
Straightforward, no bs, no AI (thank god), fully offline, written in Rust.

Been some time.

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

Have started listening to traditional radio again to avoid the stress and anxiety that comes with social media news.
15 min of morning, afternoon and evening news on national radio (Aakashvaani) keeps me updated and stress-free.

We bow to Her, we bow to Her, we continually bow to Her.”

Gen AI has made me dumber and lazier. I can’t live with myself this way. Cancelling my subscriptions and going back to the old ways of learning.

I need to go back to learning programming languages by reading books and then coding.
I learnt Java that way in 2014, and everything is still imprinted in my brain.
Going to do that for C++. Need to master that before September 2025.
