AI research:

Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.

Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world.

But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this.

And it must eat him up.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

They are a charming bunch, I remember Phil Tufnell telling a story about his first tour there, asking an (before neutral) umpire how many balls left in the over. The reply, "count em yourself, you pommie cunt"

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

This sums it up…

Trump says that people have β€œTrump derangement syndrome”…

But reality is that in this country many have β€œStarmer Derangement Syndrome”

Perfectly encapsulated by this.

Starmers principled calm balanced approach is correct, it’s so obvious the left and right hate him for it.

The Mail's hard Brexit effectively told non-European manufacturers that Britain no longer wanted to be their gateway to Europe.

Guess what?
