Marines now need 30 months time in service to be eligible for sergeant, reduced from 48 months.

If you haven't completed your Math For Marines MCI, that is 18 fewer months. But the Marines say they have a reason for the reduction.

It brings video intelligence directly into Claude Code so you can work with videos from the terminal, not a separate app.

@oliviscusAI how does it compare to docling?

[Skip Levens @ActiveSkip]

@braelyn_ai I don’t know, you can ask him? I mean, he only runs one of the most famous blogs ever and it was one of the original rat pack Journal crew in the early Apple is back baby days.

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

250 years ago today, the first amphibious landing occurred.

At the outset of 1776, Continental Marines under the command of Captain Samuel Nicholas carried out the first amphibious landing in the history of the newly formed corps of Marines during the Battle of Nassau.

Leading approximately 200 #Marines and @USNavy #Sailors ashore, Nicholas seized key British positions and secured valuable cannons, munitions, and other military supplies.

The operation not only strengthened the Continental war effort but also demonstrated that the young nation possessed both the resolve and the capability to carry the fight for independence beyond its shores.

Did Apple just kill every iOS vibe coding app?

Apple just dropped Xcode 26.3 with agentic coding.

Claude Code + Codex are now built into Xcode.

And with MCP support.
