Stop telling Claude “do this.”
Stop telling Claude “write code.”
Stop telling Claude “fix this error.”

You’re using an advanced AI like a junior intern.

Here are 9 Claude prompts that make it build, debug, refactor, and optimize like a senior engineer (Save this).

For 50 years Britain hid these transcripts.

They were even withheld from the Nuremberg trials to protect the secrecy of this eavesdropping operation.

Here’s what Nazi generals really said about Auschwitz and the mass murder of Jews when they thought no one was listening:

@CharlesSwanton @cpeedell It’s quite remarkable isn’t it. Just shows what can be achieved by gradually chipping away at what seems like an intractable problem. I hope brain tumours get this type of progress.

@JacquiDeevoy1 It’s pretty depressing to see a journalist unable to do basic fact checking to this degree, or being so untrusting of so many sources. How did we get here?

@glitchdig0 @segm_ebm 👆🏻Good question

[Lance Turtle @LanceTurtle]

@baroness_9 @sappholives83 @Glinner I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. But it’s worth asking why did we ever have single sex spaces? And has any reason to have them truly changed?

@Aella_Girl @Martina What’s the source of these data? How was the sample collected?

@Idiot_Sink @flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk 👆🏻totally this!!

@flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk Tourette’s will tend to find the worst thing you can do in a given situation.

@LRSerling Being in a single sex bay was In the top 3 responses to what matters most to patients in hospital in the NHS CQC in patient survey in 2009.

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational It would be more accurate to capture a variable that cannot change, such as sex at birth (ie sex at a particular point in time) and then have a another variable that captures gender transition later in life. This would make data analyses easier.

[Lance Turtle @LanceTurtle]

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational that would seem to me to be confusing in a health database. It would give a variable where the same value could mean two different things.

[Lance Turtle @LanceTurtle]

@Rojtus1 @Naeluckmate @ScotNational On the point of data collection, you would need to collect information on both natal sex and trans identification to be accurate. Anything else risks trans people disappearing completely and could mean that research doesn’t address their needs.

@marycatedelvey It’s amazing how therapeutic that can be!
