@bryan_johnson just wanted to throw it randomly: how about all the WIFI/Bluetooth waves etc

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region – for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit. Targets were also struck in the Rostov region and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is a fully justified response to Russian attacks on our cities and communities, and another important result of our warriors’ work against facilities that sustain Russia’s war machine. I thank our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their coordinated efforts – the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, Defense Intelligence, and our missile brigade for their precision.

In recent days, all of our partners have noted the precision and effectiveness of our mid-range strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time the war ended, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.

@theohandsh I’m looking into having multi-agent setup (CLAUDE.md, codex path, skills…) and not be dependent on one vendor.

They lobotomized Claude in Claude Code. Worst I've ever seen. Completely ignoring instructions on a fresh context window using Opus 4.8 xHigh. Every time I've called this out in the past they respond saying NUH UH and then publish some bs 2 weeks later saying oops teehee.

There is a new trend of marketing people becoming all sort of professionals on paper thanks to AI

Mistral AI is preparing to establish a presence in Kyiv to work with Ukraine’s defense technology ecosystem.

A strategy reminiscent of Palantir’s approach, which could give the French startup unique access to battlefield data from the war in Ukraine.

Opus 4.8 has become a Sonnet today :(

@flowidealism Why writing?

For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews.

This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system.

LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it.

If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.

@Porkchop_EXP May be has to do with the “high threshold” of 150k per 2 people for getting the “1 year paid” leave?!

Thrilled to announce the Monitor tool which lets Claude create background scripts that wake the agent up when needed.

Big token saver and great way to move away from polling in the agent loop

Claude can now:
* Follow logs for errors
* Poll PRs via script
* and more!

@shiri_shh I guess it’s just about tech and business (business means customer as well).

Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made (if you know what you want to build).

Germany’s unemployment rate is quietly becoming a disaster. And almost nobody is talking about it.

@vrexec Same here, the full retirement was never the goal — you realize that once you retire

[Claude @claudeai]

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks.

It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk.
