@PrometheanActn PA has some unique takes, but never stray from Trump admin cheerleading. How come? The reported terms of an unenforceable agreement to make a future agreement have no enforcement for either side. There is no art in this deal.

Hardly any of this makes the national news and one wonders if the public mind has any awareness at all.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

The revelations six years later are pouring out so quickly that it is impossible to keep up much less mentally process all this:

* The Director of National Intelligence has documented 120 US-funded/owned biolabs in 30 countries many of which are manufacturing and manipulating infectious diseases.

* Senator Rand Paul's committee has released the receipts concerning US funding/backing of the manufactured SARS-CoV-2 virus/vaccine as part of this program.

* Senator Johnson has produced definitive evidence that US public health agencies knew of the grave dangers of the shot to everyone but said nothing.

* Many officials are privately admitting/proving that the whole point of lockdowns was to preserve population immunity for the shot and block other avenues toward wellness.

* Hardly any of this makes the national news and one wonders if the public mind has any awareness at all.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT.

Spend 10 minutes with this.

Claude engineers earn $500,000 a year to understand how Claude Code actually works.

One of Anthropic's core contributors just shared everything they use internally.

Most developers are running Claude Code at 20% of its potential.

Here is the other 80%.

THE CLAUDE.md FILE IS EVERYTHING
Drop it in your working directory and it loads into every single session automatically.
Your context. Your conventions. Your team's entire knowledge base.
Persistent. Shareable. Checked into your repo.
Most people have never touched it.

THE PLANNING TRICK THAT SAVES HOURS
Never say "fix this bug."
Say "search around, find the cause, give me a plan, don't write any code yet."
Read the plan. Verify the approach. Then let Claude execute.
This single change will double your output this week.

THE KEY NOBODY TALKS ABOUT
Escape.
Press it to stop Claude mid-task and redirect.
Press it TWICE to jump back in conversation history and reset.
The people shipping 10x faster are not smarter.
They just know when to press Enter and when to press Escape.

THE MOVE POWER USERS AT ANTHROPIC ACTUALLY MAKE
They run 4 Claude Code instances simultaneously.
Agents talking to each other through shared markdown files.
Writing state to ticket.md and firing up a second Claude to read it.
Most people are using one tab.

Stop treating Claude Code as an autocomplete tool.

Start treating it as a junior engineer you are actively managing.

Plan together. Review the approach. Watch the work. Redirect when needed.

The gap between where you are and where you could be is not talent.

It is 10 minutes of reading this thread tonight.

Follow @cyrilXBT for the exact Claude Code systems, workflows, and prompts I use to ship faster than teams of 6.

A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.

He died 5 months after recording it.

It was his final gift to the world.

Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.

The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.

And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.

How to speak.

15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:

Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.

Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.

The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.

Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.

Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.

Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.

Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.

Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.

Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.

Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.

End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.

Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.

Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.

The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.

Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.

Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.

Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.

You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.

Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.

He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

Watch it tonight.

🚨 OpenAI just REMOVED the AGI clause that was a structural protection of OpenAI's charitable mission, while jury selection was happening today

The 2019 capped-profit structure had three protections for the charitable mission:

1. 100x profit cap: REMOVED in PBC conversion
2. AGI clause: REMOVED today
3. Microsoft exclusivity: REMOVED today

All three are gone.

This is exactly what Musk's lawsuit alleges: the people running OpenAI systematically dismantled the mission-protection mechanisms. Today they did it again.

The defense theory just got harder.

OpenAI's defense includes: "Microsoft's $13 billion-plus investment was necessary for our mission. Without that capital, OpenAI couldn't have shipped GPT-4 or scaled ChatGPT."

But today, on the morning of trial, OpenAI announced they are decoupling from Microsoft:

• AGI clause REMOVED. The nuclear option that let the non-profit board terminate Microsoft's commercial rights once AGI was achieved. Gone.
• Microsoft IP license now NON-EXCLUSIVE through 2032. OpenAI can license to anyone.
• Cloud exclusivity ENDED. OpenAI can sell across AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle.
• Revenue share capped. Microsoft no longer pays revenue share to OpenAI; OpenAI still pays Microsoft through 2030.

If Microsoft was so necessary, why restructure on the day the case reaches a jury?

Musk's lawyers will use this in court tomorrow.

🚨 Anthropic's own Team just released a free 24-minute prompting workshop.

Taught by the team that built Claude.

40 techniques. No fluff. No paywall.

You've been using Claude at 20% this whole time.

This fixes that.

Bookmark it.

I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂 this video makes my day every time I watch it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re witnessing a 2D projection of a 3D shadow cast by a 4D tesseract.

As it rotates through the W-axis, the "inner" and "outer" cubes swap roles: a spatial inversion that feels like a glitch only because our biology is trapped in 3-space.
It’s a hauntingly beautiful reminder that our "reality" is often just a lower-dimensional cross-section of a much more complex structure. Perspective is everything.

This is used in high-dimensional data visualization, hypercube topologies in parallel computing networks, and exploring the geometry of extra dimensions in theoretical physics.

@NicHulscher Designer Genes to make Machiavelli proud. It all was, and is, designed to boost sales by boosting human afflictions.

[🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 @mrddmia]

This is the most disgusting fraud imaginable.

The SPLC held itself out as a white knight, protecting Black Americans from the Klan.

It was secretly funding the Klan to manufacture more racism, hatred, and violence.

So it could raise more money.

As disgusting as it gets.

If these allegations are true, this organization needs to go away.

Shut it down, then throw the executives in jail.

Thanks for having me, @JackPosobiec.

[Edward Dowd @DowdEdward]

The SPLC is an NGO.

They are the extreme example of creating the problem to raise money from the problem. Fraud basically.

All NGOs have an inherent conflict of interest. They raise money to supposedly solve a problem. Once problem solved the money drys up.

It’s a perverse incentive structure.

This YT suggests that Qumran texts are likely a collection of discarded scrolls from all over the region simply to observe hebrew law regarding care of scroll that contain the holy name of God.
Your thoughts ? Love your YT

@LifeSite @JadensIV I'm not sure LifeSite realizes that Jaden declares Catholicism a false religion, while also criticizing NBA support for lgbt lifestyles. It's super awkward, apparently his mother coaches at Notre Dame.

[AlertFrog @AlertFrog212]

Maybe the Onion can report that the team is sending him to rainbow communities to promote the virtues of Catholicism. Or maybe he just apologizes and says his rant was poorly worded and is in no way associated with the team or the league. My how shocked shocked we can be over a select set of insensitive things nba players might say or do.

[AlertFrog @AlertFrog212]

@briankeepsworth absolutely yes. i suggest dipping a toe into The Gospel As Revealed to Me by Maria Valtorta -- endorsed by Padre Pio, Mother Theresa, Pope Pius 12 and a long list of bishops and clergy.
