Today, I’m introducing a new financial metric for software companies to aim for a 75% growth margin.

EBIT: Earnings Before Inference Tokens.

[Ashish Vaid @funnyenough]

@suekhim Math please.

[Ashish Vaid @funnyenough]

@jakewoolf I have one by @carminashoemake in Navy. Incredible! Morjas look good though.

@greggertruck I had them install the HEPA filter upgrade and it fixed the issue.

[Ashish Vaid @funnyenough]

I have been waiting for this…nice!

New in Claude Code: agent view.

One list of all your sessions, available today as a research preview.

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

In Claude Managed Agents, we’ve added multiagent orchestration, an outcomes loop for rubric-driven self-improvement, dreaming for self-learning, & webhooks.

[Claude @claudeai]

Effective today, we are:

1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;

2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and

3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

Today, we took long-overdue action to restore science, accountability, and the rule of law.

In September 2023, the Biden FDA pushed a number of peptides into Category 2 — “Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks” — driving a dangerous black market that puts Americans at risk.

Now, after nominators withdrew 12 peptides, the FDA will remove them from Category 2 and will bring them to PCAC at its next two meetings, beginning in July—where independent experts will rigorously evaluate each substance on its scientific merits using full clinical, pharmacological, and safety evidence.

• BPC-157
• Thymosin beta-4 fragment (LKKTETQ)
• Epitalon
• GHK-Cu (injectable)
• MOTS-c
• DSIP (Emideltide)
• Dihexa Acetate
• Ibutamoren Mesylate
• Melanotan II
• KPV
• Semax (heptapeptide)
• Cathelicidin LL-37

This action begins to restore regulated access and will immediately begin shifting demand away from the black market.

We will follow the science, enforce the law, and deliver the clarity patients, providers, and pharmacies deserve.

As we pay our taxes today a reminder - where do they go?

If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.

Meet Gemma 4: our new family of open models you can run on your own hardware.

Built for advanced reasoning and agentic workflows, we’re releasing them under an Apache 2.0 license. Here’s what’s new 🧵

[Claude @claudeai]

Computer use is now in Claude Code.

Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI.

Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack.

Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords.

LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm.

Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks.

Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages.

Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

The @Dhurandhar2 is a HORROR.

It is a horror for all filmmakers who built their careers and their fortunes on dumbed down, over the top cinema.
The cinema that demanded the brain to be left at home .
The cinema that was rammed down our throats full of LOUDNESS and MASALA which will be now soon on a ventilator struggling for breath

#Dhurandar2 will scare the living hell out of every filmmaker who still worships the godly hero
In #Dhurandhar2 , @RanveerOfficial killed all those heroes who never bleed ,and never feel pain , and then over the dead bodies of those kind of outdated heroes ,he gave birth to a true real hero , flawed, yet dangerous and unpredictable and also his heroism comes from his actions instead of being thrusted upon the heads with ear drum shattering music

Compared to this new kind of hero , the godly heroes will suddenly look ridiculous, almost like clowns in a circus. And then their blind worshippers will feel naked, exposed and scared hearing of the collections

#Dhurandhar2 will terrify those who built their careers on action set pieces where physics is a joke and gravity is non existent . The scenes, where men are thrown fifty feet in the air, bounce off the ground like rubber balls, survive explosions that would vaporise cities, and still deliver punch dialogues while dusting their shoulders will be hunted and killed by the new audience

After the audience saw action that actually hurts, that actually bleeds, the flying goon brigade will suddenly feel cheap, fake, and embarrassingly ridiculous . The filmmakers who still swear by wires and cranes to fake uplift the heroes will now wake up shivering in cold sweat.
It will make the pan india directors tremble in their chairs , the ones who still believe characters are created by hairdos, costumes, photo shopped six packs, and designer clothes instead of intrinsic psychological depth

When the audience of #Dhurandhar2 saw a hero whose power comes from his mind and not his biceps, the hair and costume school of cinema will look like kindergarten dress up.

Dhurandhar 2 is not just a film.

It is a verdict.

With Dhurandhar 2 @AdityaDharFilms cut off the head of that kind of cinema , the one that insulted the intelligence of the audience , the one that replaced stories with bloated gaudy visuals , the one that turned heroes into gods and audiences into sheep

The collections of #Dhurandhar2 are now in the process of burying all those earlier makers beliefs in a grave so deep that even their ghosts can’t come out

And the screams you are hearing now of #Dhurandhar2 box office collections is the collective sound which is announcing their deaths.

If the makers of those kind of films which are already under production , or about to start shooting , don’t go back to their drawing boards and exorcise themselves by watching #Dhurandhar2 multiple times even GOD can’t save their SPIRITS

But the problem is , even if they intend to do that , they might have tonnes of money, but where will they get the brain of @AdityaDharFilms ? 😳😳😳

Today I'm releasing my entire newsletter archive (350+ posts) and all podcast transcripts (300+ episodes) as AI-friendly Markdown files. Plus an MCP server and GitHub repo.

A few months ago I shared my podcast transcripts on a whim, and y'all built the most amazing things—an RPG game, a parenting wisdom site, infographics, a Twitter bot, and 50+ other projects.

Let's see what happens when I give you even more data.

Grab the data here: https://t.co/xEPCcPiZHO.

Paid subscribers get all of the data (some 350 posts and 300 transcripts). Free subscribers get a subset.

I don’t think anyone’s ever done anything like this before, and I’m excited to give you this excuse to play with that AI tool you've been meaning to try.

Here’s my challenge to you: build something, and let me know about it. I’ll pick my favorite and give you a free 1-year subscription to the newsletter. Just post a link to your project in the comments here: https://t.co/yJDmuCQfOx.

If you’ve already built something, slurp in this new data and submit it, too. I’ll pick a winner on April 15th.

Check out today's newsletter post for inspiration on what you could to build: https://t.co/yJDmuCQfOx

LFG.
