I have spent my political career fighting against identity politics when it came from Labour, Lib Dems, or the SNP, and I will do exactly the same against identity politics when it comes from Reform UK.

The answer to Black Lives Matter is not a White Lives Matter born of the same racial grievance.

To fix this the Conservatives will stand up for the silent majority who want order, fairness, common sense, and one law for everyone.

Claude 5.0 built a Chinese girl a trading bot.

skip to 0:08 look at her journal, bot easily earns your monthly salary in a couple of days.

how it works:

the bot runs mean reversion on s&p 500 and nasdaq on 15-min candles, catching the small overextensions indices make every few hours. on bitcoin it switches to momentum breakouts on the 1-hour crypto trends harder than indices, so you ride the move instead of fading it. gold and oil get a slower trend-following layer on the 4-hour, because commodities move in cleaner waves and you don't want noise from intraday whipsaws.

position sizing is ATR-based per instrument, so a quiet day on gold gets a bigger size than a volatile day on bitcoin - risk stays constant even when volatility doesn't. every trade has a hard 1% stop, no exceptions, no "let me give it room." and there's a correlation filter on top: if s&p and nasdaq are already long, it won't pile into another risk-on asset and double the real exposure.

claude code writes and updates the logic. the bot just executes.

then claude cowork sends her two messages a day:

- 7am: what's happening in the market
- 9pm: how did the bot do

that's the whole job. two messages. five instruments. zero screen time.

manually she could only watch one chart at a time. this thing watches five. doesn't sleep. doesn't tilt. doesn't revenge trade at 2am.

what used to need a team of quants and a $200k bloomberg terminal now runs on a laptop and claude.

And your friend is still trading manually and is constantly in the red.

save this and read the article in the comments below to write your own bot using Claude

Anthropic and OpenAI are both telling engineers to write loops.

Not prompts.
Not agents.
Loops.

That is not a coincidence.

When the two most important AI labs on the planet independently converge on the same pattern — that is a signal worth paying attention to.

Most engineers are still thinking in terms of single calls.

Input → model → output.

The engineers winning in 2026 think in cycles.

Output becomes input. The model evaluates its own work. The loop runs until the result is right.

This is the complete breakdown of what loops are, why they matter, and how to build them ↓

This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.

I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.

Credit where it’s due.

I’ve spent months criticizing these digital bills, the Ministry, and the Minister of Communications because I believed some of the proposals were dangerous and needed to be challenged.

Having gone through the amendments, I can say that many of the concerns Ghanaians raised have been addressed. The truth is, all the noise wasn’t in vain. The tweets, the Spaces, the articles, the stakeholder meetings and the public pressure made a difference.

So thank you to the Ministry and the Minister @samgeorgegh for listening. We won’t agree on everything, but listening to citizens and making changes when concerns are raised is exactly how the process should work.

That’s a win for Ghana. 🇬🇭

🚨 do you understand what Anthropic just published..

They released internal data showing their AI is now accelerating the development of AI itself.

This is the first step toward systems that build their own successors. They're openly warning where this leads. It could end in humans losing control.

- Tasked with speeding up model-training code, their AI went from 3x faster to 52x faster in a single year
- A skilled human needs 4-8 hours to hit 4x on the same task
- When a human researcher took a wrong turn, the AI picked a better next step 64% of the time
- They're now calling for a way to globally pause AI development before it's too late

The company making the AI is telling you it might not be able to control it. Read that again.

“We would not have made the economic progress if we had not intervened in very personal matters. Who your neighbor is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit or where you spit, the language you use. If we had not done that and done that effectively, we would not be here today.”

This man transformed Singapore to a wealthy nation in ONE generation by instilling discipline and micromanaging the personal lives of people. Ghana is the fifth world country it is simply because of disgraceful leadership. There are no leaders in Ghana, only misleaders. And we love them with all our hearts.
