The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

One of the worst things about this crash is that it was somewhat random and avoidable
Sure it was triggered by Trump’s tariff talk, however that headline did not nuke multi billion dollar altcoins -99%
We had tons of tariff/trade war headlines earlier this year and saw nothing close to what happened yday, even when the nasdaq nuked -26%
Yday wasn't a flush, it was a flash crash... all altcoin perp markets nuked to oblivion, no one using leverage was safe and 0 time to react was given
Even people using leverage responsibly got liq'd (e.g. 2x or 3x) as they didn’t expect their -90% liquidation to get hit in minutes
Reading that $20B+ apparently liquidated, this was crypto’s 1987

ok first off I want to start this Vision Pro review with some background.
I have owned just about every major VR headset since the DK1. I also worked for a few years doing concepts for Magic Leap, and am EXTREMELY bullish on AR as the next era of computing. I see this as completely inevitable and I think in 10-20 years we will all be wearing headsets round the clock.
I also love Apple and have iPhone, iPad, AirPods, etc etc. I’m invested in them too and think they make amazing shit that has truly pushed humanity forward. I also believe as a “cool” tech company they are uniquely positioned to usher in the future of wearable computing.
Unfortunately the Apple Vision Pro is not V1 of that future anymore than the Apple Newton was V1 of the iPhone. It’s a shitty product with zero market fit that solves no actual real world problems and does not move the ball forward on spatial computing in a meaningful way. If you think anything it does is new, please look up videos of the HoloLens from like 2015.
I was super disappointed when I first saw the initial videos of this form factor given the amount of clout Apple has to push us forward. I was really hoping Apple would start to normalize wearing a computer on your face by making a computer you actually want to wear on your face. I wanted an Apple Watch on my face, they gave me a MacBook Pro. hard pass.
tbh, I don’t think there will even be a meaningful version two of THIS product. This is not something that’s gonna be made mass market by their incremental improvements — I.e. making this 20% lighter is not gonna move the needle. This form factor needs a full reboot to become something anyone will wear or regularly use.
I’m shocked to be saying this, but I think Meta is on the right track with their Ray Bans. Start very LIGHT and ADD functionality from there as technology allows. Unfortunately they started out MASSIVE and now have to SUBTRACT technology to make it something actually wearable.
If we keep making headsets that are NOT ACTUALLY WEARABLE — which no AR / VR headset currently really are, it will be continue to be very niche. At the end of the day for AR to succeed it has to be BETTER than what we have now, not just a gimmick. The V1 of iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch succeeded because they were actually BETTER than existing products, not “gadgets”.
Look, I get it, I’m just some chode bitching from the sidelines. And I know we will eventually get there — but I think the path forward is through smaller glasses getting bigger, not bigger glasses getting smaller.
TLDR; this ain’t it. 😥

The first modern flushable toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington. He installed one for his godmother, Queen Elizabeth I. His invention included a water tank and a flush valve. However, the flush toilet wouldn't become popular for another 250 years. Most toilets in Medieval Europe were either holes in the ground, communal outhouses, or chamber pots.
If you were fortunate and born into considerable wealth, you might have used a garderobe (derived from the French word for "wardrobe"). These were small rooms built adjacent to the walls of medieval castles. The toilet was connected to a vertical shaft that extended down to the ground.
Low-ranking soldiers or servants were responsible for taking buckets of water to "flush" waste down the vertical shaft. Garderobes, which literally translates to "guarding one's robes," originated from the practice of hanging clothes in the shaft to kill fleas using the ammonia in urine.
Occasionally, daring knights would attempt sneak attacks by entering the castle through the shaft connected to the garderobe. Throughout history, there have been several famous people who died on the toilet, including King Edmund II of England (30 November 1016), Jaromír Duke of Bohemia (4 November 1035), Godfrey IV Duke of Lower Lorraine (circa 26 or 27 February 1076), Wenceslaus III of Bohemia (4 August 1306), and Uesugi Kenshin (19 April 1578).
