Some great info in here - I particular like the prompt for generating documents: Asking for three questions I should answer before I deem it ready to use is a great way to check the output. https://t.co/qPl6EAyoWO

Get something into peoples hands that they can use - nothing like a working prototype to get the feedback you need on a product: https://t.co/26s3MWT10N

AI has helped me automate some quite annoying work that otherwise would take hours but the life changing part hasn’t occurred (yet). https://t.co/hr0ag67uNm

Whiskey 101 - before I started at LYQD, I thought all Bourbon had to be made in Kentucky! https://t.co/56Y4ij48ia

From what I observed when I was there, getting a doctors appointment was already hard enough, not sure how they’re going to make this work!

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.

We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.

We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

This is great!

Making my office a genuinely nice place to spend time (rather than just where my desk and laptop are) is so important for me. It doesn’t have to cost much, just some colour and organisation can transform a space!

And from a trip 11 years ago to Kyoto - need to get back there soon!

Summer has been great so far.

Who said LinkedIn doesn’t have its uses? One of Cape Verde’s players was “a part-time amateur who left ­Bohemians for Shamrock ­Rovers, he was contacted on LinkedIn and ignored the first message – it was in a language he doesn’t understand and he assumed it was spam” https://t.co/Ax0OqTUqCd

Always check the outputs, especially the references! https://t.co/bb3mQQqOmo

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

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.

I wish Duolingo’s PMs would stop messing with the app every few weeks - I just want to do my lesson, the endowed progress effect you’ve just added is infuriating, I don’t want to have to sit through the animations, I don’t want to open a prize chest every time….the list goes on!

One way to look at Uber’s spending cap is that they’re showing us the value they put on AI tools: https://t.co/K3vAi9cRp3

https://t.co/V1lmQAuMqz “Coders created or edited almost 300 per cent more files - but that boost was halved to 150 per cent by the time they got to the number of discrete pieces of work submitted for review, and that in turn shrunk fivefold to a roughly 30 per cent uplift in the number of full software releases”

Always fun to to see the evolution of a startup over time - we’re continuing to add new ways to trade whiskey casks at LYQD: https://t.co/UYU3tbLv31

[Ronan McDonnell @ronanmcdonnell]

Interesting look on where work is going as AI is incorporated more and more into many (but definitely not all) areas: https://t.co/2ZMtiEx8gn

[Ronan McDonnell @ronanmcdonnell]

I was surprised at the initial punishment but I couldn’t see it being overturned - and no CAS appeal possible in this case afaik.

A League Arbitration Panel has today dismissed Southampton Football Club’s appeal against the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision in respect of breaches of EFL Regulations.

As a result, the original sanction remains in force. Southampton’s expulsion from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs stands, alongside the four-point deduction to be applied to the Club’s 2026/27 Championship record and the reprimand in respect of all charges. In accordance with EFL Regulations, the decision of the League Arbitration Panel is final.

Following the conclusion of the proceedings, the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final between Hull City and Middlesbrough is confirmed as taking place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 May, kicking off at 3.30pm.
