When BAT removed fuel subsidy in 2023, they have;
- allocated 37.2 billion to build housing units for federal judges in Abuja
- spent 40 billion on Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs for 109 Senators & 360 House of Representatives
- distributed 70 billion as "welcome packages" or support allowances for newly elected members of the 10th National Assembly
- spent 21 billion on new VP’s residence Abuja
- spent 5 billion on Vp’s quarter Lagos
- spent 7 billion to upgrade presidential fleet
- spent 8 billion on presidential residence, Abuja and Lagos
- spent 5 billion on presidential Yacht
Meanwhile, there has been ZERO, ZERO gains of this fuel subsidy removal to the people.
@TosinOlugbenga For him it was an assignment, for others it won’t be
Best to do your homework while dating to understand your partner and their excesses else it will turn into an assignment after marriage !
@i_am_aoejnr@yinkanubi Same format for made up stories, This story has been repeated every at intervals with some changes to it. Picture was gotten from Google… 🤦♂️
The big lesson from AI is that everything is code. A slide deck is code. Design is code. That cool promo video? Code. Excel automation? Code. The universe? Probably made of code too.
switched my Claude API to Kimi yesterday
it’s faster, 10x cheaper, and writes better code.
i don't care if Beijing knows my db schema.
it's not like my startup has users anyway.
I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process.
In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode?
Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture.
We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it.

The Federal govt has cut import duty on car imports from 15% to 5% is what the news said.
If they can grossly misrepresent something we can easily fact check, I wonder what else they are lying about.
Car prices are not coming down because the govt cut import duties.
Here are the facts.
HR instituted a new policy that every department head has to lead a monthly training seminar.
They scheduled me to teach a 2-hour session on email etiquette and phishing awareness to the marketing team.
I hate the marketing team.
They open attachments like they're opening presents on Christmas morning.
I walked into the conference room and immediately turned off all the lights.
I plugged my laptop into the projector and brought up a single slide with a black background and red text.
It just said they are already inside.
I told the 20 marketing employees that the concept of a firewall is a comforting lie we tell the public to prevent mass hysteria.
I explained that every time they click a hyperlink, a silent bidding war occurs on the dark web for their personal data.
A junior copywriter raised her hand and asked how to spot a suspicious email.
I told her that suspicion is a human emotion and malware doesn't care about her feelings.
I said if an email contains a greeting, a sign-off, or a vowel, it's mathematically probable to be a payload delivery system.
I told them about a concept I invented called Quantum Pixel Tracking.
I explained that hackers now embed microscopic malicious code within the white space of a PDF document.
If you look directly at the negative space on your monitor for too long, the biometric sensors in your webcam will download your retinal patterns.
The Director of Marketing physically pushed his chair away from the table.
I informed them that the only secure way to communicate is through unformatted, lowercase text sent via internal SMS.
I spent the final 45 minutes making them practice typing without looking at the screen to avoid retinal capture.
When I turned the lights back on, half of them were visibly sweating.
Since that meeting, internal email volume has dropped by 85%.
They now communicate almost exclusively by walking over to each other's desks and whispering.
My network bandwidth has never been so pristine.
I've reallocated the newly freed server capacity to host a private Minecraft server for me and my nephew.
Fear is the ultimate network optimization tool.
You don't need to upgrade your hardware if you just terrify the people using it.
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.
