OpenAI and Anthropic’s models are so magical and mystical and dangerous, they can do anything! They may even destroy the world! The only thing they can’t do, funny enough, is generate positive cash flow. And that’s where the US Taxpayer comes in!
I need a model of this airplane….
Yamato–JAL to End Domestic Freighter Operations "Kuroneko" by June 2027
Yamato Holdings and Japan Airlines (JAL) have announced that their domestic dedicated freighter operation will end by around June 2027, marking a major shift in Japan’s air cargo strategy.
The freighter program launched in April 2024 as a response to Japan’s logistics “2024 problem” and the growing shortage of truck drivers and road-freight capacity.
However, rising aviation costs have changed the economics. Yamato and JAL say continued yen depreciation and higher aviation fuel prices have pushed air-transport costs higher than initially expected, widening the price gap between air and truck transportation.
Rather than continue operating dedicated freighters, the companies plan to make greater use of cargo capacity aboard passenger flights and other alternative transport modes to maintain a sustainable logistics network.
The decision highlights a broader challenge facing air cargo: dedicated freighter capacity can provide speed and reliability, but sustained fuel and operating-cost pressures can fundamentally alter its economics.
📦✈️ From solving Japan’s truck-driver shortage to adapting to higher aviation costs, the Yamato–JAL experiment offers an important case study in the evolution of multimodal logistics.

I noticed people posting his address yet it gets taken down.
I think the CEO should just compromise on his privavcy; what makes him think his privacy is worth more than mine?
I was making $17 and change an hour in the machine shop at a major cup series organization
Then I was making $350/week as the car chief on the #72 Busch car in 2006

Super saddened to hear that Maple Grove has paused all racing activities. That’s my hometown, and where I grew up until I went to arca cars.

claude scraped the whole internet of content without attribution or compensation for its model but wants credit for its work
Anthropic says new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in all generated text, everywhere Claude is offered.
The watermark is part of the text, it isn't metadata: "it will travel with the text when it's copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing."
This starts with models launched on or after August 2, 2026, under an EU AI Act code Anthropic signed. Anthropic is still working on adding it to current models. The rollout is worldwide.
Very cool to see someone else pick up the mantle and take deployable launch infrastructure back out. Excited to see how it goes. Kodiak is full of surprises.
Introducing GHOST.
We’ve mastered the art of building launch sites. Now we’re making them deployable worldwide.
GHOST = Global Hypersonic & Orbital Spaceport Technology. A containerized, deployable launch site system that enables Electron and HASTE launches anywhere, anytime.
Missile defense. Responsive launch. Sovereign launch capability. Delivered where it's needed most.
Coming soon across two pads in Alaska in 2027.

This is like being a meth head and asking someone who's never done meth how they're going to get through their day without meth
