Who wrote the first chapter of the commanding heights paper? You seriously couldn't write your investment manifesto without portraying an Indian eating curd rice and pickle for lunch? Was that necessary?

Him valuing it at nearly 1.5T is extremely bullish.
Anthropic's IPO was filed on October 26, 2026, and I value it's equity at about $1.475 trillion, which will inform my decision on whether to buy or sell its shares. To make your Anthropic choice, though, you should value it yourself, and I will provide a story and input structure to help you. bit.ly/3UTo3Gj

I'm starting to see that software engineers who don't maintain infra are growing less empathetic and meaner by the day towards those who do. Getting day to day things done by one shotting things gives people the impression that everyone around them is doing the same.

Criticize the comms from opencode or Railway all you want. That's your prerogative. Even there there's something to be said about how seasoned software engineers want security incidents to be communicated. But think before assuming all they're doing is just prompting Claude.

The Larry David biography is a nice read so far. I'm glad he agreed to do it.

If it came out that the Dodgers were throwing the game it might be less embarrassing.

Jailer 2 better than Jailer. Very fun. Second half was not necessary.

Nice design with liquid glass. Everything should be a gray box. Why bother with usability.

OAI pay can't be that bad c'mon
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work. At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated. We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

As a casual MLB watcher the Brewers deserve to go deep simply due to the fact that they have a really good looking stadium.
