Replying to @BarackObama
Trump is going after an innocent, duly elected member of Congress and accusing her of fraud, while he himself is one of the biggest fraudsters and con artists in American politics!

THIS IS A PURE F*CKING GOLDMINE Anthropic just shared the sharpest trick for Claude Code The idea: let Opus 5.5 write the plan as a script, and swarm the new Haiku 5.5 in parallel Huge sweeps with zero Opus burn: the script holds the loop and Opus only sees the final diff You just launch Claude Code like this: claude --model opus --effort ultracode here's the split: → Opus 5.5 turns your objective into an executable workflow script → Haiku 5.5 swarms every file in parallel at 340 tok/s to extract candidates → Sonnet 5.5 patches each fix and cross-checks findings in its own isolated copy → you stop burning Opus context on a hundred agent transcripts Opus only shows up at three moments: → authoring the workflow script before the run → reading verified findings after the swarm finishes → signing off before anything ships to git Opus plans · Haiku scans · Sonnet ships JEV engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to JEV in milliseconds, and the big models only see the ones that split the full tree > Opus 5.5 runs the main session and writes workflow.js > pipeline() fans out the new Haiku 5.5 to audit every file > parallel() schema validators drop false positives in V8 > Sonnet 5.5 patches each fix in an isolated worktree > verify cross-checks all diffs before reporting > Opus 5.5 reads only what survived verification > JEV routes micro-forks in milliseconds paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓ "Rebuild my Claude Code setup around this tree: 1. Run the main session on Opus 5.5 with ultracode on 2. In every workflow, run read-only scan stages on the new Haiku 5.5 and edit stages on Sonnet 5.5, each edit in its own isolated copy 3. Add one rule to CLAUDE.md: every finding gets an independent verifier agent before it's reported, and fix loops stop after two rounds with no progress 4. Route fast deterministic forks (tool choice, path selection, retries) through JEV Show me every change as a diff first, no edits until I say go" ↳ code.claude.com/docs/en/work… save it, it'll come in handy

Imagine if Europe, in the days after 9/11, had cleared its throat and announced: We have struck a tremendous deal with Osama bin Laden. We have lifted the sanctions on his organization, so he is now free to trade on the open market and bankroll his war against the United States. Bush must step down. The man has no cards. Has he even looked at his hand? But no. Europe did nothing of the sort. Europe did not sit down with a mass murderer and come home gushing about what a strong and reasonable fellow he turned out to be. Europe laced up its boots, flew to Afghanistan, stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans and hunted that bearded wretch through every godforsaken mountain in the country, because that is what you do when a friend gets hit, and handing the attacker a shopping list while telling the victim to surrender is what you do when you have lost your mind.

Senator Whitehouse says that Trump is doing Russia’s bidding so he made up a top ten list of some of the things that Trump has done just for Russia lately that are at the expense of American Interests.

ZELENSKYY: “I told Trump: If you enable Starlink access inside Russia, we can quickly destroy their ballistic missile launchers. Putin would come to the negotiating table, and I wouldn’t need to destroy a single energy facility. But instead, they shut down Starlink. They didn’t expand coverage — they restricted it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Russians have been doing this for years. And including in 2016. We have ignored a gigantic elephant in the room for too long. Tories because they did not want full Johnson charlatanism exposed. Farage lot because they have been in bed with Russia for yonks. Labour because of the fantasy of “making Brexit work.” Burnham has done a huge service in letting the truth in to disinfect
Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed. This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK. If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it. So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult. Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth. From a speech at the Warsaw Security Forum. (3/3)

I hear politics students, around the globe, now use "a DUP" as shorthand for spectacularly shambolic political strategy. This is worse than the time they held the balance of power in the UK, kyboshed theresa mays soft brexit and backed boris johnson. This chap explains well👇

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

We don’t honestly know the best approaches to rebuilding companies around AI agents, especially in ways that expand competitive advantage & augment existing human capabilities. Practical agents are merely months old. Experimentation (and productive failures) will be required.
