Half of America's AI data centers planned for 2026 are delayed or cancelled. They're waiting on transformers. I build chemical plants. Transformer prices have tripled in the last four years. Lead times are 2 to 4 years. Each new plant we build competes with AI data centers for the same grid equipment. Every large power transformer in America runs on grain-oriented electrical steel. It's made by rolling iron and silicon together until their crystals align in one direction. No other alloy works at utility scale and only one US company makes it: Cleveland-Cliffs. The average large power transformer on the grid is 38 years old. Service life is 40. Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft committed $650 billion to AI infrastructure this year. Nvidia's most expensive GPU is useless without a transformer.

Is it humanly possible to read 200 pages in a single day?

On average, young Aussies want 2-2.5 kids. So our birth rate hasn’t collapsed because we stopped wanting kids. It’s that we’ve made housing as the foundation for building a family an impossible luxury. We need our governments to start treating our declining birth rate as a national priority.

99% of Ramp uses ai daily. but we noticed most people were stuck — not because the models weren't good enough, but because the setup was too painful and unintuitive for most. terminal configs, mcp servers, everyone figuring it out alone. so we built Glass. every employee gets a fully configured ai workspace on day one — integrations connected via sso, a marketplace of 350+ reusable skills built by colleagues, persistent memory, scheduled automations. when one person on a team figures out a better workflow, everyone on that team gets it and gets more productive. the companies that make every employee effective with ai will compound advantages their competitors can't match. most are waiting for vendors to solve this. we decided to own it.

Now in research preview: routines in Claude Code. Configure a routine once (a prompt, a repo, and your connectors), and it can run on a schedule, from an API call, or in response to an event. Routines run on our web infrastructure, so you don't have to keep your laptop open.

fuck my laptop freezes midflow and every time i consider throwing it in the river. but this machine has carried me through everything. it earned its rest. if any hardware company wants a real builder's review from someone who actually pushes machines to their limits - i'm here. i'll review it, benchmark it, and give you the honest perspective only someone who's been running local ai on consumer hardware for 7 years can give. or if anyone is giving away a laptop with a decent gpu, i'll trade you my time and expertise. i don't ask for free. i offer value back.

I’m obsessed with people who are obsessed. This is what true product obsession sounds like:

Twitter’s algorithm is optimized for addiction, not for us. We deserve better. We’re releasing Bouncer today so you can take back control of your feed. Describe what you don't want, and Bouncer removes it. It’s free, doesn’t collect your data, and will be open source soon.

Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale. It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days. Now in public beta on the Claude Platform.

it's rly funny how in your early 20s you just kind of assume things will work out for you and fall into place eventually and then you slowly realize they aren't going to
