In a milestone for mountaineering and diplomacy, U.S. Embassy Nepal’s Public Affairs Chief, Mike Harker, successfully summited Mount Everest on May 20, 2026  at 9:10 AM, becoming the first serving American Foreign Service Officer to scale the world’s highest peak. This feat is a proud moment for Freedom 250, the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence, serving as a reminder of the American spirit of drive, grit, and exploration.     Undertaken in his personal capacity, Mike’s expedition is the culmination of a 20-year journey that began during a 2006 trek to Annapurna Base Camp, which first sparked Mike’s lifelong bond with Nepal.     This successful summit attempt underscores nearly eight decades of U.S.-Nepal friendship and highlights how sustainable adventure tourism builds global connections while fueling local economies.     Crucially, this climb spotlights the bravery, world-class expertise, and dedication of Nepal’s Sherpa community. They are the true backbone of Himalayan mountaineering, and this achievement would be impossible without them. Protecting Everest is vital to ensuring this iconic global treasure can continue to support Himalayan communities and inspire adventurers for generations to come.

Anthropic just had a profitable quarter at a $44 billion annual run rate with a fairly enormous compute shortage that's forced them to ration service and pushed some customers (perhaps just in the short term) into the arms of competitors. I don't think it's crazy to think their annual revenue would be $100b or more with sufficient compute for inference.
