As our nation mourns the sacrifice of the three Ohio Air National Guardsmen we lost in the KC-135 crash, it’s important to honor each of the heroes who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and security. CPT. Curtis Angst, CPT. Seth Koval, and MSgt. Tyler Simmons served with the 121st Air Refueling Wing in Columbus and are remembered by those who knew them as teammates, friends, and mentors.

CPT. Curtis Angst from Wilmington was a graduate from the University of Cincinnati, where he earned a degree in aerospace engineering. He joined the Ohio Air National Guard in 2017 and served our country as a KC-135 pilot.   His family shared that his commitment to serving our nation was matched only by his devotion to his wife, Mary, and his passion for music and the outdoors.   We will never forget CPT. Angst’s heroism and sacrifice. My prayers remain with this family and loved ones.

@BasedDaedalus What is the singularity @grok?

@cgtwts I am obsessed with Claude. I just have not used Claude co-work on desktop, and I don't really know what people are using that for.

Claude just shipped what an engineering team would do in weeks for $20/month. cs grad students and swe’s right now:

@cryptorover How are they generating that 3.5% yield? Usually whenever people start offering yield, that ends badly.

How come I'm only just now figuring out what Wispr Flow is, and why has nobody told me about this before?

SCAM ALERT: Dude calling from 650-503-3261 saying he's from Google, it was real person talking.. They call, then say someone is trying to hack your account via Legacy Request (a way for family members to gain access to your account after you die) They claimed a Death Certificate for me was sent to them and they needed me to reject it. I asked the guy his name and he said "Jacob Sandum" and I looked on Linkedin and the guy's Linkedin Bio says: "Scammers are Impersonating me" Then the guy on the line says to go to a website starting with sites.google.com with more URL after that And it takes you to a Google Login page The guy also sent me this email (Recovery Request) and claimed that he was the one who forwarded this to me. Then after I used Google Gemini to briefly research what was going on Google said it was "OAuth" spoofing or something So I said "I'm impressed you're able to use OAuth and spoof a google site yada yada yada.. Then the dude starts cursing at me telling me how I know nothing about what I'm talking about and that I'm "Bad at my job" for thinking it was an "OAuth Spoof" which I don't know if that's actually a thing I just asked Google Gemini and that was a top thought of what was happening. (Obviously this guy is sharp with computers/security/coding/whatever) And I am not... I didn't fall for it, but it was good, I went ahead and changed my Google Password anyways after that. He def got my info from a data leak. Be weary out there. I agree with @Cernovich anyone running scams should face severe penalties. I bet countless elderly have lost so much. This guy had an American accent btw... not the usual tells.

If you pay for Claude ($20, $100, or $200 per month), there is now an Excel add-in that puts AI directly inside your spreadsheets. Not a gimmick. Not a demo toy. Actual AI, embedded where real work happens. You can install it from the Microsoft Office Add-ins store in about a minute. If you touch Excel for a living, it is worth trying today. Not next week. Today. Here is a simple way to see what it can actually do, using files you already rely on. Step 1 Open a real spreadsheet. Not a blank sheet. Not a sample file. Use something that matters: a budget, a forecast, a model, a tracker, anything with real formulas and logic. Step 2 Have the AI audit it. Do not ask it to change anything yet. Paste this into Claude inside Excel: “Do not change anything in this spreadsheet. Audit what you see and give me a detailed breakdown of: 1.The overall purpose and structure 2.Every formula and how it works 3.The formatting and layout 4.Any errors, inefficiencies, or broken logic 5.How this could be rebuilt better from scratch Be detailed and specific.” This alone is eye-opening. Step 3 Use your judgment. You know the business context. The AI does not. Read the audit and identify the three or four recommendations that would actually move the needle. Ignore the rest. Step 4 Take it to Claude Chat. Paste the audit and say: “Based on these recommendations, write me a detailed prompt I can paste back into Claude in Excel to build a new spreadsheet from scratch. It must be specific enough to execute without follow-up questions. Include structure, formulas, and formatting.” This is where Claude shines. Turning messy insight into a clean execution plan. Step 5 Build. Open a blank spreadsheet. Paste the prompt. Run it. You are not watching an AI talk about Excel. You are watching it build one. The workflow that clicks for me is this: Claude Chat analyzes and designs. Claude in Excel executes. Use this on templates you rely on every week. Budget models, deal trackers, forecasts, commission sheets. Anything that has grown messy over time. If you work in corporate America, finance, ops, accounting, or anything spreadsheet-heavy, this is one of those tools that quietly changes how work gets done. Try it. Then show someone else who lives in Excel. Report back.

Here’s what’s interesting about this chart of Nancy Pelosi's Options Purchases: these are deep in-the-money LEAPS, so the breakevens are already very close to today’s stock prices. Look at the “Required Rise to Breakeven” column. AAPL only needs about +1.45% to clear breakeven. GOOGL is about +0.80%. NVDA is +4.33%. AMZN is +4.13%. That’s not because the options are “cheap.” It’s because the premium you pay is mostly intrinsic value (stock price minus strike), not “hope.” Here’s the simple breakdown: Call breakeven at expiration = Strike + Premium When the strike is way below the stock price, most of the premium is already “real” value (intrinsic). The only part you truly need the stock to earn back is the extrinsic value (time + volatility), which in this table is basically the small number in parentheses: AAPL: about $3.74 NVDA: about $8.27 GOOGL: about $2.74 AMZN: about $9.98 That’s why the breakevens sit so close to spot. Deep ITM LEAPS can act like “stock replacement.” You get stock-like exposure with less upfront cash than buying 100 shares, and your max loss is defined as the premium paid. But it’s not free money: You still paid thousands per contract, and you can lose that premium. You don’t get dividends (matters more for dividend stocks). LEAPS spreads can be wide, and volatility can affect pricing. Still, as a teaching example, this chart is a great reminder: not all call options are lottery tickets. Some are structured to behave more like owning shares, with the main “cost” being that small extrinsic value you’re paying for time. Not financial advice.
