Reading a biography of a great man. > he needed very little sleep Every time.

The big problem with everything legal I’ve ever done is MS Word and redlines. Legal needs a github - markdown, diffable, mergeable, etc. I’m sure everything changes with AI, but if legal collaboration is still emailing fucking docx files around, I tell you thats not the answer.

do you understand what just happened? Anthropic has sent this email to Claude users starting tomorrow at 12pm PT… you can no longer use your subscription limits for third-party tools like OpenClaw here's what it means: → your flat rate Pro or Max subscription now only covers Claude's own products… Claude Code, Cowork, and claude(.)ai → third-party tools that connect via OAuth will require "extra usage"… a separate pay as you go bill on top of your subscription → this starts April 4 with OpenClaw but applies to all third-party harnesses going forward → to soften the blow… Anthropic is offering a one time credit equal to your monthly subscription price. redeem by April 17 → they're also introducing pre-purchase bundles with up to 30% discount on extra usage → you can still use OpenClaw with your Claude account. this isn't a ban. it's a billing change. API key access is unaffected here's what actually happened behind the scenes… users were running $1,000-$5,000 worth of agentic workloads through a $200/month Max subscription by routing through third-party tools that's like buying an all you can eat buffet pass and feeding your entire office through the door with it Anthropic's systems were getting crushed. the email literally says "these tools put an outsized strain on our systems" so it appears the $200/mo AI max plan arbitrage era is officially over... if you're running OpenClaw or any third-party harness on Claude… → turn on extra usage billing before 12pm PT tomorrow to keep things running → or switch to API keys instead of OAuth → grab that free credit before April 17 this was always coming: the math never worked for Anthropic at flat rate pricing with unlimited third-party access the real question now is what this means for every open source tool built on top of Claude's subscription layer the ecosystem just got a lot more expensive overnight

Usually I try to just ignore this type of stuff and get on with my day, but I recently switched from spotify to apple music for reasons™, and the desktop user interface is so comically poor that I have to make a thread highlighting what I came across in one session, strap in:

🚨 NEW: The price of a British Passport is set to rise by around 8% from the 8th April Adults - £102 Children - £66.50 One-day premium service - £239.50 Overseas adults - £116.50 Overseas children - £75.50

This is the most annoying thing in Claude Code. Hiding raw text when you paste more than 4 lines. Terrible UX decision.

I am a massive Founders pod fan. I say this kindly. This take is bad. Marcus Aurelius was a literal philosopher Socrates Julius Caesar wrote Gallic Wars and Civil war while literally doing war Alexander The Great was personally tutored by Aristotle Abraham Lincoln wrestled deeply with depression and meaning his whole life Benjamin Franklin. Inventory, and had an autobiography that was deeply introspective about self improvement. Andrew Carnegie funded 2500+ libraries. You think he didn’t spend a lot of time reading and thinking about what wealth was for? Charlie Munger…. I could keep going endlessly.
