Sometime the limiting factor feels like location. But it might just be skill issue or maybe lack of iron balls

I will do it one way or another

Why is TikTok so brutal. Can’t seem to get into the US market

Oh my seeing auto translate on post now. Have to say best feature

Seeing a lot more Japanese content on my feed. Seems someone is pushing for it

Spot on with the Singapore-Dubai parallel - but the stakes are even more explosive than most realize. If the PRC launches its long-planned invasion of Taiwan, it will need to make sure the United States stays out of it. That means it must first neutralize America’s nearest major forward-deployed force which is the US 7th Fleet based in Yokosuka, Japan. We’re talking 60-70 warships, 150-180 aircraft, and over 27,000 personnel. To keep that fleet out of the fight, Beijing would have no choice but to strike Japanese soil and bases preemptively - dragging sovereign Japan directly into the war. Japanese PM Takaichi enraged the Chinese for merely saying that this constitutes a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan and implying that Japan might be drawn into the conflict. The 7th fleet relies on logistics and sustainment from Task Force 73 / Logistics Group Western Pacific which is headquartered in the Republic of Singapore. Singapore’s role as the critical maintenance, resupply, and repair hub for US naval forces in the region makes it Target #2. Just like Iran hit UAE facilities for hosting American support, the PLA would have to take out Singapore’s ports, airfields, and logistics nodes to choke off the flow of fuel, ammo, and spares. In other words, there's a huge potential for a regional cataclysm: direct attacks on Japan and Singapore, the Malacca Strait turned into a war zone, global shipping paralyzed, and the entire US-led alliance structure under fire. The idea that China is pursuing “peaceful development” is hard to believe when you consider its military buildup - hypersonic missiles, carrier-killers, anti-access/area-denial systems - that seem to prepare them to deal with exactly this problem of a regional fight for control and navigation of the seas. Not many people are aware that there are 3,000 active Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) troops on rotational deployments throughout each year in Taiwan. While this is for military training (it's been ongoing since 1975), this could further complicate things for Singapore in a Taiwan conflict scenario. These troops might be trapped or become bargaining chips during a blockade or invasion. Anyway, tl;dr: Singapore likely won't be able to stay out of it as the chokepoint it sits in will probably come into play

We trained a new flood forecasting model designed to predict flash floods in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance. To help address a flash floods data gap, we created Groundsource: a new AI methodology using Gemini to identify 2.6M+ historical events across 150+ countries. We’re open-sourcing this dataset to advance global research, and urban flash flood forecasts are live now in Flood Hub to help communities stay safe.

motherf*cker keeps taking shortcuts

what's the point of plan mode in CC if it doesn't even follow the plan???

constantly need to tell open claw to be token efficient if not that shit is gonna run wild

feels like claude needs babysitting nowadays

Note to self: 1. Work on smaller screens as larger screens are more forgiving 2. Need to add IAP and subs in the submission page on ASC 3. iPad Air 11 inch is minimum requirement for compatibility testing 4. Add register call for PostHog for each app 5. Delete your cache. Setup a periodic cleanup

token hungry bitch

I actually also think it’s the local top for SG but not as hopeless as everyone is. - 6 decades ago sinkies were basically labourers - 5 decades ago sinkies were trained to read and write English - 4 decades ago sinkies were trained for Petrochemicals and manufacturing - 3 decades ago it was engineering and stem - 2 decades ago it was banking and financial services - only recently as early as a decade ago we pivoted to software cloud and cybersecurity. Think people underestimate the ability of Singapore to pivot when in times of distress. Also our UBI system is basically set up (GST voucher payouts + singpass), our tax haven system is pretty robust. With the instability in the Middle East we’ll be expecting more to move here. Finance is 15% of gdp, manufacturing is ~20-25%. Semiconductor chip design contributes as much to gdp as Tourism (~4%). We’re securing data centres via JB-SG special economic zone. Probably already moving into nuclear SMRs. Gov has shown ability to think longer term and Sinkies have shown ability to adapt pretty quickly. The onus is on other nations to prove that they can outperform Singapore imo.

@bcherny @trq212 OK, so this is INSANE. 1189 calls to Claude. 100% nerfed down to Sonnet 4.5 in the last 30 days despite Claude Max. I'm so happy I have LangSmith for observability. There could be a bug on how this is reported. But right now, this is really bad... cc: @hwchase17 @Vtrivedy10

It’s happening again. Claude being dumbed down

@AliGrids @grok put these into bullet points
