Also Claude, 🔥

I have two free hours on a train, so I'm using it to learn about SAP ABAP via Claude. I must have been bad in a previous life but I'm quite enjoying the crazy mix of COBOL, SQL and Pascal syntax and random German v English words

The tl;dr of this article is that Peter Theil is fucking weird. But also we should take it seriously - he has an driving philosophy and is in a position to make it happen

The antichrist is the rationale for creating the ultimate surveillance state, rooted in elite superiority

I’m with mopbucket. There’ll be a lot of forced mergers and consolidation of production, but China will still end up dominating EV production

"Make Argentina Gold Again" - this post only sets out co-incidence (by it's own admission) and I'm not totally sold, but it is quite the set of links between Trumpworld, Tether and Milei

Even if this is 2+2=5, it's a good reminder that Tether is both sketchy af and deeply linked to Trumpworld

It’s because of the links coming out between the Tony Blair Institute (which is very embedded in our government due to New Labour ministers and advisors coming back) and Oracle

The logic is irresistible - med beds must exist because otherwise q breaks down. Lit crit as the new essential life skill and AI generated slop for ever

How not to illustrate the similarity of bone structures between humans & horses.

Also bonus marks for the uncanny valley AI presenter part, with zero lipsync or movement in the face above the lip.

"Some children want to grow up to be astronauts. Some want to grow up to be in Procurement"

Err. No.

I'm at an ERP event for a big German ERP provider and their UK partners. ERP is not exciting, but the keynote went big on "hyper", "lightspeed", "10x automation" and that we should "calculate our hyperdrive jump". The presenter was wearing an astronaut suite. Argh!

It’s different this time! You’ll see!

The money is going round and round a little too obviously this time

Some really, really good news on solar.

Solar and batteries are getting very cheap indeed, and can be built at massive scale.

For sure

Because they are eyes on the prize focused on power. The hard left, not so much

This is real and I need to have a lie down

We all need to be having these conversations.

I’m as centrist dad as it gets. Big fan of both sides-ism. I’m not voting for this bunch again until they have a complete change of leadership and a backbone implant

I didn't know that astronomers already use this to allocate time on telescopes

In a grim week, this really did make me laugh.

This is a nice and brief summary of the problems Oracle has coming. They've booked revenue (or at least said it's coming) without the associated costs
