Anthropic has been quietly rolling out a big change.
Businesses can no longer buy Claude subscriptions. API access only.
Enterprise got the call first. Here's what it means for your team 🧵

Why now? The math stopped working.
One dev tracked 10 billion tokens across 8 months on a $100/month Max plan. That's $15,000 in API-equivalent value for $800 paid.
Anthropic absorbed those losses to grow Claude Code. With an IPO reportedly on the way, the subsidy was never going to last.

What happens next is already happening.
Engineers expensing personal Claude subscriptions on company cards. Managers buying five at a time. Entire orgs handing out cards so every dev can expense their own.
No SSO. No audit trail. When the CISO asks, there's no good answer.

Just submitted a response to the NASA RFI on Lunar Power. It was a lot of fun doing the hardware analysis.
I think that beaming power from ground stations to the Moon is a great way to get shots on goal quickly, to provide power to survive the night, and to support assets anywhere on the side of the Moon that's easy to see!
Thread with some key figures below.

These two figures show where, on the Lunar south pole, you endure periods of Earth and solar blackout respectively.
In general, everywhere on the moon experiences a 350 hour freezing night. But near the poles, there are a few mountains where the sun almost always shines. During the Lunar winter, though, these areas always endure at least five days of shade, due in part to mutual shading. So pure solar + batteries is tough because very large batteries are needed.
OTOH, about 40% of the Moon can always see the Earth and another 20% can see it sometimes, in the Terminator region where Earth rises and sets over a four week period. Very beautiful looking! And in the boundary between these areas, there are a few islands where the Earth, or at least the parts of the Earth with power transmission arrays, never set.
The closest to the pole, on either pole, is Malapert Massif, but there are a few other areas nearby which are also interesting.

There are some interesting trades between array design and power spot shape on the Moon. But probably the best way to do it is with a small, high power water cooled transmission array on Earth feeding a much broader spot on the Moon, which will support power over about 10 km. Anywhere you need power, just hang out a flexible rectenna array of the appropriate size, point it at the Earth, and you're good to go!
While everyone is celebrating the rally someone just dropped $11M on $SPY puts.
Here's what I'm seeing. 🧵
Here's what I'm seeing. 🧵
$SPY just rallied 13% in 13 days off the lows.
Last year after a similar explosive move the market went sideways and slightly red before continuing higher.

@AionAnalytics probabilistic outlook confirms it.
Crash detection 0.0%. Models 4/5 bull. Stress at 0.
But breadth is only 32%.
That's what's keeping the near term choppy.
Cone is flat before expanding higher.

Here are some thoughts on why any JCPOA-type agreement between USA and Iran is very unlikely- even if the traitorous "liberals" in Iran mange to sign it. (1/n)
Firstly, even though the current elected government in Iran is filled with these "liberal" traitors, they have lost most of their previous public support in that country. (2/n)
The two wars within past year have been the capping events for a long trend of these "liberals" being unable to deliver on their promises of neoliberal prosperity and normalization of relations with West. (3/n)
Former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: Most NATO allies supported US operations in Iran with bases and logistics.
This wasn’t a NATO mission — there were no consultations or formal decisions within the alliance.

We are safer together than apart — unity is what protects us.

But allies can act individually — and it’s positive that European countries are now stepping up to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Y11 deal for @Cardiffrugby unravels. Rugby costs paid for yes, but £3m upfront, £2m to increase capacity at a ground owned by Cardiff Athletic Club, £6m debt servicing, and a £1m annual licence fee . And yes, if WRU ambitious commercial....
projections were realised a half share of future profits to the union next door. Rhino, Martyn Ryan and Hollywood directors were far more circumspect and guess if the WRU’s projections had proven to be right would have offered to pay that ‘upfront price tag’ retrospectively...
(smart move). Y11, or should we say majority owner Navis Capital (who no doubt had some doubts from the start as ‘show us a rugby investment that has made money for investors’), have been trying to row back on the initial offer - as is often the case - in the exclusivity period.
Looks like @KodanshaManga @KODANSHA_JP is fully UN (and WEF) integrated.
Approval by the board? LOADS of DEI language and ESG.
Manga was already endlessly "diverse". you do not need to "adhere to ESG" to tell "diverse" stories....any involvement or partnership with a government body means evil is afoot.

the locations are interesting, but have been around for a while. The european one for example has been around longer than the push for dei/ESG as a criteria for investment/running business
Texting Patterns That Change the Tone of Attraction
Not soft.
Not performative.
Not “good morning :) every day at 8:03.”
If you’re going to flirt over text, treat it like communication with weight, not decoration.

1. Challenge the “role” she’s performing

“You’re acting way too composed for someone I’m not buying as that innocent.”
This isn’t an accusation.
It’s a disruption of a persona.
Most people text from a self-image they’re maintaining. When you lightly question it, two things happen:
• she either reinforces it (and tries harder)
• or she drops it for a moment
Both outcomes move the interaction from autopilot to awareness.
Attraction doesn’t start with agreement.
It starts when identity is slightly unsettled in a playful, non-hostile way.
You’re not trying to expose her.
You’re breaking script.

2. Replace statements with mental imagery
“I want you” is flat. It ends the exchange instead of opening it.
Compare:
“If you were here, you’d probably stop acting like you have everything under control.”
Now the message isn’t information, it’s a scenario.
The mind doesn’t engage deeply with declarations.
It engages with simulation.
When you build a scene, she participates in it internally without needing permission.
That’s where emotional engagement starts to feel physical, even through text.

Phase 1: Pre-Production & Narrative
If you’re a fan of anime or Isekai, this series is for you. I spoke with 2 of the 5 directors for an hour and they said this project took the momentum from their previous work, Higgsfield Arena Zero and evolved it into a more complex narrative with higher stakes.

The Scripting and Treatment Phase
Before any generation began, the team spent about a time iterating on the script and developing a comprehensive director’s treatment.
Even though AI allows for "imaginary freedom" to change things on the fly, they started with a solid compound script that was split between four directors. This let them hit this crazy deadline by breaking the project into sections that each director handled individually.split among

1/ Russian soldiers are being sent to their deaths by the military police for infractions as trivial as not wearing a seatbelt. Many avoid doing so in order to jump out quickly if their vehicle is attacked by a drone, but they are finding that they face death either way. ⬇️
2/ The Military Police (VPs) are the target of widespread hatred from ordinary Russian soldiers for their corruption and zealous enforcement of arbitrary rules. They are also helping to meet the army replenish depleted assault units by sending arrested individuals to them.
3/ Russian warblogger Alexander Zhuchkovsky writes:
"In colloquial speech among soldiers, enemies are often referred to as "faggots" or "roosters." This is a simpler and more common derogatory term among soldiers than "khokhols."

In 2013, Kelly McGonigal gave a TED talk that changed everything about stress.
17M+ views for a reason.
Her findings:
• Believing stress is bad kills 20K yearly
• Stress response has built-in healing
• Caring creates resilience
8 lessons that change everything: 🧵

8 lessons that change everything: 🧵
1. Believing stress is harmful may be deadlier than stress itself
Study: 30,000 adults, 8 years.
High stress + harmful belief = 43% higher death risk.
High stress + positive belief = lowest death risk.
182,000 died from the belief, not the stress.

2. Reframing your stress response changes your biology in real-time
Harvard: participants told "pounding heart = preparation for action."
Result: vessels stayed relaxed instead of constricting.
Same stress. Different belief. Completely different biology.
