Update on my content.

On January 12th, I will be starting up my program of regular content on here & on Substack.
Here, everything will be free. I will be doing some Spaces here still, but only on fun topics, including the JFK ones with @KingMakerFT. I'll still be doing threads and some analysis here, along with my other usual sparkling content.
I will also be announcing here anything significant I post on Substack, including the legal & political podcasts, which are replacing the Spaces.

On Substack, the podcasts will still be free. And some posts there will be free as well.

Two major changes in Zelenskyy’s Cabinet! Kyrylo Budanov becomes Head of Zelenskyy’s Administration, replacing Yermak.

Mykhailo Fedorov—the youngest genius minister behind Ukraine’s digital transformation—becomes defense minister. A young, results-oriented team gets a boost.

That will bring a major change on the front line and within domestic politics. The news can't be better.

Zelenskyy once again demonstrates his ability to come up with unexpected brilliant decisions that propel Ukraine forward out of the most difficult spot.

🧵 THREAD: Why Outsourcing + Foreign Aid = Real Pain for the American Middle Class 🇺🇸👇
🇺🇸 Many young Americans are rightly mad — but too often their frustration gets aimed at the wrong targets. Let’s talk about policies that cost U.S. jobs & funnel money overseas when Americans are struggling. 💼💰
🇺🇸 Before 1994, U.S. bilateral trade deals with our allies:
✅ Protected American jobs
✅ Kept the middle class strong — the global engine
✅ Supported national security & postwar peace (WWI/WWII, Marshall Plan)

Middle class prosperity wasn’t an accident 🏛️💼

_One way to increase Area spectral efficiency is lowering constellation altitude.

That way comes at two costs: The number of 🛰️satellites required on orbit increases and their orbital dwell ⏳time decreases both affecting the replenish rate 🛠️adversely as:

🛠️ = 🛰️/⏳

🧶🐈‍⬛

Let’s do a SpaceMob thing and look at this from first principles.

A satellite has a field of view. FoV.

That Field of View projects a footprint on earth.

The footprint increases with angle of the field of view and increases with altitude.

2/ Image
Image
Within this field of view the satellite creates beams.

They also have an angle called beamwidth and a footprint called beamcell.

There are many of these beams and beamcells within the satellite footprint.

Turn 36 today & I’ve spent my entire thirties with #LongCovid. When I turned 30 I was biking to work 10 miles a day, & since my mild covid infection — I struggle to walk more than a block or work more than a few hours a week.

Here’s 4 things I wish everyone knew:
1. The risk of this happening today is the same as in 2020. A new @NIH study shows risk of developing #LongCovid has not declined over time. We see new ppl every month in support groups from reinfections.

People do not understand this, & public health needs to communicate it.
2. #LongCovid is now the most common chronic condition in children. A recent NIH study shows the prevalence of LC has surpassed asthma in US kids.

This is nowhere in public discussion in the midst of record breaking chronic absenteeism — public health needs to communicate this.

🎯 Mamdani's "warmth of collectivism" line, naive or ominous or both, is becoming a teachable moment. It would be nice if people would learn about the bitter realities of socialism this way instead of the hard way of living through it.
As I explained back when it was Bernie Sanders saying similar things & was defended in similar ways, it's not a matter of rhetoric or intentions. Obv they aren't Mao, it's not the USSR, etc. It's what people in power with a collectivist mindset do when things don't go well.
If the economy does poorly, do they admit error and ease off, try other methods, etc? Or do they invent scapegoats and insist that the system will work if they have more (and more) authority to enforce compliance? We know the answer from history.

Most new PMs screw up A/B testing.

I did too: ran 17 tests in 6 months, learned nothing.

“Just ship 2 versions and see” is not real testing.

Learn in 4 mins how to run a successful A/B test without wasting 6 months like I did: Image
1/ The first rule of A/B testing:

Never start without a clear, measurable hypothesis.

Bad: "Let's test if users like the new design"

Good: "Changing the CTA color to high-contrast blue will increase click-through rate by 10%"
2/ Your A/B test has failed before it starts if you can't answer:

- What's the minimum effect size that matters?
- How confident do you need to be?
- How much traffic do you have?

These determine your sample size. Let's break it down.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.
1/ I run 5 Claudes in parallel in my terminal. I number my tabs 1-5, and use system notifications to know when a Claude needs input code.claude.com/docs/en/termin…Image
2/ I also run 5-10 Claudes on claude.ai/code, in parallel with my local Claudes. As I code in my terminal, I will often hand off local sessions to web (using &), or manually kick off sessions in Chrome, and sometimes I will --teleport back and forth. I also start a few sessions from my phone (from the Claude iOS app) every morning and throughout the day, and check in on them later.Image
