Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has quit smoking — and shared the news with fellow G7 leaders over coffee. European Council President Antonio Costa had his own milestone to offer: he gave up 21 years ago.🚭

Anthropic engineers finally showed how they actually use Claude Code internally 31 minutes of internal workflow that most Claude users will never see on their own here's what they cover: > how to set up project context files the right way > custom commands that save hours of repeated work > hooks that make Claude behave exactly how you need > subagents and how to actually spec them properly "your agent isn't the problem, your spec is" the people who understand how Claude Code actually works inside Anthropic are shipping things everyone else thinks requires a whole team that's exactly why I put together a breakdown of Claude features most people have never discovered you can find it below

Incredible result so far! Do not underestimate the boost that confidence plays after a strong start. You trust your instincts more, a positive cycle of intuition and performance. Meanwhile, your opponents doubt themselves against you.
Javokhir Sindarov is now on a stunning 4.5/5 after beating the World nos 2 & 3 in the kind of performance we haven't seen in an event of this importance since Veselin Topalov started the 2005 FIDE World Championship with 6.5/7! #FIDECandidates

Ten years ago, AlphaGo’s legendary match in Seoul heralded the start of the modern era in AI. Its famous ‘Move 37’ signaled to us that AI techniques were ready to tackle real-world problems in areas like science - and ideas inspired by these methods are critical to building AGI
