Funny enough, there was an X ray machine demonstrated at the world fair that McKinley attended and it could have saved him by locating the bullet but they didn't feel comfortable using it. His death brought in Roosevelt, who had been shoved into a VP position to neutralize him. Without this, the US might have enjoyed the incredible economic growth and technological progress of the guilded age for longer.
today, November 7, 2026, the shooting of President William McKinley is the exact halfway point of America's history as an independent nation. it happened 45,718 days ago, and 45,718 days after the Declaration of Independence was signed

One of the funniest things with the new kind of grassroots/AI swarm math is that often you get absurd bounds from the first breakthrough and then they get pushed down. This might be one of the most drastic, degree down from 2↑↑7 to 4, coefficients from 2↑↑8 to "just" 2^3247.

Much like the French, when the British are disatisfied with politics, they turn to senseless acts of wanton destruction such as leaving the EU or electing a Labour government.

Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit. A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

Big milestone for xU3O8. Zuri-Invest, a Swiss-regulated asset manager with decades of experience across precious and base metals, will be using @uranium_io as the underlying asset for its Tracker certificate on Physical Uranium. In a market where uranium trades in 100,000 lb lots and physical settlement can take 10-15 days, xU3O8 introduces an efficient layer of tradability while preserving the link to the underlying physical uranium. Built with partners and service providers @GenTwoAG and @ArchaxEx - this is a notable institutional validation of xU3O8 and what tokenization can unlock for commodity markets. Holding the Tracker does not give investors ownership of xU3O8. Their rights are governed by the Tracker’s product documents. Learn more: zuri-invest.ch/en/products/u…

recommend internalizing the implications of this metr thread tldr: (1) capabilities speeding up significantly (2) speedup is not driven by growth in compute (metr estimate overall speedup of approx. 2x on well-specified tasks by Oct 26 vs Mar 24 to Oct 25) there are a bunch of qualifications/caveats worth reading in the thread itself
Since August, a team within METR has worked with internal Anthropic information to assess whether AI itself is accelerating AI development. We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself. In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand. But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

As of tomorrow, posting one scene from GoldenEye could land you in jail for five years in the UK.

At the margin, money has very little effect on American politics.
Just thinking about the remarkable fact that Elon Musk will have dropped nearly a half a billion dollars on this election with no return... wow.

I get why Amazon shopping doesn't offer MCP or an API, but it will be an untenable choice in six months.

Dans la nuit du 1er au 2 novembre, un prestataire de l'Etablissement français du sang (EFS) a été l'objet d'une cyberattaque. Des chambres froides contenant des échantillons de sang, programmées pour être maintenues à - 30 degrés, ont été réchauffées jusqu’à 110 degrés par des pirates informatiques. De quoi se faire un sang d’encre… l.lecanardenchaine.fr/5n

This is deeply immoral. After the Vietnam war boat people started arriving in Australia - many of whom were the people who had fought with us - and who were our allies. We resettled them. We owed alliance to them. There were communists who fought with Australians against the Nazis in Crete. Proper commies. They wanted to settle in Australia and there were (justifiable) objections. They were allowed to settle here - but I think they were directed to Adelaide where they could not be at the centre of attention. (Sorry Adelaide). Sending our allies back to face the death penalty is immoral as any government gets.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw
