I used GPT-6 Astra to break an unsolved cipher to one of Napoleon's generals that had gone unread for 217 years.
What makes this impressive isn't actually the codebreaking, but that Astra completed the entire multi-modal workflow in ~6 hours from a single image and goal.

The Environment Agency will take until the end of 2028 to decide whether the Wye needs a Water Protection Zone. Fish Legal calls it “outrageous”. troutandsalmon.com/news/rive…

Disappointing to hear the sound of the can being kicked down the road yet again.
@FishLegal_ "Environment Agency’s Statement of Intent commits the regulator to completing a full assessment of a possible Water Protection Zone by the end of 2028."

. @FishLegal_ criticises the EA’s 2028 River Wye assessment deadline after a decade of legal action.
That would be 13 years from the binding 2015 commitment just to decide whether to seek stronger controls.
The Wye needs action now.

Ukraine's military goes to extreme lengths to save injured soldiers. Meanwhile, Russia's wounded-to-killed ratio is worse than during WWI.

This morning I joined Heather Cornelius and Ryan Cornelius’ brother Chris at @10DowningStreet to deliver a personal letter from Ryan’s family, calling on the Government to do everything it can to secure his release from detention in the UAE. Tim Roca MP @Tim_Roca and Lord Clement-Jones joined us.
Ryan Cornelius must be freed and reunited with his family. We will not stop pressing for action until he is home. @FCDOGovUK @GMJCampaign

1) Went to Petra in Jordan. If you ever wanted to go, go now. It’s the value investor opportunity of a lifetime. The place is absolutely empty. Less than 200 visitors a day, down from 5,000+ previously (down ~95%). Hotels are cheap. Food is great. Amazing guides are available and you literally get the place to yourself…

The EA tells anglers it’s an offence to harm a single eel.
But where is that same urgency when huge numbers of juvenile eels are lost because they can’t reach suitable habitat? These are a critically endangered species.

✍️ A big essay by me for The @Telegraph on the astonishing scale of Britain’s mission to build a working nuclear fusion power plant in Nottinghamshire.
Most people don’t realise the scale of this, which is really our Manhattan Project - a giant national re-industrialisation effort through engineering.

Trying to onboard my parents to ChatGPT desktop app and the separation between Chat, Work, and Codex and the lack of consistency across ChatGPT web, desktop, and mobile apps is all incredibly messy.
I think the team should do a clean up / quality pass or maybe ask Codex to do it.
(I say all this as a Codex fan)

The Pang #chalkstream rated in poor ecological condition AGAIN. Rated poor in 2022, since then there has been no improvement. Thames Water call the Pang its “flagship” chalk stream. If this is what flagship care looks like, what hope is there for the rest? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0km…

Thames Water has now lost over 10 BILLION litres of treated water to leaks since its hosepipe ban began.
That’s more than enough water to supply the entire UK population for a day.
But don’t forget the 4 minute shower warning!

It looks like DeepMind is imploding from within, as the FT suggests, and is evidenced below. My own sources say it just a matter of time before Demis Hassabis leaves as well, despite the theatrical move to the role of Chariman.

England declared in drought today.
We should all conserve water, but the greatest responsibility lies with water companies who waste the most. Since #ThamesWater’s #hospipeban began they have wasted 3.84bn litres through leaks. Live stats: dub.sh/ThamesLeaks

New analysis by @WindrushWasp shows that 80–90% of untreated sewage discharge hours examined did not meet a rainfall test used by the EA investigators in a Southern Water prosecution.
The EA must assess the evidence and investigate any permit breaches. Full report: peter-hammond.com/sewagepoll…
