Woke up with this in my head. This was some pretty important music to me as a kid (hearing it nearly a decade after the show debuted). Still brings a smile. Quincy Jones, theme to Sanford and Son ("cute funk" ?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsE9...

There continue to be HSR service cancellations, caused by mismanagement, resulting in severe shortage of working buses. The Public Works General Manager and the HSR Senior Director continue to falsely claim real-time bus location data and info is wrong, saying no longer any cancellations. #HamOnt

Once again, according to the General Manager of Public Works and the HSR's seniormost Director, the HSR's computer systems are experiencing an unknown malfunction, the real-time transit data (and the eyes of Hamiltonians) are malfunctioning, and these HSR cancellations alerts are false. #HamOnt

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.
