Begun, the price wars have

We’re introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

At the very least they should have to wear a sign like this that says "I tried to butt in line and board outside my group"

For a couple years it was looking pretty lean and I wasn't sure if it was gonna make it, but my little willow tree really seems to have figured it out this year

Welp, assuming that's a wrap on Sproat for this season - although I expect Zastryzny or somebody to actually wind up in the bullpen instead of Stallings for the postseason roster

They could've just thrown Grant Anderson but I think it's largely true that there's no point throwing a real pitcher once the ump has shifted into calling shit two feet above the zone a strike for the other team's position player

What are the odds that this ever a) actually gets made b) ends up being the movie stunt that finally actually kills Tom Cruise

Untitled Tom Cruise/SpaceX Project

Will Tom Cruise film his next movie in space? In July 2020, Cruise, director Doug Liman, and writer Christopher McQuarrie teamed with Universal to make the first narrative film to be shot in space. SpaceX's Crew Dragon plans to fly Cruise to NASA's International Space Station, where Axiom Space and Space Entertainment Enterprise plan to add new ISS modules, including a space station movie studio that intends to launch by December 2024. Plot details and cast have yet to be announced, but who do you want to see join Tom Cruise in space?
