In Lutsk, Russian drone hit the Eurogurt wholesale store, killing 6 people and injuring 12 others, including a child‼️ With the new Starlink limitations our ability to intercept drones is very limited.

The Black Sea is actually not a bad place for Russia to test NATO, because due to the Montreux Convention it is difficult for NATO to send a naval force to the area.

Late Friday morning in Kyiv. No, I won’t go to the right bank of the city as I planned. Why? The bridge I use was hit again at night (for the third time). And traffic on some other bridges across the Dnipro River was restricted. So, traffic jams are inevitable. I'll wait. I'll wait.

Per Reuters, Anthropic has $252 billion in non-cancelable compute obligations across Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and $161.2 billion in Broadcom TPU lease obligations that are "largely non-cancelable". Truly insane. $413 billion in non-cancelable contracts. www.reuters.com/business/ant...
The company said it plans to spend at least $111.1 billion with Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google, $110 billion ​with Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and $31.4 billion with Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab under long-term infrastructure service obligations over the next seven to 10 years "regardless of ⁠usage."
Anthropic is separately carrying about $161.2 billion of Broadcom (AVGO.O), opens new tab-related equipment lease obligations that are largely non-cancelable, according to the prospectus. Anthropic filed for an ​IPO confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June but its paperwork has not been publicly disclosed.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request ​for comment about the filing.
The company said it committed to pay Google between April 2026 and July 2033 and Amazon between May 2026 and April 2036.
"If our actual spend falls short, we must pay Google the difference," the company said, adding that similar terms apply to its Amazon agreement.
It added its commitment with Microsoft of $31.4 billion ​between November 2026 and May 2033 "is non-cancelable except in the event of Microsoft's uncured material breach."
