Opus 4.5 has been so good for me! It really feels like a leap forward. I've basically only used it since it came out. For reference, I mostly code in Go.

There is no such thing as “Best” #LLM. There is simply, the best use of a specific LLM to solve a specific problem by a skilled human who knows the underlying training and prompts for the problem that needs to be solved. #LLM Models will come and go like toilet paper, #AI ecosystems will survive.

I was very disappointed at how quickly other countries capitulated. The UK lied down belly up before Trump even finished announcing his tariffs. Europe as well

The former US president (pictured, with Epstein) was one of hundreds who contributed to a heavy leather-bound, gold-embossed album of letters compiled by Epstein's ex-lover Ghislaine Maxwell.

There was a CTV piece going around today quoting a bunch of American business owners in tourist hotspots saying “Come on, Canadians, get over yourselves and come back.” And the thing is, there’s just so much about America that has to be torn down and rebuilt before we can possibly trust it again.

Poilievre won’t let journalists travel with him, won’t take questions from certain media, won’t take follow-up questions, won’t get a security clearance This is not the behaviour of a trustworthy statesman who can be trusted to lead Canada We need to make sure he doesn’t get the chance

Mark Carney says he’ll meet Donald Trump on trade when there’s ‘respect for Canadian sovereignty’
Carney said Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs are "unjustified," and that they breach the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade deal.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

He was inteligible for the most part and he wasn't much worse than anyone else in that debate last night. But I do worry he may have a hard time debating in the general election as the other leaders seem much more comfortable in French.
