Anthropic is bleeding out. Claude Code is popular but

Anthropic is very likely losing money on every single Claude Code customer, and based on my analysis, appears to be losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars per customer.

How can you continue to operate if your product bleeds you dry? I'm glad I'm not the only one puzzled by how this works.
But if you do want to use Claude Code, check out this site, which shows you a good system prompt to use to get the best output.

Yep, it looks like the sh*tposters were right: Gavin Newsom is going to build low-income housing in Pacific Palisades. Can't have nice things anymore, Californians. Better get used to it.

I haven't used Spotlight since I tried it when it first came out with OSX Tiger. It was lousy and I could never find stuff. I've been looking for something like the old Magellan Navigator. But I see that Apple has been working on it. Today I noticed, however, that if I have a file called something like "my-secret-stuff.txt" Spotlight won't find it if I don't type the file extension, too. So you have to know what kind of file it is, or Spotlight will not find it.

Some articles about gabapentin and pregabalin have come out. It can work wonders short-term, but long-term, it causes problems. Long-term gabapentin causes cognitive deficits. Paper here. Then there's a report that long-term use of pregabalin is addictive.

There's something ironic about AI taking the jobs of employees at Indeed.com and Glassdoor.com. They'll know how to get another job, I'm sure.

Even The Economist realizes that the European asylum system isn't working. Really? It took you that long? I think it's too late for Europe now. There's too many migrants to do a Trump-style eviction. You'd definitely need an army, and in the process of removing them, the migrants will destroy everything in the city on their way out. No more nice things anymore.

Wow, PARP1 inhibitors may be effective in treating EBV-associated lymphomas and carcinomas. Talazoparib would make a potentially effective maintenance therapy.

I'm not going to see James Gunn's Superman. Gunn wanted to make a political statement about immigrants in this movie. He made Kal-El's parents evil instead of protective and loving, and removed the statement about "the American Way". The SFX are cheesy and Lex Luthor was terribly miscast. There are too many side characters, causing confusion, and what the hell happened to Green Lantern? And Superman is not the invincible Man of Steel – he gets beat up quite a bit. Superhero movies need to be directed by someone like Sam Raimi, Christopher Nelson or the Russo brothers.
