Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500. Their reasoning: "S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market. No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family." This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027. The requirements that will now remain in place are: • No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies. • Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion. • S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters. • S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float"). The S&P rejected proposals that would have: • Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months • Waived profitability requirements • Waived minimum public float requirements

Realising Apple went public at under $2 billion and 15 times revenue in 1980. SpaceX wants you to buy at $2 trillion and 100 times revenue in 2026. That is not getting in early. That is being the exit for venture capitalists who have held this equity for years at a fraction of what you are being asked to pay. Almost none of the retail investors buying this IPO will read the 300 pages before the book closes on June 11. That is your entire competitive advantage right there.

Really exciting to see Herb being adopted at GitHub! 🌿 Over the past months, the GitHub team has been running Herb across one of the largest Rails codebases out there where Herb helped uncover real issues missed by existing tooling while also providing invaluable feedback. 🙌

I upgraded my Claude token counter tool to compare different models and Opus 4.7 does appear to use 1.46x times the tokens for text and up to 3x the tokens for images - it's priced the same as Opus 4.6 on a per-token basis so this is actually a pretty big price bump

GitLab's founder was told he has bone cancer. No trials would take him. Doctors signed off. So he went founder mode on his own survival. - Built his own treatments - Used AI to analyze his own tumor data - Open-sourced 25TB of his medical records for any researcher on earth Relapse-free since 2025. The system said he was out of options. He made his own.

Introducing the new dev-browser cli. The fastest way for an agent to use a browser is to let it write code. Just `npm i -g dev-browser` and tell your agent to "use dev-browser"

Claude Code will write all my code, but leaves it to me to figure out when 8am UTC is.

What's the best license to open source macOS & iOS apps so people can fix bugs, add features, etc. but only the company can distribute the binaries? Also business use must be paid, but free for personal use.

Cancelling my OpenAI subscription a month due to “bad vibes of their mgmt” seems well founded from their double speak today

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

I discovered Claude code had decided on tabs in a new project. I senior engineered that back to spaces. I didn’t write the code; but I choose the whitespace.
"We used to debate using tabs vs spaces in code we'd type out"

Dear god I hope Anthropic succeeds in defending the West against Trumpland fascism. The depths that Trumpland will go to avoid the midterms does not yet know a limit.

Anthropic's CEO Explains His Refusal to Back Down to the Pentagon. Amodei explained his deep concerns over "autonomous drone swarms" and mass surveillance. He pointed out a crucial reality: our military's constitutional protections rely entirely on human soldiers having the ability to disobey an illegal order. AI weapons don't have that fail-safe. He also warned that AI could completely bypass the Fourth Amendment. Right now, the government can't possibly process every single conversation recorded in public spaces. But with AI's ability to instantly transcribe and connect millions of data points, it could easily map out political opposition in seconds.

Alert! Senior engineers out there armed with Claude code or its kin, you need to keep an eye out on a new project. Why? Without you knowing, it might pick tabs instead of spaces.
