Has anyone found an app/service more hostile to Claude than Squarespace? Mailchimp is way up there, but at least they have a fake connector. I can't even get Opus 4.8 to use Chrome to edit an event listing. (and like Mailchimp their API is beyond anemic). Looking at any/all headless options now.

CHART OF THE DAY: On Apr 16, the IEA made a headline-grabbing warning: Europe had "maybe 6 weeks or so of jet fuel left." It's week seven; the planes are still flying. Since those headlines, European wholesale jet fuel prices have fallen ~30% to a ~3-month low.

Here’s a surprise. For the 2024 presidential election, Trump appears to have pulled ahead of Biden in aggregated betting odds from the top exchanges. electionbettingodds.com/

I am informed by a fellow passenger that the pilot may not be correct, and that this is more likely a @fireflyspace launch out of Vandenberg(??)

The "Maui Fires People Locator" shows over 5,000 people listed as missing. 1,300 remain unfound. We are praying for the people we know whose status is still unresolved. FYI: The list is a crowdsourced compilation (google sheet) of data maintained by individual citizens and is not made by the American Red Cross. docs.google.com/spreadsheets… #Mauifires

Really hoping that @followerwonk gets back up and running soon. As the organizer of the world's first Twitter Conference (held in Mountain View back in 2009), I was privileged to hear @jason discuss in person how Twitter could monetize, and was dismayed how events unfolded and a once-vibrant ecosystem was instead "bulldozed" over the years. I have been hoping @elonmusk would reverse this process. Keeping @followerwonk alive would be a great step in this direction IMHO. (photo by @scottbeale)
