From the Hormuz Letter (ownership unknown, but seemingly credible). The extent to which Iran has managed to shift the narrative on this is kind of amazing.
Google AI confirmation of my recollection, for what it's worth. Looks like MUFG has added to their JGB levels from what I remembered. Haven't validated these numbers, but they are being pulled from publicly traded companies information, so should hopefully be pretty accurate as of last b/s date.
The minimum operating reserve for the US SPR is 150m barrels of oil. Sometime in July we go below 290m. We've been burning 8-10m bbl/week all summer. Front month WTI futures are way down the last 2 weeks, up $3 today to $72/bbl. How long before traders panic?
Quite possibly a future Pulitzer Prize-winning photo. It shows members of the Patriot Front, a neo-nazi organization, riding the DC Metro while a woman passenger who should not have to put up with this in America looks on, annoyed.
Here he is with 30 seconds left in the match being sent off because he's covered with blood from a blow to the face that the referee somehow missed. Truly a hard fought match.
Statement from the Pakistan Foreign Minsters Office posted on X at 9:08pm Eastern US re the negotiations in Switzerland.
Fascinating and significant rift that tells you serious Federal AI regulation is coming, as if forcing Anthropic to withdraw it's top tier models from use isn't itself a massive form of regulation.
AI is so good at building AI, that Anthropic's biggest concern is people using Fable or Mythos to build models almost as capable but without the safeguards Anthropic enforces.
How does jet fuel normally only run $2/gal? Maybe I should be putting that in my car instead of premium? So what i I have to buy 200 gallons at a time, doesn't Costco have a program for that? Be totally worth it.
Trump says he is lifting the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait, and Iran needs to open the Strait and allow for Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium to be "unearthed" by the US. He's meeting in the Situation Room "to make a final determination." I'm guessing Iran demanded a show of good faith.
2. Blanche cannot represent the US against his former client, Trump. They might argue the prior cases were matters unrelated to this, but there is too much overlap to waive that conflict; besides, who would waive it for the US? There is no one w authority to do so, bc they all work for POTUS.
"Michael Banks was a major proponent of having agents expand their footprint beyond the border." Yes, in a manner of speaking.
Why is Musk dissolving xAI into SpaceX? He's obfuscating. He's trying to ensure xAI's potential criminal liability for csam becomes SpaceX's. That will make it way harder for countries to prosecute officers & civil damages will be backed w nearly unlimited capital. What will he disclose in the S-1?
