Noticed similar behaviour (request is processed, but don't get response due to connection error) in Claude app. Solution is to a) report to Anthropic (thumbs down button and send a message from help menu) b) after a connection issue don't retry. I don't use Claude design, but in the Claude app you can reload and often the completed task/chat will appear in recents when the network issue is resolved.

The comment said “putting 3 cups of coffee in a can we drink 4 or five of in a day” that would be 1,000–1,500 mg of caffeine. The FDA guidelines is 400mg a day and drinking 1200mg quickly can induce seizures

> Yesterday, Anthropic were compromised and Cursor extension used by tens of millions of developers for Claude access was delivering a remote access trojan via an SSH reverse backdoor
That's a bit hyperbolic: someone released a version of the Claude Code VS Code extension with a backdoor on the Cursor marketplace:

> Donald Trump said Google rejected his request to rename the Atlantic Ocean after himself or America. Speaking at a rally in South Carolina on Wednesday, the president said he had called Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, to ask whether the company could “handle” his proposal.
>According to Trump, Pichai rejected the latest proposal. Trump described the Google CEO’s response by saying, “No, no, no. This time I’m not doing it … Oceans are different, sir. They cover … a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that.”

> like proposing initial designs for new molecules
James van Geelen Of Citrini research brought up a good point on a podcast this week, that designing the molecules is perhaps 10-20% of the effort in bringing a drug to market. We have more possible drug designs than ever get developed.
Whilst AI drugs might be more likely to pass phase 2 tests than others and AI might be applied to the rest of the process there are still big bottlenecks in the way of AI creating a radical change.

It mentions "humanity" 21 times.

A 50 year old spruce is about €50 in Finland - from the map the trees don’t look that mature.
You can buy a similar sized forest for €50-150K.

The trees being cleared look like commercial forest - trees planted a few decades ago after a previous clearing

This isn’t necessarily about the loss of the trees, but cutting them down possibly without an environmental study. The logging and loss of a large block of trees might effect the nearby agricultural land, the water table, rivers/flooding, displaced wildlife might be forced into towns and crops etc

> Does it really matter so desperately if it takes your AI query an extra 10 ms to go to the middle of nowhere and we have to wait to build renewable or nuclear power to scale it?
The middle of nowhere in Finland is likely to be a forest (about 80% coverage).
The area being developed is roughly here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/f5vn3KaZ1eZEcNh67?g_st=ic

And some kind of bin holding attachment would be far more efficient than using arms and 'fingers'
