Takeaways from the March Fed meeting: • The era of 'easy' cuts could be over. Last year's were a recalibration; the next ones have to be earned with better inflation data or downside risks being realized. • The dots weren't as hawkish as feared, but Powell told markets not to

Interesting survey data from @AnthropicAI. Wonder how long it’ll be til we see 9 move up the ranks with all the changes in Hollywood.
We invited Claude users to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do. Nearly 81,000 people responded in one week—the largest qualitative study of its kind. Read more:

An objectively wild career move and one I couldn’t be happier with or prouder of. The world needs more local reporters more than it needs more national ones and even if I go back to national reporting one day, I’ll be a much better reporter for this experience.

I asked Claude Code what an easy way to work on a project is while I was on vacation without a laptop and it said to just enjoy the vacation
One of Claude’s best features is that it will often tell you to “go to sleep.” Can’t imagine chatGPT doing that- it acts like it is desperate for every last second of engagement. It’s so clear which one is healthier/better.
