Just asked Claude to optimize my Ubiquiti Wi-Fi setup at home.
54% increase in Wi-Fi speeds on my phone. 25% increase on wired. 🤯🤯🤯
Prompt: I got a new UniFi network; can you optimize it? Make a list of all proposed changes and get my approval first.
Took Claude 25 min.

August 9th, 2026 is officially the hottest day ever recorded at Hong Kong Observatory since records began in 1884, with the mercury rising to 36.8°C at 1.20pm.
The previous record at HKO was 36.6°C on August 22nd, 2017.
Taxis in HK look identical after forty years! So much for “a better tomorrow”! 😑
John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow" (1986) was made at a time when comedy films saw mainstream success in Hong Kong. The studio was not expecting the movie to perform well financially. Tsui Hark recalled that unhappy studio executives asked him to "burn the film" midway through production. As a result, 'A Better Tomorrow' was minimally advertised in Hong Kong. The studio was also concerned with Chow Yun-Fat, who was considered "Box Office poison": unlike the other actors, his portrait was not included in the film's publicity stills, and he received third billing in the credits behind Lung Ti and Leslie Cheung.
To everyone's surprise, the movie was a massive box office success. Chow Yun-Fat wore Alain Delon sunglasses and trench coat in the movie to emulate Delon's character in "Le Samouraï" (1967). Because of the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow", young men in Hong Kong began trying to emulate Chow by wearing long coats and sunglasses, despite the local humidity. Because of that, the Alain Delon sunglasses were sold out in Asia. Delon sent John Woo a personal thank you note.
P.S: On this day, 40 years ago, "A Better Tomorrow" (1986) was released in Hong Kong.

Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.

What @coatue_thomas learned about TSMC work culture when visiting Taiwan:
"I'm driving back to Taipei City with my host from TSMC and we're on the highway and there's a golf course and it's nighttime, so there's lights and people playing."
"I very innocently turned to him and said, 'Wow, you guys play golf at night here?'"
"He looked back at me and said, 'Well, when do you play?'"
And that's when I realized we're in a different level of work here... It just became obvious you didn't have to necessarily worry about who was going to win. The the whole infrastructure layer will win."
From his appearance on the show last month.
