    Depends who you are. 16% of the UK is in absolute poverty (20% if you account for housing costs), while only 10% are in absolute poverty in the US. I'd rather be an American on an …

    That's income, not disposable income. It's also median, instead of mean. It's also wrong. Median income in the UK is £39,039 which is about $49,500.. You linked to the US Wikipedia…

    Apologies, that should be fixed now, but let me know if any issues.

    You'd have to ban beets if you want to ban nitrates. Caffeine is more of a performance enhancer than nitrates, but they wouldn't ban it because everyone drinks coffee. Sleep is the…

    The shoes definitely help, but there are all sorts of other innovations that get far less press. More is known about optimal fuelling, hydration and sleep. Improve those and you im…

    Yeah, that's valid. It's not open source yet, but watch this space. I can't even see people's email addresses when they sign up (as they just sign into their Claude Code account), …
