Flunking my Anthropic interview again

The Curious Case of Flunking My Anthropic Interview (Again) Here's a vague overview of what just happened: I recently applied for Anthropic's Developer Relations role. My friend who works there gave me a glowing recommendation (thanks again, dude!). I completed their secret take-home assignment. On top of their secret take-home assignment, I independently published diggit.dev and a companion blogpost about my [sincerely] positive experiences with Claude.

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don’t call it an Android

After ten generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.

With 4 million app downloads, Estonia-based startup Vocal Image aims to help people improve their voice and communication skills with AI-powered coaching. But out of its 160,000 active users, it may be its CEO, Nick Lahoika, who best embodies its mission. Lahoika was born in Belarus, didn’t speak English until his relocation to Estonia, and once struggled with speaking anxiety.

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools.

Gavin Newsom’s Bizarro-Trump Schtick Gets Even Weirder With a Memecoin

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, has spent recent weeks mimicking Donald Trump’s style online. Newsom’s team is filling his social media channels with all-caps screeds and vainglorious pronouncements that sound like the president, even rolling out merchandise like red hats that say “Newsom Was Right About Everything.” The strategy has been polarizing, to say the least, with some people embracing Newsom’s approach as a fun attack on Trump, while others say it’s an unnecessary

PONTIAC, Michigan—Traveling a fair amount for work outside of major metros requires relying on rental cars.

On Aug. 26, gamers booted up their consoles and killed a whole lot of bugs. While that may not sound newsworthy on the surface, Sony and Microsoft were actually making history. That's because PlayStation gamers were getting their first taste of Marcus Fenix's classic Locust-blasting adventure in Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of a gritty third-person shooter classic -- and a former Xbox exclusive game.

Sony RX1R III review: Waiting 10 years to be underwhelmed

The RX1R III is an incredible camera, capable of capturing stunning photos. However, for something Sony waited nearly a decade to update and is charging $5,100 for, it also feels like a missed opportunity. First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Plus, it’s missing a handful of features the company really should have included for it to hold its own against other high-end compact cameras, including Fujifilm’s X100VI and GFX100RF, as well as the Leica Q3 family.

Ankylosaurs, with their squat, armored bodies and bizarre, weaponized tails, are an iconic group of dinosaurs. While there were plenty of species present in the Cretaceous, they're thought to have origins that trace back to the Jurassic. It has been hard to say much about those origins, however, because the fossil evidence was so sparse. One of the earliest potential ankylosaur species, Spicomellus, was known from only a single partial rib; others are known only by jaw fragments or teeth. Now,
