Fun fact - MGMT made these songs as a f**k you to mainstream music because they thought it was all such bs.
End up pumping out a nuclear banger reactor
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows Foster the People performing their song "Pumped Up Kicks" on the Late Show with David Letterman, not MGMT.

Treating prediction markets as a crystal ball for elections was always a silly idea.
Election bettors ultimately rely on the same public information as everyone else, including polls.
Turns out asking a sample of voters is still pretty relevant.
... except for the humans answering.
We keep coming back to this: in a world increasingly filled with synthetic data, genuine human responses are becoming the most valuable resource.
Agents can orchestrate the research. Insights still come from real people.

@AnthropicAI Paying subscriber, Claude Code has been returning authentication errors all day, first /login didn't work at all, now I'm caught in a /login loop with API Error: 401 "Invalid bearer token"},"· Your support bot is not helping and no one is responding to my ticket.
I've spent hours today with Claude.ai and FIN ai trying to troubleshoot without success. Will a human employee step up ?
I watched the EU elections coverage from @FranceTV . Not once did they show this chart, talk about other EU countries, mention Von der Leyen, the EEP, party coalitions and future EU policy. Instead, only chatter about French national politics.
With the first national estimates out, this is how the new European Parliament looks.

As for France and its mainstream media, they wasted another opportunity to understand/explain how European institutions work, and to make a case for what is probably the most important and innovative democratic project of the Century.
Two good sources in English to better understand European politics:

The latest Harvard CAPS / Harris poll is getting a lot of attention today.
As a survey professional, I find the results a bit odd.
That seems very contradictory to me. Are these findings highlighting a real contradiction in the mind of this age group, or was there an error in the analysis? Or is there just a lot of garbage in the data?
I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on this report alone.
It would be great if raw survey data was available for a third party to validate survey findings before they're widely commented.
