You can now mod Claude Code: - Change how it behaves - Customize the UI - Swap in your own features Write one with a few lines of TypeScript, or have Claude build it for you. Mods ship inside plugins, so you install them with /plugin in the CLI or desktop app. A few examples:

“What is the purpose of our defence policy?” “To defend Britain!” “No Bernard. It’s to make people believe Britain is defended” “The Russians?” “No, the British. The Russians know it’s not defended”

Bad news: Fable nuked my entire dev machine Claude decided to test a sandbox it was building by running `rm -rf` on my home directory The sandbox didn't work. It's all gone

who made this masterpiece ?

In the 1971 war, India lost a warship at sea. Its sonar had not been able to find the submarine that sank it. India then tried to buy better sonar. The countries that made it would not sell. So the Navy told one of its own officers to build it himself. His name is Arogyaswami Paulraj. He was born in Pollachi, a small town in Tamil Nadu. He joined the Indian Navy as a teenager and stayed for about 30 years. The Navy spotted him early and sent him to the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi for a master's degree. His professors told the Navy not to stop there. He finished a doctorate. After the 1971 war he was given the sonar problem. He had no foreign help, no foreign equipment and no permission to buy either. His team built the system from the ground up. It was called APSOH. It went into the fleet in 1983. It was not a compromise. It is still considered one of the best sonars in the world. He went on to set up 3 national research laboratories in India, in computing, artificial intelligence and military electronics. India gave him the Padma Bhushan. Then he left the Navy and joined Stanford University in America as a postdoctoral researcher, starting again at the bottom. While running wireless experiments there, he noticed something odd in his results about how signals could be separated from one another. He followed it. What came out of it is called MIMO. In simple terms, instead of one antenna sending and one antenna receiving, you use several at both ends at once, and the signals stop fighting each other and start carrying far more data. That is the foundation of every WiFi connection and every 4G and 5G phone on the planet. The chairman of the Marconi Society put it plainly. Every WiFi router and 4G phone today uses MIMO technology pioneered by him. He founded a company on it, which Intel bought. He founded another, which Broadcom bought. He holds around 80 patents. He has the Marconi Prize, the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, the Faraday Medal, and a place in the United States National Inventors Hall of Fame. The internet in your house is running on his idea right now, and almost nobody in this country knows his name.

The U.S. Navy is considering a major redesign of its new Ford-class aircraft carriers to better match President Trump’s preferred aesthetic for the warships, according to seven current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter who spoke to the Washington Post. The President has expressed concerns over the location of the “island” on the Ford-class of carriers, which operates as the ship’s bridge as well as an air traffic control tower and is located more towards the rear of the vessel, with Trump preferring the multistory tower be moved to the middle of the flight deck, like on aircraft carriers seen during World War ll. Moving that command center would be the second major design change prompted by President Trump, who on Thursday issued a national security memorandum directing the Navy to develop a plan to revert to older steam-powered catapults on future aircraft carriers, scrapping the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) currently employed on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78).

A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list. Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.

The engineering team just hired a new lead developer who came from a major Silicon Valley firm. He scheduled a 1-on-1 meeting with me to review our core database architecture. He opened his laptop and pointed out that all of our enterprise user data was routing to a single, monolithic Excel file on a local drive. He said it was the most horrific thing he had ever seen in his 15-year professional career. He asked me why a Fortune 500 company was running its entire infrastructure off a spreadsheet from 2014. I didn't even blink. I told him we don't use standard relational databases because they're inherently vulnerable to SQL injection. I explained that our architecture is a proprietary flat-file hyper-matrix. I said it completely bypasses traditional query language, making it virtually invisible to foreign state hackers. He stared at me for a long time and said the file was constantly crashing because it had 4 million rows. I told him the crashes were actually automated micro-reboots designed to clear the cache and maintain system latency. I used the phrase "kinetic data obfuscation." He started sweating and asked how we handle concurrent write requests from 50 different sales reps. I told him we enforce a strict single-thread chronological bottleneck to ensure absolute data purity. That just means whoever clicks save last overwrites everything everyone else did. He looked like he was going to have a panic attack right there in the conference room. He asked if we had any plans to migrate the data to AWS or Azure. I told him the cloud is just a computer owned by someone else, and I don't surrender corporate sovereignty to third parties. He resigned the next morning citing irreconcilable technical differences. I had HR classify his departure as a failure to adapt to our culture.
