Maine Advances First State Data Center Moratorium as 11 States Weigh Similar Bans

Maine's legislature passed LD 307, freezing permits for data centers above 20 megawatts through October 2027. A $550 million project at a former paper mill in Jay faces collapse.

Three tutorials in five days. Claude Code's real product isn't the model.

In five days, Anthropic shipped Channels, Auto Dream, and CLI convergence for Claude Code. None touched the model. All three solved the same problem: what happens when you close the terminal. The .claude directory, not model intelligence, is where the real competitive moat lives.

Anthropic Built an Operating System for Code. Then Shipped the Blueprints to npm.

Anthropic shipped Claude Code's 512,000-line source to npm for the second time in 13 months, its second data exposure in under a week. A post linking to the code hit 21 million views before the company responded. Anthropic told CNBC it is rolling out measures but offered no specifics. Chinese labs that ran 16 million distillation exchanges now have the production harness those API calls could never reach.
