On March 31, 2026, the AI world received an unexpected “April Fools’ Eve gift”: the full source code of Anthropic’s star product, Claude Code, accidentally made its way onto the internet because of a packaging mistake. This was not a hack. It was not an insider leak. Someone simply forgot to add *.map to .npmignore. Just like that, 510,000 lines of TypeScript, 44 hidden feature flags, and a mysterious background autonomous agent called KAIROS were exposed to everyone within hours. ...

On February 26, 2026, the renowned jurist Gao Mingxuan, often called a grand master of Chinese criminal law, died of illness at the age of ninety-eight. As one of the first generation of legal scholars trained after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Gao’s life was almost a living history of Chinese criminal law. He was the only scholar who participated throughout the drafting of the PRC’s first Criminal Law. He was China’s first doctoral supervisor in criminal law. He wrote the first legal monograph published after reform and opening up, and co-edited the first nationally unified criminal law textbook. ...

On January 30, 2026, after months of speculation and both public and backroom political fighting, Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Truth Social: he formally nominated Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve. The language was unmistakably Trumpian. He called Warsh a “central casting” choice and predicted that the former Fed governor would become a “great, maybe even the greatest” Fed chair in history.

But this is not a calm handoff surrounded by flowers and applause. At the very moment the nomination was announced, the Fed’s headquarters on Constitution Avenue was sitting at the center of an unprecedented legal storm. The Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Powell was still underway, and allegations of cost overruns in the building renovation hung over Fed officials like a blade. ...

Have you heard of ClawdBot? It is a very popular open-source personal AI assistant. Unlike traditional chatbots that simply wait for instructions, ClawdBot has a degree of initiative: it can message you proactively, manage tasks, and run on your own local device. Many tutorials recommend running it on a Mac Mini or a Linux server, but running it on Windows is perfectly fine too. In this post, I will walk you through installing ClawdBot on Windows, configuring it to use Google’s Gemini API (currently one of the best AI model options, with a free quota), and connecting it to Telegram, so you can chat with your AI assistant anywhere. ...

Because of a few personal needs, I often need an overseas phone number. So I have been looking for an overseas SIM that is affordable and reasonably stable. Before this, I had been using Ultra Mobile’s U.S. PayGo plan at $3 per month, and a 3HK roaming card from Hong Kong that costs HKD 268 per year and includes 45 GB of data. Both have their drawbacks. The PayGo card can make and receive calls and texts in mainland China, but it cannot roam for data. The 3HK card can roam for data in mainland China, but its IP address is in Hong Kong, so it cannot log in to ChatGPT, and it cannot make calls or receive texts. ...
