Hi everyone.

I've used Promotion on a new video with the goal of getting views.

Are promotions helpful at all?

Curious to understand any positive/negative experience you've had.

A while back I wrote a post on r/wallstreetbets about why Anthropic's revenue story doesn't hold up the way the headlines suggest. It got removed because you can't take positions in a private company. But the core argument is playing out now, so I want to share it here for discussion.

The thesis was simple: From my circles in tech scene in Berlin, enterprises are throwing Claude access at thousands of employees with zero training, zero budget controls, and zero accountability. It's not productivity - it's unstructured R&D at $100-200/person/month.

Some examples I was hearing from people in my network working at large tech companies:

• Spending $70 on Opus to build a simple IF/ELSE formula in Google Sheets
• Dumping half a database into context trying to get "insights"
• Multiple people independently building internal tools that could've been a 10-line script
• Using Claude as a hobby project builder on company credits

Multiply $150/person/month by 2,000-20,000 employees and you get $300K-$3M/month per company. That's not a defensible line item when the CFO eventually asks what the ROI is.

The Uber and Microsoft stories are exactly what I expected. Budgets get set, access gets handed out broadly, then someone looks at the bill four months in and panics.

This doesn't mean Claude is a bad product - it's genuinely the best model out there for a lot of tasks. But the enterprise revenue being cited in IPO narratives is partially a spend bubble, not durable SaaS revenue. There's a difference between companies paying for Claude and companies getting value from Claude.

Curious if others here are seeing the same pattern - either as users inside companies, or as people following Anthropic's trajectory toward a public offering.

Hi everyone, wanted to share some learnings with you.

In road freight, multi-pickup multi-drop is arguably the most complex load to plan. Unlike a straight depot-to-destination run, you're constantly changing the state of the truck.

A few principles that I took into account based on my experience and chats with various logistic managers:

1. Identify your carry-through cargo first Before loading anything, know which items are riding past the next stop. These get loaded deepest and against one wall. They should never be in the way of what needs to come off earlier.

2. Load in reverse delivery order Last stop loads first, first stop loads last — closest to the door. Simple rule, saves a lot of pain.

3. Future carry-through is just as important Items boarding now but delivering late? Treat them like carry-through from day one. Wall-bias them immediately so you don't have to move them when the next batch boards.

4. Check center of gravity at every stop, not just at departure As cargo comes off and new cargo boards, your weight distribution shifts. A load that's balanced leaving the depot can be badly front- or rear-heavy two stops in.

5. Watch your floor load per stop, not just total weight Total payload might be fine, but if heavy items concentrate in one zone after a partial unload, you can exceed floor load limits locally.

6. Per-stop snapshots beat end-state planning Don't just plan the final load. Visualize what the truck looks like at every stop — what's on, what's coming off, what's boarding. That's where mistakes hide.

I'd love to hear your opinion on this topic and how do you handle it today.
