Anthropic redesigned Projects in Claude Code. The old project was a folder: some files plus one chat. The new one is a single ongoing conversation where Claude acts as coordinator. You describe work, and Claude decides what becomes a thread. Each thread is a full Claude Code cloud session running on its own branch and its own copy of the repository. Threads run in parallel, report back to the conversation, and keep going after you close your laptop. Anthropic’s launch post calls it one conversation that splits itself into parallel cloud sessions. Coordinator and threads The architecture has two layers.…

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced on Wednesday that it’s retiring its weekly vulnerability bulletin. The vulnerability bulletin will be discontinued on September 28 as part of a shift to a risk-based approach in vulnerability management.  The bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities recorded each week. It includes information such as product name, description of the flaw, the date of publication, severity, CVSS score, CVE identifier, and patch information (when available). Each bulletin contains entries for thousands of vulnerabilities, sorted alphabetically by affected product name and severity, but it does not provide guidance on prioritizing the…

The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates for the first time since 2023 on Wednesday and it sent the bitcoin price — briefly — all over the place.  But then it settled and currently sits a modest 1% higher over a 24-hour period.  And according to asset manager Grayscale’s crypto research team, bitcoin is unlikely to be bothered by the Fed’s decision.  “We believe yesterday’s move was a mid-cycle adjustment, not a cyclical change,” wrote the firm’s head of research, Zach Pandl, in a Thursday note.  “And we doubt the one or two rate hikes expected for 2026 will lead to…

NASA has selected SpaceX to provide launch services for the agency’s StarBurst mission, a small satellite designed to investigate neutron star mergers and the origins of short gamma-ray bursts. StarBurst will launch aboard a Bandwagon rideshare mission on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida no earlier than 2028. The selection is a firm-fixed-price task order under NASA’s VADR (Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare) launch services contract. This indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract allows NASA to acquire launch services during a 10-year ordering period, with a maximum total value of $1 billion…

In early March, U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States had already “won” the war against Iran but still had to “finish the job.” Months later, as fighting escalates across the region and diplomacy is stalled, the “job” remains unfinished with no end in sight. Trump on Wednesday said that “hopefully we are toward the end of the war” and suggested that Iran wants to make a deal. But that optimism is belied by what’s happening on the ground—and there’s little evidence that Tehran is eager for an agreement. The United States has had military successes in the war,…

What was claimed The number of people who have started apprenticeships dropped by 9% between 2023/24 and 2025/26. Our verdict Misleading. This is based on incomplete data for 2025/26 compared with a full year’s worth of data for 2023/24. If you compare the latest nine months with the equivalent nine months in 2023/24, apprenticeship starts in England have risen by about 11%. What was claimed The number of apprenticeship starts collapsed under the last government after 2020. Our verdict Incorrect. The number of apprenticeship starts per year in England rose after 2020/21—although that year may have been affected by the…

Under NATO’s Article 5, an armed attack on one member is viewed as an attack on all. Russian hybrid attacks, espionage and stray drones have probed the threshold of what constitutes an armed attack. “There is a real risk that drones or other types of missiles could enter the territory of one or several NATO countries on the eastern flank and cause damage. And the official narrative will be that it was an accident and that there is no reason for anyone to consider any kind of NATO response,” Tusk said. He also said that “not all politicians in the West, in the…
