The Rest Is History sponsors and ad reads

This episode is brought to you by Claude by Anthropic. Tom, as you know, recently I've had to work through all kinds of issues. One of them was having to write the notes for a series about the First World War in 1915. It would have been so easy to be overwhelmed by that, like an Italian soldier trudging up a limestone hill towards Austrian guns. But whereas the Italians often felt alone, I knew that I always had you, and that was very special. Yes, you did, Dominic. And if I'd had to do it on my own, I'd have probably been daunted. And the good news is that when you need help, there's Claude. Claude is the AI for minds that don't stop at good enough. It's the collaborator that actually understands your entire workflow and thinks with you. So whether you're debugging code at midnight or strategizing your next business move, Claude extends your thinking to tackle the problems that matter. For problems worth solving, get started with Claude at claude.ai slash restishistory. That's claude.ai slash rest is history.

It would have been so easy to be overwhelmed by that, like an Italian soldier trudging up a limestone hill towards Austrian guns. Whereas the Italians often felt alone in that campaign, I knew that I always had you. It was very special. You did dominate. And if I'd had to do it on my own, I'd have probably been daunted. I never felt alone, but sometimes people do feel alone. And the good news is that when you need help thinking through a problem, there's Claude.

This episode is brought to you by the Gates Foundation. We have touched on the fall of the Roman Empire a few times on this show, haven't we? But what our listeners may not know is that among the causes that historians talk about, it's not just barbarian invasions. There's also talk of a disease which people call Roman fever, which I believe we know now as malaria. For thousands of years, humanity was defenseless against it. But thankfully, we live in a time of incredible ingenuity and American scientists and partners around the world are fighting back with support from the Gates Foundation. Yes, so they're creating a new generation of bed nets that kill up to 90 percent of mosquitoes that leads to a 50 percent drop in malaria, saving lives and protecting vulnerable communities.
