also (affected mostly startups):

- collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

- section 173


"Claude in Xcode is now available in the Intelligence settings panel, allowing users to seamlessly add their existing paid Claude account to Xcode and start using Claude Sonnet 4"

Headline quite misleading. So not exactly that it will ship in Xcode but will allow connect to paid account.


the best would be some kind of movement from the bottom that customers start to divest at least from some services. Help closest family and direct friends to:

- install Firefox/Zen as main browser

- install uBlock Origin

- switch to Brave Search / Qwant for search engine

- switch to signal for IM for communicating with your parents and loved one (still use WhatsApp elsewhere)

- help family setup passkeys using Bitwarden EU

- advocate that they don't need to buy the latest android but can get 2nd hand e.g. motorola edge+ (2023) and help setup your parents linageos

- when switching router pick one with openwrt support and setup AdGuard on the router (some asus routers already have such things build in)


So divest from American big tech to … new American startup tech? Remind me again of who came up with the phrase “don’t be evil”.

Most of those are open source. Even if not perfect this is still better than doing nothing and still better than perfect but not user friendly.

Trully a road to independence. /s


So is better to do nothing because we cannot divest everything right now? You start by divesting partners that are getting complicated (this year US). Apple divest its supplies by using many different partners and stop using one if they having problem with one.

EU can for sure get a most of those you mentioned from South Korea and Japan who are also having issues with US. At least with those countries EU has stronger hands than with US.


> most of which comes down to using the CPU as little as possible.

it least on mobile platform apple advocate the other way with race to sleep - do calculation as fast as you can with powerful cores so that whole chip can go back to sleep earlier and more often take naps.


Intel stipulated the same under the name HUGI (Hurry Up and Go Idle) about 15 years ago when ultrabooks were the new hot thing.

But when Apple says it, software devs actually listen.


Apple was talking about batching tasks for battery life back when they shipped Grand Central Dispatch back in 2009. It was a major part of that year's WWDC keynote. Race to Zero was also a major part of how they designed networking for iOS.

Peer pressure. When everybody else does it and you don't, your app sticks out like a sore thumb and makes users unhappy.

The other aspect of it is that paid software is more prevalent in macOS land, and the prices are generally higher than on Windows. But the flip side of that is that user feedback is taken more seriously.


And then Microsoft adds an animated news tracker to the left corner of the start bar, making sure the cpu never gets to idle.

Race to sleep is all about using the CPU as little as possible. Given that the modern AMD chips are faster than Apple M1 this clearly does not account for the disparity in battery life.

I think UBI can only buy some time but won't solve the problem. We need fast improvement with AI robots that can be used for automation on mass scale: construction, farming maybe even cooking and food processing.

Right now AI is mostly focused on automating top levels of maslov pyramid hierarchy of needs rather than bottom physiological needs. Once things like shelter (housing), food, utilities (electricity, water, internet) are dirty cheap UBI is less needed.


Landing page slow, flashes and refresh automatically after few seconds in iOS brave


Thanks for mentioning this, we'll look into it


Happenned the same for me recently with anthropic and before with openai. It's yearly inflation is infinity which is crazy

I switched to openrouter but will find out if they do the same


I believe OpenRouter currently does not expire credits, but in their terms, they explicitly reserve the right to expire them after 1 year, so they might do it in the future.


OpenRouter takes its cut though


It's so much harder to make very accurate image to plain HTML conversion than plain HTML to react et at. LLM are very good with translating between different web frameworks.


Confirm, same for me


I think they had another such effort for a while here: https://github.com/google/crubit
