The will be fantastic for corporate IT/security. They can simplify to just Mac management and deployment, replacing cheap windows computers or chrome books for non technical staff.

Yup, people closing the chatgpt accounts and going to anthropic. The numbers they must have done this weekend alone must have been huge.

Also the usage patterns for claude code must be full on, ralph loops running 24/7 will melt stuff!!

I wonder will distillation attacks result in much better opensource models? Is there Common Crawl for distillation attacks?

Resend ยท Email for developers The best way to reach humans instead of spam folders. Deliver transactional and marketing emails at scale.

I canโ€™t say enough good things about Resend. They really nail the hard parts of sending email. Over the past two weeks Iโ€™ve migrated three different projects, each using a different email provider, over to Resend. Based on some small tests Iโ€™ve run, their delivery rate also appears to be higher.

Thank you. I just read the article. I still have concerns regardless of the company behind them. The call interception risk is one that all the operators seem either ignorant of or are ignoring. Iโ€™ve heard it being referred to as a flying โ€œIMSI-catcherโ€. I hope the regulator is aware of the risks.

A question we might have to ponder soon. Why is it legitimate for Britain, France, US, China, etc. having a nuclear deterrent, but not Ukraine?

Any software company like IBM, that has hostages rather than customers, will die. Portability costs & code rewriting/refactoring costs dropped to relatively tiny amounts.

The only thing going for Oracle is itโ€™s massive investment (debt) itโ€™s made into AI infrastructure.

Six people are being prosecuted in Paris over the use of an IMSI catcher to send out phishing SMS messages. Here's a thread of the proceedings.

Apple is really trying to shove MacOS 26 Tahoe down our throats. They're hiding it as a default under updates, and also having it under Upgrade.

I'm going to hold out as long as I keep getting security updates or they fix the awful Liquid Glass performance in Tahoe.

FSB INSIDER SPEAKS OUT: How Putinโ€™s secret service kills, poisons, and controls YouTube video by The Insider World

His latest statement, like is previous statements are theatrical to keep Telegram as been seen as โ€œsecureโ€ by its naive users.

Russian FSB officers see it as untrustworthy because if surveillance won't use Telegram:

Durov told Tucker Carlson he doesnโ€™t visit โ€œbig geopolitical powersโ€ like Russia and has โ€œno connectionsโ€ there. But he was in Russia when the FSB demanded Telegramโ€™s encryption keys in 2017 and flew out of St. Petersburg the exact day the Telegram ban was lifted in 2020.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Guy is BSโ€™er๐Ÿ’ฉ, publicly claimed to be a Russian โ€œexileโ€ since 2014 who never returned. Leaked FSB border records told a different story: 50+ trips to Russia between 2015โ€“2021, flying Aeroflot and riding Russian Railways. The only gap? When Russia was actively trying to block Telegram.

If things ever do go full Handmaidโ€™s Tale, there would be some editor in the basement of the Post, tie half undone, saying: โ€œLook, Iโ€™m not political, Iโ€™ve got a school loan and a lease on a Subaru. Canโ€™t we just workshop an alternative?โ€

Watching journalists finally get riled up about the Washington Post layoffsโ€ฆ honestly, it grates. Where was this outrage when other peopleโ€™s jobs were being shredded and their institutions burned? Suddenly itโ€™s a crisis when it hits the prestige press?

Listening to the @irishtimes.com Inside Politics podcast and their portrayal (Ellen Coyne) is completely missing this point and seemingly unaware of the possible impact social media ban would have on the privacy and security of Irish adults.
