I think there are probably sinister motives behind some of the push to pass keys, but you'd think that if that were true, they would make it really quite easy to add one and to use.
That is not the case. The entire setup/enrollment/add a passkey to your account processing is DMV inspired.
I have always wondered about the origins of the anti nuclear opinion of Germans.
It has Cold War origins to be sure, but what kind?
I suspect American intelligence has been supporting the anti nuclear movement for some time, for non-proliferation reasons - and not just in Germany. I certainly would be, if I ran the State Department.
Great write-up. `git log` really is underrated—learning the flags like --oneline, --graph, -p, and -S turns it into a powerful debugging and code-archaeology tool.
This seems like a shot across the bow for all large Claude API customers, which I'm sure they saw coming.
But still, a TSMC style pure play model provider would win huge business in the space given how many application companies are being eaten by model companies.
I'm surprised more people are not talking about the fact that the two best models in the world, Gemini 3 and Claude 4.5 Opus, were both trained on Google TPU clusters.
Presumably, inference can be done on TPUs, Nvidia chips, in Anthropic's case, new stuff like Trainium.
I despise Facebook and all that it stands for, but if the surplus value that it has extracted from humanity over the last two decades is reinvested intelligently into nuclear energy, I'm actually okay with it.
Despite the hype that you see on Twitter, the hard tech startup scene is actually incapable of large-scale engineering coordination on the level needed for a nuclear power plant, or even a gas turbine.
If any innovation on fission reactors is going to be successfully commercialized, we will need to see billions of dollars of investment over medium to long time horizons.
Of course, the millstone around the neck of nuclear power is that it's a dual-use technology. There's probably a lot more behind the scenes that's been done to stifle the industry effectively for non-proliferation reasons, but masquerading as cost, regulatory problems, environmental concerns, etc.
I would buy a Cybertruck tomorrow if it had a gas engine. I would buy a $10,000 or $15,000 gas generator add-on if it enabled unlimited range (provided I have gasoline).
There are just too many places, even in California, where I have to limit my trip because of electric range.
Given recent high profile redaction events, I think one simple use of AI would be to have it redact documents according to an objective standard.
That should in theory prevent overly redacted documents for political purposes.
An approach that could be rolled out today would be redacting with human review, but showing what % of redactions the AI would have done, and also showing the prompt given to the AI to perform redactions.
Whether or not the patent was actually granted in this case, I have not been able to think of a compelling reason to have patents for software. In fact, I think most intellectual property laws need to be seriously rethought.
If the objective is to maximize investment by protecting successful results, I don't think our system is doing a very good job.
Who can do this with good data controls? I don't want to have to dig through the fine print of some Terms of Service page to figure out if a sequencing company is going to save a copy of my genetic code for possible future use.
