Losing credibility means someone had it. I don't think anyone thinks Flock had any credibility. This was known from the beginning.

People without EU citizenship also enter EU.

Recent changes to EES system have been a disaster, and as op has pointed out, people do have to scan their biometrics more than once coming from a non-EU country. In some cases even if you are a EU resident in case the airport has no specific queues.

I use handy.computer and it is pretty much everything I want from a transcribing app.

Yet there are people still giving money to Musk, using X, Grok and other products which are run by a guy who decided to kill millions of kids worldwide.

I know your acquaintances are on X and it is 'ecosystem that is hard to leave', but sometimes it takes a bit of courage to stop contributing to vicious people. And by using his platforms, you are directly doing that.

There are other apps too, such as Overcast, and ads on podcasts are really easy to skip.

Use shorter prompts: In internal evaluations, replacing long, explicit system prompts with minimal prompts improved scores by roughly 10–15%, while reducing total tokens by 41–66% and cost by 33–67%.

A shorter prompt results in half as much tokens spend? I find this very hard to believe.

This might get this control out, but people's anti-EU stance will just be increased by this and long-term this is a terrible move.

Just fueling material for right wingers who will take advantage of this and push for secessionist stuff.

EU is in dire need to have VERY POPULAR measures among people, not idiotic stuff like this which is a step in a wrong direction.

You fail to understand that Apple investing in China is in their best interest - and then returned back to millions of shareholders. If investing in the USA would be a better ROI, there would be no need for any measures like this to force companies somewhere.

People in favour of tariffs make it seem like the best and wealthiest economy in the world is in a bad shape, and it is completely opposite, while failing to address the inequality issue with the wealth distribution.

It is quite inevitable that things like this happen whenever a big, soulless corporation ends up buying people who unique set of skills and talent.

Similar thing is happening in other areas of the industry, where companies like Vercel, Anthropic, OpenAI just keep buying companies and it is really hard to find a case where things turned out well.

I know a few of my comments are related to this, but these new names are horrible. Why introduce ANOTHER layer of confusion and drop the mini, nano suffixes that people got used to?

How does this go through so many layers of management at a trillion dollar company without who has a say raising this? I simply can't believe how stupid the naming scheme from OpenAI was and continues to be even after they acknowledged it earlier.

What pages?

This is such a sad state of the industry that a reply to a tweet is now considered like an announcement by the company.

No context, nothing, just a title and a random link to a tweet, which has a seemingly relevant response from someone who works at OpenAI I guess.

Back to terrible naming from Open AI.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/ has a good web client :)

e-Residency is most likely the main reason for this 'run' from Estonia.

Network request access is really helpful!

When having access to both backend and frontend, and then seeing what actual code is requesting and returning can really help with hunting bugs or doing basic QA.

Same as in Balkans. We literally used coursebooks from Britain.

With Musk buying Cursor, it is good to have more alternatives on the market.

Of course they will convert. Not all, but even a single person buying the game at full price is better than dozens of reselling transactions where Sony makes no money and is actually losing money as those people are not buying new games.

Not a fan of this of course, just saying it’s a calculated move they just copied from other industries. People complain and minority ends up following their principles, but similarly as with streaming, nearly everyone just has Spotify and that’s it.

Great find! I would just add that trust is indeed in the boring parts, but with gymnastics like this trust can be irreversibly lost. Then, no matter how boring tool is, there is no going back.

Anthropic has become a choice for many developers because of Claude Code, but in the recents months with "small things" like this and whole Fable fiasco they are *actively* pushing people to both competitors and local alternatives.

And if someone spends a significant amount of time and money to switch, it will be really hard for Anthropic to get those people back.

I used to be in this camp, maybe not 150+ days but with month+ uptimes, but now with Docker I have to restart regularly as I frequently get notes about 'no more disk space' and the only way to reclaim is is to reboot.

This should be a wakeup call for data security.

Hah, author is funny.

I have an Late 2012 model, so it is 14 years, but the point still holds.

Speaking of LLM looping techniques, Claude seems to be having elevated error rate on a /loop as well.

My 15 year old Mac Mini has the same amount of RAM as this machine in 2026. I bought it used around 7-8 years ago for 200 EUR.

Saying thank you to the bus driver in UK felt nice. Doesn't really hurt anybody.

Does anyone know what is the technique they use in some of the documentaries where they use really old photos, but they make them look like this wiggle gram? I know it's not AI because the photos can be decades old, but they still do some stuff which that makes them almost see like 3D.

No

Agree, it definitely is rude. Saying hello, good afternoon, responding to a question about cash/card also involves communication, and with earbuds it is simply rude to the other person.

If you don't want to talk to anyone, go to self-checkout or a vending machine, but cashiers are humans and not just robots scanning items.

Not sure why people keep posting links to X videos when they are available from at the official announcement post: https://www.midjourney.com/medical/blogpost

World's first trillionaire doesn't need more money or influence in destroying people lives, let's do a small step at a time and not use X.
