About 6% to 10% increase in housing cost due to immigration in the UK since 1990. Total increase ~150%. So marginal impact.[1]

But nice populist dog whistle.

Totally unrelated, but it's still interesting that a lot of the key music software was / is created in either Berlin (Ableton, Native Instruments) or in / near Hamburg (Steinberg of Cubase — now owned by Yamaha — and Emagic of Logic — now owned by Apple). There must have been something in the air.

Regardless of the business. Their website design is :chefs-kiss https://mistral.ai/

Hashicorp comes to mind. From ~$90 at IPO, cratered to $25 and then taken private again by IBM

This is XML without the < and >

Actually the opposite: they came into their prime after the acquisition. Probably not due to Salesforce, but still.

Are you pulling in any big assets / artifacts?

Refreshing to see an acquisition (acquihire?) that just plainly says they were not able to monetize.

100% the most original and truly scary hard SciFi from the last year.

I just fed the above into Claude Code and it one-shotted this in 5 minutes. Already doing $3B ARR after lunch.

Jules, Vertex...

After using Google AI studio, Google Vertex, and Google Gemini Chat I honestly can't wait to use Google Antigravity!

edit: Also Jules...

snark off:

I think the Google PMs should have coffee together and see if all of this sprawl makes any sense.

Interesting that this is now a venture-scale company, according to YC.

Saw it on Twitter and was interested. But from the video and demos I immediately did not understand why Notebooks and Notes are two tabs? In my mind, a Note is IN a Notebook, not some separate adjacent item...

This is, as far as I understand, self healing ONLY if the name of a CSS class changes. Not for anything else. That seems like a very very very very narrow definition of "self healing": there are 9999 other subtle or not so subtle things that can change per session or per update version of a page.

If you run this against let's say a typical e-commerce page where the navigation and all screen elements are super dynamic — user specific data, language etc. — this problems becomes even harder.

Why do you have an accountant? Or a lawyer? It's the same thing. Corporations don't have all skills in house for a ton of things.

I was an IT consultant. A big energy company wanted to go to the AWS cloud. Their folks were too busy and had no experience. We (my consultancy company) already had the knowledge.

Consultants don't only give advice. In many cases, they also do the work. But advice is also a "product". If your in-house team does not have the knowledge or time, you hire a consultancy firm.

How are you different from Browserbase?

Founder mode unlocked

yep, exactly. We implement some parts of that over the years and it's a hog.

Even if you weed out the willy nilly stuff, you will bump into Enterprise users that are actually correct.

They will mention something you know you should have added but always wrote off as "bloat" or "not really really really needed". Those things start happening more and more the moment you are doing $100K plus deals.

next up Ubisoft. Last Assassin's Creed was also a snore fest.

Very true.

But then you start selling to Enterprise and everything changes. Because one missing "hygiene feature"* can tank the the whole deal. And every Enterprise has a different one.

*like a toilet. It needs to be there. You use it 3 minutes per day. If it is not there, the house is uninhabitable.

This blogpost is almost impossible to read. Might be AI augmented. So many unnecessary sentences and embellishments.

Shame, the actual topic is interesting

yeah, but spans can have events!

ideal will handle that. But it’s only in NL.

Wait till you learn about iDeal. Basically flawless online payments for 10+ years in the Netherlands. Dominates the entire online and offline markets. No cards, no signups, just your normal bank account.

P.S. lives in Germany 5+ years and can attest its banks and online banking are generations behind its neighboring countries. A travesty.

Off topic: Venmo does not exist (?) in Europe land. What’s its appeal compared to PayPal or regular credit cards or even debit?

what does that mean? Were the leaked keys irrelevant?

Interesting. We removed it as it was mostly too verbose, catching too many false positives and never really added anything useful.
