Surprised about the editing quality of @gruber’s WWDC interview. Video resolution seems capped at 1080p, and the audio is super wonky, I think 2 or 3 mics were picking sound up simultaneously?

Our contractor in France sent this photo of a wall he's renovating. Can’t wait to see the final result!

So many bizarre takes on Fablegate!
"Anthropic asked for it", uh no, they merely were cautious and worked with security researchers to patch vulnerabilities.
"Their IPO is dead", again no because the public's memory spans 14 days.
"They are internally barred from using it", no of course not because they're working on mitigations (requested by the US gov).
"This is a win for OpenAI", no because they may become victims of a similar ban.
"The EU is fucked", no, not immediately, but we do need to get our own AI together pronto indeed, which is a whole problem by itself.

First Czech Embraer C-390 in its brand new camouflage scheme of the Czech Air Force.
It will soon land at 24th Air Transportation Base Praha-Kbely.

My prediction: directive lifted within 5 days
Jun 13
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

i’ve owned every iphone ever made & i can safely now say this.. the new siri is a few years late but absurdly good. really good. like what it should've been from the very start.
it's genuinely conversational. it has all of the context by default. it feels native as part of the iphone hardware itself. & the dedicated camera button finally justifies its existence as an instant visual intelligence trigger. the reactive layer is basically done. & apple did an excellent job here. lots of small elements to add over time though like custom instructions perhaps.
but what’s still missing is proactive & agentic siri which is the siri that acts before you ask. that's the siri that notices, coordinates, books, filters, negotiates, & kills half the reasons you open apps in the first place.
but that's also the version that eats the app store.

We should do this at a larger scale for BESS installations 🤔

🇩🇪 Germany's Stuttgart 21 rail project just got pushed back to 2031, 2 years past the last revised target and a full 12 years late on its original 2019 opening.
The newest delay: over 1,000 km of cables laid wrong, most of which now have to be ripped out and replaced.
Costs have ballooned from €4.5 billion to €11.3 billion, all of which Deutsche Bahn has to eat alone.
This is the country that used to set the European standard for efficiency. Now it's Stuttgart 21 and the Berlin airport that took 14 years to open.

As a EU citizen, I'm really worried that the EU will disappear and be technology irrelevant.
It's one thing to not be able to produce the latest tech, but it's another thing to also cut yourself off from the latest tech because you have bureaucrats unable to understand a thing.

Surprised that Apple's keynote was overcompensating (Craig-everywhere-because-not-CEO) and defensive (rounded corners fix, Liquid Glass fix). Not the confident Apple of before. Surprised the script got approved by Greg.

On-device inference, private cloud computing, strong privacy stance but still EU bureaucrats put a barrier to Apple rolling out their new AI stuff. Shortsighted, ill informed, hurting productivity!
