Do they specify a particular model? Is that model public?

The page immediately reminded me of that "What is a Dickover" post :)

So it's not an open model while not being much better? Meh.

__This__ is where all those trusted app parts should go - a smart card with e-ink display that can provide high security assurance level and where I won't mind that it's locked down because it has only one purpose.

__Not__ to my smartphone, effectively preventing me from modifying the system in the name of security. A banking app can use a card like this and on the display I could for example see where a transaction would go and then I could accept it, possibly even with a biometric identification.

This would enable me to keep my smartphone customizable and banking apps secure at the same time.

[apologies for the rant]

And it would communicate using?

NFC, with the smartphone, but the smartphone would not need to be trusted, it would just relay encrypted + signed data.

Stop messing with the scroll, I thought there was something wrong with my mouse wheel. Why are you doing this?

Sad to see some people still believe raw capitalism works and that they can "vote with their wallet".. but they don't see that all car manufacturers can just agree to enshittify their products the same way and use their position to ensure you won't just "start your own car company". There's no real choice and those in power don't care.

Only regulation can help.. or a revolution in case the political system in your country is broken..

Anti-competitive practices that you describe ("all car manufacturers can just agree") is definitely not a capitalistic thing (market competition being an important part of capitalism), and indeed regulation can improve the bad outcomes.

I think revolutions are more successful when there is some new idea of what to replace the system with. Currently I did not see anything remotely interesting (ex: french revolution came with the new idea of equality before the law, which was not the case before), and I think is mostly due to low overall education - you can't improve a system if most of the people do not think about complex issues like laws, taxes, efficiency, etc. Everybody loves to point a finger at someone and blame them (immigrants, rich people, woke people, etc.) like that would "miraculously" solve any issue.

I don't think there's a consensus about that, as demonstrated by divided opinions on EU DMA and Apple vs Epic.

The anti-regulation arguments aren't framed as "market competition is bad", but rather "the market will sort itself out without intervention" and "let companies do whatever they want to avoid killing innovation".

Now you can lose money in parallel, 100x faster!

> Claude can plan the work and then run hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session (and with Opus 4.8, the agents can run for even longer).

Did they reduce security research capabilities even further with this release? (they did it for opus 4.7)

This is why we need to fight for the right to unlock the bootloader, not only on flagships.

AI just further increases inequality.. this is fine for the author for now, but might not be fine anymore when we end up with the eventual result - winner-take-all, where one will boast 2500000x productivity increase, while others have no job.

When you see rising inequality, don't just cheer because you happen to win for now.. maybe think about the future and also others..
