Haven’t you heard about Codex?

its an SKU from OpenAI's perspective, broader goal and vision is (was) different. Look at the Claude and GLM, both were 95% committed to dev tooling: best coding models, coding harness, even their cowork is built on top of claude code

I'm not sure how this makes sense when Claude models aren't even coding specific: Haiku, Sonnet, Opus are the exact same models you'd use for chat or (with the recent Mythos) bleeding edge research.

Anthropic models and training data is optimized for coding use cases, this is the difference.

OpenAI on the other hand has different models optimized for coding, GPT-x-codex, Anthropic doesnt have this distinction

But they detect it under the hood and apply a similar "variant", as API results are not the same than on Claude Code (that was documented before by someone).

Don’t forget Pencil, another “Figma killer”. Free (for now). https://trypencil.com/

I was extremely confused before realizing I think that link is for the wrong Pencil. You probably meant to reference this one: https://www.pencil.dev/

You buy your fake ids at the grocery store?

No, but my local AKO newsagent does have them. Don't have a need for them though.

Then pay it again and sort it out after. There’s a time to be right and there’s a time to be pragmatic.

I agree, but it's not clear if the situation was "hey we paid, look at our docs" and hetzner was just like "no give us money" and they were like "no we're not paying", or if hetzner just shut them down without recourse.

Personally, if I knew they were gonna shut me down if I didn't pay before X date, I'd fight it up until X-2 days, pay it, then continue fighting (depends on the amount of). But it's not clear that OP was given such a deadline.

It is related to CI and dev practices etc. A experienced developer using AI would add security/data protection, even when vibe coding.

An experienced developer would not have created this mess nor 'vibe-coded' (i.e. used AI without checking), but this person probably didn't know what they didn't know and believed the AI when it confidently asserted this mess was the correct way to do this.

None of that is related to the practice of Continuous Integration.

If they want to improve but find that European regulations are the main obstacle, it makes sense they focus on that.

Maybe I wasn't very clear. It seems like they are in support of those regulations. They seem like an EU mouthpiece

MCP is dead? Which cli tool should we use to instruct Chrome to open a page and click the Open button? And to read what appears in the console after clicking?

MCP permanently sacrifice a chunk of the context window? And a skill for you cli is free?

Big businesses and government want SLAs, courses for employee’s and a helpdesk they can call. Without that, it’s not even considered.

An American company will always follow US law, no matter the local laws.

It isn't usually an American company doing the local operations, but a local subsidiary. Like Walmart Canada telling Walmart corporate to pound sand in the 1990's over Cuban pajamas. It's illegal for Canadian companies to participate in the US embargo of Cuba.

This is all well within the realm of what governments can and do regulate. Want to do business in a country with their laws or not is the choice.

At some point it comes to a head; Walmart corporate and the USA didn't care enough about Cuban pajamas, but in a situation where they DO care, you quickly get Вкусно – и точка.

The EU (nay, perhaps every country) should be prepared to deal with Microsoft or AWS completely cutting them off from access to all their systems - what would be the cost and impact?

We are rapidly heading to not one Internet, but country-specific internets that may or may not bridge to other ones in some cases.

Apparently AWS sovereign cloud is designed to continue operating even if the US offices cut them off. The servers are in the EU and the people running them are subject to EU laws, not US ones.

Realistically a US executive could be legally required to give an EU engineer a command that they legally couldn’t follow. At that point I guess we find out if the engineers’ national or corporate identities are dominant. I suspect the former in most cases, but who knows?

The US exec probably doesn't want to order them either. So the game would be played and they did their best. There's another article about the US fighting data sovereignty requirements/laws in other countries, but that relies on their quickly dwindling soft power.

Canadian companies can't use Cloud providers at all then? I'm incredulous about that.

Google, AWS & Microsoft all nullroute the countries of Cuba, Iran and North Korea. Google also nullroutes Crimea.

So by using a cloud provider, you are participating in the embargo of Cuba.

Not sure Canada has the leverage/market to get them to sway here. But a body like the EU has the leverage to force local operation and control.

The employees of the actual subsidiary entity follow the laws of the country they're based in.
