Due to the way Microsoft does sales to enterprises, there’s no incentive for its software to be any good or even compete directly with anyone else… as long as it ticks the right boxes, the people making purchasing decisions are fine with it (it’s bundled in with something critical like Excel anyway).

If the gov really took an expansive view of antitrust, it would break up software bundling and require ala carte pricing per app, defined as a single primary use case.

This will become all the more important as OpenAI/Anthropic start bundling all of their products together and putting existing SaaS out of business for no reason other than to get some crucial model or capability, companies have to buy the whole bundle.


According to Mark Gurman (Bloomberg Apple beat reporter), Apple “runs on Claude.” https://x.com/tbpn/status/2016911797656367199?s=61

That makes sense. The latest Sequoia update can't understand it's done updating and shows the "welcome" message every time I boot. I won't upgrade to Tahoe until absolutely necessary. It's like Apple is doing everything in its power to alienate their users.

"custom versions of Claude"

The same thing they’re doing with Gemini, creating custom versions, is likely what they’ve done with Claude and OpenAI models as well. They’re likely evaluating all of them internally with employees all the time.

Is this bait? XCode has been a mainstay of iOS development ever since iOS was introduced and is a successor to Interface Builder on the Mac.

Why wouldn’t engineers prefer tools they’ve been using (mostly happily) for a decade+?


>Is this bait?

I don't think it's a serious question or the person is very young.

To answer the question. Xcode is the default IDE for iOS development. The default option will always be a practical choice.

JetBrains or Anthropic could get bought by a larger company or dismantled by the government somehow. Should anything happen to Apple (unlikely as that may seem) the entire iOS ecosystem would be gone as well negating any need for a default.


I wish I was young! I have used Xcode in the past. It's just way too slow and anything it does, other IDEs do faster for me.

Some influential iOS devs such as @dimillian and @steipete have moved away from Xcode or even xcodebuild where possible.

Which is completely fine. However these are people with lots of experience in Xcode already. People can have preferences including default options.

The feature says it doesn't restrict the ability of 911 to locate you...

It is restricted to Boost Mobile in addition to using the C1(X), at least for the purposes of this beta version.

They can do parallel construction or use "undercover" informants etc.


Fuzzy Dunlop (it's from The Wire). Their CI was a tennis ball (with an unauthorized camera inside).


Is this available for dogs? I have an aging pup who has early arthritis and I'm considering NAD+ precursor supplements, but this seems much more promising.


Infant car seats face backwards, they recommend backwards facing for a long as possible (until the kid is too big to fit comfortably in a backwards facing position).


An aside: One of the best uses for AR that I can imagine is real life ad-block. I’d wear AR glasses all the time if it would automatically replace billboards and other ads with landscapes.


What a shit world but hey I'd probably buy that if I had to live there.

I can't stop thinking about this rental apartment building in my city that's on indigenous land so regulation around advertising doesn't apply (BC) and they have a huge electronic billboard right in front facing probably couple dozen windows.

I feel bad for the people living there, negatively about anyone advertising there and negatively about otherwise very environmentally conscious land owners for allowing this.


It's weird how the journalists who have access to these files basically stopped reporting on them and joined or started "independent" outfits with massive salaries (500k+ USD)
