> I am unsure that apple themselves understand why their hardware ... has been so successful [like I do]

You have a bold career as a technical journalist ahead of you!

> The Danish government is pro spying on its people.

It would be more surprising if the organisation ultimately responsible for security did not want to.

I have an intelligent, agentic adult spouse, and we both know that if we want to get work done, we should go to our own physical space and close the door, because otherwise the other person nearby will keep accidentally interrupting us because we're "just there". I think a child will struggle even more with this.

> EU laws are completely useless and must be implemented by every government as a local law

This isn’t true. Regulations are directly applicable and don’t require national legislation; directives generally do. Individuals affected by a failure to implement a directive can complain to the European Commission, which can bring infringement proceedings against the member state and potentially seek financial penalties.

EU law also has primacy over conflicting national law, and the CJEU’s position is that this includes constitutional provisions. Courts in Germany and Poland have challenged that position, but refusing to comply can put the countries in breach of their EU treaty obligations and lead to infringement proceedings and penalties.

isn't that true for humans too?

> which implies the logistical tail is a bureaucratic waste that must be minimized to support the combat teeth, must be fundamentally reexamined

Current SecDef thinks looking like a war movie hero is more important, however, so action on this front may be delayed.

Oh, I'm actively doing this at the moment. FreeAgent grabs my transactions from Wise already, and then I give it [Claude Code, in fact] a folder of PDFs to attach to my invoices, including figuring out VAT, and it's uploading what it found using the FreeAgent API. My accountant hasn't complained yet, and it seems considerably more accurate than when my wife was doing it.

Quiet plug for https://github.com/pjlsergeant/byre which I use for all my little projects like this.

Pepsi may not water down its product, but your local diner may well decide to put a little less ice-cream in its milkshakes if it thinks it can get away with it and most people won't be able to tell.

In my projects, Claude writes and Codex reviews, and I've had a lot of code I've been very happy with out of that, although as of today, Grok _also_ reviews, and finds interesting new stuff.

> Fable which is going away anyway

$2 says nah. You can't take Fable away in a week where GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 launch, if you want to hold on to customers.

+1. Also the TUI feels well made, in striking contrast to recent Claude Code.

I think it’s simply Musk cynicism winning through here, and you’re right about it being a side-show that lets him juice the stock price. I’m not even sure he’s wrong: if his lab is the one that gets a definitive break-away advantage, then every dollar investment in his stock will be paid back many times over.

Which benchmarks would you have chosen instead, and why?

I think it's a bit odd to show the API prices for competitors when that's not how most people pay for them. I do like that it's provisioned by Cerebras though. I think I'd have leant towards focusing on the TPS.

They did not.

I am getting into the questionable habit of arguing my point with an LLM before contributing it these days.

> доверяй, но проверяй

I wasn't aware of the source phrase, nor how much better it sounds phonetically in Russian (doveryay, no proveryay)

First time I’ve heard it as a phrase, and it seems to be a useful label. What’s annoying you about it?
