Well , there isn’t also the opposite take from TechCrunch where they say: Why Paris may be the most important AI city outside Silicon Valley. [0]
While the EU loves its regulation, I still feel it’s too early to write it down in the AI race. It will not replace Anthropic or OpenAI any time soon, but even Google and Meta fail to do that.
If AI continue to grow and expand, there is enough space for many more unicorns.
What an interesting article. I did not assume I would read it until the end when I opened it, but the writing was super clear and easy to follow.
At the end, I admire the craft and patience to try to solve code diff rendering, and wish the folks at GitHub could put the same effort to improve their platform.
On a side note, I feel that we’re going to see more and more of this type of agentic usage, in well defined sub tasks, and the ability of a model to try many possibilities is a huge gift here.
One of the biggest issues I see with Upload Queues here that is not talked about is the added complexity on the package managers themselves (PyPI, NPM, crates.io ...).
They are already complex beasts of software, extremely important for the ecosystems, and not always well funded. Adding all this extra complexity, with official bypasses (for security reasons), monitoring APIs (for security review while a new version is in the queue), and others is not cheap.
And if somehow, they get the funding to do this, will they also get the funding for the maintenance in the long term?
I don't think the benefits here (which is only explicitly model the cooldown) are enough to offset the downsides.
With the recent incidents affecting Trivy and litellm, I find it extremely useful to have a guide on what to do to secure your release process.
The advices here are really solid and actionable, and I would suggest any team to read them, and implement them if possible.
The scary part with supply chain security is that we are only as secure as our dependencies, and if the platform you’re using has non secure defaults, the efforts to secure the full chain are that much higher.
I have been using OMZ for the last 8 years but recently made the switch to plain zsh with :
- starship for a better prompt
- Claude ported plugins I was using from omz (extract, sudo)
- custom written aliases that were muscle memory
- zoxide for the a command
So far that has been a great move, my terminal tab feel snappy again. One thing I miss (but I’m sure I could find a way to replace it) is `cd ….´
I'd argue ASML's moat isn't the machine itself but the ecosystem: Carl Zeiss optics, decades of supplier relationships, institutional knowledge.
This is clearly a significant achievement, but does anyone with semiconductor experience have a sense of how far "generates EUV light" is from "production-ready tool"?
GitHub Code Search has too many quirks compared to the zoekt powered alternatives (cs.android.com, cs.bazel.build) which feel far more intuitive.
I wish Microsoft would invest more in improving it - especially since Sourcegraph can't search private repositories, leaving GitHub's tool as the only real option for many codebases.
Hoping this pushes a new generation of adblockers, but I'm skeptical it'll stay a fair fight. The next wave of ads will likely be far subtler than today's web ads - more integrated into content, harder to detect, and easier to normalize.
I'm having trouble following the suspicion here. The founder lived in Belgrade for decades before moving to the US, so opening an office there seems like a straightforward decision: you build where you have roots, local knowledge, and existing connections. That's not a red flag...
As for Serbia itself: yes, it's not in the EU, but it's been in the accession process since 2012. The timeline is slow, but the country is economically integrated with Europe. If we're treating a Serbian office as inherently suspicious, that's a bar most of the tech industry wouldn't clear.
While the EU loves its regulation, I still feel it’s too early to write it down in the AI race. It will not replace Anthropic or OpenAI any time soon, but even Google and Meta fail to do that.
If AI continue to grow and expand, there is enough space for many more unicorns.
