I like auto mode but you need something like “If the auto mode classifier denies your request stop and ask the human, do not attempt to work around it “ in your CLAUDE.md. Without it it has a tendency to try rather creative solutions to work around the denial, which kind of misses the point.

I can highly recommend Shapez 2. I’m a bit off and on with factory games but this one really grabbed me.
They can’t and Anthropic have disabled it for US users too.
Though that’s perhaps, in part, to get the govt to change its mind.

Everyone should be using minimumReleaseAge (or their package managers equivalent) to block installing recently updated packages.
I switched to Bazzite last week. I was only using Windows for games anyway. Amazed how simple it was, everything ‘just worked’.
Appreciate that some multiplayer games won’t work, but Arc Raiders does and that’s all my group are playing at the moment.
Somehow I coped without an offer to subscribe to an office suite and cloud storage. Phew.
It’s not that they don’t technically work. It’s just they’re no longer efficient compared to newer versions that can do more with less power. So to remain competitive you need to upgrade otherwise your cost to execute a model is too high.
Hyperscalers used to write GPU’s down to zero value after three years, over the last couple of years they’ve all increased this to six.
The trouble with the railways comparison is that after investing tons of cash the railways were built. With AI the GPUs have no value after 6 years (if that). So the investment must continue forever. It’s madness.
Yeah. It’s super annoying when visiting a foreign country and you want to install an app for a local transport provider. If they haven’t made their app available globally you just can’t install it.

I had to hunt to find them, they are proposed amendments and not yet part of the bill.
Go here https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909/publications

_ After Clause 27, insert the following new Clause—
“Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom (1) Within 12 months of the day on which this Act is passed the Secretary of State must, for the purpose of furthering the protection and wellbeing of children, make regulations which prohibit the provision to UK children of a Relevant VPN Service (the “child VPN prohibition”). (2) Regulations under subsection (1)— (a) may make provision for the provider of a Relevant VPN Service to apply to any person seeking to access its service in or from the UK age assurance which is highly effective at correctly determining whether or not that person is a child; (b) must apply the child VPN prohibition to the provider of any Relevant VPN Service which is, or is likely to be— (i) offered or marketed to persons in the United Kingdom; (ii) provided to a significant number of persons. © must make provision for the monitoring and effective enforcement of the child VPN prohibition. …
The RAM manufactures would normally consider increasing production in the face of increased demand, but they all know it’s a massive bubble so don’t want to, resulting in increased process until this all plays out.
If you do store your data, like me, in iCloud and Apple Photos then you should still take a backup.
The easiest way to do this to request a data export of all your Apple data. It’s then prepared into zip files you can download onto a local storage device.
I do it about once a year, which for me is a reasonable balance between risk and impact.
Here’s a guide: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/get-a-copy-of-your-apple-account-data/

Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.
Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.
Yeah exactly, local AI is the long term future. Open weight models running on your desk are already good enough for a lot of tasks, and quickly getting better.
Apple are in a very good position here and don’t really need to do all that much other than continue to iterate on their existing hardware.
Compare that to Anthropic, OpenAI who must spend insane amounts to host their closed weight models, which seem to be unprofitable at any prices people are actually prepared to pay. As local AI improves these companies have no other business to fall back on. I know which company I’d rather be CEO of right now.
