Security conscious domain. We do automations on behalf of our clients and they don't want credentials stored. "Handling" 2FA automatically is completely unacceptable, it breaks the…

What about hybrid automations or human-in-the-loop flows? We have automations where the human starts by logging in, then hands over to the agent. Some parts may even be Puppeteer a…

Sounds awesome but can I use it like a regular database for my Laravel/Rails/Django app?

And not just any video data, they specifically mentioned screen recordings for agentic computer uses. A very specific kind of video. My guess is they have a partnership with someon…

I wonder if this would enable the truly "serverless" application I've been thinking about. Imagine shipping a whole Rails/Laravel/Wordpress app to the user to be run in their brows…

It's not clear to me what a "container" and "pairing" is in this context. What if my application is not dockerized? Can Claude Code execute tests by itself in the context of the co…

People who want the Good Stuff in life acquire taste and expertise or rely on the opinion of trusted people who have taste and expertise. It's always been like this. Otherwise acqu…

This is not just for LLM code. This is for any code that is written by anyone except yourself. A new engineer at Google, for example, cannot hit the ground running and make signifi…

I, as an engineer, absolutely support keeping private APIs private in order to preserve the performance of products. This is a good policy decision and a good engineering decision.…

In order to build a high performance product you have to control all of the API surfaces. Apple devices battery life would suffer if any shoddily written third party device could o…

It’s about the fact that opening your API limits your own engineering capabilities. A device with an open API has a different security and performance profile. So Apple has to sabo…

The 25% number you quoted is for the entire European market including Russia and the Middle East not just the EU. Actual EU market is around 7%. Anyway the point is, Apple lost 0 m…

The Russian market is not tiny, it is literally the largest economy in Europe with the highest GDP per capita for 2025 when adjusted for PPP. It is also has the highest population …

Despite Apple’s exit from Russia after the 2022 invasion, StatCounter data shows iOS share actually rose from ~27.5% in Aug 2021 to ~32% in 2025 in Russia. If Apple left the EU the…

If we want to see what the actual impact on Apple’s market share would be if they pulled out of the EU market, consider Russia as a case study. Since Apple pulled out of Russia in …

Few die hards? We have an actual case study: Russia. Apple does not sell in Russia anymore but market share has increased. Here’s a comparison of iOS share in Russia (mobile OS) be…

> It's trivial to get the same performance. It’s literally impossible to build realtime audio apps with ultra low latency on Android. People have been trying for decades. Not trivi…

Evidence: Open source devs and Google and Microsoft have been trying to build MacBook Pro laptop performance for decades and failed. The entire performance advantage of Apple produ…

It’s not about ease of implementation. It’s impossible to build Apple Silicon level of quality in power to watt performance or realtime audio apps over public APIs. Just look at ho…

You might not have an emotional connection but lots of Apple consumers love their devices

The unstable driver issue exactly why Apple should not make devices interoperable as the EU demands. If they comply with the EU demand and then the device performance is bad due to…

They might do it tomorrow. That’s the threat made in the last press release. But obviously they’re going to try and talk it out first with the EU

For the record I actually live in Europe.

There is simply no good way to make the API public while maintaining the performance and quality expectations that Apple consumers have. If the third party device doesn’t work peop…
