Peter Steinberger temporarily blocked from Claude:

When multiple people asked him why he’s using Claude instead of his employer’s models at all, he explained that he only uses it for testing, to ensure updates to OpenClaw won’t break things for Claude users.

I think there is one of two things going on, maybe both:

• Anthropic is generally less open, as I blogged about last week.
• Anthropic is constrained by limited compute, so they optimize for profitable users.

OpenAI’s massive investment in new infrastructure will look either foolish or brilliant depending on how the next year plays out.

For people who like the view from trains as much as I do, here is a minute and a half video of us just rolling through the French countryside.

The new ChatGPT Pro at $100/month seems essentially just as good as the previous $200/month plan. It appears to even include Pulse. I’m gonna try to switch to get a feel for the token limits. I could never come close to hitting limits before.

Garcia Coffee House.

Morning in Malaga.

Interesting points in this blog post by Andrew Murphy (via Nick Heer) about how writing code faster isn’t the problem. But most of it is really about large teams that have bureaucratic delay fish.

AI can be empowering for small teams. I’m probably shipping software twice as fast with half the bugs.

I’m fixing several things in the iOS app for Micro.blog… If anyone wants to get on the beta, you can join TestFlight here. Will ship to everyone and Android in about a week.

While walking around Disneyland Paris yesterday, I was thinking about the parks I’ve visited and the others around the world. So today on the train I decided to make a list on my blog.

It was a good excuse to use Micro.blog photo collections too. See this GitHub Gist for the source.
