Interesting note from Simon Willison that Claude’s new tokenizer translates to higher costs:

Opus 4.7 uses the same pricing is Opus 4.6 - $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens - but this token inflation means we can expect it to be around 40% more expensive

Anthropic pricing is already much more expensive than OpenAI. With how good the new Codex app for Mac is, I think we’ll see more developers move to Codex. But people are also comfortable with their workflows, so there’s not going to be a quick shift, and models and features change nearly every month.

The brand's new European 300-mile urban EV hatchback has great interior space and driving smarts, but a lot of competition.

The time I said, “Hey buddy,” to my wife, and my daughter responded, “She is NOT a buddy.” The time on vacation when she said, “We are going to dinner AGAIN? We are going to ANOTHER restaurant?” The time she was whimpering and her mom asked her if she was okay and she said, ...

In the 10 days since Artemis II splashed down safely, NASA has continued to release new imagery from the mission. A personal favorite is the one atop this post, taken from a camera mounted on one of the Orion capsule's solar array wings. It captures Orion, the Moon, and the ...

The problem with mythmaking is that the myth needs constant feeding, and each dish must be spicier and more exotic than the last. Fortunately for the Buffalo Sabres, they seem to get how it’s supposed to be done. It is no longer enough to cite the 15 years in which they hav...

From the moment his team defeated the previous undefeatable Oklahoma City Thunder in December, you could start to hear the whispers: Yes, Victor Wembanyama is the future but is he, could he be, I know it's so soon but maybe is he already, you know, the best player in, well, ...

[Folk Fest] is not an intellectual experience, it’s an emotional experience. Bob Banghart Visiting Alaska gives me the feeling that people are chasing after when they travel: a little taste of what it’s like to be a part of another world. To live another version of life. Not just looking at it or fantasizing about […]

Victoria Hernandez, 23, was brought into work at the Blanco Road San Antonio Starbucks location in August 2025.  She’d begun working for the company at 17, while still in high school, dutifully weathering the often thankless rush of caffeine-seeking customers for just $10 an hour—even throughout COVID. Soon, Hernandez was helping the $115-billion company open […]

Now that "low-entropy saladoid" has entered my lexicon it will never leave. #SaladTheory

Dave Winer reflecting on UserLand’s name and now working with AI:

I called my second company UserLand. The idea was that we’d develop software for users, always be thinking of them, and listening and give them more and more power to shape the way their computers worked. It was what I felt was missing from software in the 80s, a focus on the users creating their own future.

I applied to speak at WebCamp Europe but didn't make the cut. I did see that Jonathan Desrosiers is giving a talk about the web, and his pitch is right on. Please go listen to him if you're in Kraków in June. I have been developing software around the ideas of building the web, software that runs on top of WordPress, which imho should be playing a much bigger role in the web. I have a track record here of actually founding new tech ecosystems, but as time goes by people forget how this stuff is made, I think. I'll probably try again with WordCamp US and of course Canada again, I had such a good time there last year.

How do you subscribe to a feed in Feedly? Had to ask Google. Click on Follow Sources in the sidebar. It never occurred to me that Subscribe would become Follow. The screen that comes up when you click doesn't offer a clue of how to subscribe to the URL I have on the clipboard. I did enter the URL of the site's feed but that didn't work, and it brought up a screen where they want money. I think I understand what happened here.

Maddy and Sam get into the launch of Mothership and the importance of owning one's own work.

The pasta-sauce company has partnered with the nonprofit StoryCorps on a device designed to record family conversations around the table and save them for all time.

I asked ChatGPT if the term glass palace had been used to talk about pre-PC computer data centers. Yes.

I'm creating new software in ways I never would have conceived of last year. I see solutions to one of the most significant code management problems we used to have, our inability to remember how our code works unless the app is very small and they never seem to be. This is ...

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 have the best active noise cancellation on the market, and they very rarely get cheaper.

Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey have different visions for how to use AI for management purposes, but both imagine a system of heightened control.
