Anthropic is building a PaaS. So far, it’s a PaaS for one user, I think. They've got isolated VM's/containers, they've thought out support languages for the major languages. simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/...

It’s weird that Apple’s translation app only offers Spain Spanish. The company based in a state with a huge Chicano population couldn’t even pick a dialect spoken on this side of the globe?

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
