@mitsuhiko Distributed lockfiles have essentially failed as far as I can tell. No one else implemented support, file formats/config change too often & consumers should be/will continue to own their dep graphs in totality.

[Darcy Clarke @darcy]

@mitsuhiko This tends to be more of a balancing act then I think most maintainers understand. If you're trying to take control of the deps/software your consumer gets you've got options today. If you want only partial control you'll end up with partial results.

tl;dr "we believe the government is dumb but we've fear mongered them & everyone else enough that we have to take a temporary L"

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Love the work @motdotla is doing with @dotenvx & am excited by what he's doing with Armor ⛨ - Our @vltpkg team got a excited when we first saw that first name change & appreciated Scott's willingness to adapt the name again to ensure there wasn't any confusion. Much love 🖤

[Scott Motte @motdotla]

Update: Renamed again to Armor ⛨.

@darcy and the amazing team behind @vltpkg - many of the same guys instrumental with npm and github - kindly brought up a concern that naming it VLT could confuse the community. It was a good point and really glad they raised it with me. Armor ⛨ it is!

Notably, I hope this doesn't give the province/feds cover for more real estate bailouts. Government programs, spending & thinking they can employ every Canadian is the problem here.

Not the best way to end Toronto Tech Week that's for sure. I think the boots on the ground have known this for awhile so waiting for technicalities is pretty sad. The bright side is, hard times can create strong people/companies - if they survive.

Canada has now posted three quarterly GDP declines in the past year. Now technically in recession
