Wherever this goes, it is fascinating to watch the competition between codex and Claude code in real time

What I've been up to for the past year or so...

[CanaryIQ @canary_iq]

Around a year ago, we quietly set up CanaryIQ. We work specifically on analysis of emerging technologies – those that we widely talk about today (AI, surprisingly) and those that only a few discuss (Photonic computing is exciting?).

Stop chasing every new AI model. The real edge? Model-agnostic infrastructure, quality data, and smart prompt engineering.

@wallaceme Essex sold the F1 numberplate for £400k 15 years ago and the owner apparently rejected a £10m offer for it 5 years ago. Arguably it would have been better for Essex to hold onto that one for a few years more

Chasing Cool: Jaguar’s Gamble

https://t.co/TxaCRIxVco

[Simon Minton @SimonMinton]

A lot has been said about Jaguar’s rebrand. Here are my thoughts. It isn’t just bold—it’s existential. The rise of EVs has transformed cars into consumer electronics and China is setting the pace. 🧵

[Simon Minton @SimonMinton]

This isn’t about selling cars to everyone. Jaguar’s new strategy is rarefied: a lifestyle for the few, not the many.

But in an industry of cautious evolution, is this gamble bold—or desperate?

@chu_onthis Have been saying this for the past year—especially so those PMs who have worked with overseas dev teams. They know that clear, specific language and avoiding any assumptions can make or break the result

So the new iPhone Mirroring feature on iOS/MacOS completely breaks the screenshot protection on 1-time view photos etc. on WhatsApp, Snapchat etc. Probably good to know.

So, when I wrote this a couple of weeks ago I was obviously unaware of the fact that o1 was around the corner!

It's been interesting playing with the o1 preview. I have a lot of thoughts but this week's article is on a different topic.
