I'm reverse engineering some retro roms with Fable 5 and keep on getting kicked down to Opus 4.8 (for no real reason). The solution ? Have Opus divvy up the work and spawn Fable 5 agents ....
In our scenario, frontier-model export controls were a 2028 event. It took two days for it to happen 😢. The most capable US models are now legally off-limits for non Americans. The silver lining is that it's getting very hard for European policy makers to keep ignoring this.
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.

🚨𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU–INC, a new framework that lets you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100
Starting a company across the EU today = 27 legal systems, 60+ company structures 🤯
That might be about to change…
The European Commission just introduced 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰., a new optional corporate framework designed to make Europe actually function like one market.
Here’s what stands out:
→ Set up a company in 48 hours
→ Cost: < €100
→ Fully online, no minimum capital
→ One single framework across all EU countries
→ Easier share transfers & fundraising
→ EU-wide employee stock options (huge for talent)
Especially the EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when employees actually sell (instead of when granted) is huge.
This makes it far easier for startups to attract and retain top talent, finally putting Europe closer to the US playbook.

In short: This is Europe trying to compete with the simplicity of a Delaware C-Corp 🇺🇸
And honestly… it’s long overdue.
For years, European founders had 2 choices:
1. Stay local and deal with fragmentation
2. Move to the US to scale
𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰. is trying to remove that trade-off.
If executed well, this could be one of the most important structural changes for European startups in decades.
What do you think?
Chromebooks are the fast fashion of computing. Manufactured cheap, impossible to repair, out of support before they're out of the box. The cost was never low - it was just moved to the planet. We just don't call it what it is: designed e-waste.

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS
