Ambos murieron en el mismo mes del mismo año.
Steve fue considerado en gran medida un héroe, mientras que Dennis fue en gran medida ignorado por el mundo.
Steve Jobs nos dio el iPhone, iPad, iPod y Macintosh.
Dennis Ritchie nos dio C.
Y sin C:
- no Unix
- no Windows
- no Linux
- no C++
- no Objective-C
Lo que significa no macOS, no iOS, no Chrome, no Firefox, no Photoshop, no PlayStation, no Xbox.
La mayor parte del mundo digital moderno se construye sobre su trabajo.
El hombre detrás de todo🐐
🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products.
My Take
The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested.
This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown.

I recently got to visit some Apple labs where they durability test new iPhones before they come out, and learned a few things (🧵THREAD)
#1: Have you actually seen how they water test phones for IP ratings? (video)
Más allá de que Jon tenga razón, a los mentirosos cada vez les va a quedar menos margen para colarnos sus mentiras (o tendrán que reinventarse mucho). Resultados de formularle esa misma pregunta a Opus 4.6
"Tim Cook took Apple from $350B to $4T"
So? That's a 11X market cap increase. In the same time, MSFT saw a 14X increase, Google saw a 20X increase, Amazon did 28X, Facebook did 35X. We're not even going to talk about NVidia.
Cook led Apple through a period where every tech company expanded. Yay for him?
In the meantime, Apple had the most compelling pre-AI experience in Siri. They had everything! They had mountains of user data, audio and transcription training data, the biggest and most sophisticated user data network in the world *by far*.
And they blew it. They should be so far ahead of the competition on AI that it makes their competitors fall into despair. Instead, they are a non-player in the biggest tech revolution since mobile, maybe even since the internet.
They could have leveraged their data advantage to create astonishingly powerful models. They make their own silicon, they could have beat NVidia to the punch on hardware if Cook had any foresight.
Instead they still just make high-end devices and now also they make TV shows and won an Oscar for a movie no one saw. I'm sorry, but that's underwhelming.
Ternus as CEO, Srouji as Chief Hardware Officer.
The people who turned Apple Silicon into the leading local AI platform are now the ones steering the company.
These were the people doing heterogeneous on-device AI 10 years ago (w/ CoreML on CPU/GPU/ANE). The software sucked - but the hardware + architecture was way ahead of its time.
This is Apple leaning into local AI. This will define the next 20 years of Apple.
Great news for local AI.
Fin de la era Tim Cook, bienvenido a la nueva era Ternus. Mucha ☘️💪ante los desafíos que tiene a la vuelta de la esquina. Nos entusiasma que se apueste por la promoción de talento interno y x alguien que entiende el saber hacer y ese detallismo que se había perdido últimamente
