OMG!!! What?!? I’m on the Epic Stack contributors slide presented by @kentcdodds at the Epic Web Conf

I’ve learned so much from the Epic Stack, and it’s been amazing to give back to such an incredible project. Huge thanks to Kent for all the awesome educational content!

That separation has been working really well: different models for different kinds of judgment, with ADRs and GitHub issues acting as the source of truth

Didn’t think I would ever because of the potential merge conflicts it could create. But it’s pretty powerful for unrelated tasks

are you a foreign national restricted from accessing Claude Fable 5?

Now you can hire a US national to prompt on your behalf
- full access to restricted models
- supports iMessage and WhatsApp
- tips optional

😭

[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.

Consul General @MahavirSinghvii concluded his productive visit to Prince Edward Island (PEI) by meeting the vibrant and growing Indian community of PEI. This included a visit to the local temple, followed by a community gathering organised by the HariPrabodham Parivar. Addressing the gathering, Consul General highlighted that the recent high level visits from both sides and the ongoing CEPA talks have added momentum to the bilateral ties, and the diaspora plays an indispensable role in this as an active, living bridge between the two countries.

During these interactions with the community members, Consul General heard their queries and concerns and reaffirmed the Consulate’s continued commitment to the welfare of the diaspora.

A valid use case for long lived environments are UAT environments per partner/client where they review the software that is being created for them. These are controlled environments. Only QAs are allowed to update these environments to ensure stability. Can’t really share a new unique link every time something needs thier review. QAs just update their env easily.

@housecor I wouldn’t say Change Approval Boards are bad. They are a requirement in some industries. Audits are real and companies have to follow rules, can’t argue they won’t coz it’s a bad DX. Same with manual deploys for compliant repos. I mostly agree with rest, but with nuances.
