That brings back memories!

Anthropic cut off xAI’s access to Ant models in Cursor

I ran 23 experiments watching AI models talk to themselves until they broke. The thing nobody tells you: it's not gradual. You're fine, then suddenly you're not. Here's what collapse actually looks like 🧵

Never seen a nav bar transition like this before. → nakedcityfilms.com

People will be basically the same as today

we have had smartphones for nearly 20 years and this is what it has done for web design

It begins. The EU lawmaker who was in charge of digital affairs during 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's first term has been banned from entering the United States, because the 🇺🇸 tech giants and government don't like the EU's tech laws. What will be the 🇪🇺President's response?

@ericmigi.com I didn't notice when I watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arxh... initially, but ... why didn't you show it off working lol? Aren't the prototypes already working?

That's a game changer for everyone working in sterile environments!

Maybe it's stupid, but I just had to preorder repebble.com/blog/meet-pe...

@moritzclauss.de apropos, warum gibt's auf SWP.de jetzt Washington Post Artikel. Find ich ziemlich unnötig ehrlich gesagt...

The headline is a bit distracting from what it is, but this is a great 101 of what the EU is and how it operates: open.substack.com/pub/davekeat... We all should know this and our local newspapers should better report about this than the US

📣 New article on @frontendmasters.com about a visual problem that bugged me for years: making a card that truly feels deep. frontendmasters.com/blog/the-dee... Would love your thoughts.

Sounds like you read the US strategy paper and interpreted it far more friendly than I took it...

The literal fuck...

Today I learnt how it must feel to use coding AIs as a non-dev. I had it create an Android app (looked at that last time 7+ years ago) that needed to do image processing on the GPU (a magic black box for me always). And we sure had to take a few iterations of manual debugging, but DAMN Opus rocks...

We're told by 🇪🇺President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's @eppgroup.bsky.social & @reneweurope.bsky.social that the #AIact is an unacceptable burden on businesses. So then why did these same lawmakers design and vote for this law *just last year*? What changed since then? 🤔 We know what changed.

substack.com/@quoththerav... The AI bubble has defeated Michael Burry (of The Big Short fame). Last week, Burry shuttered his fund, Scion Capital. He thought the current AI craze was a bubble (and it may indeed be!) but in the end, even the great Michael Burry couldn't hold out. He has capitulated,

I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it". Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

An exceptionally unique card hover effect → lattice.com

Best diagram of the AI bubble I've seen so far 😁

Shopify deprecated their Polaris React components and went all-in on web components. www.shopify.com/partners/blo... github.com/Shopify/pola...

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings! Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

Imagine Loom, but for storytelling 🎬 I built Screenity Pro for creators who want more than just a screen recording. Make multi-scene edits, zoom on click, switch layouts, add captions and templates — then share it with a link. 👉 screenity.io/pro

If you want to drive a car that makes more than 70dB of tailpipe exhaust noise, you have to pay a monthly premium levy to the local EPA, and you aren't allowed to drive it between 10pm and 7am.

sometimes I like to go outside for a walk to remember that there's a big world out there, and the people and numbers inside my little computer screen can't hurt me

wake up babe, a new (old) paper on "artificial intelligence" just dropped! it's got that extra tasty vintage typography too (1976) fulltext: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Finally a good reason to get an apple

Actually hilarious joke, but impossible to pull off lol

GitHub released Spark yesterday, their extremely well crafted prompt-to-app platform for creating and iterating on React apps with user auth and persistent storage I like it a lot! I reverse engineered it with Spark itself, the details are fascinating simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/24/...

I gave a talk earlier this year at the internal Microsoft Performance Symposium called "Five True Things", and the goal was to convey some really basic properties about computers today. A short thread to recap them:

No sir, I wouldn't consider your work to be "courageous." You build software, sir.

This is a fantastic piece by @davekeating.substack.com : open.substack.com/pub/davekeat... Every European politician should read it and start growing a spine. Ditching nationalism is the way forward against local fascism AND international competition!

Point 8⃣: If 🇪🇺 is the last one still following the old order rules, it will doom itself to extinction: davekeating.substack.com/p/an-eight-p... As 🇫🇷President Macron said in his speech to 🇬🇧Parliament yesterday: Trump's "trade war is clearly an explicit decision not to be compliant any more with WTO"

These are the only 2 files you need to self-host Webflow sites on Cloudflare 🫢 (deploy from GitHub, even on the free tier) Will update FlowTube Chrome extension to optionally generate these for you ⚙️ (+ sitemap.xml & robots.txt)

Nobody needs more than markdown

Microsoft released a new terminal text editor! It's called Microsoft Edit, it's open source, it's tiny (about 250KB Rust binary) and it works cross-platform. They built it for Windows 11 - I've been trying it out on my Mac and it's a nice alternative to Vim or nano simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/21/...

And again people love Apple for something that was there before. And no, at least this time, it's clearly as bad, if not much worse

Why do they call it "Planet X or Planet Nine" and not "Planet IX"?

actually unreal how funny this image is

Google’s AI video tools are booming—meet Sparkify, their latest experiment. Just drop in a question or idea, and Sparkify uses Gemini + Veo AI to instantly generate a 2-minute animated explainer—perfect for education.

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

Unpopular opinion: DeepSeek is still the best coding model. In Windsurf it's completely free, is super fast, and in contrast to the "smart" Gemini/Claude/o4 models, it doesn't pretend to be smarter than it is. They generate HEAPS of code and it takes me ages to figure out it's all BS...

That was an emotional ESC final! Still wish Espresso Macchiato had two points more 🥲☕

🚨 Big news! We’ve been collaborating with the legendary @tannerlinsley.com and the TanStack team to build something new: TanStack DB — a reactive, normalized, transactional state engine that extends TanStack Query.

The 1st #Eurovision2025 semi-final is about to begin! #Eurovision is the only major cultural export produced by Europeans for Europeans, with no American involvement As I wrote in today's Substack, Europeans need to move past their cultural obsession with🇺🇸: davekeating.substack.com/p/as-cannes-...
