@gabrielvaldivia Really dig this - from the design, to the story itself, to the app flows. Very nice. Excited to try this.

@HedgieMarkets I think there's a "door 3" missing here, which I've started to see: smaller & cheaper models become increasing viable for a range of tasks, and orgs don't *need* to pay for the absolute best model anymore because the mini versions are so capable. Or they go to 🇨🇳 low $ models 👀

🦔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.

Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path Ukraine has been pursuing since February 24.
Looking back at the beginning of the invasion and reflecting on today, we have every right to say: we have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood; Putin has not achieved his goals. He has not broken Ukrainians; he has not won this war. We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to secure peace and justice. Glory to Ukraine!

The foundation of being Canadian is multiculturalism: a country explicitly built on successive waves of immigration from every corner of the world, stitched together not by ethnicity but by shared civic values.
If pluralism feels like an invasion to you, the problem isn’t Canada, it’s that you’ve mistaken homogenized nationalism for patriotism. That brand of identity politics trends a little further south.
If that’s more your speed, geography is optional.
Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker@Martyupnorth
Call me a racist all you want. I'm not going to allow my culture to be assimilated by a bunch of low IQ immigrants from 3rd world shithole countries. 27% of people living in this country were not born here, and the fact that so many are OK with that statistic tells me everything I need to know about many folks. Suicidal empathy is real.

Perhaps the most egregious development of the past two years in 🇨🇦 politics: I now find myself agreeing with Jason Kenney on a recurring basis.
Still disagree on a lot – but those disagreements at least seem rooted in a shared truth + set of values, which seems rare these days.

The Blame Canada crowd is angry with the appointment of Janice Charrette to lead trade negotiations with the US. (When are they not angry?) They claim that she’s unqualified, and a Liberal patronage appointee. Some facts: - Madame Charette actually started her career in Ottawa as a Conservative political staffer; - She served as Deputy Minister in some of the largest and most complex government departments; - She was appointed Clerk of the Privy Council (ie head of the Public Service and top advisor to the Prime Minister and Cabinet) by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper; - She was then appointed to Canada’s second most important diplomatic head of mission role, as High Commissioner to the Court of St. James, ie representing Canada in the United Kingdom; - She was then re-appointed Clerk at PCO, the first person ever to serve in the highest role in Canadian public service twice, a reflection of the broad confidence in her ability. There is literally no one in Canada with more senior leadership experience in the public service, dealing with the most complex issues, systems, and crises. Some are trying to tie her to the Trudeau government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act. (N.B. I was the only Premier in Canada to challenge the constitutionality of its invocation.) To be clear: the role of the Clerk is not to provide the Prime Minister with their personal advice or opinion, but rather to offer an objective summary of the views of relevant government agencies and departments on a particular issue, and to outline the pros and cons of a course of action. That’s what Madame Charette would have provided to the Prime Minister per his request for advice on the EA. Per the motto of the Public Service: fearless advice, loyal implementation. In our system of responsible government, the Prime Minister and Cabinet are accountable for decisions, such as the EA invocation. Canada will be well served by having someone of Madame Charette’s ability and experience in such an important role.

I have a suggestion for the province and Metrolinx. We all want transit expansion to move forward. But the cost overruns, delays, secrecy and impacts on businesses and communities due to the Eglinton LRT construction can never be repeated. I propose a public dashboard for all major infrastructure projects. Using visual and interactive tools, a public dashboard can provide residents with the ability to track progress, issues, costs and timing. It can provide more granular details about publicly-shared contracts and reports. It places trust in the public while holding those in power, and entrusted to deliver these projects, to account. We all want transit expansion to move forward. And we want it done well- while using every tax dollar thoughtfully and with plans to support small businesses through the construction. Let’s offer true transparency and accountability to earn the public’s trust and get results.

USA has a very strange looking population density map. Basically entire eastern half of the country is quite populated, and only the sliver of the western part is, then the west to middle is largely empty, with a few spots.

This Blue Jays playoff run has caused me to reflect so much on the things I love about this city. Sportsbetting apps, the Ring of Fire, Roger’s telecom services of various kinds, the Toronto Dominion Bank, Skip the Dishes. The things that make a great team, a great city, possible

@frankprempeh_ii @heysatya_ @figma Can you share the best design you've ever completed on a vibecoding tool alone?
English
Long overdue. This should've been launched at least 18 months ago. The issue though is vibe designing on @figma is largely becoming anachronistic because vibe designing is already built into vibe coding. Why vibe design app screenshots in figma, then export those screenshots into another platform to convert to code when you can just simultaneously create the designs and code in one shot?

Having gone through SR&ED many times - for a total of $500k+ in funds for R&D here in 🇨🇦 - I can say that everything @harleyf says here is spot on.
Well intentioned program with an insanely bloated process & cottage industry of consultants.
Let's fix that. #cdnpoli #startups
Harley Finkelstein@harleyf
Entrepreneurs thrive on speed. But SR&ED slows them down. Canada doesn’t lack ambition or talent. We lack a system that actually helps. The fix isn’t more funding. It’s a smarter process.

Zohran Mamdani is not a serious person.
He has essentially never had a job, despite his elite education from multiple private schools.

@Sauers_ The goal behind 'default on' = create scarcity for AI crawlers & establish a market for paying for content.

@yacineMTB FWIW, this has been debunked. Numbers grew more than they should have - but nowhere close to these #'s factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.64…
More broadly: we can/should be building more. We have the space & resources to grow faster; gov't needs to remove land use restrictions & unlock growth.

"record in stealth"
This is... gross. As tech like this proliferates, we're gonna need to update our social norms and 🇨🇦 law.
Recording in public should be legal for a host of reasons - but it should also be explicit and knowable (minus some carveouts for criminality, etc).
