That's funny. I was really hoping that Anthropic would make a "Claude GUI".
In one of their Claude Code talks they said it didn’t seem worth it, given their expectation that all IDEs will become obsolete by next year.

Are you implying it's a WW2 reference? Did not occur to me before I saw your comment.
It was the first thing that came to my mind, even though that referenced Mussolini. But I think about WWII probably too often. Maybe the editor wasn't thinking that at all.

The US doesn't generally do new things anymore. We just shuffle money around into peoples' pockets. So we have plenty of societal wealth to do something like this, even given how large and rural many areas are, but we just don't. Because no one gets reelected because they rolled out bandwidth. They get reelected based on however their party is faring in the battle of the spectacle going on nationally.
To be fair, there will be plenty of people using EU funded fiber over here, to complain about how the EU does nothing and is pure evil, and that the country should leave the union.

>What an utter self-own.
Which self own? Besides the one making your industry dependent on energy from your military opponent? Besides the one putting all your eggs in selling diesel engines when China and the US were betting on computer driven battery powered EVs? Besides the one where you open your borders to unvetted illegal immigrants leading to a rise in crime, terror attacks and right wing extremism all over Europe?
Because I lost track.

Yeah, that too I suppose. How could Schroeder have known? :/

Which country? In Germany and Austria you still have DSL cable because the telco monopolies are golf buddies with the politicians.
I hear complaints about German internet connections all the time, and it blows my mind that this could still be the case. What an utter self-own.
I am currently in Poland, the very SW corner. Close enough to get both German and Czech radio in the car.

In the US fiber has started to show up in very rural areas now as well. My parents got it last year and I never thought that would happen in my hometown.
It's some small company I never heard of before, back when I lived there Verizon got a ton of government money to do this and just never did, everyone was pissed about that.
It's a huge difference isn't it? When I used to stay here in the past, the DSL was awful. It made it very annoying to work online. Now, it's as good as back in Seattle.

I am currently on a farm in a very rural area, in a central EU country.
900mbps symmetric, $25/month fiber. The fiber run was subsidized/possibly entirely funded by EU money.

> The data the two missions collect is widely used, including by scientists, oil and gas companies and farmers who need detailed information about carbon dioxide and crop health. They are the only two federal satellite missions that were designed and built specifically to monitor planet-warming greenhouse gases.
> It is unclear why the Trump administration seeks to end the missions. The equipment in space is state of the art and is expected to function for many more years, according to scientists who worked on the missions. An official review by NASA in 2023 found that "the data are of exceptionally high quality" and recommended continuing the mission for at least three years.
This is another one of those posts where I find it very difficult to say something intelligent about deeply stupid events. The project has "carbon" in the name, and that's woke or something, right?
