The world next innovations depend on a single country, Taiwan

The world’s current and next innovations depend on a single country: Taiwan. It’s probably one country you might never hear about, or perhaps confuse with its neighbor, Thailand, or even think it’s a part of China. I’ve been living in Taiwan for 3+ years, and am baffled that I never pay attention to semiconductors. I’m a software engineer but didn’t think much more about the importance of them. As far as my laptop can change code to real things and doesn’t lag when I have constantly hundred tabs open, I was satisfied.

been using sprites.dev to spinup coding agents on the fly for each users inside my products. But it's been quite unreliable... network issues, sandboxes unresponsive I like the idea of the sandbox going to sleep and you can wake them up to make work. Any good alternatives?
Getting some seriously good heads up with heylife ai agents
Those are the last few days anthropic allows to use claude agent sdk inside your subscription for experimenting and testing your products... anyone else migrating to openai? what are the gotchas?

I've asked Claude Fable to make kamio.ai character more cute
if you played the sims / animal crossing / tamagotchi you will love kamio.ai ; )

Uber just each of their dev to $1,500/month on Claude Code. Why?

1. Hook devs on the $100/$200 sub: subsidized, cheap tokens
2. They get dependent, push the company to adopt it
3. It spreads org-wide (support, ops, sales, analysts). Every call = tokens
4. SOC 2 forces them off the sub onto the API: full price, no subsidy
5. Bills explode, so companies start capping spend (see: Uber, $1.5k/dev).

Consumers get subsidized tokens. Enterprises pay full price. Well played Anthropic
