• dzenib: No, we hate both. For different reasons.

Techmeme surfaced this June 27, 2026 story in its cluster on Sakana Fugu and 360 Tulongfeng, and the concrete original URL is Kate Park’s TechCrunch article, Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models as Anthropic’s export ban drags on. The important point is not that two Asian AI companies made ambitious benchmark claims. It is that U.S. model-access restrictions are already being converted into a commercial and geopolitical pitch for alternatives.

Techmeme surfaced this June 26, 2026 release in its top-news cluster on OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 rollout, and the concrete original URL is OpenAI’s post, Previewing GPT-5.6 Sol: a next-generation model. The important story is not just that OpenAI has a stronger model family. It is that the model is arriving through a limited, government-aware access process that could become the template, or the warning sign, for frontier AI releases.

What happened

The official Cloudflare Blog published the engineering write-up Unlocking the Cloudflare app ecosystem with OAuth for all, a June 24, 2026 post about opening self-managed OAuth to all customers after a careful upgrade of Cloudflare’s underlying OAuth infrastructure.

The product surface is simple: developers can create OAuth clients, users can grant scoped access through a standard consent flow, and integrations no longer have to depend on broad API tokens. The engineering problem underneath was less simple. Cloudflare already ran OAuth for a small set of manually onboarded partners, but that system was not designed for broad ecosystem access, agentic tools, richer consent, easy revocation, and stronger anti-phishing affordances at Cloudflare scale.

Techmeme surfaced this June 25, 2026 pricing shift in its Apple memory-shortage item, and the concrete article used here is Rolfe Winkler’s Wall Street Journal report, Apple Raises Prices on Macs, iPads by $200 or More on Some Models. The important part is not just that Apple raised prices. It is that Apple is publicly telling customers that the AI data-center buildout is now expensive enough to change consumer hardware prices.

Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’ (r/technology)

• Xollector: This is what you get when you essentially have a cartel in control of supply.
• nukem996: Suppliers have never cared about small customers. Small customers are much more costly while generating very little revenue. It doesn’t matter how public or “important” they seem. I’ve seen hardware vendors drop US military suppliers because their support burden was too great. If you are not a whale customer you are not worth their time.
• 81PBNJ: Went to order 10 Surface Pros from CDW. Got the quote Tuesday morning, they wouldn’t honor it the next day because prices had already increased.

Techmeme surfaced Thomas Claburn’s report in The Register on a newly published challenge to Microsoft’s topological-quantum-computing claims. The immediate controversy involves two Python mistakes and data that did not appear in Microsoft’s original paper. The larger issue is more consequential: when software decides which experimental regions count as evidence, a plotting or filtering choice can become part of the scientific instrument.

The Pragmatic Engineer surfaced this piece in Gergely Orosz’s June 23, 2026 essay, Slow down to speed up: so much has changed in 6 months’ time. Based on his Craft Conference keynote and reporting across AI labs, large technology companies, startups, and traditional enterprises, the article argues that software development has crossed an important threshold: coding agents can now generate changes faster than many teams can review, understand, and safely absorb them.

Grad to staff in 2 years at meta (Blind)

To get to e6 there needs to be enough scope/business reason for the manager to justify it., and it takes years usually. Also the promotion is lagging so you essentially need to be performing at an e6 level for around a year before you get promoted.
• cv-x (Mercedes-Benz AG): No, but you can get from Staff to unemployment in 2 years

• Asyncrosaurus: Who knew having every CEO come out and scream about how their cool new AI product was going to cause mass unemployment, would result in backlash. No way to have forseen that.
