I think this a popup for their shopping research promotion feature they added last week. I guess its a first party ad for their own new feature, but I don’t think its the third party ads that this article is talking about.

I would imagine they couldn't offer models through Bedrock. I think this means training and traditional computing workloads for their products (such as the workspaces for Codex cloud)

This is the difference between “partitions” and “regions”. Partitions have fully separate IAM, DNS names, etc. This is how there are things like US Gov Cloud, the Chinese AWS cloud, and now the EU sovereign cloud

Related but if you want a less algorithmic YouTube experience, I'd recommend the Play app on Apple platforms. It uses each channels RSS feed to rebuild YouTube in a much nicer and less distracting native app.

Unlike a lot of people on this site I really enjoy the YouTube algorithm to discovery new topics/videos, but it can definitely become a rabbit hole.

Thats most articles posted to HN

For some people the "uphill battle" is the fun part

I think we’ll start to see a bunch of fintech companies use stablecoins for things, but as more of an implementation detail and not really a speculative market like it was before.

US Mobile is really good. You can also get on any carrier you want via it (and multiple if you are really inclined)

> You need to go through your provider to transfer, which requires calling them and verifying your identity.

I don't think this is true for all providers. I've never had to do this for T-Mobile for instance, it just activated without intervention.

I was using Orion for a while, but it was so hopelessly buggy that I had to go back to Arc. Hope that changes in the future.

> Would the EU allow Visa or Mastercard to impose such exclusion rules on merchants who want to accept their credit cards? Definitely not.

I mean Costco has been doing this for many years and people seem ok with it? It's somewhat annoying but I get enough value out of Costco that myself and I think many are happy with the tradeoff.

Am I the only one that finds that not that crazy?

> I can’t see a way around that except to have some kind of sandboxing or a concept of untrusted or tainted input rather than treating all tokens as the same. Maybe a way of detecting if the response of a tool is within a threshold of acceptability within the definition of the MCP (which is easier with structured output), which is used to force a manual confirmation or straight up rejection if it’s deemed to be unusual or unsafe.

I think we are starting to see these remote agent environments where each agent session gets its own sandbox environment to run things in. I bet thats where this is going.

> Is this the first time Apple has offered something substantial for the App store fees beyond the SDK/Xcode and basic app distribution?

They've offered 25hrs/mo of Xcode Cloud build time for the last couple years.
