it's not the first nor the last case. Another excellent similar case was Nokia.

Maybe in the US, but farmland is quite scarce in Lombardy.

Just because it is scarce doesn't mean it is productive.

I have friends with farms and agricultural businesses in Italy. A lot of agricultural land is no longer cultivated by the families that own it because market prices are well below the cost of production in Italy.

this website seems a clone of https://european-alternatives.eu/

Either way, one of the most critical parts is that many are still hosting on Google Cloud, AWS or Microsoft, therefore you are not 100% insulated from Cloud Act.

A lot of the alternatives there are tagged "EU hosted". Some are not.

Are the ones that are tagged "EU hosted" among the ones you mean host on Google Cloud, AWS or Microsoft?

Take Tally (tally.so), the one I took the time to check.

In their footer they say: Made and hosted in the EU which technically it's not wrong, but since they are using Google Cloud and Cloudflare, they are not insulated from the effect of the CLOUD Act.

I don’t agree with the statement about indexing codebase: it works pretty well for IDEs like PHPstorm or other jetbrains IDEs

PHPStorm's indexing is incredible. Aside from a scant few times it's been corrupted, which is easily corrected, I've never gotten stale results.

Although if you've ever used Claude's search tool, you'll be unsurprised that the team knows nothing about indexing.

How a company, whose primary product is text-based chat, doesn't allow users to easily perform text search on said chat is beyond comprehension.

And Claude Code can use Jetbrain's MCP to use that index.

It's an odd statement. AI slop? GitHub Copilot has pretty good local indexing too. It's not a super hard problem to put code into a vector DB..

i don't know when it was introduced, but Claude Code has recently added the cost for your session when you run /usage

I hope Mistral will not fall for the Forbes kiss of death.

This is reminding me when Chrome and Firefox where racing to release a new “major version” (at least from the semver POV) without adding significantly new functionality at a time that browsers were already becoming a commodity. As much as we don’t care anymore for a new chrome or Firefox version so will be the release of a new model version.

The only difference being that we still do care, very much. The models can still get a lot better before we stop caring.

my 2 cents - Claude is not going after EVERY single SaaS (or maybe not yet), but after those products that are adopted by individuals that are keen at experimenting new tools (software engineers, designers etc etc).

At the same time I have the feeling Claude Design is more useful to get UI context closer to Code Claude then anything (and eventually some quick prototyping), but I might be wrong.

Either way, I've been trying to upload a 95MB .fig file and I get a generic error message without any information on the issue itself (is the file too big? not the right format? Tell me!)

if you export the .fig file (even programatically) and you ingest in Claude Design you won't need to create users in Figma, right?

Sure, if your design decisions are completely one-sided and transactional. In my experience, though, being able to comment and collaborate in Figma is important, as is being able to go find specific icons and components on my own.

i believe it depends on the design system maturity too.

I'm not sure in English, but in Italian, for example, Intelligenza is feminine.

Objects don't have gender in English.

Some do, by tradition more than language rules. Ships are "she" and some people refer to their cars as "she."
