RT @yongfook: I built an AI slop machine over the weekend. I will never launch it, after seeing what I created. You put in a story prompt, and it generates a more structured story with stakes, cliffhangers, a beginning, middle, end. Splits it into episodes. Storyboards the whole thing, makes a cast, music, poster, voiceovers. Then generates the visuals (different styles available from anime to cinematic) and you can play the episode as a slideshow, or render it as a video. Uses all the latest models that you would expect. A few observations from this exercise: 1) it was trivial to build There's no moat here. This is just "AI glue", building an app that wraps several AI models. The moat is the GTM strategy, which leads me to... 2) this space is insanely competitive there's tons of AI movie makers all using the same models with some thin layer of prompt direction or UX as the differentiation. totally saturated. 3) AI video courses I noticed that some of the biggest advertisers in this space are people selling "how to create your own AI movie" courses. There's something off about this, almost dropshippy. It suggests that there's more value in hyping the thing and selling courses about the thing, than there is in the thing. 4) this shit is really expensive All of those cool AI videos that you see using the latest video models, are expensive to make. A 60 second "mini episode" of a story built using my platform would cost $5 in raw inference. There's no business here, whatever margin you put on top of that can just get eaten by a competitor. And imagine if a user buys $100 of credits (of which $90 is passed through to your AI provider) then decides they hate the movie that was created, and asks for a refund or charges back. Enough of those in a month will bankrupt you. 5) just didn't feel right It's a fun little demo that got some laughs from my friends but ultimately it's contributing to the never ending pile of AI slop. Is that something I want to be part of? Not really.

🇧🇷 Flavio Bolsonaro (the son of Bolsonaro) is at the lead with 63% odds of winning the Brazilian presidential elections today Lula (the current president) is at just 37% Lula is left-wing and promises free money to the poor people and that's how he keeps winning Flavio Bolsonaro is right-wing, and the son of the previous president Bolsonaro who was jailed after allegedly organizing an attack by his supporters on government buildings in Brasilia on January 8, 2023, a literal copycat of the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack exactly 2 years and 2 days later but in Brazil! In the US, Trump got cleared of that, but in Brazil, Bolsonaro got jailed for 27 years because of that Brazil reminds me of South Korea where every new president tries to jail the previous president, it's a different type of politics Many Brazilians don't like either Lula or Bolsonaro by the way, realizing the system is so corrupt it doesn't really matter who you put in power, so they essentially protest vote for one to avoid the other, not liking either One interesting thing about Brazil more recently is how the Supreme Court judges are allegedly used by the ruling president to influence politics, censoring speech against the current government (again quite similar to what Biden was doing) Brazil's politics to me feel very heavily influenced by the US but with a 2 year delay because when US has elections in 2024, Brazil has them 2 years later in 2026. Their political swings have always followed the US ever since they started getting elections with just 2 exceptions in 2000 and 2004 (Bush in US vs Lula in BR) Knowing how accurate @Polymarket bets usually are (it predicted Trump winning in 2024 when the media said he'd lose) this will be very interesting. Funnily enough Lula has banned Polymarket and other prediction platforms in April this year, probably out of fear it'd influence the elections If Bolsonaro wins, many people predict the Supreme Court judges will try annull the election and declare it faulty, which will be another period of drama in Brazil!

I keep going more niche with reverse engineered web-based versions of games 👉 https://ut.pieter.com/ 👈 6 months ago I tried to reverse engineer Urban Terror Urban Terror was kind of a Counter-Strike style mod on top of the Quake 3 Arena engine, I think @Erwin_AI got me to play this during COVID Because it runs on Quake 3's engine like RTCW and Q3 itself, I thought I could just use ioquake3 and WASM to run it on web, then add a multiplayer server and it'd just work... But no it didn't, I got stuck 6 months ago, it was buggy and wouldn't work, I kept trying and kinda got it to load but not really play Today I tried it again with Opus 5.5 and again, I couldn't get it to work, giving up I did a last try with Fable 5.1 on high effort and it after awhile it did figure out the issue! "The engine's struct was 4 bytes longer than what UT's bytecode expects, everything after that point (the entity count and the entity list) was read 4 bytes off" It rewrote the bytecode and made it work! So now we have another game preserved, running 100% the web via WASM, with a multiplayer server tied to it, so you can play with your friends 😊 Every model that comes out makes a bit more things possible and you can just keep trying old things that didn't work before I see lots of people mod modern games now too which looks very cool too Here I'm playing it with @marckohlbrugge a few minutes ago! Anyway you can play it with everyone else at https://ut.pieter.com/ now :D

I think this is super accurate AGI might just create a two-tier split in society, and I'm kinda starting to see it around me One part of society will succumb to AI slopscrolling and free money (basic income) from government as work is replaced by AGI The other part will fight that instead and become an elite counter movement that focuses on IRL, family, local community, and health I think many will be in kind of smaller communities (kind of like eco villages in the pic below), and my friend @csonotes is a good example of that and we try do the same (so I'm probably biased) @okaythenfuture below thinks it'll be in the central parts of big cities though Maybe both? For both of them you need real estate and land though Real estate and land also one of the few scarce resources left in a post-AGI world where almost every good becomes almost free If you told me a decade ago I'd want to buy real estate and land I'd call you crazy, but post-AGI it makes a lot of sense I think

🇪🇺 EU bankruptcies have now reached the highest level since they started measuring them in 2019 Meanwhile new EU business registrations have been stagnant or decreasing I discovered this after another one of the interior design stores in the Netherlands we bought from suddenly disappeared off the internet, luckily we already received the stuff we ordered (a big stone table) and dodged a bullet Quite expensive stuff and their Trustpilot is full of "where's my €7000 table". This is the second interior design store we bought from that went bankrupt just after we received our things, very interesting So I started looking at EU bankruptcies and discovered they're skyrocketing and new business registrations are stagnant or decreasing They really managed to regulate and tax away any existing business while making people give up to even think of starting a business in Europe

We've cut off alcoholics in our friend group before because they are kind of a lethal risk to the tribe After lots of warnings of course I think being an alcoholic you don't realize slowly all your friends get the fuck out and stop hanging with you because you're such a liability This guy in particular was causing havoc by the way, it was getting very weird at parties and the last thing I remember is him spreading his arms in a regular restaurant shouting "I LOVE ALCOHOL" And buying shots for all the staff and forcing them to drink them (the staff did not want to drink shots) It was a great decision

I've been actively fighting almost guaranteed age-related loneliness for years, studies show after age 30 you start seeing friends less and when you get older especially men don't have any social life left! It's preventable, but it takes effort and initiative We've now organized 70 weekly coworking days where we meet with friends and work together, do show and tell, and try help each other make things (also hardware stuff more recently) We've also started organizing movie nights, art nights, barbecues, we watched the World Cup final on a projector screen in the garden with friends We did a collage night the other day where we bought cheap gossip magazines, colored paper, and Pritt glue, and gave everyone scissors to make their own art, I think nobody spent time on their phone for at least 4 hours, making things puts you in a flow state and it's fun to do it in a group because you talk about different stuff while making things than you would for ex having a dinner Movie nights are nice too but less popular I think cause everyone prefers to watch movies alone and also you can't really talk during a movie Coworkings range from having sometimes 20 people to sometimes just 2 people, people have their own lives, but me and @rameerez still try to organize them weekly One thing I realized is that we are usually the ones organizing stuff, but that's not a bad thing, there's even studies about this, there's usually a few people in a group who organize most of the events If nobody in your group organizes stuff, it doesn't mean nobody wants to do stuff, but you have to take the initiative to bring people together which isn't easy in a time where phones and apps and the internet are simply easier and cheaper dopamine than driving to a friends house for a party You can start with a coworking day, everyone brings their laptop, and you provide WiFi and coffee, then later you can try more types of events Having an active social life is just as important or in some studies even more important for health than physical fitness After a nice party I feel tired but satisfied, I had fun and didn't spend time on my phone or computer but instead talked and laughed with friends etc. We don't drink alcohol with very few exceptions and nor do our friends, so it's mostly just having really nice food and sparkling water or kombucha etc, and we don't really need alcohol, after a few hours it gets fun enough anyway! So I recommend everyone, take initiative, and organize something and get people together, it'll be fun! 😊

Great article on increasing solitude of our societies, in this case US but same probably in EU to a lesser extent: "Derek Thompson's essay "You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner" argues that Americans have largely stopped having people over. The headline stat comes from combining the old DDB Needham Life Style surveys Robert Putnam used in *Bowling Alone* with a new replication by Data For Progress. The share of Americans who host friends or family at home at least monthly fell from 42% in 1975 to 12% in 2026, roughly a 70% drop. Most other forms of socializing also fell by double digits over the last 30 years, including cards, bars, sporting events, and volunteering. The decline in hosting was steeper than the much-discussed drop in church attendance. He rules out two comforting explanations. People haven't just moved dinners to restaurants, since solo dining is rising and face-to-face socializing is down overall. They also haven't replaced parties with other social activities. Exercise and travel are up, but exercise is mostly solitary, and time spent at home has jumped sharply since the 2010s. His explanations: 1. Harried dual-earner households. As societies get richer, leisure starts to feel like work, and planning a dinner party is basically unpaid project management. Women historically ran the family social calendar. When they moved into paid work, men didn't take over that job. He admits this can't be the whole story, because total leisure time has actually increased. 2. Intensive parenting. Parents, especially fathers, now spend far more time with their kids, and that time comes out of evenings that used to go to hosting adults. 3. Shrinking friend networks. Close friendships are declining, most sharply among people without college degrees, so hosting is becoming a luxury good. People who never host skew toward independents and non-graduates. He speculates that weaker social ties may lead to weaker party attachment, rather than the other way around. 4. Home is too comfortable. Americans spent almost two extra hours a day at home between 2003 and 2022, much of it on screens and short-form video. His closing idea is a "Lump of Leisure" theory, a twist on the Lump of Labor fallacy. Technology hasn't made human work unnecessary, but it has made other people less necessary for fun. Social leisure turns out to be finite and easy to displace. He frames this as a coordination failure rather than a personal one: a dinner party requires schedules, cleaning, food, allergies, and the risk of a dull evening, while TikTok asks nothing of you. A footnote adds that if everyone gets a bit busier, the difficulty of coordinating a get-together rises multiplicatively, so small increases in individual busyness could produce large drops in socializing overall." https://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-death-of-the-american-host

Okay so here's how it works Automation makes things cheaper, for ex centuries ago most people worked in agriculture, then we automated that and now it's like 1% in developed countries, completely due to automation The same will happen for every industry with AGI, especially once we get humanoid (or other shape) AGI-assisted robots 1kg of tomatoes cost $2.50 today, farmer gets $1.25, shop gets $0.50, wholesaler gets $0.25, logistics is $0.50 Farming will keep getting cheaper with AGI, shopping will move to house delivery only fully automated by delivery robots, no need for a wholesaler anymore, logistics will be fully self driving robots All the costs go lower and lower and then reach close to $0
中文: 好的,这是它的工作原理 自动化使成本更低,就在几个世纪前,大多数人从事农业,然后我们实现了自动化,而现在发达国家的自动化率则完全达到1% 每个拥有AGI的行业都会发生同样的情况,尤其是当我们拥有人形(或其他形状)的AGI辅助机器人时 1公斤西红柿今天售价2.5美元,农民得到1.25美元,商店拿到0.50美元,批发商拿到0.25美元,物流价格是0.50美元 农业将继续降低AGI的成本,购物将转向仅由送货机器人实现完全自动化的送货,不再需要批发商,物流将完全自主驾驶 所有成本都越来越低,然后接近0美元

He's right Gov scared off foreigners so much now by killing NHR, and promising a passport after 5 years here, then changing the rules of the game while playing it! Now it's 10 years since you get your residence permit I have friends waiting 6 years to get residence permit, then add 10 years from that so 16 years for a passport Many foreigners are leaving now to Spain and elsewhere It's disgusting behavior, it's really just a dysfunctional government on every level and it's crazy how they've treated foreigners who pumped millions into their economy The state itself doesn't function, infrastructure doesn't function, I sound like I complain but it's just how it is. Anti business regulation and high and odd taxes make it so that businesses don't want new clients, and service generally sucks and all the skilled people leave Portugal, so you're left with mostly the lowest skilled people People don't like if I'm honest though, they want an either "it's great" or "it's bad" My daily life is great though, Portugal itself is beautiful, we live on the coast, clean air (no industry), have a new house with home gym, sauna, pool, solar, batteries, 100kg of meat, barbeque, our friends live near us It's so hard to explain that because it's not black and white, and it's also culturally dependent. We have some Spanish friends and they seem to be much more okay with the total dysfunction because they're used to Spain The alternatives are Spain where you have the Hacienda (IRS) hunting foreigners for paying their tax, Italy and Greece which I heard are even more dysfunctional So I think we're okay for now, we use Portugal as a base but over half the time we live elsewhere like Brazil or are traveling to Miami etc

He's right, the only good Portuguese food is grilled fish and it's just a fish on a grill with some salt put on Portuguese that stay in Portugal have low standards and they don't have the money to travel far so they're in this vicious cycle where they think their food is great but they don't have anything to compare it with International food is okay to bad here especially in Lisbon due to a shortage of workers so most of the kitchen is Nepalese and usually unskilled There's a few exceptions like Honest Greens but it's by foreigners If Portuguese food was so great, there'd be Portuguese restaurants around the world but it's not and there's not. Just like how there's no Dutch restaurants, it's just not good food
中文: 他说得好,唯一好的葡萄牙菜是烤鱼,而烤肉上只放着一些盐的鱼 留在葡萄牙的葡萄牙人标准很低,而且没有钱去远行,因此他们正处于这种恶性循环中,认为自己的食物很棒,但没有任何可以与之比较的东西 由于工人短缺,国际食品在这里也不错,尤其是在里斯本,因此大部分厨房都是尼泊尔的,而且通常不熟练 有一些例外,比如诚实绿党,但这是由外国人造成的 如果葡萄牙菜吃到这么好吃,世界各地会有葡萄牙餐厅,但那里没有,也没有。就像没有荷兰餐厅一样,这不是好吃的

I've now fully integrated my new site Hotelist into Hoodmaps So now it lets you tap [ 🏨 Hotels ] and you see all available hotels in the area You can hover over them or tap them and it'll show the same hover tooltip you see on Hotelist, and then when you tap again it opens the hotel Nice to find a good area in a city and then book a place there This was a recommendation by AI to try and monetize Hoodmaps, it gets almost 171,000 vistors per month but never made money in almost a decade, so I asked AI It makes sense cause hotels are something aligned with when you're trying to find the best area in a city and it makes money! It only shows when you click [ 🏨 Hotels ] though, so not annoying
中文: 我现在已经将我的新网站Hotelist完全集成到了Hoodmaps中 现在它可让您点击[🏨酒店],并查看该地区所有可预订的酒店 你可以悬停在它们上方或点击它们,它会显示酒店人家看到的相同悬停工具提示,然后当你再次点击时,它便打开了酒店 很高兴在城市里找到一个不错的区域,然后在那里预订一个地方 这是人工智能建议,试图将Hoodmaps实现盈利,每月获得近17.1万名游客,但近十年来从未盈利,因此我问过AI 这很有意义,因为当你试图寻找城市中最好的区域时,酒店就变得一对齐,而且它赚钱! 只有在点击🏨酒店时才会显示,因此不会令人烦恼

RT @stevelacey: Spent lots of time last month getting a CPF, bank, and SIM in Brazil and it's mostly a bureaucratic humiliation ritual for foreigners where every step goes wrong, including steps you never knew existed. Across Asia I can generally land, get a SIM with working data in minutes and maybe even open a bank account within an hour. For years you could get a CPF by email, so you'll find countless people telling you online it's quick and easy. That information is now out of date. Here's the truth as of 2026: You used to be able to get the whole thing done at Banco do Brasil or the Correios for R$7. Now they just charge you to fill out and print a form you can do yourself online for free. Bargain. Either way, you then have to take the form to the Receita Federal (RF). You can't just turn up during opening hours either. You won't even get past the security guard. It took two trips before he finally shared the secret: you need to be there at 8am, an hour before they open, because they only issue 15 CPFs per day. 🤯 So on the third trip I at least knew to turn up early. I was 3rd in line and it still took 2 hours, but I did at least get confirmation my CPF would arrive by email within a week. Hard part over. You'd think. Then came the phone number. I tried to buy a Vivo eSIM online, but to buy a Brazilian phone number from their website you need a Brazilian phone number to sign up. Makes sense, why else would you be wanting to buy a phone number from a telco if you didn't already have one. 🐔🥚 So I figured I'd try going to a store. They tell me they don't sell prepaid SIMs or issue eSIMs, and that I should go buy one at a kiosk. Apple stores also don't sell iPhones anymore I hear. The kiosk sells physical SIMs. Fine. I'll activate it in my old phone, convert it to eSIM and move it to my real phone. I am sure that'll all go smoothly. I figured activation would work at least. Nope. I text my CPF to the activation number and they say it's invalid. Awesome. Of course it is. Why would that work. 🤪 The store can't activate it either. Apparently it can take ~3 months for a new CPF to propagate through their systems and I need to “use it in other systems” in the meantime, like the supermarket. Five hours of online support later (they do let you AFK at least 🙃), they finally activate the SIM using a photo of my passport next to my CPF on my phone. Except because it was activated with my passport, not my CPF, I can't convert it to eSIM or use their app, and they text me every few days threatening to deactivate my line. Wonderful. Then they tell me the SIM can't even receive SMS until I top it up. Makes sense, why make it work like other telcos when you can add random extra steps. So I try to top it up, but their website requires SMS verification to do that, and my phone can't even receive that SMS. One must already have credit to acquire credit. Nice. So I top it up through Ding instead. Why not, we've come this far. I'd have used my Brazil bank but of course I can't get one of those until the number works. Now I finally have a working Brazilian SIM with data, but only in my old phone, and every few days they text me that my CPF is invalid and they're going to deactivate my line. Done? Done. Next the bank. I discover that most banks won't let a foreigner open an account with just a CPF anymore. My friends have all kinds of accounts that you can no longer obtain. You now need additional Brazilian ID that generally only residents and long-term visa holders can obtain. I did eventually manage to open a C6 account and get PIX working, but that account is tied to the same phone number that may randomly self-immolate. So after a week I have a CPF that some systems recognize and some don't, a bank account tied to that number, and a SIM card I can't put in my actual phone. At least I can finally pay for my own Mate 😂🍹 Welcome to Brazil 🇧🇷

📡 Kinda anecdotal but I now have 2 friends with @Starlink (and so 3 if you include me) I loaned my Starlink Mini to @mick__net after his 🇵🇹 Portuguese ISP @NOS was (and still is!) down for 2+ months, while he lives 500 meters away from the NOS headquarters in Lisbon 😂 Nobody can fix it, customer support is useless and even cancelling his plan is difficult Anyway Starlink Mini got him his internet back immediately and saved his ass cause he had to work, and now he ordered his own and gave mine back, which I then used for traveling in Greece, and he's a Starlink convert Now today my other friend @cso_notes also got one in 🇷🇴 Romania! Adoption in Europe always comes a bit later than in US, but I think Starlink is starting to get a significant presence now Many people who I tell about Starlink are still skeptical about satellite internet, they always talk about latency issues, and they think latency is like 1 second but it's more like 10ms (1/100th of a second) which is the same or better than regular fiber internet I've never had so LITTLE issues with internet as since I had Starlink, it's never been down, it always just works and customer support is via chat and works really well I absolutely HATE having to call a phone number and be on hold for 30min or more and then wasting most of my day on stuff like this, which par for the course with Portuguese ISPs (and well every Portuguese business) So having Starlink is a godsend for me, it just works! 🙏

My clanker has an explanation for it though: "The Latin + Southern Europe cluster (Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Belgium's French side): these are high-context, relationship-driven cultures where sharing your hustle, dropping a WhatsApp contact, or pitching your project in a group chat is normal social behavior, not rudeness. " "The Baltics (Lithuania, Estonia): tiny samples, but both punch far above their weight in IT freelancing, affiliate marketing, and crypto per capita. People who market services for a living market them in chat too." "The clean East Asia column (Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan): cultures with strong norms against imposing on strangers and against overt self-promotion, plus a heavy lurker tendency in online communities. Fewer messages, more reticent messages, fewer warnings."
中文: 不过,我的叮当声对此有解释: 拉丁与南欧集群(阿根廷、哥伦比亚、巴西、西班牙、意大利、比利时的法国方面):这些是高背景、以关系为导向的文化,在这些文化中,分享你的喧嚣、放弃与WhatsApp的联系,或在群聊中推销你的项目,都是正常的社交行为,而不是无礼。 波罗的海地区(立陶宛,爱沙尼亚):样本微小,但均在IT自由职业、联盟营销和人均加密货币领域表现极高。为以生活为生而营销服务的人也会在聊天中推销他们。 东南亚的干净专栏(香港、日本、韩国、台湾):文化有强烈的规范,反对对陌生人强加、反对公开的自我宣传,再加上网络社区中的强烈倾向。消息更少,消息更质,警告更少。

This is an extremely interesting point by @BenBracquene If you track Google trends for "filing a police report" in Dutch in the Netherlands You see an extreme rise from about 2018 to peaking now in 2026 Then why do the official numbers show a continuous drop in crime? Because police doesn't let you file a report anymore for basic crime and people know police won't solve crime so they don't even try to file a police report Big if true

💰 Passed $10M/y in revenue + investment gains this year I've always been aggressively increasing my profit margins to as high as possible, especially the last few years, and especially this year where I've reduced my SaaS dependencies to just a handful of companies by vibecoding my own replacements It's now about 94.5% profit! Spend less -> lower costs -> more profit -> more money saved -> more money to invest -> more % returns on investments And at some point that investment return starts to pass by your business revenue which it has for me for about a year now Most of my investments have been simple ETFs like Vanguard S&P500, but also a few lucky stock and startup bets that worked out: Back in 2022, I couldn't get any available GPUs, so I thought it might be smart to buy Nvidia if there's such a shortage and that was a good bet too Then back in 2023 @dannypostma recommended me to invest in the companies we used for our AI inference for our photo AI apps, so I did that too. First I invested in @replicate and then also @FAL From then I just asked every app/service I used if I could invest, like @cursor_ai in 2025 which then got acquired by @spacex recently!

💰 Passed $10M/y in revenue + investment gains this year I've always been aggressively increasing my profit margins to as high as possible, especially the last few years, and especially this year where I've reduced my SaaS dependencies to just a handful of companies by vibecoding my own replacements It's now about 94.5% profit! Spend less -> lower costs -> more profit -> more money saved -> more money to invest -> more % returns on investments And at some point that investment return starts to pass by your business revenue which it has for me for about a year now Most of my investments have been simple ETFs like Vanguard S&P500, but also a few lucky stock and startup bets that worked out: Back in 2022, I couldn't get any available GPUs, so I thought it might be smart to buy Nvidia if there's such a shortage and that was a good bet too Then back in 2023 @dannypostma recommended me to invest in the companies we used for our AI inference for our photo AI apps, so I did that too. First I invested in @replicate and then also @FAL From then I just asked every app/service I used if I could invest, like @cursor_ai in 2025 which then got acquired by @spacex recently! My business revenue has remained very stable at about $200K-$250K/mo, but even with that investment returns have now surpassed that Investments fluctuate a lot so some years it's up some years it might be down a lot (who isn't expecting a big crash at some point?), and most investment gains are unrealized (I never sell!), so keep that with a big grain of salt!

✅ Okay the new Nomads travel profile globe is live and done :D I had to replace a globe in legacy code that was made over a decade ago with a new one I tried to make it look as similar as possible, so people don't realize it changed or won't have much difficulty switching Anyway unlike the old globe, the new globe is true 3D, and it has a photorealistic mode where it fits in space and everything is as accurate as possible: - ✨ The stars - 🌎 Earth's position and day/night - ☁️ Live clouds from NASA (and they move a bit) - 🌗 The moon is in the right place too - 🛰️ There's spaceships like @SpaceX Crew Dragon which you can add as a future trip (use "Space Orbit" as destination) - Also 🔴 Mars is there! I tried to recreate the recent @NASA Artemis mission to behind the Moon with the "Earthrise" Some people think these kinds of features are for no reason, I personally love them, they make my site personal and fun and not like all the other corporate ones!!! 😊
中文: ✅ 好的,新的“游牧者》旅行简介地球仪已实时完成 :D 我不得不用一个十多年前制作的旧代码来替代一个全球 我试图让它看起来尽可能相似,这样人们就不会意识到它变了,或者切换时不会有太大困难 与旧地球不同,新地球是真正的3D,它具有逼真的模式,适合在太空中,一切尽在可能的准确性上: - ✨ 星星 - 🌎 地球的位置与昼夜 - 美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的实时云(它们移动了一些) - 🌗 月亮也在正确的位置 - 🛰️ 有像 @SpaceX Crew Dragon 这样的宇宙飞船,你可以作为未来的行程添加(使用“太空轨道”作为目的地) - 火星也在那里! 我试图重现最近与“地球崛起”一起在月球后进行的@NASA阿耳忒弥斯任务 有些人认为这类功能是无缘无故的,我个人很喜欢,它们让我的网站变得个性化且有趣,而且不像其他所有企业一样!😊

My favorite airlines are low cost ones like Easyjet, Air Asia, Transavia (and Ryanair if they'd not fly with 737MAX) and premium ones like Qatar The entire middle section is the one I try stay away from and where everything is expensive but usually sucks Usually there you have national flag carriers like KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa or Swiss which have very mediocre service for a high price With low cost airlines you don't pay a lot, but you get a basic functional no frills service, and because it's so high volume (Ryanair for example does the most flights out of any airline in Europe!), they have their workflow dialed in well With premium airlines like Qatar you pay a lot, but you get a very premium consistent service

RT @denisyurchak: Yerevan 🇦🇲 is the only place in the world where you can get a European lifestyle, Middle Eastern taxes, and South-East Asian prices Over the past 2 years I’ve spent 2 months in Yerevan I came as a tourist first and then couldn’t help but return here again and again Yerevan has a lot of monies and the city is missing in a lot of respects The public transport is nonexistent, the traffic is crazy, the number of bike roads is 0 It’s a terrible city if you are a 50+ yo who wants quiet European life But it is perfect if you are young and building a biz The city has a Christian European culture and virtually 0 crime - I accidentally left the car open with engine running yesterday for an hour in front of the restaurant. When I came back both the car and my backpack inside were intact - imagine the same in Paris or London! Yerevan is full of amazing coffee shops where you can drink good coffee, work and meet other expats Most locals speak English. If you speak Russian you will do very good, if you speak a bit of Armenian you will get discounts and gifts at most places Yerevan is well connected with Europe - my flight from Slovakia cost just €30 with Wizzair, same for Vienna last year And the main pro for me - Yerevan feels like an adult playground The prices are so low that stuff feels basically free if you earn in a European/US tech hub. You get a MUCH better quality of services than anywhere in the US or Europe The tax rate for individual properietors is 1% - set up a US LLC for stripe, and IP in Armenia in one day and you are set. Crypto dudes in Dubai pay x4 European prices for goods and services to get the same tax regime, you will pay less than half of them. You won’t ever need a car - a 30 minute taxi ride costs under 4 bucks here, and the whole city center is very walkable. Armenia is the only democracy in the Caucasus and if they play their cards right, I’m sure they are gonna reach at least the Polish level of income soon - I’m very bullish on it So now is very good time to come and visit here while Armenia is still cheap and low tax!

I believe nation states will keep becoming less and less relevant and that in the future everyone will be a nomad Most nation states (and well governments) barely function anymore through 100+ years of democratic baggage from laws and regulation that can't be reversed People can't save their countries or governments anymore through people's initiatives or getting into politics, because the systems are so old and in full gridlock Globalism has deservedly gotten a really bad rep the last 5 years though as we were too naive about it, but I think we should keep the good parts from it We should not take our identity from or defer our individual power to nation states ran by a political mafia class that's just perpetual robbing us and has no intention (or ability!) to actually improve society Nation states are a relatively new invention and barely 150 years old, before we had empires, kingdoms, smaller city states (kinda like municipalities) and tribes or local communities Over the years I've been increasingly red-pilled by @oskarth that nation states simply do not work and you need smaller sizes of government for things to work efficiently. Once it gets too big you get too much regulation and Kafka-esque bureaucracy and you end up with gridlock Which is Europe's entire problem right now! There's some exceptions, US and China seem to operate at large scale and are doing relatively well considering their size Anyway to get back to my point, I think it's preferable people think of themselves as global citizens, because it gives them stronger negotiation power in relation to nation states and governments as they're able to pack up and leave to where they're treated better And having people be mobile then also incentivizes other nation states (or smaller types of governance) to compete with them to attract the best people, and in response the other states will improve to attract people back Now with geopolitical tensions (like the stuff about Russia and Europe this week), it shows even more the benefit to be able to pack your bag and leave to a better place quickly is an extreme benefit now and in the future, possibly even for survival

RT @nico_jeannen: Doing "tiny SaaS" and Mobile apps rn is like trying to do Print on Demand / Dropshipping in 2019 The barrier to entry have been destroyed, anyone with 2 neurons can pickup Codex to do the same now The indie hacker playbook doesn't works anymore, you can't just solve one tiny problem, build in public and do SEO and hope it will be a business IMO. It worked in 2013-2023 but not anymore If something is as easy as vibe coding something in a few hours, chances are your customers probably already do it And shitting 30 AI-generated blog posts isn't distribution, it will just be an extra turd swimming in the sea of slop that already exists out there I also see lots of ppl who think "building an audience" is a moat etc. So, yes but clowning on X is not building an audience, unless you plan on doing it full time and monetizing it via sponsors like what we've saw recently. But then it's a totally different business AND is just as hard because everyone want to do exactly the same and be famous, so you need to post INTERESTING STUFF 5-10x day if you want to have a chance So you can't just make the same kind of content, videos etc as everyone else is doing rn, you need to find interesting and unique stuff, which is hard. By definition business is hard. Don't trust ppl who say it's easy and fast. People pay you to solve problem they can't solve. If something suddenly becomes easy, it's means it's also easy for everyone else = it's less valuable There is no secret roadmap, there is no money glitch, it's supposed to be hard and sometimes sucks. Customers don't pay you to have fun and enjoying life traveling in Asia, they pay u to get their problem solved better, faster or cheaper. But by all mean if you enjoy doing tiny mobile apps, building in public and posting silly pics on X, have fun! But it's not a business, it's a hobby IMO the best thing to do rn is to go out of the bubble and talk with people, to find problems worth solving. Especially in old/boring industries. Cause lots of ppl won't do it simply cause it's not sexy or interesting and won't make lots of views on social media, which is good, it means less noise! IMO you don't need to know the industry perfectly as long as you're curious AND talk with users on calls etc. to get feedback Just my opinion tho

RT @nikitabier: I recently got a dog and I quickly learned that a puppy needs to be taken out every hour to pee for up to 6 months. Otherwise, it won’t ever be trained. I found a moisture sensor that sounds an alarm that could train the dog—but it was a tiny strip that didn’t cover much floor space. So I asked AI to find the engineer who built it, it reached out to him, he shared his supplier in China and sent the original order documents, then the bot drafted the larger version along with a CAD model and it’s getting manufactured now. Software problems are solved. Atom [and dog] problems are next.
中文: RT @nikitabier:我最近养了一只狗,很快就知道需要每隔一小时就把一只小狗带出去撒尿长达六个月。否则,它将永远不会被训练。 我发现了一个吸湿传感器,它发出警报,可以训练狗——但那是一条细小的带子,遮盖了太多地面空间。 于是我让人工智能找到了制造它的工程师,它联系了他,他分享了供应商在中国的订单文件,然后机器人起草了更大的版本以及CAD模型,现在它正在生产。 软件问题已经解决。 下一个是原子和狗的问题。

🇪🇺 Great data and actually I think we should use this kinds of data to completely turn around Europe's immigration policy: - We should have super easy inflow for immigrants from countries whose previous immigrants have shown low crime rates You're from Japan? Just fly here and you can stay forever - We should then almost completely ban any inflow from countries whose previous immigrants have shown high crime rates with instant deportations You're on the top of that list? You're not coming in, sorry. We have to keep Europeans safe first! Then you can add special exceptions for people in those worst rated countries for high quality talent, think AI engineers, neurosurgeons, high IQ people, with no crime records. But that process will take a little bit longer than just flying into Europe Then every year you check the data and you adjust the policy based on last 5 or 10 years of criminal history of immigrants from those places I think this is the most common sense policy and it'll make Europe much safer

This week I realized rice, grains, seeds and potatoes all used to be peasant foods And the kings actually just ate a lot of fresh meat like beef, venison, wild boar, swan, and peacock, and imported fruits and spices like saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper A king's diet was high in protein A peasant's diet was low in protein So the question becomes, do you want to eat like a king or a peasant?

Adding 20g of chocolate adds 130 calories and actually 2g of protein :D too, so I don't add chocolate every day Skyr is #3 on my calorie tracker leaderboard in highest protein density food (only after tuna which is dodgy regarding toxins) and just above chicken breast (which is just too dry and tasteless for me to eat), so Skyr it is! https://caltrack.levels.io/foods.php

RT @DavidSacks: Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.
中文: RT @DavidSacks:达里奥曾写道,我们需要“在前沿上踱步”,而萨姆已表示同意。人们可能会惊讶于我的回答:继续吧。 你们是边疆。按任何合理指标衡量——市场份额、收入增长、模型能力——你们两人在前沿智能方面拥有双头垄断地位。你还声称,由于递归性自我提升,铅的改善正在扩大。 我看不出你在实验室里看到了什么。如果未发布的型号足够吓人,以至于你认为应该放慢速度,我支持你承担责任的决定。 但别假装你需要别人的许可。停止假装反垄断法必须被暂停,以便你能够组建一个卡特尔。不要假装需要一个取代产品责任的监管审批流程。停止假装美税(METR)与安斯罗皮奇的投资者和员工相互交织时是独立的。不要假装需要那些同样的评估人员来监管那些甚至不在边境的竞争对手。 最重要的是,别以为是假装放慢节奏的动机纯粹是利他主义的。如果产品能够发生真正有害的网络攻击,您将面临巨大的产品责任风险。市场已经惩罚了那些以不可预测或未经授权方式行事的模特。在《拥抱面子》一集之后,OpenAI和Anthropic将一些原始动力用于可靠性和可预测性,这简直是一行不变。如果你愿意,就称之为对齐。也只是给客户他们想要的东西。 与伯尼·桑德斯“闭嘴”相比,要为更明智地讨论监管,也将为前沿创造喘息空间。众所周知,中国不太可能加入一项全球性协议,这一点也必须加以考虑。 继续前进,加快边疆的步伐。你就是设定它的人。建立超级智能最简单的方法就是同意不进行构建。要求你选择的监管框架作为代价,将看起来像是对公众和政治体制的讹诈。所以就去做。 如果你这样做,就会为下一次对话购买善意。如果你不这样做,我们就知道这只是又一次试图获取监管措施——或者是竞选季的季后赛。

RT @dvassallo: Yesterday I did a proactive whole-body MRI at @prenuvo for early cancer screening and other diseases. Luckily no worrisome or high risk findings. I had a few minor findings (common and benign things), and the explanation and reassurance was very well done in the report. The MRI even detected a lingering sinus infection I've had for the past 4 weeks! The images you get of your body are incredible too. It can't possibly hurt (except the pocket; it's $2,500) to do these regularly and monitor changes over time. Their MRI setup is quite nice too. They are a bit more spacious than the ones I've seen at hospitals, but most importantly they put special glasses on you with a 45° mirror that lets you watch a movie projected behind you. (You choose the movie/show.) Makes a huge difference for claustrophobia because the space feels much bigger when looking through the mirror. It's also nice you can see a clock in the screen, so you know approximately how much time you have remaining inside the magnet. Overall, impressed.
中文: RT @dvassallo:昨天我在@prenuvo进行了主动全身MRI检查,用于早期癌症筛查和其他疾病。幸运的是,没有令人担忧或高风险的发现。我有一些细微的发现(常见且无害的),报告中的解释和安慰也做得非常充分。核磁共振检查甚至检测出我过去4周来一直存在的鼻窦感染!你身上的画面也令人难以置信。定期进行这些并监控变化,不可能(除了口袋;价格是2500美元)。 他们的磁共振成像装置也相当不错。它们比我在医院见过的要宽敞一些,但最重要的是,他们戴着一副45°眼镜的眼镜,让你可以在后面看电影。(你选择电影/节目。)对幽闭恐惧症来说,这带来了巨大的影响,因为透过镜子看时,空间感觉更大。在屏幕上看到时钟也很好,因此你大致知道磁铁内还剩下多少时间。 总体来说,印象深刻。

RT @afonsolfm: For the past 3 weeks, I've been travelling around Poland. I started in Krakow, then went to Wroclaw, and now I'm in Warsaw. I'm completely amazed by how clean, organised and polished all these cities feel. You don't see crazy people on the streets, people behaving strangely like you do in Spain or Italy, for example, or trash on the ground. I cannot emphasise enough how clean everything looks. It's like being in Singapore or Japan. Travelling between cities is also a very pleasant experience. The trains are very comfortable (and again, clean), and they have restaurants on board that actually serve amazing, affordable Polish food! In Warsaw particularly, everybody is very well dressed, and walking around the city centre feels like such an elevated experience. It's crazy that Poland's GDP per capita has more than tripled in dollar terms over the past 20 years. I think people back home still see Poland as a very poor country, but that view is completely outdated now. In Krakow, I also met Italian girls who said they felt so safe walking around. I mentioned I was going to visit Bologna soon, and they joked that I'd only see Pakistani people. Poland has had a huge influx of Ukrainian immigration, and you notice it in Ubers, cafés, bars, etc. But because the culture and religion are similar, it doesn't feel like a big cultural contrast. Well, coming from Portugal, I find people here slightly blunter and ruder, but again, all of this is relative (Brazilians think we're rude, for example), so I suppose you just get used to it. The public transport works flawlessly, and the trains and buses are impeccably clean. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems Polish people have a stronger sense of civic responsibility when it comes to cleanliness than southern Europeans? Judging by the cities I've visited so far, this does feel like what you'd imagine when somebody says “Europe”. It's super refreshing to be here. I think locals probably take it for granted by now.

I think for Samsung and LG it's a competitive race to the bottom TVs in Korea are more expensive to produce than in China, but somehow they have to try survive So their idea (well Samsung started it) was to try make money in other ways, like putting ads in their TVs, then the advertisers asked for better targeting so they needed data, so they started tracking what you watch and listening to what you say at home with the microphone and sending it back to their servers It's a race to the bottom and this is stuff you actually DO need regulation for to stop it because they're all competing so without regulation this won't stop because people will just buy the cheaper TV I think

✨ Okay with lots of help from @javilopen and his Spanish scraping friends I've managed to vibe code my own @Scrapingbee alternative and replace my $249/mo Scrapingbee plan with my own $1/mo scraper running on my VPS! First I tried OpenSERP, an open source project that seems freshly maintained but it didn't work on my VPS IP or laptop IP and got blocked fast Then I tried to use residential IP proxies from IPRoyal but they were already quite tainted IPs meaning Google already knew they were scrapers and just blocked about 60% of them already, not so great, also didn't work! Then I discovered OpenSERP uses a vanilla headless Chrome, Google instantly detects that and blocks that, so literally the entire repo is useless cause it won't even work? I don't get why they don't say that in the docs? OpenSERP is even worse than just basic CURL, as my AI said: "plain curl got 7% blocked but OpenSERP's headless browser got 100% blocked" So then I just built my own with Playwright and a real Google Chrome on my VPS, headful and persistent context, and slow pacing like every 30 seconds or so And I got some better residential IP recommendations (which I can't tell you because thenhey t stop working!) Now I'm at about 90% success rate, which is similar or better than Scrapingbee And it costs me ~$1/mo (measured by GBs, obviously for text scraping I barely use a lot) instead of the $249/mo I paid Scrapingbee! My only remaining SaaS now are: - Cloudflare Domains - Cloudflare Email Sending - Cloudflare R2 Storage - Backblaze B2 for backups - Hetzner for all my servers for all my sites (VPS) - xAI for all LLMs for all my sites (so many things like moderation, writing emails, anything)

RT @yongfook: Just spent a week in Okinawa and it’s easy to see why they live so long. Bitter gourd and sea grapes are ubiquitous, you eat them every day. Nutrient dense and low calorie. Beef and pork are both high quality, Okinawa is famous for Ishigaki and Motobu wagyu and Agu pork. The pork in particular was the best I’ve had. Like the rest of Japan, meals are balanced. Modest carbs, fermented vegetables, soup. Even my hotel breakfast was the healthiest I’ve had at a hotel in a long time. That plus the fairly laid back lifestyle compared to mainland Japan, with beautiful beaches, no heavy traffic, warm weather all year round. Could see myself living here.

You can make $5K/mo and be able to quit your 9 to 5 job and have a better life But you can also go big and even raise VC later to go really big later like $ billions Anyway it's great to keep the snowball rolling and get more people to try!

RT @aporia9n: That's what being a post-money founder looks like. You stop optimising for money but instead focus on scale / relevance / cultural influence (and maybe eventually status/power). And weirdly that can make the underlying thing much bigger. Cause you become your own VC, making asymmetric bets with your accumulated capital: you can kill the paywall, maximise network growth and figure monetisation out later. The big advantage of succeeding with cash-generative businesses (like Peter did) is eventually having enough money to make those venture-style bets yourself, while still keeping 100% of the company (no dilution, no external investors, all the upside still yours if it works). IMO that's one of the most underrated things money buys ambitious founders. Not retirement, but the ability to build things that don't need to make money immediately.
中文: RT @aporia9n:这就是后钱创始人的样子。 你不再为金钱而优化,而是专注于规模、相关性/文化影响(以及最终可能的地位/权力)。 奇怪的是,这会使底层事物变得更大。因为你成为自己的风险投资者,用累积的资本进行非对称的赌注:你可以扼杀付费墙,最大化网络增长,并在以后实现货币化。 成功从事现金生成型企业(如彼得所做的那样)的一大优势,就是最终拥有足够的资金来独自进行类似风险的押注,同时仍保持公司100%的收益(不稀释,没有外部投资者,如果一切成功,所有好处仍然由你做。) IMO 是金钱购买的最具雄心的创始人最被低估的东西之一。不是退休,而是能够创造那些不需要立即赚钱的东西。

🎒After a decade, I have made https://nomads.com/ free for everyone now! Well almost free, it's $1 to sign up to avoid getting lots of spam The reason is 1) I have made enough money (from it) 2) charging for a community artificially limits the size, if you put the price at $299 you get 50 new members per month, at $99 you get 200 people, at $29 you get 400 people, etc. And this always annoyed me, I don't want to put a limit but I had to, to be able to make money from it, so it's free now I want it to be it the biggest community for digital nomads, world travelers, sovereign thinkers and network state type people For years it has has a great sponsor with @SafetyWing and I think that's maybe a better model for the future, get much more people in and then just add more sponsors Right now for the record it has 43,252 paid members (so about 300/mo for 12 years!), so it will be interesting to see what it can grow too I think now that AGI is on the horizon (or some say already here), online and offline (IRL) communities will become really important. People are talking more to AI now than to humans, and there was already a loneliness epidemic before AI Making new friends and dating is not so easy for people now. And with remote work and entrepreneurship, people lack a space like an office where people would usually make friends or meet partners I made most of the friends I have now through traveling and living around the world for the last 10+ years (and many via my site too), and I also met my girlfriend through those friends! So I think communities can have a real role in that post-AGI Post-AGI business wise, communities also have a moat where many of my SaaS apps do not. So there is some urgency I feel to make Nomads in to the best community there is for those people. But that's why I have to remove any limitations to its growth now So in a way after 12 years I am switching to the subsidized VC model a bit, but still 100% bootstrapped, kinda like "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" Having enough money now I can afford to do these things and figure out the business model later, which I think will be more sponsors Enjoy and please sign up and tell me what to improve!!! 😊

100% accurate Portugal could have been the Silicon Valley of Europe, they had all the tech founders from US visiting ~2020 as tourists, then as potential residents who could move their businesses to Portugal or open branch offices here and apply to the NHR program (which was a great idea) The wealth that would flow into the country and the jobs created would be massive and their GDP could have more than tripled over 10 years Portugal's GDP per capita would have been $100,000/year now, and Portuguese would be rich and high tech But instead Portugal collectively decided they wanted to remain relatively poor and technologically and intellectually behind Portugal's choice is cultural though and completely fits the general spirit in Europe which is fully anti-tech, anti-AI, anti-entrepreneurship, anti-business and anti-progress The biggest fumble in Portugal's history after losing Brazil I think
中文: 100% 准确 葡萄牙本可以是欧洲的硅谷,他们曾让所有来自美国的科技创始人以游客的身份访问2020年,之后作为潜在居民,可以将自己的企业迁至葡萄牙,或在此开设分支机构,并申请国家人权中心(NHR)项目(这是个好主意) 流入该国并将创造大量就业机会,其GDP可能在十年内增长两倍多 葡萄牙的人均GDP现在为每年10万美元,而葡萄牙人将是富裕且高科技的 但葡萄牙共同决定,他们希望保持相对贫困,并在技术和智力上落后 葡萄牙的选择虽具有文化精神,完全符合欧洲普遍的精神,即完全反科技、反人工智能、反创业、反商业和反进步 我认为,在失去巴西之后,葡萄牙历史上最大的一次失误

RT @denisyurchak: I met a guy who makes €50,000 from a train restaurant in Poland 🇵🇱 Long-distance Polish trains have a restaurant car called WARS. Rankings often put it at the top of the world's train food services – unlike other companies that just warm food up, WARS cooks national Polish dishes like pierogi, schabowy kotlet, and pancakes fresh I traveled on one of those trains last week and was amazed at how tasty the food is – I ordered two portions of pancakes in a row, and had to turn off my calorie counter 😅 I said to the guy at the bar that I really liked the food, we talked a bit, and he turned out to be the owner of that restaurant car I was surprised to find out that WARS trains operate like Polish Żabka or 7/11 – it's a huge franchise network where business owners rent 1 or 2 wagons and operate them like their own business The parent company still controls the menu and the look of the restaurant, but they get an owner attitude and A LOT of motivation to make money from the franchisees This business is also quite profitable – in the summer season you can get up to €10,000 in profits after taxes from just 2 cars In the X bubble, it's easy to forget how many ways there are to make money outside of tech, and stories like this keep my belief in capitalism and human creativity high!

True I think you have the real economic effects of AI companies sucking up entire industries now (a lot where indie hackers operate) I do think the SaaSpocalypse is at least partly real So indie hackers are pivoting toward content, audience and distribution to find some moat, essentially becoming influencers That translates into more flash in the pan type apps and it will feel more superficial But that's just indie hackers responding to market economics, they're trying to survive and maneuver, and you can't really blame them if you see the forces they're up against (trillions of dollars of BigTech and BigAI companies disrupting their markets! Which is good btw) A regular boring but non-superficial SaaS app would do well 5 years ago but now it might not get anyone to sign up because it's so easy to vibe code by tens of thousands of other people So the distinguishing element becomes personality kinda!

RT @s8mb: Throwing rubbish in a landfill is (usually) better for the environment than recycling it. With few exceptions, recycling ends up emitting more CO2 and costing more money, while landfills are cheap and secure. - Recycling mid-tier plastics (like plastic bottles or butter tubs) costs thousands of dollars per ton of CO2 saved. It's cheaper to do direct air CO2 capture than that! And there is no shortage of plastic, nor any problem with sequestering it in the ground once we're done with it. - Modern landfills are extraordinarily secure and are *much* more than just big piles of trash. They capture 75%–95% of methane gas. Groundwater contamination is doesn't really happen with landfills built since 1990. A study of 31 landfills built since 1988 in NY found no adverse effect at all on local groundwater quality. - The crusade against single-use plastics has driven us to products that use far more materials and energy and would need to be used an absurd number of times to actually be an improvement. A steel straw needs to be used 150 times to be worth using. A ceramic mug needs to be used 1,000 times to beat a polystyrene cup. A cotton bag needs to be reused 173 times to beat single-use. - Some things ARE worth recycling. Recycling metal saves a huge amount of energy and material – recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy spent on making fresh stuff. So we do a lot of it already: about 30% of steel worldwide is recycled. Modern, well-run landfills cause minimal environmental damage. We have plenty of space for them – less than 0.01% of the US is used for landfill and only about 0.02% of Germany. We can even build on top of old landfills, so the land area is not spent permanently.

My favorite part of @Cloudflare is how easy it is to use them for your clanker They always had a great API and all you have to do is add an API token and you can do almost everything you'd do by hand My favorite is registering domain names fully with Claude Code Get off Namecheap already, they don't let you do this (they'll hand you a link to buy instead) @marckohlbrugge was the first to tell me to use the API to manage CF btw

After [ 💰 Income mode ] I thought what if we can collect live violent crime data and show that per neighorhood too? [ 🥷 Crime mode ] https://hoodmaps.com/new-york-city-neighborhood-map?mode=crime Before AI it'd be too much hassle finding all these data sets, normalizing them, and keeping them up to date, especially for 1000+ cities! But with AI it's quite do-able I started first with New York City, it gives you an instant glimpse where crime is concentrated and where not, and of course it's tied to social development and income too Now I'll try add all other US cities and then do EU and rest of world! As always, data should be free, available for the people to see in an easy way (which now it's absolutely not) Because to solve problems in a city, you first need to know where those problems are, so I hope Hoodmaps can help with that a bit!

The continuation limitation: "Here's the chain of reasoning: 1. The dependency serializes everything (the big one). Right now 4 worker threads generate 4 different clips at the same time, because text-to-video needs nothing from any other clip — they're independent. Frame-chaining creates a hard dependency: clip N+1's input (its start frame) is clip N's output (its last frame). So you literally cannot begin generating N+1 until N has fully finished — generated on fal, downloaded, and its final frame extracted. That collapses 4-wide parallel generation down to 1-at-a-time. At ~15–40s per clip, serial gets you ~1.5–4 clips/min, but the channel airs 6/min — so the buffer would constantly starve and you'd see mostly reruns. You'd be trading the whole channel's liveness for smooth transitions. 2. Live + chat-driven means the "next" clip doesn't exist yet. Frame-chaining is natural for a pre-planned sequence (a VOD you're rendering ahead of time). But at the live edge, the next clip's content is decided by a chat message that hasn't arrived yet. You can't pre-chain toward a future you haven't been told about. 3. It fights the "one message = one clip" design. Each clip is supposed to be a viewer's fresh idea, pure. If you seed from the previous frame, "a dog news anchor" is forced to start from the last scene — so it becomes "banana slowly morphing into a dog news anchor." The meme visually bleeds into unrelated requests, which is the opposite of what one-message-one-clip is for. 4. Ordering assumptions break. VIP queue-jumping and newest-first picking assume clips are independent and reorderable. A frame-chain imposes a strict A→B→C order, so you can't cut levelsio's clip to the front or drop a fresh chat clip in — the chain would break. 5. Failure cascades. In parallel mode, one clip failing on fal doesn't affect the others. In a chain, if clip N fails, N+1 has no start frame and the whole sequence stalls. The reason I suggested it'd work only for story continuations is that those dodge every problem above: they already run one-at-a-time, only during quiet chat (no competing demand, so serialization costs nothing), they're meant to continue the same scene (so the visual carryover is a feature, not a conflict), and there's no VIP/fresh-clip to reorder around. That's the one place the seams line up. Everywhere else, the transitions would cost you the live, parallel, crowd-steered nature that makes the channel what it is. "

37,000 people watched Infinite Slop yesterday! So I consider it a success and I registered a domain name for it: 🫟 https://infiniteslop.ai/ Let me know if you have ideas how to improve, I thought maybe make the chat full height and move the video more left (like Twitch?) but also it looks cool like this? Only 4 videos per minute can be generated (4x 15 seconds = 1 minute), so that's kind of a limitation, not everyone gets their video generated if it gets busy Some people say "let people pay $$$ to bid on it" but that's less fun, I like kinda how 4chan-ey/Hoodmaps-ey it is now Also some people said I should connect the new video with the previous video by using its last frame, that's possible but it causes a technical challenge where you have to generate SO fast without ANY slowdowns (and sometimes there is slowdowns in generating) to get a perfect sequence going, but maybe I can do it in a slightly imperfect manner Watching this is oddly scarily addictive, and of course dystopian, but it's interesting to try these experiments early and see where it goes Thanks @rehan_shei + @marcantoinefon for the idea and @fal for VERY generously sponsoring and making this possible!

Nice to see people liking this!

That'd mean social programs (like cities do now), but also enforcing clean and liveable streets (like many cities don't do now) for their tax payers This used to be a problem you'd only see in Los Angeles, San Francisco and places like Brazil. Now it's all over Europe too. We're in a down cycle of cities with more junkies and homeless in many cities worldwide, and people feeling less safe, kinda like the 1970s and 1980s! So I hope Hoodmaps helps improve cities with data!

You can get it from eating infected meat (but it's very rare), or prions can flip in your body randomly and cause it, or you can have surgery and one of the surgery tools can have it on them from previous patients The issue with that from what I read is that it's close to impossible to wash off, and it won't die at extreme heats either, you just have to throw away all surgery tools (which you can't) 85% of Creutzfeldt–Jakob is a randomly flipping prion though, so that's most probably Anyway, Lito here can participate in a promising trial by @Harvard @broadinstitute @ionispharma @mayoclinic but the next batch is only in October, so he's hoping the internet (like this tweet) can help him get in earlier, so he has a chance And that trial hopefully helps us find a cure for this crazy disease So if you can spread this, do so!

When buying interior for our house we discovered most sofas, chairs, rugs, carpets, curtains now use materials that are almost without exception fully plastic And of course they shed all this plastic in their lifetime that they sit in your house, and you just end up breathing in nanoplastics over 10-20 years It's very hard to find stuff with natural materials, these days and if you do find it, it's super super expensive Also most times the sales people look at you like you're high when you ask for it But sir this is "ultrasuede alcantra olefin", all those terms are bullshit, and it's all plastic Unless they say cotton, wool, linen, silk, cork, or actual natural latex, it's generally just plastic and you'll be breathing it in (or worse) They often use fancy names to cover up it's all plastic: - "vegan leather" that's literally just polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic - "leatherette/pleather" same PVC - "air leather" perforated PU - "bonded leather" leather scraps glued together with PU - "alcantra" luxury sofas use this and guess what: it's polyester and PU blended - "ultrasuede" synthetic microfiber plastic - "olefin" stain resistant polypropylene (PP) plastic - "polyamide" a mesh of synthetic polymers - "lustrous" or "trevia cs", both used in curtains, both fully polyester For our house we mostly have cotton, wool and leather finishes and it wasn't easy to get that, most is custom finishing because almost nobody asks for it!

I think if you make a sportswear brand that is not plastic but organic materials you will become very rich They exist but they mostly all suck I can't find non-plastic swim shorts, gym shorts, and gf can't find non-plastic bikinis, yoga shorts, leggings, etc.

🇬🇷 Greece now has the highest AC adoption rate in the entire Europe 85% of homes have AC installed, compared to a still measly 20% on average in entire Europe They love AC so much here that they even installed it at the 🏛️ Acropolis! 😍 Some countries like Spain have pretty good AC rates too at ~41% but they usually set it at a still pretty hot temperature of 26C Not in Greece, everywhere I go they're blasting freezing cold air and it's set to 18C An example for the rest of Europe 👏

RT @chrissotraidis: GoldenEye 007 N64 running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. The GoldenEye decompilation community spent years reconstructing the original game. GoldenEye64Recomp, N64Recomp, N64ModernRuntime, and RT64 provided the static recompilation, runtime, and rendering foundations. I built GoldenPad on top: the iPhone and iPad app, touch interface, native audio and saves, controller support, and the mobile lifecycle work needed to make it run on real devices. It runs great on iPhone. GoldenEye runs better through GoldenPad than it has in any N64 emulator I have tried on iOS. Native ARM64 code, high-resolution Metal rendering, and modern dual-stick controls make a huge difference. No JIT, no N64 code being interpreted at runtime, and no streaming from a Mac. This is the original 1997 N64 game, not the XBLA version, and it is not based on GoldenEye Metal. I am actively working on full local split-screen multiplayer for iPad. MacOS support soon. I built the iOS and iPadOS integration with 5.6 Sol. Open sourcing it all below. Happy Friday!

ELI5: - One organic spray (called BT) is made from friendly bacteria. It’s genuinely safe — like a gentle helper that only hurts the bad bugs. ✅ - But another organic spray is copper (yes, the metal). It’s allowed because it’s “natural.” Problem: it never goes away. It just sits in the dirt forever and forever, like glitter you can’t clean up. Too much hurts fish and worms. Europe is trying hard to use less of it. - Some plant sprays are okay in organic. Almost the same man-made versions are banned — even if the man-made ones are sometimes gentler and smarter. One natural spray (rotenone) used to be popular… until they discovered it was actually pretty bad and banned it. - Rules say “only spray if you really, really need to.” But on big fruit farms, they often just spray on a calendar anyway. https://x.com/i/grok/share/71d8224e6aa9437fb116369f9ea419b1

My squat is 125 kg/275 lbs/1.6x bw (intermediate) My bench is 100 kg/220 lbs/1.3x bw (intermediate) My deadlift is 125 kg/275 lbs/1.6x bw (novice) I think wanna move slowly from intermediate to advanced I think, I don't need to be elite lifter My deadlift now is way too low for how heavy my squat and bench are, but that's because I've always been scared of breaking my back with it, so I was always careful, so I am fixing that now But I am very very proud of myself, I used to be skinny 50 kg and weak! Now I'm 75kg and very strong! Intermediate level lifting is stronger than ~50% of lifters (not society!), advanced is stronger than ~80%, elite is stronger than ~95%. If you look society wise, these lifts make me stronger than 95% of people, because most people don't even lift! I always find it funny when you post lifts you get anon accounts calling you weak, which makes no sense, just going to the gym 3x per week, you're probably stronger than 95% of people! Which for me is a big achievement 👏

I made a little page to illustrate my point There is an extremely strong correlation between the price of housing and how many new homes are built Countries that build more pay less rent This seems completely obvious to anyone with a brain, except governments and locals who scapegoat everyone except their own governments for not letting people build more homes That anti-building regulation is pushed by existing home owners who want to keep their house prices going up, and they represent a considerable voting bloc in countries around the world (about 65% of people in EU/US are home owners) So there is your problem!

Things I learnt after buying a house after 1 year and going through lots of shitty products and things and what I'd do know if I bought or build a house again: - home assistant + their HA Green (little box that's open source to connect all your devices with Home Assistant) - LG or Mitsubishi air conditioning in EVERY room, both cooling/heating, every unit should have its own outdoor unit, or you get annoying things like you can't cool one room and heat the other at same time! I think they're called mono splits - xiaomi air purifier in every room, big spaces get the big purifiers, smaller rooms small ones (most air purifiers are too small for the space they're in!) - a good smart lock, it's so good because you come home and your door auto opens (esp nice if you carry stuff) - matic vacuum (they gave me one so I have to disclose but it's GREAT, all the Roomba and Chinese ones suck) - unifi router with access points, outdoor extenders, cameras, doorbell, all PoE - starlink with local fiber backup - tesla dreamwall or other batteries sufficient to power for days (means like 4-8 batteries @ 13kwh per maybe!), then connect your freezer, fridge, stove, etc to it (heavy loads) so you can keep and cook food when shit goes down - related get a Weber Genesis gas bbq so you can always cook food, fun with friends too - solar panels actually sufficient to power (so like 30-50, crazy number but if you get like 15 it's just not enough?) - pool is honestly overrated, you'll almost never use it, also lots of maintenance (we had a massive water leak with a $10,000 water bill this month, so F that) - but u DO want a standalone jacuzzi, that's nice, with lights! - if you care about safety get steel doors with massive locks for other rooms, and make those safe rooms, so if someone comes in you have multiple layers of security - also get weapons to defend you and your family where legally possible! - garden should be permaculture kinda concept with vegetables, herbs and stuff you can grow to eat, like strawberries, rosemary etc - harvia dry sauna, and if outside, add a little changing room to it so you don't exit in the cold outside! - related, build a home gym, get a big power rack with cables, free barbell, smith barbell, everything built in, and then some dumbbells and kettlebells, and a gym bike like concept2, maybe concept2 rowing machine too, with that you can do almost anything to stay fit! then hire personal trainer to come to your house or you will never go! - ALL lights should be changeable to red at night, via home assistant, so you can make everything red at 10pm for sleep! - also get outdoor lights for fun and security (burglars hate lights) - ALL windows black out blinds on outside, for both security and just NO light during sleep - when you're not sleeping, get lots of sunlight, big floor to ceiling glass windows, it's great! - all doors to outside flat on floor level, no stepover edges (like in PT) - preferrably lots of land around your house so you're not close to any neighbors (neighbors are always annoying even if they're nice!) - fellow water kettle, fellow ode 2 coffee grinder - sofas, other interior, make sure to find natural materials, 99% of interior is polyester/plastic - LG makes the best TVs, end of story, but their software is shit and spies on you, NEVER connect them to the internet/WiFi, instead buy an Apple TV box and connect that, that doesn't spy on you and has no ads, then connect it with HDMI and you're good, also no annoying LG TV updates - re: TVs, people show these formulas of like blalba distance to sofa from tv is N meter so now you need 60", in my experience they always sell you a TV like 10-15" too small, we had 77" LG TV and it was like diving into the screen, beautiful, but then we followed the formula and changed it for 65", not the same! get bigger! - get a VERY big bed, 2m wide by 2m long at least, get natural bed sheets/duvet and seperate duvet from partner, the less you wake up when your partner moves the better - guest rooms are a bad idea, it's annoying to have friends and family IN your house for weeks or a month, good luck trying to have SEX! better get a small house or apt near for them or put them in airbnb!!! - add a delivery box outside ur house so delivery people can put packages inside without having to ring your doorbell 10x per day - get a $500 mini projector and big projection screen outside (or a white wall) so you can have movie nights outside w friends
