My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany
He makes €41,000 a year before tax
Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000
"Are you going to take it?" I asked him
"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"
He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:
- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits
If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000
European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life

@dollarsanddata Because writing is not about the output, but about the process. Writing is thinking.
English

As someone who codes & writes, the difference is in the kind of output I want for each.
With code, I just want the thing to work. I don't care how it works. AI is great at this.
With writing, I want the best content I can produce. I care A LOT about the details. AI sucks here.
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
Why do a lot of software people like a tool that can allow them to expend their mental energy on higher order problems, while writers dislike the tool that can replace their output completely? Truly one of the great mysteries of our time

@dollarsanddata This is the free speech app, remember? Anything goes.

AI will inevitably lead to an explosion in polyamory
I’ve talked to dozens of people about their objections to poly the last few years, and it always comes down to 3 things:
1) Logistics - the difficulty of keeping track of all the preferences, needs, scheduling, communication, dates, etc. for multiple partners simultaneously
2) Not enough time - they simply don’t have enough free time outside work to even consider such a lifestyle
3) Jealousy - the feelings and thoughts they fear would arise, and their inability to handle them productively
(I’ve been amazed at how rare it is for the morality/ethics of polyamory to come up. I think we’ve essentially moved on from this view as a society)
AI largely solves all 3 of these objections even with current capabilities:
1) Logistics are no longer a problem, because AI is better at this than anything. You can simply keep a chat thread for each partner/date, drop in anything of relevance, and ask it to recall or retrieve anything you might want to remember
2) Not enough time - AI is decoupling the amount of time we spend working with the value we create. For those who harness it, work will soon become much less central to their lives, thus freeing up huge amounts of time. A lot of this time will be spent doing persona dev’t, which is essential to making polyamory work
3) Jealousy - This one is more subtle, but AI can also address it quite well. You can have a 24/7 poly coach to guide you through anything you might be feeling or fearing. You can role play complex conversations, model the interpersonal dynamics, or even simulate entire new relationships before starting them
As usual, the SF Bay Area is ahead of its time, but make no mistake, polyamory is coming into the mainstream with AI’s help

@bgurley I play your speech to my students every semester. It makes a huge impact on them as they are trying to sort out their life and career. Incredible message and delivery.

@fortelabs I had a lot of issues and never got it to work withour errors - then I just ask an AI agent (Codex) to do it for me. Since then everything works well :D
English

@fortelabs You should not do any of this manually, but ask an agent to figute it our for you ;)

Has anyone succeeded in connecting their openclaw to Google Chat?
It's the first thing I'm trying to set up, and I've been troubleshooting it for hours (or rather my openclaw has), running endless tests, supposedly finding the issue but then not, etc.
So far this thing hasn't increased my productivity by 100x, it's decreased it by 100x

Yooooo

Trump on WW2: Without us, you would all be speaking German or a little Japanese, perhaps.

@JakovRudi @dvassallo Everything becoming Chinese now, even the tools.

@dvassallo Every machine that was a part of making that hose connector is (90%) made in Germany aka cnc, injection mold, molding machine
English

Sometimes I buy a garden hose made in Germany, or some silly item like that, and it's like it was made by an advanced alien species.

Can you name one thing Germany gave to the world.

@petergyang @SahilBloom 100% - also moved from regular squats to split squads to save my lower back.
English

@SahilBloom I love this exercise as I can get a good leg workout without having to load up my back with heavy barbell weights. You're using 100 lbs each lol I'm at 30.

@teslaxander Lustig, wie alle auf den Rage Bait reinfallen, damit er seinen Affiliate-Link zu Robinhood pushen kann. Nice move.

@SnazzyLabs Yes, everyone was asking to get magsafe back, but once I got used to the universal "I-dont-need-an-extra-calbe"-USB-C, I never looked back!

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS So we’re giving China our best technology now? Tell me how this makes the US better?
English

.@POTUS: "We did discuss chips, and they're going to be talking to Nvidia and others about taking chips... we're not talking about the Blackwell... but a lot of chips, and that's good for us."

.@POTUS on his meeting with President Xi: "I thought it was an amazing meeting... a lot of decisions were made, too — there wasn't too much left out there, and we've come to conclusion on many very important points."

We're testing a new link experience, starting on iOS -- to make it easier for your followers to engage with your post while browsing links.
For creators, a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good.
To help get better signal, posts will now collapse to the bottom of the page so people can react while you're reading.
As always, remember: the post should stand alone as great content so write a solid caption.

@bilawalsidhu @petergyang First couple of episodes give it more horror vibes, but it's actually SciFi and definitely worth it.
