@Porkchop_EXP If the native Dutch people had more children you wouldn't need to literally import people to do the jobs the native Dutch can't or won't.

20 years ago when I was a student in Groningen foreign students couldn’t get the shittiest part time job in some H&M store because you had to speak fluent Dutch “in case there is a fire alarm, for example, and you have to follow instructions to evacuate”. It’s now completely normalized all over the country to be helped by people who speak no Dutch. This would be absolutely wild in Germany, even in a totally foreign-occupied city like Frankfurt.

@levelsio Old coder uncle 😂

I keep sending messages meant for Claude Code to my friends accidentally

@Moonlight_myths @bekeestitches Then you're SOL, just accept it and maybe try to sleep with noise cancelling buds or something

@bekeestitches I have tried that already more than twice

If your neighbour has a baby, and it cries ALL NIGHT, and it's room-is directly next to yours divided by a wall, is it okay to ask them to move the baby to another room? My alarm goes off at 5am. This baby cries until 2, 3am most nights. I am exhausted. I am ill. I am childless by choice and I DO NOT need this. I understand the mother is tired. But you know what? This was not my choice. I'm experiencing the consequences of her choice and I am no longer understanding of it.

@levelsio Yesterday it was worse than normal. At some point I even decided to try Codex for the day, maybe the problem was me, not the tool... and it actually was more reliable so it was Claude.

I KNEW IT

@t1llmann @levelsio I thought I was going crazy! The same thing happened to me.

@levelsio Yup, felt off yesterday. I even had a moment where it just out of the blue started using Sonnet to plan a task🤯

@TheVixhal I have died on this hill so many times it's not even funny...

If you pick a random number between 1 and infinity, the probability of picking any specific number is not just small. It is exactly 0. Yet you still pick one. This breaks most people's intuition that “probability 0” means “impossible.” In math, probability 0 and impossibility are not the same thing.

@TerribleMaps You are forever cursed

I liked one post that was in Brazilian, and now 50% of my feed is posts in Brazilian

Nobody tells you this: Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It’s the dopamine from reading, planning, or learning, but never doing. Stop looking for more information and start acting on the information you already have. Get your dopamine from action.

@levelsio But do you want to have Portuguese citizenship and lose your Dutch one?

I'm an immigrant in Portugal for the last 5 years, have spent millions € there, hired lots of people here, learnt the langauge (eu falo português), studied and know Portugal's history better than many Portuguese Yet immigrants who bribed their way into the system, get government welfare, get free government housing, don't speak a single word of Portuguese, now have Portuguese citizenship, yet I don't! I'm being treated differently for sure, but the opposite way of how I expected to be 😂

Rust devs are gonna hate this but it's true.... Every memory safety bug you’ve ever seen in C use after-free, buffer overflow, whatever is a skill issue, not a language issue. the computer does exactly what you told it to do, you just told it to do something stupid. malloc() gives you memory. free() gives it back. If you use it after free(), that's on you. that's like blaming the knife when you cut yourself. C assumes you're not an idiot. modern languages assume you are. that's the difference. C built trillion-dollar infrastructure. your OS. your browser. your database. all of it. Linux has been running the internet for 30 years. It's fine. If you can't handle managing your own memory, that's valid. Use Python. Use Rust. Use whatever. but don't pretend C is broken because you dereferenced a null pointer one time. > The language isn't unsafe. You are.

@levelsio I don't know man, hard to believe this. I still live and work in Amsterdam, near the central station everyday. I agree with things getting worse here, for instance, now sometimes (but still rarely) you can find a group of bums under a bridge. BUT NO WAY it's worse than Brazil.

Of course I did not pass the opportunity to spam her my site hoodmaps.com

A Brazilian today told me she visited Europe a week ago She says she felt more unsafe in Europe than the city were she's from in South Brazil, Curitiba, which is pretty safe She felt most unsafe in Belgium and the Netherlands Which is really sad to hear as a Dutch person that it has come to this She was followed by three guys after getting off at the train, who were signalling things to each other as if they were gonna try rob her or worse She then fled to a group of local guys to act like she was their friend so they got away from her Of course one thing to note she was in the center of Amsterdam and Brussels, which you wouldn't wish to anybody, but then again it's crazy we can't keep our centers in Europe safe anymore In North and South America, downtown cities are generally like this, full of crime, junkies, etc, Brazil of course too, but Europe's centers used to be nice and historical and cute and clean and SAFE!

@lochieaxon @alexvanderzon I guess I was holding it wrong. 😕

@lochieaxon @alexvanderzon Ah nevermind. If the phone is silenced, vibrations don't work (like for instance they work with a keyboard app). That was the issue.

@GergelyOrosz Some people are successful after requesting multiple times.

Tried all basic things: - Reinstall the game - Remove 2FA from my Microsoft account (my MS Account works fine) Nothing. I cannot play Minecraft Dungeons thanks to Microsoft login… not working with the game I request a refund as MS bricked my game, and… Steam refuses. What

Microsoft and gaming simply do not mix. Purchased Minecraft Legends on my Steamdeck. It requires a Microsoft account play (??). Fine. After some days it kicked me out, and now every time I try to log in, Microsoft gives me an error. So I cannot play the game I paid for. WTH

@venturetwins Oh wow, I did that for Amsterdam and it even literally generated the Albert Heijn logo (largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands). Some things are slightly off like cheese on uncooled shelves, but indeed impressive.

4) Localization This model was supposed to be particularly good at rendering real-world locations. I tested it by asking to generate a shot looking down the aisle of a grocery store in four locations: Tokyo, Mexico City, Paris, and LA. Look at the signs and the products 👀

Nano Banana 2 is out. I had early access for the past few days, and tested it across a ton of prompts. It's leveled up for a bunch of use cases - infographics, ads, action shots, even cartoons. And it's crazy fast! Some styles + prompts you should try 👇

@ShishirShelke1 Everyone over 50, most people over 40, Samsung users... I think a lot of people.

Does anyone still use 3-button navigation? 🤔

@thedarshakrana @grok can you fact check this?

The physics community doesn’t talk about quantum immortality loudly because the logical conclusion of taking it seriously is almost unbearable to sit with. Max Tegmark, one of the most respected cosmologists alive, once ran the numbers on the quantum suicide thought experiment and walked away shaken. When you follow the Many Worlds Interpretation to its honest end, the math doesn’t just suggest survival. It *demands* it. You will always find yourself on the surviving branch. Only because the dead version of you produces no observer to experience being dead. The real horror is what surviving everything actually looks like over a long enough timeline. You don’t get to choose the branch you land in. You just land in the one where you’re still breathing, walking away from crashes that killed everyone else, outliving everyone you loved, the last man standing across infinite timelines. And that’s only because the math left you no other option. Now layer on what the CIA research actually points to and most people misread it. The EEG spikes weren’t random noise. They correlated with the emotional category of images that hadn’t appeared yet. Disturbing images triggered stress responses before they were shown. Calm images produced nothing. The brain was accurately pre-responding to a future it hadn’t seen. Nobel Prize winner Anton Zeilinger’s entanglement experiments have since demonstrated that causation doesn’t have to flow one direction — the future can retroactively determine the state of the past. Your nervous system evolved over 3.8 billion years purely to keep you alive. If retrocausality is real, natural selection would have ruthlessly favored organisms that could detect the shape of catastrophic futures. The ones who couldn’t, died. The ones whose gut could faintly receive those signals, reproduced. Your intuition might be evolutionary hardware built to pick up transmissions from timelines you never lived. The question worth sitting with is: what would change if you treated it like information instead of noise?

@levelsio The low testosterone is maybe because of dietary habits. The wheat in Brazil is worse than Europe (1/3 of the protein content), white rice and soya oil for frying everything. And lots of sugar. Even though there's a lot of meat consumption, it's also filled with hormones.

I'm in Brazil a lot and this would be my main thing I don't like about it here, it's the 2nd biggest market for fragrances after the US The hotel room we stay gets sprayed with a perfume every day They have "cheirinho" culture where fragrance is an essential part of their hygience It's also because of the climate, it can be hot, so people sweat more, and they wear fragrances to mask body odor Brazil coincidentally (or not) has one of the lowest average testosterone levels in the world, also along with the US!

🌏 One thing I absolutely love about South East Asia and especially East Asia is how free it is of perfumes and fragrances I barely smell them in Thailand and then if you go Korea or Japan you will simply NOT smell any perfumes And that's great because most perfumes are bad for you, they contain formaldehyde, styrene and phtalates, all considered carcinogenic They also contain parabens which are endocrine disruptors, which disrupt your hormone system When you wear perfume, these compounds get into your skin, or if someone else wears them you breathe them in, and after that in both cases they enter your bloodstream, and from there cross your blood-brain barrier But they don't even have to get into your bloodstream to enter your brain, there's the olfactory nerve pathway via your nose going straight into your brain So if you care about your health, avoid perfumes (or move to East Asia)
