Century-Old Dutch Embassy in Bangkok for Sale, Raising Heritage Concerns The historic Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Bangkok, a colonial-era landmark recognized for its architectural and cultural value, is being put up for sale, raising alarm among heritage advocates and the Dutch community in Thailand. The embassy villa, built during the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), has been recognized by the Association of Siamese Architects for conservation and is listed as a heritage site at risk on the Siam Society’s Heritage Alert platform. Located on Witthayu (Wireless) Road in Pathumwan district, adjacent to the U.S. Embassy, the compound is a rare green space in central Bangkok. Heritage groups warn that selling the property could result in the irreversible loss of a unique cultural and diplomatic landmark. According to the Siam Society, the site has a layered history: it was once owned by French royal physician Dr. Alphonse Poix and later by Thai nobility, including Prince Bovoradej, who led the 1933 “Rebellion of Prince Bovoradej.” The property was leased at various times to the British Alumni Association, occupied by the Japanese army during World War II, and used by Salesian Roman Catholic priests, including for the Don Bosco Vocational School for disadvantaged children. In 1948, the Dutch government purchased the property as its first permanent embassy in Thailand, and it has remained a diplomatic hub ever since. The embassy underwent major renovations in 2004–2005, adding modern office facilities while preserving the historic villa, with further interior updates completed by 2007. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to relocate the embassy to Dusit Central Park by August 2026. While developers are eyeing the prime central Bangkok site for potential mixed-use or landmark projects, heritage advocates emphasize that the property represents over 400 years of Dutch-Thai diplomatic relations and serves as a symbol of cultural, historical, and diplomatic significance. The Dutch community in Thailand has launched petitions urging the Netherlands government to reconsider the sale, warning that the loss would be felt not only in Thailand but internationally, as the embassy embodies centuries of shared history and cross-cultural ties. #Thailand #Bangkok #Netherlands #สถานทูตเนเธอร์แลนด์

people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it. He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time. His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages. His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything. My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder. I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

In The Anxious Generation, I underestimated the harm from the phone-based childhood because I focused on the mental health outcomes, which is where we had the best data while I was writing the book. I now believe that the widespread diminishment of the human capacity to pay attention is an even larger harm, affecting the majority of children, and even many adults. Diminished focus, executive function, and book-reading means diminished life chances.

Perhaps nobody has ever waxed as poetically on the beauty of all-nighters (or explained their power in such detail) as @mlevchin did in 2000. “Opens up the chakras of creativity or code writing”. 👏

I really love this: "If your plan is to keep doing exactly what you’re doing, then yes, a machine that can do it faster and cheaper is terrifying. But if your plan is to do something dramatically bigger, then the machine is the best news you’ve ever gotten."
Garry Tan@garrytan

Boil the Oceans You know the phrase: “don’t boil the ocean.” Everyone’s said it in some overly ambitious meeting. It’s good advice in normal times. It keeps teams focused. It prevents scope creep. But we are no longer in normal times, and I think it’s time to retire saying it. Artificial Superintelligence means it’s time to boil the ocean. We’ll start with a few lakes first. I was recently with a university endowment’s head of private investing who told me their engineers were terrified for their jobs after seeing what Claude Code could do. And I get it — that’s the natural first reaction. But it’s the wrong one. It’s a zero-sum reaction to a positive-sum moment. Instead of worrying about doing the same thing we’ve been doing for cheaper, why not focus on doing the thing we never even dreamed of doing? Why can’t that endowment achieve 50% net IRR instead of 10%? Why can’t a startup deliver a service that is 100x better than the incumbent? Why can’t we have fusion energy? Why can’t we talk to every single user and have a perfect understanding of every bug in our product? These aren’t rhetorical questions anymore. They’re engineering problems with paths to solutions. Here is what I think is actually going on with the fear: our fear of the future is directly proportional to how small our ambitions are. If your plan is to keep doing exactly what you’re doing, then yes, a machine that can do it faster and cheaper is terrifying. But if your plan is to do something dramatically bigger, then the machine is the best news you’ve ever gotten. If you’re a worker — someone who trades labor for a living — this is the moment to become a builder. Start a business. And if you’re already management or capital, it’s time to go 10x more hardcore on what your aspirations could be. Not eking out 5% efficiency gains. Not increasing profit margins 2% by lowering cost and firing people. Those are the old games. The new question is: what would it look like to build a product or service so good that people would happily pay 10x what they pay now? The net result of this is more jobs, not fewer. As Ryan Petersen likes to say, the human desire for more things is absolutely limitless. We can actually fulfill that desire now — if we have the agency to prompt it for ourselves. Buckminster Fuller coined the term “ephemeralization” in 1938: doing more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing. His entire vision of progress was about technology enabling radical expansion of human capability through dematerialization. He traced this from stone bridges to iron trusses to steel cables — each iteration stronger, longer, lighter, cheaper. He wasn’t describing job destruction. He was describing civilization getting better at being civilization. This is Jevons Paradox for everything. When you make a resource dramatically more efficient, you don’t use less of it — you use vastly more. Steam engines didn’t reduce coal consumption. They made coal so useful that demand exploded. The same thing is about to happen with intelligence, with labor, with every service and product we can imagine. But Jevons Paradox doesn’t activate on its own. It requires capital and management to actually raise their ambitions — to boil lakes and oceans instead of drowning them in committee That’s what startups have always been good at: moving fast in the face of radical uncertainty, building for the 10x future while everyone else is optimizing for the 1.05x present. Time to start.

I have just been informed that one of the teams competing in the AI Grand Prix is using a biological computer built with cultured mouse brain cells to control their drone. At first look, this seems against the spirit of the software-only rules. On second thought, hell yeah.
