@aGPinVC @maveinlux No offense to anyone but all you need to do is compare SG with the food culture in the same neighborhood like BKK which is 100x better.

Many moons ago, Singapore had street vendors everywhere. Anyone could set up a shop anywhere, sell anyhow.
The urban planning department of Singapore in Singapore came up with a genius plan to build hawker centers, fully serviced, fully maintained.
Singapore had around 113 hawker centers in 1986 and about 18,000 street hawkers had been moved into more than 110 centres. Now. Today there are over 123 of them and not one street vendors on the street.
Thats how a state must operate.

I am a capitalist and a believer in free markets. They are useful tools to generate wealth and lift millions out of poverty. For free married to thrive, it is important to have law and order: enforcement of contracts, general safety on the etc. But one can do all of this while having compassion for the poor and the vulnerable. And it is not just compassion, these street side makeshift shops are selling goods and services that are in demand. They are contributing positively to the economy. I think its okay to give such people a bit of leeway.

@neetcode1 Had it build a dev port tool so i can see what ports are occupied and kill them on my machine. I had one port running for 10 days.

@Prime_Asthetic Disagree, watch collection is personal and depends on the taste of the collector

@clashreport In the US we generally get a lump of time called PTO so if we get sick it means we lose vacation time. Never get sick? More vacation.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

Two Transgender Individuals, One Lao and One Thai, Detained After Russian Tourist Reports Cash Theft Following Paid Sexual Encounter in Pattaya
Pattaya — Police from Pattaya City Police Station have detained two individuals after a Russian tourist reported being robbed following a paid sexual encounter at a hotel near Walking Street in the early hours of July 1, 2026.
The incident occurred at approximately 5:08 a.m., when motorcycle patrol officers responded to a report from the Russian tourist. He told police that after agreeing to pay 3,000 baht for sexual services in his hotel room, he discovered that approximately 10,000 baht in cash was missing from his wallet after the encounter. He asked officers to review CCTV footage to help identify those involved.
Police responded to the hotel, gathered evidence, and coordinated with Pattaya City officials. They subsequently detained two individuals for questioning:
Suspect 1: Identified by passport as Mr. Phouangmalay Louanephilavan, a Lao national.
Suspect 2: Identified by Thai national ID as Mr. Phlai, a Thai national.
Both suspects were taken to investigators at Pattaya City Police Station for detailed questioning. Officers are also reviewing CCTV footage, tracing movements into and out of the hotel, and collecting forensic evidence to establish the facts of the case.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing. Investigators will evaluate all available evidence, and if sufficient evidence supports charges—including theft or any other related offenses—they will pursue legal action against those responsible.
Police also reminded both Thai and foreign tourists to exercise caution when carrying valuables and to avoid engaging in the purchase of sexual services. Authorities noted that such activity may violate Thai law and can also increase the risk of becoming a victim of theft, fraud, or other crimes.
Police added that they will continue expanding the investigation and will prosecute everyone found to be involved based on the evidence, in an effort to maintain public safety and strengthen confidence among visitors to Pattaya.

@bluewindrage @dieworkwear Like anything. Taste is subjective. You can even appreciate the design, history, engineering, etc... without actually liking the object. I think the reverso is an incredible watch, but I don't want one. I just think it's neat.

@ivrespecter @loserbackhome Kudos to you man, for taking the initiative and doing the right thing!
English
@loserbackhome The "mafia" family was really just a bunch of muppets. Totally not as dangerous as everyone warned. The trick is to do things quietly. Don't argue, don't confront, just follow the process. Apparently there is less corruption in the Damronghtam Center than in other agencies. lol

So you want a Thai girlfriend? 🤣
My gfs brother convinced her to remortgage her condo to pay his mafia loan shark debt and he would pay the mortgage each month.
She remortgaged for 4mb for a condo worth maybe 3mb by bribing bank staff.
It’s month 2 and brother can’t pay.💀

Us Chinese have a nature, which is to make money by any means necessary, even amongst the tropical freedoms of Thailand, the mercantile itch we inherit the moment we take our first breath rises forth like a phoenix from the ashes…

A Chinese Billionaire Hid in Bangkok on a Retirement Visa Until His Knees Buckled and He Begged Police for Insulin The man Thai Immigration arrested last week in Bangkok had once ranked among China's wealthiest, with assets the bureau put in the tens of billions of baht. By the time officers reached him at Rama 9 he was 69 and living quietly as a retiree, which was the cover. He had used his age to qualify for a Thai retirement visa, the kind meant for ordinary long-stay foreigners winding down, and it kept him out of sight while a Chinese arrest warrant and an Interpol red notice sat against his name. The warrant was for forging company seals and commercial fraud, charges he allegedly fled after the case broke at home. China coordinated with Thai police through foreign-affairs channels earlier in the month, and Immigration revoked his stay, then tracked the address. When the officers arrived he collapsed, his blood pressure spiked, and he asked them to give him insulin and his heart medication on the spot. He is now held at Immigration Division 3 in Bangkok, waiting to be sent back to China.

@GergelyOrosz Honestly it’s not groundbreaking. This could be setup today with cursor automations with a slack trigger and cloud agents. You just need to provide it Jira/notion api keys. I’m tired of people hyping up a slack integration while their major models and future releases are in limbo
English
Difference is that that startup I talked about build this integration over a few months (yes, really!) to make it work
IDK how easily Claude Tag integrates, and integrations are the big deal here.
I assume a LOT more vendors will offer all this btw, because CDE + agent + integrations + Slack integration is the big unlock
English
I talked with a few folks inside Anthropic and I am starting to understand what @karpathy is saying (and what lots of people are misunderstanding)
It's not about Slack, but about a cloud AI, hooked up to ALL internal company systems, that "just works." THIS is the breakthrough
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy
This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads. Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

@dwightnyamouth @thirdmetax Could be interpreted as provocation by initial aggressor under law

@thirdmetax I mean proof of someone calling you the n word does not prevent you from going to jail for assaulting them.

Terry Crews reveals why he no longer reacts when someone uses the N word
“In my culture, if somebody called you nigger, you knock them out, no matter what, no questions asked, don’t even hesitate.”
“Well the thing is, usually when you do that, you go to jail, you can’t prove somebody called you a nigger unless it’s recorded and it’s your word against, somebody’s laying on the ground, you just assaulted somebody.”
“The jail is full of black men who were baited by a word and had to had to follow the rules.”
“Here’s the thing that changed for me and this is where I Learned what I could control, there are no niggas, there’s no such thing you might as well call somebody a leprechaun.”
“There’s no such thing as a nigger, and I said holy cow, I can get mad about someone calling me something I’m not.”
“The thing I like to say is, Bill Gates, if you call him broke, he just look at you and go go in his helicopter and fly away, he wouldn’t even be threatened by that.”
“But here’s the thing, if you really do think you’re a nigga, that’s when it affects you, that’s when you wanna fight and I said but I’m not a nigga and I realized that there was so much I could let wash off.”

A US diplomat is dead in a Yangon hotel, his Thai ex-wife is on trial in one of the most opaque justice systems on earth, and almost nothing about the case is clear.
Daniel Riva, 43, a US diplomat from New York, was found stabbed to death in May at a hotel popular with foreigners in Myanmar, just over a kilometre from the US Embassy. He had spent his career fighting international organised crime, with postings in Suriname and East Timor.
His ex-wife, a Thai national, has now appeared before a court in Yangon. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, she ran a baking business and a cooking channel back in Bangkok. She is charged with murder, though that trial has not yet begun, and she is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.
Here's what makes this so murky. Myanmar has been under military rule since 2021, locked in a civil war. Court hearings are closed to journalists. Police and officials refuse to comment. Even the US State Department has not publicly confirmed details.
A family in New York is grieving. A woman faces a possible death sentence in a system the world cannot see into.
Some stories raise far more questions than answers.
What do you make of a case this shrouded in secrecy?
