Venezuela was also a palace coup. They didn't raid, they came to collect.

I think it really depends on your personality. I work with people in their late thirties that are refreshed by a long weekend with very little sleep in Ibiza, and would probably di…

We just cancelled everyone's plans and rolled liteLLM out internally. We kept it for the insanely cheap tokens, but now that they've switched to the new pricing, they're just like …

My first introduction to the blog was through his Lord of the Rings Siege of Gondor serie, and I've been a Patreon supporter ever since. It's well worth the time.

AI is more like a union that controls the entire labour pool. I'm one out of a few million developers. I've got very limited bargaining power. I can't withdraw my labour because I …

I'm apparently a former professional soccer player too, but I can't find my alter-ego anywhere using the classic search engines. Interestingly, the only other person with my (very …

> Again, trying to literally count calories sucks and is demotivating. Setting up a rigid template for a week and then using it as a basic guide is sustainable and fun. I lost a hu…

You have to accept that losing weight and gaining strength are generally antagonistic goals. You won't hit personal bests, you may even see the numbers go down, but as long as you …

2000kcal is about 1.5kg of chicken breasts, or 2.3kg of potatoes. Vegetables are broadly not worth counting, as you likely won't be able to eat enough to make a difference. That's …

Gosh, it used to be £3 not that long ago. About £5 for a wrap at Prêt if I couldn't be bothered to go fight with the tourists to cross the road down Kingsway.

The other option is the one that kills palestinians, and we don't even get free models out of it.

As always, the US has a government removing red tape to foster innovation, while China has a regime , unfairly picking winners, to hurt and subvert the West.

We've been through it over and over. "Tesla is not a car company it's a X company" where X is the current trending theme. So far, Tesla has been a blockchain, energy, robotics, and…

My daughter is about to enter "group 2". The starkest difference with the system back home is the level of autonomy they have. Most of what they seem to do revolve around working t…

I've seen people miss the tractor wheel with a hammer at my gym. I didn't even know if was physically possible.

I use DSv4 through opencode. I use it from deepseek directly, not through a third-party platform. I mostly do C# and some frontend. I was starting to feel really depressed and unen…

US have guardrails , China have censorship. US have fair tax breaks to support the national champions, China have unfair State-backed monopolies. US have necessary intelligence gat…

They would have a golden opportunity to inflict damage to a geopolitical adversary. The US economy is being propped up by AI, I'm not sure they'd miss the chance to blow that bubbl…

They're going around saying "Imagine no possessions. To help you, we'll take them all. Don't thank us".

115k€ gross, that gives you about 67k€ net. 5600€ per month. Minus a 2200€ mortgage, 400€ of health insurance, 1200€ of childcare, 200€ for the car repayment and insurance, 200€ fo…

The clue is in the name. Working class doesn't mean you earn more than average and have some savings. You're working class if you live from your work rather than your capital. My h…

Believing they have any interests other than theirs at heart is like believing the stripper is really in love with you. That's not cynicism, that's just common sense.

Believe it or not, but not every software developer is making 7 figures annually with a few millions in vested shares. Even within the US.

Have you tried deepseek V4? It costs pennies and is as good as Opus 4.6 (I found 4.7 to be a downgrade, and cancelled my claude subscription before 4.8). The threshold has definite…

It's bunq. It was time to close your bank account with them a long time ago. Terrible working environment, terrible leadership. Count yourself lucky if they don't hold your money h…
