I got UFO50 on the switch, god what a masterpiece. Makes me feel like a kid again playing these old school hard af games.

Ohhhh mijn fucking god kan IEMAND autoscaling aanzetten bij de belastingdienst

Oké misschien is dit naïef: <10% rendement —> belasting op daadwerkelijk ongerealiseerd >=10% rendement —> belasting op fictief ongerealiseerd rendement 10% Kies percentage hoe je wil op basis van eerlijkheid/belastinginkomsten/whatever. What am I missing? Dit lost alles op toch??

Als iemand van ShinyHunters dit leest: jullie hebben m’n IBAN gun Robin Hood stijl

I’m now viewing content the way god intended: via an RSS feed. Anyone got recs???

So incredibly frustrating about working with AI in non-R&D industry: business comes to you with a use-case that has no data and no clear business value a priori and expect you to cook up something of value. In these cases often the best you can do is just zero-shot and pray…

The best thing about @rmcelreath.bsky.social ‘s YouTube lecture on statistics is the jokes and also the fact you can’t hear/see the class so it sounds like they’re just no-selling every single one

Ik snap niet dat de NOS ervoor kiest de meest dodelijke saaie sporten uit te zenden (skischansspringen, langlaufen) en niet epische spannende sporten (curling)

Waarom heeft niemand het hierover

I love that companies keep your data for 5 years for no reason: in case there’s a massive data breach a year after you’ve left the company they can still fuck you over!

Season 2 episode 2 of Andor is so hilariously bad… It’s obvious it was written during the writer’s strike.

I love the Olympics man… it’s chock full of narrative. Underdogs, rivalries, sacrifice it’s got it all.

I’ve got a new Minimalist Program: don’t hang out with human traffickers

Im getting pelted by recruiters on LinkedIn but it’s literally all horrible consultancy jobs that pay terrible

Why even allow me to pick a pick-up point if you’re just gonna deliver it to bumfuck nowhere anyway?

We desperately need a EC president who is a) not of noble descent b) not from a DACHS country (Luxembourg is spiritually DACHS) and c) not 68 years old. Ursula von der Leyen is the embodiment of the old stubborn out of touch Europe. Imagine if we had like a charming Irish guy in that role.

Rob Jetten be like ik wil niet met de PVV regeren behalve als ze allemaal een nepsnor en een regenjas dragen.

Noem mij een liberaal maar die vermogensaanwasbelasting is echt het domste idee ooit. Lekker je beleggingen van 20k moeten verkopen om belasten te kunnen betalen. Newsflash: mensen met 20k op een rekening zijn niet de oorzaak van de vermogensongelijkheid!

TIL you need an internet connection to use icons in PowerPoint. Fun!

Ze gaan Marco Kroon naar Groenland sturen

I suggested some names for the company band before I left it due to being too boomer, and now they chose one of my suggestions!!!!

Het is zo ironisch dat vacatures in het bedrijfsleven letterlijk vragen om academisch werk en denkniveau, maar in de praktijk mensen die academisch ingesteld zijn als nogal lastig kunnen worden ervaren

I feel like the only thing keeping the hyper-rigidity in Germany alive is the gospel that in other countries it MUST be worse, why else would there be all those rules and 0 flexibility?

Bla bla how much do you think about the Roman Empire? Uhh not much the Republic is much more interesting.

I just got an invite to a mandatory workshop about ‘storytelling’ and the email is clearly written by ChatGPT, including em-dashes. I love corporate.

Lotta people complaining NS / Schiphol cant handle snow that falls yearly in Nordic countries... maintaining infrastructure that can deal with 3 days of snow simply costs more than the damages this weather causes because it’s so rare. It’s the efficiency of capitalism we keep blabbering on about.

The funniest thing about Swedish people is they genuinely don’t hear the difference between chair and share

Ecclesiastical pronunciation pmo so much bro

Can someone explain to me why I thought I looked snatched this morning when I checked the mirror before leaving and just now I saw myself on a video and I almost have to throw up. The mirror is the real me right???

In corporate you’ll sometimes that if you’d leave devs to themselves nothing would ever be finished and that’s why you *need* scrum masters/product owners/management, and I’m just like brother what do you mean? Leave the nerds alone they build shit the world runs on like Linux and make it for free!

New favorite hobby is lowballing Germans on Vinted

Seeing D66 adopting these BBB deserters its obvious they never played Mount & Blade: you don’t want these disloyal lords who defect all the time in your faction, sure they’re easy to recruit and it’s nice to have ~300 extra troops early but they will eventually start quarreling and demanding fiefs

I had a whole plan to solve the door puzzles with the symbols in hogwarts legacy and then I found a note that literally has the answer key… oh

Wat is er aan de hand in Syrië? Utrecht is een grote rwina met auto’s die Syrische vlaggen vieren

Ophef over sinterklaasjournaal recession indicator

Orthography maffia part 2

The result of the orthography maffia

Within my org, word documents are completely dead. Everyone is just making PowerPoints even to just document information. It’s pretty bonkers.

Really lacking nuance and clear terminology in the discussion around GenAI in Gaming. What’re we talking about? Generating assets, a dev letting copilot generating docstrings, GenAI as part of the game mechanics? Is it all equally bad? Why/why not? Which algorithms are allowed?

It’s often the same (male) influencers who claim to practice stoicism that are also practicing clear examples Schopenhauerisch renunciations of the will (intense exercise, fasting, chastity, etc.), which are strictly in opposition to stoicism. Why is that? What’s the underlying view here?

We finally found MERGE

The steam machine is gonna cost like 900 dollars isn’t it

It’s always ambiguous what people are clapping for after a drum solo. For the solo or the fact the band managed to find the 1?

I played at a bizarre session the other day with a bass player who looked exactly like Robert California

Corporates really don’t seem to give a single fuck about evaluating AI/NLP systems they implement. The only measures are “does it save time/do we feel good about”

Chomsky is in the Epstein files. Can we retire generativism now?

One of the things I love about becoming better at trumpet and playing jazz is that there are no shortcuts. Using AI or whatever just doesn’t make any sense, it’s not gonna improvise for you. That shit has to be drilled in your own brain.

Throwback that one class where students were encouraged to fill out an anonymous class evaluation by the prof, and in the last class he opened by dissing all the points of improvement people wrote down

NLP was so much more interesting before LLMs. Now I’m just sick of it.
