Using Claude code on the weekend vs during weekdays is a night-and-day difference... On Saturday it's 🏎️💨, on a Tuesday it's a ⏳💤

I drove a couple of hours through Amsterdam this weekend with my Tesla Model Y FSD. It's amazing, but I also had to intervene multiple times: on the A10 highway, it decided to take over 1km before my exit, and it didn't make the exit because it was not able to merge back 1/x

2: The car didn't take the right lane to turn to the left, it took the straight on lane. 3: It decided to brake VERY hard when I was taking a turn, and a cyclist was moving a bit while waiting for their light. 2/x

Nonetheless, it's impressive how well the car is moving through Dutch cyclists and pedestrian traffic. Although it's definitely needed to supervise atm 3/3

Shameful day for the European Union: Censorship law. This will be abused and I'd argue it is intended to be abused, designed for it since day one.
Delighted that our blueprint to help keep children safe online has just passed in the European Parliament. A major step forward in supporting parents, strengthening protections, and putting young people first. Proud to have played a part in shaping this important work @EPPGroup

This non-binding EP resolution urges EU-wide age limits, privacy-preserving verification, bans on addictive features & targeted ads to protect minors online. Critics warn of privacy risks & failure to address root harms like poor platform design. europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document… socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/we-ar… edri.org/our-work/age-v…

Another Sinner-Alcaraz final is booked, this time at the #USOpen. Their era has been well underway for a while now.

🇪🇺 My MEGA hat going viral everywhere now and getting lots of clones but I'm ranking #1 so that's really nice First physical product I made that's going really viral Selling about 1 hat per hour, so $840/day last 24 hours It took a long time for it to take off: I created it in March this year for my eu/acc project, but now that Europeans are finally realizing Europe actually has a problem it suddenly matches the zeitgeist I also feel like @OfficialNewell selling Team Fortress 2 virtual hats a bit 😅
Replying to @levelsio
I need to figure out some strategy to get it to $10,000/month stable though The MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN hat has potential to be viral I think

In 3 to 5 years from now, there will be companies that will recruit people with the promise they will interact with real people only... 🔄
If this is your so-called bright, AI-driven future, count me out.

Overal pepernoten. Maar nergens laarzen. Duidelijk de verkeerde herfst-prioriteiten bij de winkels

Lange reizen per trein in Europa. Het kan. Het is alleen onwijs rot geregeld en veel duurder dan vliegen. Leuke vlog/mini-docu

XML and XML namespaces are things I still have to deal with in 2024. What a time to be alive!

Iets kijken in je browser op NPO Start is echt niet te doen. De video is of te klein, of full screen... Tip: @PubliekeOmroep , laat je inspireren door YT's "theater mode"

Looks like the composer installer is broken at the moment, which means any kind of PHP based CI is likely to fail.
