Thankfully Wise let me open account with UK number so I can actually send and receive money, but they don't offer joint accounts.

Renting an apartment wasn't easier, I had to produce a lot of documents (and they asked me for a bank account, Catch-22!)

I've just moved in to my new apartment and I'm trying to set up an account to pay for my bills and everything. 2 banks rejected tenancy agreement as my proof, 1 rejected internet bill, @monzo.com just said "no" and that's it.

I just need a simple joint account with my wife but it seems impossible

Dziwię się że wciąż są ponad $3T market cap, bo od jakiegoś czasu nie ma motywacji żeby częściej wymieniać ich hardware. Siri to wciąż żart, będą straty po utracie monopolu na płatności w appkach, nie wierzę że pokażą coś wyjątkowego w tym roku

Popieram, też bym nie jadł

uuu, aż tak źle? Braki w katalogu czy słabe UX?

U mnie Spotify dla 2 osób drożeje z €18 na €22, rozważam zmianę na Apple Music

At this point there's a chanse I would have done it faster manually.

The teacher said "how Jesus, so tired that he fainted, could get up, move the heavy rock to open the grave, and leave?"

To which I said "to be fair, what's more probable: that Jesus fainted, got up, and left, or that he died, got up, and left?"

1 minute later I was outside the classroom

This. Employee happiness and engagement is a consequence, it doesn’t magically appear

We might see it in NL soon as well: nltimes.nl/2025/01/29/d...

And it's probable we won't survive even the next few thousands, so it's understandable that there are no civilizations that:
* survived long enough to travel freely across universe
* happen to live close enough to us to pass by
* and whose presence we would be able to notice

What I mean is that on average people cannot distinguish facts from lies, they believe simple but wrong slogans more than complex but accurate explanations.

As a specie we've been on earth for ~150,000 years, which is not even a blink of an eye in the age of universe (0.001%)

We are unable to deal with the threat from within: the people who are willing to sacrifice millions of lives for the sake of their own wealth. Instead we chose these charlatans as our leaders. And we don't learn our lessons.

It's possible we reached maximum complexity we can handle as a civiliation

The whole Apple Intelligence rollout is a mess. I don’t even have access to it in EU and still it makes my iPhone experience worse. Here’s what I see when I go go my setting and start looking for “messages”

Other countries struggle with it, too. In the Netherlands they’re much more effective but also there’s only so much a single teacher or caregiver can do, so the cost of education and healthcare goes up (either by increasing prices or taxes)

Omg I’ve always known of that phenomenon but didn’t know it had a name, good to know!

These tools can really boost productivity, but people need invest time in learning them. Throwing them at users and saying “here you go, use it” is not helpful, people will just be disappointed by the limitations and quirks of LLMs
