A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Op koude dagen is veel gas nodig voor verwarming van gebouwen. Koude dagen komen echter weinig voor. Slechts 12% van al het 'warmte-gas' wordt gebruikt op dagen met een dagtemperatuur <0 oC.
Hybride warmtepompen besparen daarom relatief veel gas.

If you see something highly technical or that’s usually the domain of professionals with decades of experience, and say to yourself “that doesn’t make sense” your next thought should be “what am I missing?” not “let me tell them why they are wrong”

This weekend I wrote a post on which AI to use right now (at least for general, individual users). Model strength may matter less to most users than the capabilities of the apps and the other features that each model includes. It is a little complicated.

If this would a commercial on TV I wouldn't have bat an eye. Insane how quickly AI video generation has developed.
Also includes the ultimate version of "otter on a plane using wifi" - my old test for AI image models that is now obsolete because this is a trivial thing for all image generators. Thus, I turned it into a video with veo 2.

If you live in a different time zone than where you were born, there’s actually a real chance that you weren’t born on your birthday.

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

"Kiezers zijn nu eenmaal niet fijntjes gekalibreerd op de mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van beleid. Het gaat ze om een gevoel van richting; GroenLinks is meer voor milieu dan de PvdA, de PVV wil meer doen aan asielmigratie dan de VVD."

Democratie is gewoon een vibe check. Altijd al geweest.
Waarom links steeds verkiezingen verliest (en nee, niet omdat de kiezer links niet begrijpt)
Links gaat de verkiezingen niet winnen door het de kiezer nóg een keer uit te leggen. Die begrijpt dondersgoed waar links voor staat – en dat bevalt hem niet.

What's the lesson when people 3800 years after your death still remember you for your bad business practice? They make memes about EA-Nasir. And there is a whole subreddit about his low quality copper.

Just don't sell shitty copper.
