The EU is one of the great achievements of the last decades despite its flaws.
“74% of Europeans think the EU serves their own country well” (and they’re right :-)
20 years ago plans for an EU "constitution" fell apart as French and Dutch voters voted against.
It felt like a catastrophe at the time. But I argue it resulted in a better union. My Charlemagne this week:

There's so much polarization around LLMs. They are way overhyped, I agree. But I also use them semi-regularly now.
Here's a thread of genuine use cases where I find them helpful. Please add your own!

As I continue to preach my clients:
Any US technology platform is, at the very least, a political risk.
And your organization may become collateral damage to executive orders.
Governments: divest Azure, AWS, Google. Or you may become digital hostages at a whim.

Mircosoft's decision to block access to International Criminal Court Prosecutor Khan's mail - per Trump request - leads to fundamental questions: Could the Netherlands (and its public administration) survive without Microsoft? The answer is probably not...

Techbedrijf aan de leiband van Trump – kan Nederland nog wel zonder Microsoft?
Techgigant Microsoft moet naar Donald Trumps pijpen dansen. De Nederlandse afhankelijkheid van Microsoft-systemen wordt in toenemende mate riskant, zoals blijkt bij het Internationaal Strafhof.

The more skilled you are at a given task, the less useful you’re likely to find LLMs for said task. It’s not that every LLM detractor has never used a LLM before, it’s more likely you’re just bad enough that the LLM seems good in comparison.

“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

My extremely hot take is that the Trump Administration is not intentionally making stocks go down and that this kind of conspiracism both gives them far too much credit and everyone else not enough.
Get people in dire financial straits. They’re much easier to control that way. Then add a shock to the system, and they’ll hand over all their rights without a fight. None of this is accidental.

Us developers have learned the hard way that:
1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done
2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea
Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn - soon
