For years I thought the Greek and Roman obsession with public virtue was kind of a scam but now I understand why they valued it so highly, tyranny is indeed pretty bad

Als iets het afgelopen jaar is bewezen (en afgelopen vrijdag opnieuw): in de politiek, maar ook bij de kiezer, is het besef vervaagd dat partijen niet voor zichzelf regeren, maar voor het land. Voor alle Nederlanders, om precies te zijn

Today I work in commercial pipefitting, and keeping an eye on construction indicators. There are some bad ones as cuts to research and university funding eat into client side funding, but tariffs have added sticker shock to projects. Six months ago, 6" S10 stainless pipe was $13/ft. Now it's $30/ft.

Brunswijk, 18 april 1806. Bij avond begeeft de begrafenisstoet van prins Willem V van Oranje zich naar de Dom waar hij wordt begraven. Pas in april 1958 wordt de prins in Delft herbegraven. Prinses Wilhelmina is er niet bij, omdat ze niet ‘achter de kist van een sufferd’ wil lopen.

Transpacific trade is already seizing up because of the tariffs.
Three weeks ago, about 60,000 TEU (a measure of container volume) were scheduled to be "blanked" from April 16-May 10 (cancelled voyages/stops at a port). Now the figure is *367,800*

okay but for real: how does OpenAI, as an entity, make it to Spring 2026? They only got $10bn of funding until the end of the year, they’re running out of compute, they need to become a for-profit by EoY or they lose $10bn from the remaining $30bn funding, if it even arrives…

I blocked someone on Substack who was "just asking questions" about whether they should be using AI to "speed up their writing process."
Just for research! And outlines?
Sure sure. Just using the Death machine a little bit? I'm sure that's fine.
We're so fucked.
