@j_berden Het verandert wel onze club. Ze gingen met 27 - toen met 24 - gravenberch met 20/21. Nu 18. We zijn een opleidingsclub voor focking Newcastle en Sunderland. Slecht voor Ajax en wat slecht is voor Ajax is slecht voor voetbal.

@mkeulemans @talithamuusse Hij klaagt over gebrek aan aandacht, maar het echte probleem is dat half Nederland naar zo'n patjepeeër luistert. En dan krijg je als land wat je verdient.

@RpsAgainstTrump @g900ap Trump is a threat to the US, far less to the free world.

Trump's Oval Office event concluded with an extended riff about "the reflecting pond" in which he accused "a member or big payer to ActBlue" of "getting in there with a knife and cutting it and ripping the floor out."

Sounds legit!

Here's his whole rant, which needs to be seen unfiltered to be believed:

ANTHROPIC ACCUSED ALIBABA OF UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ITS AI MODELS, OUTLINING ITS ALLEGATIONS IN LETTERS SENT TO U.S. SENATORS AND THE WHITE HOUSE AMID GROWING U.S.-CHINA TENSIONS OVER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE CLAIMS WERE COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY TO U.S. OFFICIALS, WHILE ALIBABA DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THE ALLEGATIONS, POTENTIALLY RAISING FURTHER SCRUTINY OF CROSS-BORDER AI COMPETITION AND TECHNOLOGY SECURITY.

One piece of advice we got during YC was to explain our company using verbs instead of nouns.

Early on, I walked into a meeting and did the opposite:

“We’re building a cloud platform for AI”

No one knew that that meant, their eyes glazed over. Then I started saying this instead:

“We containerize your code and run it on GPUs in the cloud so you don’t have to manage the infra yourself”

That clicked way more. Our brains understand verbs because they’re more concrete. If you describe your company using nouns, you risk people not understanding you.

And no one buys or invests in things they don’t understand.

@Noahpinion My best guesses: 1) calculating excess mortality (EU) vs tracking of death certificate (US). 2) AC's will be more common since temperature is rising quite quickly - south of europe AC quite common, North becoming more common by the year)

@bgroothuis We beginnen met verplichting tot 40 miljard chip aankopen. En er is behoorlijke druk uitgeoefend door VS. Dat lijkt wel heel erg een eerder gesloten niet zo goede trade deal.
