@umeshchhikara @mike_behr_ Boomers prioritised cardio. Millennials now know muscle mass is equally important for longevity.

@boss_calvin @ninanino316 @qwacqwacmf @pootsobotka Golden Goose is an entire brand of high quality predistressed shoes.

@enghumanista @HonusWenger @aibytekat What do you mean? You don’t think mating dances are a performance? That things like an anthill or beaverdam are structures?

@NikaJabi @pejorativefree @aibytekat All creativity is just blending, distilling , and adding some unique noise to existing patterns. Blending is inspiration, distilling is mastering, and adding noise is making something unique. Beneath it all it’s just mathematics.

@HonusWenger @aibytekat How the goal post moves. 10 years ago the goalpost was the Turing test. After that, it was real life images. Now it is acclaimed art.

I think we overestimate our capabilities as humans. What we do and produce is not as special as we think it is.

@MatthewParrott @DavidARidley @waitbutwhy @elonmusk 3 years ago, AI in my IDE was just intellisense on steroids. Today it’s doing most of my work.

3 years ago, Ai made a crappy Will Smith eating spaghetti clip, today it’s generates clips that most people have trouble recognising it’s AI.

@Hazezor @Hauerg @ElysiumEffect @elonmusk @vonderleyen It’s good like it is now. Coalitions with biggest representation wins. It makes for more nuanced politics. We should not optimize for decisiveness or fast growth, but for sustainability. Uncontrolled growth and extreme views are like cancer.

@pjotertje @KurtLuyten @FranckenTheo @BelgiumDefence Vind het anders toch schrikwekkend dat ons leger niet eens een amateurdrone kan stoppen boven een ‘sterk beveiligde’ militaire basis met kernkoppen.

@Just_Pedder @RjeyTech Yes. And that’s valid. Most Apple users don’t care to be the early adopters. They prefer stability and quality. When the technology is ready and matured, they are willing to join in. Apple is always a bit late to the game.

@robinkunz_ @m_preibisch @levelsio No nonsense software with just the right amount of power features. Dual pane for fast browsing, integrated zip and ftp support, batch renaming, etc etc. Everything you wish as a power user for file management.

@garland_key @trashh_dev ‘Git pull origin targetbranch’ too hard for you?

@dotproductt Because we are cleaning up the mess you young guys made.

@haider1 I thought you would be full time in the metaverse by now.

@squarespace How can a 10 billion dollar valued WEBDEVELOPMENT company not be able to send invoice to my e-mail, and not even be able to *DOWNLOAD* correctly formatted invoices in Safari? That's unacceptable.

@devinmakesmusic @nelsonstrength @bryan_johnson @Cobratate And you would bare-knuckle fight a thief that could very plausibly have a knife or gun on him? 👌

[Peter Briers @pbriers]

@nelsonstrength @devinmakesmusic @bryan_johnson @Cobratate Are you a hunter-gatherer? Protecting / defending your family is done by being there, giving love, and helping monetarily. Not by clobbering another man’s brains. Should a frail, old or disabled man not have a family? You might have a bit too much T. :)

@cherub_bimbo @straightbanan12 @itsrapha83 Lento is an excellent vegan restaurant. Boulebaar is very nice for lunch. Botermarkt has a bunch of nice restaurants as well. Dwaallicht, Hemelrijck and De Kleine Hal are local cafes in the center worth a visit. Also lots of fashion stores.

@cherub_bimbo @straightbanan12 @itsrapha83 Hasselt isn’t really a city, it’s a big town. There is enough to do, while it doesn’t have the anonymity of a big city. Because of this I think it is quite nice to live in. Things to visit: the dorpsstraat for nice local shops. Kadettenplein for a small cosy Christmas village
