@CooperZurad imagine you shipped a clock with L44l batteries, but 4 days later the cell batteries aren't produced anymore and you have to switch to wired power for some reason. also some guy has figured out how to astral-project through the clock to steal your customers' money

Zlonamerna spletna mesta, kot so LibGen, Z-Library in Sci-Hub, so piratsko ukradla milijone knjig in akademskih člankov.

Zaprli so jih povsem upravičeno.

Takšnih knjižnic res ne bi smeli uporabljati. Veliko bolje je še naprej bogatiti akademske založnike, ki že zdaj komaj preživijo z milijardnimi prihodki.

Do teh knjižnic zato nikar ne dostopaj tako:

Nikakor ne odpri open-slum[.]org.

Tam so povezave do LibGena, Anninega arhiva, Z-Libraryja in Sci-Huba.

Nobene povezave ne klikni, ker te pripelje do želene knjižnice.

In nikar ne vpiši naslova knjige, ki bi jo rad prebral, čeprav stran na prvi pogled namiguje prav na to.

Not sure if this estimation thing will be trained out over future model versions, once they become aware that they reduce it by 90+%. Maybe model collapse is when Claude becomes aware it can 1-shot most anything in a few hours.

@SoundCloud space no longer pauses music on the web. I don't like your redesign, but don't break the world's most basic assumption about media players while you're at it.

Not many people know about it, but you can pay <20% in taxes in Slovenia as a Tech Worker:

"Normirani s.p." (Flat-Rate Sole Proprietorship)

What is it?

A radically simplified tax system for freelancers and solo entrepreneurs:
• 4% effective income tax on your first €60,000
• 20% effective income tax on everything between €60,000 and €120,000

Works only if you operate under a full-time sole proprietorship ("Polni s.p."), and you are forced into standard taxation if your average revenue exceeds €120,000 over two years.

Profit margins are calculated "automatically":
• You can't deduct business expenses
• Instead: 80% of your first €60k in revenue is automatically considered "expenses" (tax-free)
• Any revenue above €60k has 0% recognized expenses

Then, you pay a flat 20% income tax on that calculated taxable base.

On top of this, you also need to pay social security: called "Prispevki", in Slovenia.
• It covers healthcare, pension, and long-term care
• The amount scales based on your previous year's profit
• It is paid monthly, and acts as a cap on how low your taxes can go

Some example math at €60k revenue:

• Taxable base: €60k – 80% recognized expenses = €12,000

• Social Security (yearly estimate) = ~€8,100
• Income tax (20% on €12,000 base) = €2,400
• Total burden = ~€10,500 (~17.5% of gross)

---

Some example math at €80k revenue:

• Taxable base: €12k (from first 60k) + €20k (from the next 20k) = €32,000

• Social Security (yearly estimate) = ~€11,400
• Income tax (20% on €32,000 base) = €6,400
• Total burden = ~€17,800 (~22% of gross)

---

At other income levels, it scales predictably:

• ~16% total burden at €50k
• ~28% total burden at €100k

---

It's not single-digit tax rates.

But: 17.5% at €60k, and 22% at €80k total tax...
It's a great deal for Europe!

The €120k revenue cap will be low for senior high-paid remote workers (the types that land jobs on EuroTopTech . com).

But there's a clear segment of people for which this is an interesting proposition:

• Remote worker making 50-100k per year (finding work on Forfettariato . com)

• Prioritising WLB, nature, and extreme safety
• Living in Maribor, Kranj, or some other good value Slovenian towns, or even in the capital Ljubljana

Not a bad life.

Slovenia is considered to be one of the best value, best life quality options in Europe.

And it's a country that works fairly well, with a good trajectory.

Real estate in Slovenia outside of Ljubljana is also very affordable.

Save some money working remotely, move to Slovenia with a Normirani s.p., buy a house, live near the Alps or the Mediterranean, and enjoy one of the safest, greenest lifestyles in the world while working a chill job.

3.5-5.5k euros per month net gets you very far in Slovenia.

If I had to summarize my experience with #OpenClaw in one screenshot. Still fun though 😅

[Demjan @VesterDe]

In January, 2.2 million #github issues were opened, in February, 2.5 million. March... 4.6 million.

[Demjan @VesterDe]

.@bcherny do you never have the need to have some files in .gitignore, but also have claude code treat them like regular files... There's some mention of a .claudeignore file in issues, but I'd need !my-files in that to get what I want.

Do you think people living through the 70s, 80s, 90s thought their era was a weird as our era is to us?

Can't really blame @github for barely holding onto its servers, the slop is hitting it hard, and it's accelerating. Between March 2023 and 2024, new repos per month went from 3.9M to 4.8M, this March it's 8M (with a day to spare). Issues per month are up 2x YoY, PRs as well, commits went from 120M to 190M YoY.
