US and Chinese LLM companies reached the place they have by canibalising global knowledge , including copyright content. They should be lenient if EU companies attempt the same.

Landed in Saigon. The new QR code to expedite immigration has, unsurprisingly, no effect in immigration time. I also always underestimate the heat and humidity.

I went this morning to the doctor for a medical recognition. He weighted me, and told me that my BMI says I am obese. He did a bit of theater, broke the paper and told me the BMI is bullshit. I weight 80 kg, 174 centimeters. Right at the start of obesity. I run ultra marathons, go to the gym regularly and generally take the bike twice per day. BMI just checks the relationship between weight and height. According to this, a body builder is probably morbidly obese.

As much as I love Vietnam, some of the subtle authoritarian quirks still piss me off. Last government rule: if you stay overnight at a friend’s place, you&#39;re required to register it through the government app. Sure, it’s mostly symbolic since it&#39;s virtually impossible to enforce, but it’s a telling example of the surveillance mindset you occasionally run into.

Finished a half marathon in Azuqueca, Spain. Feeling much better than I felt at the Innsbruck Ultra last weekend. You can’t skip training if you want to run properly. #running

I am keeping the @kotlinweekly AI free, and it is honestly my little moment of joy on Sunday morning: searching articles, updating my TODO list, checking announcements, and doing a bit of a write-up. Could I automate all this with AI? Yes. Would it make my life better, or provide more value to readers? Probably not.

I wish I could have a European broker doing something like this. I have some open Covered Calls on a stock that will have a dividend ex date on Friday. The CC expires also on Friday. I get an email advising me about the situation, in case I want to operate with my option. If we want to have European financial sovereignty, the first step would be to have a functional European broker. #finance #investing

&quot;There Is No Antimemetics Division&quot;&quot; didn&#39;t resonate too much with me. I think the error was to read the book BEFORE actually reading the short stories or watching the short SCP movies. I went down the rabbit hole of short horror movies, and they are awesome.
