“This Is Not The Computer For You” · Sam Henri Gold Sam Henri Gold is a product design engineer building playful, useful software.

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Oorlogsdrones bouwen in een museum: ‘Het is een beetje Lego voor gevorderden’ In een museum in Groenlo worden de komende tijd niet alleen verhalen verteld over oorlog. Bezoekers bouwen er ook drones die uiteindelijk naar Oekraïne gaan. Het gebeurt in het Nationaal Museum Tachtigjarige Oorlog (NMTO), waar een nieuwe tentoonstelling over de oorlog in Oekraïne te zien is.

Il a neigé ici il y a deux mois, puis il a beaucoup plu. Rien à voir avec la Californie. Les gens ont continué à faire du vélo malgré tout.

Praat mee: moet de galg weer terug in het strafrecht? Moeten mannen die niet van adel zijn eigenlijk wel mogen stemmen? Moeten we onze oudste zonen offeren op een altaar?

I never really got to know her, but heard a lot of great stories. E&W who we’ll be visiting Sunday knew her well.

Nog dichter bij de afgrond
Nog dichter op het vuur
En het wordt alleen maar erger met het uur

Bommen voor de vrede
Leugens om het geld
En wij moeten betalen
Ook al had je niks besteld
Waar halen ze de lef
En de gore moed vandaan
Lief trek iets moois aan
Dan gaan we dansen dansen dansen

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.

We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Looks like another anti women postcard that unintentionally exposed the boys by showing that they feared women treating them the way they treated women.

Joy Beune verslaat Jenning de Boo in veelbesproken battle of the sexes op 3 kilometer Het begon als een grap, maar in Leeuwarden werd het vanavond pure ernst tussen Joy Beune en Jenning de Boo, die tegen elkaar een drie kilometer reden. Beune haalde De Boo in vlak voor de streep.

Femke Kok en Stijn van de Bunt stonden als gelegenheidscoaches op het ijs, Kjeld Nuis deed live commentaar via Instagram, Jordan Stolz gaf de laatste adviezen en Marcel Bosker fungeerde als perschef.

Editor: Go to Maastricht and write about local elections.

Iran should state publicly that it will consider ending this war, which it can do any time it wants, when regime change has been achieved in Israel and the U.S. They should call on Israeli and U.S. citizens to take this into their own hands to end this war.

It also works the other way: when more people walk or cycle, the number of cars is reduced automatically.

They do translation passably, for broad functions.

They are NOT good at technical translations, esp. where there are apparently similar “common” language and “field specific”.

Look at the problems people have with “actual malice” when discussing libel/defamation.

me: so octopuses…

student: do you mean octopi?

other professor: oh no you didn’t

student: I TAKE IT BACK

me: so, in English, we borrow not only WORDS, but MORPHOLOGIES, and since octopus is a Greek word borrowed into Latin borrowed into English…

I wonder why they made it only single-layer, instead of the two-tiered racks you see everywhere in Dutch station bike parkings.

Small reminder.

Women currently have more legal rights in Iran than in Saudi Arabia.

This does not mean we support the Iranian regime.

We wish democracy for the people of Iran and freedom for Iranian women. We wish the same for the people and women of Saudi Arabia.

Perspective matters.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

In my understanding this is mainly so that the teachers can easily keep track of everyone in the group (since no-one else around will be wearing hi-viz)
