Vorige week stond Jetten bij de Algemene Beschouwingen nog te verkondigen dat er met de grootste spoed over de begroting moest worden gesproken. Dag en nacht doorwerken, beloofde hij. Een week later ligt het overleg met de oppositie stil en zit de premier in het vliegtuig naar New York. Zo urgent was het dus. Een minderheidskabinet dat op omvallen staat, en een premier die liever poseert bij de VN dan dat hij in Den Haag zijn werk doet. Grote bek in de Kamer, lege agenda daarna. dagelijksestandaard.nl/polit…

Today is the 10 year anniversary of Founders. It’s my life’s work. Thank you for listening.

Enterprise data + training will eventually be one problem, not two separate services.

A major coordinated sabotage attack was just carried out against railway infrastructure in at more than 20 locations in the Netherlands. Large 2 meter-long metal pipes were deliberately attached to the tracks, triggering track-circuit and safety system failures by tricking the grid's computers into registering that the tracks were blocked. Some of the attacked railway lines include: Amersfoort – Zwolle
Zwolle – Leeuwarden Utrecht – Arnhem Arnhem – Zutphen Amersfoort–Deventer Gouda–Oudewater

Mark, by @colossusjeremy. This is a story about the head of history's largest nonterritorial empire, who nonetheless remains a prisoner of his rivals. Has he finally found a way out? The profile has been nearly a year in the making. Stern interviewed three dozen people, including Zuckerberg, his MMA coach, and his critics and competitors at the frontier AI labs. He spoke with his parents, Karen and Ed, and watched their son get punched in the face. The story spans Meta HQ in Menlo Park, the Zuckerbergs' homes in Palo Alto and Lake Tahoe, and a party in a Manhattan warehouse with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. There is also a sneak peek of Aaron Sorkin's forthcoming sequel about Zuckerberg, sourced via a Hollywood fixer Stern first encountered in Russia. The result is a profile unlike one you've read before. colossus.com/article/mark-zu…

Resterende Groningse gasvoorraad dit jaar alleen al €260 MILJARD (dat is ca. €30.000 per NL huishouden) extra waard geworden. Ondertussen zit half NL met een onbetaalbare energierekening en worden de gasputten volgestort met beton. Krankzinnig wanbeleid!

Dat heb ik helemaal niet gezegd. Ik zei dat er een economische strijd is in de wereld om dominantie in technologie en AI, waarbij in China 72 uur wordt gewerkt. Hier zie ik dat veel jonge mensen hard (willen) werken, maar ook veel jonge mensen (gezond, geen kinderen) maar 3 of 4 dagen willen werken. Wat mij betreft is 5 dagen in de week vaker de norm. En ja, dan moeten we zorgen dat meer werken meer loont. Dat door te investeren de productiviteit omhoog gaat. En dat we meer huizen bouwen, zodat jonge mensen sneller een huis kunnen kopen. Dát is mijn verhaal in een notendop. Leer eerst eens luisteren voordat je zo hard over anderen oordeelt. Dit komt de kwaliteit van de discussie niet ten goede.

I'm hiring for Eurobrain's Operations team in Amsterdam! ($10k Referral) This is one of our most important roles as we continue to build the benchmarks, and deliver the data, that helps frontier labs do incredibly complex work. If you know someone or are interested, DM me!

That’s right: “Economic sovereignty is built long before a trade negotiation begins. It happens when someone starts a company in Toronto rather than moving it to Silicon Valley. When that company can raise enough capital to remain Canadian. When it scales from 100 employees to 10,000. When its founders become investors and finance the next generation. When Canadian companies own technology, brands, intellectual property, manufacturing capacity and supply chains that the rest of the world actually needs.” financialpost.com/opinion/ca…

Very cool writeup by @mirrorphysics about how they are using @modal for drug discovery. We're seeing a ton of growth in computational bio. mirrorphysics.substack.com/p… Who knows, maybe one day I'll be taking drugs that were found on a Modal GPU.

Training tiny models for special purpose use cases works so incredibly well if you have a great self improving recursive flywheel. Shopify ML team is on fire. finetuned 0.8b model beats GPT 5.6-sol xhigh in this very specialized task.

I moved to Stockholm 2 weeks ago and on my 10 min walk to the Lovable office I casually pass Spotify, Klarna, Northzone, Legora and a bunch of startups being built in between. Sweden might actually be cooking.

It is a moral obligation as a European, to try and push our continent into a more positive future

This is a picture of Estée Lauder getting one step closer to her life’s goal: Set The World Record For Face Touching From her autobiography: "All of this annoyed my father considerably. "Stop fiddling with other people's faces," he'd say. But that is what I liked to do-touch other people's faces, no matter who they were, touch them and make them pretty. Before l'm finished, I'll set the world's record for face touching."
