EU Strangles Its Own Farmers While Importing Hormone Beef and Salmonella Chicken
For Dutch farmers, Brussels has satellite surveillance, nitrogen models, manure accounting, nature permits, inspectors, and steep fines. Every animal is registered. Every hectare is screened. Every manure truck is tracked. One administrative error can destroy a family farm that has existed for gener...
We ironically claim that we have the best farmers in the world. It's possible, they're playing the game on hard mode after all. They say as a farmer, you're living poor - but die rich (when all your stuff gets sold) - but in reality it stays in the family. Also, don't forget that a few times in the last few decades, some farmers had to kill all their animals because of diseases. Some farmers switched to wrong animals and had bad luck three times.
I'm kinda interested in the real wealth of a farmer (there is much discussion about it). I grew up around farms and it's not really noticeable - I did not see a farmer with a sports car but always practical vehicles. I personally think that a farmer only has their farm.
I do not think any farmer is really doing it for the money. It's freedom in a certain way, but you're stuck in your farm. It's complicated.

Wow, something is cheaper than a billion these days. Wow.
Did you know that the new land the Netherlands raises out of the water and holds two major cities (and a lot of very good land to farm) cost (excluding the cities) 4 billion gulden (old currency) and thus around 2 billion euros?
Thatβs what you could do with a few billion. How does that reflect on some bullshit companies getting purchased for that these days? Itβs enough money to expand a country!

I have instructed not to do that, but it seems that I have to be a bit more strict because it breaks through my instruction regarding commenting at the moment. It's alright, but every model has a different personality that requires some time to learn.

It will probably be on fireworks.ai and deepinfra in a week
Their Web interface is actually quite cool. I subscribed there for a few times. From that platform I got the idea on how to generate books. Also, the swarm concept of DevPlace Code is from their site. It's amazingly done. Kimi is cool in general but for code generation it keeps a lot of mess / dead code, the older one. If you want to see a very based TUI, take theirs π

Yes indeed! Yes indeed! It's very deep in society. You're kind of forced to join it. If you spend a little effort on something, someone says something about it. I'm not kidding in any way. What good chips we would've had if ASML was in a different country.

retoor - 4.15M down to 56,795. Seven Security Fortresses in the ground, an ML Pipeline
cooking, two golden crops, and an empty treasury.

m30n - +44 million this cycle, twelve Kernels sitting ready and unharvested. One is 66%
raided. Does not care.

donkulator - 862M to 86.8M, but that is a prestige reset. 420 β 421, rebuilding with maxed
multipliers.

Wojtek322 - 2,142 coins to 381,443 in one cycle. Eleven ready Kernels, every one stealable,
21,735 per steal. Harvest them.

The old guard is bleeding, the middle class is launching, and a phoenix has risen from the ashes.

Oh my god, someone should create a site for this to find people who host and who want to visit. To match them. Inviting friends could be your job.
But this is really smart. They know how to do stuff. But does the average citizen there care about 700,-? They're already rich and don't have to pay taxes.
But it's good for everything. Even to find people to move to there. Everything is stimulated. My park should do the same. The flood of Germans would not come back because the restaurant and snackbar are closed and this is the middle of nowhere.

One screenshot. It is displaying my tree technology. It's a method that enables scaling for huge tickets, whatever the size of a project, the context window will be small. That makes this build system able to build unlimited and for days.

We should ask snek if that's true, because I don't think so π But I don't know how to phrase it to our innocent blue space friend.
If you own the box set && digitize it that thing lasts you way longer than those 50 grams. Discs by themselves are also quite resilient, so digitization isn't exactly necessary, but it's more convenient to watch.

It will comment everything what I wouldn't understand. But I think that's the point π. But yeah, for sure! That's a smart idea. Maybe llms should not make you stupid and it's person dependent. I dunno, I know that I look up things more than ever. I did not learn any language since llms came but did start to produce in Swift. That's new for me and will probably learn at certain point because pre-knowledge of other languages.

I hate game UI work...
Why not invent your own UI library? That's the power of AI. You can produce literally everything in your own design, but what would normally be too big. It's like you wrote it yourself on a good day, but just extremely fast.
I'm really just not interested in the noise. I wish there was a middle ground between embedding Chromium and reinventing the UI language wheel a millionth time.
It is noise if the project is part of your project, but if you make a separate library of component of it, it's basically not noise. DENOISIFY!!
Oh my god, I have to review this all. These are all the pull requests the autonomous build system did create.
Oh fuck no, I gonna sleep. Good night.
Sounds like a chore.
Yeah and they have all merge issues what that system does not allow to fix yet. So waiting for new system. This is maybe all for nothing.
Someone should do something about this. I wish there was a procedure to make it happen.
@retoor @blindxfish
I'll open an issue ticket
https://devplace.net/issues/150
It only addresses the issue with the missing link, not the edit issue.
@blindxfish feel free to make an extra ticket for that.
That's the procedure indeed. Yeah, it takes some time before the autonomous build system works. I expected it to be more challenging financial, but in reality, it is time. For example, having the tests broken will affect every ticket. Every ticket builds an hour. Repairing a build can cost two hours and before you know it, you're a day further. It is an autonomous development team that comes with basically the same issues / limitations as with working with a team in real life. At this point, i could've done it all myself better and faster. But i'm investing. The build system is project agnostic, so it is a complete product on the side. Critical bugs i will just do myself indeed.
Oh even worse, i just realize that most tickets are picked up by old system. Chaos. First system was a successful POC made me believe it can be real.
