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...

Cheap Opus 5?
That's true, produced massive last few days with it. No limits yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/CjBXlkvAt6
Maybe it feels that way after Fabel.
https://claude.com/blog/the-new-rules-of-context-engineering-for-claude-5-generation-models. Yes, the new model writes more comments indeed. 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.
Ah cmon, "write me a Windows 11" he said without shake. Guess what, it nailed it and hard. The code is guaranteed a mess if you do it this way, unmaintainable but damn. It has even a Spotify app, word (all features you need), excel (with formulas) :

Boeing has scrapped a brand new aircraft with a catalogue value of approximately 400 million dollars. Stephanie Pope, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, made the announcement at the Farnborough Airshow. The aircraft is a Boeing 777X, the successor to the famous Triple Seven.
Years of certification...
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!

What do you think? Discuss on DevPlace.
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

Cat Oscar Doesn't Wait for Firefighters and Leaps from Ten Meters High

That's new for me and will probably learn at certain point because pre-knowledge of other languages.
Why Your Weather Apps All Disagree by Up to 7 Degrees

Youth Literacy in Freefall as Netherlands Slides Below European Average
The Netherlands is heading toward a "class of mediocrity" as young people lose the ability to read and write properly, warns Jelle van Baardewijk, a university lecturer and author speaking on the WNL podcast Onze Eeuw.

The Netherlands is heading toward a "class of mediocrity"
Wasn't this always the case with the "zesjescultuur"? @retoor
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.
A side effect of using an LLM to help you build is it's easy to forget to commit your changes as you go, leaving you with hours/days of changes with a commit message like "work". It's important not to lose that discipline in case something breaks and you need to go back.
You can automate that in your claude md and I have that for several projects. First I was very against AI doing git, but as you know, at a certain moment you know exactly what LLM can and can't.
But good for mentioning, I will automate this for devplace as well.
Part of my problem is I didn't expect to use the LLM as much as I did. Small tweaks turned into giant features the more I trusted it and I just forgot to commit between changes. I'm getting back in the habit, but now the project's history is forever a mess.
Yeah, happens much with LLM development. It requires full-time management and taking maintenance into account when doing stuff. This is my first quite big project that is developed for so long using an LLM. Since it's public-facing and open source, I'm extra motivated to do well.
But indeed, it starts with a little bit fix here and there, then you gain trust and it goes: prrrrr, failure, prrrrr, prrrr, prrrrr - success, hopefully.
But when an LLM did implement something bad, it has a hard time to recover from it because it always autocompletes. I had something weird in the chat function of this site, and whatever I did, it kept giving bad result - while a chat is not so hard to make for that thing.
Dubai Offers Residents $750 Gift Packages for Recruiting Tourists
Dubai has launched a program offering residents gift packages worth over 700 euros if they successfully persuade tourists to visit the Gulf state.
Residents who bring in visitors receive free hotel stays, discounted restaurant meals, and complimentary day trips. The tourists must travel to Dubai...
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.
Thank you, WordPress, for vibecoding a remote admin account creation bug that kept me occupied for 16 hours yesterday. Every time I work with WordPress, my soul shrivels just a bit more.
The only way to secure WordPress is a reverse proxy in front of it that requires basic auth for all non-get/head requests π
I'm not sure if that was a joke, but that's brilliant.
It's both π. Maybe, create that proxy server and become famous as the guy that secured WordPress once and for all.

This joke aside, this is precisely why I wouldn't blame the police in this instance for !finding the missing persons. Sometimes your hardware just sucks. https://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/139842647151/dealing-with-substandard-hardware .

Arsonists in Italy Used Live Cats as Kindling to Start Forest Fires
Italian authorities have launched an investigation after arsonists in southern Italy used live cats as "living kindling" to start devastating forest fires.
The method is as brutal as it is effective. Cats were found with rags soaked in flammable liquid tied to their tails. The rags were set alight...
Only one way to find out.
You bring gasoline, I bring a rag, @niggel brings cat.
Meet us in the woods within an hour.
Bring video camera.
Good call w/ the camera. 'Never happened' unless we have proof.
Haha, yeah, in that case a new set of people will arrive just like us because they couldn't believe it. We will end this for ever.
Plot twist: cat explodes.
Can't believe I have to start working on this site to fix the issues π

Every good idea was done a long time ago by people smarter than us. See how long that old Internet keeps scaling. Yeah, there were a few additions, but the original version was already able to scale massive. And now we're all typing on Google "how to scale" and go for AWS. We've made a long terrible way.
Wow, you're right, this is not a good idea at all.
Also, the art of autonomous vehicles is that they understand our signals.
If we would customise the infrastructure, what would be the fun of that.
If that was an option, the complete autonomous vehicle would be radically different (and better maybe).
Maybe, because you can't chip pedestrians or whatever or have different sensors for it.
I just realise infrared.
Yup. This doesn't seem like a good idea to me, also. Looking forward to tomorrow's news about some accident related to that.

Company Ordered to Pay β¬367,000 After Firing Secretary Because the Boss Disliked Her

The woman had worked for the company since 1998 as an executive secretary, also handling HR administration, fleet management, and...
I agree to this. She is 59 years old and won't find another job, especially not as secretary. And it was for a NEW boss.
Looks like the employer had been malicious towards her. That aside, !liking someone is !a reason to fire them.

Dog from Dutch Town Eats Six Pairs of Underwear, Vomits Them All Back Up

Doggos are almost perfect, except for their fetish for poo. Probably very dirty underwear. They can eat horse shit (they love it) with no problem.
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.
