My weekend project is turning into something really cool

🇵🇱 Okay my final Poland video because we're leaving soon! It was really fun and we had a great time I liked Warsaw most to be honest, a very modern city, a bit like East Asia in terms of modernity, with rapid delivery services and apps, everything just works great and fast I'm not saying it's perfect btw, there's moments where you still realize it's Eastern Europe (or as they'd like to call it Central Europe) but then the difference is they generally solve problems fast and pragmatically Many shops you go will actually have a long line at the checkout, annoying, but usually there's a second checkout but it's closed That's because Poland too has a big labor shortage, one of the lowest fertility rates in Europe, so they too kinda have to import people, but they choose to import them from Ukraine and Belarus (and some South Asians actually too) But wait, so that checkout line is closed yes? I'm so used to Portugal where there is zero incentive to then open another checkout counter but in Poland usually within a few minutes they notice it's busy and open another counter. I know, basic stuff but hard to come by these days. They're fast and pragmatic Ordering flowers for my gf was easy, the flower shop has an IG (but I don't) so I msg them over Whatsapp, they immediately respond, give me some options, I say what I want, address, payment link with Stripe (!) and done delivered at my hotel by a nice guy. All soooo smooth. Fast response, friendly people. Things just work here! Poland has done a great job keeping bad immigrants out while bring good immigrants in. The Ukrainians and Belarussians are neighbors and their cultures overlap strongly with Poland. So they fit in easily. Same cultures, same religions, same routines etc. for the most part A young Polish Uber driver I talked to said to him Krakow (his city) looks just like Lviv in Ukraine, so it's easy for Ukranians in Poland to integrate There's a lot of police presence in places, and military vehicles also (probably cause of the Ukraine war), the security at the Warsaw Airport is not done by some 5 layer outsourced company with staff that hates you, but by friendly people from the Polish Border Guard (Straż Graniczna) wearing military uniforms Warsaw has lots of skyscrapers now, and actually the tallest in Europe now at 310 meters is the Varso Tower, crazy! Poland is a booming economy and growing fast. When you're growing of course it's easy to make things go well. I'd say it's important for Poland to look ahead carefully and don't make the same mistakes that Western Europe did when everything was going well and we were very rich We became complacent, stagnant, added regulatory burdens, became overly obsessed with climate change and the environment, and imported the lowest quality tier of people from cultures that hate our guys and are diametrically opposed to Western culture That last part is especially interesting considering Poland's history, where 6 million (!) or 20% of the country was ruthlessly murdered in World War II I think that gives them the power to not have to be politically correct about immigration like Germany, because Poland after all was the victim, while Germany then was the purpetreyor. Which is why Germany does have to be so politically correct about it, due to extreme historical guilt You walk on the streets of Poland in the day and at night and you see the difference what sane policy does to daily life We're all dealing with the echoes of history So my message to my Polish friends: don't make the same mistakes Western Europe did and you will soon be the richest, safest, most modern country in Europe and hopefully then have the power to be the new leader of Europe And maybe you can then save Europe as a whole!! Niech żyje Polska! 🇵🇱

I saw the Elizabeth Holmes film last night and it may be one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Like holy sh*~ it gets so innovative in the second half I literally started getting high off witnessing artistic futurism and i haven’t come down yet

What should we definitely go see and do in Warsaw? 🇵🇱

Couple of tips to make your @bot even more productive: - Route traffic through its own dedicated Mac mini. >>> Bot's VM gets blocked while canvasing LinkedIn or making changes on HubSpot. When it's using a familiar IP, you are less likely to get bot checked. - MCPs are limited because every company wants to upsell access. Browser-use is key to getting actions done that your regular MCP doesn't let you do. HERE'S THE CATCH... Have your coding agent create a simple CLI to use code to interact with specific sites. >>> Have it imitate humans, take a pause, and do actions programmatically. Your bot can wield the CLI and browser-use tool to be very effective on the browser. - Use domain experts in your company to create bots and share them across the company. >>> Often the person with not enough context build the bot out and there are 4 versions of the same AI employee. Use the best expert in that area of your company and have them share their bot. Better context in, better output out. You can also make a bot that uses interviews with these domain experts to create new bots.

I am obsessed with the history of the Solidarność movement It was the first real trade union in communist Poland - it appeared in 1980 and single-handedly pushed commies out of power I went to the museum of Solidarność in Gdansk, where the movement started, on Sunday I didn't expect anything, I was just wandering around the museum when I saw that a public debate was being held that day I went to the room of the debate and felt totally out of place – I was the only guy wearing shorts, with an audio guide strapped around my neck, probably the only foreigner in the room as well I looked at the participant list and realized that the people debating on the stage were the freaking FOUNDERS of the Solidarność movement Among them was the former head of the Constitutional Tribunal and one of the first prime ministers of Poland I talked to a guy sitting right next to me – he casually mentioned he used to be the minister of justice It felt like a fairy tale – the people I've been reading about in the books and the exhibition were alive in front of me They talked in turn for about an hour, and then the moderator said it was time for questions I raised my hand, not hoping for anything, and he actually GAVE ME THE MIC I was super nervous to speak Polish to all these high-caliber guys and the 100 ppl or so in the audience, but still muttered my question out – I asked what they would do differently if they could go back to 1989, before communism fell They answered my question and started arguing between themselves and the other early Solidarność members from the audience about the decisions from that time – I felt like I just discovered a treasure chest! This post is way too nerdy and probably gonna get 100 views, but I still wanted to share – it feels INSANE when the people you know from the history books appear in front of you, and you can interact with them Also, this would never be possible if I didn't learn Polish – knowing the language opens so many cultural experiences that would otherwise be totally blocked for you

Ci lascia Peter #Cullen, una grande voce del cinema americano, ma tra i tanti personaggi a cui ha dato un'anima il mio preferito resterà sempre #Optimus Prime. Ma non tutti sanno che Peter Cullen ha anche dato la voce a quello che per me è il video della NASA che meglio ha raccontato, racconta, e mai racconterà il senso più profondo del legame eterno e infinito tra la Specie Umana e l'Universo. Il video si intitola 'We are the explorers" e chi ama lo Spazio non può non riconoscersi in ogni parola con cui Cullen ci descrive il rapporto tra uomo e infinito. Pelle d'oca, ogni volta. Perchè è proprio questo il senso del nostro viaggio. Regalatevi 2 minuti e 35 secondi. Non ve ne pentirete. Grazie, Peter #Cullen #RIP #transformers
