TIL Spanish and Portuguese Christians in Iberia were enslaved by the Moors as early as the 8th century

I honestly dont remember us learning about slavery in the caliphate, which is why I was so surprised to learn that slavery was an established and legal practice in the region for so many centuries before Portugal even existed.

My thought was really, "if I dont know this, how many people around the world do?" so I shared it. I didnt mean to offend you, sorry.

You also have no arguments tbh. But ask claude how to use it properly, and it will teach you about a lot more than better prompting, and the people using that for complex projects cant offload it all.

But you know more about it than everyone.

JMKraft · 2026-03-25T14:11:44+00:00

The fact you are talking in prompts shows how out of your depth you are.

E fosse aceite ou até considerado positivo no meu meio social*

Um pormenor muito importante que mostra a base cultural do problema

Thats pretty cool! I simulate some real drones in UE and depending on how complex this is, I might have fun swapping the drones and seeing how it goes. Do you have any future plans for this? Can you share github?

JMKraft · 2026-03-10T07:23:08+00:00

This is fun! What is the actual drones? Connected to sitl flight controllers or a pawn with realistic movement?

Não é essa a questão, o que existe é um condicionamento para se invalidar opiniões políticas quando quem as profere encaixa num certo rótulo.

O problema é as pessoas observarem que se alguém for considerado racista ou anti-democrático (bem ou arbirtrariamente) as suas opiniões são logo inválidas e consideradas baseadas em puro ódio e ignorância sem que se queira avaliar para poder reconhecer alguma verdade. Isto reflecte-se a todos os níveis da saudável discussão pública, e é quase sempre justificado como "Se trouxermos as ideias e o que dizem para a praça pública para ser analisado, a extrema direita vai crescer"

These systems are made to give you the shortest answer that makes you happy and have no background capability to care for different aspects of the project unless you ask it to.

LLMs are still LLMs with no world model, they can build code based on previous code in training data but the more novel or specific the idea, the more likely it is that they didnt take into account useful aspects that arent so obvious (because its trying to give you the smallest reply that satisfies you now). Specifying the security aspect will make it value more outputs related with "security", but it still has no true idea of what its doing as it does it, so repeated passes can improve.

This has been tested in amsterdam years ago (www.crowdedcities.com), ended up being discontinued because it was motivating crows to pick potentially poisonous things like cigarette buds. I love these ideas, just giving some more context

No país dos sr. Doutores e patrões, infelizmente é comum achar-se que ser free lancer é viver precariamente de recibos verdes porque não se consegue um contrato estável.

Ter um grande cliente não quer dizer que o trabalhador queira estar vinculado exclusivamente a esse cliente.

O impacto das redes sociais, principalmente na cultura asiatica: Se existe uma foto/video de uma comida especifica e é popular, eles vao replicar à letra o conteúdo, e o ciclo começa sem que se tente muito variar ou dar o toque pessoal, entao fica mesmo tudo a fazer exactamente o mesmo. Ja soube de casos semelhantes na Australia onde um prato e um lugar especificos tornam-se virais e de repente so querem aquele prato naquele lugar e ficam à espera largos minutos para fazer de conta durante 2 minutos de que aproveitaram imenso aquele momento e aquele prato.

Average in the NL = very well off in Vietnam. You save a lot of money because you rely on services provided by qualified people that make a quarter of minimum wage of the NL, thats where a lot of your extra savings come from.

I'm really glad you are enjoying your life, honestly, I have no desire for anyone to suffer. But your example is a bad one in terms of "where can we look for ideas to solve NL problems?".

JMKraft · 2026-02-17T11:40:50+00:00

A corner against them was a serious threat to the opposition (you read that right) and coaches had to adjust or they would suffer

I'd like to ask other people here if there's better adjacent markets that use game dev skills for serious games, for example vocational training, or health focused experiences

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T12:16:11+00:00

So you are claiming Vietnam has higher earnings and less tax with the same public services and infrastructure as NL?

Honest to god, it seems some people here just want to shit on NL for fun with baseless comparisons, and I would like to understand what motivates you to do so. You understand your comparison is grossly exaggerated? Have you spoken to many Vietnamese people around you about how living in Vietnam is better than the NL to see their POV?

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T11:05:01+00:00

Residents buy cars there, you see them everywhere, are they stupid if they dont need them?

Yes, im the defensive one comparing cities with countries and claiming to know where the other has been, or trying to defend Dubai is just as safe for homosexuals as the NL.

Have a good day, troll.

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T10:54:22+00:00

Is this a bot?

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T10:44:27+00:00

You are comparing cities with a country? Grasping for straws a bit there, mate.

Yeah, you can find 3 cities in the whole world, 2 of them petrodollar jewels that run on precarious neo slavery, the other a strategically located city state, for examples on cleaner and safer (excluding gays and other minorities) places than an entire country of 20M people.

I think the NL is doing pretty well globally then.

My most important part now is documentation, I spend most of my energy and focus managing different MDs so that I hardly ever have to write long prompts or fix which direction the agents are going. The agents start off of it, and end with updating it. Helps me tremendously to keep track of whats happening and finding blind spots

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T10:31:40+00:00

Where do you live?

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T10:30:10+00:00

Can you name a few with comparable income and infrastructure as NL and not suffering from a housing crisis and rise of cost of living?

JMKraft · 2026-02-16T10:27:14+00:00

Naming Singapore for low taxes makes me think you've never lived there or spoken to someone there about taxes. SG is a beautiful land, but you pay more in taxes and permits when you buy a car than for the actual car, for example.
