Nov 28 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Chinese hotel AC goes down to 5Β°C / 41Β°F! No signs of eco degrowth communism in China Ironic, isn't it? πŸ˜‚ https://t.co/INSUZ5CFv6 1.8k 74 142 709.1k 134 .

Nov 28 🍌 Nano Banana Pro is now live on Photo AI I'm a bit late because I had to hack a lot to make it get the resemblance up and it's still not as much as Hyper Realism but the quality of the photos apart from that are just too cool to not have it as a feature You can use it with any of your trained people models including the ones trained on Flux! It's 5x more expensive (5 credits vs 1 credit) Your prompts can be quite simple: "camera flash overexposed, model opening the fridge at 3am, kitchen a mess. wearing boxers, searching for snacks. Flash-lit, real life, afterparty." or "a single everyday photo taken with a low-quality disposable camera. A poorly taken photo by a high school student of model and his friends" or "model skateboarding and doing a kick flip wearing typical skate clothes (baggy pants etc)" Where "model" is your trained Flux model! 433 13 27 665.8k 866 .
Nov 28 The problem with this is that the non-premium non-luxury world has 1) more people (most people), 2) has lots of interesting people (regardless of money), and 3) if you like, actually has people who will be succesful in the future (but are not yet) I feel that's also where the new ideas are, not with the already succesful rich people I was staying in cheap hostels in 2013 and was broke and trying to make it but it'd be fun to meet me then as @DarrenJSmith can attest to 314 8 25 108.9k 474 .
Nov 28 The performative submissive servitude "how is your stay sir oh that's fabulous ha ha ha" it makes me so deeply uncomfortable because I know it could be me doing that job too and faking that It's so obviously a hotel theater played to appease to boomers in luxury hotels whose children don't even listen to them anymore so the staff in luxury hotels now have to "yes the pagodas were so authentic!" All I want when I pay more for a hotel is things to just work and be clean and service to be fast but that's where luxury hotels suck at now so I just book cheaper ones now which have higher volume of guests and so problems get fixed much faster and since they're more simple businesses there's less things that can go wrong 329 7 26 96.4k 725 .

Nov 28 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Chinese brands seem to be replacing Western brands in China Just like Chinese-owned Luckin Coffee replacing American-owned Starbucks in my tweet below You see it with lots of other shops too Here's Maia, a Lululemon/Alo Yoga clone, but with sizes specifically for Asian women, which the Western brands are, well, too Western to be able to niche in to Then they also make them a bit cheaper than the Western brands but with same or higher quality And many to most Chinese customers will just switch over to the Chinese brand You have to think on a geopolitical level what this means, we can put all the tarrifs we want on Chinese products, but they'll do the same back to us, and meanwhile one of the biggest markets for Western brands with 1.4 billion people is lost to us when we get too expensive / low quality for them Again these are not cheap rip offs, it's real brands with quality materials that they're switching over to The same with GPUs of course, we can ban China from using ASML chip making machines, but they'll just develop their own and by then we've lost them at customers I don't have a dog in this fight but it's very interesting to see the macro economics and politics actively happening on the ground! 1.6k 164 176 1.21M 1.2k .
Nov 28 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ In China you see a lot of Western people used in marketing, to represent quality, very interesting This is Luckin Coffee which just surpassed Starbucks in sales and outlets, because it's cheaper and Chinese My voice is a bit rekt from a China cough I got but all good πŸ‘Œ https://t.co/7OINy4earz 561 38 143 1.54M 298 .

Nov 28 Business class was full, also it was a short flight and this is also fun I think it's more fun to mix very cheap and very luxury to feel the contrast I started to realize luxury business class, and luxury hotels, and all that, it just gets very boring very fast if you don't mix it with cheap/regular stuff You feel kinda isolated and it's more boring Travel is more fun being on the road and experiencing real life even if it's less comfortable 2.6k 52 127 774.9k 450 .
Nov 28 🍌 Nano Banana Pro is very impressive but still seems very hit and miss with resemblance and still have less resemblance than both Flux and Hyper Realism Some photos do not look at all like me (like the first, looks more like Martin Garrix), while others do (the second here) It's also very expensive at $0.15 per photo so it's not super economical yet (Flux for example is $0.01 per photo) For now Hyper Realism on Photo AI still has higher resemblance and is much cheaper, so I'll keep running that. I'll happily switch it over though once Nano Banana Pro becomes good enough or I can hack it to become good enough to have high resemblance (I haven't been able to yet!) Apart from the resemblance, Nano Banana Pro is superior in how real it looks, especially stuff like skin detail, it's really excellent I think in 3 to 6 months though, if there's an update, it probably can have high resemblance and become much cheaper and economical One great thing is that Google deserves lots of respect for is they didn't nerf it at all, it has little restrictions, which is a really great thing, more free expression = better Obviously every technological breakthrough has good and bad, and society will have to adjust to not trust every pic, but it also finally gives us a new time of boundary-less expression which is what I've been working on for the last 2.5 years with Photo AI So it's very very very cool to see it finally happen!! 477 14 44 237.3k 1.4k .

Nov 28 Realistically I think the only way is to convince the EU member states to either 1) pressure the EU to redesign itself structually, and if not 2) exit the EU Once enough exit there will be restructuring of the EU or a whole new design or it disappears And the individual EU nations will just make deals with each other like they used to I'm a big believer in the concept of the EU but the current EU design especially with the unelected and authoritarian European Commission just doesn't work and it's not democratic And now it's seriously going into a direction of totalitarianism with Chat Control Very scary 2.1k 182 130 113.9k 615 .

Nov 27 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ The flight with @CSAIRGlobal was again great, really good airline, well organized, friendly staff and good food Here's my food review Next I'll review the airports... https://t.co/daQ7ii2sjK 312 16 58 259.1k 195 .
Nov 27 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Okay we lost about $150 in power banks and got them confiscated from us at the airport flying to the next city in China because the power banks didn't have the Chinese certification called CCC They have every other certification known to man (you know like EC and FCC) but not CCC "CCC (China Compulsory Certificate) is a mandatory certification required for a wide range of products to be legally sold, imported, or used in China, covering aspects like safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility" Ironically they're new Anker batteries and Anker is a Chinese brand and they're made in China but that didn't convince the airport lady Lots of other non-Chinese ppl (but Asian) got rekt and it was a mountain of power banks thrown out Getting your stuff thrown away in front of you is annoying everywhere, but especially when it's new batteries We asked if we could ship them by post to our next hotel (there was a desk shipping stuff next to it) but she denied, very unfriendly lady but then again isn't every airport lady in the entire world usually unfriendly? They seem to be really really really aggressive about hand alchol, lighters and batteries with foreigners, probably for a reason 🚬 I was asked literally 6 times in a row by different people if I had a lighter on me, after the 6th time saying "I don't smoke" I had to shout it which seems to actually work well, a lot of esp age 50 and up people shout in China (which is the opposite of Japan of course), but the loudness of your voice here is part of the communication and sometimes work to shut everyone up and make the point 🀣 Then my bag was opened to find every single electronic device while they say "battery battery" like even about an Airpods box, crazyyyy And gf had to throw away her cute hand alcohol spray thing that every IG girl has, which made her sad Anyway not the most nice experience for foreigners visiting China in this case especially when you travel you really need a powerbank to survive the journey cause your phone runs out of power quick and travel distances in China are long (just a car ride to a hotel or mall can easily be 1 hour) And inb4 "omg n00b", none of the batteries sold outside China now have the CCC mark, so no you can't prep for this, thank you 😊 Please fix @xijinping 1.5k 59 314 678.9k 2.3k .

Nov 26 I've been annoyingly saying this on X for years and people never believe it Most people are still fat or cardioholics and only run or play padel You have to lift weights, it improves your nervous system, it stops or reverts guaranteed (!) muscle atrophy and bone density loss after age 30 meaning you will AGE LESS FAST and age more healthily Which is why I, as a not really athletic person (was just skinny 50kg/100lbs) started lifting around that age Now I try lift 4x per week, I'm not skinny anymore, close to 80kg/160lbs, so I gained 30kg/60lbs (almost doubled in mass, so there's 1.6x Pieter's now!), much more muscle and 15% fat (now I wanna try get that to I don't know 12%?) And the biggest benefits are mental: I'm not anxious anymore, not depressed, not neurotic, just mostly chill and zen When I stop going to the gym for a week or two they come back fast though! I'm not a ripped super chad, and you don't really become that so easily but I am very fit and healthy now and can carry lots of stuff And everyone I meet thinks I'm in my 20s, so the anti-aging part worked Start lifting (and cardio too of course you need both) Future you will THANK you as I thank Pieter from ~8 years ago 🀝 15.9k 1.2k 183 2.9M 1.2k .

Nov 26 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ We barely see any tourists at all The tourists in our hotel are domestic or international Chinese The rest is πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί Russians Everywhere I look actually is Russians Even Beijing's new airport at some points has signs in Chinese, English....and Russian! I didn't expect this Apparently Russians are blocked from traveling to most places so they come to China a lot And they do a lot of business now The Chinese we talked to say the Russian businesses for Russians in China are complaining that the Russians are spending less and the money is drying up though which is an interesting anecdotal point 1.6k 37 208 1.03M 605 .

Nov 26 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Okay got Alipay to work Alipay is nice because it acts as a proxy to use other apps like Didi, and Didi won't let me sign up directly, so via Alipay it auto logs you in (kinda like OAuth) Also Meituan app lets me order food from anywhere and apparently it can arrive via a delivery robot Other handy app is Baidu Translate The challenge here is that every Western app like Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Maps, ChatGPT etc doesn't work at all or doesn't work most of the times, so you kinda have to use the Chinese apps, like DeepSeek Of all my eSIMs my Revolut Global seems to work best, it lets me SOMEHOW open most Western sites fast with no firewall, while Airalo is extremely spotty switches to E (Edge) all the time, I also tried Airalo Hong Kong thinking I could use the Great Firewall hack but that didn't work Whatever @revolut Global eSIM is doing it works amazing in China Yesterday in the subway none of our eSIMs worked though, like we had reception but both of our phones didn't get internet to work. Also nobody spoke any English (which I understand, we're in China) and nobody can read English either So essentially we were illiterate (can't read anything), with no internet, nobody to help us. We tried getting a taxi but they wouldn't take us either because we couldn't communicate Again 99.9% of Chinese don't speak a single word of English, even in 2025, which is OK, it just makes things harder Calling the hotel with my Dutch phone SIM for €5/min ended up being the solution because they could talk to the taxi drivers So yes everything kinda works now! What I see with these travel blogs btw if I write it's difficult I get a lot of replies like "lol fucking n00b!" Which is easy to say but again it's not so easy here But that's also the fun part of China, especially after COVID tourism here from the West appears to have dropped rapidly and Western-Chinese relations have deteriorated rapidly after realizing what a threat China can be in its fast technological development etc. That makes it more interesting as a traveler though because you're the only foreigner almost everywhere I will keep you blogging what I experience next 1.2k 43 239 699.4k 2.2k .

Nov 22 Dutch cuisine is: - a slice of bread with cheese and/or ham for breakfast with milk, then again same for lunch, coffee - hot food for dinner, like smoked sausage that's boiled with kale and mashed potatoes and gravy - lots of deep fried snacks like bitterballen (ball-shaped croquettes), kroketten (literally just croquettes), frikandel (a minced meat sausage), lots of fries - kibbeling (deep fried fish, essentially British fish and chips without the chips) - lots of biscuit like snacks like stroopwafel (caramel waffle), speculaas (cinnamon biscuits), lots of snacking actually It's nice but quite limited, realistically my generation of Dutch people was kinda sick of it I think and just started cooking international food like pasta, noodles, chicken curry etc. and just healthier food But my parents still eat like this 1.4k 43 122 186.4k 828 .
Nov 22 My Brazilian gf couldn't believe it when she asked my dad what he'd want for lunch he said "oh just a slice of bread and cheese or something" I'm Dutch and I'm not exaggerating that this is literally what most Dutch people have for lunch A piece of bread with a slice of cheese with a glass of milk But they're tall so maybe it works! 15.3k 354 633 2.58M 337 .

Nov 21 I need some help Almost got Windows 95 running in Em-DOSBox now on https://t.co/MhtM0fn4g9 Here's the folder which is packaged after: https://t.co/an6ZGYHLBM This entire folder also boots in dosbox-x Also got the dosbox.conf in there to analyze I thought it was the 64MB RAM that was too much for EM-DOSBox so I set it to 16MB (you can check with MEM in DOS) The challenge here is that this stuff is so niche so it's hard to find any answers. Only one person managed to make this work years ago here: https://t.co/8uJrNBCofV But that person disappeared from the internet too :D 49 5 12 45.8k 584 .

Nov 21 What's crazy about this is: I have a close friend in Europe who got megarekt by this "tax stock options on exercise" and who literally paid millions on tax exercising his Then the stock crashed and became worthless And so he literally lost millions for working for a startup, he never got the tax back (they can't!) I hope more EU countries will now follow the Netherlands to tax stock options when sold and not when exercised 1.4k 44 70 183.7k 430 .
Nov 21 πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί More great news from Europe 😊 Gradually, then suddenly. Nothing changed for 2 years and now a lot of things are finally changing: The Netherlands is changing its stock options tax to be modeled after the American system, which is the default in startups (!) Stock options will now be taxed when sold, not when exercised (!) This was #7 most voted idea on https://t.co/NdorAWrhrB to save Europe and now it's happening! Right now in most of Europe, stock options are taxed when exercised This creates very problematic situations: imagine you have stock options for a startup you worked for. Many/most startups have a clause that says "you must exercise your vested options within 90 days after leaving, or you lose them". So you exercise them, which in Europe means paying tax on their value immediately, that's regardless if you actually made money on them! So you could exercise your stock options when the price is $100, and let's say you have 10,000 stocks, so that's 10,000 * $100 = $1,000,000 in value at the time of exercising. Let's say you pay 50% tax on that, so you pay $500,000 in tax Where do you get that $500,000 from in the first place? Remember you now exercised your stock option but you haven't sold it yet. So you're still a broke startup guy. Often you'd loan the money from the bank. And then you could just sell the stock immediately right? No wait...you can only sell your stock that you just exercised during a liquidity event. That means when the company is acquired, or IPOs, or a secondary sale happens (you can sell your stock to other investors) So that means the wait can be forever, while you already paid tax on your options, now you pay back that $500,000 loan over many years But startups are risky, we know that. What if the stock price crashes from $100 to $10? Doesn't matter. You already paid $500,000 on the exercised stock. But now you only make 10,000 * $10 = $100,000 instead of $1,000,000! So now you got a $500,000 loan, paid $500,000 in tax with that loan, only made back $100,000, and now have to pay back this loan with what money? Exactly. You can't and you lost at least $400,000! And that's without the interest of the loan! You just lost a lot of money by being European and working for a startup! Crazy right? But that's the reality in most of the EU (including Germany, Spain, etc). With the new Netherlands law, that finally changes. And that makes working for European startups much more attractive for the top-tier talent. Because startups in the beginning are lean and can't pay a high salary but they can pay in stock in their company easily. The Netherlands also reduces the tax rate of stock options to something more similar to the US: from 49.5% to 32.17% The new ruling only applies to employees at a startup or scale-up The amendment to the Netherlands Income Tax Act is expected to come into effect on January 1, 2027 (in ~1 year) h/t @bobbygaal for the tip 2.5k 162 116 547k 2.9k .

Nov 21 Sergey Brin is still % owner of Google (or Alphabet) together with Larry Page But more importantly together they own 87.4% of all Class-B voting shares which give them 51.4% total voting power Imagine being a dev or product creator with Sergey by your side, whenever Google's bureaucracy (which they have a lot of) tries to get you stuck, you just message Sergey and he gives the go-ahead You essentially have a free pass to make anything, ship anything and launch anything without much constraints That makes Google operate like a small startup again and that's why they're winning again I think 9.1k 421 156 1.49M 600 .

Nov 21 This is fine btw, Japan doesn't really have a choice and seems to make the right choices culturally I still think Europe should just imported Filipinos and Nepali Filipinos are 92% Christian, so highly aligned with Europe Nepali are 89% Hindu or Buddhist, both very aligned with Europe too (Jesus may have been a Buddhist, and the religions are similarly chill) Extension of that also import Thai and other Buddhist or Hindu cultures 98 1 15 17.1k 437 .
