If you're in marketing, more education makes your income go down: high-school $85K/y -> Bachelor $80K/y -> Master $75K/y If you're a founder, education does not help or hurt you at all, the change is $0 The only place where education increases income from m data is PhDs who are developers do result in $150K/y median income, but sample size is 50 so it's noisy
@levelsio Yeah, but do better schools *cause* higher income or just attract it?

@levelsio Might be interesting to see the direction of the correlation. Top view, would make sense no? Lowest income gravitates to cheap, with education = more wealth = more attraction.

View quoted postMade 🤤 Piet's Balls today: 1kg of minced meat (I use minced acém meat in Portugal, I think minced chuck steak in English, it's nice meat with some good fat) Then I use this pre-cut frozen garlic and onion, very good, let it defrost in a bowl a bit, it's frozen so the onion doesn't make you cry 👊 Then put it all together in a big bowl, add 1 egg, then salt (more than u think u need) and pepper, some paprika powder (always good on anything!), then add some flour so it gets more whole (ppl often use bread crumbs but flour is fine maybe better) and massage it all and fold it many times until it becomes one giant meatball I tried to make big Dutch meatballs (as big as a fist) last time but they're annoying to cook, takes ages and still raw inside Small ones like these are better and easy to cook in some butter, so I do that now The cooking is annoying still but okay, you gotta do medium heat (always on electric stove medium means like nothing comes out so more like 80%) and then you wait 3 mins for each side Because it's a meatball there's like 6 sides so it takes awhile, so yeah I'd say 15-20min? I thought about doing it in airfryer but it'd be less juicy but I'll try next time Anyway they were 10/10 excellent and JUICY and great protein source and gf + gf grandma loved them 😋
Something that will eventually happen when you use Tailscale is You think your site is down, you try reach it over SSH, it doesn't work, you try open the site in your browser, it doesn't open, you're about to reset the server and think the worst! Then you think: let's try the Rescue console on Hetzner, you SSH in, and ask Claude Code what's going on And it tells you your Tailscale key for the server expired, because they automatically expire after 180 days (for safety) @DanielLockyer told me to always [ Disable key expiry ] for every server, but I forgot it for Interior AI, you kinda get locked out otherwise so important to disable this! You can do so in the @Tailscale console under [...] All good now!!

We'd save about 1 million lives per year by legalizing and introducing self driving cars worldwide immediately But of course it will take decades of pushback from government regulation and tens of millions of lived lost in traffic accidents, similar to the death toll of COVID!
It’s hard to believe some countries don’t allow FSD yet. Or that some US states don’t let you buy a Tesla. We will look back at this hesitation and count too many unnecessary traffic fatalities.

People always ask me how I make coffee so I make it with Brazil coffee beans I grind coarse with a Fellow Ode 2 and then pour over with stainless steel Hario V60 and Hario filter paper and a stainless steel Fellow EKG PRO kettle and ceramic Le Creuset mugs I tried lots of ways to make coffee over the years like AeroPress (a pain to clean), Nespresso (utterly disgusting, I wouldn't call it coffe), etc. V60 is nice because you can throw away the filter paper quickly after using and it's clean You need one extra cup in the back for drip after u finish Also everyone likes custom amount of coffee strength, I want 20g, gf want 10g etc, so it's superior to do it per cup than one big pot of coffee One important part here is we avoid plastic in every step of the process, important because you're dealing with boiling water When I was in Brazil we found a water kettle at gf parents house that was fully white plastic inside and out, super common, imagine boiling hot water in plastic! Many V60 filters are also made of plastic. And I remember in Bali often getting hot coffee in plastic cups! Luckily you can get everything here in stainless steel and ceramic! Enjoy!
🇵🇹 Carta aberta ao Governo de Portugal @LMontenegroPSD @Leitao_Amaro @miguelluz Senhor Primeiro-Ministro Luís Montenegro, Senhor Ministro António Leitão Amaro, Senhor Ministro Miguel Pinto Luz, Escrevo como alguém que escolheu Portugal para viver. Tenho um pedido simples: tragam o Tesla FSD (Supervised) para Portugal. A 10 de abril, os Países Baixos foram o primeiro país europeu a aprovar o sistema, depois de 18 meses de testes independentes da autoridade RDW. Em dois meses, a Lituânia, a Estónia, a Dinamarca e a Bélgica seguiram o exemplo. Nenhum destes países repetiu os testes. Reconheceram a homologação neerlandesa ao abrigo do quadro europeu (UN R-171) e aprovaram com base nos dados que já existem. Os resultados falam por si: nos Países Baixos, cerca de 40.000 Teslas já percorreram 24 milhões de quilómetros sem incidentes relevantes, segundo a própria RDW. Os carros com FSD registaram 3,5 vezes menos colisões do que a condução manual. E é aqui que isto deixa de ser sobre tecnologia e passa a ser sobre vidas. Só este ano já morreram mais de 220 pessoas nas estradas portuguesas, mais 25% do que no ano passado. Portugal está acima da média europeia na mortalidade rodoviária. A ANSR diz que as principais causas são humanas: velocidade, álcool, distração. Um sistema que nunca se distrai, nunca bebe e nunca adormece evita mortes que vão acontecer com condutores humanos. O próprio Governo chamou à sinistralidade uma chaga social. Esta é uma forma concreta de a combater. Portugal pode fazer o mesmo que a Dinamarca e a Bélgica: o IMT analisa o dossier da RDW e aprova. Não custa nada ao Estado e coloca Portugal à frente da Alemanha, da França e da Espanha. Há 500 anos, Portugal liderou o mundo numa nova tecnologia: a navegação. Partiu à frente de todos e deu novos mundos ao mundo. Portugal pode voltar a estar na fronteira de uma nova tecnologia e liderar como fez há 500 anos. Cada mês de espera custa vidas. Basta decidir. Com admiração e respeito, -@levelsio

Summary: Here's the gist of what Pieter Levels (@levelsio) actually does. He stopped coding locally. Instead he rents a cheap $5/month Hetzner VPS, SSHes into it with Termius (an SSH app he uses on both his iPhone and MacBook, roughly 50/50), and installs Claude Code right on

@levelsio Someone needs to design the Apple/Dyson of airconditioning. They’re just hideous and often too big for many European houses. If Elon Musk can radically simplify rocker engines, A/C’s should be an easy task.
View quoted postFor me it's the opposite: simple carbs make me tired and lethargic and bloated A big misconception is that only starches like rice, bread and potatoes are carbs But vegetables and fruit ARE carbs too! Berries are carbs! A banana is carbs! Brussels sprouts are carbs! But they're even better carbs called complex carbs You can literally just skip simple carbs (like white rice, regular bread and poatoes) and only eat complex carbs and you'll feel better because you'll have more stable energy levels with less blood sugar spikes, reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease Combine that with protein from good meat and you have most nutrients covered!

@levelsio AC uses higher electricity and most of the EU countries use 100-year-old infrastructure Another issue is that the EU doesn't have any resources to produce electricity Russian gas is too risky to build infrastructure that depends on it France was the main electricity

Perfect sleep today at 16°C/61°F I might start the AC to precool the bedroom a bit earlier cause it takes awhile to get there Even though it's 19°C/66°F outside at night in Portugal, without AC our bedroom would be 30°C/86°F with 2 people in it Why? Well when we travel and we don't cool it, our bedroom at night is about 24°C/75°F, so that's the base temp And that's because it's a well insulated modern house (aka the blessing and curse of modern houses), modern walls delay the heat from the sun in the day so it heats up your house at night, essentially to save energy but it results in extremely hot bedrooms that are terrible for your sleep On top of that two people sleeping increases a bedroom temperature by another 3°C!/5°F. Especially if you work out and have some muscle mass which radiates even more heat! So without AC running we'd end up in a 27°C/81°F bedroom! Add a blanket to that and you add another 3°C, so you're sleeping at 30°C/86°F. Terrible sleep! If you ever slept in an old house you know how nice it is, it's barely insulated and feels breezy and cold at night, how it should be Overheating at night due to modern insulated homes is a well documented problem in energy efficient housing research So yes most of us need AC at night!
