Having a blast at the @nerdland.be festival.

i like the word "gonads" very forward thinking, very encouraging; go little nads go, you can do it, the little nads that could

Couldn’t have written it better myself. I think this perfectly sums up my love-hate relationship with both AI sceptics and lovers online.

One day, the sound my iPhone makes when an NL-Alert is sent out is gonna give me a full-blown heart attack.

I came to the realization that a lot of the books I've read about psychology were written before the replication crisis, and as I'm looking into this, a lot of the research these books were based on didn't replicate. If anyone has good pop-sci psychology/behavioral economics recommendations, lmk.

Frontier Developments has really been "cooking" as the kids say these days, with the recent Planet Coaster 2 updates. New themes and features like on-ride photos are awesome. i just hope swing launches/spikes are high on their to-do list.

Exploring Emerald Park today. Some fun rides here.

Devastating

Not good. Would love to see more analysis likje this, of all the models out there. Technology is never apolitical.

I'm no philosophy expert, but I often start thinking about whether free will exists, and I personally can't see any good reason for our decision making to be anything special as opposed to other physical processes.

About to finally see Caro after hearing so many positive reviews.

I was invited to #Efteling’s Raveleijn office for research into accessibility of the park’s rides and fairytales.

Love this pair of answers from the Web Dev AI survey: "AI has made *me* more productive, but it will make *other people* lazy and stupid" and it's the exact same numbers for both. 2025.stateofai.dev/en-US/opinio...

Isn't the whole point of growing older that you stop giving a fuck about what's cool or cringe?

I like BlueSky, but it's so weird sometimes! There are certain people I follow, whose posts I only see when I go to the Discover tab. Not sure why;

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

This is so, so bleak. (Source: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...)

That time I set up a joke and delivered the punchline 8 years later, and it didn’t really land.

There are legitimate reasons not to use LLMs, but not doing so for climate reasons might be pennywise but pound foolish.

Cars, but also stovetops, washing machines, ATMs, ...

It definitely feels that way sometimes. There's a lot of "form over function" out there. Inclusive design has a long way to go.

Props to the ride operators at Toutatis in Parc Asterix. They’re dispatching trains at an incredible pace.

Had a lovely day at Walibi Belgium yesterday, exploring their new family coaster Mechalodon, and the surrounding area DockWorld. Highly recommend giving it a try.

My Lizzy? Thin.

I'm starting to hate having to deal with on-screen keyboard UI issues in React Native. Can't we all go back to phones with hardware keyboards and be done with this crap? /s.

I think #Efteling should get translations like this looked over by a native English speaker, because sometimes, I think they lack a little nuance. In the case of the one below for instance, I'd say "By building on *at most* 11% of the entire park's area, [...]
