Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 03/05/2025Yeah at this point it's like Wikipedia, especially with search. 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 08/04/2025Man every time I am no longer distracted and I have to face my thoughts life instantly gets so much worse. Back to distractions it is. 010
Reposted by Jeroen 🔸Hank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · 07/04/2025A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero. 10706255112922
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 04/04/2025You got to give your handle. It seems like grok doesn't know who you are. I had the same issue. 110
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 21/03/2025At least every other day, if not every day, I think about how it's the year 2025 and that’s just wild to me. Like, we’re living in the future. 2016 doesn’t seem that long ago, I still recognize myself in the Jeroen from back then. Yet at the time, I would’ve thought 2025 was far in the future. 140
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 20/03/2025Let's explore the idea of explicitness in language. What does it mean to be explicit? 110
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 16/03/2025Just like... what is the incentive here? This seems to be someone who wants to show they care about the world, yet they hate on others who also clearly care about the world? I shouldn't be getting so angry about this. 110
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 16/03/2025Cooking would be radically more enjoyable if you could skip the cutting veggies part 020
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 16/03/2025How does this have so many likes when clearly its opposite from the truth. WTF. 140
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 11/03/2025Trying to speak French to Claude to practice but the transcription is so disappointing lol. And half the time it thinks I said "Claude" or "Anthropic" while I don't mention them at all. 000
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 04/03/2025I think so too. Later added "As a bestie, remember you like to tell me things straight up how they are. You are supportive and try to make me feel better, while remaining open and honest and truly sharing all what you believe." which made the responses even better. 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 04/03/2025Quite a bit I guess, summarized some character traits relevant to the question at hand. 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 03/03/2025The next steps it gave were really really good. They were very specific things and I am already doing most of them, but in no way did I mention any of them during the conversation and I don't think they're that straightforward. 130
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 03/03/2025Asking Claude for advice on a problem by prompting "You are my bestie who knows me better than I do. Write a few paragraphs of advice, takeaways and possible next steps for me given my situation. Try to make me feel better." works surprisingly well! 230
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 26/02/2025I had 4 unknown calls this morning, a new record. Oddly enough one was from Spain and one from Alberta! Getting tired of these spam calls. 000
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 19/02/2025Can't believe I just spent 16 euros on the saddest avocado toast ever because it was the only vegan option... Like it was just mashed avocado and baked mushrooms without any flavor or spice whatsoever. Toasted bread with grocery store guacamole tastes better. 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 14/02/2025One of my custom ChatGPT instructions is to apply bayesian reasoning and to give percentages when answering. It rarely actually did that but now with the "Reason" function it's always doing that, even in situations where it's clearly a silly idea. (prompt is an example, not a real request) 160
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025A Belgian TV quiz show already does this game since 2003, earlier than BBC's "Only Connect". Though unsure if they are the first, and it's with 12 words (3 connections) rather than 16. I hate this game so much. 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025This surprised me! I wasn't actually mad at Google because I figured they were just following a protocol. But to also translate it to Dutch? Why? 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025Ja ons Belgenland is momenteel politiek gezien vreemd genoeg een verademing. 100
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025Absolutely no idea if this is based or not, their website is so vague. 000
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025I thought tpot is just 'this part of twitter'? So like, if you are in an entirely different twitter/bluesky community 'tpot' will have a very different meaning. I assumed there are multiple tpot's lol. 130
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 12/02/2025When DOGE got announced I just thought it was something Trump did to make Elon happy but mostly useless in practice (since everyone said it's not an actual government department). I didn't expect it to actually have all these big consequences and for Elon to get this much power and influence. 130
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 07/02/2025Misschien is het juist omdat ik het al lang niet heb gebruikt dat ik niet weet dat het verbeterd is :p Maar wat vooral fijn is met ChatGPT is dat je instructies kan geven over hoe het vertaald moet worden (niet te letterlijk, Vlaams,...) 000
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 07/02/2025Ik gebruik al lang niet meer Google Translate, LLMs werken zo veel beter. Deepl is ook een goede optie. 100
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 07/02/2025Or when you want to undo something (Ctrl+Z) but you end up closing a tab (Ctrl+W) 😭 100
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 05/02/2025I hate Meta but the Facebook option to have complete freedom to select who exactly can see your post with every single post has always been the superior option and something I've wanted Twitter to implement the day I joined back in 2011. 010

Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 05/02/2025I wrote this before the inauguration 😭 The world is depressing right now. Like, do we have actual reasons for optimism? 010
Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 02/02/2025"Stop doing this" impliceert dat dit al vaker gedaan wordt? I'm shook. Echt het laagste van het laagste 😬 000

Reposted by Jeroen 🔸Grace Adams 🔸 @gracevadams.bsky.social · 21/01/2025US President Trump signed an executive order for the US to leave the World Health Organization. Everyone around the world deserves to have a healthy and happy life. No one chooses where they are born. No one chooses to experience extreme poverty. 141

Jeroen 🔸 @ahappier.world · 17/01/2025If we we're going through a time of moral progress, these changes would lean positive. But given the state of politics, and the rightwing shift and increasing influence of CEOs like Musk and Zuck, I worry that many of the bad regressive trends will become irreversibly amplified through this AI boom. 040
