Hi. I founded a VC with the goal to help Europe regain its sovereignty, starting with Ukraine’s victory.

I’m based in Brussels, working in tech, AI, and startup funding. I run an incubator for US founders who want to move to EU (https://sevenseed.eu)

Seven Seed - Seven Camp - Seven Capital — Ingram Technologies

I don’t like that he keeps renaming it. This is “Humans Need Not Apply” and it even has its own Wikipedia page under that name!

And yes it’s deeply true. I remember watching this at the time and it was one of the reasons I got into AI. (That, and watching Person of Interest).

I even kept re-linking it every year around Christmas, watching it on a yearly basis. And then …

What do you mean? Factorio is an extremely calculable game and tends to show most of its information (ratios aside, those are in the wikis)

As someone who reviews a lot of AI shit and can generally tell ai generated down to the model version … nah, it doesn’t.

It’s obscene to think they would be so successful however without Russia’s active role in it.

Okay I’ll bite.

Thanks to AI, I was able to finish my bookkeeping and accounting app I had been working on years ago. https://financica.app

It’s not just “vibe coded”, it’s really damn good. Because thanks to AI, whenever I spot an issue, a quality of life increase etc I can just immediately implement it rather than have it seat in a perpetually growing backlog of “maybe one day”.

And there’s SO MANY standards to comply with especially in Europe and I just … implemented all of them. It’s more full featured than any of its competitors.

It runs the bookkeeping and accounting for all of my own companies plus plenty of customers. And the funny thing is for me, this is pretty much a side project. I just have people helping on sales, but all the development is me.

Hey, sorry to bother you but I was about to google something and I figured I'd ask you instead. Can you remind me the year John Herivel was born, and how old he was when he discovered the Herivel tip?

Please?

To add to it… I can’t find the video of it right now, but a while back I saw people taking a stopped escalator, and the escalator failing into an open hole essentially. Since then I’ve started following said recommendations on not using stopped escalators.

Your president literally does illegal things all the time and your Supreme Court just declares it’s legal because it’s the president.

You have zero moral ground or credibility to stand on.

Confidence votes are a very different type of vote than electoral votes. There’s an argument to make for them. There’s also an argument that it turns a professional job into a popularity contest.

I know it sounds like the commission is full of buddy-buddy jobs but, living in Brussels and seeing the bubble from up close I can tell you that is seldom the case. I can’t say it never happens but the processes and scrutiny these people go through is extremely high.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s often a lot of incompetence that ends up at the helm. But this isn’t something elections solve. Elections turned the leader of the free world into the leader of incompetence.

Adding elections adds democracy, it does not add expertise. If your issue is with bad decisions being made, your issue is not with how the people got in the position to make those decisions, it’s with the systems that allowed bad decisions to be made.

A bad plane pilot can crash your plane and kill you; the fix isn’t to elect your pilots.

Peak 2026 hn to think vibe coding a mobile app for elections is going to “solve” a problem they don’t understand. Do you even hear yourself?
