    How did you do this? I like this idea. Many times, this is true. I am excluding these cases, and this thought process is preferable. This is often uncertain. I frequently receive feedback like, “I hate AI and don’t use it,” or, “Just do something with AI; we need to prove we are...

    I have a question. I’m at a point where I receive many inquiries in my administration consulting work about which AI tools to use. Put differently, how can AI be applied in settings where accuracy is critical? Which tools can be trusted for accounting and data analytics? From my research, I...

    I agree with everything you say apart from this one point. In 2008, the media brainwashed Germans into hating the southerners of Europe (+Irish) and calling them lazy slackers. Do you remember the term PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain)? Either way, that is not the point. As a general...

    I would not go for the racial angle. I believe it has to do with poorly educated, low-IQ, low-budget customers. They think their lobotomized Jedi "tricks" work, but anyone with at least one brain cell sending an electric current to another is just fed up and not amused.

    The absolute BEST book you MUST read!

    GOLD! 
    I find so much pleasure in learning how things work and how the world works though. Books are amazing. But true reading is not taking action. It can be a very good way of mental masturbation.

    Not arguing for the sake of arguing, but for me it is part of my character. I am more disagreeable than 80% of people, so I use it as a tool for truth-seeking. I have no ego and like to smash my preconceptions. I understand why people with a different character (most people) dislike it. But...

    I wish more hiring managers were like you,@Andy Black , especially in big companies where many of them seem to be coasting while waiting for their pension to arrive. Did you also ask people to do presentations and case studies relevant to the role? Personally, I find them quite telling of...

    Nice to meet you! - What would you do if you were me?

    INTRO 
    Hello and welcome! I work in the same field as you - process improvement and project management - though I’m based in the Netherlands. I was also laid off during Covid and received severance, two months of paid salary, and unemployment benefits for about seven months. I didn’t use the benefits...

    Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon that I use is quite stable. I had some issues with sound, but I asked ChatGPT and had them fixed within 15 minutes. No other major issues. It is fast, and games run smoothly. I also “saved” older overheating laptops with it, fixed their overheating problem so they can be...

    To be honest, on my personal PC I deleted the bloatware and moved to Linux Mint. With a bit of setup and the help of ChatGPT, it works very well. By the way, I am not very good with tech. I’m never going back to Windows. Linux systems are much faster and more customizable, and they can still...

    The problem is that these people cannot read. We're talking about another level here. No, this is not a hyperbole. The only thing you can do is hire security guards to patrol and use elaborate alarm systems. Three-shot shotguns are legal and do a good job. Best solution, move out and surround...

    Is Passive Income Less Attainable Than Before?

    QUESTION 
    Be aware: Some work and some sacrifice = Some results. You can half-a$$ things and get halfway. That’s better than nothing, and there’s no shame in it. However, the probabilities of asymmetric returns are reduced in that case. The more constraints you impose (e.g., not showing your face on...

    Is Passive Income Less Attainable Than Before?

    QUESTION 
    That is key. THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. The only thing you can do is create systems and strategies where working toward the things you care about, also when it sucks balls, becomes part of your daily routine automatically. Think of what is discussed in Atomic Habits by James Clear and in habit...

    IDEA 
    I think it’s a very good idea: an ERP system built in the era of AI. That being said, AI still hallucinates, and in finance and accounting, that’s a huge red flag. Just my two cents. I might be wrong, though, because small businesses could be much less sensitive to inaccurate data. To be...

    Then we are 100% aligned. I would follow up with: young people definitely need to get out more, do more drugs, and have a lot more sex than they are currently having; responsibly, of course and without breaking the law.

    I think you must be in the wrong circles. I see a lot of extremely smart young people. Of course, there are also some who are not as smart. I don’t see significant differences compared to my generation. That’s why I’ll say it again: people in this forum really, really need to go out and meet...

    Totally agree. I think many people, especially here, should just turn off the TV and social media, go out, and meet people in person to understand how they see the world. Or, God forbid, even travel to another country. This is how you broaden your horizons, gain a better understanding of the...
