Leland is a CS student, that being said I agree the concepts and pricing are tempting. There are more of these Kanban for Agents eg Multica, PlateSpinner, KitKot, Kanbots.

The entire sexual revolution went out the window and we're now in a world where young people have a lot less sex than ever before.

Source?

Not withstanding that people are not willing to make sacrifices, my impression is that the last decades young women gained the freedom of enjoying sex as much as they like not restricted by religious or other norms. Sleeping with several different partners a week is not frowned upon but encouraged by friends & family ’Good for you, enjoy!’.

And related to the discussion: safe sex with contraception imho is among the most environmental friendly activities as long as one travels by foot or bike.

Correct. According to https://minimaxir.com/2026/05/openrouter-hy3/#llm-economics-... [0] when served by DeepSeek, Cache Read Costs/Input Costs are a very low percentage:

  DeepSeek V4 Pro    0.83%
  DeepSeek V4 Flash  2%

I respectfully disagree. The main argument that is completely ignored and not reacted to “humans can adapt, they behave different in different circumstances, eg. wear thicker coats in northern Sweden than in the southern areas”. Our huge brains allow for creative solutions to changing circumstances, also bakers and other workers can adapt. If they don’t for political reasons, then societies die or diminish.

Market prices in the electricity grid do not work to incentivized lower consumption, and the latest few energy crisis in EU has demonstrated that clearly.

The prices haven’t changed much, less than factor 2. Far too little to see any change in consumption indeed. If bread is too expensive to produce during some periods switch to Knäckebröd or Müsli products that, now I think of it, are Swedish probably for the reason that they can be stored for prolonged periods and replace bread when that is unavailable in harsh wintertimes.

right now Hydro energy is being primarily sold off by private actors

It happens all over the world, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons is an alternative that historically has been successful.

Both users and companies could be incentivized to lower their consumption of electricity by increasing the price astronomical during periods of scarcity. A minimum of 1 Ampere per household without surcharge and beyond that enough to pay off the infrastructure. Taking a sauna or charging your car during peak times would costs, let’s say, €500. Assuming that in the north of Sweden there is ample Hydro energy, in the north the surcharge would be lower than in the south.

I strongly believe people and organizations would accommodate, just like during winter times in the north of Sweden one wears a different coat than in the south. But with the current system one isn’t incentivized to adapt power consumption to cost and hence more & more costs are made to build power lines from the north to feed the south of Sweden. And the same for standby fossil fuel plants.

Also prepaid electricity bills with automatic cutoff when exceeding, remaining 1 Ampere. Similar to the days when homes/tents would be heated by burning wood, during summertime one needs to collect enough firewood for the whole winter. Different times but in concept nothing new.

I've seen barbers before Covid not accepting cash, after Covid happy to accept cash. The Covid rules for subsidies were very strict, sometimes having to repay all as they didn't fully comply. Cash gives protection against bankruptcy due to unfortunate rules.

IMHO main benefit of bunny.net is that as an Slovenian company they adhere to the GDPR, no GAG orders, and offer an Data Processing Agreement (DPA) when Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is involved.

See https://bunny.net/gdpr/. Also noticed this:

While uncommon, bunny.net also provides a way to block users from the EU from accessing your content altogether by using our traffic manager tools if you do not wish to serve users from the European Union. Which I assume can be reversed, only serving to users from the EU.

India and China are huge countries with very small percentage river deltas. Not comparable by any means. Bangladesh in a very young country that inherited it’s culture from India. I’m not an anthropologist, but sorry, I don’t agree there is any likeness with these countries.

If you have an other theory about the Dutch culture and why it is so different from it’s neighbors, I happy to hear.
