An AI Engineer is just a mid level experienced SWE who wants to be hired in 2025-26.

If you did not get the above statement, people who changed their title to "AI Engineer" found it more easy to get jobs, at least from what I have seen.

I don't like it at all. The curves, the silhouette, does not work at all, it does not "speak" to me as a Ferrari.

Again, a heritage brand ruined by an obnoxious, pesky iPad like display that has no business being in a Ferrari.

The front profile is hideous too.

35mm Film Photography is on the rise too. I am all for it!

Good Write up.

A great list for further reading for anyone interested:

Not sure about GCC countries not paying. Vassals don't really get a say in anything. As for oil and gas deliveries, that is where "force majeure" can be activated.

Beautiful blog.

> Talking about AI is cheap.

AI is about to get a lot more expensive as Taiwan (TSMC) and other South East Asian chip manufacturers don't get their Natural Gas or the Natural Gas they need becomes really expensive.

This is usually a sign of desperation and pretty much permanent decline. I remember Jack Dorsey invited the top Vine Creators in a last ditch effort to save the platform but it did not work.

Having said that though, we can't underestimate Zuck's ability to throw copious amounts of money to solve a problem.

The solution to ALL cost of housing problems globally is this.

Everywhere you look, Australia, Canada, UK, EU this is just a massive issue for young professionals with long-term disastrous downstream political consequences, and yet, the solution is so simple but hardly ever implemented in these countries.

Just BUILD MORE HOUSING. Mass build everywhere. Vast amounts of land is available. Just build homes and apartments everywhere!

I am sure you understood what I meant.

I am not sure about the stats in the UK particularly but the "consanguinity rate" per capita wise is a lot higher in the middle east.

"The consanguinity rate in the UAE has increased from 39% to 50.5% in one generation."

From what I have learned, it has a lot to do with "wealth preservation". Something important I guess if you are a millionaire sheikh and get regular allowances from the ruling royal family according to your family title/name.

I find it utterly amazing that a country like the USA does not have nationwide high-speed rail and mass transit in every major city (that works for everyone).

Comparing with Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia) and certain EU countries (Vienna, Netherlands, etc.), it just shocks me how much people need a car for everything. Even a visitor needs to rent a car to properly go about their business.

very interesting perspective, something that several people I speak with have touched on. I wish you all the best!
