Sadiq Khan: ‘Free young people from Brexit work and travel ban’ - I'm glad there is at least some people that are trying to mitigate some of the negative effects of Brexit for the next generation of UK citizens. I bet things feel very tight at the minute for them. I grew up in mainland europe, so I was always going to be pro europe. I decided early on during Brexit that I'd be ok with either decision, even if I'd prefer to remain. You have to support your country. I could see there were many things wrong with how europe was being run, and if there was a mojority that wanted to leave, then we should trust that. I never saw leaving as the end. I think people both sides have had a lot of time to think through importamt things. I also think many in Europe miss the UK being a member country. Who knows what will happen in the future, so many possibilities, but start by opening things up for the next generation, maybe they will find a way to build something better. They have the energy and vitality, they have more powerful tools, more well defined problem spaces. We did what was possible at the time. www.theguardian.com #

Now OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants billions for AI chip fabs - Somewhat missleading title, it's likely they want to create chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) packaging facilities. I guess the details are still not yet known. It is interesting though, especially as much of the money would be coming from Abu-dabi or Japan. How much of our future freedoms would he be giving away to secure the deal? The answer should be none, but it's not always very obvious, so it's worth asking the question. Has he even thought about that? www.theregister.com #

BrigJS/brig: User Interface Toolkits for Node.js - Interesting because it's based on QT. Back in my days working in the VFX industry, several of the facilities I worked at used QT for their custom tools. I don't remember it being the best by any stretch, but for basic robust UIs that work well, it was pretty great. Would be cool to have something similar for node. github.com #

New Post: Belgium and communes - Remembering some aspects of what it was like to growup in Belgium. It's really strange the seemingly obvious things you missed, and wonder later how it was that you never noticed. Some things just weren't relevant, but they become more relevant as you get older. markjgsmith.com #
