My cost of living in Spain vs Bali:
🇪🇸 SPAIN
🏠 Apartment: $1000/m (500each)
🍳 Cooked most of my meals: $350
🧺 Did my own laundry
🧹 Cleaned my own apartment
🚗 Had a car + maintenance $50
🏋️ Gym: $40
🤿 scuba diving: $15 per dive - $30/m
☕ Remote work, but daily life took more time
💰 Total: ~$940/month
🇮🇩 BALI

→ Cleaning + fresh sheets included
🍜 Healthy meals: $4–7/meal - $600/m

But I have way more time because I barely cook, do laundry, clean or deal with household stuff
It’s not just about spending less.
It’s about buying my time back

EU regulators want sovereign ai badly, american companies don’t run to follow their rules and can kill the switch anytime
too bad mistral ai is stable to get second to last place in any our benchmark, right after the model that timed out

I suggest we have bigger context window for our lives
2026 What I wrote to my co-founder: Dear Lena, I faced with mental capacity overload. I decided to dropout from my last screen time guilty pleasure: 30 min of “Emily in Paris” before sleep. Hopefully it will help my brain recover and I will have bigger context window for our project.

Claude told me I can't say I'm vegan because I steal honey from bees so:
I've been almost vegan for 6 weeks now.
Netflix made me do it. I watched a film where twin brothers tried different diets, one regular healthy diet, the other vegan and the vegan one got cool health benefits: he lost weight, visceral fat, lowered his biological age.
I actually gained 200 grams, but I feel good. Realized I eat a lot of animal products, from milk in coffee to chocolate.
I will stop now, because living in Cyprus and not eating meze feels illegal
Would you commit such an experiment?

Internet in Dubai was crazy expensive, but food and medicine was generally cheaper, as well as eating out. Utilities were also pricey, but gym and pool were included.
Public transport in Limassol is very limited, so car is a must. Renting a car would take additional €500 at minimum, so I just bought one,

whose job ai will take? accountants are first in the list
I am basically an accountant. I worked in 4 countries over last 4 years.
Not one company got even close to replacing a human with AI.
- AI can't scan physical paper documents vendors bring
- AI can't sign reports or take responsibility (aka go to jail for wrong taxes)
- Companies themselves don't want to give their data to AI corporation
replacing people with agents - not today
prove me wrong

My husband made a service and it's total shit.
All it had to do was show every construction project in Limassol with status and exact address.
Instead he made a heavy, text-stuffed mess with a confusing UI, a million details, and it's not even pretty.
How do you @ahmlvs even screw this up?
