As I understand it's mostly because it doesn't matter. It's not a standalone law, it's an amendment to the budget. Budget that has close to 0 chance to pass.

I believe they did the same thing last year. Everyone did their own pet amendments, claimed victories. And then when it was time to vote for the budget with all the amendments, the assembly unanimously voted against, scraping the whole thing.

Huh, all the time?

We were asked to migrate from Zoom to Teams recently. We have to use git and GitHub. Recently, there's a mandate to migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions. We have to use Windows or Mac, no Linux. We have to have the corporate VPN and antivirus running. And so on, and so on.

I don't know about PHP, but at work our artifacts are signed, and you certainly cannot have the signing certificate on your laptop. It's stored in some secure server, and only accessible from some allowlisted build nodes, for specific builds (release branch, ...).

Now of course, there are ways around that if required, but they are, by design, manual, cumbersome and slow. I could not create a release build locally in a few minutes. A few hours maybe if the whole organisation dedicated itself to it.

Yes, the GP was referring about Swiss German. Not sure if it's used in all the dialects, but at least Züritüütsch uses it.

But you're right it's most likely a much more recent import from French, just like "velo", "merci" and others.

The question is not about solar or not, it's about what amount makes sense in a given place at a given time.

Sunny places close to the equator can probably go 90%+ from solar + batteries. Somewhere like Europe will have a lower number, maybe more like 40/50%.

And there's still the big question of: what do we do when solar and wind and storage are not enough? Because the numbers above are averages, not constants.

Right now all the answers are unsatisfactory: do not match supply to demand, but there's only so much you can do before people can't afford to heat themselves, and it's not good for your industries. Use gas-powered plants, but we want a carbon free grid. Nuclear but it's very expensive. Massively overbuild renewables but it's also very expensive. Add transmissions to far away places where they have power: also very expensive, and an added dependency/geopolitical risk.

On average. That doesn't mean there aren't sunny weeks where you get a lot more, and dark weeks where you get less. For instance if you get snow, output is pretty much 0 unless you clean them.

I believe there were 7-10 days in January 2025 where both solar and wind were in the single % digit for instance.

It's definitely a better approach. I was just checking what the models were capable of with a simple one off approach. And honestly, it mostly did what I required, which was the texture work. The rest didn't really matter in my case.

I'm sure with a bit more efforts/tokens, you can do something amazing, with a virtual visit and so on.

Fwiw, I'm currently having an house built, and I was asked to choose the colour of the garage door.

I tried giving AI all the plans, descriptions, 2D artist renders, and pictures of the house under construction so that it could make a render with a bunch of different options to help me choose.

The textures were surprisingly good, but the overall plan was a total disaster, even if I tried to guide it. It's two semi detached houses, but there was just one really long house. There was either one too many floor or one missing. The windows were totally random. And the orientation/positioning of the buildings on the plot had nothing to do with the plan. It even hallucinated stairs to reach the property when the whole thing is flat.

All of this to say I don't think AI is there yet to build this kind of illustrations based on just a floor plan and some pictures.

I believe the argument was that for some people, switching stocks into cash actually do change the wealth, because they own such a large % they are meaningfully moving the market by selling (the "paper money" argument).

And the answer to that was "if you're so afraid that selling will tank the value of the stock, then we [the government] will happily take your taxes as stocks directly, and we take on the risk that selling it will reduce its value".

AI auditing of dependency updates will mostly likely come soon (if it's not already there), and should mitigate the most obvious cases at least.

(By this I mean integrated in something like dependabot, not just some security companies doing it and publishing reports.)

Well, if the first increment is 100%, you only need 50% the next time to get the same absolute increase as the first time. And then 33%, and so on.

That's how I read it at least.

That works for artifacts, but there's no easy solutions for all the security tools that relies on pulling up to date external databases. Databases that are out of your control and often down in my experience.

For what it's worth, at my workplace AI has uncovered quite a few issues that have been there for a decade or two and survived countless rounds of careful reviews, external security analysis, pen testing and so forth for all those years.

What's compilation time like when using it?

I see there's an issue in the tracker to get more accurate data, and since it's using an under dev feature in compilers, it's not going to be definitive, but any rough numbers?
