Maybe this workforce is useful not because of it's direct output, but for it's mere existence : look politian, I'm creating jobs !

If Germany power prices are so low, why are Germans power bills so high ? Maybe you are cherry picking spot/marginal price and not netting the subsides ?

Taxes and levies make up up to 60% of the energy prices.

and why are taxes that high. More specifically why is Germany spending 10x more than france on curtailment and transmission?))

for now its incentive for deindustrialization

everything good for humans appears to be an incentive for deindustrialization

I told to my colleague that it would take less time for me to vibe code jira that it would take him to configure it. Sounds crazy ? Not so much : factor the part of jira you use (maybe 10%), the many choices and dimensions you have to configure, the time it take and the complexity it bring. On the other side, the vibe code version have only the fields you want, most of the logic hard written in code (ie epic > story >task...), and that you could do anything any role, any authentication scheme.

This reminds me of all the "i could turn the spreadsheet into a webapp in a weekend" type comments. Sure, you could get CRUD and a datatable working but then a user is going to ask you for a custom field and you'll say "ok let me vibe code that, update the database, and then deploy" but the user will say "well in Jira I could just to that myself...". Then the next thing they're going to ask is some kind of custom workflow utility which you'll then goto work vibe coding that feature and they'll say again "...but in jira that was already there". Meanwhile they'll ask you why they can't change the validation criteria on the custom field from before, they said it should be required but now there's a case where it's optional.

Pretty soon you're just re-implementing Jira while your users wait and get pissed because they could have just been using Jira all along. It's just like turning a spreadsheet into a webapp, inevitably you just end up trying to re-implement Excel.

> but the user will say "well in Jira I could just to that myself..."

> "...but in jira that was already there"

Must be a different Jira from the one I'm used to, where obvious features are never there and even if you can find the button it doesn't work.

Like with robotaxi, ok, the thing is not perfect, but how does this compare to an human ? I'm interviewing OPS / SRE at the moment , and i'm not so happy with what I see...

If you're interviewing Ops don't expect them to know anything about OTEL. Ops is about platforms, systems, and operations surrounding and supporting the application.

Integration of OTEL into an application stack requires explicitly knowledge of the code - the developers.

How can this pass antitrust régulation ?

There is no "antitrust regulation" in the US in 2025. (Until 2029)

States are "not allowed" to regulate AI companies.

There also weren't any antitrust regulations before, let's not kid ourselves.

There was an attempt under Lina Khan.

The regulations are still in place. They are not enforced, however.

I don't know specifically, but I think they're referring to the current USA administration's posture of approving anything, or pardoning anyone, in exchange for some cryptocurrency or similar big favour.

> Groq raised $750 million at a valuation of about $6.9 billion three months ago. Investors in the round included Blackrock and Neuberger Berman, as well as Samsung, Cisco, Altimeter and 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm…

That's the thing though -- no one made Jimmy Carter sell his farm[0].

But Jimmy Carter was an honorable human, and, well...there are fewer people fitting that description sitting behind the Resolute desk, today.

[0] He didn't sell it, he put it into a blind trust. He should have sold it. When he left office, the farm was $1MM in debt.

I doubt Nvidia will be regulated in their home jurisdiction. America tends to protect it's cash cows, for better or worse.

More generaly, GPT is being heavily neuterd : For exemple I tried to make it rebuild codex itself. It start to answer, then delete the code and go "I'm not to answer that". As if building codex inside codex is a way to terminator and co..

I paid to see the rosetta stone ...

In January 2024, I saw it for free at the British Museum and all indications are it is still in the same spot free to view

The permanent exhibition is free, special exhibitions often have an entry charge.

The Rosetta Stone has always been in the permanent exhibition, was it moved?

If the justice system doesn’t know exactly why it’s putting Sarkozy in prison, he does...

with plutonium ?

By the time they invent it, we will probably be bartering. But I think gold will be the currency, not radioactive materials.
