Do any renowned OSS projects (e.g. OS, compilers, databases, libraries...) switched their review process and started allowing vibe-coded PR to be merged? A few months ago, there wa…

Well most of the increase in prices goes into petroleum companies' profits (at least the ones that can export). So it's technically not lost and will be invested somehow. Like a Ca…

That's only about 35% more than the main telecom operator here in Belgium (Proximus: $7.2B revenue in 2025, $2.5B market cap, positive earnings for 15+ years). Obviously Starlink c…

That might be part of the answer. But IIRC, in Belgium at least, these plants are also remunerated on "secondary" markets for non-productive tasks. These secondary markets are most…

It is 800W, but the battery allows it to buffer the excess and never output more than the legal limit.

Mine (Ecoflow Stream Ultra) has two 1200W regular sockets I can use while the grid down.

These inverters have to switch off if they cannot detect a grid signal, or if the grid frequency/voltage goes out of the safe range. Same legislation as the non-plug&play inverters…

You have to register to the utility, but that's just a form to fill with the model and power of the kit. With a e-meter, you will get compensated when you're generating a surplus (…

House is facing South, but I'm laying them flat on the floor for economic and aesthetic reasons, with some 3D printed brick-based ballast [1]. Buying supports for PV is actually le…

We legalized these in Belgium last year. I bought a 1600Wc + 1.9KWh kit (Ecoflow Stream) for +/- 1300€ last summer. It took us about 2h to install (we had to setup a new plug outsi…

A 10c€/kWh CfD is not strictly speaking a subsidy, at the government will recover the average market price. That being said, the total cost per kWh could well reach 20c/kWh, which …

Companies that do not reduce their workforce might outcompete you. It might not be about bringing more revenues but retaining market share.

I like Scaleway a lot too.

Interestingly, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is more Cyberpunk than anything Tesla is making!

Same experience here. On some tasks like build scripts, infra and CI stuff, I am getting a significant speedup. Maybe I am 2x faster on these tasks, when measured from start to PR.…

Could you try with some open-weighted models, e.g. Qwen3-coder, GLM-4.7 or Devstral-2?

The UK is actually world leading in wind electricity generation (especially offshore). So it's not all bad.

Why does he need to manually do the tracing or reference counting of all these nodes? Instead, he could just use the references he needs in the new tree, delete/override the old tr…

Made a typo, I meant 00s. I edited it, thanks :)

Meanwhile, according to the IEA, renewables investments exceed those in fossil fuels since +/- 2022 [1], and are expected to be the top electric power generator by 2026 [2]. The Tr…

I've been trying to use other LLM providers than OpenAI over the past few weeks: Claude, Deepseek, Mistral, local Ollama ... While Mistral might not have the best LLM performances,…

Couldn't the battery just do, as an example, 1 minute long charge then discharge cycles? For example, if the electricity price is -28€/MWh (like today in Germany), and your battery…

There might not even be any need for V2G or V2H. Just charging your car when the demand is low is probably enough to drastically reduce the overall cost of the system. And this has…

This is definitively possible. Are you thinking about YouTube or social media links?
