Another issue with solar deployment is that there needs to be power cables that can consume the electricity.
But a train company practically always has running trains when the sun is shining. So they wouldn’t need to worry about disabling and losing money on the panels.
The real challenge is economically connecting the panels to a rail substation.
I always wondered why there is no code/package overlap between CodeMirror and ProseMirror (or now Wordgard). Have you tried this? Were there particular blockers?
I want governments and banks to allow open-source software, not control my phone.
For example, I essentially trust the ROM I download from the GrapheneOS website. What I want is for governments, banks, or some independent open foundation to be able to approve that ROM too, so attestation can work with it.
More like how CA certificates work: not perfect, but not locked to one vendor either.
Practically speaking, I can set up real hardware-enforced boot integrity on my Framework laptop today, both on Arch with sbctl and on NixOS with Lanzaboote or Limine.
There are still many unsolved problems in hardware security, so this is definitely not solved today. But I don’t see why it should be impossible. The EU could push the industry toward attestation models that respect user ownership instead of locking everything behind vendor-controlled software.
The problem is that the differences between flagship and local models are compounding heavily. An 4% different could be massive when you keep iterating on the same code base.
Yes, I believe in reinventing methodologies for the rise of agents.
Before even discussing with my team whether something is a good idea, I can have a full prototype in a new branch within one morning. But then use it as a proof of concept and delete the code.
Another example: agents can generate full test coverage. Including mocking external dependencies and user behavior. Also all in one morning.
Why reinvent methodologies? The cost functions have changed. And agents add new problems, such as hallucinations and tech debt. I think reinventing is a good word since these processes already exist. But the emphasis would shift toward particular parts, making some of them much more mandatory.
I tried pi before but the gap between codex and pi is too big for me to be productive. Ideally lazypi is easy to disable or add plugins as well.
