In any case, I think commuters are fine with every 15 min, as long as there's enough seats. (for long distance like trains, my feeling is that frequency below 15min doesn't have a lot of impact, unlike shorter distance public transport like tram/bus/subway)

Improvements on various train station (new underground stations in Geneva and Luzern, extra platforms, etc.).

(for example, there's also lots of tram, etc. projects)

That's not Gemini, that's AI Mode (in Search), they're different products built by fairly different part of Google (actually one is built by Deepmind).

(I don't think it's much comparable to https://gemini.google.com/app at least in the past you'd get very different results)

The new initiative is basically the same, but with no leeway to ignore it.

(that said I suspect if it passes, there will be something tied to the bilateral referendum in 2027/28 to try to supersede it)

Not really about immigration but EU relationship. Almost every SVP initiative tries to create a contradiction in the constitution with foreign agreements to force an "exit".

> The strong point of the Swiss political system is that the government is, by law, made up by all significant parties.

It's a tradition, not a rule (the composition of the council is simply the result of an election by the parliament).

Of course if you have EU dismantlers in power anyway in FR/DE, they'll just be happy to sabotage.

As OP explains, freedom of movement can't be stopped in isolation from the rest of the bilaterals.

(btw funnily Schengen is just about the border control, we're talking about freedom of movement which is a different thing, e.g. UK wasn't in Schengen but the freedom of movement applied to UK as well before brexit, tho I guess people use Schengen interchangeably)

Not really, the bilateral are a package and the EU doesn't want CH to pick and chose.

If freedom of movement stops, a whole lot of thing also stop. It happened the last time SVP got something similar voted on (introduction of quota for foreign immigration), on a smaller scale (erasmus and horizon which are the higher ed and academic research collaboration, CH was a heavy recipient of the latter).

I'm not sure you'll come out ahead. (Personally I don't get the outcry, except for nasdaq which has fairly stupid rules, delaying the inclusion of megacaps won't make the problem go away, but probably increase since the float will be massively larger). It's inherent to being a passive index.

The news from the S1 is that they're renting both (see OP).

also it's possible that the scale of inference needed (e.g. Jevons paradox) keeps growing to the point that training costs can fully be absorbed (since training cost is one off vs. inference that can scale).

(I suspect that might be the thinking, I don't know if it will be true, it's also possible that no model will create a moat big enough to attract enough of the inference traffic to make it true).

Depending on the chips/architecture used, the off-peak traffic from inference can also subsidize the training costs.

FWIW what is being discussed is not memory problems, it's breaking rust invariants (the unsafe code has to follow specific rules, e.g. annotate lifetimes properly).

FWIW I don't think this is accurate (was kinda true in the 2010s?). I wouldn't be surprised if it's almost easier to get windows laptop than linux one now.
