but this holds only if the above list is really globally shared... one aspect is the globalization of issues. Even if an issue is local (eg population growth in CH/LU or decrease of public service in UK), people might hear about it and absorb it as their problem, making it a virtual local issue

My bet is a mix of the perceived... –clash of civilisations –immigration –culture wars –climate catatrophe –sense of "the future won't be better" –loss of communal feeling –increased individualism, fueled by digitization –loss of agency

Mh, my feeling is that local explanations for the rise of the extreme right vote can only go that far. The rise is widespread in so many western countries that so I rather bet on macro, global explanations.

yes, good point.

In Switzerland the public service is very good but the party with most votes has been for years the SVP, which extends comfortably into far right territory. A counter example? I have no idea, it's just a cheap thought :-0

In effect, this disrupt our capacity to type in what we want in a machine. The machine demands from us that we describe what we want before interpreting it. This means the #AI system is in charge, not the human any more. It's weird. And, on a more symbolic level, completely unsettling.

I am a bit puzzled by the change operated by #OpenAI when they transformed #GPTs into #Plugins. Now, the user cannot edit directly the instructions of a plugin anymore. Instead, it must interact with ChatGPT: asking it to list the instructions and then asking it to modify it. 1/2

je crois que le pire est au niveau meta : il repousse sans cesse les limites de qui devrait normalement être une ligne rouge. c'est la force de l'absurde. en France on se demande si un politicien va ou non souffrir de ses mensonges. probablement pas, si on continue à suivre les US. Anything goes

Je t'encourage! Tu as pas mal de chances de pouvoir commencer sans avoir fait la formation. Elle n'est pas strictement obligatoire, mais assure de meilleures conditions salariales. Selon les cantons, elle peut se faire à temps partiel.

yep. j'ai le même sentiment par rapport l'IA. Les gens semblent paralysés devant la problématique de l'IA. Quant OpenAI hacke les données médicales australiennes, l'Etat ne porte pas plainte comme il le ferait contre n'importe quel groupe de hackers normal. Arg là je mélange tout, désolé!

damn, tout ça va raviver l'intérêt de versionner les documents littéraires avec une blockchain, cette polluante technologie en quête d'un problème à résoudre.

*j'imagine que le versionage des documents qui pourrait démontrer un rythme "humain" dans la succession des différentes version d'un document pourrait aider à dissiper le doute enfin jusqu'à ce que les agents apprennent à générer du texte avec un rythme humain..

sous réserve en effet. Un accusation d'utilisation de l'IA n'est en général étayée que du résultat très discutable d'une analyse faite par une deuxième IA. * Un plagiat, lui, est visible de manière objective.

Merci! Une question: est-ce que ce test a tenu compte des différences dans la loi (et de la sévérité des peines prononcées) en France et Suisse? Je ne l'ai pas vu dans l'encadré Méthodologie.

Extremely impressive. The system guesses the phonemes that the person has been trying to vocalize and auto-correct and -complete them into words and sentences.

I cannot see of any possible safety risks here, but it's vibe-coding made by an incompetent coder, so I hope I will not contribute to an even unsafer internet. Use it at your own risk.

I wanted a tool to copy-paste trains connections from the sbb.ch website to my calendar in a simple text-format I have asked claude and ChaGPT to cook up a solution. It's a bookmarklet. The code to put in the bookmarklet's url is in this document: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

argh, sorry to hear. pour rejoindre les gens qui donnent des conseils sans avoir été solicités: un bassine d'eau froide (et des glaçons pourquoi pas) sous le bureau pour y plonger les pieds, ça marche assez bien. l'air con (qui porte peut-être bien son nom :-0) écolo

Thanks, interesting. A quick question: was there a control for other (e.g. socioeconomic) variables that could influence the outcomes? Many thanks.

and also for researchers. A 12-15% success rate is hard but might be still OK. Below 10% one can wonder if it's worth it. The Swiss SNSF's lottery for borderline applications in certain schemes (neither outstanding, nor clearly insufficient) is a weird, but interesting idea.

Daniel Saraga @danielsaraga.eurosky.social · 17/04/2026
mh... One has to understand the perspective of ERC: too many applications can be a problem. The ERC budget seems* to have increased more or less on par with the size of the pool of researchers* *(courtesy of a well know LLMS, numbers not checked).

Former WH Chief Strategist Steve Bannon suggested on his podcast this week that deploying ICE agents to airports is a “test case” for sending them to polling places on Election Day. History tells us that it’d be wise to take this seriously.

Thanks for the hint. Indeed, and there is no flag about this in the online version today (a month later) www.nature.com/articles/s41... This has been flagged on PubPeer pubpeer.com/publications... Sci Rep has work to do, and fast.
