Preheating is not in general forbidden in Germany, but you need a proper stationary heating system (can be even combustion based). Lexus probably has implemented it with the main combustion engine as remote start, which is a poor-man solution and considered inefficient and illegal.
It not only written in Rust, but they avoid basically any dependencies to third-party crates (beside the obligatory windows-sys/libc), optimizing probably for binary size.
To achieve this, they seem to re-implement considerable parts of the rust ecosystem (own TUI library implementation, own unicode handling, own arena implementation, ...).
I’m guessing this isn’t just to optimize for binary size. If you have the resources to avoid third party dependencies you eliminate the burden of having to build a trust case for the third party supply chain. That is the number one reason we sometimes reimplement things instead of using third party packages where I work: the risk from dependencies along with the effort required to establish that we can trust them is sometimes (not always) greater than just replacing it in house.
That was absolutely not what was said. The way it was phrased indicates it only applies to a subset of projects, plus there were weasel words to indicate that maybe it's not actually quite that high, plus AI was not explicitly mentioned and it easily could include a lot of traditionally-generated code.
I ran across the dashboard where I work that is tracking Copilot usage. According to the dashboard 22% of suggestions are accepted. I assume Microsoft is quoting a similar stat. This is VERY misleading, as more often than not, the suggestion is trash, but has 1 thing in it I want for reference to look up something that might actually help me. I accept the suggestion, which increases that stat, but AI didn’t ultimately write the resulting code that went to production.
I took a glance around this project, and it seems to be really high quality Rust. I would be shocked if it was AI-generated to any significant degree, given my own less-than-impressive results trying to get LLMs to write Rust.
Edit: I see the author isn’t very familiar with Rust, which makes it even more impressive.
How much cost reduction does 30% ai written code translate to? It's easy to imagine that ai doesn't write the most expensive lines of code. So it might correspond to 10% cost reduction.
10% is nothing to scoff at, but I don't think it should factor into the decision to rewrite existing packages or trust third parties if you're very security minded.
AI-writing has the cost of human orchestration, debugging, review. Code is now cheap to write, but for there to be a net efficiency gain, those other tasks have to not bloat too much.
It is used for building snap packages since some years and it worked most times but was not fully stable yet. Few times I had issues where I needed to restart the multipass daemon or even the host system.
The real security depends not only on the length and complexity of the password but also strongly on the used hashing algorithm and other measures like rate limits. Strongly focussing only on the password requirements is a bit short-eyed. Other factors like usability needs to be considered, too. I hope the still to published article consider this.
If modern algorithms like from the argon2 family are used with high workload settings, even shorter passwords could be safe if done properly.
Nevertheless, it is probably true that only very few follows current best practices.
Besides the mentioned possibilities, it also includes regional trains. It allows therefore to travel through whole Germany (of course usually slower than with the intercity trains that have less stops).
but outside of going to close by cities it's very unpractical
the moment you travel a longer distance it's not just "usually slower", it's most times way slower and you don't have the comfort of e.g. seat reservations and you tend to have to switch trains way more often meaning the chance of unexpected delays increases exponentially.
E.g. Berlin => Munich with ICE 4 hours but with RE+RB 12 hours. (RE,RB are included in the Germany wide ticket but IC,ICE are not)
Basically the ticket includes all metro transportation train networks across Germany as well as the trains which connect "regional" places (e.g. small cities, villages) with each other and the bigger hubs.
This still can be a major money saving, especially for people which live slightly outside the transportation network of a metro area (which helps because housing prices have been kinda high in many metro areas in recent years).
Or saves money e.g. in summer when taking a day trip to a lake or nice hiking place outside of the reach of the metro area (which also can be a big help for day trips for people earning just a bit about the limit under which you get social support).
I.e. it will help the most people which are currently affect the most by the current inflation and other post-covid effects, while it still is a really convenient thing for everyone else.
