@mapto@feddit.bg Bulgaria seems to push much harder for photovoltaic+battery, which already balances the wider energy market.(link in Bulgarian)capital.bg/biznes/energetika/2
@mapto@feddit.bg compared to Bulgaria's 0, this is huge.
@balkanika wait for it...

I am not anti-AI. I build and ship AI products every day. What I object to is the pattern where a CTO wins applause in Q1 for bold AI-driven headcount cuts, and then in Q4 is quietly rehiring those same roles through an offshore agency while attributing the reversal to "integration challenges." That is not progress. That is a career arc dressed up as transformation. And it is costing shareholders, employees and customers at the same time.@artificial_intel
Here is what makes this worse than a normal bad tech bet. Most of these decisions were not made by people who understood the limits of the technology. Visier's head of research, Andrea Derler, put the problem bluntly, noting that senior executives have not taken the time to understand what AI can and cannot do, according to PeopleMatters. IBM's CEO survey confirmed it. 64% said the fear of falling behind drives them to invest in technologies before they understand the value.@artificial_intel
@ekZepp @matdevdug "Instead it became the only place consistently posting trustworthy information I could actually access. This became personally relevant when Trump threatened to invade Greenland, which is the kind of sentence I never expected to type and yet here we are. It would be funny if I wasn't a tiny bit concerned that my new home was going to get a CIA overnight regime change special in the middle of the night."
@ekZepp @matdevdug "So in this complete breakdown of the press came in the Fediverse. It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base."
@ekZepp funny, I thought this is what Google search is nowadays:"Threads was worthless because it’s the most boring social media website ever imagined. It’s a social media network designed by brands for brands, like if someone made a cable channel that was just advertisements and meta commentary about the advertisements you just saw. Billions of dollars at their disposal and Meta made a hot new social media network with the appeal of junk mail." @matdevdug
@mapto@feddit.bg turns out Macedonia is not the country with the least developed railways, and the link to Bulgaria is not the only one missing. It also has no links to Greece and Albania. Neither do these two countries have a link.balcanicaucaso.org/en/cp_artic

@mapto@feddit.bg @foufoutos @balkanika this one is a bit more elaborateekathimerini.com/news/1296410/
@mapto@feddit.bg @foufoutos do you know more? If I understand correctly, they sentenced the foreigners (a sentence that probably cannot be enforced) and in a separate trial covered up the politicians and administrators. There seems to be one Greek sentenced (Yiannis Lavranos), but I don't understand for what. Do they allege that he ordered the spying? If there's noone guilty of spying, how do they link a purchase of software services to particular deployments of these services?@balkanika
