@Lindaliciousss Quick someone! Put a windmill outside that window!!!

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@nic_amadio 😂 I heard of that, but thought it was only EU…

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@nic_amadio I have not taken the train in CH in the summer heat for a few years, but they definitely have AC and not just in 1st class. Are they capping or turning it off or what? 🤦‍♂️

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@lmkifiwin Just goes to show you have to pair a brilliant designer mind like that with a Steve Jobs or Elon Musk to get something revolutionary. Send the guy off to do it alone and you just get 💩

@BiankaB12 Nothing to show for it? 🤔

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@benedictk__ Sounds fun

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@ryancarson Agree with don’t ignore the signals, but if you think there will be no engineering org in the future you are NGMI with your POs directly pushing agentic 💩 to prod… The engineering role is being redefined, but don’t mistake “redefined” for “eliminated.”

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@KobeissiLetter Cool stuff, but I would take it with a grain of salt until they figure out something credible for cooling. As it stands, even if you could launch everything into orbit at low enough cost, you are still basically putting a huge radiator into an environment with perfect insulation.

Thrilled to be opening the P1 Programs Workshop on Green AI in Copenhagen this week with a keynote on Deaths Per Token, a health-impact unit for generative AI infrastructure.

@brian_armstrong @BurakYngn Firing people due to AI with a message clearly written by AI. Does it get more dystopian than that?

[@levelsio @levelsio]

100%

This is why you gotta make noise when you lose the little freedoms

As history shows repeatedly it's always a slippery slope

But making that noise makes you very unpopular because people can't see further ahead of the current thing

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@tibo_maker This is Switzerland, not France…

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@JustDeezGuy The OP’s point is even stupider: the name “Claude” works for both male and female.

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

You think someone will simply rent to you if you have zero Swiss income and on a German salary for a secondary residence? Even if they did and you got the permit, if this passes, you will likely be among the first ones to be thrown out with your permit canceled or not renewed.

Do it the right way: get a job in CH or create a company. Then get the place and the permit.

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

@StefanStillhart Worst part is, you will still get in trouble despite paying if you happen to make copies 😂

[Laurent Bindschaedler @lbindschaedler]

Little know fact. While interest rate on mortgages are super low as CHF is rock solid, you will still need to make enough to comfortably repay 3-4X the interest at 1.2% (or whatever the price is now) to qualify for the loan. So lower interest rates but you cannot leverage that to get a 5M house.

🎤 I am giving the keynote at #EuroMLSys 2026 in Edinburgh on April 27.

“What Survives When Code Doesn't?"

If AI rewrites your code until the artifact is effectively disposable, what anchors the system? Intent, state, composition, effect: where do they go?

More from Edinburgh next week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
