호주, 최대 전력소비처 재생에너지로 전환…3GW 확보

호주 최대 단일 전력소비처인 알루미늄 제조업체 토마고알루미늄(Tomago Aluminium)이 2028년 이후 제련소 가동을 위해 약 3기가와트(GW) 규모의 재생에너지와 전력 유연성 자원을 확보한다. 호주 연방정부와 뉴사우스웨일스(NSW)주 정부는 이를 위해 25억 호주달러(약 2조5000억원)를 지원한다.호주 정부가 13일(현지시간) 발표한 계획에 따르면 NSW주 정부는 2029년부터 10년간 최대 12억2500만 호주달러(약 1조2500억원)를 부담한다. 토마고알루미늄도 제련소 설비에 최소 11억 호주달러(약 1조1000억원)

유럽 폭염에 전력수요 최대 26% 증가…태양광 발전은 17% 늘어

유럽의 여름 폭염으로 냉방용 전력수요가 크게 늘어난 가운데 일부 국가에서는 태양광 발전량도 평소보다 최대 17% 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 고온과 가뭄으로 원전과 화력·수력발전이 제약을 받으면서 낮 시간대 태양광의 역할이 커졌다는 분석이다.에너지 싱크탱크 엠버(Ember)가 13일(현지시간) 공개한 분석에 따르면, 6월 말 폭염 당시 하루 전력수요는 직전 주보다 헝가리 26%, 이탈리아 22%, 프랑스 11%, 스페인 8% 증가했다.최대 전력수요도 헝가리 21%, 이탈리아 13%, 프랑스와 스페인에서 각각 8% 늘었다. 냉방기기 사용

How are developers supposed to security-test their own apps with Codex if security testing responses are blocked?

This situation is extremely frustrating. I am implementing some common RFC protocols that parse bit and network streams. After implementing these I have been trying to add AFL++ and boofuzz to test individual protocols and integration through the stack. The cyber security alert trips constantly. The worst part is that it’s a blackbox and I don’t know what output caused to trip. It’s constant. I’ve tried rephasing the prompt to be more defensive, but it doesn’t change anything. I have stubbornly worked through getting the fuzzers setup. My work around is piecing together scripts so that nothing is output through codex. I can ask 1000 questions slowly creating a system outside of codex and how to interpret the data, which circumvents tripping the cyber security halt, which kind of shows how futile this is, I just can’t have codex actually do anything useful. I’m at my wits end with these halts. Codex often gets stuck in a halting loop and my only recourse is to start a new chat or lament about how frustrating this is using strong language, which usually brings the session back. I’m considering canceling my subscription because I’m not going to pay $200 a month to see an alert every 2 minutes.

Codex credits consumed ~39,000 overnight with zero tasks — recurring bug, cap not enforced (GitHub #38294)

Update: the issue appears to be getting worse after another Codex reset. After the latest reset, my $200/month 20× Codex plan received an even lower weekly allocation. Previous reset: credits: 11951.706005000002 Latest reset: credits: 8503.59619 This is significantly below the expected weekly allowance (~55,000 credits for this plan). The current allocation looks more like a short-term usage window quota rather than a full weekly entitlement. The important point is that this does not look like normal high usage or credits being consumed too quickly. The problem appears to be that the weekly quota assigned after reset is incorrect . The issue has now reproduced across multiple reset cycles: Reset #1 → ~11,951 credits assigned Reset #2 → ~8,503 credits assigned Both times the account was unable to receive the expected 20× weekly allowance. The UI also confirms the account is fully exhausted: “You’re out of Codex and Work usage for now” Weekly usage limit: 0% remaining Credits remaining: 0 Could the Codex team please investigate whether: The reset process is assigning the wrong quota bucket. The account entitlement mapping for the $200/month 20× plan is incorrect. The weekly limit is being inherited from another tier or temporary usage window. This is related to the same quota/cap enforcement issues reported in this thread. This looks like an account provisioning/reset issue rather than a normal usage consumption issue. Thanks.

TAC rejecting after Persona passes — got Daybreak Blue approval email but still blocked

I applied for Trusted Access for Cyber as an individual. Persona verification succeeded. Immediately after, I received the Daybreak Blue approval email. But the TAC page still shows “Your identity couldn’t be verified or your account is ineligible at this time.” Support said they can’t provide details, can’t override, and don’t support retries or appeals. This doesn’t make sense — if Daybreak Blue was approved, the eligibility check clearly passed. Something between the approval and the TAC provisioning is broken.

Speaker Feedback Mitigation for GPT-Realtime-2.1 Mini with WebRTC

This is genuinely helpful — thank you. I hadn’t clocked that eagerness is scoped to “model detects an end” rather than the self-interruption/feedback case, so that gives me an actual dial to turn instead of just living with the behavior. I’m running a setup closer to your “iPhone-like” end of the spectrum (tablet with built-in hardware echo cancellation), so I may not hit the worst-case feedback loop you described, but I’ll test across a couple of eagerness settings and post back what I find — both in terms of false-interruption rate and any change in response latency. Will follow up once I have real numbers instead of anecdotes.

sqlite-utils 4.2.1

Release: sqlite-utils 4.2.1 Fixes a crashing bug in sqlite-utils 4.2 . I'd introduced code that looks like this: from typing_extensions import Self It turned out the typing-extensions package was not listed as a dependency for sqlite-utils - it was installed by one of the other dependencies in the dev dependency group , but when you uvx sqlite-utils directly you don't get those dependencies. As part of fixing this I figured out how to run a smoke test to ensure the CLI tool still works even without those dev dependencies, which can be run from the project checkout: uv run --isolated --no-default-groups sqlite-utils --help The --no-default-groups argument prevents it from installing that default dev group, and --isolated means that even if there is a .venv/ folder containing extra dependencies they will be ignored for the duration of that uv run command.

Please allow text-only messages in chats after reaching the image/file limit

This is for users who use ChatGPT free. I’d like to suggest a change to how the image/file usage limit works. If a conversation contains an image and I reach the image/file limit, the entire conversation can become unavailable for new messages. The warning says that chats that include files or images are paused until the usage limit resets. The problem is that I may not want to upload another image at all. I may just want to continue sending text messages in that conversation. For example, I have a very long conversation that I really don’t want to delete because it contains a lot of important context. I accidentally sent an image in it, and after reaching the image/file limit, I can’t continue the conversation with text until the limit resets. Could there be an option such as: “Continue with text only” Allow text messages while preventing additional file/image uploads Or allow users to remove an attachment from a conversation’s file/image usage without deleting the entire conversation I understand having limits on image/file uploads, especially for Free users. I’m not asking for unlimited uploads. I just think reaching the image/file limit shouldn’t prevent someone from continuing a conversation entirely with text. This would be especially helpful for very long conversations where deleting the conversation isn’t a reasonable solution. Thank you!

Provenance aware Collective Reasoning suggestion

Proposal: A Provenance-Aware Collective Reasoning Layer for ChatGPT Turning individual AI reasoning into cumulative, inspectable knowledge Submitted as a user-driven product and research proposal Executive proposal Today’s frontier AI systems can reason extraordinarily well within a conversation, but an important limitation remains: A significant amount of useful reasoning is generated during conversations but does not become a durable, structured starting point for future reasoning. A user can challenge a model’s assumptions, introduce overlooked evidence, expose a logical weakness, and cause the model to materially revise its conclusion. Yet the next user asking the same question may effectively begin from the model’s earlier state rather than from the improved reasoning that resulted from the previous investigation. I propose a Provenance-Aware Collective Reasoning Layer (PACRL) for ChatGPT. The objective would not be to make AI conclusions authoritative. The objective would be to allow evidence, hypotheses, arguments, counterarguments, confidence estimates, and model reasoning to accumulate over time while preserving their provenance and epistemic status. In simple terms: Don’t make the AI merely remember what people said. Make it remember what was established, what was inferred, why it was inferred, who challenged it, what survived those challenges, and what would change the conclusion. The core concept For a disputed question, ChatGPT should eventually be able to maint…
