J'ai zappé de faire mon autopromo, mais lundi dans Technoculture je me posais une question : est-ce qu'il ne serait pas temps d'interdire X ?

Avec @panoramax.bsky.social pour illustrer 🤩

Reuters a contacté, selon le standard journalistique, X/Twitter pour un commentaire.

La plupart des gens n'ont jamais entendu parler de Hacker News.

Son influence est pourtant immense.

J'y ai noté un changement récent, un signal faible important.

Bilan d'impact pour un média ( @canardpc.com ) de l'abandon de X pour Bluesky :
_ 11 mois après l'abandon d'un compte X à 45K abonnés, notre compte Bluesky est proche de 20K abonnés
_ Malgré cette différence, les visites venues de Bluesky en 2025 représentent 90% des visites 2024 amenées par X

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I wrote this brief talk on why “augmenting diversity” with LLMs is empirically unsubstantiable, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful and a nice surprise to see the organisers have made it public

Returning from #EurIPS via a long-distance night bus rather than airplane for carbon footprint reason.
I think it is important that even senior researchers change our behavior: practices of the elite pull consumption up, asxour reaction to opportunities set norms.
PS: I do find it painful 😄

From OpenReview

This may be the most serious issue I have ever seen in the peer-review systems

However, as pointed out here, we should immediately report the bug to the team, instead of sharing in public or keeping silent

Very disappointing that some people actively exploited the vulnerability

uv makes installing and using Python *so* easy! It works on pretty much any computer and it's lightning fast. 🔭☄️ #astrocode

If you're still using conda, pyenv, or... basically any other tool, then I can *highly* recommend switching:

Released in 2024, uv is hands-down the best tool for managing Python installations and dependencies. Here's why.

The Wikipedia page about "False or misleading statements by Donald Trump" is so long that Wikipedia contributors are discussing to split it for legibility.

This is hilarious and very sad at the same time.
