L'Ifop a additionné les 15% des sondé·es ayant répondu positivement et les 31% ayant répondu « on peut l'adapter aux règles du pays » (manifestant ainsi plutôt une volonté de respecter les lois de la république). Cela donne un 46% artificiel, choquant, et que quasiment personne n'est allé vérifier.

Le mythe des inégalités de revenus
On vous fait croire que les fils de patrons et les fils d'ouvriers ne gagnent pas la même chose. Mais c'est simplement parce que les fils de patrons choisissent de devenir PDG alors que les fils d'ouvriers choisissent de devenir chômeurs de longue durée.

I often here that LLMs are great for writing tests, but I’m not fully on board with that. It’s very easy to miss cases when writing bigger test suite, or to write tests that are not correct (let’s not lie, we don’t always follow the red-green approach).

Strong advice! And I also found it efficient to focus and loop on the transitions between parts, those can feel less natural and might require some extra love.
Pro tip: if you’re giving a long conference talk or presentation and you dread run-throughs, you can just do them in chunks.
I give you permission 🙏

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.
He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."
