A cloud provider is a single point of failure, even if it advertizes redundancy. Any org can be cut out if the account gets closed, or a miscunfiguration gets deployed on all the provider sites.

Give the list of every children enrolled at school. Everyone is at risk of unemployment if governments keep focus on individuals being at fault for being unemployed, rather than ensuring proper conditions and training are available to avoid unemployment.


It looks like Apple need to go back to the drawing board for their passkey implementation.


AI companies are growing fast the amount of money being burned into the LLM pit.
There’s huge potential for burning more money into this pit.


Not enough paperclips, apparently.


We’re talking about different kind of proofs.
Proving a program is correct requires a formal specification and a formal verification with mathematics and/or formal methods. ie proving the behavior and result perfectly match specification for all possible inputs.
A test only proves that a program 1) returns the expected output for a specific input, or limited set of inputs, and 2) appears to behave correctly, ie there may be undefined behaviour but they don’t cause an immediate crash.


Actually proving that C code is correct is not easy.
Having a human developer manually write code that is less harmful/wrong, and doesn’t require proof, is probably easier.


Human trials have now started.

Macron set a goal to plant 1 billion trees. There’s concern that the government will give out subsidies to replant burned forest with pine tree monoculture, if that makes it easier to meet the 1 billion goal.
“If you need extra hire, a friend is looking for a job, I could get you in touch”


This made my day.


What new 2500 jobs is he talking about?


Ce qui est à priori une mauvaise idée
L’activité humaine est responsable de l’aggravation du climat, pas l’activité du soleil. Alors inutile de pointer le soleil.


Interesting. Hopefully this provide resources to worthwhile research projects, not generative AI (research) projects.
Given the homepage emphasis on (generative) AI, it’s not very encouraging. But hopefully I’m wrong.


I’m all for GPUs and memory being available to research that benefit public good, within limit. And less of it being available to LLMs.
AI companies are swallowing a large part of memory and some chips production, meaning less availability and higher prices for everyone. This is part of the resources misallocation. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/10/micron-ai-memory-shortage-hbm-nvidia-samsung.html


Fair point, GPUs are often used too, and have other uses for HPC workloads.
There is still a major misallocations of resources for AI. This infrastructure is badly needed by big tech for their AI growth plans. No one else need this much.
There’s no good reasons to build at that scale and so fast, for any reason.
There’s a need to lower overall energy and resources usage, and improve efficiency. Building many large datacenters for LLMs go in the wrong direction.
Mostly out of the loop, I use this fork as well. Apps distributed on the F-Droid repo are OSS, built from source, and screened for malware.
If the fork is no longer maintained I expect it to be removed from the repo, that should be announced on the blog with the regular app news.
Does that mean social housing would only be accessible to Celtic people, barring any recent immigrants such as Angles, Saxons, Vikings, …?
