Passer une bonne partie de son temps d'ingénieur et de son énergie électrique a servir les bots de ces IA, et à lutter contre leurs excès d'aspiration.

Heat engine captures energy as Earth cools at night – Physics World System can generate electricity when solar cells cannot

A new heat engine driven by the temperature difference between Earth’s surface and outer space has been developed by Tristan Deppe and Jeremy Munday at the University of California Davis. 🧪⚛️ ow.ly/qcho50Xz4M9

Shell ready to invest more in Italy if drilling permits unlocked Shell is ready to invest more in Italy to boost hydrocarbon production, the head of the energy group's Italian unit said on Wednesday, urging the government to allow new drilling.

This is corporate manslaughter!

Every new well that Shell sinks kills more people.

Recent cutting-edge work by #climate scientists demonstrates how we can now attribute the deaths that will be caused from individual oil & gas projects...

Attention
On nous annonce que ça glisse énormément ce matin
Vigilance en particulier sur les ponts.

Perso j'ai été repris par ma prof de français en 5eme sur le sujet. Donc a priori c'est pas récent.

Interview with Julien Nioche Creator of StormCrawler and Green IT Expert Introduction and Context Guillaume Pitel: Julien, we met almost 10 years ago, when I was at Exensa and we were getting serious about crawling.

- His new project Spruce: an open-source tool to measure and reduce cloud environmental impact
- Why GreenOps isn't really a technical problem—it's a human one: "It's not my wallet, but it's my planet"

Read the interview here : central.yourtext.guru/interview-wi...

Some highlights from our exchange:
- How he went from studying Russian to creating an impressive open source web crawlers
- Why the environmental impact of AI is becoming a data center crisis
- The opacity problem: why it's nearly impossible to know the carbon footprint of your cloud services

I recently sat down with Julien Nioche @begemoth.bsky.social, the creator of StormCrawler, for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey and the future of tech.

Those days, Julien has pivoted from crawling to something critical: Green Software and GreenOps.

I think the US tech advantage is just extremely brittle, especially if US foreign policy remains this dumb

"The FTC found that data broker Mobilewalla was collecting personal data—including precise location information—from RTB auctions without placing ads. Mobilewalla collected data on over a billion people, with an estimated 60% sourced directly from RTB auctions."

I think, of all the slides in this report, this is the most important -- it's really worth examining closely. This illustrates why the triumph of electrotechnical is inevitable.

Google Scholar Is Doomed Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Patricia Miralles V @MIRALLESMP «Ils sont restés parmi nous, vivants dans notre fidélité et dans notre souvenir» Maurice Genevoix, Ceux de 14 #11Novembre : rendons hommage aux héros de 14-18 et à tous ceux qui ont donné leur vie pour la France.

Incroyable hommage de l’ancienne ministre des Anciens combattants. On appréciera la double Bretagne, le casque allemand et la submersion (ou l’annexion ??) du sud de la France.

AI is already superhuman. So are libraries, cars, and calculators. Not a reason to abandon the strong history of science-led digital policy in the EU.

Bombshell report exposes how Meta relied on scam ad profits to fund AI Meta goosed its revenue by targeting users likely to click on scam ads, docs show.

A report citing internal documents indicates Meta knowingly profited billions from scam ads. The company reportedly hesitated to remove high-value scam accounts, fearing a revenue drop that could impact its significant AI investments.

Tweet from Ryan Moulton @moultano: Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Indeed ! we're not in the ranking yet but we can see the traffic and compare with ASNs for instance. Thanks a lot, even the best can make small mistakes 😉 and by the way, the radar is really an impressive tool. It's unique and really impressive.

YouTube video by Techish Podcast Why Black Founders Are Facing an Uphill Battle in Tech ft. Dominic-Madori Davis

> Black founders captured just 0.42% of the $69.9 billion in U.S. venture capital deployed in Q2

From 1.5% in 2020 to 0.4% -- Given these statistics, it's rational for me to deprioritize VCs and focus my energy on funding paths where I face fewer systemic barriers.

ft. @dominicmadori.bsky.social

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

School IB economics: Have we passed peak social media? Demand, market failure

Social media use begins global decline. For the first time, time spent on social media is falling worldwide. An analysis of 250,000 adults across 50 countries shows average daily use dropped nearly 10% since 2022, reversing a decade of growth. buff.ly/z7nfRnN

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Ah oui, l'écart est impressionnant pour les collisions cyclistes/piétons.

Alors c'est pas pour critiquer l'INSEE, mais 9 à 34.3% c'est large comme fourchette.
