Le premier ministre a échappé mercredi à deux motions de censure. Mais le flou persiste sur la manière dont il pourra faire adopter le projet de loi de finances. L’hypothèse des ordonnances trouve des partisans jusqu’à l’Elysée, de préférence au 49.3, pourtant plus sûr.
Le ministre des affaires étrangères iranien, Abbas Araghtchi, a annoncé que « désormais le calme règne ». « Nous avons le contrôle total » de la situation, a-t-il assuré. L’ONG Iran Human Rights déplore la mort d’au moins 3 428 manifestants depuis le début des mobilisations contre le régime, le 28 décembre.
La rencontre mercredi à Washington entre responsables américains, danois et groenlandais n’a pas permis de résoudre le “désaccord fondamental” entre les parties sur l’avenir du territoire arctique. Plusieurs pays, dont la France, ont annoncé l’envoi de soldats sur l’île, dans le cadre d’une mission militaire européenne.
The US president does not rule out military action in Iran, as Tehran temporarily shuts its airspace to nearly all flights.
Le ministre danois des affaires étrangères, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, et son homologue groenlandaise, Vivian Motzfeldt, étaient à Washington, mercredi, pour une réunion de crise avec le vice-président, J. D. Vance, et le secrétaire d’Etat, Marco Rubio.
Depuis la mort de Renee Good, abattue le 7 janvier par un agent de l’ICE, la police fédérale de l’immigration, les arrestations musclées et les exactions des agents fédéraux se multiplient à Minneapolis, comme en attestent de nombreuses vidéos virales. De quoi intensifier la peur et la défiance des habitants, souligne ce reportage du “New York Times”.
La multiplication des catastrophes naturelles pèse de plus en plus lourdement sur les municipalités. Alors que certaines compagnies d’assurances deviennent réticentes à les couvrir, les solutions publiques restent pour l’heure limitées.
Lancée le 15 janvier 2001, l’encyclopédie universelle numérique souffle ses 25 bougies. Ce sont près de 250 000 bénévoles qui écrivent, relisent et modifient des articles sur tous les sujets. Ce journaliste de “Die Zeit” se demande comment, à l’heure des robots conversationnels, ce condensé d’intelligence humaine peut survivre.
The BBC arrived at a grim scene in the evening, with rescuers still pulling bodies out of the mangled train.
The move comes as US President Donald Trump said Ukraine is "less ready" than the Russian president to make a peace deal.
Fcukers “L.U.C.K.Y.”
Shanny Wise’s deadpan affect is central to the Fcukers aesthetic. She’s a cool, aloof, understated presence at the center of otherwise extremely brash and ecstatic music. She’s a little more vulnerable and warm on “L.U.C.K.Y.,” a poppy house banger with lyrics about being grateful for finding a good boyfriend. It’s very sweet, but the emphasis is placed more on her feeling like she’s beaten the odds than on her affection for him. When she sings “you don’t wanna make me cry, make me mad, make me wanna die” on the bridge she seems relieved, but also a little sad that the bar was so low before they met. Buy it from Bandcamp.

The cache hierarchy of the 2008 Intel Nehalem x86 architecture. (Source: Intel)
Writing good, performant code depends strongly on an understanding of the underlying hardware. This is especially the case in scenarios like those involving embarrassingly parallel processing, which at first glance ought to be a cakewalk. With multiple threads doing their own thing without having to nag the other threads about anything it seems highly doubtful that even a novice could screw this up. Yet as [Keifer] details in a recent video on so-called false sharing, this is actually very easy, for a variety of reasons.

Any ebook reader will let you cram a Beauty and the Beast-sized library’s worth of books in your pocket, but so will your phone. An ebook reader offers a more book-like reading experience, with fewer distractions and less eye strain, and many include extra features, like adjustable frontlighting. Some really are pocketable. Others are waterproof or offer physical page-turning buttons, while a few even let you take notes. I’ve been using ebook readers for nearly a decade, and I’ve gone hands-on with dozens, from the Kindle Paperwhite to lesser-known rivals like the PocketBook Era. Whether you want something your kid can throw against the wall or a waterproof, warm-glow Kindle that won’t ruin your spa...
Following the proliferation of the nonconsensual sexual deepfakes on X, the platform has detailed changes to the Grok account's ability to edit images of real people. They match the changes reported on Tuesday by The Telegraph, as Grok's responses to prompts like "put her in a bikini" became censored. But in tests of the feature on Wednesday, we found that it was still relatively easy to get Grok to generate revealing deepfakes, while X and xAI owner Elon Musk blamed the problems on "user requests" and "times when adversarial hacking of Grok prompts does something unexpected." As of Wednesday evening, despite the policy's claims, our repor …

The balance bikes toddlers are rocking these days look like great fun, but not so great in the snow. Rather than see his kid’s favourite toy relegated to shed until spring, [John Boss] added electric power, and an extra wheel to make one fun-looking snow trike. Like a boss, you might say.
Physically, the trike is a delta configuration: two rear wheels and one front, though as you can see the front wheel has been turned into a ski. That’s not the most stable configuration, but by shifting the foot pegs to the front wheel and keeping the electronics down low, [John] is able to maintain a safe center of gravity. He’s also limiting the throttle so kiddo can’t go dangerously fast– indeed, the throttle...

L’arrêt commenté pose la question de l’articulation entre police générale du maire et police spéciale du représentant de l’État en matière de fermeture de débits de boissons. Un tel concours de polices avait donné lieu à des positions divergentes de la part des juges du fond, si bien que la solution du Conseil d’État était attendue. En s’inspirant de sa jurisprudence antérieure, ce dernier va considérer qu’un maire ne peut pas, au titre de ses pouvoirs de police générale, s’immiscer dans l’exercice de la police spéciale en ordonnant la fermeture temporaire d’un débit de boisson, sauf en cas de péril imminent. Le concours de polices générale et spéciale constitue une...

Naya has already shipped one successful Kickstarter for a weird keyboard. The Naya Create was an ergonomic split deck with four swappable controller addons: a touchpad, a trackball, a rotary encoder, or a 6DoF spatial mouse. The Connect takes that modular concept, applies it to a more traditional flat keyboard form factor, and expands the ecosystem to be even more flexible. And clearly, people are into the idea, because it hit its minuscule funding goal in just six minutes.
The Naya Connect has four main components: a low-profile 75% mechanical keyboard called the Naya Type, a 24-key multipad, a six-key programmable strip, and a dock. The …

An audio amplifier was once a fairly simple analogue device, but in recent decades a typical home entertainment amplifier will have expanded to include many digital functions. When these break they are often proprietary and not easy to repair, as was the case with a broken Pioneer surround-sound device given to [Boz]. It sat on the shelf for a few years until he had the idea of a jukebox for his ripped CDs, and his returning it to life with a new main board is something to behold.
Internally it’s a surprisingly modular design, meaning that the front panel with its VFD display and driver were intact and working, as were the class AB amplifier and its power supply. He had the service manual so reverse...

For those born with certain types of congenital deafness, the cochlear implant has been a positive and enabling technology. It uses electronics to step in as a replacement for the biological ear that doesn’t quite function properly, and provides a useful, if imperfect, sense of hearing to its users.
New research has promised another potential solution for some sufferers of congenital deafness. Instead of a supportive device, a gene therapy is used to enable the biological ear to function more as it should. The result is that patients get their sense of hearing, not from a prosthetic, but from their own ears themselves. New Therapy
