Les forces israéliennes ont bombardé, dimanche, le pont de Qasmiyeh, qui enjambe le Litani, dans le sud du Liban. Le président libanais, Joseph Aoun, a dénoncé les frappes menées contre des ponts et d’autres infrastructures, les qualifiant de « prélude à une invasion terrestre ».

L’ancien premier ministre (Horizons) Edouard Philippe a été réélu au Havre, avec 47,71 % des voix. A Rennes et à Nantes, les socialistes Nathalie Appéré et Johanna Rolland ont été réélues. Le maire PS sortant de Lille, Arnaud Deslandes, conserve la mairie.

First came the AI beauty pageant. Then the AI music contests. Now, there is an award for AI Personality of the Year - perhaps the inevitable next step for the AI influencer economy as it transforms from quirky novelty into a serious and lucrative industry. The contest, a joint venture between generative AI studio OpenArt and AI-powered creator platform Fanvue, with backing from AI voice company ElevenLabs, opens on Monday and runs for a month. The organizers said it is intended to "celebrate the creative talent 'behind' AI Influencers" and recognize their growing commercial and cultural clout. Contestants will compete for a total prize f …

Paris and Marseille are held by the Socialists in local elections which saw the nationalist right win in Nice and certain towns.

On Friday, Reuters reported that Amazon is going to try to get into the smartphone game…again. The Fire Phone was perhaps Amazon’s biggest commercial misstep, and was only on the market for about a year before it was discontinued in the summer of 2015. But now industry sources are saying that a new phone code-named “Transformer” is in the works from the e-commerce giant.
At this point, there’s no word on how much the phone would cost or when it would hit the market. The only information Reuters was able to squeeze out of their contacts was that the device would feature AI heavily. Real shocker there — anyone with an Echo device in their kitchen could tell you that Amazon is desperate to get you...

Métropoles qui pourraient basculer, personnalités politiques d’envergure nationale en lice… Retrouvez les résultats du second tour dans des villes particulièrement scrutées.

A la tête d’une large union de gauche, le maire a remporté les élections municipales, dimanche 22 mars, dans la deuxième ville de France, face au Rassemblement national.

Avec 48,54 % des voix, le candidat UDR-RN ravit la mairie au sortant (Horizons) (37,20 %) lors des élections municipales. La candidate écologiste, Juliette Chesnel-Le Roux, a recueilli 14,26 % des suffrages.

The violence began after 18-year-old settler Yehuda Sherman was killed after reportedly being hit by a vehicle driven by a Palestinian while on his quad bike.

Siri, can you tell me where I belong? | Image: DEEWEE Last week's recommendation, Sotomayor's Wabi Sabi, has a very particular vibe that you don't find in a lot of records. One of the few things it called to mind was 2022's Topical Dancer from Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul, which I ended up revisiting this week a lot.
The two records don't seem particularly alike on the surface. But they're both rough around the edges smash-ups of electronic and organic elements packaged for dancefloor abandon. The way the sounds and rhythms click together feels very much of the same ilk.
There are, of course, differences. Significant ones. Adigery and Pupul draw more heavily from rock and early electroni …

Odds are, you’ve taken pills before; it’s a statistical certainty that some of you reading this took several this morning. Whenever you do, you’re at the mercy of the manufacturer: you’re trusting that they’ve put in the specific active ingredients in the dosage listed on the package. Alas, given the world we live in, that doesn’t always happen. Double-checking actual concentrations requires expensive lab equipment like gas chromatography. It turns out checking for counterfeit pills is easier than you’d think, thanks to a technique called Disintegration Fingerprinting. The raw voltage signal from the sensor is stored as a “disintegration fingerprint” of particles detected per minute.

L’ancien Premier ministre Édouard Philippe, qui avait fait de sa victoire dans la ville de Seine-Maritime un préalable à une candidature en 2027, l’emporte. La porte-parole du RN Laure Lavalette subit une “défaite cuisante” à Toulon. David Guiraud (LFI) s’impose dans le Nord et les alliances de la gauche rencontrent des sorts divers, rapporte la presse étrangère. La participation, elle, est toujours basse.

That’s some sloppy looking slop. | Image: Rex_Spy / Reddit Reviews of Crimson Desert have been mixed, but the bigger issue for the game has been the discovery of what appeared to be AI-generated assets in the final release. Now the developer has acknowledged that AI art was indeed used during the game's creation, but says that it was intended to be replaced before release. In a statement on X, the company said it was conducting a "comprehensive audit" to identify and replace any AI-generated content. The company apologized for both its inclusion in the final release and for not being more transparent about its use during development. "We should have clearly disclosed our use of AI," it said.

Les affrontements au Moyen-Orient tournent autour des infrastructures vitales de la région, en ce 23e jour de guerre. Donald Trump a lancé un ultimatum pour que l’Iran rouvre complètement le détroit d’Ormuz et Téhéran a menacé de s’en prendre aux infrastructures énergétiques de ses adversaires. Israël a bombardé un pont stratégique, dans le sud du Liban, faisant craindre une invasion terrestre du pays.

Thermal energy storage is pretty great, as phase-change energy storage is very consistent with its energy output over time, unlike chemical batteries. You also get your pick from a wide range of materials that you can either heat up or cool down to store energy. Here, the selection is mostly dependent on how you wish to use that energy at a later date. [Hyperspace Pirate] is mostly interested in cooling down a house, on account of living in Florida.
As can be seen in the top image, the basic setup is pretty straightforward. PV solar power charges a battery until it’s fully charged. Then an MCU triggers a relay on the AC inverter, which then starts the cooling compressor on the water reservoir. This proceeds...

Amazon’s Prime Day sale may arrive earlier than usual this year, but there’s a deal event happening much sooner: Amazon’s annual Big Spring Sale, which is happening March 25th through the 31st. While it won’t be as big as Prime Day or Black Friday, it does offer you a chance to save money at a time when US tariffs have effectively increased the price of many gadgets and goods over the course of the past year. Dozens of excellent deals — some of which we haven’t seen in months — are already starting to pop up. Some items, like Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max, have dropped to their best price since Black Friday, while a few others, like the new Echo Dot Max and Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni, have...

Sorti le 18 mars en France, le film “Projet dernière chance”, avec Ryan Gosling, imagine qu’un microbe extraterrestre appelé l’“astrophage” (littéralement, le dévoreur d’étoiles) menace d’engloutir le Soleil et de plonger la Terre dans une nouvelle ère glaciaire. La presse scientifique s’interroge sur la probabilité d’un tel scénario en s’intéressant à une limace de mer qui “peut ‘manger’ la lumière du Soleil”.

De Split pilonnée par les Alliés pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale à l’Iran aujourd’hui, une même question traverse l’histoire : que ressent-on lorsque les bombes tombent au nom d’une cause que l’on partage ? L’écrivain croate Jurica Pavicic interroge ce paradoxe dans les pages de “Jutarnji List”, à Zagreb.

Grok, how do you make chips? | Image: Laura Normand / The Verge Elon Musk announced plans to build a Terafab plant in Austin, Texas, that will be jointly run by Tesla and SpaceX. The goal is to eventually build chips at scale for robotics, artificial intelligence, and space-based data centers for Musk's various companies.
Musk has expressed concern, as have other executives, about the chip industry's ability to keep up with demand as the AI industry has boomed. But building a chip fabrication plant is complex, requires billions of dollars, many years, and a ton of specialized equipment. And, as Bloomberg points out, Musk "has no background in semiconductor production and a history of over-promising on g...

The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980.  They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is especially popular in Asia. They’re cheap as, well, chips — under 1$ — but lack compatibility with modern toolchains. If you’re happy with C, then you’re fine, but if you want to plus-plus it up and use all those handy-dandy shortcuts provided by the Arduino ecosystem, you’re out of luck. Or rather, you were, until [Bùi Trịnh Thế Viên] aka [thevien257] came up with a workaround.
The workaround is delightfully Hack-y. One could, conceivably, port a compiler for Arduino’s  Wiring to the 8051, but...

Although the RTL-SDR is cheap, accessible, and capable enough for many projects, it does have some important limitations. In particular, its bandwidth is limited to about 3.2 MHz, and the price of SDRs tends to scale rapidly with bandwidth. [Anders Nielsen], however, is building a modular SDR with a target price of $50 USD, and has already reached a bandwidth of almost 20 MHz.
If this project looks familiar, it’s because we’ve covered an earlier iteration. At the time, [Anders] had built the PhaseLoom, which filters an incoming signal, mixes it down to baseband, and converts it to I/Q signals. The next stage is the PhaseLatch, a board housing a 20-MHz, 10-bit ADC, which samples the in-phase and quadrature...

J’avais parlé de la bêta de Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley et de Power Rangers Zeo Versus The Machine Empire, mais une troisième est disponible. Il s’agit de l’encyclopédie Compton (Compton’s Encyclopedia). Et contrairement au deux autres, le CD-ROM diffère de la version finale, a priori. Je ne vais pas trop détailler, parce que j’attends une copie du titre en question. Mais les ISO disponibles sur Internet (qui plantent sur des consoles avec trop de RAM) ne sont pas identiques à la version bêta. La bêta a été gravée aux environs du 31 octobres 1996, la version finale début décembre 1996 (le 2 décembre). Les fichiers d’authentifications sont bien différents, tout comme le...

IPTV pirate, BreachForums, fuite de données, OFII, Cl0p, ShinyHunters, Signal, WhatsApp : retour sur une semaine cyber sous très haute tension.

A few weeks ago, I migrated our e-book library to Booklore. Unfortunately, it seems that I backed the wrong horse: Booklore has since ceased to exist.
Unfortunately, toxicity isn't uncommon in open source projects, so I'm not going to add to it by talking much about the context behind Booklore being deleted.
However, as it's relevant to a decision that I made in this process, I will say that I was already a little concerned about the ongoing quality of Booklore, so it doesn't surprise me too much to hear that other people were being quite vociferous about the developer's use of AI coding tools (amongst other, IMO bigger, issues).
Whatever the rights or wrongs of it, Booklore's repo no longer exists, having...

Earlier this month, a California federal court dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit DISH had filed against UK hosting provider Innetra. DISH has accused the company of providing its services to pirate IPTV operations, including Lemo TV and Kemo IPTV, but it failed to establish jurisdiction. The dismissal was a clear setback for the American pay TV provider and its anti-piracy partner IBCAP. However, at a federal court in Florida, DISH Network still has a separate lawsuit pending that could impact the IPTV operations in a more direct manner. DISH vs. Lemo, Kemo, and IPTV Reseller
Last October, DISH filed a copyright infringement complaint against the alleged operators of the Lemo TV and Kemo IPTV pirate...
