L'idée est géniale puisqu'il s'agit de rendre un texte totalement illisible pour une IA (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, et consorts) tout en le laissant parfaitement clair pour nous, pauvres humains. C'est un peu comme parler une langue que les machines ne comprennent pas.
Le secret de cette technique réside dans l'utilisation de caractères Unicode de largeur zéro (comme le fameux U+200B) qui sont des caractères qui existent informatiquement mais qui ne prennent aucune place à...

Le président américain a déclaré dimanche que le régime iranien était prêt à « négocier » après ses menaces d’opération militaire, ajoutant qu’« une rencontre est en cours de préparation ». Il a cependant prévenu que les Etats-Unis pourraient « devoir agir avant une rencontre ».

Pirate sites and services can be a real challenge for rightsholders to deal with. In India, however, recent court orders have proven to be quite effective.
Indian courts have issued pirate site blocking orders for over a decade. Initially, these orders were relatively basic, requiring local Internet providers to block specific domain names.
Super Dynamic++ Anti-Hydra Injunctions
These regular injunctions were only partially effective. After the High Court granted a blocking injunction, pirate sites would often switch to new domains, requiring rightsholders to return to court to get these blocked as well.
To deal with this problem, the dynamic injunction was invented. These orders were issued to more...

Vu chez RR Auction, un prototype de Macintosh TV. C’est le premier Macintosh noir, et c’est une machine qui même dans sa version commerciale est assez rare. Il était estimé à 5 000 $ et est parti pour 2 116 $ tout de même. Il y a quelques erreurs dans la description. Elle indique par exemple que la caméra est plus sombre que sur la version finale alors que c’est le récepteur infrarouge. Pour le reste, il y a un clavier Apple Keyboard II et une souris Apple noire. On peut voir quelques stickers (orange) pour indiquer que c’est un prototype, l’absence de prise antenne (et donc probablement de la carte tuner) et le fait que la machine utilise un lecteur de CD de type caddy.
On voit le lecteur de...

Dans son discours sur l'état de l'Union 2025, Ursula von der Leyen a promis une “stratégie européenne de lutte contre la pauvreté”, un arsenal social ambitieux pour éradiquer la pauvreté d'ici 2050. Mais alors que 93 millions d'Européens vivent déjà dans la précarité, cette promesse, qui sonne familière, est passée largement inaperçue. Sans budget massif ni cadre contraignant, la crédibilité de cette stratégie, éclipsée par les débats sur la défense et la géopolitique, reste plus que jamais en question. La pauvreté, un fléau négligé
En 2024, 93,3 millions de personnes vivaient sous le seuil de pauvreté ou d'exclusion sociale dans l'UE, soit un Européen sur cinq. En 2023, ce...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good skill to have, and [Void Electronics] walks us through a common emitter amplifier in a recent video you can see below.
The input design parameters are the gain and the collector voltage. You also have to pick a reasonable collector current within the range for your proposed device that provides enough power to the load. You also pick a quiescent voltage which, if you don’t have a good reason for picking a different value, will usually be half the supply voltage.
The calculations are approximate since the...

Le président républicain a affirmé dimanche qu’une réunion était en préparation avec les dirigeants de la République islamique, aux prises avec une vaste contestation qu’ils répriment dans le sang. Trump n’a toutefois pas écarté la possibilité d’une intervention militaire. Une option qui divise l’administration conservatrice, rapporte la presse américaine.

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable capacitors replace it with a vacuum, which presents some obvious mechanical difficulties, but does give the resulting capacitor a remarkable quality factor, high-voltage performance, and higher capacitance for plate area than their air-gapped brethren. [Shahriar] of [The Signal Path] managed to acquire a pair of these and took a detailed look at their construction and performance in a recent video. The vacuum capacitors don’t use quite the same parallel plate design as other variable capacitors. They instead make the...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia and Dalhousie University have found a young galaxy cluster that appears far hotter than theory allows. The international team, working with the National Research Council of Canada and using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, reported the discovery in the journal Nature. The study was led by Dazhi Zhou, a doctoral student in the UBC department of physics and astronomy. The work also involved Dr. Scott Chapman, a professor at Dalhousie University and an affiliate professor at UBC, who carried out much of the research while at the National Research Council of Canada. The scientists focused on a distant system called SPT2349–56. It existed just 1.4...

At the risk of starting a controversy: is there anyone who goes to the effort of setting up Home Assistant who wouldn’t really rather be living on the Enterprise-D? If such a person exists, it’s not [steve-gibbs5], who has not only put together a convincing LCARS dashboard on an Android tablet, but has also put together an easy-to-follow Instructable so you can too. In case you’ve been monkishly avoiding television since the mid-1980s, LCARS is the high-tech touchscreen interface used on Star Trek: The Next Generation and its sequels. It’s an iconic, instantly-recognizable aesthetic, and we think [Steve] nailed it, even if he was taking design cues from Voyager, which is… not everyone’s favorite...

Billy Woods has one of the highest batting averages in the game. Between his solo records like Hiding Places and Maps, and his collaborative albums with Elucid as Armand Hammer, the man has multiple stone-cold classics under his belt. And, while no one would ever claim that Woods' albums were light-hearted fare (these are not party records), Golliwog represents his darkest to date.
This is not your typical horrorcore record. Others, like Geto Boys, Gravediggaz, and Insane Clown Posse, reach for slasher aesthetics and shock tactics. But what Billy Woods has crafted is more A24 than Blumhouse. Sure, the first track is called "Jumpscare," an …

The classic thought experiment about a horse-sized duck and a hundred duck-sized horses is more than a joke. It captures a deep tradeoff between quantity and quality that shows up in nature, including in the tiny societies under your feet. How Ant Societies Tackle the Quantity–Quality Dilemma A new study shows that some ant species solved this tradeoff by going all in on numbers. Instead of building each worker as a heavily armored fortress, they invest less in individual protection and redirect those nutrients into making more ants. That choice, the researchers found, did not doom those species. It paid off. Colonies with cheaper, less protected workers often became bigger and more evolutionarily...

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is one of those specialised manufacturing processes that are traditionally expensive and therefore somewhat underrepresented in the DIY and hacker scenes. It’s with great delight that we present EnderSpark, a solution to not one but two problems.

The second problem is what to do with all those broken and forgotten previous-generation Creality Ender 3D printers we know you have stashed away.

Earlier this month, The Guardian published an investigation that showed Google was serving up misleading and outright false information via its AI overviews in response to certain medical inquiries. Now those results appear to have been removed. According to the original report: In one case that experts described as "really dangerous", Google wrongly advised people with pancreatic cancer to avoid high-fat foods. Experts said this was the exact opposite of what should be recommended, and may increase the risk of patients dying from the disease.
In another "alarming" example, the company provided bogus information about crucial liver func …

It happens every year: we set ambitious New Year's resolutions - work out more, spend less, keep the house cleaner - full of optimism and motivation. Then life happens, and suddenly it's June and you can't recall what your resolutions even were. But it doesn't have to be that way. Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of motivation but rather a lack of tools, the kind that can make those goals feel more manageable and easier to achieve. After all, the right gear can help turn good intentions into habits that actually last.

L'actu de la semaine décryptée par Conspiracy Watch (du 05/01/2026 au 11/01/2026).

At some point during our primary school careers, most of us probably constructed a simple compass, often by floating a magnetized needle on a cork in a cup of water. The water in such a configuration not only lets the needle spin without friction, but also dampens out (so to speak) the needle’s tendency to swing back and forth across the north-south line. Liquid-filled compasses use the same principle, but even well-made compasses can develop bubbles when exposed to temperature or pressure variations. Rather than accept this unsightly state of affairs, [The Map Reading Company] designed a new kind of liquid-free, inductively-damped compass.
It’s hard to design a compass that settles quickly, even if it...

If you're one of the many, many people who received a password reset email from Instagram the other day, the company says it fixed the issue. What was the issue? Unclear. We reached out to Meta for clarification and have yet to receive a response. All we know is that an "external party" triggered the emails, and Instagram says you can safely ignore them. The company posted on X that the issue had been fixed and also claimed there was no breach of its systems. This seemingly contradicts reports from Malwarebytes, which said that information on 17.5 million Instagram accounts, including usernames, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email …

Australia’s construction sector may be on the brink of a quiet revolution, one built from soil, water, and something most people throw away. Engineers at RMIT University have developed a new building material that dramatically cuts carbon emissions while giving waste cardboard a second life. The material, called cardboard-confined rammed earth, could reshape how homes and small buildings are designed, especially in a warming world under pressure to reduce emissions. Concrete has long been the backbone of modern construction, but it comes with a heavy environmental cost. Cement and concrete production account for roughly 8 percent of global carbon emissions each year. At the same time, Australia sends more...

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is in line to potentially earn $35 billion in stock options, so long as the company hits a $100 billion market cap. One way to hit that target is by cutting costs, and one way of cutting costs is to close down a bunch of stores. The company closed 590 stores in fiscal year 2024, and said in a recent SEC filing that it anticipates "closing a significant number of additional stores in fiscal 2025." With the fiscal year set to end on January 31st, it appears the race is on, and according to a blog tracking closures, GameStop is planning on shuttering (or already has) over 430 stores this month.

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried to watch that activity in real time by shining lasers into the brain. Now a new tool lets brain cells light themselves from within, turning them into tiny living lanterns. Lighting Up the Brain From Within About a decade ago, a team of neuroscientists started asking a bold question: “What if we could light up the brain from the inside?” said Christopher Moore, a professor of brain science at Brown University. Instead of blasting tissue with outside light, they wondered if neurons could make their own glow. That idea led to the launch of the Bioluminescence Hub at Brown’s Carney...

A new study offers fresh hope for people living with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Researchers report progress toward a pill that lowers blood sugar and boosts fat burning without cutting appetite or weakening muscles. The findings come from a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University. The drug works very differently from popular treatments like Ozempic. Those medications rely on gut and brain signals to reduce hunger and are usually given by injection. While effective, they often bring nausea, stomach issues, appetite loss, and muscle decline. The new approach aims to avoid those problems by targeting how muscles use energy. Instead of telling the brain to eat less, the treatment...
