Les tensions croissantes au Moyen-Orient rappellent une réalité souvent sous-estimée dans les débats européens : la sécurité du continent demeure étroitement liée à la stabilité de son voisinage méridional. Entre OTAN, Iran et Méditerranée orientale, la Turquie s'impose comme un acteur clé de la sécurité européenne, au cœur d'un équilibre stratégique de plus en plus fragile. Une escalade régionale aux répercussions directes pour l'Europe
Rivalités autour du programme nucléaire iranien, affrontements indirects entre puissances régionales, multiplication des crises au Levant, autant de dynamiques qui fragilisent un équilibre géopolitique déjà précaire.

The high-profile Democrat, a leading contender in California's governor race, firmly denies the accusations.

Le vice-président américain a expliqué que les Iraniens refusaient d’accepter les « conditions » de Washington, notamment « un engagement clair de leur part qu’ils ne chercheront pas à se doter d’une arme nucléaire ».

Easter festivities are muted in Kharkiv as Ukrainians expect fighting to flare up again after a weekend truce.

Washington et Téhéran ne sont pas parvenus à s’entendre pour mettre fin à la guerre au Moyen-Orient, a annoncé dimanche le vice-président américain J.D. Vance, au terme de 21 heures de négociations au Pakistan. Cette impasse diplomatique fragilise le cessez-le-feu de deux semaines conclu la semaine dernière, observe la presse américaine.

Most polls favour Péter Magyar, who fronts a grassroots party, but PM Viktor Orbán has been in a defiant mood.

Pour la première fois depuis 2010, le premier ministre hongrois, eurosceptique et dénoncé pour ses dérives autoritaires, est donné perdant. Un nouveau challenger issu de son propre parti, Péter Magyar, fait figure de favori.

En poussant à l’adoption du yuan comme devise dans le détroit d’Ormuz et pour leurs échanges, Téhéran et Pékin ne font pas qu’échapper aux sanctions américaines. Ils remettent en cause le roi dollar. Mais la route sera longue avant que la monnaie chinoise n’ébranle l’hégémonie du pétrodollar, explique “Al-Jazeera”.

Kiki bills itself as the “array programming system of unknown origin.” We thought it reminded us of APL which, all by itself, isn’t a bad thing.
The announcement post is decidedly imaginative. However, it is a bit sparse on details. So once you’ve read through it, you’ll want to check out the playground, which is also very artistically styled.
If you explore the top bar, you’ll find the learn button is especially helpful, although the ref and idiom buttons are also useful. Then you’ll find some examples along with a few other interesting tidbits. One odd thing is that Kiki reads right to left. So “2 :* 3 :+ 1” is (1+3)2 not (23)+1. Of course, you can use parentheses to be specific.

Dutch regulators, the RDW, announced that after over a year and a half of testing, it has officially approved Tesla's Full-Self Driving (FSD) Supervised. This makes the Netherlands the first European country to authorize the use of FSD on its roads. This could open the door to wider adoption throughout the EU. Tesla's European headquarters is located in Amsterdam, so it's only fitting that the country is the first to embrace the company's FSD.
In a statement announcing the approval, the RDW said that, "Using driver assistance systems correctly makes a positive contribution to road safety because the driver is supported in their driving task …

There’s a long history of devices originally used for communication being made into computers, with relay switching circuits, vacuum tubes, and transistors being some well-known examples. In a smaller way, pneumatic tubes likewise deserve a place on the list; [soiboi soft], for example, has used pneumatic systems to build actuators, logic systems, and displays, including this latching seven-segment display.
Each segment in the display is made of a cavity behind a silicone sheet; when a vacuum is applied, the front sheet is pulled into the cavity. A vacuum-controlled switch (much like a transistor, as we’ve covered before) connects to the cavity, so that each segment can be latched open or closed. Each...

Although we can already buy commercial transceiver solutions that allow us to use PCIe devices like GPUs outside of a PC, these use an encapsulating protocol like Thunderbolt rather than straight PCIe. The appeal of  [Sylvain Munaut]’s project is thus that it dodges all that and tries to use plain PCIe with off-the-shelf QSFP transceivers.
As explained in the intro, this doesn’t come without a host of compatibility issues, least of all PCIe device detection, side-channel clocking and for PCIe Gen 3 its equalization training feature that falls flat if you try to send it over an SFP link. Fortunately [Eli Billauer] had done much of the leg work already back in 2016, making Gen 2 PCIe work over SFP+.

Le grand oral : épreuve de parole ou mise en scène ?
Initialement, cette expression évoque l’ultime épreuve de ce qu’autrefois on appelait « l’ENA » ; maintenant, c’est l’épreuve où le bac se joue. Schématiquement, l’exercice initial relevait d’une forme très spécifique d’entretien d’embauche, puisqu’il cloturait un recrutement pour la fonction publique et ne visait donc pas l’intégration du candidat dans une équipe entrepreneuriale. La différence n’est pas mince, puisque le fonctionnaire, dans la conception hégélienne, est un « serviteur de l’universel » qui doit son éthos à sa « fonction » et non à sa personne. Cette mise au service de...

You probably don’t think about it much, but your PC probably has a TPM or Trusted Platform Module. Windows 11 requires one, and most often, it stores keys to validate your boot process. Most people use it for that, and nothing else. However, it is, in reality, a perfectly good hardware token. It can store secret data in a way that is very difficult to hack. Even you can’t export your own secrets from the TPM. [Remy] shows us how to store your SSH keys right on your TPM device. We’ll quote [Remy] about the advantages:
The private key never leaves the device, you yourself can’t even extract it, neither can malware. It does not live on your filesystem or in an ssh-agent (in memory)…

In June 2020, Spanish police led a Europe-wide operation that arrested 11 people connected to a pirate IPTV platform with two million subscribers. Europol and Eurojust announced the action with considerable fanfare but declined to name the service. However, at the time we confirmed that a key target was RapidIPTV, a platform that had been quietly running an IPTV streaming empire since at least 2014.
The authorities saw Amir Z. as the alleged mastermind behind the empire, which also offered a ‘franchise’ model. The man, known to his colleagues as “Dash the Iranian,” was arrested, and this week, after nearly six years of pre-trial proceedings, the prosecution formally started in court.

Polymarket bets started popping up in Google News alongside legitimate news articles. But now those results aren't showing, and Google says they were never supposed to. Spokesperson Ned Adriance told The Verge that "Google News is designed to show sources that create content about current issues, events, and important topics, and we have policies for sites to be eligible to appear. This site briefly appeared in Google News in error, and it is no longer surfacing in News."

The illustration for The New Yorker's profile of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a jump scare. Altman stands in a blue sweater with a blank expression. Around his head hovers a cluster of disembodied faces - creepy alt-Altmans, their expressions ranging from anger to open-mouthed woe. Some barely look like Altman. One final face rests in his hands. And at the bottom, there's a disclosure that might spook many illustrators far more: "Visual by David Szauder; Generated using A.I."

You first, dude. | Image: The Pokémon Company, Nintendo Like many live-service games before it, Pokémon Champions' launch has been messy. The free-to-start battle sim, which is out now on the Switch and Switch 2 (and also coming to mobile later this year), is plagued with bugs, some of which cause issues with basic battle mechanics - not great for a game that's only about battling. But bugs can be fixed, and encouragingly, some of them already have been. Champions' bigger problem is that, in trying to be a competitive battling platform for all kinds of players, it risks satisfying none of them.
Coming hot on the heels of Pokopia, a creative and cozy spinoff with no battling whatsoever, Champions …

FTX's moves were secret. Everyone can see what World Liberty Financial is doing.

Talking with [Tom Nardi] on the podcast this week, he mentioned his favorite kind of hack: the community-developed open-source firmware that can be flashed into a commercial product that has crappy firmware, thus saving it. The example, just for the record, is the CrossPoint open e-book reader firmware that turns a mediocre cheap e-book into something that you can do anything you want with. Very nice!
And that got me thinking about “kinds of hacks” in general. Do we have a classification scheme for the hacks that we see here on Hackaday? For instance, the obvious precursor to many of Tom’s favorite hacks is the breaking-into-the-locked-firmware hack, where a device that didn’t want you loading your own...

“Not long ago, Australia’s ampurta, also known as the crest-tailed mulgara, hung on the precipice of extinction. Now, a new study has mapped its dramatic resurgence. This small marsupial increased its range by an area the size of Denmark between 2015 and 2021, building on an ongoing re-expansion. The ampurta resurged thanks to an introduced disease that drastically reduced the population of nonnative rabbits. That led to a drop in the number of foxes and feral cats that prey on small animals, including ampurtas.” From Mongabay.
