Los Thuthanaka basically came out of nowhere last year to capture Pitchfork's album of the year with their self-titled debut. Because it wasn't available on streaming, it largely flew under the radar. I honestly kind of forgot about it until Pitchfork gave it the number one spot in its year-end list. In retrospect, I'm not entirely sure how, though. Los Thuthanaka sounds like nothing else. It's joyous, jagged, and sounds like it's being blasted out of a broken Bluetooth speaker in your neighbor's backyard - it's glorious.
The follow-up EP Wak'a turns down the tempo and smooths some of the sharper edges. It uses the same sound palette of blo …

L'actu de la semaine décryptée par Conspiracy Watch (du 30/03/2026 au 05/04/2026).

Le président américain s’est par ailleurs fendu d’un message particulièrement injurieux et truffé d’obscénités à l’adresse de l’Iran, s’attirant en retour des critiques d’élus aux Etats-Unis.

The US has rescued the missing crew member of the US F-15 fighter jet which was shot down over southern Iran.

Despite a few high-profile cases in recent years with lawyers getting caught using LLM-generated documents and facing disciplinary action due to this, it would seem that this is not deterring many other lawyers from following them off this particular cliff, per reporting from NPR.
We reported back in the innocent days of 2023 about the amusing case of Robert Mata v. Avianca, Inc. In this case, the plaintiff’s lawyer decided to have ChatGPT ‘assist’ with the legal filing, which ended up being filled with non-existent cases being cited, despite the chatbot’s assurance that these were all real cases. Now it would seem that this blind trust in cases cited by LLM chatbots is becoming the rule, rather than...

Alors que l’Ukraine doit adopter une série de lois pour obtenir des financements internationaux, le président ukrainien semble avoir perdu une partie de son influence sur sa majorité parlementaire. Ses fidèles tentent de maintenir la cohésion au sein de son parti, profondément lié à son ascension au pouvoir.

Vous n’avez pas suivi l’actualité samedi 4 et dimanche 5 avril ? Voici ce qu’il s’est passé pendant ces dernières quarante-huit heures.

The recovery of the airman follows separate search efforts by both the US and Iran.

The incident comes a week before the polls, and follow warnings of a potential operations staged to influence voters.

If Prime Video gets to adapt 'Mass Effect,' it'll be 'non-gamer friendly,' whatever that means.

The Supreme Court’s decision to reverse the billion-dollar piracy liability verdict against Cox Communications is a major win for Internet service providers. It confirms that they can’t be held liable for pirating activities of subscribers or customers unless they actively induce copyright infringement through specific acts, or if their service has no substantial non-infringing uses. For rightsholders, however, the ruling represents a significant setback, as it makes it much harder to hold ISPs liable for pirating subscribers.
Or, as Justice Sotomayor noted in her concurring Supreme Court opinion, the majority’s decision “permits ISPs to sell an internet connection to every single infringer who wants...

Trop autoritaire, trop permissif, pas assez présent… : c’est quoi être un bon parent ? Constatant le stress que la parentalité peut causer autour de lui, ce directeur d’école et auteur d’articles sur l’éducation dans le magazine américain “The Atlantic” estime que, pour éviter les risques que l’éducation des enfants fait parfois peser sur la santé mentale, il faut accepter de se voir comme un phare dans leur vie, un guide qui ne pourra pas toujours les protéger de tout.

AI music platform Suno's policy is that it does not permit the use of copyrighted material. You can upload your own tracks to remix or set your original lyrics to AI-generated music. But, it's supposed to recognize and stop you from using other people's songs and lyrics. Now, no system is perfect, but it turns out that Suno's copyright filters are incredibly easy to fool.
With minimal effort and some free software, Suno will spit out AI-generated imitations of popular songs like Beyoncé's "Freedom," Black Sabbath's "Paranoid," and Aqua's "Barbie Girl" that are alarmingly close to the original. Most people will likely be able to tell the dif …

À Rome, lors d’une messe célébrée devant près de 60 000 fidèles, le pape Léon XIV a prononcé un discours de paix appelant, sans en citer aucun, les dirigeants mondiaux à mettre fin aux guerres. Dans le sillage de son prédécesseur, François, le souverain pontife a également fustigé “la résignation à l’indifférence”.

Au bar Totà, dans la capitale, des Libanais et Libanaises viennent déclamer des poèmes. Dans l’horreur de la guerre, ces soirées sont devenues un refuge pour se sentir moins seul et exprimer ses émotions, mais aussi pour organiser des collectes pour les personnes déplacées, raconte “L’Orient-Le Jour”.

Contraints de quitter le sud du pays au gré des bombardements et des ordres d’évacuation de l’armée israélienne, des milliers de Libanais se résignent à enterrer leurs proches loin de leurs terres d’origine, dans des sépultures provisoires.

L’embarcation « en bois » était partie la veille de Libye avec à son bord 105 femmes, hommes et enfants, selon deux ONG. Depuis le début de l’année, 683 migrants sont morts ou ont été portés disparus en Méditerranée centrale, selon l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations.

Dans les colonnes du média italien “Il Post”, la journaliste Elena Esposito raconte le drame de la perte de son animal de compagnie et la quête qui en a suivi pour trouver un lieu où il puisse reposer.

Concept artists Kris Anka and Jesús Alonso Iglesias provided a look into the development of everyone's favorite new alien.

As I write this, four astronauts are on their way around the moon for the first time in 50 years. A lot us have asked ourselves just exactly why you’d send people out that far when the environment is so hostile and we have increasingly competent robots that could do the jobs in their place. If anything, that’s even more true now than it was back in the day of the Apollo program, when the remote operations capability was a lot more constrained. But having people, potentially in the near future, on the lunar surface remains qualitatively different.
I was recently re-watching some of the footage from Apollo 16 when the astronauts were driving around in the Lunar Roving Vehicle, and the discussions that...

Take me to the tacos, Gemini. You may be familiar with Gemini as the thing that's in every Google service you use - whether you want it or not. While it's been a constant, sometimes unwelcome presence in Gmail for at least the past year, it's a relatively new addition to Maps. And you know what? It's kind of great.
To put it to the test, I had Gemini plan a day-long itinerary for me around the city. After an hour or so of having Gemini find stuff for me - playgrounds near the new light rail extension, kid-friendly restaurants with vehicle themes, you get the gist - I was impressed. Some of the suggestions were obvious, but I also bookmarked a handful of spots not on m …

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It's small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate's pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg). As a reference point, it's nearly the same size as Marty McFly's 1985 Toyota SR5 from Back to the Future. But inside, that diminutive feeling disappears, as I found myself with ample amounts of head- and legroom. As a relatively tallish guy (over 6 feet) who often feels cramped in most vehicles, I couldn't believe the amount o …

A photo of a black speaker, the Amazon Echo, on a gray background. | Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Jeff Bezos badly wanted a voice computer. He had been saying so publicly since the very early days of Amazon, telling anyone who would listen about why voice might make it easier and more natural to interact with technology. (And to buy stuff from Jeff Bezos.) But when a team at Amazon set out to actually make the voice computer a reality, they encountered a seemingly endless series of hard problems. Eventually, though, they created two products, the Echo speaker and the Alexa voice assistant, that would help bring a new kind of computer to millions of people.

Electricity rates have gotten so atrocious that this Heatbit wants to offset your costs with bitcoin mining. But the math doesn't add up.

It’s a common ritual: whipping out those calipers or similar measuring devices to measure part of a physical object that we’re trying to transfer into a digital model in an application like FreeCAD. Wouldn’t it be nice if said measurements were to be transferred instantaneously into the model’s sketch, including appropriate units of measurement? That’s essentially what [stv0g] has done by merging a Sylvac Bluetooth-enabled caliper and FreeCAD using a plugin.
Key to the whole operation is a Bluetooth-enabled caliper like the Sylvac S_Cal EVO that [stv0g] managed to score on EBay for a mere €90 when it normally goes for multiple times that amount. This has BLE built in, using BLE’s standard GATT...

Window-cleaning robots haven’t quite arrived, but if you’ve got enough very large windows, it could be worth it.

The novelist and poet discusses how smartphones “charge the air around us,” what fiction can record that a transcript can’t, and why the book is also a handheld device.

Now that early PCs have moved firmly from the realm of e-waste into being collector’s items, it’s worth putting in some effort to restore them if you find one. [Epictronics] has an early IBM 5150, the ancestor of all today’s PCs, and is bringing it back to life. Along the way, he’s building a replica AdLib sound card, making a useful discovery about how to make new parts look authentic.
The video below the break is a gentle journey through an early PC teardown, followed by the construction of the replica sound card. Here’s the interesting nugget of information: these new cards are careful recreations of the originals, but they just don’t look right. It seems modern soldermask is too shiny, and as...

Dans les années nonante, au moment du lancement de la console Pippin, Bandai avait une newsletter pour les développeurs. C’est assez intéressant à lire, avec de petits détails pratiques sur le développement. Je continue avec la septième. Elle a été publiée en juillet 1996, après la sortie de la console. Elle est disponible sur archive.org. C’est parfois compliqué à afficher correctement, parce que l’encodage des caractères n’est pas celui utilisé en 2026. Avec Safari, il faut faire Présentation -> Encodage du texte -> Japonais (ISO 2022-JP). Même comme ça, il manque quelques caractères, donc je suppose que c’est un encodage plus ancien.
Un des premiers points annoncés, c’est que...

Ursula von der Leyen a entamé son premier mandat en tant que présidente de la Commission européenne avec un engagement précis : affronter la crise climatique avec des mesures durables et ambitieuses. Le Pacte vert pour l'Europe, une feuille de route ayant pour but d'atteindre la neutralité climatique en 2050, est né de cet engagement. Mais, cinq années plus tard, cet agenda a perdu son élan. La réélection de Von der Leyen ne s'est pas accompagnée d'une réaffirmation claire de cet engagement, du moins pas par des actions concrètes. L'agenda vert est passé au second plan. Ce changement soulève une question urgente : l'UE peut-elle se permettre de revoir à la baisse ses ambitions climatiques sans...

Quand je vois tout le taf que j'ai à la maison, je vous avoue que je rêve d'un robot qui vide le lave-vaisselle, arrose les plantes et ramasse le linge pendant que moi je glandouille sur le canapé (ou que je bosse parce que je glandouille jamais en fait...Argh...).

Many of us are guilty of toeing the line between having a ready supply of components at hand and simply hoarding for fear of throwing anything out. In a first admission of this problem, [Scott Lawson] decided to implement a couple of changes to assess his own position on this sliding scale.
The first change was to only put parts, components, and supplies in transparent boxes. Next was to add a sticker on each box noting the contents and box creation date. This was extended to plastic bags inside the boxes when further subdivision was warranted. Next, the question was about usage patterns, as you may think that you know how often you use something from a specific box, or how important its contents are, but it...

Recently, I've seen posts by a couple of people about adding human.json to their sites.
At it's core, human.json is a simple attestation that the content they publish is written by a human and not by AI.
Obviously, any AI generated site could also publish a human.json, so the system works as a web of trust - the user trusts Alice, who states that Bob is a human, allowing the user to also trust Bob.
There are a couple of browser addons (for Firefox and for Chrome) which can display an indicator of humanity.
This short post covers creating a script to easily add human.json generation to the build workflow of my sites. The Schema

Un quart de siècle après son apparition, Windows Active Directory (AD) définit toujours les réseaux sur site. Mais il faut l’admettre : AD est un système d’identité vieillissant.

Je parlais de l’Easter Egg du gestionnaire d’extensions récemment, mais la première version avait aussi le sien. Extensions Manager, avant d’être intégré dans System 7.5, était un logiciel séparé. Et dans la version 2.0, l’activation des bulles d’aide (Aide -> Afficher les bulles d’aide) montrait un petit texte amusant. L’article Un autre petit Easter Egg d’Extension Manager est apparu en premier sur Le journal du lapin.
