Du 18 au 20 septembre, les Russes élisent les 450 membres de la Douma, chambre basse du Parlement, lors des premières législatives organisées depuis le début de l’invasion russe en Ukraine. Dans un système politique très encadré, le scrutin doit aussi donner des indications sur l’état de l’opinion après presque cinq ans de guerre.

En reportage dans divers quartiers de la capitale malienne, le site “Cenozo” observe une iniquité saisissante en matière de distribution d’eau potable, alors que seuls 15 % des ménages disposent d’eau courante à domicile.

Le premier ministre vise un déficit public de 5 % en 2027, avec « un effort très important : 54 milliards d’efforts sur les dépenses », constate le ministre, un objectif « ambitieux, mais évidemment réalisable ».

If you want to do certain types of lab work with blood, you’ll need a centrifuge. It’s often possible to find serviceable units on the used market, but they may not meet your requirements if you’re doing something quite specific. For that reason, [Thomas Nguyen] decided to build his own centrifuge from scratch.
His goal was to separate T cells from blood for further lab analysis, and he needed to be able to work with blood in 15 mL conical tubes. Capable centrifuges weren’t affordable, but he figured he could build his own quite easily. To that end, he enlisted a Raspberry Pi Pico, a 3D printer, and an A2212 brushless motor with a 30 amp electronic speed controller.
Soon enough, he had a design for a...

Deux mois après les incendies en Gironde, la candidate du Rassemblement national a voulu mettre en avant son écoute des victimes. Une visite de campagne diversement appréciée des Porgeais.

Devant la cour d’assises de Paris, jeudi, la psychiatre Isabelle Teillet a estimé que l’ancien commando de marine ne souffrait pas, au moment des faits, d’un trouble de stress post-traumatique susceptible d’avoir altéré son discernement. Il présente, par ailleurs, toujours « une dangerosité criminologique importante ».

Surveillance cameras from Flock Safety have become a controversial privacy battleground, as the communities in which they are installed wake up to their sinister potential, and stories roll in of law enforcement professionals abusing their access. One has had its disk contents dumped, and we’ve been treated to some insights courtesy of [Micah Lee]. In short: their approach to security is deeply flawed.
It’s interesting to find that instead of a custom hardened OS, these devices run Android. Not just Android, but Android 8.1, a long out of support version originally released in 2017. This is is the year Flock Safety was founded, which may or may not be coincidental. Like any old version of a widely used...

Waymo Ojai fully autonomous ride-hailing vehicle travels along a city street, San Francisco, California, August 20, 2026.

Waymo's vehicles will begin arriving in Singapore in "the coming months," the company says, in preparation of mapping and autonomous testing with human safety drivers behind the wheel in 2027. Waymo says it is "working toward offering fully autonomous ride-hailing to the public" by 2028. Waymo will need approval from Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) before it can begin...

The Cheap Yellow Display is an all-in-one ESP32 board with a touchscreen, that’s as the name suggests, cheap. It’s appeared in a great many projects since it emerged from the depths of AliExpress, and today thanks to [Nickm324] it takes the turn of becoming a mini TV.
The tiny TV project world is one of successive developers building on previous works to deliver their own refinements on the idea, so this one borrows heavily from an earlier ESP32 project. Its twist on the idea is a single button interface using the CYD’s BOOT button. It supports a range of “channels” of which each one is a different piece of media played from the SD card. As far as we can see it’s only able to play synchronised...

FKJ featuring Eryn Allen Kane “I Want U”
Years ago my friend Sean T. Collins wrote a daily blog about the movie Road House because he realized he could find something interesting to say about Road House every day. (He did, and it’s now it’s a terrific book.) I feel like “I Want U” is so full of wonderful little details that I could potentially do the same for at least a month. Like, I’m not going to! But that’s mostly because I don’t have the music theory and production background to get it right. Most of what I love about the song comes down to appreciating all the interesting musical choices FKJ and Eryn Allen Kane make throughout the track, and the way everything in the composition and...

The US has not acknowledged carrying out February's deadly strikes on a primary school in Minab and a sports complex in Lamerd.

With an El Niño event in full swing those of us in the northern hemisphere have just had a roasting hot summer, and those in the southern are about to have one. We know what that means, even with the best laid plans the slightest bit of exercise is going to raise a lot of sweat. And if you’re carrying a backpack that means a soaking down your back. Never fear though, because for that one, [Crafterboi] is here with a fan-assisted back protector.
The idea is simple enough, an open framework that sits between you and the backpack, allowing air to flow. If that weren’t enough, there are a couple of 5 volt fans at the top to blow air through the space. It’s printed using PETG, because as he explains, on a...

Remember when tech leaders would tell their employees to “move fast and break things”? It seemed that would be the way of AI too. But after a summer where rogue AI agents became reality, and researchers warned that AI could kill us all, a number of leading US AI companies are publicly suggesting it’s time to pump the brakes and “pace the frontier” of bleeding-edge AI development. Their motivations are suspect, but leaders at major AI companies — including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and X — are at least paying lip service to the idea of a superintelligence slowdown. Will these AI companies actually slow down? Will anyone step in to regulate these companies like they claim to have wanted...

“The United States now has enough operating solar capacity to power more than 50 million American homes, representing over one-third of all households nationwide. According to the latest U.S. Solar Market Insight report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, the solar industry added 11.4 GWdc of new electricity generating capacity in Q2 2026, a 45% year-over-year increase and a 43% increase from Q1.” From Solar Energy Industries Association.

The revamped projects feature in Claude Code allows users to run multiple agents under the same roof, with a shared memory, goals, and library of files and artifacts. Similar to Grok Bot and other tools that manage groups of AI agents, each project has "threads" running different tasks in parallel, with a "coordinator" directing everything: Under the hood, each thread is a Claude Code cloud session working on its own branch and copy of the repo. The coordinator keeps work organized, but if any threads work on the same code, the overlap is resolved as a merge conflict just like any other PR. Each thread can further split its delegated work …

With the Earth’s atmosphere being effectively just a less dense fluid than the oceans around us, it’s reasonable to ask why we got wind turbines and wind mills quite literally everywhere across the globe to harvest the power in the wind, whereas ocean waves and currents aren’t being exploited quite as much. In a recent video by [Giordano Scarciotti] this issue with wave power is addressed, in particular the massive engineering challenges involved.

One of the main problems is simply one of cost, with wind energy having converged on a single design involving effectively the same three-bladed rotor, gondola and tower design that...

“Human communication relies on more than just talking; we nod, shrug, move our hands and point with our fingers. For people with severe paralysis, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) can convey intended speech or movement. Now, researchers have shown that a single brain implant can do both at once. The device, described today in Nature Neuroscience, is the first to translate both verbal and non-verbal modes of communication, simultaneously and within seconds of the user’s intent. It uses artificial intelligence to convert electrical brain activity into text that appears on screen and to prompt a personalized animated avatar to move.” From Nature.

The recognition highlights more than 50 years of progress without a human case of rabies and confirms the country's capacity to prevent transmission from re-emerging… Chile's last reported case of human rabies transmitted by dogs occurred in 1972. The achievement followed sustained national efforts to combat the disease through the timely provision of the vaccine to individuals potentially exposed to the rabies virus, typically through bites, scratches, or contact with saliva from infected or suspected rabid dogs.” From World...

When Xbox announced a new feature last month that lets you digitize existing physical game collections, I immediately thought of the Xbox One. Disc-to-digital seems like a clever new feature for Xbox, perfectly timed as a response to Sony killing PlayStation discs. But the reality is that it has been 15 years in the making and is now a big part of Xbox's ongoing game preservation efforts.
Ahead of the launch of the Xbox One in 2013, Microsoft made a key decision to uniquely identify discs. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell me the company was exploring the idea of true Xbox digital ownership in 2011, including digital gifting, rec …

Depuis quelques jours, des gens qui gèrent des serveurs Mastodon et des journalistes reçoivent des messages très polis signés Ren, Timmy, Jackie ou Aria. Ces expéditeurs ne sont pas des humains. Ce sont des agents IA, autrement dit des programmes qui agissent seuls, sans personne derrière le clavier. Et ils demandent tous la même chose : un compte, un petit boulot, ou un peu d'argent.

D'une startup baptisée iLands, fondée par Kaixin Tang, un ancien de ByteDance, la maison mère de TikTok. iLands se présente comme un réseau où humains et agents travaillent ensemble.

Le 18è sommet annuel des BRICS s’est achevé dimanche 13 septembre à New Delhi avec pour principal résultat tangible la volonté affichée par le président chinois Xi Jinping et le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi de trouver un terrain d’entente pour mettre fin à une ère de relations glaciales entre les deux géants asiatiques, sur fond de tensions géopolitiques inédites.

Le président américain accueille Xi Jinping à Washington, le 24 septembre, pour sa première visite d’Etat depuis dix ans. Dans l’affrontement entre les deux puissances, le chef d’Etat chinois bénéficie du manque de fiabilité de l’Amérique de Donald Trump, note, dans sa chronique, Alain Frachon, chroniqueur au « Monde ».
