Il y a des annonces télécoms que je trouve toujours un peu fascinantes, parce qu’elles reposent sur un concept très simple : prendre un truc globalement déjà existant, lui coller un nouveau nom, et faire comme si on venait de réinventer le marché. Le nouveau forfait Free Max entre assez bien dans cette catégorie. Sur le papier, évidemment, ça a l’air séduisant. Max, illimité, plus simple, plus complet, ce genre de vocabulaire marche toujours très bien. Et comme souvent dans les télécoms, l’objectif n’est pas tellement de proposer quelque chose de radicalement nouveau, mais plutôt de reformuler une offre pour qu’elle paraisse plus évidente, plus premium, et surtout plus facile à...

60 Mo de source maps (ces fichiers qui permettent de remonter du code minifié à l'original) ont été oubliés dans un paquet npm. Et voilà comment Anthropic a involontairement balancé en public le code source complet de Claude Code, son outil à 2.5 milliards de dollars de revenus annuels.
Alors qu'est-ce qui s'est passé exactement ?
Hé bien hier, la version 2.1.88 du package @anthropic-ai/claude-code sur le registre npm embarquait un fichier .map de 59.8 Mo. Un truc normalement réservé au debug interne, sauf que ce fichier .map contenait les pointeurs vers les 1 900 fichiers TypeScript originaux, en clair. Chaofan Shou, un développeur chez Solayer Labs, a alors repéré la boulette et l'a partagée...

La bibliothèque JavaScript Axios, téléchargée plus de 100 millions de fois par semaine, a été compromise. Un attaquant a détourné le compte du mainteneur principal pour y glisser un malware multiplateforme qui vise aussi bien macOS que Windows et Linux.
Un compte piraté, deux versions vérolées
Tout est parti du compte npm de jasonsaayman, le mainteneur principal d'Axios. L'attaquant a réussi à prendre le contrôle du compte, a changé l'adresse mail vers un ProtonMail anonyme, et a publié deux versions malveillantes : axios 1.14.1 et axios 0.30.4.
Les deux ont été mises en ligne en l'espace de 39 minutes, et pas via le processus habituel. Au lieu de passer par GitHub Actions, le pipeline...

Dans la longue liste de mes souris ADB, j’en ai une nouvelle qui est particulièrement réussie : la souris sushi. C’est un modèle ADB qui reprend l’esthétique d’un sushi edomae, à base de thon. Elle provient évidemment du Japon, avec son tapis de souris en bois. Ma souris sushi Le bouton de la souris
La lettre fournie avec la souris, qui était a priori un lot dans un concours, explique qu’elle a été conçue par la détermination sans failles des chercheurs et qu’elle s’inspire d’un sushi edomae au thon gras de première qualité. Par contre, la lettre précise bien qu’il ne faut pas manger la souris. Elle doit être conservée à température ambiante : une source de chaleur trop...

Vous vous souvenez de cette proposition de loi pour interdire les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans ? Le Sénat l'a adoptée en première lecture il y a quelques jours, avec un système à deux niveaux. D'abord une liste noire de plateformes jugées nocives d'un côté, et de l'autre, un accès conditionnel avec accord parental.
Sauf qu'un amendement déposé la semaine dernière par le sénateur Bernard Lotte (LR) propose d'étendre cette logique aux... plus de 50 ans. Ouais, vous avez bien lu ! L'amendement n°104-AP, intitulé "Protection des publics vulnérables face aux manipulations numériques", s'appuie sur les conclusions du comité d'évaluation et leur constat est sans appel : les seniors...

Je vais être honnête : quand on me propose un produit « pensé pour les vieux Mac », en général je pars avec un a priori assez négatif. Dans le meilleur des cas, c’est un adaptateur SATA rebadgé avec un joli packaging. Dans le pire, c’est un truc vaguement compatible, vendu comme universel, qui finit par planter sur la première machine un peu capricieuse. Cette fois, j’ai quand même accepté de regarder le RetroFlash IDE, un SSD au format 2,5 pouces présenté comme spécialement pensé pour les machines anciennes. L’idée est simple : proposer un stockage silencieux, peu gourmand, et surtout à peu près compatible avec les vieilles machines Apple qui n’aiment ni les gros disques, ni les...

Le 1er avril 1976, Apple naissait officiellement. Et oui, ça fait déjà 50 ans. Dit comme ça, c’est à la fois complètement absurde et parfaitement logique : Apple fait partie de ces boîtes qui donnent l’impression d’avoir toujours été là, tout en ayant passé leur temps à changer de visage. Forcément, de mon côté, c’est une entreprise qui occupe une place un peu particulière. Pas juste parce qu’elle vend des iPhone ou des Mac qu’on voit partout aujourd’hui, mais surtout parce qu’en remontant le fil, on tombe sur une quantité assez incroyable de machines, de standards bancals, de prototypes improbables, de connecteurs oubliés et de choix techniques parfois géniaux, parfois...

As a clear sign of how desperate these RAMpocalypse times are becoming, we have [PortalRunner] over on YouTube contemplating how to run modern-day software on a PC that has no sticks of that most precious PC-related commodity that is not printer ink. What fallbacks do we have when purchasing some sticks of DDR5 is inconceivable due to budgetary limitations or chronic sticker shock symptoms? As it turns out, quite a few.
Of course, it should be noted up front that none of these options are particularly good or desirable. The video starts with simply trying to push Linux to see how little RAM it really needs using boot arguments. This unfortunately soft-bricks the system if not enough RAM is allocated for boot....

Space may truly be the final frontier, but maybe that frontier can be closer than you thought. Pictures of nebulae and planets bring the colorful sights of deep space right to your screen. You may even have models of some of the rockets used for those missions on a shelf. However, did you know that you could even have a model of those nebulae or planetary surfaces from [NASA]?
While we have covered some distributed models from [NASA] here before, the catalog has expanded far past what 2016 had in store. Additionally, the catalog has been sorted into a more user-friendly, filterable interface than a simple GitHub repository. Most models even have a description attached, giving some basic background information...

Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which runs through 11:59PM PT tonight, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold folks over until Prime Day surfaces at the onset of summer. The bulk of the deals we’ve seen over the past week aren’t quite on par with Black Friday or Prime Day, and, as with most shopping events, not everything on sale is worth picking up. That said, Amazon’s latest sale still represents one of the first big opportunities we’ve seen this year to save — and bypass some...

Lee “Scratch” Perry & Mouse On Mars “Rockcurry”
Who would’ve guessed that a “Hallagallo” groove would go so well with the stoned mutterings of dub reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry? Not me, but I’m not surprised, since I love pretty much anything with that distinct motorik groove. Mouse On Mars and the late Perry are an unexpected pairing but make sense when you consider how much of either’s body of work comes down to tweaking recordings until they become a bit surreal. Mouse On Mars also gravitate to odd vocal tones and cadences – they made an entire record with The Fall’s Mark E Smith back in the 2000s, and a lot of their best tracks include cartoonishly distorted vocals....

If you’re looking for the best time to get a deal this spring, it might very well be during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which runs through 11:59PM PT tonight. We’re still highlighting the best that the sale has to offer, including the many so-called “doorbuster” deals that will appear throughout the remainder of the seasonal shopping event. Despite the fact that the sale will end in a few short hours, you can find deals on all sorts of consumer tech, from personal audio and home theater upgrades to steep discounts on video games, mobile accessories, and various doo-dads for tinkerers. Given that the sale coincides with the arrival of spring, you can also find deals on plenty of outdoor-friendly gear,...

However, if you’re okay with a pair of earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3 offer access to all the same features for less — especially given they’re on sale at Amazon and Walmart for $199 ($50 off) as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, matching their second-best price to date.

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe once it cooled and expanded, but the very beginning, when temperatures and energies were extreme, has remained harder to pin down. A new study from researchers at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute argues that the universe’s earliest growth spurt may not need the extra theoretical add-ons that many cosmologists have relied on for decades. Instead, the team says that rapid early expansion, known as inflation, could emerge from a more complete version of gravity itself. That matters because...

Some projects take great care to tuck away wire hookups, but not [Roberto Alsina]’s Reloj V2 clock. This desktop clock makes a point of exposing all components and wiring as part of its aesthetic. There are no hidden elements, everything that makes it work is open to view. Well, almost.
The exception is the four MAX7219 LED matrices whose faces are hidden behind a featureless red panel, and for good reason. As soon as the clock powers up, the LEDs shine through the thin red plastic in a clean glow that complements the rest of the clock nicely.
[Roberto]’s first version was a unit that worked similarly, but sealed everything away in a wedge-shaped enclosure that was just a little too sterile, featureless,...

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale may not have been as “big” as Black Friday or even Prime Day, but depending on what you’re after, the discounts are more appealing than you might think. Take charging accessories, for instance. Anker, Twelve South, Baseus, and others have sharply lowered the prices of some of our favorite add-ons, including handsome 3-in-1 charging stands, 25,000mAh battery packs, and inexpensive Qi2 pucks. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of the discounts are set to expire at 11:59PM PT this evening when Amazon’s spring promo officially draws to a close. However, unlike some of the recent deals we saw on Apple devices and Sonos gear, many of the deals we’re seeing on charging devices are...

A moving cell looks simple from a distance. One edge pushes forward, the rest follows, and the whole thing creeps along as if its contents somehow know where to go. That neat picture leaves out a crucial detail, according to a new study from Oregon Health & Science University. Inside the cell, proteins are not just drifting randomly until they reach the right spot. Instead, the researchers found what they describe as internal “trade winds.” These are streams of fluid that push key proteins toward the cell’s leading edge. This part drives movement, repair and attachment. The work, published in Nature Communications, challenges a long-standing assumption in biology. For years, textbook diagrams have...

With ever increasing sizes of various programs (video games being notorious for this), the question of size optimization comes up more and more often. [Nathan Otterness] shows us how it’s done by minifying a Linux “Hello, World!” program to the extreme.
A naive attempt at a minimal hello world in C might land you somewhere about 12-15Kb, but [Nathan] can do much better. He starts by writing everything in assembly, using Linux system calls. This initial version without optimization is 383 bytes. The first major thing to go is the section headers; they are not needed to actually run the program. Now he’s down to 173 bytes. And this is without any shenanigans!

“Amidst growing global challenges, perceptions of human cooperation—a cornerstone of societal progress—appear to be in decline. Despite empirical evidence showing that people in both the USA and China exhibit increased cooperation in experimental games, the public remains convinced that morality and trust—two key ingredients of cooperation—have declined over time. To investigate this paradox, this study examines trends in cooperation that people perceive from the past into the future, along with the reasons they perceive to underlie these trends. We conducted a cross-cultural survey of 628 Americans and 449 Chinese, asking them to estimate the likelihood of others’ cooperative behavior in a...

The problem with asking an AI for a diagnosis is not that it might be wrong. It is that it might be wrong and sound completely certain. That distinction matters considerably in medicine, where studies have shown that experienced ICU physicians will defer to AI recommendations even when their own clinical instincts push back, and where radiologists have been documented following incorrect AI suggestions despite contradictory visual evidence right in front of them. Confidence, it turns out, is persuasive regardless of whether it is warranted. A team of researchers led by MIT now argues that the solution is not smarter AI, at least not primarily. It is humbler AI. Their framework, published in BMJ Health and Care...
