A survey about Discord using AI
If markup is complicated, then the opposite of that complexity must be markdown
For developers, Markdown has long been the lingua franca of the tools we string together to accomplish our work.
But the truth is, most people today who make technology are actually still exceedingly normal, and quite generous. t’s just that they’ve been overshadowed by their bosses who are out of their minds and building rocket ships and siring hundreds of children and embracing overt white supremacy instead of making fun tools for helping you type text
Even AI uses markdown formatting under the hood.
It’s important for everyone to know that the Internet, and the tech industry, don’t run without the generosity and genius of regular people
The majority of the technical infrastructure of the Internet was created in this way. For free, often by people in academia, or as part of their regular work, with no promise of some big payday or getting a ton of credit.
10 reasons markdown won:
- it had a great brand
- it solved a real problem: too painful to write HTML, and a legible plain text is better
- built on behaviors that already existed
- mirrored RSS in its origin
- there was a community ready to help
- it had the right flavor for every different context, for example the Commonmark and Github-Flavored.
- Released at a time of change in behaviors and habits: You can get people to change their behaviors when they’re using a new tool, or adopting a new technology.
- Came right on the cusp of the build tool era: there were new at that day.
- Worked with view source
- Not encumbered in IP
Human curation is needed because Google search is collapsing, the web has been consolitadef behind walls or polluted by AI slop though optimized for SEO
Writing on Medium can become an obsession for metrics. A playground or a sandbox is needed in public, think and learn in public. omg.lol is maybe too technical. Another popular blog platform is Bear Blog that I also follow. It's only text-based.
Good Enough makes small products:
- a blogging platform Pika.page that costs 6$ after 50 posts
- a simple contact form Letterbid
- a social light platform to make lists of albums and discover new musics Album Whale
- a markdown renderer Quack
- a connected printer Guestbook

Black and white cartoon-style illustration divided into four horizontal strips.
In the first strip, with the text “BOSS,” a person sitting in a cart is pulled by four people in front.
In the second strip, with the text “LEADER,” the cart is pulled by four people together, including one in front leading the movement.
In the third, with the text “INTROVERT,” only one person pulls the cart alone.
In the last, with the text “AUTISTIC,” the person does not pull the cart, but drives a steam locomotive, representing a completely different solution.

Friction exists to make us notice what we’re doing. [...] Bad friction is friction without purpose. It exists by accident, or through neglect. It asks more from the user without offering anything in return. [...] Good friction is different. It’s intentional. It’s added with a clear reason, and it earns its place in the experience — often through utility.
Good frictions:
- Holding ⌘Q to quit a browser session is a deliberate pause before closing everything
- A brief delay after sending an email, allowing you to undo before it’s final
- Intentional pagination instead of infinite scrolling is progress with awareness
- A warning when an email mentions an attachment but none is included is a small check before sending
ownCloud, Nextcloud… : les vols de données se multiplient, activez la double authentification - Next
Le rapport explique que « ces défaillances catastrophiques de sécurité n’étaient pas le résultat d’exploitation de faille zero-day dans l’architecture de la plateforme, mais plutôt des suites d’infections malveillantes sur les appareils des employés, combiné à manque cruel de mise en place de l’authentification multi-facteurs (MFA) ».
Il ne s'agit ni d'une faille, ni d'un piratage, mais un mot de passe faible.
Ainsi, [la CNIL] « renforcera dès 2026 sa politique de contrôle pour s’assurer de la mise en place de l’authentification multifacteur pour ces grandes bases de données. L’absence de cette mesure pourra justifier que soit initiée une procédure de sanction ».
Attendez, ce n'est pas encore le cas ?!
In 2023, the FTC ordered the company to pay $5.8 million over claims that employees and contractors had unrestricted access to customers’ videos for years.
Great
Why summarizing all emails if you can have them sorted efficiently? What's the advantage if you can already control which email you want to receive and which not?
Google argues that email has changed since 2004, as users are now bombarded with hundreds of emails every week, and volume keeps rising.
Who wants to be bombarded?
L’article parle de revue mais les deux points à retenir pour moi c’est que l’humain doit rester en maîtrise et toujours prouver que le résultat est le bon, sans juste faire confiance, et que le volume de code est un ennemi encore plus fort qu’avant parce que l’IA est forte à générer beaucoup de code.

There’s a reason this form of development became popular after all. But I do wonder if some of the trade-offs are being discounted. This form of decomposition has a price, in the form of readability and simplicity, and I somethings wonder if the benefit of reusability you’re paying that price for is oversold. When changes come through, I usually see people just rewrite the components.
Yes, after using Vue for 3 or 4 years, like every web frameworks, I try to use HTML and CSS as much as possible.
Le cœur du problème n’est pas une « erreur » isolée du modèle, mais une caractéristique systémique. ChatGPT n’a pas de compréhension du danger réel. Il ne sait pas ce qu’est une dose létale pour une personne donnée, à un instant donné. Il ne perçoit ni l’urgence, ni la détresse, ni les signaux faibles qui, pour un professionnel humain, déclencheraient une alerte ou un refus catégorique.
L'exemple est ici parlant
13 references one pointing to another. It's the maximum Rust ensure to support.
So why 14?
Seems like because Rust thinks that 13 references ought to be enough for anybody.
Pour commencer, il faut récupérer votre relevé de consommation horaire. Le site Enedis ne propose qu’une semaine de téléchargement, mais il est possible d’automatiser les téléchargements pour contourner le problème. Nous avons mis à jour notre script avec le passage en API v2 côté Enedis.

Qu'est-ce qui peut mal se passer à fournir des données de santé et avoir une IA.
Pour ChatGPT, c'est surtout le moyen de récolter des données d'entraînement.
Cette annonce arrive le lendemain de l'intervention de Marty Makary, le directeur de la FDA, au CES pour rassurer le milieu de la tech spécialisée en santé en affirmant qu'il assouplissait la régulation sur les appareils de santé numériques et qu'il n'allait surtout pas mettre le nez dans les affaires des entreprises de l'IA grand public
Comme par hasard.
Bah oui, vendre l'"IA" c'est vendre du vent.
On ne vend pas , mais une résolution d'un problème. Ce serait utile d'arrêter de vendre l'IA comme WOW trop bien c'est magique, mais plutôt comme "vous pouvez faire X ou Y". Il y a là une erreur de marketing immense.
Personne ne veut acheter un PC "blockchain", alors pourquoi un PC "IA"?
Ce sont l’autonomie améliorée et les performances générales offertes par les processeurs de Qualcomm qui séduisent, bien plus que les fonctions d’intelligence artificielle elles-mêmes.
Comme acutellement, 35 millions par an, 0, 50 ou 70. Il s'agit ici de gestion financière.
En revanche et ce serait plus intéressant:
- "One key problem that open source developers have been pointing out for years is public procurement. They often face major problems selling their products to public authorities because their processes are set up for readily available software packages. The paper calls on the EU to better align its procurement rules with open source. The personnel responsible for buying software should also be better educated on how open source software works – with the Commission setting a good example." -> Euractiv negotiates to use OVH btw
- Another idea is an EU legal form for open source organisations financed through donations. This legal form should be easy, the paper argues, and therefore accessible to developers.
