OK, people who lock themselves in the toilet to take a shower in the sink or to avoid ticket control are arguably worse.

Announcing the Zero Token architecture. Instead of burning AI tokens, you learn to think for yourself, and complete tasks using your brain.

Imaginons un circuit électrique alimenté par du courant continu.

À votre avis, combien de temps faut-il aux électrons pour aller de l'interrupteur à l'ampoule à l'autre bout de la pièce ?

10 nanosecondes
10 microsecondes
10 millisecondes
10 secondes

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

"¡ Esto con Franco no pasaba !" - Chez Tonton Grompf - Blog "¡ Esto con Franco no pasaba !" "Du temps de Franco, ça ne se passait pas comme ça !" En Espagne on entend ça parfois. Du genre, OK, Franco c'était peut-être un dictateur, mais au moins ça filait droi...

Pour dire qu'évoquer les horreurs du fascisme, ça suffit pas forcément comme repoussoir.

Je profite que j'aborde ce sujet pour faire un rappel: non, sous les dictatures "ça ne file pas droit". La délinquance prend peut-être d'autres formes. Mais l'abus de pouvoir n'apporte pas la sécurité.

Funny 4 panel comic by War and Peas about Ivan Pavlov. 1. Panel: A housekeeper rings a bell and calls out: "Mr. Pavlov, dinner is ready!" 2. Ivan Pavlov jumps out of a door and shouts: "That's great, Irma!" 3. He is sitting at a bare table and realizes: "Wait, Irma, there's no food." 4. Panel: Irma pulls her own head off her shoulders and you can see that it was just a mask. Underneath is a dog that screams angrily: "How the tables have turned, Mr. Pavlov!" Other aggressive dogs surround him. It's their revenge at last.

Just like every year, a friendly PSA:

“Feliz ano nuevo” means “happy new anus.”

“Feliz año nuevo” means “happy new year.”

Wishing folks either one is nice, but make sure you’re using the one you mean.

Des aliens qui disent "ils célèbrent quoi?" "Leur planète a réalisé un tour autour du Soleil". "J'avais dit qu'ils étaient très cons"

Bon, ben bonne année, et bon début de révolution !

After Decades of Speculation, Physicists Finally Confirm the Existence of "Time Mirrors" Scientists have reversed electromagnetic waves in time—not science fiction, but a real experiment that challenges what we know about physics.

Oh wow, un peu dur à comprendre sur le coup, mais très intéressant

Interpolate between two matrices, plot eigenvalue trajectories in the complex plane. Gershgorin's theorem guides matrix design so eigenvalues form a Christmas tree. Yellow stars are the eigenvalues of the two endpoint matrices.

Une reconstitution de la chèvre des cavernes des Baléares avec son regard quelque peu unheimlich

J'aime beaucoup la chèvre des cavernes des îles Baléares, un caprin qui a vécu dans les îles de Majorque et Minorque jusqu’à il y a 5 000 ans. Ses yeux n'etaient pas dirigés vers les côtés, comme ceux de presque tous les mammifères herbivores, mais vers l'avant d'où son aspect et son regard chelou

2025 in Review with Mike Stonebraker and Andy Pavlo Webcast Dec 10: DBMS researchers Mike Stonebraker (MIT / DBOS) and Andy Pavlo (CMU) discuss which data and CS trends are heating up or cooling down heading into 2026.

Do you like databases?
Do you want to hear two database professors rant about them?
Do you need one of those professors to have a Turing Award for databases?
If yes, then join Mike Stonebraker and I next Wed Dec 10 @ 1:00pm EST for database hot takes: www.dbos.dev/webcast-2025...
