J’ai hâte de l’écouter !

L’architecture logicielle en 2025, ou comment ne pas se prendre pour des dieux du code (même avec l’IA)

On a réuni Thomas Pierrain, @julientopcu.com et @cyriux.bsky.social pour parler d’architecture logicielle en 2025 ! L’épisode est à écouter ici : podcast.ausha.co/mixit/episod...

I agree with you that plenty of markdown files about the system, separated from the system, and that we need to review all the time won’t help go faster and safer (beyond costing tokens).

Absolutely. My book “Living Documentation” was really about “Continuous Context Engineering for humans” - how to minimize effort, while keep it reliable over time / at scale.
With AI it’s a similar game, except: written culture over verbal, and we now have much better tools to help!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

C’était un plaisir partager sur ces sujets avec la communauté Paris JUG !

@cyriux.bsky.social nous propose 2 talks sur le software craft :
Une introduction au craft où comment garder le rythme sur la durée youtu.be/FUT2HUSdGA8
Et le craft à l'ère de l'IA youtu.be/eePuXt7-2bs

Next month I’ll be at @newcrafts.bsky.social in Paris for my talk "digging deep into a domain by digging papers". See you there!

My main contribution in this thread was to post the wrong answer, which triggered a good answer by @jeffquesado.ulivre.dev as a result (aka Cunningham’s Law)

Oh yes (though we’re not really supposed to know that…).

But is it still funny if a dangerous joke is directly labeled as Unsafe?

Not possible as far as I know. But I appreciate the efforts.

I can confirm the experience of driving and charging a (rented) EV in Norway is excellent.

Correction: Mistral CEO is not supportive of the Zucman tax, but he’s in favor of more « justice fiscale »

How to campaign against the Zucman tax by enrolling all your available essayists:
- 6 essays directly confronting it
- 2 framing the debate as ill-informed,
- 2 essays on people not supporting it,
- 1 short form parodying Mr Zucman
- 1 essay on (better) alternatives to this tax.

Please don’t let this tax in!

Taxing riches is not effective and not legitimate!

Zucman tax is a lethal trap for French Tech!

More taxes will push riches to quit the country!

Today’s newsletter is a firework of titles against the Zucman tax, with no less than 12 essays against it.

Notably, no mention of Mistral CEO being in supportive of the Zucman tax.

"Zucman tax would make France poorer"

"France should spend less"

"Avoiding austerity is less believable now, at last"

"Zucman tax is just a symbol for populists and would be a bad thing"

French financial newspaper Les Echos clearly shows their opinion (and possibly fears) of their owner LVMH this week: 4 stories against taxing the richest and for more austerity.

Usually their editorial articles are more nuanced and balanced (even though it’s a liberal newspaper)

😱😱😱😱 I disapprove that.

Everyone will not just If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.

Black on black painting by Soulages

The outside of the Soulages Museum, with stairs in a green scenery

The basin next to the Café Bras, all in rust iron frames reminiscent of Mies von der Rohe international style.

Just visited (at last) the Soulages Museum in Rodez! Great to witness the evolution of the artist, in a beautiful building.
Extra bonus: the fantastic Café Bras on the premise 😋

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true

三 INSIDE STORY / 'SIMPLY BEING IN GAZA IS TREATED AS GROUNDS FOR SUSPICION' I'm afraid to go home: Canadian IDF soldiers fear fallout from war crimes probe Canada's probe into the Israel-Hamas conflict doesn't explicitly target Israelis, but its unclear scope has alarmed Jews amid rising international lawfare against soldiers BY ARIELA KARMEL | 20 JUL 2025. 10:22 PM

have you tried simply not doing war crimes

“The intention of modelling is to surface insights” — @ruthmalan.bsky.social

Indeed! Stochastic testing (at high frequency) FTW!

Running a random subset of tests for a small amount of time as a hook for an AI agent is super smart.

It's cool to see all the holes and imperfections being gradually addressed in the overall AI coding developer experience.

This week I've been playing around with Context7 mcp server which ensures your coding assistant has upto documentation.

Computer-vision research powers surveillance technology - Nature An analysis of research papers and citing patents indicates the extensive ties between computer-vision research and surveillance.

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance

Your web site is a good fit for an artist of this age (glitchcore at its best!)

Tu hats lovely! It could’ve been named the #NoChairCamp isn’t it?
