In that case, would a link to the Wikipedia articles, detailling the context around the battles/wars, be a quick win to implement?

[sorry, I'm old school. I still Wikipedia is a damn good single source of truth]

No battery in it?

Even my JBL Go 2 is more useful than that, then.

I only hope that apps that were iOS16+ compatible will stay so. Updating my iPad because there is a new marketing trick from Apple is NOT something i would like.

Savonarole in Firenze was probably in that exact state of mind: that the world was not following at all its normal pace and something very wrong was happening. But the decisions he took were absolutely wrong and eventually he had to be stopped.

So depending on your current mindset, you can think that the tech bigs are the Médicis, and the frantic opponents are new-age Savonarole.

Or that the big techs ARE actually Savonarole who bend the system to their own perception of what the world should be.

Honestly I don’t know which analogy is the proper one.

In addition to those two bangers, BBC6 and RNE also have shows to discover new musics. PS: RadioParadise is also a safe place for good music.

Mostly I listen to web radios, not always in a language that I master (hello Japanese). And Shazam plus Spotify is still a killing combo, for me.

Cons: So long polar bears [and decent weather]

Pros: my next iPhone will travel faster from China to Europe.

Knowing the retention time of CO2 in the atmosphere makes you BOTH smarter AND more worried.

Just when Cyberpunk gets almost bug-free, the price for a decent Gpu to run it smoothly is skyrocketing. #doooh

I filled a patent in France. That was denied by the French office as being a conceptual method More than an invention. I accepted that decision. But there is a completely unexpected side effect, explained to me by a patent advisor. I probably now can oppose that nullified patent to any patent that would implement a version of that conceptual method. Not sure of the reality of that statement, but that’s a funny backfire.

My comment regarding Google victory was not related to the merits of its current tooling. But to me, it is the only company with already established cash cows. and its speed of adaptation shows that it is not left behind for very long by competitors in delivering state of the art LLM models.

Google will win the AI war. I really don t see how things can be different. The true question is how much the involvement of Sergei Brin will have been a major part of that win. [but now that I work in a big corp, I can understand how one smart guy saying “shut the f..k up, managers. I show the path” can be extremely disruptive in those kind of environments. For the better!]

JSON and CSV [and a massive amount of custom-made spaghetti code] gave the impression that semantics was totally unnecessary in dataflows. Now that we live in a world where dataflows build themselves, we will need a description language that is much more robust. Probably generated from chatbot interactions, but formally defining how the consumer can discover content and mix them.
