« Flicage managérial » : Microsoft rétropédale sur le score de productivité dans Microsoft 365

3 décembre 2020 / noflux

“Ce score de productivité est calculé sur 800 points, avec 100 points par catégorie. Ces rubriques incluent la communication, les réunions, la collaboration sur le contenu, le travail d’équipe ou encore la mobilité. Pour établir ce score, l’outil prend en compte des données issues de ses logiciels figurant dans la suite bureautique, mais aussi d’autres programmes, comme Skype, OneDrive ou bien Teams. Microsoft fournit dans sa documentation une page consacrée à ce score de productivité, qui détaille son mode de calcul, la liste des applications sur lesquelles il s’appuie, la façon dont il faut interpréter les résultats, les conditions de sa mise en œuvre et son périmètre. Ce score de productivité avait été annoncé en novembre 2019, mais sa généralisation n’a lieu que plus tardivement, à la fin octobre 2020.”

“This computational work represents a stunning advance on the protein-folding problem, a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology. It has occurred decades before many people in the field would have predicted. It will be exciting to see the many ways in which it will fundamentally change biological research”.

Professor Venki Ramakrishnan – Nobel Laureate and President of the Royal Society

“We trained this system on publicly available data consisting of ~170,000 protein structures from the protein data bank together with large databases containing protein sequences of unknown structure. It uses approximately 16 TPUv3s (which is 128 TPUv3 cores or roughly equivalent to ~100-200 GPUs) run over a few weeks, a relatively modest amount of compute in the context of most large state-of-the-art models used in machine learning today.”

“The UK launch in January will build on the success Facebook News has seen in the US, where we’ve found more than 95% of the traffic Facebook News delivers to publishers is new audiences that have not interacted with those news outlets in the past. Facebook is committed to supporting news organisations as they adapt to the changing digital world, and we are delighted to have so many partners working with us at this early stage. We’re in active negotiations to bring Facebook News to France and Germany as well, and we will continue to work with publishers in countries where market conditions and regulatory environments invite this kind of investment and innovation.”

“L’article 24 de la proposition de loi dite « sécurité globale » a été critiqué de toutes parts : journalistes, Défenseure des droits, ONU… Pourtant, le gouvernement maintient son importance. Sans être capable de fournir d’exemples spécifiques dans lesquels cet article serait utile, sans être néfaste pour les libertés individuelles. Pendant des heures à l’Assemblée nationale, les députées ont attendu une réponse claire à leur question. Qu’apporte l’article 24 de la proposition de loi dite « sécurité globale » à l’arsenal législatif qui existe déjà ? Malgré les nombreuses opportunités et prises de parole, aucun représentant du gouvernement ni le rapporteur de cette proposition de loi, Jean-Michel Fauvergue, n’ont su y répondre.”

Un édito contre le « merci » envoyé par courrier électronique

“Combien de tonnes équivalent carbone pourrait-on économiser ? 16 433 – soit 280 000 km en voiture, ou 40 000 aller-retour Londres-Madrid en avion… En renonçant juste un fois par jour, une seule fois, à envoyer ce fameux petit « merci », vous imaginez ?”

Vraiment ? Il est temps de prendre ce sujet au sérieux et d’arrêter de dire des…

Thierry Breton, the EU’s internal market commissioner at a hearing before the European Parliament, in Brussels, in November 2019

“In a virtual meeting on Thursday, Sundar Pichai told Mr Breton, the internal market commissioner, that Google was a very large company and that the document “was never shown to me”. He added that he had not “sanctioned” the plan, according to two people familiar with the conversation. The document set out Google’s response to landmark new legislation from the EU as the bloc reshapes how it regulates internet companies. It contained a two-month strategy to remove “unreasonable constraints” to Google’s business model and “reset the narrative”. It singled out Mr Breton, listing one objective to “increase pushback” on the French commissioner in an attempt to weaken support for the proposed plans in Brussels. ”

“The new report argues that YouTube hasn’t done enough. Researchers collected more than 1,600 videos from 191 parents that their children, all younger than 8, watched on YouTube’s main site this year. Among the findings: Ads were present on 95% of the videos in the study. A fifth of the ads were categorized as age inappropriate — a bourbon commercial on a nail painting video for girls; another ad, during a video game clip, that asked, “should the U.S. deport illegal immigrants?””

“it’s simply more fun to communicate with potentially millions of readers as opposed to a few thousand paying customers. And when Covid fades, there will be newsroom culture once more, with all its exhilirating intrigues and distractions. Nonetheless, the Substack model has a future. It is perfect for enterprising reporters—ambitious newcomers, disgruntled mid-termers, and post-buyout veterans—to pick an unfilled niche that serves the obsessions or business needs of small groups of people with some cash to spend.”

“The hearing highlighted the partisan divisions over Silicon Valley’s recent crackdown on misinformation that have been evident throughout the election campaign, with Republicans accusing the companies of going too far in labeling or otherwise limiting the spread of falsehoods and Democrats demanding they do more, especially as Trump and his allies continue to use Twitter and Facebook to spread claims of election fraud without evidence.”
