“Cheep a été justement présenté partout comme un contributeur historique de l’encyclopédie, actif depuis 15 ans, et qui a profité de cette aura pour se sortir de certaines situations houleuses — notamment lorsqu’il avait tenté de publier sur Wikipédia que « la responsabilité dans la Shoah en France [de Philippe Pétain et Pierre Laval] est sujette à débat.» À l’heure où nous écrivons ces lignes, le 18 février à midi, Samuel Lafont dénonce une « censure » de Wikipédia en générant de nombreux tweets sur le sujet. Il y a deux semaines, le Monde décortiquait ces opérations d’exposition sur Twitter, menées et assumées par le responsable de la stratégie numérique d’Éric Zemmour, qui permettent à certains hashtags de devenir artificiellement populaires sur le réseau social.”

“We’ve become aware that individuals can receive unwanted tracking alerts for benign reasons, such as when borrowing someone’s keys with an AirTag attached, or when traveling in a car with a family member’s AirPods left inside. We also have seen reports of bad actors attempting to misuse AirTag for malicious or criminal purposes. Apple has been working closely with various safety groups and law enforcement agencies. Through our own evaluations and these discussions, we have identified even more ways we can update AirTag safety warnings and help guard against further unwanted tracking.”
“There have been several AI breakthroughs to-date, including AI agents that have mastered arcade games, complex strategy games such as chess, shogi and Go as well as other real-time, multiplayer strategy games. GT Sophy takes game AI to the next level, tackling the challenge of a hyper-realistic simulator by mastering real-time control of vehicles with complex dynamics, all while operating within inches of opponents.”

“Google Analytics permet de disposer de statistiques de fréquentation d’un site web. Saisie de plaintes par l’association NOYB, la CNIL, en coopération avec ses homologues européens, a analysé les conditions dans lesquelles les données collectées grâce à cet outil sont transférées vers les États-Unis. La CNIL estime que ces transferts sont illégaux et impose à un gestionnaire du site web français de se conformer au RGPD et, si nécessaire, de ne plus utiliser cet outil dans les conditions actuelles.”
“SoftBank’s $66bn sale of UK-based chip business Arm to Nvidia collapsed late on Monday after regulators in the US, UK and EU raised serious concerns about its effects on competition in the global semiconductor industry. ”

“The EU has an ambitious goal of producing 20% of the world’s chips by 2030 — a move that requires the bloc quadruple its semiconductor production in just eight years. Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton has said the EU’s plans will be “commensurate” with the $52 billion recently announced by the U.S. to fund its own chip supply chain. ”

“The DWeb also comes with some significant legal and regulatory risks. It would make policing cybercrime, including online harassment, hate speech and child abuse images, even more difficult because of its lack of central control and access to data. A centralised web helps governments make large corporations enforce rules and laws. In a decentralised web, it wouldn’t even necessarily be clear which country’s laws applied to a particular website, if its content was hosted all around the world. This concern brings us back to debates from the 1990s, when legal scholars were arguing for and against the influence national laws could have on internet regulation. The DWeb essentially reflects the cyber-libertarian views and hopes of the past that the internet can empower ordinary people by breaking down existing power structures.
Decentralised systems also don’t necessarily abolish unequal power structures, but can instead replace one with an another. For instance, Bitcoin works by saving records of financial transactions on a network of computers and is designed to bypass traditional financial institutions and give people greater control over their money. But its critics argue that it has turned into an oligopoly, since a large percentage of Bitcoin wealth is owned by a very small number of people.”

“People are afraid to engage with uncertainty. They don’t know how to engage with uncertainty. And they worry about the politicization of uncertainty. But we’re hitting a tipping point. By not engaging with uncertainty, statistical imaginaries are increasingly disconnected from statistical practice, which is increasingly undermining statistical practice. And that threatens the ability to do statistical work in the first place. If we want data to matter, the science community must help push past the politicization of data and uncertainty to create a statistical imaginary that can engage the limitations of data.
The statistical imaginary of precise, perfect, and neutral data has been ruptured. There is no way to put the proverbial genie back in the bottle. Nothing good will come from attempting to find a new way to ignore uncertainty, noise, and error. The answer to responsible data use is not to repair an illusion. It’s to constructively envision and project a new statistical imaginary with eyes wide open. And this means that all who care about the future of data need to help ground our statistical imaginary in practice, in tools, and in knowledge. Responsible data science isn’t just about what you do, it’s about what you ensure all who work with data do.”
“Web2 refers to the version of the internet most of us know today. An internet dominated by companies that provide services in exchange for your personal data. Web3, in the context of Ethereum, refers to decentralized apps that run on the blockchain. These are apps that allow anyone to participate without monetising their personal data. Web3 benefits Many Web3 developers have chosen to build dapps because of Ethereum’s inherent decentralization: Anyone who is on the network has permission to use the service – or in other words, permission isn’t required. No one can block you or deny you access to the service. Payments are built in via the native token, ether (ETH). Ethereum is turing-complete, meaning you can pretty much program anything”

“Après un grave accident survenu samedi, à Paris, d’un taxi électrique Tesla Model 3 – une des voitures électriques les plus vendues en Europe – qui n’était pas en service, la compagnie de taxis parisiens G7 a mis à l’arrêt, mardi 14 septembre, les quelques voitures du même modèle de sa flotte, le temps de la conclusion de l’enquête. Cette décision a été prise par précaution, les raisons de l’accident n’étant pas encore connues.”
