Le boom du vélo à Paris n'est pas seulement une bonne nouvelle pour les cyclistes. Moins de bouchons c'est aussi moins de bruit, moins de pollution, et un meilleur cadre de vie pour l'ensemble de Parisiens.

Signe que le vélo fait partie des palettes de solution pour de plus en plus de monde à Paris, le record horaire du compteur magnétique de vélos piste de Sébastopol a été battu lors du jour de grève du 18/09/2025 avec 2590. Le précédent record était de 2327 un précédent jour de grève.

Right now, I'm supervising a student lab, they are modelizing a database on paper, following an outdated method per the school curriculum.
They have no questions, so I'm also playing with AI agents and ClaudeCode
Striking contrast between the old world and a stale curriculum vs the new AI world

I'm so used to writing data #pipelines for ML, ETL, ..
that conceiving AI agents is a real challenge

I have to think very differently to avoid recreating Airflow with LLMs

Very exciting but hard to grasp

check out super polluters in your area
Al Gore’s nonprofit #Climate TRACE released a global tool tracking toxic air #pollution from more than 660M sources. #PM2.5
In Paris we have 13 emitting sources

You can track your carbon footprint when training #ML models or running any other type of #python code with #codecarbon

And this is not the first time
I was also asked to teach intro to #database using MERISE
The #french modelization method that also dates back from the 90s
That’s insane
Makes me sad for the students who have to sit exams on this crap

Alexis Perrier @alexisperrier.bsky.social · 10d

Just found out I’m supposed to teach a #python course on … tkinker
Some tcl/tk package that dates back from the 90s
Insanely obsolete
Curriculum in some #French engineering school is downright dangerous for students
They’d be better of not taking these course
I’m going to bail out on this one

If you ever entertain by accident the idea that the best technology wins, remember that a resource-oriented protocol is right now the most successful RPC transport, thanks to a spaghetti templating language and Frankenstein scripting one made in 2 weeks.

And we did alright.

EU–INC is the single best thing Europe could do to catch-up in the AI race

A simple unified pan-European startup structure, with modern employee ownership and simple access to capital, able to tap into Europe’s full talent pool.

‼️ but it’s at high risk of not seeing the light of day. You can help👇

These days I’m biking to work
Average 20k per day
My average speed is between 16 to 18kph
Which I think is faster than both the metro and cars
And I get a free work out
And I’m just so happy when I’m biking
I feel like a kid

Just read that :

« The Rundown: Google DeepMind just released Frontier Safety Framework 3.0, expanding its AI risk monitoring efforts to cover emergent AI behaviors like shutdown resistance »

Shutdown resistance ?

Meaning the AI may simply refuse to shutdown when ordered ?

wow 😵‍💫
