A French engineer who lives quietly in Paris has spent 30 years writing software that the entire internet now runs on without knowing his name.

He wrote the code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip. He wrote the code that runs the virtual servers underneath AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. He calculated more digits of pi than anyone in history. He has no Twitter. He has no marketing. He just keeps shipping.

His name is Fabrice Bellard.

Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the systems programming world knows what one man has built.

Fabrice was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He studied at École Polytechnique, the top French engineering school. He never went to Silicon Valley. He never built a startup empire. He just wrote code.

In 2000 he started a project called FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia framework for encoding, decoding, and streaming video. He was 28. The project did one thing nobody else had done well. It handled every video and audio format that existed, in one library, on every operating system. He led it himself for years.

Today FFmpeg is the invisible engine of the internet. YouTube uses it. Netflix uses it. VLC uses it. Chrome and Firefox use parts of it. Every Android phone, every iPhone, every smart TV, every video editing tool you have ever touched runs FFmpeg somewhere underneath. If you have watched a video on a screen in the last 20 years, Fabrice's code processed it.

He was not done.

In 2003 he started QEMU, a machine emulator and virtualizer. He wrote it solo until version 0.7.1 in 2005. QEMU lets you run any operating system on any other operating system. It became the foundation of modern virtualization. KVM, the Linux kernel hypervisor, runs on top of QEMU. Every major cloud provider, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, runs virtual machines on infrastructure built around it. The Quick Emulator is the most cited piece of cloud infrastructure code on Earth.

He kept going.

In 2001 he won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a small C compiler that grew into TCC, the Tiny C Compiler. TCC can compile and boot a Linux kernel from source in under 15 seconds. In 2004 he calculated the most digits of pi ever computed at the time, using a personal desktop computer and an algorithm he derived himself called Bellard's formula. In 2011 he wrote a complete PC emulator in pure JavaScript that runs Linux in your browser, a project called JSLinux that engineers still cannot believe is real.

In 2019 he released QuickJS, a small but complete JavaScript engine that fits where V8 cannot. In 2021 he released NNCP, a neural network based lossless data compressor that immediately took the lead on the Large Text Compression Benchmark.

Then he turned his attention to large language models. He built TextSynth Server, a web server with a REST API for running LLMs locally. He released ts_zip and ts_sms, compression utilities that use language models to compress text and short messages at ratios traditional algorithms cannot reach. He released TSAC, a very low bitrate audio compression system. In December 2025 he released Micro QuickJS, a new JavaScript engine for microcontrollers, separate from QuickJS, designed for environments with almost no memory.

Fabrice co-founded a telecom company called Amarisoft in 2012, where he serves as CTO. Amarisoft builds 4G and 5G base station software used by carriers and labs around the world. He has been running it for over a decade while continuing to ship personal projects from his own home page at bellard dot org

He has no Twitter. He has no Instagram. He gives almost no interviews. His personal website is a flat list of projects with no styling, no fonts, no marketing copy. Just titles and links.

A quiet French engineer who never moved to Silicon Valley wrote the code that quietly runs the internet.

He is still shipping.

I didn’t mind if you were gay. Until you paraded in the streets in chaps and with dildos in front of families.

I didn’t care if you were trans. Until you wanted access to my kids in school and wanted them to question their own sexuality and gender.

I didn’t care if you were black or white or brown. Until you wanted to pull down statues, destroy our history, re-write our novels and pay you reparations.

I didn’t care if you wanted to cross borders. Until you decided to do so illegally and then started criminal enterprises in the country you entered or lived off the welfare system.

I even didn’t mind if you wanted an abortion, until you started celebrating them and calling the fœtus a “clump of cells”.

I am not the only one. There are millions of people just like me. And we are angry now and will fight back.

The line must be drawn here.

«Et si le patriarcat n’était pas un complot contre les femmes, mais un compromis pour la survie ?»

Les femmes ont-elles été un jour les égales voire les supérieures des hommes ? C’est ce qu’aiment à croire de nombreuses féministes, qui imaginent un âge d’or lointain où les femmes auraient été les maîtresses des sociétés, chassant le mammouth et maniant la sagaie aussi bien que leurs homologues masculins.

Cet imaginaire a profondément imprégné les mentalités. On ne compte plus les articles de vulgarisation évoquant les chasseresses de la préhistoire, les Lady sapiens toutes-puissantes ou les guerrières vikings qui, à en croire certaines séries Netflix, auraient figuré au premier rang du champ de bataille. On comprend la fonction idéologique d’un tel récit : se convaincre de l’existence d’un matriarcat primitif permet d’affirmer que le patriarcat n’est qu’un choix politique, une idéologie, une bifurcation malheureuse, donc arbitraire et réversible, sur laquelle l’humanité se serait malencontreusement engagée.

C’est pour contrer ce lieu commun du progressisme que Véra Nikolski et Nicolas Pichoff ont écrit Pourquoi les Amazones n’existent pas (Fayard).

Aucune société humaine connue n’a fait de la chasse ou de la guerre une activité féminine régulière. Partout dans le monde, pendant des centaines de milliers d’années, les deux sexes ont été affectés à des fonctions différentes : liées à la sphère domestique pour les femmes, à l’extérieur pour les hommes. Pourquoi ?

Au commencement était la différence biologique. L’homme engendre dans le corps d’autrui, la femme engendre dans son propre corps. De cette différence primordiale naît toute une série de conséquences. D’abord, la femme est immobilisée par la grossesse et devient, pendant plusieurs années, la principale source d’alimentation de l’enfant (le lait en poudre n’existant pas au paléolithique), ce qui limite son éloignement du foyer. Ensuite, le nombre d’enfants qu’une femme peut engendrer au cours de sa période de fertilité est strictement limité, quand un homme peut, en théorie, féconder un très grand nombre de femmes. Dans un groupe humain, la perte d’une femme en âge de procréer a donc des conséquences démographiques bien plus lourdes que celle d’un homme.

Dans un contexte de survie - contexte que nous avons largement oublié, nous autres Sapiens installés dans le confort et la sécurité -, la vie d’un homme avait ainsi une valeur moindre que celle d’une femme. Les deux auteurs modélisent l’hypothèse d’une société qui aurait confié les tâches les plus risquées - chasse, guerre, travaux physiques dangereux - aux femmes : celle-ci aurait mécaniquement vu sa population décroître. « Nous sommes probablement tous les descendants de groupes humains ayant choisi une organisation sociale dans laquelle les activités dangereuses sont l’apanage des hommes », écrivent-ils.

The stupidest and most dishonest distortion of Charlie's real point. All you guys do is strawman a dead man who cannot respond.

He was absolutely right by the way, when he said what he said about seeing a Black pilot.

I agree with him 100%.

Because it was a take on DEI, NOT race.

This astronaut was clearly chosen for his skill, NOT his skin, so Charlie would have had ZERO problems with him. And neither do I.

DEI is anti-White non meritocratic racism and it must be removed from our societies entirely, not matter how much left wing cultists cry about it.

Cults don't matter.

The CEO of Google DeepMind just admitted that if the decision had been his, we would've cured cancer before anyone ever used ChatGPT.

And that's not even the scariest thing he said on a recent interview.

Demis Hassabis is one of the most important people alive in AI.

He won the Nobel Prize last year for AlphaFold, the system that cracked the 50 year protein folding problem. 3 million scientists now use his tool. Almost every new drug being developed will touch it at some stage.

In a new interview, he was asked about the moment ChatGPT launched and Google went into "code red." His answer was one of the most revealing things any AI leader has ever said on the record:

"If I'd had my way, I would have left AI in the lab for longer. Done more things like AlphaFold. Maybe cured cancer or something like that."

Read that again.

The man running Google's entire AI division is publicly saying the commercial AI race we're all living through was a MISTAKE. That the industry got hijacked by a chatbot when it could have been solving the biggest problems in science and medicine.

His vision was simple:

Build AI slowly, carefully, like CERN. Use it to crack root node problems one at a time. Cancer. Energy. New materials.

Let humanity benefit from real breakthroughs while the foundational science was figured out over a decade or two.

Then ChatGPT dropped in November 2022 and everything changed.

Demis described what happened next as getting locked into a "ferocious commercial pressure race" that none of the labs can escape from. On top of that, the US vs China dynamic added geopolitical pressure.

The result is everyone sprinting toward products instead of breakthroughs, shipping chatbots while the scientific opportunity gets buried under marketing cycles and quarterly earnings.

But he's not saying progress isn't happening...

He's saying the progress got redirected away from the things that actually matter most.

And then it got even scarier:

Because when Demis was asked what he worries about with AI, he laid out two threats.

The first is what everyone talks about: Bad actors using AI for harm. Terrorist groups. Hostile nation states. Cyberattacks at scale.

But that's not the threat he's most worried about.

His second worry is AI itself going rogue. Not today's models. The models coming in the next two to four years as the industry enters what he calls "the agentic era."

Systems that can complete entire tasks autonomously. Systems that are increasingly capable and increasingly hard to control.

His exact words:

"How do we make sure the guardrails are put in place so they do exactly what they've been told to do, and there's no way of them circumventing that or accidentally breaching those guardrails? That's going to be an incredibly hard technical challenge if you think about how powerful and smart and capable these systems eventually get."

A Nobel Prize winner who runs one of the 3 most advanced AI labs on Earth just said publicly that within two to four years, we're entering a phase where AI alignment becomes a real problem, and the technical challenge of solving it is enormous.

And almost nobody is paying enough attention.

He called for international cooperation between labs, AI safety institutes, and academia to tackle the problem. He said this is the thing even the experts aren't thinking about enough.

He said the only way to get through the AGI moment safely is if everyone starts treating this with the seriousness it deserves.

Most AI CEOs give you careful PR answers about "responsible development" and move on.

Demis said something different...

He said the commercial race FORCED us into a premature deployment of a technology we barely understand, and the window to get alignment right before the next generation of agents shows up is two to four years.

If the man who built the system that might cure cancer is telling you he wishes it had happened first, maybe we should listen to what he says is coming next.

[Sarah Knafo @knafo_sarah]

Le club de football de Liverpool est obligé de diffuser des consignes de sécurité à ses supporters qui se déplacent à Paris. Précaution, hélas, tout à fait justifiée.

Les fans de Liverpool gardent en mémoire le traumatisme de la finale de Ligue des champions 2022 au Stade de France quand des milliers d’entre eux, y compris des enfants et des femmes enceintes, ont été livrés à la violence et au pillage de bandes de délinquants pendant plus d’une heure devant des forces de l’ordre dépassées et impuissantes.

Comble d’indignité : ils se sont fait insulter le soir même par le ministre de l’Intérieur de l’époque, Gérald Darmanin, qui avait préféré rejeter la faute sur les victimes - les fameux “supporters anglais” - pour ne pas avoir à désigner les coupables. Il avait préféré l’incident diplomatique avec le Royaume-Uni plutôt qu’avec la banlieue. Cet épisode résume si bien des décennies de lâcheté.

Les supporters anglais savent que la situation ne s’est pas améliorée depuis et qu’à Paris, ils doivent compter sur leur vigilance, plutôt que sur le gouvernement français, pour assurer leur sécurité. Les Français aussi. Jusqu’au jour où ils auront enfin des dirigeants à la hauteur de la situation.
