I condemn the Israeli government for their war crime.

“This is an attack on humanitarian organisations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” World Central Kitchen chief executive officer Erin Gore said.

WCK’s Zomi & Chef Oli are in our new Deir al-Balah kitchen where our team is cooking thousands of portions of rice with beef & vegetable stew today. We’re expanding this space so we can increase the amount of meals we produce for families in central Gaza daily. #ChefsForThePeople

If you only have time to read one explainer for the current state of global political economy make sure this is the one. You won’t find a more succinct encapsulation for the fulcrum of economic and political forces shaping our contemporary condition in the 21st century.

franchement l'annonce de Huawei hier à Shanghai vient de mettre noir sur blanc ce que j'essaie de vous faire comprendre ici depuis des années

pour vulgariser Huawei vient d’annoncer au sympoisum ieee iscas une nouvelle loi physique qui remplace la loi de moore, ils l’appellent la tau scaling law et elle change littéralement le paradigme du semiconducteur mondial, en gros au lieu de continuer à rétrécir les transistors ce qui se heurte à des limites physiques quantiques infranchissables, ils optimisent dorénavant la constante de temps tau à 4 niveaux simultanément et obtiennent des gains de performance équivalents à ce que les américains atteignent avec leur lithographie euv à 200 millions de dollars la machine, sauf qu’eux n’ont pas accès à cette lithographie depuis les sanctions de 2019

la Chine dépasse donc la silicon valley sur son propre terrain et la rend périmée et ce qui se joue réellement est l'exact contraire de ce que Washington imaginait en décidant des sanctions de 2019

en ce sens je crois que très peu de gens ont pris la peine de regarder vraiment les slides de la présentation parce que le coeur de la rupture se cache ailleurs que dans le concept marketing de tau scaling law, il se trouve dans un détail technique que seuls quelques ingénieurs spécialisés ont remarqué (et que je suis parti fouiller haha), il existe visiblement un procédé de collage entre couches de silicium avec un espacement + petit que 2 micromètres, ce qui transforme les fils verticaux reliant les différentes couches d'une même puce en chemins de calcul à part entière, ils maîtrisent là l'intégration en 3 dimensions au sens fort pendant que le reste du monde raisonne encore sur un seul plan horizontal

pour moi la meilleure image c'est celle d'un architecte qui construit une tour pendant que ses concurrents continuent d'étaler des maisons individuelles à l'horizontale, intel et tsmc se battent pour graver des transistors toujours plus minuscules parce que leurs lithographies euv les enferment dans cette logique, huawei coupé de ces lithographies depuis 2019 a choisi un autre combat, raccourcir au maximum le temps qu'un signal électrique met pour traverser l'ensemble du système, cette durée qu'ils nomment tau et qu'ils minimisent simultanément au niveau du composant du circuit de la puce et de la machine complète, c'est de la physique réelle présentée dans la conférence ieee la plus sérieuse au monde sur le sujet

d’ailleurs les chiffres font réfléchir, allez jeter un coupé d’œil et vous allez voir que la densité de transistors monte de 126 à plus de 400 millions par millimètre carré entre 2024 et 2031, la fréquence des coeurs grimpe de 2,6 à 5 gigahertz, même la performance des systèmes complets fait x125 en 4 ans entre 2026 et 2030 & surtout 381 puces ont déjà été fabriquées en série selon ces principes depuis 2020, autant dire qu'ils ont commencé à changer de paradigme dès la première vague de sanctions américaines, 6 années de travail discret pendant que les analystes occidentaux les croyaient en mode survie mdr ce que tout le monde prenait pour de la résistance était en réalité un virage stratégique médité et mené avec la patience d'un peuple qui voit à 50 ans (la vision à très long terme de la Chine dont je vous parle souvent )

je vous le répète depuis des années ici, les sanctions occidentales accélèrent la politique industrielle et tech de Chine au lieu de la freiner, elles l'obligent à inventer le monde d'après pendant que l’occident reste coincé dans celui d'avant, d’ailleurs pour info même BYD a créé la batterie LFP face au blocage du nickel et il domine désormais le marché mondial de la voiture électrique, deepseek a conçu son architecture multi-head latent attention face au blocage des puces h100 et il a divisé par 10 le coût des grands modèles de langage, Huawei vient de poser logicfolding et tau scaling face au blocage de l'euv et il redessine déjà la trajectoire mondiale du semiconducteur jusqu'en 2031

Shame on the EU, its main enabler in this part of the world.

Anthropic has 454 open roles. The company is hiring software engineers at $320K-$405K. Their CEO, Dario, said three months ago that coding is "going away first, then all of software engineering."

The paradox resolves instantly.

Dario's engineers told him they don't write code anymore. They let Claude write it. They edit. They review. They architect. They didn't lose their jobs. They got faster. Anthropic grew from a small research lab to 1,500 employees in four years, adding engineers the entire time.

This has played out five times in computing history. Compilers replaced assembly. Frameworks replaced boilerplate. Cloud replaced server management. Every prediction was the same: most programmers won't be needed. Every result was the same: the number of engineers grew.

The global software engineer pool went from roughly 5 million in 2010 to 28.7 million today. BLS projects 17% growth in US software developer roles through 2033, adding 304,000 positions. The pool is projected to hit 45 million by 2030.

When building software gets cheaper, more problems become worth solving with software. A startup that needed 10 engineers now needs 3. But 50 companies that couldn't afford to build at all now can. The denominator shrinks. The numerator explodes.

Meta's engineering headcount is up 19% from January 2022. Google's is up 16%. Apple, 13%. These companies adopted AI coding tools years ago. They're using Copilot and Claude Code daily. They're hiring more engineers than before those tools existed.

Every generation of "coding is dead" content creates two cohorts: engineers who freeze up, and engineers who build 10x more with the new tools. The second group has won every single time.

This video is a must watch, must share. It compiles various recent public statements by Israeli officials that show beyond the shadow of a doubt that the intention behind the Israeli violence against the Palestinians is GENOCIDAL.

The clean-energy revolution is being overwhelmingly spearheaded by China.

That’s not a subjective statement; it’s a fact.

There was a hugely important announcement today at COP30: South Korea joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, and in doing so, announced it will not build any new coal plants and will shut down 40 existing plants by 2040. As the country with the 7th largest coal fleet, this is a significant signal to the rest of the world. I offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to President Lee Jae-Myung on this action. https://t.co/Z8j3wl88XD

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I wonder how many light-years it will take Western media and politicians to register confessions like this, and the deliberate and the systemic destruction of Palestinians as a people as such they lay bare.

If journalists at Al Jazeera @AJEnglish can track down & identify the Israeli soldiers who murdered Hind Rajab — could Australian journalists track down & identify the Israeli officers who murdered Australian Zomi Frankcom & her colleagues, and the Israeli officials who covered up the full details?

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

The reports from Gaza are of an unprecedented level of bombing tonight. Like nothing seen before in history. Israelis have been panicking, thinking the explosions are nearby, due to their extreme loudness. Meanwhile, Israel and Trump have been preparing the Israeli public for the possible death of hostages, as they know they may not survive this unholy barrage.

There are roughly 750,000 people in Gaza City right now. Who knows what they are enduring right now.

🇪🇸 Spain Cancels Major Arms Deal with Israel

Spain has officially canceled a nearly €700M ($825M) contract with Elbit Systems for 12 SILAM rocket launchers based on Israeli PULS tech, signed in October 2023. The move, confirmed Sept. 15, follows Madrid’s earlier suspension of a €287M deal for Spike LR 2 anti-tank missiles from Rafael.

Officials say Spain is conducting a broader review to phase out Israeli weapons and tech from its armed forces, citing humanitarian concerns and Israel’s war on Gaza. Madrid recently unveiled nine measures against Israel — including a total arms embargo, port and airspace bans, settlement import restrictions, and €10M in new aid for Gaza.
