The EU has never been a democratic entity, As a French, I still remember the so-called "2005 French European Constitution referendum (Do you approve the bill authorising the ratification of the treaty establishing a Constitution for Eu

I lived in China for a while a decade ago, studied at Tsinghua and did some research as well. IMHO you have more freedom in China than in Europe. Can you walk on the street and say "Fuck Xi Jinping" like you would in France with M

I found the article interesting yet my thinking is at the opposite spectrum. I also spent a lot of time using LLM, and I am moving away from "no framework" or "library pretending to be a framework". Not that I was a fan

Sure then I don’t comply, so what? If the UK wants to go full totalitarian it’s alright, they can even consider me a criminal or ban me from entering the country. I usually avoid traveling to countries doing non sense or that would arrest m

If I was a heavy drinker and smoker I would likely have health problems and shaking hands. I don’t think I need the New York Times to inform me about it or that 88 years old are dying from heart attacks everyday. But if people starts to beh

Yes many countries will decide to extradite for actions which are legal in said country. I am French, and we recently convinced Scotland to extradite a French man who was denying the existence of the Holocaust and gaz chamber, which is some

I found some interesting bits in this article but overall I think it’s being overly cynical. In the past ten years, I worked with one guy from Nigeria and a bunch of people from Iran. Bitcoin (or rather cryptocurrencies in general) have bee

I am willing to take pretty much any legal risks, I don’t want to give up on my mother, regardless of how it can backfire. I flee out of Thailand several months ago, because I was receiving some death threats, so I should be safe on that ma

I used AI to write press releases in every languages I know there are victims. I am trying to look for someone who can help me shoot / edit short videos, and I will try to use Heygen to translate them. Posting on TikTok might be useful

Yes I was also surprised, at least one of those comments looked legit to me, not written with AI or a anything. I will check the settings

It's something I am considering, not just talking about whether a country is safe or not, but listening to whistleblowers and listing scammers by name / pictures / estimated amount / connections / and publishing per

Ideally yes, I agree, but it's actually not so easy to get in touch with other victims without any help from the press.

Getting the money back would obviously be number 1, I am not crazy enough to enjoy « revenge » above my my mother’s wellbeing. But I already hired a lawyer, I don’t think there is any way we will win this legally. The whole thing is rigged

We bought during Covid, the building was half-way done, the prices were attractive, and the story telling was that they mostly worked with workers from Burma and Laos, it was a bit slow to get them a working visa during Covid. Hence, why th

I have traveled extensively to both the US and China (where I did a master degree) several years ago. I did not keep the count of many times I crossed each borders, but I can assure you it was pretty much always easier to get into China tha

I am French and I have lived in both countries, US and China. The amount of interference we get from the US is much, much higher than from China. So I am not sure of the pertinence of such an argument.

Maybe because "My new car" does not imply that the car itself has never been used? Just that it's YOUR new car.

I truly enjoyed the read, my only criticism is about the « internet » Yes, down to the core it’s indeed just transmitting electrical current from one side to the other. But I believe Franklin would be amazed by the sheer ingenuity that foll

The author makes some good points. But then he also spends the few paragraphs laughing about executives operating based on beliefs/ideologies instead of facts. Just to talk about EU letting some countries sliding into fascism. Fascism

My plans are to remain curious, to spend many hours exploring/learning. I am fairly confident about my capacity to adapt, I truly enjoy learning, many people don't. I don't see any valid reasons why - a non filmmaker using AI

Reviewing 250 includes the one I just straight up discard. I don’t try to retain anything, if it’s really interesting I will take some notes, or it will inspire me a new piece of content. In most cases I just skim through it and I’m just gl

I have Feedly premium and I use it to subscribe to newsletters. So they are part of my daily RSS feed. I try to review 250 piece of content every single day. (reviewing includes deleting boring stuff) I have some filters/priority setup

Sundar should get laid off. He is not a bad CEO per say. But he is a bad CEO in the current context. Google is not innovating, they are slowly losing on all front. I think Sundar is too conventional.

Nobody would care. In Asia there is a « bakery » brand named « Paris Baguette » It’s Korean. And it’s kind of disgusting. Their macarons are terrible. Do French people care? We could not care less. The amount of fragility you need to have t

We will just change mindset, instead of filtering out crap. We will filter in genuine content. You can browse Twitter using only custom lists for example.
