Le milliardaire controversé était auditionné ce jeudi par une commission d'enquête sénatorial. Il est revenu sur son parcours avant d'assumer sa volonté de peser dans le débat public.

Finally finished everything in the game! Unless something incredible comes out of nowhere, this is my game of the year.

Short Review

Mina the Hollower is a retro top-down adventure game, it's a mix between Zelda, Castlevania, and Bloodborne - with references to all three in particular.

The game is just fantastic all around. The combat is tight, the music and art are incredible, and the horror atmosphere of the whole world is just amazing. The game has hands-down some of the best level and world design you'll see in games, it's so full of secrets and shortcuts and manages to feel huge and fun to explore without being too confusing. The game also boldly does not have a map, but it does guide you in the general directions you need to go.

You will get lost, especially at the start, but you'll slowly have a grasp of how the whole world connects as you play. The biggest issue people have is the game's difficulty, but I can say that the game gets easier as you keep playing and explore. After the first area or two, you'll start stacking trinkets that make life a whole lot easier, even in late-game areas. There are some really good trinkets near the start of the game that are easily missable, so be sure to look around - don't try brute forcing the game!

I also want to add that the game has toooons of modifiers that you can enable on your save file. Some make the game easier, some make the game harder, some are weird and let you break the game (like a super high jump modifier) as well as a lot of visual stuff. The good stuff though is unlocked after beating the game, there are crazy modifiers like a built-in randomizer, or a modifier that removes RPG mechanics and equalizes difficulty, or one that mirrors the world... The game is built from the ground up to be replayed in many different ways and has built-in challenge runs. If you're into these things, you can keep coming back to the game and play it for a loooooooong time. I'm already getting ready for New Game+ before doing any of the crazier ones.

That's pretty much it. It's such a great game. Go play it!

GEO Group’s stock has risen 25% in one month, after their first quarter results. Let me translate this corporate speech:

“New growth opportunities” aka ICE is kidnapping immigrants at a record pace and we need to open new concentration camps to hold all of those people. 70.8% of current detainees have no criminal convictions.

“Last year was the most successful period for new business wins in our Company’s history with new or expanded contracts representing up to $520 million in annualized revenues. We expect 2026 to be very active as well.” The taxpayers are giving us half a billion dollars a year to hold people in inhumane conditions and we expect the kidnappings to continue unabated in 2026!

Jobs in the future

I'm running Linux Mint on a home server that happens to run pihole. Since it's both a dhcp and dns server for my network, it has a static ip address. It has an ethernet connection as well as wifi and it's always been my understanding that you can't have two network interfaces sharing the same IP address, so I've been looking into ways to have one network adapter enabled and the other disabled and then if the network connection of the active device is lost, the other re-enables with the same IP address and disables the other device. This mostly work.

However while debugging one bit of software that seems to have a problem with me disabling my wifi adapter, I inadvertently enabled both the eth and wifi connections while each have the same, manually assigned ip address and everything so far just seems to work. I didn't think this was possible and I'm wondering, should I expect problems? I can connect to the machine remotely fine, pihole and dvr services installed on the box work. Is there any reason to believe this won't work?

oh boy.

In its petition to the Commission, X Corp. cited several reasons why it believes that the order should either be set aside or modified so that it terminates at the end of 2026. The petition argues:

The order was imposed on a company that no longer exists, that every individual responsible for the underlying failures has left the company and that X Corp. has since built a world-class privacy and data-protection program;

The order no longer serves any valid regulatory purpose, imposing millions of dollars in needless costs to address obligations and protections already required by domestic and international privacy regimes and industry-recognized frameworks that X Corp. follows;

Setting aside the order safeguards First Amendment values; and

Setting aside or modifying the order is critical to advancing American leadership in artificial intelligence.

An interesting look at what Anthropic sees as the future of AI research, and how their internal use of Claude has changed over the last year

Claude-written code was somewhat worse than human-written code at Anthropic in late 2025, is roughly at parity today, and we expect it to be strictly better within the year.

but also

Work (and life) ran on a gift economy of small favors between humans. ‘Can you help me get this script running?’ [...] each one created a little debt, a little mutual awareness. [Claude is] faster, it creates zero debt, but each of these is a lost bid for human collaboration.
