"Lorsque sur un plateau TV un climatologue entend un journaliste dire que les scientifiques « n’ont pas été assez clairs » sur le changement climatique, il a le droit de s’énerver. Mais alors, qui accuser de la désinformation sur le climat ?" https://www.lemonde.fr/sciences-au-carre/article/2026/06/30/mesinformation-climatique-qui-est-responsable_6717254_6565027.html

On les entends pas beaucoup là- iels ont pas le temps- mais encore une fois on se défausse sur les personnels des hôpitaux publics ( principalement) pour tenir à elleux seuls les conséquences de l'absence d'organisation sociale à tous les autres niveaux.
Another example where a bit of funding to fix some tech that would benefit a lot of people in this world, but no one does it because it seemingly wouldn't turn a profit.

h/t to The Crux newsletter for the link.
Lots of regrettable silliness here: two papers by Max Planck (!) have been retracted, probably by some automated process that based the decision on the same material appearing in another journal (which was far more common at the time, and even Einstein did it) and a rebuttal to a work being published under the same title (but not author) as the thing being rebutted.
But the funniest line in the article is:
“Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.”

Calcul quantique et IA. Jonas Landman, chercheur à l’Inria et à l’ENS, nous fait découvrir, pas à pas, ce sujet passionnant.
J'ai adoré interviewer Jonas pour Cause Commune. Il m'a scotché avec ses réponses.

Tumblr flittering-sylph:
Man I hate it when people use the pronoun “you” as a singular pronoun in an informa setting. “You” is plural, unless thou dost speak to an unfamiliar person. the correct singular second person in “thou” in most cases. Grammar never changes. Pronouns must always stay one way until the end of time. Learn thy proper English. *sigh* Kids these days.
Tumbler gollyplot:
If thou this mistake shouldst make on thine own blog, then know, villain, that thou art a dirty descriptivist, and no friend of mine. Ne'er should language itself alter, it doth remain fixèd as such, untouch'd by change. Wouldst thou, vile descriptivist, that we forget the heritage of our great tongue? Nay, say I. Thou art but a dickhead who sayest so.

Note: the Beowulfian English is more or less “cease this prattle! both these writers are witless knaves. the language of england is befouled, ill used by scandalous innovation”.
Homo naledi, a 300,000-year-old relative of modern humans, has always been a little mysterious to scientists, and now the plot has thickened. After analyzing genetic material from the two-dozen H. naledi skeletons that were found in a South African cave system, researchers found that they are all female. "The bottom line is this is a weird result from an already weird hominin," Elizabeth Sawchuk, curator of human evolution at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History told @LiveScience.
Today in “let’s learn English with the news”: the word “algae” is pronounced the same as the “LG” in “LGBTQ” (it’s a soft g). TIL.
Not one, but two proposals to start encoding Maya hieroglyphs in Unicode!
This represents such a tremendous amount of research work, done by several impressive scholars over so many years.
And the Maya hieroglyphs (and their typographical rendition) are just so incredibly beautiful!

Oh Hai! Do you like compiling quantum software? Maybe you should send something to the 8th International Workshop on Quantum Compilation? The deadline is the 10th of July!

Le niveau d'absurdité et de gaspillage induit par les crawlers IA c'est quand même impressionnant.
En 33 jours, mon serveur web s'est mangé 2,21 milliards de requêtes HTTP. Si je me trompe pas ça fait une moyenne de 775 requêtes par seconde.
Ce traffic a consommé 5,40 terabytes de bande passante.
Le site qui a reçu le plus de traffic (787 millions) c'est le wordpress d'une asso ultra locale qui doit avoir quelques centaines de visiteurs humains par mois, grand max.
Edit : vu que ce fil a circulé bien plus que je m'y attendais, je vous invite à lire la suite publiée ce matin pour avoir plus de contexte sur ces chiffres
