French financial newspaper Les Echos clearly shows their opinion (and possibly fears) of their owner LVMH this week: 4 stories against taxing the richest and for more austerity. Usually their editorial articles are more nuanced and balanced (even though it’s a liberal newspaper)

"Avoiding austerity is less believable now, at last"

"Zucman tax is just a symbol for populists and would be a bad thing"

Just visited (at last) the Soulages Museum in Rodez! Great to witness the evolution of the artist, in a beautiful building. Extra bonus: the fantastic Café Bras on the premise 😋

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true 1/

From an engineering perspective, software wants to be decoupled. From a business value perspective, software wants to be deeply interconnected. That's the fundamental friction that software design, and Domain-Driven Design specifically, attempts to address.

Event description
You hear it in the media, on your social feed, in meetings with coworkers: AI’s advance means the end of programming as a career. We don’t buy it. AI isn’t replacing developers; it’s opening up new frontiers to be explored and new skills to be mastered. There will be disruption, sure. But like every true technological revolution, AI expands the palette available to human creativity, and the market will demand new services that put it to use.

You’ll notice that “test coverage” is not one of the desirable properties of tests in testdesiderata.com. Coverage by itself means nothing. Lack of coverage means something but increasing coverage doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
