This article in Le Monde about French research in general and the CNRS in particular has a few depressing graphs www.lemonde.fr/sciences/art...

The graph highlights a growing divergence between Germany and France:

* In the mid-1990s, France and Germany spent similar shares of GDP on R&D.
* Germany subsequently increased its R&D investment by about 1 percentage point of GDP.
* France’s R&D effort remained largely stagnant.
* By 2023, Germany spends 3.15% of GDP on R&D compared with 2.18% in France, a gap of nearly 1 percentage point of GDP.
* France is also well below the OECD average (2.93%).

The figure therefore illustrates that France has fallen behind both Germany and the OECD average in R&D intensity over the past three decades.

Sources listed on the graphic: OECD database, UNESCO, ANR, ERC; infographic by Le Monde.

In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.

La recherche publique en France: Le petit déjeuner mensuel est annulé pour ne pas impacter la continuité des activités de recherche.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Nous sommes actuellement en période de restriction "Service votés", ce qui impacte nos dépenses.

La priorité étant donnée aux dépenses strictement nécessaires à la continuité des activités de recherche, nous sommes contraints d'annuler notre petit déjeuner mensuel qui était prévu jeudi 5 février 2026.

Nous espérons nous retrouver pour ce moment convivial dès que possible.

Bon après-midi,

Patricia

Creating the standard is often just the last step once we already agree on 90% of it. Don’t equate #interoperability with #standardization. The process of creating interoperable solutions involves so much more.

Standardization isn’t something you can just throw effort at and expect it to deliver. I often compare it to writing a hit song: being good helps, having a great marketing strategy helps, timing helps, having some funding helps, and so on.

Ironic: as LLMs make writing much easier, I am finding not more, but less interesting and novel things to read online. And so I keep paying more attention to the fewer people who still write their original thoughts (without LLMs - you can tell how repetitive it gets with them)

Pierre Maillot @lepierremaillot.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Really mixed messages there: Using LLMs to generate a review is forbidden, but should our reviewers do it, you shouldn't try to take advantage of it using prompt injection. This is a gray area of ethics with a dilemna similar to "Is it ethical to steal from a thief ?"
