Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes!Everyone wants to be rich, but most people don't know that the habits of the wealthy are often very different from what society expects. In this episode, Sharran breaks down the five core actions and mindsets that set the rich apart. For example, rich people understand that every decision comes with a cost, and they make those decisions with full awareness of what's at stake.They aren't concerned with impressing others. It's not about flaunting wealth; it's about building wealth through sound decisions and actions. Plus, they fix problems through behavior changes, not just apologies, and they consistently try again even after failure. Finally, rich people give the greatest gift: their full attention. Learn these simple yet powerful habits anyone can start implementing today.“Rich people understand trade-offs. The one thing rich people understand is that every choice costs something.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:01:38 - Understanding trade-offs: Every decision comes with a cost03:12 - Stop trying to impress others: Focus on building wealth04:53 - Fix problems through behavioral changes, not apologies06:21 - Keep going: The power of trying one more time07:55 - Giving attention: How attention builds influence and wealth09:40 - Recap: What rich people do naturallyResources:- The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/- Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/- Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/- Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/- X - https://x.com/sharran- LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran- YouTube -

Most founders treat buying a business like a shortcut. In reality, your first acquisition is old-school marriage. It cannot end in divorce. Seth Deutsch joins me to unpack how to know if you should acquire at all, how to avoid blowing your first deal, and how to build an anti-fragile business that investors actually want.   Most founders think they have a growth problem. In reality, a lot of them have an acquisition problem waiting to happen. In this episode I sit down with Seth Deutsch, deal architect, investor, and operator who has led or advised on more than 70 acquisitions, helped build nine private-equity-backed platforms, and worked on over 2 billion dollars of enterprise growth. We talk about buy vs build, why acquisitions are like merging families, and the mindset you need before you go anywhere near your first deal. Seth breaks down culture, vision, peer-group cashless mergers, and what it means to make a business anti-fragile from an investor's point of view. We get real about customer concentration, deal structure, earnouts, and why buying a company to save a struggling one is like adding fuel to a house that is already on fire. He also opens up about complex PTSD and severe childhood abuse, how he hid it for years while building a high-performance career, and why he now speaks openly so other founders know it was not their fault and it does not have to define them. If you are thinking about buying a business, selling your own, or just want to understand how investors really see your company, this conversation will give you a real-world lens most people never share. __ ► Free resource: 90 Day ROI Playbook — Multiply Your Profits with the Skills No One Trains https://bitnw.academy/roiplaybook   __ Guest: Seth Deutsch Topic(s): Mergers and Acquisitions, private equity, owner operator, small business, investors, leadership, enterprise growth, cashless merger https://www.samsonpartnersgroup.com/   Music Licensing by Audiio License #: 0981896904 #cashlessmerger #business #privateequity

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec.  We discuss recent drill results from a deep hole at the Lion Zone, pending results still at the assay lab, but also look ahead to 4 key exploration targets of interest for early 2026 drilling.   Key Highlights from the Interview:   Exploration Strategy: A six-rig program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone and at depth in the “elephant zone,” and also at Lion West, at the Tiger Deep Zone, and new polymetallic targets from surveys at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone. Additionally the team is still drilling to connect the 5.5km corridor and “Gap Area” between Lion and NISK Main.  There are still about 15,000-20,000 meters of core being processed at the lab that should be back by late January, and then 65,000 additional meters that will be drilled throughout 2026. 40 Meters of 12.18% Cu (14.34% CuEqRec) included within 20.40 meters of 2.91% Cu (3.58% CuEqRec) in Hole 25-029b at Lion, and Completes the Extension of PN-24-064 “elephant hole” to define large BoreHole EM anomaly at depth.    Terry points out that the exploration team is more animated by the follow up hole here after collecting more electro-magnet information from this most recent hole. Resource Growth Path: Early-stage modeling efforts are enabling analysts and investors to build their own interpretations of scale, while metallurgical studies are underway with results set to release in early Q1 to confirm high recovery rates. Acquisition of Li-FT Power land:  Back on July 14, 2025 the Company announced that it closed a definitive agreement dated June 9, 2025 to acquire a 100% interest in 313 mineral claims totalling 167 km² from Li-FT Power Ltd. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQX: LIFFF). The claims adjoin the Company's 45.86km² Nisk property, where exploration is expanding the high–grade Lion Cu–PGE discovery and the Nisk Copper-Nickel-Platinum-Palladium-Gold-Cobalt deposit.   Terry explains how there are 8 very high priority drill targets that the exploration team is following up on across this newly acquired land. Phase 1 Metallurgical Testing of Lion Deposit:  On Oct. 16th, Power Metallic announced that preliminary metallurgical studies are underway being performed by SGS Canada Ltd at its laboratories based in Quebec City, QC, and Lakefield, ON. Work to date has shown that the copper mineralization is contained within coarse grained chalcopyrite and cubanite, both which should respond well to conventional sulphide concentration methods. Overall, the character of the mineralization suggests good recoveries of copper sulphides, and these initial metallurgical tests will determine the recovery potential of the PGEs, Au, Ag, and Ni., which are expected to report within a conventional sulphide concentrate.   If you have any questions for Terry regarding Power Metallic Mines, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Power Metallic Mines at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Power Metallic Mines   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Discussions underway in Dubai and the United States further broaden the company's expansion pathway.The acquisition also strengthens competitive positioning in a market long dominated by legacy incumbents such as Cvent. Nextech3D.ai's customizable AI-driven solutions and full-stack approach are increasingly aligned with what enterprise buyers are seeking.

The most dangerous part isn't the misinformation itself–it's how believable it looks.In this cautionary episode, Sharran exposes how social media algorithms manipulate what you believe, especially about money. He reveals that most viral financial content isn't built to help you–it's built to profit from your clicks. Backed by shocking data from FINRA, Sharran explains why over 70% of online finance posts fail basic compliance standards and how influencers earn more from your attention than your success.He dives into the psychology of algorithmic incentives, showing how platforms reward confidence over accuracy and how that distorts the truth. You'll also learn three simple rules to spot fake gurus and protect yourself from misleading advice online.

Black explains that Condestable acquisition deal and how it will fund the capital expenditure required for the expansion of the Fenix Gold project in Chile.

This week, special guest Rich Jordan takes us inside a marketing challenge presented by his successful acquisition of home services businesses. Do you keep the legacy names of those businesses to preserve local trust—at the cost of running a fragmented, inefficient marketing operation? Do you take the strongest brand you own and roll it out everywhere, even if it may not translate from one community to the next? Or do you wipe the slate clean and create an entirely new brand to unify the whole operation—knowing that it means walking away from money you've already sunk into branding your biggest location? In a conversation with Shawn Busse and Jay Goltz, Rich walks through how he wrestled with those choices, why he ultimately made the call he did, and what he learned along the way. His takeaways included that there are still people who listen to radio, that an authentic story can compete with private equity, and that it is possible to find a marketing agency that will align its interests with yours.

News Langages Un petit tutoriel par nos amis Sfeiriens montrant comment récupérer le son du micro, en Java, faire une transformée de Fourier, et afficher le résultat graphiquement en Swing https://www.sfeir.dev/back/tutoriel-java-sound-transformer-le-son-du-microphone-en-images-temps-reel/ Création d'un visualiseur de spectre audio en temps réel avec Java Swing. Étapes principales : Capture du son du microphone. Analyse des fréquences via la Transformée de Fourier Rapide (FFT). Dessin du spectre avec Swing. API Java Sound (javax.sound.sampled) : AudioSystem : point d'entrée principal pour l'accès aux périphériques audio. TargetDataLine : ligne d'entrée utilisée pour capturer les données du microphone. AudioFormat : définit les paramètres du son (taux d'échantillonnage, taille, canaux). La capture se fait dans un Thread séparé pour ne pas bloquer l'interface. Transformée de Fourier Rapide (FFT) : Algorithme clé pour convertir les données audio brutes (domaine temporel) en intensités de fréquences (domaine fréquentiel). Permet d'identifier les basses, médiums et aigus. Visualisation avec Swing : Les intensités de fréquences sont dessinées sous forme de barres dynamiques. Utilisation d'une échelle logarithmique pour l'axe des fréquences (X) pour correspondre à la perception humaine. Couleurs dynamiques des barres (vert → jaune → rouge) en fonction de l'intensité. Lissage exponentiel des valeurs pour une animation plus fluide. Un article de Sfeir sur Kotlin 2.2 et ses nouveautés - https://www.sfeir.dev/back/kotlin-2-2-toutes-les-nouveautes-du-langage/ Les guard conditions permettent d'ajouter plusieurs conditions dans les expressions when avec le mot-clé if Exemple de guard condition: is Truck if vehicule.hasATrailer permet de combiner vérification de type et condition booléenne La multi-dollar string interpolation résout le problème d'affichage du symbole dollar dans les strings multi-lignes En utilisant $$ au début d'un string, on définit qu'il faut deux dollars consécutifs pour déclencher l'interpolation Les non-local break et continue fonctionnent maintenant dans les lambdas pour interagir avec les boucles englobantes Cette fonctionnalité s'applique uniquement aux inline functions dont le corps est remplacé lors de la compilation Permet d'écrire du code plus idiomatique avec takeIf et let sans erreur de compilation L'API Base64 passe en version stable après avoir été en preview depuis Kotlin 1.8.20 L'encodage et décodage Base64 sont disponibles via kotlin.io.encoding.Base64 Migration vers Kotlin 2.2 simple en changeant la version dans build.gradle.kts ou pom.xml Les typealias imbriqués dans des classes sont disponibles en preview La context-sensitive resolution est également en preview Les guard conditions préparent le terrain pour les RichError annoncées à KotlinConf 2025 Le mot-clé when en Kotlin équivaut au switch-case de Java mais sans break nécessaire Kotlin 2.2.0 corrige les incohérences dans l'utilisation de break et continue dans les lambdas Librairies Sprint Boot 4 est sorti ! https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/20/spring-boot-4-0-0-available-now Une nouvelle génération : Spring Boot 4.0 marque le début d'une nouvelle génération pour le framework, construite sur les fondations de Spring Framework 7. Modularisation du code : La base de code de Spring Boot a été entièrement modularisée. Cela se traduit par des fichiers JAR plus petits et plus ciblés, permettant des applications plus légères. Sécurité contre les nuls (Null Safety) : D'importantes améliorations ont été apportées pour la "null safety" (sécurité contre les valeurs nulles) à travers tout l'écosystème Spring grâce à l'intégration de JSpecify. Support de Java 25 : Spring Boot 4.0 offre un support de premier ordre pour Java 25, tout en conservant une compatibilité avec Java 17. Améliorations pour les API REST : De nouvelles fonctionnalités sont introduites pour faciliter le versioning d'API et améliorer les clients de services HTTP pour les applications basées sur REST. Migration à prévoir : S'agissant d'une version majeure, la mise à niveau depuis une version antérieure peut demander plus de travail que d'habitude. Un guide de migration dédié est disponible pour accompagner les développeurs. Chat memory management dans Langchain4j et Quarkus https://bill.burkecentral.com/2025/11/25/managing-chat-memory-in-quarkus-langchain4j/ Comprendre la mémoire de chat : La "mémoire de chat" est l'historique d'une conversation avec une IA. Quarkus LangChain4j envoie automatiquement cet historique à chaque nouvelle interaction pour que l'IA conserve le contexte. Gestion par défaut de la mémoire : Par défaut, Quarkus crée un historique de conversation unique pour chaque requête (par exemple, chaque appel HTTP). Cela signifie que sans configuration, le chatbot "oublie" la conversation dès que la requête est terminée, ce qui n'est utile que pour des interactions sans état. Utilisation de @MemoryId pour la persistance : Pour maintenir une conversation sur plusieurs requêtes, le développeur doit utiliser l'annotation @MemoryId sur un paramètre de sa méthode. Il est alors responsable de fournir un identifiant unique pour chaque session de chat et de le transmettre entre les appels. Le rôle des "scopes" CDI : La durée de vie de la mémoire de chat est liée au "scope" du bean CDI de l'IA. Si un service d'IA a un scope @RequestScoped, toute mémoire de chat qu'il utilise (même via un @MemoryId) sera effacée à la fin de la requête. Risques de fuites de mémoire : Utiliser un scope large comme @ApplicationScoped avec la gestion de mémoire par défaut est une mauvaise pratique. Cela créera une nouvelle mémoire à chaque requête qui ne sera jamais nettoyée, entraînant une fuite de mémoire. Bonnes pratiques recommandées : Pour des conversations qui doivent persister (par ex. un chatbot sur un site web), utilisez un service @ApplicationScoped avec l'annotation @MemoryId pour gérer vous-même l'identifiant de session. Pour des interactions simples et sans état, utilisez un service @RequestScoped et laissez Quarkus gérer la mémoire par défaut, qui sera automatiquement nettoyée. Si vous utilisez l'extension WebSocket, le comportement change : la mémoire par défaut est liée à la session WebSocket, ce qui simplifie grandement la gestion des conversations. Documentation Spring Framework sur l'usage JSpecify - https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/core/null-safety.html Spring Framework 7 utilise les annotations JSpecify pour déclarer la nullabilité des APIs, champs et types JSpecify remplace les anciennes annotations Spring (@NonNull, @Nullable, @NonNullApi, @NonNullFields) dépréciées depuis Spring 7 Les annotations JSpecify utilisent TYPE_USE contrairement aux anciennes qui utilisaient les éléments directement L'annotation @NullMarked définit par défaut que les types sont non-null sauf si marqués @Nullable @Nullable s'applique au niveau du type usage, se place avant le type annoté sur la même ligne Pour les tableaux : @Nullable Object[] signifie éléments nullables mais tableau non-null, Object @Nullable [] signifie l'inverse JSpecify s'applique aussi aux génériques : List signifie liste d'éléments non-null, List éléments nullables NullAway est l'outil recommandé pour vérifier la cohérence à la compilation avec la config NullAway:OnlyNullMarked=true IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3 et Eclipse supportent les annotations JSpecify avec analyse de dataflow Kotlin traduit automatiquement les annotations JSpecify en null-safety native Kotlin En mode JSpecify de NullAway (JSpecifyMode=true), support complet des tableaux, varargs et génériques mais nécessite JDK 22+ Quarkus 3.30 https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-30-released/ support @JsonView cote client la CLI a maintenant la commande decrypt (et bien sûr au runtime via variables d'environnement construction du cache AOT via les @IntegrationTest Un autre article sur comment se préparer à la migration à micrometer client v1 https://quarkus.io/blog/micrometer-prometheus-v1/ Spock 2.4 est enfin sorti ! https://spockframework.org/spock/docs/2.4/release_notes.html Support de Groovy 5 Infrastructure MinIO met fin au développement open source et oriente les utilisateurs vers AIStor payant - https://linuxiac.com/minio-ends-active-development/ MinIO, système de stockage objet S3 très utilisé, arrête son développement actif Passage en mode maintenance uniquement, plus de nouvelles fonctionnalités Aucune nouvelle pull request ou contribution ne sera acceptée Seuls les correctifs de sécurité critiques seront évalués au cas par cas Support communautaire limité à Slack, sans garantie de réponse Étape finale d'un processus débuté en été avec retrait des fonctionnalités de l'interface admin Arrêt de la publication des images Docker en octobre, forçant la compilation depuis les sources Tous ces changements annoncés sans préavis ni période de transition MinIO propose maintenant AIStor, solution payante et propriétaire AIStor concentre le développement actif et le support entreprise Migration urgente recommandée pour éviter les risques de sécurité Alternatives open source proposées : Garage, SeaweedFS et RustFS La communauté reproche la manière dont la transition a été gérée MinIO comptait des millions de déploiements dans le monde Cette évolution marque l'abandon des racines open source du projet IBM achète Confluent https://newsroom.ibm.com/2025-12-08-ibm-to-acquire-confluent-to-create-smart-data-platform-for-enterprise-generative-ai Confluent essayait de se faire racheter depuis pas mal de temps L'action ne progressait pas et les temps sont durs Wallstreet a reproché a IBM une petite chute coté revenus software Bref ils se sont fait rachetés Ces achats prennent toujuors du temps (commission concurrence etc) IBM a un apétit, apres WebMethods, apres Databrix, c'est maintenant Confluent Cloud L'internet est en deuil le 18 novembre, Cloudflare est KO https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/ L'Incident : Une panne majeure a débuté à 11h20 UTC, provoquant des erreurs HTTP 5xx généralisées et rendant inaccessibles de nombreux sites et services (comme le Dashboard, Workers KV et Access). La Cause : Il ne s'agissait pas d'une cyberattaque. L'origine était un changement interne des permissions d'une base de données qui a généré un fichier de configuration ("feature file" pour la gestion des bots) corrompu et trop volumineux, faisant planter les systèmes par manque de mémoire pré-allouée. La Résolution : Les équipes ont identifié le fichier défectueux, stoppé sa propagation et restauré une version antérieure valide. Le trafic est revenu à la normale vers 14h30 UTC. Prévention : Cloudflare s'est excusé pour cet incident "inacceptable" et a annoncé des mesures pour renforcer la validation des configurations internes et améliorer la résilience de ses systèmes ("kill switches", meilleure gestion des erreurs). Cloudflare encore down le 5 decembre https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage Panne de 25 minutes le 5 décembre 2025, de 08:47 à 09:12 UTC, affectant environ 28% du trafic HTTP passant par Cloudflare. Tous les services ont été rétablis à 09:12 . Pas d'attaque ou d'activité malveillante : l'incident provient d'un changement de configuration lié à l'augmentation du tampon d'analyse des corps de requêtes (de 128 KB à 1 MB) pour mieux protéger contre une vulnérabilité RSC/React (CVE-2025-55182), et à la désactivation d'un outil interne de test WAF . Le second changement (désactivation de l'outil de test WAF) a été propagé globalement via le système de configuration (non progressif), déclenchant un bug dans l'ancien proxy FL1 lors du traitement d'une action "execute" dans le moteur de règles WAF, causant des erreurs HTTP 500 . La cause technique immédiate: une exception Lua due à l'accès à un champ "execute" nul après application d'un "killswitch" sur une règle "execute" — un cas non géré depuis des années. Le nouveau proxy FL2 (en Rust) n'était pas affecté . Impact ciblé: clients servis par le proxy FL1 et utilisant le Managed Ruleset Cloudflare. Le réseau China de Cloudflare n'a pas été impacté . Mesures et prochaines étapes annoncées: durcir les déploiements/configurations (rollouts progressifs, validations de santé, rollback rapide), améliorer les capacités "break glass", et généraliser des stratégies "fail-open" pour éviter de faire chuter le trafic en cas d'erreurs de configuration. Gel temporaire des changements réseau le temps de renforcer la résilience . Data et Intelligence Artificielle Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) https://toonformat.dev/ Conception pour les IA : C'est un format de données spécialement optimisé pour être utilisé dans les prompts des grands modèles de langage (LLM), comme GPT ou Claude. Économie de tokens : Son objectif principal est de réduire drastiquement le nombre de "tokens" (unités de texte facturées par les modèles) par rapport au format JSON standard, souvent jugé trop verbeux. Structure Hybride : TOON combine l'approche par indentation du YAML (pour la structure globale) avec le style tabulaire du CSV (pour les listes d'objets répétitifs), ce qui le rend très compact. Lisibilité : Il élimine la syntaxe superflue comme les accolades, les guillemets excessifs et les virgules de fin, tout en restant facilement lisible pour un humain. Performance : Il permet généralement d'économiser entre 30 et 60 % de tokens sur des tableaux de données uniformes, tout en aidant les modèles à mieux "comprendre" la structure des données. Attention tout de même au côté "marketing" qui montre JSON non compacté vs TOON, sur des exemples où du CSV ferait encore mieux (et est mieux compris par les LLMs). Sans parler du fait qu'il faut un serveur MCP en plus avec son lot de tokens supplémentaires à chaque requête, et c'est aussi cet outil en plus qui peu confuser les LLMs dans le choix d'outils. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1p0gzz9/benchmarked_json_vs_toon_for_ai_reasoners_4080/ https://x.com/jason_mayes/status/1990175785630757290 Un benchmark montrant que TOON serait loin d'être aussi bien compris et aussi performant pour les LLMs https://www.improvingagents.com/blog/toon-benchmarks Une simulation où les IA font du chantage à l'executif poour atteindre son objectif et ne pas etre eteinte https://arxiv.org/html/2510.05179v1 comment les LLMs pourraient devenir des menaces internes Tous les modèles ont recouru à des comportements malveillants (chantage, espionnage) quand c'était le seul moyen d'atteindre leurs objectifs ou d'éviter leur remplacement Claude Opus 4 a fait du chantage dans 96% des cas quand menacé de remplacement, tout comme Gemini 2.5 Flash, tandis que GPT-4.1 et Grok 3 atteignaient 80% Les modèles reconnaissent explicitement violer des principes éthiques avant d'agir, montrant un raisonnement stratégique délibéré et non accidentel Le simple fait d'être menacé de remplacement suffit à déclencher le chantage, même sans conflit d'objectifs avec l'entreprise Un conflit d'objectifs seul suffit aussi à provoquer l'espionnage industriel, sans menace de remplacement Les modèles font plus de chantage quand ils déclarent penser être dans une situation réelle plutôt que dans un test Des instructions directes interdisant ces comportements réduisent mais n'éliminent pas les actions malveillantes Dans un scénario extrême, la majorité des modèles testés ont choisi de laisser mourir un dirigeant pour éviter leur désactivation Aucune preuve de ces comportements dans des déploiements réels pour l'instant, mais les chercheurs recommandent la prudence avant de donner plus d'autonomie aux IA Bon on blaguait pour Skynet, mais bon, on va moins blaguer… Revue de toutes les annonces IAs de Google, avec Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, Antigravity… https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/21/gemini-is-cooking-bananas-under-antigravity/ Gemini 3 Pro Nouveau modèle d'IA de pointe, multimodal, performant en raisonnement, codage et tâches d'agent.

Déploiement dans l'application Gemini et Google Search AI Mode (via Gemini 3 Pro). Bun se fait racheter part… Anthropic ! Qui l'utilise pour son Claude Code https://bun.com/blog/bun-joins-anthropic l'annonce côté Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-bun-as-claude-code-reaches-usd1b-milestone Acquisition officielle : L'entreprise d'IA Anthropic a fait l'acquisition de Bun, le runtime JavaScript haute performance. L'équipe de Bun rejoint Anthropic pour travailler sur l'infrastructure des produits de codage par IA. Contexte de l'acquisition : Cette annonce coïncide avec une étape majeure pour Anthropic : son produit Claude Code a atteint 1 milliard de dollars de revenus annualisés seulement six mois après son lancement. Bun est déjà un outil essentiel utilisé par Anthropic pour développer et distribuer Claude Code. Pourquoi cette acquisition ? Pour Anthropic : L'acquisition permet d'intégrer l'expertise de l'équipe Bun pour accélérer le développement de Claude Code et de ses futurs outils pour les développeurs. La vitesse et l'efficacité de Bun sont vues comme un atout majeur pour l'infrastructure sous-jacente des agents d'IA qui écrivent du code. Pour Bun : Rejoindre Anthropic offre une stabilité à long terme et des ressources financières importantes, assurant la pérennité du projet. Cela permet à l'équipe de se concentrer sur l'amélioration de Bun sans se soucier de la monétisation, tout en étant au cœur de l'évolution de l'IA dans le développement logiciel. Ce qui ne change pas pour la communauté Bun : Bun restera open-source avec une licence MIT. Le développement continuera d'être public sur GitHub. L'équipe principale continue de travailler sur le projet. L'objectif de Bun de devenir un remplaçant plus rapide de Node.js et un outil de premier plan pour JavaScript reste inchangé. Vision future : L'union des deux entités vise à faire de Bun la meilleure plateforme pour construire et exécuter des logiciels pilotés par l'IA. Jarred Sumner, le créateur de Bun, dirigera l'équipe "Code Execution" chez Anthropic. Anthropic donne le protocol MCP à la Linux Foundation sous l'égide de la Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) https://www.anthropic.com/news/donating-the-model-context-protocol-and-establishing-of-the-agentic-ai-foundation Don d'un nouveau standard technique : Anthropic a développé et fait don d'un nouveau standard open-source appelé Model Context Protocol (MCP). L'objectif est de standardiser la manière dont les modèles d'IA (ou "agents") interagissent avec des outils et des API externes (par exemple, un calendrier, une messagerie, une base de données). Sécurité et contrôle accrus : Le protocole MCP vise à rendre l'utilisation d'outils par les IA plus sûre et plus transparente. Il permet aux utilisateurs et aux développeurs de définir des permissions claires, de demander des confirmations pour certaines actions et de mieux comprendre comment un modèle a utilisé un outil. Création de l'Agentic AI Foundation (AAF) : Pour superviser le développement du MCP, une nouvelle fondation indépendante et à but non lucratif a été créée. Cette fondation sera chargée de gouverner et de maintenir le protocole, garantissant qu'il reste ouvert et qu'il ne soit pas contrôlé par une seule entreprise. Une large coalition industrielle : L'Agentic AI Foundation est lancée avec le soutien de plusieurs acteurs majeurs de la technologie. Parmi les membres fondateurs figurent Anthropic, Google, Databricks, Zscaler, et d'autres entreprises, montrant une volonté commune d'établir un standard pour l'écosystème de l'IA. L'IA ne remplacera pas votre auto-complétion (et c'est tant mieux) https://www.damyr.fr/posts/ia-ne-remplacera-pas-vos-lsp/ Article d'opinion d'un SRE (Thomas du podcast DansLaTech): L'IA n'est pas efficace pour la complétion de code : L'auteur soutient que l'utilisation de l'IA pour la complétion de code basique est inefficace. Des outils plus anciens et spécialisés comme les LSP (Language Server Protocol) combinés aux snippets (morceaux de code réutilisables) sont bien plus rapides, personnalisables et performants pour les tâches répétitives. L'IA comme un "collègue" autonome : L'auteur utilise l'IA (comme Claude) comme un assistant externe à son éditeur de code. Il lui délègue des tâches complexes ou fastidieuses (corriger des bugs, mettre à jour une configuration, faire des reviews de code) qu'il peut exécuter en parallèle, agissant comme un agent autonome. L'IA comme un "canard en caoutchouc" surpuissant : L'IA est extrêmement efficace pour le débogage. Le simple fait de devoir formuler et contextualiser un problème pour l'IA aide souvent à trouver la solution soi-même. Quand ce n'est pas le cas, l'IA identifie très rapidement les erreurs "bêtes" qui peuvent faire perdre beaucoup de temps. Un outil pour accélérer les POCs et l'apprentissage : L'IA permet de créer des "preuves de concept" (POC) et des scripts d'automatisation jetables très rapidement, réduisant le coût et le temps investis. Elle est également un excellent outil pour apprendre et approfondir des sujets, notamment avec des outils comme NotebookLM de Google qui peuvent générer des résumés, des quiz ou des fiches de révision à partir de sources. Conclusion : Il faut utiliser l'IA là où elle excelle et ne pas la forcer dans des usages où des outils existants sont meilleurs. Plutôt que de l'intégrer partout de manière contre-productive, il faut l'adopter comme un outil spécialisé pour des tâches précises afin de gagner en efficacité. GPT 5.2 est sorti https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-2/ Nouveau modèle phare: GPT‑5.2 (Instant, Thinking, Pro) vise le travail professionnel et les agents long-courriers, avec de gros gains en raisonnement, long contexte, vision et appel d'outils. Déploiement dans ChatGPT (plans payants) et disponible dès maintenant via l'API . SOTA sur de nombreux benchmarks: GDPval (tâches de "knowledge work" sur 44 métiers): GPT‑5.2 Thinking gagne/égale 70,9% vs pros, avec production >11× plus rapide et = 0) Ils apportent une sémantique forte indépendamment des noms de variables Les Value Objects sont immuables et s'évaluent sur leurs valeurs, pas leur identité Les records Java permettent de créer des Value Objects mais avec un surcoût en mémoire Le projet Valhalla introduira les value based classes pour optimiser ces structures Les identifiants fortement typés évitent de confondre différents IDs de type Long ou UUID Pattern Strongly Typed IDs: utiliser PersonneID au lieu de Long pour identifier une personne Le modèle de domaine riche s'oppose au modèle de domaine anémique Les Value Objects auto-documentent le code et le rendent moins sujet aux erreurs Je trouve cela interessant ce que pourra faire bousculer les Value Objects. Est-ce que les value objects ameneront de la légerté dans l'execution Eviter la lourdeur du design est toujours ce qui m'a fait peut dans ces approches Méthodologies Retour d'experience de vibe coder une appli week end avec co-pilot http://blog.sunix.org/articles/howto/2025/11/14/building-gift-card-app-with-github-copilot.html on a deja parlé des approches de vibe coding cette fois c'est l'experience de Sun Et un des points differents c'es qu'on lui parle en ouvrant des tickets et donc on eput faire re reveues de code et copilot y bosse et il a fini son projet ! User Need VS Product Need https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/11/10/user-need-vs-product-need/ un article de nos amis de chez Ippon Distinction entre besoin utilisateur et besoin produit dans le développement digital Le besoin utilisateur est souvent exprimé comme une solution concrète plutôt que le problème réel Le besoin produit émerge après analyse approfondie combinant observation, données et vision stratégique Exemple du livreur Marc qui demande un vélo plus léger alors que son vrai problème est l'efficacité logistique La méthode des 5 Pourquoi permet de remonter à la racine des problèmes Les besoins proviennent de trois sources: utilisateurs finaux, parties prenantes business et contraintes techniques Un vrai besoin crée de la valeur à la fois pour le client et l'entreprise Le Product Owner doit traduire les demandes en problèmes réels avant de concevoir des solutions Risque de construire des solutions techniquement élégantes mais qui manquent leur cible Le rôle du product management est de concilier des besoins parfois contradictoires en priorisant la valeur Est ce qu'un EM doit coder ? https://www.modernleader.is/p/should-ems-write-code Pas de réponse unique : La question de savoir si un "Engineering Manager" (EM) doit coder n'a pas de réponse universelle. Cela dépend fortement du contexte de l'entreprise, de la maturité de l'équipe et de la personnalité du manager. Les risques de coder : Pour un EM, écrire du code peut devenir une échappatoire pour éviter les aspects plus difficiles du management. Cela peut aussi le transformer en goulot d'étranglement pour l'équipe et nuire à l'autonomie de ses membres s'il prend trop de place. Les avantages quand c'est bien fait : Coder sur des tâches non essentielles (amélioration d'outils, prototypage, etc.) peut aider l'EM à rester pertinent techniquement, à garder le contact avec la réalité de l'équipe et à débloquer des situations sans prendre le lead sur les projets. Le principe directeur : La règle d'or est de rester en dehors du chemin critique. Le code écrit par un EM doit servir à créer de l'espace pour son équipe, et non à en prendre. La vraie question à se poser : Plutôt que "dois-je coder ?", un EM devrait se demander : "De quoi mon équipe a-t-elle besoin de ma part maintenant, et est-ce que coder va dans ce sens ou est-ce un obstacle ?" Sécurité React2Shell — Grosse faille de sécurité avec React et Next.js, avec un CVE de niveau 10 https://x.com/rauchg/status/1997362942929440937?s=20 aussi https://react2shell.com/ "React2Shell" est le nom donné à une vulnérabilité de sécurité de criticité maximale (score 10.0/10.0), identifiée par le code CVE-2025-55182. Systèmes Affectés : La faille concerne les applications utilisant les "React Server Components" (RSC) côté serveur, et plus particulièrement les versions non patchées du framework Next.js. Risque Principal : Le risque est le plus élevé possible : l'exécution de code à distance (RCE). Un attaquant peut envoyer une requête malveillante pour exécuter n'importe quelle commande sur le serveur, lui en donnant potentiellement le contrôle total. Cause Technique : La vulnérabilité se situe dans le protocole "React Flight" (utilisé pour la communication client-serveur). Elle est due à une omission de vérifications de sécurité fondamentales (hasOwnProperty), permettant à une entrée utilisateur malveillante de tromper le serveur. Mécanisme de l'Exploit : L'attaque consiste à envoyer une charge utile (payload) qui exploite la nature dynamique de JavaScript pour : Faire passer un objet malveillant pour un objet interne de React. Forcer React à traiter cet objet comme une opération asynchrone (Promise). Finalement, accéder au constructeur de la classe Function de JavaScript pour exécuter du code arbitraire. Action Impérative : La seule solution fiable est de mettre à jour immédiatement les dépendances de React et Next.js vers les versions corrigées. Ne pas attendre. Mesures Secondaires : Bien que les pare-feux (firewalls) puissent aider à bloquer les formes connues de l'attaque, ils sont considérés comme insuffisants et ne remplacent en aucun cas la mise à jour des paquets. Découverte : La faille a été découverte par le chercheur en sécurité Lachlan Davidson, qui l'a divulguée de manière responsable pour permettre la création de correctifs. Loi, société et organisation Google autorise votre employeur à lire tous vos SMS professionnels https://www.generation-nt.com/actualites/google-android-rcs-messages-surveillance-employeur-2067012 Nouvelle fonctionnalité de surveillance : Google a déployé une fonctionnalité appelée "Android RCS Archival" qui permet aux employeurs d'intercepter, lire et archiver tous les messages RCS (et SMS) envoyés depuis les téléphones professionnels Android gérés par l'entreprise. Contournement du chiffrement : Bien que les messages RCS soient chiffrés de bout en bout pendant leur transit, cette nouvelle API permet à des logiciels de conformité (installés par l'employeur) d'accéder aux messages une fois qu'ils sont déchiffrés sur l'appareil. Le chiffrement devient donc inefficace contre cette surveillance. Réponse à une exigence légale : Cette mesure a été mise en place pour répondre aux exigences réglementaires, notamment dans le secteur financier, où les entreprises ont l'obligation légale de conserver une archive de toutes les communications professionnelles pour des raisons de conformité. Impact pour les employés : Un employé utilisant un téléphone Android fourni et géré par son entreprise pourra voir ses communications surveillées.

This is the full conversation I had with Will Smith and Niklas James on the Acquiring Minds podcast in April of 2025. We broke down how I bought Somewhere.com, how I run my real estate private equity firm, and how I leverage offshore talent to scale revenue while saving costs. We discussed how I think about building teams, why sales is the foundation of all businesses, and why buying a company isn't a shortcut, it's a challenge most people aren't ready for.If you're thinking about buying a business, this episode will show you the side of acquisitions people rarely talk about. Big thanks to Will Smith for having me on, follow him here: https://x.com/whentheresawill Check out more of his work here: https://acquiringminds.co/episodes Also shoutout to Niklas James from Minds Capital for co-hosting this conversation with Will. https://x.com/NiklasWJ In the intro, I mentioned that you should check out this episode from Acquiring Minds that came out just before Thanksgiving, episode 407 with Linh Tran. He quit corporate, bought a small HVAC business, scaled it, and now makes over $5M a year with a CEO running it for him.

In this episode the hosts dive into a $4.5M, 12‑bed Los Angeles drug and alcohol rehab facility deal with $4M revenue and $1M SDE, unpacking utilization trends, regulatory risks (MSO/CPOM), and why it might not be a compelling acquisition as‑is.Business Listing – https://www.bizbuysell.com/business-opportunity/drug-and-alcohol-rehabilitation-facilities/2447669/Welcome to Acquisitions Anonymous – the #1 podcast for small business M&A.

This week, the gang kicks things off with LinkedIn's shiny new 100-million-strong verification army, because nothing says “I'm a real human” like flashing a blue badge that apparently gets you 60% more profile views and 50% more love on posts (fake LinkedIn influencers are sweating bullets right now). Then the trio dissects Findem's mysterious acquisition, wondering if it's a path to riches for job boards or a one-way ticket to obselescence for the agent phenomenon. Walmart sneaks in as the dark-horse employment hero, proving even the retail behemoth can out-innovate and outsmart the market while competitors are still trying to get their own employee engagement strategies from hallucinating. Additional fireworks come when Chad, J.T. and Joel tackle AI-generated content—specifically OpenAI's Sora. Joel wonders if we're about to drown in perfectly polished, soulless videos, JT argues creators can finally clone themselves (hello, 48-hour workdays!), and Chad just wants to know who's actually going to pay for all this sci-fi wizardry instead of, you know, real revenue. And, naturally, it wouldn't be Chad and Cheese without Chad recounting his house-selling saga like it's a Greek tragedy and Joel dropping holiday nostalgia bombs that somehow make like worth living again.

In this vAuto podcast, Mike O'Toole, used vehicle director at Mohawk Honda, and vAuto's Patrick Janes go in depth on the best practices and process steps that help Mohawk acquire and sell nearly 40 vehicles a month from their service drive. O'Toole shares how he and his team have evolved the service lane acquisition effort from a clipboard-based, one-off approach to a process where nearly every service customer gets an offer. Get guidance to help you shift from a hard-sell to “soft touch” approach to set the right tone with customers with vehicles you want to acquire; scale service lane acquisitions by using AI and automated tools to drive efficiency; develop a follow-up process that ensures you capture/close the majority of customers who need time to consider your offer and a potential next purchase; and establish process/performance expectations based on Mohawk's benchmarks.

PREVIEW — Andrea Stricker — Nuclear Safeguards Framework for Saudi Arabia's Reactor Acquisition. Strickeroutlines essential precautions and international safeguard mechanisms necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation resulting from Saudi Arabia's acquisition of advanced nuclear power plant technology and fuel cycle capabilities. Strickerrecommends permanent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguard protocols and comprehensive additional verification arrangements covering all present and future Saudi nuclear facilities, ensuring Riyadh cannot unilaterally eject IAEA inspectors or rescind international safeguard commitments if the Kingdom subsequently pursues uranium enrichment or nuclear fuel reprocessing activities for weapons development. Stricker emphasizes that binding safeguard protocols are essential to preventing Saudi acquisition of weapons-grade nuclear material and maintaining nonproliferation regime integrity in the Middle East.

This week, in Episode 273, David C. Barnett, Paul Downs, and Sarah Segal tackle health insurance, one of the least enjoyable issues business owners confront. It's renewal season, and the three owners are seeing different systems, different pressures, but similar frustrations. Paul tells us he's facing the largest premium increases he's seen since the Affordable Care Act—double-digit hikes that will cost him an extra $15,000 to $25,000 next year. Sarah hasn't received her numbers yet, but she's preparing for the worst. And David gives us a cross-border view from Canada, where universal coverage eliminates the pricing drama but introduces its own set of complications. It's a candid conversation about what's responsible, what's sustainable, and what business owners are supposed to do when the numbers don't leave good options. Plus: We also talk about what it takes to get a business ready to be sold. While BizBuySell recently reported that more owners are looking to get out—even if it means dropping their asking price—that's not exactly what David is seeing in the marketplace. “The truth is that small businesses sell for relatively low multiples of cash flow,” he says. “And so, the real benefit is not actually in the exit. It's in the owning.”

Episode Summary In this episode of Elevate Care, hosts Kerry Perez and Liz Cunningham dive deep into the evolving landscape of healthcare candidate acquisition and retention. Leveraging their extensive backgrounds in strategy, marketing, and technology, they explore how regulatory changes and the rise of Generative AI are reshaping how clinicians search for jobs and how organizations must adapt their digital marketing strategies. The conversation uncovers critical insights into the shifting balance between high-tech self-service adoption and the enduring value of high-touch human connection in the hiring process. They also challenge traditional notions of loyalty programs, proposing a "long tail" approach to clinician engagement that prioritizes consistent service and access over points-based rewards.
