Ever wondered why AI isn't the magic bullet for your messaging?  Most people jump into ChatGPT or Gemini expecting it will fix their copy, sales page, or launch strategy—only to find they're amplifying what's already broken.  I saw this firsthand when my daughter came home upset over a silly granola‐bar comment. Instead of a generic pep talk, I mirrored exactly how she felt—embarrassed, judged, stuck. In that moment she felt heard. That's relevancy. AI alone won't give you that.  Today on the podcast, I'm busting the "generalized AI trap" and showing you how to use AI to amplify gold—not scrap. Listen in and discover:  • Why your shiny new AI is just speeding up bad messaging  • The one mindset shift you must make before typing a single prompt  • How speaking with laser‐focused relevancy stops scrolls and sparks sales  • A 30-minute "Launch Messaging" system to churn out every email, script, and ad  • The three ways you can approach AI (and which one wins every time)  If you're done with faster "fail" content and ready for AI that actually moves the needle, this episode is for you.  Did you enjoy this episode?

Taylor Mullen, Principal Engineer at Google and creator of Gemini CLI, reveals how his team ships 100-150 features and bug fixes every week—using Gemini CLI to build itself. In this first in-depth interview about Gemini CLI's origin story, we explore why command-line AI agents are having a "terminal renaissance," how Taylor manages swarms of parallel AI agents, and the techniques (like the viral "Ralph Wiggum" method) that separate 10x engineers from 100x engineers. Whether you're a developer or AI-curious, you'll learn practical strategies for using AI coding tools more effectively.

Your sales team spends 70% of their time on admin work - not selling. Do the math: if your top AE makes $120K and only spends 30% of their time on revenue activities, you're paying $84,000 for data entry and CRM updates. That's the Admin Drag tax killing your pipeline velocity in 2026. But here's the real problem: you bought AI six months ago (Gemini, ChatGPT, Einstein), rolled it out with a 45-minute webinar, and… crickets. Adoption is at 14%. Your VP is asking what you're paying for. This isn't a technology problem. It's a leadership problem. You installed software when you needed to redesign the workflow. In this episode, Mike Allton (Director of Partner-Led Growth at Agorapulse) deconstructs the 95% AI pilot failure rate and shows you exactly what Revenue Architecture looks like in practice. You'll discover: • The real cost of manual meeting prep (90 minutes vs. 8 minutes with Gemini's Scheduler)• How to build a "Digital Crew" that automates research, briefing docs, and objection prep• Why Gemini's 2 million token context window changes everything for sales intelligence• The 3-day audit that reveals where your team is hemorrhaging time• How to move from "Human-in-the-Loop" to "Human-on-the-Loop" automation Stop installing tools your team won't use. Start architecting workflows that reclaim 25-30 hours per rep, per week.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle. SUMMARY OF THE ALICIA LYTTLE INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald [ 1. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview was to: Showcase Alicia Lyttle, CEO and co‑founder of Air Innovations, known widely as the “Queen of AI.” [ Educate small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits on how to leverage AI for growth. Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT. Alicia also shares her origin story in AI, beginning with a 15‑year‑old speaker at Walmart Tech Live describing IBM Watson. This sparked her fascination and ultimately led her to pivot her entire company toward full-time AI training and consulting by 2022—despite skepticism from her peers. She details the massive growth of her brand, including 21,000+ live summit attendees and explosive social media expansion. The interview also addresses AI’s role in finance, healthcare, government, job disruption, and how individuals can future‑proof themselves. Her personal story of overcoming a restrictive ex-husband who told her she would “never speak again” underscores her powerful message: no one should silence your gifts. Now she speaks to thousands, leads major events, and helps others build new careers in AI. 3. Key Takeaways A.

Her approach eliminates fear and teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI immediately. C. Accessibility Has Changed the Game The release of ChatGPT, especially the free version, democratized AI. Before that, tools like IBM Watson were too complex and expensive. Now anyone with a laptop and internet connection can build websites, write content, or automate business flows in minutes. [ D. The African American Community Must Lead—Not Follow Alicia emphasizes that historically, Black communities have been “last in line” in tech innovation, but this AI era presents a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to jump ahead.She sees it as her mission to speak everywhere Black entrepreneurs are to ensure they seize this moment. E. AI Will Replace Tasks—But People Can Future‑Proof Themselves Jobs are already shifting. Companies are laying off non–AI‑literate employees.Alicia urges people to: Become AI‑fluent Join AI committees at work Pursue certification Use AI to become their company’s internal expert “There’s no maybe—you have to learn AI,” she warns. F. AI is Transforming Every Sector: Finance, Healthcare, Government She provides insights on… AI receptionists (“Monica” and “Leslie”) that boost customer interaction to 92% Financial analysis using secure ChatGPT setups AI mental health companions Government calls for national AI leadership G. Alicia Monetizes Through Education, Certification & Consulting Her business model includes: Free monthly summits Paid masterclasses Corporate consulting AI certifications Live Atlanta workshops She teaches others to become AI consultants too. H. Her Personal Triumph Story Inspires Thousands A powerful moment is when she recounts her ex-husband saying: “There’s only one quarterback on a team—and you will never speak again.”Yet today, 1,200+ people attend her live events, and tens of thousands join her virtual trainings. Her success proves resilience and purpose overcome adversity. 4. Key Quotes On AI Opportunity “Never has there been a better time in history to start, build, or scale a business than right now.” On Training Entrepreneurs “Open your laptops… use the same prompt I use. See what results you get.” On the Power of AI Tools “You can take one episode and repurpose it into all these different content ways.” On Pivoting Her Entire Company “In 2022, I said we’re closing this business and going all in on AI.” On Being Black in Tech “My mission is to make sure our community is not left behind—but ahead of the curve.” On Personal Resilience “You will be speaking on the best stages… people will come to see you.”(A friend’s response after she was told she’d “never speak again.”) On Future-Proofing Careers “Those using AI will replace you. You have to learn how to leverage AI.” On AI as a Human-First Technology “AI plus human intelligence—that’s what takes things to the next level.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You get a firehose of genuinely useful Apple tips this week, starting with new muscle-memory moves you'll actually use: cycling app windows with Cmd + `, nodding or shaking to answer AirPods, dragging apps straight from iOS search, and building Focus-specific home screens so the right icons appear at the right time. Edge Light turns your Mac into a cleaner on‑camera rig, Display Buddy tames external monitor brightness, and custom macOS keyboard shortcuts plus Dock CPU meters give you fast, surgical control over your Mac. Then you level up your living room: master the Apple TV remote's scrub wheel, undo accidental scrubs, jump in precise increments, push video from iPhone to Apple TV, and fling audio to HomePod with a tap. Even Reminders gets a glow‑up so you can punt a pile of alerts in one shot instead of playing whack‑a‑mole. From there, you zoom out to “meta” geekery: backing up critical Notes (or moving to OneNote, Ulysses, or Obsidian), even flirting with a git repo to sync prefs and personal data like a developer. On the road, you learn how to keep CarPlay tappable with gloves, and in the cloud you explore why chatbots forget context, when to bring in tools like Claude, Perplexity's Comet, Atlas, Gemini, or Claude's Chrome extension, and how having an always‑on troubleshooting assistant changes how you work. Listener reviews cap it off by framing the show as a kind of PhD in troubleshooting, all so you can experiment, push your tech harder, and, of course, don't get caught.​ 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1129 for Monday, February 16th, 2026 February 16th: Innovation Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a Copilot Money!

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle. SUMMARY OF THE ALICIA LYTTLE INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald [ 1. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview was to: Showcase Alicia Lyttle, CEO and co‑founder of Air Innovations, known widely as the “Queen of AI.” [ Educate small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits on how to leverage AI for growth. Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT. Alicia also shares her origin story in AI, beginning with a 15‑year‑old speaker at Walmart Tech Live describing IBM Watson. This sparked her fascination and ultimately led her to pivot her entire company toward full-time AI training and consulting by 2022—despite skepticism from her peers. She details the massive growth of her brand, including 21,000+ live summit attendees and explosive social media expansion. The interview also addresses AI’s role in finance, healthcare, government, job disruption, and how individuals can future‑proof themselves. Her personal story of overcoming a restrictive ex-husband who told her she would “never speak again” underscores her powerful message: no one should silence your gifts. Now she speaks to thousands, leads major events, and helps others build new careers in AI. 3. Key Takeaways A. AI Is Evolving Fast—and So Must We AI is changing so quickly that entrepreneurs cannot afford to wait for annual updates. This is why Alicia shifted to monthly training summits. People need ongoing education to stay competitive. B. Hands‑On AI Education Is the Key Alicia doesn’t just lecture—she walks participants through real demonstrations: Uploading YouTube links Creating summaries Generating emails, mind maps, PowerPoints, quizzes, videos, and more…all from a single input. Her approach eliminates fear and teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI immediately. C. Accessibility Has Changed the Game The release of ChatGPT, especially the free version, democratized AI. Before that, tools like IBM Watson were too complex and expensive. Now anyone with a laptop and internet connection can build websites, write content, or automate business flows in minutes. [ D. The African American Community Must Lead—Not Follow Alicia emphasizes that historically, Black communities have been “last in line” in tech innovation, but this AI era presents a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to jump ahead.She sees it as her mission to speak everywhere Black entrepreneurs are to ensure they seize this moment. E. AI Will Replace Tasks—But People Can Future‑Proof Themselves Jobs are already shifting. Companies are laying off non–AI‑literate employees.Alicia urges people to: Become AI‑fluent Join AI committees at work Pursue certification Use AI to become their company’s internal expert “There’s no maybe—you have to learn AI,” she warns. F. AI is Transforming Every Sector: Finance, Healthcare, Government She provides insights on… AI receptionists (“Monica” and “Leslie”) that boost customer interaction to 92% Financial analysis using secure ChatGPT setups AI mental health companions Government calls for national AI leadership G. Alicia Monetizes Through Education, Certification & Consulting Her business model includes: Free monthly summits Paid masterclasses Corporate consulting AI certifications Live Atlanta workshops She teaches others to become AI consultants too. H. Her Personal Triumph Story Inspires Thousands A powerful moment is when she recounts her ex-husband saying: “There’s only one quarterback on a team—and you will never speak again.”Yet today, 1,200+ people attend her live events, and tens of thousands join her virtual trainings. Her success proves resilience and purpose overcome adversity. 4. Key Quotes On AI Opportunity “Never has there been a better time in history to start, build, or scale a business than right now.” On Training Entrepreneurs “Open your laptops… use the same prompt I use. See what results you get.” On the Power of AI Tools “You can take one episode and repurpose it into all these different content ways.” On Pivoting Her Entire Company “In 2022, I said we’re closing this business and going all in on AI.” On Being Black in Tech “My mission is to make sure our community is not left behind—but ahead of the curve.” On Personal Resilience “You will be speaking on the best stages… people will come to see you.”(A friend’s response after she was told she’d “never speak again.”) On Future-Proofing Careers “Those using AI will replace you. You have to learn how to leverage AI.” On AI as a Human-First Technology “AI plus human intelligence—that’s what takes things to the next level.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maximize Your Reach: The Power of Repurposing ContentIn this episode, Scott Carson breaks down the "Rinse and Repeat" method, a marketing strategy used by global giants like McDonald's to stay top-of-mind with their audience. Many investors make the mistake of "one and done" marketing—posting a video or sending a letter once and giving up when they don't see immediate results. Scott argues that to truly scale a real estate or note investing business, you must embrace remarketing your content, pitch decks, and case studies to ensure you are seen by more than just the small percentage of followers reached by initial algorithms. By leveraging modern AI tools and strategic scheduling, you can turn a single piece of high-quality content into a continuous lead-generation machine.Key Topics Covered:The McDonald's Marketing Model: Scott explains how major brands run the same 30-second ad thousands of times a week to build brand recognition, contrasting this with the typical investor's "one and done" approach.The 15-Minute Pitch Deck: Learn why a concise, fifteen-minute pitch deck is your most powerful tool for raising capital and how to effectively "chum the water" to attract private investors.AI-Enhanced Repurposing: Discover how to use tools like Gemini to transform one video transcript into multiple SEO-rich blogs, descriptions, and social media posts, making AI think you have more content than you actually do.Strategic Scheduling and Re-streaming: Scott shares his personal workflow for using tools like Restream and Buffer to broadcast live content multiple times and rotate infographics daily to maintain a consistent presence.Leveraging YouTube Analytics: Insights into using your channel's "Audience" data to determine the optimal times for uploading and live-streaming to maximize engagement and algorithm favor.Success in raising capital and closing deals isn't just about creating content; it's about making sure that content is seen repeatedly by your target audience. Most sales are made after the fifth contact, yet most investors stop after the first. By applying the rinse and repeat method—tweaking titles, updating thumbnails, and rescheduling your best assets—you can build the credibility and recognition needed to dominate your local market. As Scott says, don't let your hard work fall on deaf ears; take action, use the tools available, and see you at the top.Watch the Original Video of this Episode HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

Jonathan Mast (the White Beard AI Guy) breaks down how video professionals can use AI to handle the administrative grunt work that's eating up their time—without sacrificing quality or creativity. He shares his proven strategies for creating consistent content, automating client onboarding, and using AI as a creative partner instead of a replacement. If you've been overwhelmed by AI or skeptical about how it fits into your business, this conversation will change your perspective. Key Takeaways Start with operations, not creativity – Use AI to handle scheduling, client communications, and admin tasks before trying to use it for creative work. These "boring" tasks are where you'll see immediate time savings. The Q&A content strategy – Record simple videos answering common client questions. You already know the answers, so there's no need for scripts or elaborate setups. Batch record them in an hour and you've got weeks of content. AI as your creative partner – Think of AI tools as amplifiers of your creativity, not replacements. Let them handle the tedious parts of editing, graphics, and client onboarding so you can focus on what you do best. Don't chase every new tool – Check in every 60-90 days on what's new in AI for video, but don't jump on every shiny object. Focus on tools that integrate with what you're already using. About Jonathan Mast Jonathan Mast stands at the forefront of AI prompting mastery, empowering businesses and entrepreneurs to leverage artificial intelligence for measurable growth. Since 1995, he has blended marketing expertise with cutting-edge technology, and over the past few years has emerged as a leading authority on practical AI implementation.

The Exorcist III (1990) kicks off our Devils & Dicks triple feature! We dive into William Peter Blatty's underrated horror sequel that trades demonic possession for police procedural tension - well, mostly. Lieutenant Kinderman (George C. Scott) investigates a series of brutal murders that match the M.O. of the Gemini Killer, who died in the electric chair 15 years ago. His investigation leads him to a psychiatric ward and a mysterious patient who claims to be both the Gemini Killer and Father Damien Karras. What We Cover:Director's Cut vs. Theatrical Cut: The battle between Blatty's vision and studio interference.Brad Dourif's bone-chilling performance and how he almost lost the role to Jason Miller.THAT jump scare—the famous Nurse Keating hallway scene that's considered one of horror's best.Why the forced exorcism ending works (or doesn't).The confusing K-name pattern and what it means.George C. Scott's intensity and whether he should've been kinder, man.Celebrity cameos you probably missed (Samuel L. Jackson! Patrick Ewing! Larry King!).The dream sequence with Fabio and whether it's too much.The Debate:Is The Exorcist III better than the original?  We discuss why this film's dreadful tone and procedural approach might actually make it superior, even if it doesn't have the cultural impact of Friedkin's classic. Behind the Scenes Drama:We unpack the production chaos—how Jason Miller's health issues led to Brad Dourif's casting (then recasting), why Father Morning was added for the theatrical cut, and whether the director's cut ending would've been more powerful. Eight Official Reveals:From Father Kanavan's confessional booth murder to Mrs. Clelia crawling on the ceiling, we rank all eight monster introductions and pick our favorites.Next Time:We continue Devils & Dicks with Se7en (1995) - David Fincher's masterpiece of detective horror!

This week's Supply Chain Secrets is jam-packed. Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver dig into sharp post–Chinese New Year moves: loaded spot rates falling faster than expected, spreads tightening across Pacific trades, and what that means for market certainty. We unpack carrier results, network changes from Ocean Alliance's “Day 10,” and real operational risk in the Red Sea return.The headline story: Hapag-Lloyd's agreement to acquire most of ZIM's fleet: what it means for Gemini, MSC, and competitive dynamics in the Transpacific and beyond. Lars breaks down why the deal matters strategically (fleet composition, charter vs. owned tonnage, and network implications), and why shippers, NVOCCs and carriers should be watching service reshuffles closely this contract season.If you want data-forward insight into where rates are actually moving, how to read market spreads (not just headlines), and what consolidation means for your routing and negotiation strategy — press play.

Join Alex and film studies professor Daniel Kieckhefer as they explore the deeper meaning in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Vertigo (1958). The film stars James Stewart as a boyish former SFPD detective, haunted by a near-death experience that leaves him with extreme vertigo. He's called on as a private detective to investigate a woman, played by Kim Novak, who is seemingly possessed by a dead relative. This paper-thin mystery (as the critics at the time called it) is not what Hitchcock wanted audiences to pay attention to, however; as Daniel explains, this is classic Freudian Oedipal complex. The duo explore the explanation from a historical lens, both from a filmmaking and a clinical psychology perspective. It's pretty clear that obsession is the concept to focus on, but its really what the true object of that obsession that is up for debate! There was agreement that Stewart played a really creepy dude and in no way was he the good guy of this story.

Emmanuel et Guillaume discutent de divers sujets liés à la programmation, notamment les systèmes de fichiers en Java, le Data Oriented Programming, les défis de JPA avec Kotlin, et les nouvelles fonctionnalités de Quarkus. Ils explorent également des sujets un peu fous comme la création de datacenters dans l'espace. Pas mal d'architecture aussi.

News Langages Comment implémenter un file system en Java https://foojay.io/today/bootstrapping-a-java-file-system/ Créer un système de fichiers Java personnalisé avec NIO.2 pour des usages variés (VCS, archives, systèmes distants). Évolution Java: java.io.File (1.0) -> NIO (1.4) -> NIO.2 (1.7) pour personnalisation via FileSystem. Recommander conception préalable; API Java est orientée POSIX. Composants clés à considérer: Conception URI (scheme unique, chemin). Gestion de l'arborescence (BD, métadonnées, efficacité). Stockage binaire (emplacement, chiffrement, versions). Minimum pour démarrer (4 composants): Implémenter Path (représente fichier/répertoire). Étendre FileSystem (instance du système). Étendre FileSystemProvider (moteur, enregistré par scheme). Enregistrer FileSystemProvider via META-INF/services. Étapes suivantes: Couche BD (arborescence), opérations répertoire/fichier de base, stockage, tests. Processus long et exigeant, mais gratifiant.   Un article de brian goetz sur le futur du data oriented programming en Java https://openjdk.org/projects/amber/design-notes/beyond-records Le projet Amber de Java introduit les "carrier classes", une évolution des records qui permet plus de flexibilité tout en gardant les avantages du pattern matching et de la reconstruction Les records imposent des contraintes strictes (immutabilité, représentation exacte de l'état) qui limitent leur usage pour des classes avec état muable ou dérivé Les carrier classes permettent de déclarer une state description complète et canonique sans imposer que la représentation interne corresponde exactement à l'API publique Le modificateur "component" sur les champs permet au compilateur de dériver automatiquement les accesseurs pour les composants alignés avec la state description Les compact constructors sont généralisés aux carrier classes, générant automatiquement l'initialisation des component fields Les carrier classes supportent la déconstruction via pattern matching comme les records, rendant possible leur usage dans les instanceof et switch Les carrier interfaces permettent de définir une state description sur une interface, obligeant les implémentations à fournir les accesseurs correspondants L'extension entre carrier classes est possible, avec dérivation automatique des appels super() quand les composants parent sont subsumés par l'enfant Les records deviennent un cas particulier de carrier classes avec des contraintes supplémentaires (final, extends Record, component fields privés et finaux obligatoires) L'évolution compatible des records est améliorée en permettant l'ajout de composants en fin de liste et la déconstruction partielle par préfixe Comment éviter les pièges courants avec JPA et Kotlin - https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/01/how-to-avoid-common-pitfalls-with-jpa-and-kotlin/ JPA est une spécification Java pour la persistance objet-relationnel, mais son utilisation avec Kotlin présente des incompatibilités dues aux différences de conception des deux langages Les classes Kotlin sont finales par défaut, ce qui empêche la création de proxies par JPA pour le lazy loading et les opérations transactionnelles Le plugin kotlin-jpa génère automatiquement des constructeurs sans argument et rend les classes open, résolvant les problèmes de compatibilité Les data classes Kotlin ne sont pas adaptées aux entités JPA car elles génèrent equals/hashCode basés sur tous les champs, causant des problèmes avec les relations lazy L'utilisation de lateinit var pour les relations peut provoquer des exceptions si on accède aux propriétés avant leur initialisation par JPA Les types non-nullables Kotlin peuvent entrer en conflit avec le comportement de JPA qui initialise les entités avec des valeurs null temporaires Le backing field direct dans les getters/setters personnalisés peut contourner la logique de JPA et casser le lazy loading IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3 introduit des inspections pour détecter automatiquement ces problèmes et propose des quick-fixes L'IDE détecte les entités finales, les data classes inappropriées, les problèmes de constructeurs et l'usage incorrect de lateinit Ces nouvelles fonctionnalités aident les développeurs à éviter les bugs subtils liés à l'utilisation de JPA avec Kotlin Librairies Guide sur MapStruct @IterableMapping - https://www.baeldung.com/java-mapstruct-iterablemapping MapStruct est une bibliothèque Java pour générer automatiquement des mappers entre beans, l'annotation @IterableMapping permet de configurer finement le mapping de collections L'attribut dateFormat permet de formater automatiquement des dates lors du mapping de listes sans écrire de boucle manuelle L'attribut qualifiedByName permet de spécifier quelle méthode custom appliquer sur chaque élément de la collection à mapper Exemple d'usage : filtrer des données sensibles comme des mots de passe en mappant uniquement certains champs via une méthode dédiée L'attribut nullValueMappingStrategy permet de contrôler le comportement quand la collection source est null (retourner null ou une collection vide) L'annotation fonctionne pour tous types de collections Java (List, Set, etc.) et génère le code de boucle nécessaire Possibilité d'appliquer des formats numériques avec numberFormat pour convertir des nombres en chaînes avec un format spécifique MapStruct génère l'implémentation complète du mapper au moment de la compilation, éliminant le code boilerplate L'annotation peut être combinée avec @Named pour créer des méthodes de mapping réutilisables et nommées Le mapping des collections supporte les conversions de types complexes au-delà des simples conversions de types primitifs Accès aux fichiers Samba depuis Java avec JCIFS - https://www.baeldung.com/java-samba-jcifs JCIFS est une bibliothèque Java permettant d'accéder aux partages Samba/SMB sans monter de lecteur réseau, supportant le protocole SMB3 on pense aux galériens qui doivent se connecter aux systèmes dit legacy La configuration nécessite un contexte CIFS (CIFSContext) et des objets SmbFile pour représenter les ressources distantes L'authentification se fait via NtlmPasswordAuthenticator avec domaine, nom d'utilisateur et mot de passe La bibliothèque permet de lister les fichiers et dossiers avec listFiles() et vérifier leurs propriétés (taille, date de modification) Création de fichiers avec createNewFile() et de dossiers avec mkdir() ou mkdirs() pour créer toute une arborescence Suppression via delete() qui peut parcourir et supprimer récursivement des arborescences entières Copie de fichiers entre partages Samba avec copyTo(), mais impossibilité de copier depuis le système de fichiers local Pour copier depuis le système local, utilisation des streams SmbFileInputStream et SmbFileOutputStream Les opérations peuvent cibler différents serveurs Samba et différents partages (anonymes ou protégés par mot de passe) La bibliothèque s'intègre dans des blocs try-with-resources pour une gestion automatique des ressources Quarkus 3.31 - Support complet Java 25, nouveau packaging Maven et Panache Next - https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-31-released/ Support complet de Java 25 avec images runtime et native Nouveau packaging Maven de type quarkus avec lifecycle optimisé pour des builds plus rapides voici un article complet pour plus de detail https://quarkus.io/blog/building-large-applications/ Introduction de Panache Next, nouvelle génération avec meilleure expérience développeur et API unifiée ORM/Reactive Mise à jour vers Hibernate ORM 7.2, Reactive 3.2, Search 8.2 Support de Hibernate Spatial pour les données géospatiales Passage à Testcontainers 2 et JUnit 6 Annotations de sécurité supportées sur les repositories Jakarta Data Chiffrement des tokens OIDC pour les implémentations custom TokenStateManager Support OAuth 2.0 Pushed Authorization Requests dans l'extension OIDC Maven 3.9 maintenant requis minimum pour les projets Quarkus A2A Java SDK 1.0.0.Alpha1 - Alignement avec la spécification 1.0 du protocole Agent2Agent - https://quarkus.io/blog/a2a-java-sdk-1-0-0-alpha1/ Le SDK Java A2A implémente le protocole Agent2Agent qui permet la communication standardisée entre agents IA pour découvrir des capacités, déléguer des tâches et collaborer Passage à la version 1.0 de la spécification marque la transition d'expérimental à production-ready avec des changements cassants assumés Modernisation complète du module spec avec des Java records partout remplaçant le mix précédent de classes et records pour plus de cohérence Adoption de Protocol Buffers comme source de vérité avec des mappers MapStruct pour la conversion et Gson pour JSON-RPC Les builders utilisent maintenant des méthodes factory statiques au lieu de constructeurs publics suivant les best practices Java modernes Introduction de trois BOMs Maven pour simplifier la gestion des dépendances du SDK core, des extensions et des implémentations de référence Quarkus AgentCard évolue avec une liste supportedInterfaces remplaçant url et preferredTransport pour plus de flexibilité dans la déclaration des protocoles Support de la pagination ajouté pour ListTasks et les endpoints de configuration des notifications push avec des wrappers Result appropriés Interface A2AHttpClient pluggable permettant des implémentations HTTP personnalisées avec une implémentation Vert.x fournie Travail continu vers la conformité complète avec le TCK 1.0 en cours de développement parallèlement à la finalisation de la spécification Pourquoi Quarkus finit par "cliquer" : les 10 questions que se posent les développeurs Java - https://www.the-main-thread.com/p/quarkus-java-developers-top-questions-2025 un article qui revele et repond aux questions des gens qui ont utilisé Quarkus depuis 4-6 mois, les non noob questions Quarkus est un framework Java moderne optimisé pour le cloud qui propose des temps de démarrage ultra-rapides et une empreinte mémoire réduite Pourquoi Quarkus démarre si vite ? Le framework effectue le travail lourd au moment du build (scanning, indexation, génération de bytecode) plutôt qu'au runtime Quand utiliser le mode réactif plutôt qu'impératif ? Le réactif est pertinent pour les workloads avec haute concurrence et dominance I/O, l'impératif reste plus simple dans les autres cas Quelle est la différence entre Dev Services et Testcontainers ? Dev Services utilise Testcontainers en gérant automatiquement le cycle de vie, les ports et la configuration sans cérémonie Comment la DI de Quarkus diffère de Spring ? CDI est un standard basé sur la sécurité des types et la découverte au build-time, différent de l'approche framework de Spring Comment gérer la configuration entre environnements ? Quarkus permet de scaler depuis le développement local jusqu'à Kubernetes avec des profils, fichiers multiples et configuration externe Comment tester correctement les applications Quarkus ? @QuarkusTest démarre l'application une fois pour toute la suite de tests, changeant le modèle mental par rapport à Spring Boot Que fait vraiment Panache en coulisses ? Panache est du JPA avec des opinions fortes et des défauts propres, enveloppant Hibernate avec un style Active Record Doit-on utiliser les images natives et quand ? Les images natives brillent pour le serverless et l'edge grâce au démarrage rapide et la faible empreinte mémoire, mais tous les apps n'en bénéficient pas Comment Quarkus s'intègre avec Kubernetes ? Le framework génère automatiquement les ressources Kubernetes, gère les health checks et métriques comme s'il était nativement conçu pour cet écosystème Comment intégrer l'IA dans une application Quarkus ? LangChain4j permet d'ajouter embeddings, retrieval, guardrails et observabilité directement en Java sans passer par Python Infrastructure Les alternatives à MinIO https://rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alternatives-to-minio-for-single-node-local-s3/ MinIO a abandonné le support single-node fin 2025 pour des raisons commerciales, cassant de nombreuses démos et pipelines CI/CD qui l'utilisaient pour émuler S3 localement L'auteur cherche un remplacement simple avec image Docker, compatibilité S3, licence open source, déploiement mono-nœud facile et communauté active S3Proxy est très léger et facile à configurer, semble être l'option la plus simple mais repose sur un seul contributeur RustFS est facile à utiliser et inclut une GUI, mais c'est un projet très récent en version alpha avec une faille de sécurité majeure récente SeaweedFS existe depuis 2012 avec support S3 depuis 2018, relativement facile à configurer et dispose d'une interface web basique Zenko CloudServer remplace facilement MinIO mais la documentation et le branding (cloudserver/zenko/scality) peuvent prêter à confusion Garage nécessite une configuration complexe avec fichier TOML et conteneur d'initialisation séparé, pas un simple remplacement drop-in Apache Ozone requiert au minimum quatre nœuds pour fonctionner, beaucoup trop lourd pour un usage local simple L'auteur recommande SeaweedFS et S3Proxy comme remplaçants viables, RustFS en maybe, et élimine Garage et Ozone pour leur complexité Garage a une histoire tres associative, il vient du collectif https://deuxfleurs.fr/ qui offre un cloud distribué sans datacenter C'est certainement pas une bonne idée, les datacenters dans l'espace https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/ Avis d'expert (ex-NASA/Google, Dr en électronique spatiale) : Centres de données spatiaux, une "terrible" idée. Incompatibilité fondamentale : L'électronique (surtout IA/GPU) est inadaptée à l'environnement spatial. Énergie : Accès limité. Le solaire (type ISS) est insuffisant pour l'échelle de l'IA. Le nucléaire (RTG) est trop faible. Refroidissement : L'espace n'est pas "froid" ; absence de convection. Nécessite des radiateurs gigantesques (ex: 531m² pour 200kW). Radiations : Provoque erreurs (SEU, SEL) et dommages. Les GPU sont très vulnérables. Blindage lourd et inefficace. Les puces "durcies" sont très lentes. Communications : Bande passante très limitée (1Gbps radio vs 100Gbps terrestre). Le laser est tributaire des conditions atmosphériques. Conclusion : Projet extrêmement difficile, coûteux et aux performances médiocres. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Guillaume a développé un serveur MCP pour arXiv (le site de publication de papiers de recherche) en Java avec le framework Quarkus https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/01/18/implementing-an-arxiv-mcp-server-with-quarkus-in-java/ Implémentation d'un serveur MCP (Model Context Protocol) arXiv en Java avec Quarkus. Objectif : Accéder aux publications arXiv et illustrer les fonctionnalités moins connues du protocole MCP. Mise en œuvre : Utilisation du framework Quarkus (Java) et son support MCP étendu. Assistance par Antigravity (IDE agentique) pour le développement et l'intégration de l'API arXiv. Interaction avec l'API arXiv : requêtes HTTP, format XML Atom pour les résultats, parser XML Jackson. Fonctionnalités MCP exposées : Outils (@Tool) : Recherche de publications (search_papers). Ressources (@Resource, @ResourceTemplate) : Taxonomie des catégories arXiv, métadonnées des articles (via un template d'URI). Prompts (@Prompt) : Exemples pour résumer des articles ou construire des requêtes de recherche. Configuration : Le serveur peut fonctionner en STDIO (local) ou via HTTP Streamable (local ou distant), avec une configuration simple dans des clients comme Gemini CLI. Conclusion : Quarkus simplifie la création de serveurs MCP riches en fonctionnalités, rendant les données et services "prêts pour l'IA" avec l'aide d'outils d'IA comme Antigravity. Anthropic ne mettra pas de pub dans Claude https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-is-a-space-to-think c'est en reaction au plan non public d'OpenAi de mettre de la pub pour pousser les gens au mode payant OpenAI a besoin de cash et est probablement le plus utilisé pour gratuit au monde Anthropic annonce que Claude restera sans publicité pour préserver son rôle d'assistant conversationnel dédié au travail et à la réflexion approfondie. Les conversations avec Claude sont souvent sensibles, personnelles ou impliquent des tâches complexes d'ingénierie logicielle où les publicités seraient inappropriées. L'analyse des conversations montre qu'une part significative aborde des sujets délicats similaires à ceux évoqués avec un conseiller de confiance. Un modèle publicitaire créerait des incitations contradictoires avec le principe fondamental d'être "genuinely helpful" inscrit dans la Constitution de Claude. Les publicités introduiraient un conflit d'intérêt potentiel où les recommandations pourraient être influencées par des motivations commerciales plutôt que par l'intérêt de l'utilisateur. Le modèle économique d'Anthropic repose sur les contrats entreprise et les abonnements payants, permettant de réinvestir dans l'amélioration de Claude. Anthropic maintient l'accès gratuit avec des modèles de pointe et propose des tarifs réduits pour les ONG et l'éducation dans plus de 60 pays. Le commerce "agentique" sera supporté mais uniquement à l'initiative de l'utilisateur, jamais des annonceurs, pour préserver la confiance. Les intégrations tierces comme Figma, Asana ou Canva continueront d'être développées en gardant l'utilisateur aux commandes. Anthropic compare Claude à un cahier ou un tableau blanc : des espaces de pensée purs, sans publicité. Infinispan 16.1 est sorti https://infinispan.org/blog/2026/02/04/infinispan-16-1 déjà le nom de la release mérite une mention Le memory bounded par cache et par ensemble de cache s est pas facile à faire en Java Une nouvelle api OpenAPI AOT caché dans les images container Un serveur MCP local juste avec un fichier Java ? C'est possible avec LangChain4j et JBang https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/11/zero-boilerplate-java-stdio-mcp-servers-with-langchain4j-and-jbang/ Création rapide de serveurs MCP Java sans boilerplate. MCP (Model Context Protocol): standard pour connecter les LLM à des outils et données. Le tutoriel répond au manque d'options simples pour les développeurs Java, face à une prédominance de Python/TypeScript dans l'écosystème MCP. La solution utilise: LangChain4j: qui intègre un nouveau module serveur MCP pour le protocole STDIO. JBang: permet d'exécuter des fichiers Java comme des scripts, éliminant les fichiers de build (pom.xml, Gradle). Implémentation: se fait via un seul fichier .java. JBang gère automatiquement les dépendances (//DEPS). L'annotation @Tool de LangChain4j expose les méthodes Java aux LLM. StdioMcpServerTransport gère la communication JSON-RPC via l'entrée/sortie standard (STDIO). Point crucial: Les logs doivent impérativement être redirigés vers System.err pour éviter de corrompre System.out, qui est réservé à la communication MCP (messages JSON-RPC). Facilite l'intégration locale avec des outils comme Gemini CLI, Claude Code, etc. Reciprocal Rank Fusion : un algorithme utile et souvent utilisé pour faire de la recherche hybride, pour mélanger du RAG et des recherches par mots-clé https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/10/advanced-rag-understanding-reciprocal-rank-fusion-in-hybrid-search/ RAG : Qualité LLM dépend de la récupération. Recherche Hybride : Combiner vectoriel et mots-clés (BM25) est optimal. Défi : Fusionner des scores d'échelles différentes. Solution : Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). RRF : Algorithme robuste qui fusionne des listes de résultats en se basant uniquement sur le rang des documents, ignorant les scores. Avantages RRF : Pas de normalisation de scores, scalable, excellente première étape de réorganisation. Architecture RAG fréquente : RRF (large sélection) + Cross-Encoder / modèle de reranking (précision fine). RAG-Fusion : Utilise un LLM pour générer plusieurs variantes de requête, puis RRF agrège tous les résultats pour renforcer le consensus et réduire les hallucinations. Implémentation : LangChain4j utilise RRF par défaut pour agréger les résultats de plusieurs retrievers. Les dernières fonctionnalités de Gemini et Nano Banana supportées dans LangChain4j https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/06/latest-gemini-and-nano-banana-enhancements-in-langchain4j/ Nouveaux modèles d'images Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5/3.0) pour génération et édition (jusqu'à 4K). "Grounding" via Google Search (pour images et texte) et Google Maps (localisation, Gemini 2.5). Outil de contexte URL (Gemini 3.0) pour lecture directe de pages web. Agents multimodaux (AiServices) capables de générer des images. Configuration de la réflexion (profondeur Chain-of-Thought) pour Gemini 3.0. Métadonnées enrichies : usage des tokens et détails des sources de "grounding". Comment configurer Gemini CLI comment agent de code dans IntelliJ grâce au protocole ACP https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/01/how-to-integrate-gemini-cli-with-intellij-idea-using-acp/ But : Intégrer Gemini CLI à IntelliJ IDEA via l'Agent Client Protocol (ACP). Prérequis : IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3+, Node.js (v20+), Gemini CLI. Étapes : Installer Gemini CLI (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli). Localiser l'exécutable gemini. Configurer ~/.jetbrains/acp.json (chemin exécutable, --experimental-acp, use_idea_mcp: true). Redémarrer IDEA, sélectionner "Gemini CLI" dans l'Assistant IA. Usage : Gemini interagit avec le code et exécute des commandes (contexte projet). Important : S'assurer du flag --experimental-acp dans la configuration. Outillage PipeNet, une alternative (open source aussi) à LocalTunnel, mais un plus évoluée https://pipenet.dev/ pipenet: Alternative open-source et moderne à localtunnel (client + serveur). Usages: Développement local (partage, webhooks), intégration SDK, auto-hébergement sécurisé. Fonctionnalités: Client (expose ports locaux, sous-domaines), Serveur (déploiement, domaines personnalisés, optimisé cloud mono-port). Avantages vs localtunnel: Déploiement cloud sur un seul port, support multi-domaines, TypeScript/ESM, maintenance active. Protocoles: HTTP/S, WebSocket, SSE, HTTP Streaming. Intégration: CLI ou SDK JavaScript. JSON-IO — une librairie comme Jackson ou GSON, supportant JSON5, TOON, et qui pourrait être utile pour l'utilisation du "structured output" des LLMs quand ils ne produisent pas du JSON parfait https://github.com/jdereg/json-io json-io : Librairie Java pour la sérialisation et désérialisation JSON/TOON. Gère les graphes d'objets complexes, les références cycliques et les types polymorphes. Support complet JSON5 (lecture et écriture), y compris des fonctionnalités non prises en charge par Jackson/Gson. Format TOON : Notation orientée token, optimisée pour les LLM, réduisant l'utilisation de tokens de 40 à 50% par rapport au JSON. Légère : Aucune dépendance externe (sauf java-util), taille de JAR réduite (~330K). Compatible JDK 1.8 à 24, ainsi qu'avec les environnements JPMS et OSGi. Deux modes de conversion : vers des objets Java typés (toJava()) ou vers des Map (toMaps()). Options de configuration étendues via ReadOptionsBuilder et WriteOptionsBuilder. Optimisée pour les déploiements cloud natifs et les architectures de microservices. Utiliser mailpit et testcontainer pour tester vos envois d'emails https://foojay.io/today/testing-emails-with-testcontainers-and-mailpit/ l'article montre via SpringBoot et sans. Et voici l'extension Quarkus https://quarkus.io/extensions/io.quarkiverse.mailpit/quarkus-mailpit/?tab=docs Tester l'envoi d'emails en développement est complexe car on ne peut pas utiliser de vrais serveurs SMTP Mailpit est un serveur SMTP de test qui capture les emails et propose une interface web pour les consulter Testcontainers permet de démarrer Mailpit dans un conteneur Docker pour les tests d'intégration L'article montre comment configurer une application SpringBoot pour envoyer des emails via JavaMail Un module Testcontainers dédié à Mailpit facilite son intégration dans les tests Le conteneur Mailpit expose un port SMTP (1025) et une API HTTP (8025) pour vérifier les emails reçus Les tests peuvent interroger l'API HTTP de Mailpit pour valider le contenu des emails envoyés Cette approche évite d'utiliser des mocks et teste réellement l'envoi d'emails Mailpit peut aussi servir en développement local pour visualiser les emails sans les envoyer réellement La solution fonctionne avec n'importe quel framework Java supportant JavaMail Architecture Comment scaler un système de 0 à 10 millions d'utilisateurs https://blog.algomaster.io/p/scaling-a-system-from-0-to-10-million-users Philosophie : Scalabilité incrémentale, résoudre les goulots d'étranglement sans sur-ingénierie. 0-100 utilisateurs : Serveur unique (app, DB, jobs). 100-1K : Séparer app et DB (services gérés, pooling). 1K-10K : Équilibreur de charge, multi-serveurs d'app (stateless via sessions partagées). 10K-100K : Caching, réplicas de lecture DB, CDN (réduire charge DB). 100K-500K : Auto-scaling, applications stateless (authentification JWT). 500K-10M : Sharding DB, microservices, files de messages (traitement asynchrone). 10M+ : Déploiement multi-régions, CQRS, persistance polyglotte, infra personnalisée. Principes clés : Simplicité, mesure, stateless essentiel, cache/asynchrone, sharding prudent, compromis (CAP), coût de la complexité. Patterns d'Architecture 2026 - Du Hype à la Réalité du Terrain (Part 1/2) - https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/01/30/patterns-darchitecture-2026-part-1/ L'article présente quatre patterns d'architecture logicielle pour répondre aux enjeux de scalabilité, résilience et agilité business dans les systèmes modernes Il présentent leurs raisons et leurs pièges Un bon rappel L'Event-Driven Architecture permet une communication asynchrone entre systèmes via des événements publiés et consommés, évitant le couplage direct Les bénéfices de l'EDA incluent la scalabilité indépendante des composants, la résilience face aux pannes et l'ajout facile de nouveaux cas d'usage Le pattern API-First associé à un API Gateway centralise la sécurité, le routage et l'observabilité des APIs avec un catalogue unifié Le Backend for Frontend crée des APIs spécifiques par canal (mobile, web, partenaires) pour optimiser l'expérience utilisateur CQRS sépare les modèles de lecture et d'écriture avec des bases optimisées distinctes, tandis que l'Event Sourcing stocke tous les événements plutôt que l'état actuel Le Saga Pattern gère les transactions distribuées via orchestration centralisée ou chorégraphie événementielle pour coordonner plusieurs microservices Les pièges courants incluent l'explosion d'événements granulaires, la complexité du debugging distribué, et la mauvaise gestion de la cohérence finale Les technologies phares sont Kafka pour l'event streaming, Kong pour l'API Gateway, EventStoreDB pour l'Event Sourcing et Temporal pour les Sagas Ces patterns nécessitent une maturité technique et ne sont pas adaptés aux applications CRUD simples ou aux équipes junior Patterns d'architecture 2026 : du hype à la réalité terrain part. 2 - https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/02/04/patterns-darchitecture-2026-part-2/ Deuxième partie d'un guide pratique sur les patterns d'architecture logicielle et système éprouvés pour moderniser et structurer les applications en 2026 Strangler Fig permet de migrer progressivement un système legacy en l'enveloppant petit à petit plutôt que de tout réécrire d'un coup (70% d'échec pour les big bang) Anti-Corruption Layer protège votre nouveau domaine métier des modèles externes et legacy en créant une couche de traduction entre les systèmes Service Mesh gère automatiquement la communication inter-services dans les architectures microservices (sécurité mTLS, observabilité, résilience) Architecture Hexagonale sépare le coeur métier des détails techniques via des ports et adaptateurs pour améliorer la testabilité et l'évolutivité Chaque pattern est illustré par un cas client concret avec résultats mesurables et liste des pièges à éviter lors de l'implémentation Les technologies 2026 mentionnées incluent Istio, Linkerd pour service mesh, LaunchDarkly pour feature flags, NGINX et Kong pour API gateway Tableau comparatif final aide à choisir le bon pattern selon la complexité, le scope et le use case spécifique du projet L'article insiste sur une approche pragmatique : ne pas utiliser un pattern juste parce qu'il est moderne mais parce qu'il résout un problème réel Pour les systèmes simples type CRUD ou avec peu de services, ces patterns peuvent introduire une complexité inutile qu'il faut savoir éviter Méthodologies Le rêve récurrent de remplacer voire supprimer les développeurs https://www.caimito.net/en/blog/2025/12/07/the-recurring-dream-of-replacing-developers.html Depuis 1969, chaque décennie voit une tentative de réduire le besoin de développeurs (de COBOL, UML, visual builders… à IA). Motivation : frustration des dirigeants face aux délais et coûts de développement. La complexité logicielle est intrinsèque et intellectuelle, non pas une question d'outils. Chaque vague technologique apporte de la valeur mais ne supprime pas l'expertise humaine. L'IA assiste les développeurs, améliore l'efficacité, mais ne remplace ni le jugement ni la gestion de la complexité. La demande de logiciels excède l'offre car la contrainte majeure est la réflexion nécessaire pour gérer cette complexité. Pour les dirigeants : les outils rendent-ils nos développeurs plus efficaces sur les problèmes complexes et réduisent-ils les tâches répétitives ? Le "rêve" de remplacer les développeurs, irréalisable, est un moteur d'innovation créant des outils précieux. Comment creuser des sujets à l'ère de l'IA générative. Quid du partage et la curation de ces recherches ? https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/04/researching-topics-in-the-age-of-ai-rock-solid-webhooks-case-study/ Recherche initiale de l'auteur sur les webhooks en 2019, processus long et manuel. L'IA (Deep Research, Gemini, NotebookLM) facilite désormais la recherche approfondie, l'exploration de sujets et le partage des résultats. L'IA a identifié et validé des pratiques clés pour des déploiements de webhooks résilients, en grande partie les mêmes que celles trouvées précédemment par l'auteur. Génération d'artefacts par l'IA : rapport détaillé, résumé concis, illustration sketchnote, et même une présentation (slide deck). Guillaume s'interroge sur le partage public de ces rapports de recherche générés par l'IA, tout en souhaitant éviter le "AI Slop". Loi, société et organisation Le logiciel menacé par le vibe coding https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/we-built-a-monday-com-clone-in-under-an-hour-with-ai Deux journalistes de CNBC sans expérience de code ont créé un clone fonctionnel de Monday.com en moins de 60 minutes pour 5 à 15 dollars. L'expérience valide les craintes des investisseurs qui ont provoqué une baisse de 30% des actions des entreprises SaaS. L'IA a non seulement reproduit les fonctionnalités de base mais a aussi recherché Monday.com de manière autonome pour identifier et recréer ses fonctionnalités clés. Cette technique appelée "vibe-coding" permet aux non-développeurs de construire des applications via des instructions en anglais courant. Les entreprises les plus vulnérables sont celles offrant des outils "qui se posent sur le travail" comme Atlassian, Adobe, HubSpot, Zendesk et Smartsheet. Les entreprises de cybersécurité comme CrowdStrike et Palo Alto sont considérées plus protégées grâce aux effets de réseau et aux barrières réglementaires. Les systèmes d'enregistrement comme Salesforce restent plus difficiles à répliquer en raison de leur profondeur d'intégration et de données d'entreprise. Le coût de 5 à 15 dollars par construction permet aux entreprises de prototyper plusieurs solutions personnalisées pour moins cher qu'une seule licence Monday.com.

Jack Chambers-Ward hosts a solo episode of Search With Candour recapping seven major SEO and digital marketing news stories from the first six weeks of 2026, previously covered in the Core Updates newsletter. He highlights Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for agentic commerce and checkout capabilities, Google's Business Agent for brand-voice shopper conversations, and Google's Personal Intelligence initiative that personalises experiences by connecting Gemini to apps like Gmail, YouTube, Photos, and Search. He also covers Gemini-powered AI Insights in Google Trends, Chrome's agentic “auto browse” features that can complete multi-step tasks, a SparkToro study showing AI/LLM recommendations are highly inconsistent, and the February 2026 Google Discover core update aimed at reducing sensational clickbait, improving local relevance, and addressing self-promotional “self-ranking” listicles. Jack notes plans for ongoing monthly news recap episodes and points viewers to links in the show notes for all sources.Links to resources/references:https://developers.googleblog.com/under-the-hood-universal-commerce-protocol-ucp/https://support.google.com/brandprofile/answer/16410382https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/personal-intelligence/https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/google-trends-explore-with-ai/https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/chrome/gemini-3-auto-browse/https://sparktoro.com/blog/new-research-ais-are-highly-inconsistent-when-recommending-brands-or-products-marketers-should-take-care-when-tracking-ai-visibility/https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2026/02/discover-core-update00:00 Introduction02:34 Candour Website Builds: Why SEO Must Be Baked In From Day One04:17 Story #1: Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for Agentic Commerce08:52 Story #2: Google Business Agent - Branded AI Chat for Retailers11:50 Story #3: “Personal Intelligence” and the Start of Fully Personalised Search15:09 Story #4: Gemini-Powered Google Trends Insights17:02 Story #5: Chrome “Auto Browse” & Gemini in the Browser22:54 Story #6: SparkToro Study: Why AI Brand Recommendations Are Inconsistent31:51 Story #7: February 2026 Google Discover Core Update34:35 Wrap-Up and upcoming episode

When we started out making a show about New Orleans business, people – even in the business community – said, “Well that’s great, but what are you going to do after 6 weeks?” That was 2011. We’ve recorded a new episode of Out to Lunch almost every week since then. And we still haven’t run out of guests. In fact, there are so many people doing interesting things in New Orleans business that we rarely have anyone on the show more than once. But, once in a while, we like to check in on some of our earliest guests and see what they’re up to. Back in 2012, in our first year on the air, we met a young man by the name of Kenneth Purcell. Kenneth had some ideas that bridged the gap between the real world – that most of us lived in in those days – and the virtual world, that was beginning to stagger to its feet. To put this in context, in 2006 Apple launched a music player called the i-pod. In 2007 they launched the iPhone. In 2010 they launched the iPad. Locally, before all that, in 1999, Kenneth launched a company called iSeatz. iSeatz wasn’t a device, it was a then-revolutionary new way of making a reservation at a restaurant: Online. I won’t go through every twist and turn in the story, but basically, Kenneth’s company, which is still called iSeatz, went on to pioneer the back-end of online travel and financial services. Among other accomplishments, iSeatz was the company that came up with the idea of using air-miles to buy things other than air tickets. Today, iSeatz creates and provides the online travel engine for companies like Expedia, Trip Advisor, Avis, Hertz, Wyndham Hotels, and American Express. In 2014, at the Idea Village Entrepreneur Week, we met a young woman called Catherine Todd. Catherine and her partner had founded a business called Where Y’Art that had just won Idea Village’s entrepreneur prize for an arts-based business pitch. It was a then-innovative online art gallery: A curated marketplace where selected local artists would be introduced to people who buy art. Today, the company is called Where Y’Art Works and is focused on providing local art to organizations that want to decorate. Where Y’Art Works collaborates with interior designers, facilities teams, set designers, and industry professionals to put original art by local artists in spaces in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, North Louisiana, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. To date they’ve completed over 325 commercial projects - including putting art on the walls in the Sheraton Hotel, Fidelity Bank, and Ochsner and LCMC facilities. In the process, they’ve paid local artists, framers and installers over $6.5m. If we had to pin an exact date on the birth of New Orleans and give it an astrological sign, the city is probably Gemini. The twins. I say that because there seem to be two co-existing versions of the city. One is the city that never changes. You can leave for years and when come back, your favorite people and your favorite dishes at your favorite restaurants are still be here. The other New Orleans is the city that is constantly changing. New brass bands, new Mardi Gras parade groups, new types of king cakes, and new businesses that are growing, or getting bought and sold. Catherine and Kenneth have a foot in both camps. Their businesses are still growing, they’re changing and adapting, but they've been at it now for long enough to become local institutions. And even though they're still both young, they’re the entrepreneurial OG generation – the inspiration for a whole new generation of entrepreneurs. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans. You can find photos from this show by Jill Lafleur at itsneworleans.com.

If it isn't obvious…the boys are lonely. In this episode, Beatrice Oshodi, your new favorite Gemini and Jill of all trades, joins me to explore masculinity, emotional homes, and the contradictions —power and tenderness, silence and expression—that shape male loneliness and connection.

The pace of AI model releases is becoming almost impossible to follow. In just two weeks we saw GPT-5.3-Codex, GPT-5.2 updates, Gemini 3 Deep Think upgrades, Claude Opus 4.6 with a 1M context window in beta, Qwen3-Coder-Next, GLM-5, MiniMax M2.5, Cursor Composer 1.5, and even Kimi 2.5 just outside the window. This isn't a quarterly product cycle anymore - it's a daily arms race. In this episode Matt and Mike break down what this acceleration means for developers, open source, frontier labs, and the broader industry. Are we witnessing healthy innovation, or unsustainable velocity? At what point does this stabilize - if it ever does? If you're trying to build, learn, or compete in AI right now… this conversation is for you. ‍Show Notes: https://www.htmlallthethings.com/podcast/ai-competition-is-out-of-control

Dan Ives is the Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities and one of the most widely followed analysts covering AI and U.S. tech. This conversation was recorded live at Bitcoin Investor Week in New York. In this discussion, Dan explains why the recent selloff in software is disconnected from fundamentals, how AI CapEx is driving a fourth industrial revolution, and why U.S. tech remains structurally ahead. We also discuss the relationship between AI and bitcoin, the current risk-off environment, and why Dan believes we're still early in a multi-year tech bull cycle.======================Sign up for the Gemini Credit Card: https://gemini.com/pomp #GeminiCreditCard #CryptoRewards This video is sponsored by Gemini.

If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.

Markets closed out the week balancing cooler inflation against renewed volatility in tech and AI. U.S. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, with core inflation falling to 2.5% — the lowest level since March 2021. While the report strengthens the case for potential Fed rate cuts, it follows a robust labor market update earlier in the week, keeping policy expectations finely balanced. Equities struggled, with the Nasdaq dropping 2% amid fresh AI disruption fears despite Anthropic raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation. Meanwhile, China posted a record $242 billion current account surplus in Q4 2025, highlighting export resilience despite weak domestic demand. Oil slipped on reports that OPEC+ may resume production increases in April. Gold rebounded after briefly falling below $5,000 per ounce. The yen is on track for its strongest week in a year versus the dollar. In crypto, Bitcoin remains stable week-over-week. Coinbase shares rose despite a Q4 earnings miss, even as reports surfaced that CEO Brian Armstrong has sold roughly $500 million in stock over the past nine months. Several crypto CEOs, including leaders from Ripple, Gemini, Uniswap, and Chainlink, have joined the CFTC advisory group. A volatile week wraps with inflation cooling — but crosscurrents in AI, geopolitics, and liquidity remain firmly in play.

Welcome to the Watson Weekly Weekend Edition. Hosts Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky dive into the post-Super Bowl landscape to break down the biggest moves in retail, tech, and AI. From the high-stakes world of $7 million for 30 second ads at the big game to the massive earnings reports from industry titans (hello Amazon), we're unpacking what these shifts mean for the future of commerce.In This Episode:The AI Ad Wars: We review the ads from the big game spots from Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, and Gemini. Is Anthropic just throwing shade at competitors, or is there a method to the "negative ad" madness?Target's Executive Carousel: Target is shuffling the deck chairs again. With a new CEO and a history of moving merchants into marketing roles, we ask: why does Target seem "allergic" to a real CMO?Spotify vs. Amazon (The Book Edition): In a surprising move, Spotify is partnering with Bookshop.org to sell physical books.

We discuss the upcoming iPhone 17e and iPad models, as well as Apple's apparent issues finalizing the revamped version of Siri, on this week's episode of The MacRumors Show.The announcement of the ‌iPhone‌ 17e is said to be “imminent," with stock of the iPhone 16e now dwindling. The new device is rumored to come with four main new features, including the A19 chip from the iPhone 17, MagSafe connectivity, the C1X cellular modem, and the N1 chip for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Thread connectivity.New iPads are also on the horizon for the near future. The eighth-generation iPad Air is expected to move to the M4 chip, while the 12th-generation ‌iPad‌ is expected to jump a chip generation up to the A18, which will also enable Apple Intelligence support for the first time on the device.This week's biggest story was the news that Apple has again “run into snags" testing the personalized, smarter version of ‌Siri‌ originally planned for iOS 26.4. Due to the issues, the upcoming ‌Siri‌ features will likely be partially delayed and spread across several upcoming iOS releases. Apple could postpone some or all of the new ‌Siri‌ features until iOS 26.5, an update planned for May, and iOS 27, which will launch this September.Apple announced a significantly upgraded version of ‌Siri‌ powered by ‌Apple Intelligence‌ at its 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, and they were originally supposed to be part of iOS 18. The following spring, Apple announced that the new ‌Siri‌ would take longer than expected, with the functionality delayed for a year.Since then, Apple has ostensibly been targeting iOS 26.4, which the company will begin beta testing later this month, but there have apparently been unforeseen problems: ‌Siri‌ sometimes doesn't properly process queries and can take too long to respond to requests.Apple engineers have been told to use iOS 26.5 for further internal testing, suggesting the new ‌Siri‌ features will be delayed until that update. Employees that are testing iOS 26.5 say the update includes all of the features Apple promised, including personalization, onscreen awareness, and the ability for ‌Siri‌ to do more in and between apps, but not all of the features are working reliably and there are problems with accuracy.‌Siri‌ also apparently sometimes falls back on using ChatGPT for information instead of relying on the Gemini-powered technology that Apple has partnered with Google to use, even when the new version of ‌Siri‌ is capable of handling a user's request.Apple also planned to include features that haven't yet been announced, such as options to generate images with Image Playground or search the web. Image generation and web search were tested as part of iOS 26.4, and it's possible they will still be included in the update, so Apple might still be able to release some of the new ‌Siri‌ functionality. Bloomberg says the situation is "fluid," though, so Apple's plans could change, and executives are reluctant to further delay the ‌Siri‌ functionality beyond spring 2026.There are still major changes planned for ‌Siri‌ as part of iOS 27, with Apple aiming to add chatbot functionality to better compete with the likes of like Gemini and ChatGPT. This new version of ‌Siri‌ will also reportedly have deeper integration with apps and Apple's operating systems.Start your business with Shopify and get everything you need to sell online and in person.

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2. Shipped early on Snapdragon X1, but was made available to all Windows 11 PCs later that year) So why is this happening now? Fortune 500/corporate customer pushback on AI is one guess This is GOOD news, however it all unfolds More Windows 11 Yesterday was Patch Tuesday, so get to work. Updates this month include: Agent in Settings (Copilot+ PCs only) improvements. Settings improvements, cross-device Resume improvements, Windows MIDI Services improvements, Narrator improvements, Smart App Control improvements, Windows Hello New ESS improvements, and File Explorer improvements Somewhat related to the quality/security push noted above, Microsoft is rolling out new Secure Boot certificates this year for older (pre-2024/25) PCs Microsoft announces a Store CLI that does (almost) nothing new compared to winget New Dev and Beta builds with minor changes: Emoji 16.0, camera improvements, various fixes More earnings Amazon hits $213.4 billion in revenues, will spend $200 billion CAPEX/AI infrastructure this fiscal year, more than Google ($175/$185 billion) or Microsoft (estimated $150+ billion) Qualcomm $12.25 billion in revenues, up 5 percent Alphabet/Google - Up 18 percent (!) to $113.8 billion - 750 million MAUs on Gemini, 74 percent of revenues come from advertising Spotify - somehow has over 750 million MAUs now AI and dev OpenAI and Anthropic release dueling agentic AI coding models that do more than agentic AI coding within minutes of each other Ads appear in ChatGPT Free and Go as threatened Duck.ai adds private, anonymous real-time AI voice chat NET 11 Preview 1 arrives, but there's nothing major here Xbox & games Microsoft announces the 2025 Xbox Excellence Awards Celebrate 35 years of Id Software - Castle Wolfenstein 3D was a wake-up call for PC gaming, but DOOM was a miracle, and Quake was a real WTF moment Sony sold 8 million PlayStation 5s (down 16 percent YOY) in the holiday quarter, 92 million (!) overall Valve predictably delays the vaporware Steam Machine Epic Games is having a winter sale - for example, Silent Hill 2, GTA V Enhanced are 50 percentR These show notes have been truncated due to length.
