  7. @amelliug #Typst me semble effectivement une bonne alternative à #LaTeX. Mais, par contre, ce que trouve être un avantage non négligeable ce serait, pour moi, le support natif du #svg. Ainsi je pourrais réutiliser les molécules créés par moi sous #Molketch ou sous #Ketcher par mes étudiants. Cela m'éviterait de devoir toujours convertir ces molécules ou équations sous #chemfig et #tikz ou alors exporter mes svg en #pdf ou #eps.

  8. 📈Long-term performance is central to achieving both climate objectives and housing affordability. Building materials must deliver stable thermal efficiency, durability and integration into scalable systems that support renovation and new construction across Europe.

  15. Edmonton police emails, documents provide new information on Canada-first AI facial recognition bodycam pilot

    The CBC’s Taylor Lambert explores the Edmonton Police Service’s controversial AI facial recognition bodycam pilot, part of an American and Israeli backed program with Axon and Corsight AI. Privacy experts weigh in as Canadians learn that the Corsight AI software was developed from experience in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

    While Corsight emphasizes that EPS would retain ownership and control of its data, Canadian privacy and data end up collected, processed by a third party. I can’t read that any other way than turned over, stored, and accessible by the Americans and the Israelis.

    In 2024, the New York Times reported that Israel had deployed mass surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza that relied in part on Corsight’s facial recognition technology.

    CBC News has not independently confirmed the Times’ reporting, but Gideon Christian, an associate professor of AI and law at the University of Calgary, finds those reports troubling.

    “I think the track record of who is providing the technology matters,” he said.

    Data shared with Axon will be anonymized “whenever possible,” according to the EPS privacy assessment.

    “However, data required to aid in assessing the success or failures associated with the technology will be shared when / if required.”

    Christian expressed concern that the qualified language appeared to leave open the possibility of sharing sensitive information with Axon under certain circumstances.

    “‘Whenever possible’ is a very loose and ambiguous phrase,” said Christian.

    “These are definitely not the kinds of qualifications I would love to see, especially when it comes to sharing of sensitive information collected by a law enforcement agency.”

    Axon directed project-specific questions to EPS, but said in a statement that its customers “retain full ownership and control of their data, which is protected through encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, audit logging, and agency-defined retention policies.”

    So, certainly the EPS would be sensitive to these issues, and be open to the concerns of some of their stakeholders when this project comes to light?

    I suppose not because the EPS, recently accused of attacking the criminal justice system by threatening courts and the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service, and characterized as engaging in “institutional combat”, leaned into this characterization when answering the CBC’s Access to Information request to EPS.

    CBC News also sent several questions to EPS seeking clarification or comment about specific details of the privacy assessment, EPS emails or aspects of the project. EPS did not address those questions, including:

    why EPS did not allow time for the OIPC to review its privacy assessment before starting the pilot;
    when data might be shared with Axon;
    what training is involved for officers reviewing matches, and who provides it;
    whether any AI models are trained using images or data collected by EPS.

    In response to the initial list of questions from CBC News, EPS said in a statement that the police agency fulfilled its statutory obligations when it submitted the privacy assessment to the OIPC, and has since met with officials to discuss it. “As we’ve said previously, evaluating and mitigating privacy impacts is an important ongoing part of our proof of concept.”

    The statement also addressed CBC’s access to information request.

    “We’ve provided clear, factual information throughout this process and engaged in good faith,” wrote Wozny in a statement.

    “It’s disappointing that, despite this, CBC appears unwilling to reflect on its own ethical responsibilities while continuing to suggest impropriety on EPS’ part.

    “Should you have specific, fact‑based questions that require clarification, we’re prepared to respond. Otherwise, we trust that when you proceed with your story, our position will be represented accurately and in full context.”

    When asked, Wozny declined to clarify the statement or address follow-up questions and said the EPS would not provide anything more.

  19. Lawyers Group Wants a Criminal Probe of Edmonton’s Top Cop

    Tyee’s Charles Rusnell follows up on the fall out from Edmonton Police Service’s Chief Warren Driechel, and his office’s notorious attempt to publicly pressure the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service and the Criminal Justice System.

    Certainly, the article deserves a read because the Chief’s actions in the Rattlesnake case are characterized as “institutional combat”. I’d highlight that the Americans are very familiar with this, because some of their states elect District Attorneys, Sheriffs, and Judges. The US invites this “public brinksmanship” to pit institutions and the public against one another for fame and votes. And, if this is what Chief Driechel wishes to introduce to Alberta, he can always resign now and seek work in the US.

    Driechel’s actions have damaged the Criminal Justice system’s core principles, and institutions. Albertans should remember that two senior Crown Prosecutors were terminated, and Justice Minister Mickey Amery denied any involvement in that decision. Also, Premier Danielle Smith publicly supported Driechel, and it’s unclear what her involvement was in yet another assault on Alberta’s institutions.

  20. 🏠Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of affordable housing strategies across Europe.
    Materials must deliver stable thermal performance over time while remaining economically viable for large-scale deployment.

    EPS plays a role in achieving this balance.

  24. The ten BEST new albums released in 2025

    “Altar” by NewDad – Source: en.wikipedia,org

    It’s that time of the year again — time for posting our favorites in music, film, TV, etc. The year 2025 has been one filled will great music, especially from Ireland. Of my top ten albums released in 2025, four of them are from the Emerald Isle, including numero uno. The United Kingdom is represented by Wolf Alice and YUNGBLUD, while the United States is represented by Hayley Williams (lead singer of Paramore), Momma, Deep Sea Diver, and El Paso’s very own Late Night Drive Home.

    This year was the first time that Wolf Alice has released a full-length album that did not get listed as number one by me. There are several songs I love from The Clearing, but the overall album did not resonate with me like past ones have. Meanwhile, Altar, the second full-length album by NewDad is utterly fantastic from beginning to end with excellent tracks and splendid lyrics. Another surprise is the lack any bands from Canada in the top ten given how well The Beaches and Valley did last year and Metric has done in the past.

    Here’s my list – hope you get a chance to listen to them, especially Altar by NewDad. Peace!

  25. The Irish rock music invasion keeps on rolling!

    Source: amazon.com

    Much like the British Invasion the 1960s and their second invasion the 1980s, 2025 has been a banger year for alternative, indie, garage, and post-punk rock music coming out of the Emerald Isle. This blog author’s favorite news song of the year is“My Favorite Monster” by Cliffords and my choice for best new album of 2025, Altar, was released by NewDad in September.

    Among the rock bands from Ireland that are quickly becoming household names, are the following nine (presented in alphabetical order):

    Cardinals – must listen songs – “Masquerade” and “Barbed Wire”

    What’s really cool is the music isn’t just coming out of Dublin. Its emanating from across Ireland in places like Cork (Cliffords and Cardinals), Galway (NewDad), and Bray (Florence Road) too. Another special aspect about Irish rock is the inclusion of traditional instruments like fiddle, accordion, and trumpet into the music.

    If you get a chance, check these and other terrific Irish bands out online or on your favorite music app.

    Peace!
