Testing out DIA and while some stuff is different and with minor issues, at least there are some good uses for it: reading through, summarizing, and highlighting tasks from a long email thread, for example…

Will continue experimenting with it.

LNB Betclic Elite finals between my Paris Basketball and AS Monaco

6/15/25

First game of the Finals — a best of five series It’s our second appearance at the finals ever — second in two years. We lost to Monaco 3-1 last year, but we are stronger while Monaco is having some issues with a star player who’s not gonna play again this season and another solid one who’s injured.

Today’s victory puts us up 1-0, so two more wins, needed to win the whole damn thing!

The team was serious from beginning to end, so that was really great.

Back from Viva Tech 2025

6/13/25

Just got back from a day at Viva Tech 2025 for Work.

The event was huge, with 165,000 attendees over four days, making it the biggest conference I’ve ever been to.

AI was obviously the star of the show, popping up everywhere and driving discussions on its ethical implications and practical applications. It was interesting to see how governments (national and regional) and companies are leveraging AI to innovate in their core businesses.

I attended 2 really cool keynotes :

Peng Xiao’s talk on “Life in the Age of AI” delved into the philosophical and ethical aspects of our AI-driven world.
The panel on “The Future of Space” was equally inspiring, with insights from NASA, CNES, and other industry leaders.

Overall, a great opportunity to see how the industry is evolving. It was a solid experience, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.

People are walking through a bustling event hall with colorful, large inflatable structures and various booths. A speaker addresses an audience on a large stage with a high-tech backdrop displaying ‘VIVA TECHNOLOGY’. A panel of five people is engaged in a discussion on stage at a conference with a vibrant red and purple background and two large screens displaying the scene. A bustling convention center features numerous booths, attendees, and colorful displays under a large metal ceiling. A Louis Vuitton trunk showcases a silver Formula 1 trophy inside a glass display case. A large crowd is gathered indoors, watching a presentation on a screen displaying the words ‘Yes Ma’am!’ A bustling indoor exhibition venue filled with booths, attendees, and colorful displays. A crowded event features an AWS display with a monitor showing the Formula 1 logo and several attendees gathered around booths and exhibits.
