French people are more racist than misogynist, I can't decide if it's positive or not

The end of the modern world starts at 8pm, right?

Any advices on Django/Python for web app coding?

Good bye Federated Timeline, you'll be missed!

Researchers demonstrate just how deeply infused bias is in our technology. Any Artificial Intelligence system that relies on existing pools of human knowledge is going to have a very difficult, if not next to impossible, job of filtering out human bias.

French elections remind us that politician themselves are their worst ennemies. Internet does not forget.

Really interesting article (in French) about the metaphoric bridge one can do between the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and our modern society. Statistics and Quantum Physics are strongly related, should we try to understand our society through probability, degree of confidence and not predictively? Can Quantum Physics explain Trump or Brexit?

You're seriously trying to tell me this thing somehow all magically works without having everyone's phone number??1

@Staming Agreed! It's a plus for me as well.

None of my friends uses Mastodon, it's a rare freedom to be able to say whatever you want and never worry how people might perceive that. I'm feeling good.

Any suggestions about tech blogs in English, German and French?

Thanks for all your answers, second question then, what kind of informations are collected and can be accessed by the moderator of my instance?

How can I be sure nobody's gonna sell my data on mastodon?

Currently coding a translator. It's crazy how complex can a langage be!
