Ce mini-dispositif à 100 dollars pourrait permettre de pirater un Boeing 737

Une équipe de l’Université de Californie à San Diego et de l’Oberlin College, dans l’Ohio, a conçu un implant capable de manipuler certains systèmes d’un Boeing 737, révèle une enquête de WIRED. Minuscule et peu coûteux, le dispositif nécessite néanmoins un accès physique à l’avion et une expertise considérable.

Ihor Solodrai and Shung-Hsi Yu wrapped up the BPF track at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit with a pair of sessions related to testing. Solodrai spoke about what has changed for BPF's continuous-integration (CI) testing. Yu spoke about what may be needed to test BPF updates in stable kernels more thoroughly. The BPF subsystem's CI tests are in a good place, they said; even so, Solodrai and Yu have a handful of possible avenues toward enabling better test coverage in the future.

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced the candidates running for the Python packaging council that was approved by the Python steering council in April.

This inaugural election fills all five seats on the PPC. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be designated Cohort A with a two year term, and the three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes shall be designated Cohort B with a one year term.

In future elections, each cohort will be elected for a full two-year term in alternating years, so that roughly half of the PPC turns over each cycle.

There are 17 candidates running for the five open seats. PSF voting-eligible members must affirm their intention to vote in this election by August 25. Voting begins on September 1, and ends on September 15.

Elle a fabriqué un corps à l’IA Claude, puis l’a emmenée voir l’éclipse

Pour observer l’éclipse solaire du 12 août 2026, Olivia Zhu n’est pas allée seule sur la plage. Elle a emporté le petit corps robotique qu’elle a conçu pour Claude, l’intelligence artificielle d’Anthropic. Une expérience étonnante, qui en dit surtout beaucoup sur cette tendance à transformer les chatbots en compagnons.
