Yann Le Cun litteraly said this morning on the radio in France that it is headquarted in Paris and will pay taxes in France. Go figure…

Hm, Singapour looks more like "one of their base"; they will have offices in Paris, Montréal, Singapour and New York (according to both this article and the interview Yann Le Cun did this morning on France Inter, the most listened radio in France).

Of course, each relevant newspaper on those areas highlight that it's coming to their place, but it really seems to be distributed.

New comment by Signez in "Cloudflare claimed they implemented Matrix on Cloudflare workers. They didn't"

Signez — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:40:10 +0000

Even acknowledging that blunder and the lost of trust that could have followed for such sloppy work would be a minimum.

I am quite shocked by such lack of care, and it does tarnish the reputation of Cloudflare in my eyes :/

Nah, it's just a basic case of a pivot from a company that previously offered a great open source (MIT licensed) product written in Go that offer WebRTC-based backbone to build audio and video sharing products upon: https://github.com/livekit/livekit

The AI stuff that the original LiveKit company put on top of it (to pivot to more investor-friendly endeavours) is not that relevant in this case, in my humble opinion.

New comment by Signez in "Maybe comments should explain 'what' (2017)"

Signez — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:26:24 +0000

I think the argument against this kind of top comments is that it makes easier to forget to update them if you change the code it refers to.

A single line comment is easy to parse, read and spot as having to be changed when you patch something.

I think you are missing the point: it's mainly to highlight that the models that most people use, i.e. free versions with default settings, output a large number of factual errors, even when they are asked to base their answer to specific sources of information (as it's explained in their methodology document).

New comment by Signez in "2025 AI Index Report"

Signez — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:36:53 +0000

Surprised not to see a whole chapter on the environment impact. It's quite a big talking point around here (Europe, France) to discredit AI usage, along with the usual ethics issues about art theft, job destruction, making it easier to generate disinformation and working conditions of AI trainers in low-income countries.

(Disclaimer: I am not an anti-AI guy — I am just listing the common talking points I see in my feeds.)

New comment by Signez in "Five years of React Native at Shopify"

Signez — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 12:19:54 +0000

Bluesky. They use Expo on top of React Native, use React Native for Web (with a desktop and mobile), and for mobile native apps.

Let's note that because the clients are fully open-source and on GitHub, people from Expo and React Native are helping the little team behind the clients improve performance over time: it's not their final form!
