  • World fondue championship, smart AI’s, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#21)

    Another week has passed, and summer time is getting closer and closer. Let’s hope the following weeks end up being productive and I can share some good news. Let’s start with the links this week, which group the topics of 3D printing, machine learning, food, and astrobiology: 3D printing takes the smart route A very…

  • This is Spinal Tap, the invisible killer, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#20)

    Busy week at the lab, but things are going nicely. Heat wave going strong, with temperatures around 30 ºC in Paris for the whole week (quite high for this time of the year). Still, some interesting stuff to share. Let’s go: These go to 11 It seems like my favourite rockumentary will have a sequel…

  • AI regulation, 3D displays, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#19)

    Summer is here! Temperatures on the rise (we almost reached 30ºC for a couple days), and rain seems to be over (not saying that too loud, I do not want to jinx it). Lots of interesting news this week, so let’s get to it. A dinner with Myxomycetes Really nice macro photographies of slime moulds.…

  • Covid-29?, farewell to Ravenholm, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#18)

    Busy week in the lab, running experiments that worked quite well (cool!). Temperatures on the rise, and not a lot of rain in sight (cool cool!!). Finished The Rhythm of War, a book that destroyed me, just to re-build me from the pieces left (cool cool cool!!!). Anyway, let’s share some reads for the weekend:…

  • Old man Kirby, Twitter might be doomed, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#17)

    Back in Paris, where temperatures are nice but blue skies are some kind of mythological animal, it seems. Anyway, at least I did not have a lot of trouble with the allergies and the dirty air this time. Quite packed week at work (and it will probably get worse in the coming months), but still…

  • A drop in the ocean, crypto colonialism, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#16)

    Slow week (holidays), but still managed to read some cool stuff. Let’s start: 1-hour delivery! To your door! At no additional cost! Not much to say, honestly. Apparently, getting to 55$ billion in sales by using cheap labour and stealing from sellers it is not enough to make a profit for Amazon. Having tax havens…

  • A nice r/place, AlphaFold’s future, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#15)

    Back to Spain for a break, hungry for good food and some sun. Also a good time to see the folks, as the pandemic seems to be quite controlled around. Anyway, there has been quite a lot of interesting stuff, so let’s get to it: Welcome back to the 2000’s This was quite cool, and…

  • Lost ships, the eye of Sauron, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#14)

    Full week at a conference, so basically no news/links on my side. However, going back to meet people face to face was amazing. Super cool talks, nice food, and my body clearly saying to me that I am not used to being far from home for a full week anymore. Nature’s images of the month.…
