rsync's developer, whose credentials are hard to argue with, has a post about his recent commit of code co-written with AIs that broke rsync, explaining why he has taken this development path. It's worth reading the full thing whether you agree or not (I have RTed a few interesting critical takes on this already earlier).

"for the people saying things like “I’m a PhD from xyz uni and I’m telling your LLMs are just stochastic tools that make everything up and the world will fall apart if you use them”, I’m here to tell you that you are out of date. The world of software engineering has changed dramatically in the last few months. The world of IT security and maintaining software in the face of the flood of reports has completely and utterly changed just in the last few weeks. Anything you learned about this stuff last year might as well be from another planet"

---== Petite histoire et grande Histoire ==---
---== Mémoire familiale ==---

Dans la boîte aux lettres, est arrivée une invitation destinée à feu mon papa, qui fut envoyé très tôt au pensionnat à Courpière. Cela le marqua à vie, il évoquait encore combien cela lui avait coûté dans ses derniers instants malgré l'Alzheimer (qui conserve intacte la mémoire ancienne ; c'est même la seule qui reste à un certain stade de la maladie).

Quel est le lien entre les deux ?

Je vais vous le raconter.

"The French economy is underperforming. Over the last twenty years, its level of growth has been consistently below the EU average. In cumulative terms, the EU grew by 27 percent between 2005 and 2024, whereas France stood at 23 percent. Only Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Finland fared worse.

These figures stand in sharp contrast with the expectations raised by the election of Emmanuel Macron in 2017. The Economist marked this event by claiming that “corporate Europe is giddy with optimism.” The magazine’s cover depicted the newly elected French president, who had held the position of finance minister from 2014 to 2016, as a man walking on water who was carrying the hopes of “France, Europe and centrists everywhere” on his shoulders.

While his neoliberal program was hardly original, Macron’s victory still represented a powerful signal: The supposedly French anti-business exception would come to a definitive end and provide momentum to centrist policies that had come under strain elsewhere since the global financial crisis. This narrative could not be further from the truth: Under Macron’s presidency, French corporate welfare reached new heights while the country became increasingly authoritarian.

With the rise of neoliberalism, French state capitalism has experienced a far-reaching transformation. While postwar dirigisme, based on nationalized firms, state-controlled credit, and expansive regulatory policies, has been thoroughly dismantled, the French state did not retreat from the economy. Rather, its interventions evolved toward forms of corporate welfare. This phenomenon clearly stands out from delving into the country’s public finances."
