🥇 the Olympic Torch Relay returns to the Parisian region this Friday During these few days of celebration around the capital One thing's for sure: there'll be something for everyone View this post on Instagram A post shared by Paris2024 (@paris2024) The Relay will pass through 12 towns across the department where the festivities will be in full swing Throughout the 15 towns and cities it will pass through the Relay will travel through an atmosphere that promises to be one to remember with a departure from Orly airport at 8am and a finale in Créteil as the highlight of the day it's the Olympics of fire works: conceiving and realizing grandiose pyrotechnic shows is the annual challenge of this festival with four countries once again invited to take part three other countries will be redoubling their efforts to imagine and set up an unprecedented pyromelodic show based on emblematic music from the world of Electro Dance get ready to see France,Germany,Spain andEngland compete against each other to dazzle you with their ingenuity Then it's up to you to choose the best among them the international fireworks festival is giving"free skies" to these four renowned pyrotechnicians who will express their art and rival each other in imagination to present an unprecedented pyrotechnic show as this new and 16th edition of the international fireworks festival will also unveil a new graphic creation of luminous drones Refer your establishment, click here Promote your event, click here Meta's chief AI scientist Yann LeCun is an open source fan and FUD skeptic Geoffery Hinton — considered one of the godfathers of deep learning — quit a job at Google to speak out about the dangers of AI but his former student and co-winner of the 2018 Turing Award holds a different opinion about AI: Yann LeCun thinks it's dumber than a cat And that irreverent speech and more optimistic view on AI has become LeCun's trademark alongside his expertise in computer vision and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) LeCun was born in 1960 in Soisy-sous-Montmorency and became intrigued by AI after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey After a PhD in computer science from what is now known as the Sorbonne University with work on back-propagation algorithms he completed a post-doc at the University of Toronto under Hinton LeCun joined the famed AT&T Bell Laboratories developing key technologies including CNNs and image compression and in 2003 became a professor at New York University later founding the NYU Center for Data Science he joined Meta as chief AI scientist for Facebook AI Research (FAIR) LeCun and Hinton won the 2018 Turing Award together for their work on deep neural networks The three academics teamed up to win funding from the Canadian government to keep research moving on neural networks at a time when the field struggled to win attention — as difficult as that may seem to believe now — outlasting skepticism surrounding the technique to build systems that power the multi-billion dollar AI market today Sign up today and you will receive a free copy of our Future Focus 2025 report - the leading guidance on AI cybersecurity and other IT challenges as per 700+ senior executives "I don't want to bash those systems or say they’re useless — I spent my career working on them But we have to dampen the excitement some people have that we're just going to scale this up and pretty soon we’re gonna get human intelligence While LeCun didn't sign that six-month pause letter like his Turing co-winners he did take part in an open letter to then-US president Joe Biden warning that AI shouldn't "be under the control of a select few corporate entities." Manage, orchestrate, and optimize AI at scale Indeed, LeCun has frequently spoken in favour of open source arguing that it's the one way to keep AI safe Regarding DeepSeek — the Chinese developer that shocked American AI giants — he said that milestone shouldn't be seen as China surpassing the US "The correct reading is: ‘open-source models are surpassing proprietary ones'," he wrote on LinkedIn AI optimist attempting to cut through the hype with witticisms — regardless of whether you agree with his take on AI at least he's keeping the debate interesting Nicole KobieFreelance journalist Nicole Kobie first started writing for ITPro in 2007 Nicole the author of a book about the history of technology Will AI bolster Macron's presidential legacy as well as politicians ranging from US Vice President JD Vance to European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen But the star of the show was Emmanuel Macron, who announced an €109-billion investment package in AI with 35 sites identified for immediate data centre development and proclaimed that France was “back in the AI race.” France has a surprisingly large number of assets in the AI global race The founders of Mistral AI met in France’s prestigious École Polytechnique engineering school while the quality of the country’s top engineers is no secret in Silicon Valley or Wall Street “AI godfather” Yann LeCun was born in the impossibly French-sounding town of Soisy-sous-Montmorency If France manages to keep these assets home it will have some of the most skilled foot soldiers in the global AI race For Macron, Mistral’s breakthrough is a welcome opportunity. With his minority coalition government hanging by a thread over acrimonious budget discussions and as he increasingly resembles a lame duck ahead of the 2027 presidential elections the French President will be looking for some bold projects to establish his legacy It remains to be seen how the AI Act — a fantastically dense and complex piece of legislation — will impact the development of AI in the EU What’s more, France lacks the financial firepower of the US to push these large projects. For all of Macron’s celebration of Le Chat as a tool for European tech sovereignty, most of the €109-billion investments announced are coming from foreign funds; €50 billion alone will come from the United Arab Emirates many French tech start-ups have hopped over the Atlantic to tap into the much larger American capital market With budget negotiations looming in the background and with a return to the EU target of a 3% deficit nowhere in sight this AI breakthrough constitutes a painful reminder for French elites The inability of the political class to clean up its finances means that the country lacks the fiscal space to deal with tomorrow’s crises or to invest properly now in the technology of the future Pierre-Louis Bodman is an independent French politics analyst Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Please click here to view our media pack for more information on advertising and partnership opportunities with UnHerd is a chef who has expertly married his love for haute cuisine with the sublime beauty of mountainous landscapes on his trips to Les Houches in Haute-Savoie that he fell in love with the mountains and skiing During his military service with the Alpine Chasseurs in Chambéry He began his professional journey at the CFA in Laon in 1984 subsequently continuing his studies in Étouvelles and Paris he had the opportunity to work at Hôtel Le Lotti and later with Christian Constant at the renowned Hôtel de Crillon and he soon earned the respect of Marc Veyrat the acclaimed chef at Auberge de l'Eridan in Veyrier-du-Lac Veyrat initially took Renaut on as a chef de partie later promoting him to the position of sous-chef After three formative years working alongside Veyrat Renaut decided to explore new opportunities He worked with the chef and pastry expert Yves Thuriès and moved to London where he took on the role of chef at the prestigious Claridge's the call of the mountains was too strong to ignore The establishment quickly garnered recognition following in the footsteps of accomplished chefs like Jean-François Piège praised for its delicacy and the surprising harmony of its composition is closely tied to local Savoyard products Gastronomic critics have often compared Renaut to Alain Passard recognizing his inventive approach to reinterpreting local produce Renaut remains strongly connected to his Picardy roots It was during his time in London that Renaut met his wife Kristine who was working at the reception of Claridge's The couple has three children and together they manage the restaurant Do you want to discover the latest news and recipes of the most renowned chefs and restaurants in the world La nostra società utilizza inoltre cookie funzionali per registrare informazioni sulle scelte dell’utente e per consentire una personalizzazione del Sito;

I thought it would be a matter of a few weeks but then the reality was that I needed a few months to find myself again properly I lost many times due to circumstances similar to today's which led me to have many negative thoughts to the point of thinking that each match would end in the same way with a loss,” recalls the Soisy-sous-Montmorency native about that dark period of the season where he admits he entered the court already defeated that's the truth; there were hardly any moments when I felt in top form,” he emphasized after earning a 17-31 record pending the outcome he may have this week at the year's final Masters 1000 event “I didn't feel like I could give my 100% on the court; that feeling was frustrating although I still don't feel as I would like to I managed to play without thinking too much as these were the biggest challenges I had to face throughout the season it seems like that's under control,” discreetly celebrates the man who was ranked #17 in the world last February Many things have changed since that February his personal rough patch doesn't stop him from smiling when asked about the good moment French tennis is experiencing in this latest edition of the Bercy tournament or Humbert are exciting the local fans in recent hours although he is within that group of names dreaming of advancing in the draw “Arthur Fils and Ugo Humbert have an incredible level of play; it's quite logical that they have come this far it's quite surprising that we have reached this level to advance to this round in the main draw We are at the end of the year; many players have retired; in Bercy so it's time for other players to seize their opportunities We'll see how everything turns out in the end but it's something great and encouraging for French tennis to find new players who can go far in these types of tournaments,” concluded the man who will now face Jordan Thompson This news is an automatic translation.
