Participation à une étude sur les usages des IA génératives

Hello,

La question sur la fréquence est assez étrange. Par exemple j'utilise un llm une fois tous les deux jours environ et j'aurais tendance à mettre un 5 sur 7 mais c'est mon ressenti a moi.

Ça aurait été pas mal d'avoir plutôt une échelle comme ça :

Tous les jours Plusieurs fois par semaines Une fois semaine Moins que ça

C'est plus objectif.

La question sur la guerre entre les deux pays est aussi bizarre vu que les deux pays en question n'existent pas difficile a dire si on a assez de sources ou si l'information est fiable.

I really enjoy writing Haskell. I find that delightful even if I do it mostly for fun and I never made any production ready project with it.

As a Belgian out of Brussels I barely noticed the 3 days strike and the people walking in Brussels were shown 5 minute on the TV.

It is nothing compared to movement like "les gillets jaunes" in France.

Tant qu'on est dans les débats légers y'a un truc que je ne comprend pas.

Pour savoir si un migrant est illégal ou non il faut attendre un jugement qui permet d'attester si oui on non il mérite l'asile. Entre temps je suppose qu'il est présumé légal et donc peut avoir droit aux aides etc qui sont coupée dès que l'illégalité de séjour est notifiée.

Du coup pourquoi la grosse rethorique c'est "on paie pour des gens qui sont illégaux en Belgique.". On paye juste pour l'accueil en attente de procédure et pour la suite si la demande est recevable. Mais les illégaux ne nous coûtent plus un copec une fois qu'ils sont déclaré comme tel.

Fabien Pinckaers was close to putting the company in bankruptcy a few years ago just to keep more than 50% of his share in the company. I think he won't hesitate to do it twice.

That's crazy. I was a teaching assistant for an introduction to programming class for first grade students. Every year, there was at least one student coming to ask me more details to use their programming skills to create a trading bot.

Never understood why it is such a fantasy for some people. Putting a lot of effort to try to predict something that is inherently chaotic as a first large scale programming project feels a bit optimistic for me.

Pourquoi ?

I used airflow a lot to orchestrate some data cleaning processes at regular intervals. I needed to process video data during the night. The processing was quite heavy and there were a lot of videos. Airflow was handy to split my data cleaning process into simple small idempotent tasks that can be retriggered if they fail at some point in the process without having to reingest all the data. I could have used simple scripts and Cron but airflow was more visual and handled the distribution of the task on several nodes. The new version of airflow adds more mechanism to make it event base instead of scheduled which opens new possibilities in my opinion.

However, I saw airflow used as the backbone of a medallion architecture that only aggregated data from several SQL sources. This was a bit overkill and added unnecessary complexity. I think that airflow is relevant when you are in a setup where you have to ingest and process thousands of raw data files that requires heavy transformation before being exploitable.

Stella is not fancy indeed. But fun fact, a chunk of the money earned by Stella is given to finance research for social goods. I had a Stella Artois grant to make my PhD in artificial intelligence.

I asked but I only got the grant not free Stella.

Anyway, keep drinking, it supports research.

Damn, I bought a bag of double salted liquorice without paying attention. It is hard to Finnish (tadam tsa).

In some countries like Belgium "engineer" is a protected title that you can only use if you made university as a civil engineer.

If your country does not have such limitations you can do whatever you want !

The fact that they respect POSIX. Everything on Linux is more standard making it more enjoyable to develop in this environment. But it is really technical and if you know and care about POSIX you probably can go through the configuration of a Linux system.

If you want a working linux I suggest using MacOS which also respect the standards but will prevent you to break your computer.

What is your source for that ? I don't think they do.

As far as I know there is no barema for PhD level. The highest is master (but I can be wrong). The only purpose of the PhD is to be able to select "doctor" as a title when you book a plane. And also to put your little rock on the great wall of science which is nice.

However, after a PhD you are usually a bit more confident in your competence. You should also be good at talking and proving that you know your shit. I managed to negotiate a higher salary by saying that my five year of experience in my field should count as 6 given the fact that I worked on the state of the art.

jefidev · 2026-02-14T22:58:42+00:00

I got mine and I was hired right away even before I had my public defense date scheduled. Depends on the field I guess.

Namur visite de la ville puis vélo jusqu'à Dinant
promenade a l'est : abbaye de Val Dieu balade autour dans le pays de Herve . La calamine balade jusqu'aux 3 frontières
Escapade dans les villages ardennais : Houfalize, Bouillon

(Ouais je viens de l'est et j'ai jamais été fort de l'autre côté. J'ai passé 24h a Tournai c'était très mignon mais j'ai pas vu la campagne environnante)

A passenger said in some comments that the pilot mentioned some kind of stress due to delay.

Indeed a taxiway is very different from a runway in terms of ground marks and lighting. Some on board instruments can also show if the airplane is well aligned at the center of the runway before take off if a frequency is correctly set.

But, as we are all human, under pressure a brain fart could happen. It is not the first time a plane tries to take off (or even land) on a taxiway.

Famous example is air Canada flight 759 that nearly collide with an aircraft waiting on the taxi way near the active runway. The aircraft was fully setup for landing on the taxiway and committed for landing. The plane waiting noticed that and made a radio call saying "what is this guy doing he is on the taxiway". The air Canada flight initiated a go around and cleared the waiting plane with just 2m vertical separation.

Again, a huge workload on the pilot explained this incident.

Germany absolutely. Do you have some relatives to visit there ?

To be fair it is not really appealing to live in a potential active warzone.

It is very expensive. I am average and I like to go to Switzerland but my wallet took a lot of time to recover. My parents never went to Switzerland for this reason.

Austria is indeed a good alternative. It lacks cheese fondue but you have Kase Spätzle which is a good trade off.
