History is written by the winners, which is why #Luddite is a slur meaning "technophobe" and not a badge of honor meaning, "Person who goes beyond asking what technology does, to asking who it does it *for* and who it does it *to*."

PJL #accélération des #énergiesrenouvelables

Après bientôt une année de crise énergétique, le projet de loi est l'objet de la séance publique de l'@AssembleeNat qui s'ouvre aujourd'hui.

videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/video.12581224…
Rappelons que
- la consommation énergétique de la France est toujours 2/3 fossile
- la France a raté son objectif EnR européen en 2019, ce qui lui coute 500 M€ de pénalité
- les coupures et délestages seront de rigueur cet hiver s'il y a des périodes de grand froid
Rappelons que
- le parc nucléaire actuel est peu disponible et on ne sait pas faire du nouveau nucléaire
- pour l'ensemble des scénarios étudiés, les EnR représentent minimum 75% du mix énergétique de la France en 2050

#Web3 #Cities #Polarization #EmergentEngineering #Decentralization
We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:

"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."

On #biocompute news, $TSLA Tesla AI day gave some technical details on how they do their training and video labelling. It seems $NVDA Nvidia GPUs are the norm, with a 14,000 HPC heavily optimised on the software side. #pytorch #AVX2 #CUDA #SMT #smol #CUDNN Image
None of this is for the purpose of #Bioinformatics applications, rather here it's for Full Self-Driving software, but the technical details show some choices for high-throughput #AI training that one could compare to the #ComputationalBiology #ComputeAcceleration world.

Quelles sont les structures qui accompagnent les porteurs de projets au Bénin?
Arrêtez ce que vous faites et lisez bien ce #thread surtout si vous avez un projet ou une entreprise et vous souhaitez aller vite et bien en 2022.

Un #thread un peu long 👇 Moi travaillant en atelier à Iroko Fablab
1. Les Structures d’Accompagnement en Entrepreneuriat Innovant (SAEI) se sont accrues de façon rapide... Il n'y en avait 01 en 2010 et cette année on en a 28 actives. Cette hausse se justifie par une forte demande et une volonté de développer l’entrepreneuriat professionnel. 👇
2. Le recensement 2021 des SAEI installées au Bénin en a dénombré 28 qui sont localisées à
Abomey-Calavi (01)
Bohicon (01)
Cotonou (13)
Kandi (01)
Lokossa (01)
Natitingou (01)
Parakou (07)
Porto-Novo (02)
Savalou (01)
