World’s Narrowest Fiat Panda is one anorexic 19-inch-wide EV destined for the record books

Classic cars often become platforms for bold customization, but few reimaginings are as visually striking (or ugly, I have to admit) as this one. Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi has transformed a 1993 Fiat Panda into what is now being described as the world’s narrowest functioning car. At just 19.6 inches wide, the one-seater electric vehicle looks more like a cartoon sketch brought to life than a road-ready hatchback. Yet it can move, steer, stop, and drive like any other car. That said, I would never imagine myself driving this one-eyed Cyclops in this lifetime.

Marazzi, who works at his family’s scrapyard and mechanical workshop in Bagnolo Cremasco, spent over a year building the vehicle as a tribute to the original Fiat Panda. Nearly every original part of the 1993 car has been reused in the process—doors, lights, roof, and wheels—but the body has been split vertically and rebuilt to shrink the vehicle’s width down to a comically slim profile. What was once a compact city car is now a sculptural slice of steel with just enough room to accommodate a single person, seated at the exact center.

Designer: Andrea Marazzi

Powering this narrow Panda is a small electric motor borrowed from an e-scooter, paired with a 24V battery that gives the car a modest top speed of about 15 kilometers per hour and a driving range of approximately 25 kilometers. It’s not built for real-world commuting, nor is it legally road-registered. But it functions exactly as a basic car should: offering forward and reverse drive, braking, turning, and a working headlight and turn signals. While Marazzi originally created it as a showpiece, the vehicle is fully operational and was recently driven in public at an enthusiast gathering in Pandino, Italy.

The car made its debut at “Panda a Pandino,” a festival celebrating 45 years of the Fiat Panda. Surrounded by thousands of conventionally sized Pandas, Marazzi’s single-seater stood out immediately. Videos and images from the event quickly went viral online, leaving viewers fascinated by its proportions and mobility. Many were amused by how the Panda looks almost flattened, as if it had been squeezed into a 2D shape while retaining its ability to move. Others praised the engineering behind it, describing it as a brilliant blend of creativity, nostalgia, and humor.

Though it’s not street-legal, Marazzi is in the process of submitting the car for a Guinness World Record as the slimmest functioning vehicle ever made. At just a third of the width of the original Fiat Panda, it’s an extreme but fascinating reinterpretation of automotive form. More art installation than transport solution, the narrow Panda invites viewers to rethink proportions, functionality, and playfulness in mechanical design. It’s a rolling experiment—part engineering challenge, part tribute, and part public spectacle.

Adrian Lamo - Le hacker sans-abri qui a changé le monde

Cet article fait partie de ma série de l’été spécial hackers. Bonne lecture !

Si comme moi, vous pensiez qu’un bon hacker devait avoir un arsenal d’outils sophistiqués, l’histoire d’Adrian Lamo va vous retourner le cerveau.

Windows 98, Internet Explorer et Notepad. C’est tout.

Avec ces 3 outils basiques, ce type a réussi à pénétrer les réseaux de Microsoft, de Yahoo et du New York Times. Et pendant que d’autres développaient des malwares complexes, lui prouvait qu’une faille reste une faille, peu importe vos outils. Voici donc l’histoire de ce “Homeless Hacker”… un mélange de génie technique, de précarité sociale et de tragédie humaine dans un cocktail qui ferait pâlir les scénaristes de Mr. Robot.

Une peau électronique qui se répare toute seule !

Alors ça c’est incroyable ! Des chercheurs danois viennent de créer une peau artificielle capable de se réparer toute seule en quelques secondes, de surveiller votre santé 24h/24 et qui pourrait même équiper les combinaisons spatiales du futur.

Ces scientifiques de l’Université Technique du Danemark (DTU) ont donc mis au point un matériau révolutionnaire qui combine du graphène avec un polymère au nom imprononçable : le PEDOT:PSS. On obtient ainsi une sorte de peau électronique aux propriétés complètement dingues notamment sa capacité à imiter le comportement de notre peau biologique.

Comet - Le navigateur IA de Perplexity débarque sur Windows

Après avoir secoué Google avec leur moteur de recherche IA qui cartonne (près de 2% du trafic mondial de recherche, quand même), Perplexity débarque maintenant avec Comet, un navigateur qui pourrait bien mettre tout le monde d’accord. En plus, la beta Windows vient tout juste d’être lancée pour quelques chanceux testeurs !

Durant des années, on a tous galéré avec nos navigateurs, à jongler entre 50 onglets ouverts, à chercher ce mail important auquel on a jamais répondu, ou à comparer des prix sur 15 sites différents. Eh bien figurez-vous que les mecs de Perplexity se sont dit “et si on foutait une IA directement dans le navigateur pour que ça fasse tout ça tout seul ?”.

Kevin Mitnick - le hacker le plus recherché du FBI

Cet article fait partie de ma série de l’été spécial hackers. Bonne lecture !

Imaginez un mec capable de lancer une guerre nucléaire en sifflant dans un téléphone public ? Non, je ne vous parle pas d’un super-vilain de James Bond, mais bien de Kevin Mitnick selon… le FBI américain. Bienvenue dans les années 90, où les juges prenaient au sérieux l’idée qu’un hacker puisse pirater le NORAD à coups de sifflets. Du délire j’vous dis ! Et pourtant, cette absurdité n’est qu’un aperçu de la légende urbaine qu’est devenu Kevin David Mitnick, probablement le hacker le plus fascinant et mal compris de l’histoire de l’informatique.

Scientists create living building material that traps carbon dioxide

Buildings are responsible for a huge share of global carbon emissions, especially during the production of materials like cement. Traditional concrete manufacturing is one of the biggest sources of CO2 worldwide. If we can switch to materials that don’t just stop this but even use CO2 to our advantage, then we can make a big difference in fighting climate change. Imagine a future where our homes and offices not only look beautiful but also help clean the air by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2).

Thanks to a team of scientists at ETH Zurich, that future might be closer than we think. They have developed a remarkable new building material that doesn’t just sit there. It’s actually alive and actively helping the planet. This groundbreaking material is a type of concrete, but with a twist: it contains living bacteria. These aren’t just any bacteria as they are specially chosen because they can turn carbon dioxide from the air into solid minerals. That means while regular concrete actually releases CO2 during its production, this living material absorbs it, helping to reduce greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

Designer: ETH Zurich

Inside the material, millions of bacteria are hard at work. These bacteria are fed a mixture of nutrients, including calcium. When they “eat,” they react with CO2 in the air, producing solid calcium carbonate. This process is similar to how seashells form in nature. Over time, the bacteria help the material grow stronger while trapping more carbon dioxide. The scientists designed their material to be porous, which means it has lots of tiny holes. These holes give bacteria plenty of room to live and work, while also allowing air to pass through so the bacteria can capture CO2 efficiently.

The new living material could be used in walls, floors, or even outdoor structures. Imagine a city full of buildings that quietly soak up CO2 day after day, making the air cleaner for everyone. But the benefits don’t stop there. The production of this living material uses less energy than regular concrete. Plus, the process is designed to be sustainable from start to finish. The bacteria don’t need fancy care—they just need a bit of food and the right conditions to thrive. If a piece of the material breaks, it can even “heal” itself. The bacteria inside can repair small cracks by producing more calcium carbonate, just like how your skin heals a cut. This could help buildings last longer and require less maintenance.

The research team is still working on perfecting their creation. They want to make sure the material is strong enough for real-world use and figure out the best ways to produce it on a large scale. There are also questions about how the bacteria will behave over many years and in different climates. Still, the early results are very promising. This living building material could offer a win-win solution: helping to build the cities of tomorrow while also cleaning up the air today.

EDITOR'S QUOTE:

If you value speed, all-day power, and a futuristic look, the Poco F7 deserves your attention.

It’s become a familiar pattern in the smartphone world as brands now often launch their “Pro” and “Ultra” models before releasing the standard, or “vanilla,” version of a series. This shift can make the regular edition feel like an afterthought and sometimes leaves buyers confused about what really separates each version. The lines between Pro and non-Pro are getting less defined, especially as features and designs often overlap across the whole lineup.

Poco has built its reputation on delivering high-performance phones for gaming enthusiasts and power users, usually at aggressive price points. The new Poco F7 follows that tradition, arriving after its Ultra and Pro siblings launched in March but bringing its own bold style and focus on speed. With performance front and center, the Poco F7 aims to give gamers and demanding users something special, even as the competition between models gets more crowded and complicated. After spending time with all three color variants, here’s how the Poco F7 delivers on that promise.

Designer: POCO

Aesthetics

The Poco F7 looks nothing like the Poco F7 Ultra or Poco F7 Pro, giving it a distinct presence in this year’s F7 series lineup. The Poco F7 is available in three color options, Black, White, and Cyber Silver, all featuring a two-tone design, glass back panels, and metal frames, but with very different visual impact.

The Black and White variants offer a more subtle two-tone effect. On the Black model, the glossy finish is paired with a slightly darker accent, creating a sleek look that feels refined and understated, though it does show fingerprints easily. The White variant features a matte finish that resists smudges and pairs a crisp main shade with a softer, almost pearlescent accent for extra depth.

The Cyber Silver edition is the most distinctive of the three. It features a bold, high-contrast two-tone design, with a glossy metallic lower half and a mechanics-inspired upper section covered in geometric overlays and a prominent Snapdragon logo. This version is unapologetically retro-futuristic and expressive, sure to draw attention, though its dramatic look may not appeal to everyone.

A key visual highlight on all three variants is the camera module. It is an elongated vertical oval set in the upper left corner, with a diagonal divider seamlessly integrated into the frame. This divider, flanked by two vivid green lines, separates the dual camera lenses and injects a pop of unexpected color.

While the green accent adds an energetic, gaming-inspired touch, its purpose is somewhat mysterious and may not fit everyone’s taste. Still, this camera island ensures the Poco F7 is instantly recognizable and reinforces its bold personality.

Ergonomics

The Poco F7’s completely flat display, flat side frame, and curved corners give it an iPhone-like impression at first glance. At 163.1 x 77.9 x 8.2mm and 215.7g, it is a large and fairly hefty phone, which makes one-handed use a challenge, especially for those with smaller hands.

That said, the build quality is nothing to scoff at, with a glass back panel and metal side frame that feel solid and premium in the hand. This sturdy construction not only looks refined but also gives the phone a reassuring sense of durability. The IP68 rating adds peace of mind for accidental splashes or brief drops in water, but the device’s overall heft is always present in daily use.

Both the power and volume buttons are placed on the right side and are easily accessible, though the sheer size of the device may require a stretch for some. The fingerprint scanner sits close to the bottom edge of the display, and while it unlocks quickly, transitioning from unlocking to navigating the interface can feel a bit awkward due to its low placement.

USB-C port and speaker placement are standard at the bottom. The dual-SIM tray, USB-C port, and main speaker are located at the bottom, while the top houses a microphone that also serves as a secondary speaker. The phone wobbles when used on a flat surface because of its camera bump, which can be distracting when tapping or typing on a desk.

Performance

The Poco F7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, which delivers consistently fast and fluid performance for everyday tasks. This chip is part of Qualcomm’s top-tier 8-series family, but it’s designed to make flagship-level speed and efficiency more accessible. In simple terms, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 gives you nearly all the power you’d find in the most expensive Android phones, but at a much friendlier price. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or multitasking, the F7 keeps up without missing a beat.

The 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display is vivid and exceptionally bright, with a tall aspect ratio that is ideal for video streaming, browsing, and gaming. Its impressive color range, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and 3200 nits peak brightness ensure content looks sharp and immersive, even outdoors. TÜV Rheinland certifications and high-frequency PWM dimming help reduce eye fatigue during long viewing sessions. Audio performance is also solid, with the dual speaker system producing clear and well-balanced sound with good volume for games, movies, and music.

The Poco F7 is a strong pick for gamers, handling demanding titles like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty without any stutter or lag. WildBoost Optimization 4.0 is Poco’s dedicated gaming mode that maximizes performance and helps keep gameplay smooth. Visual enhancement features are also available, allowing you to boost frame rates and resolution. This combination means you can play games like Genshin Impact, which are usually limited to 60 frames per second (FPS) on other Android phones, at up to 120 FPS on the F7.

High performance does create heat, especially during long gaming sessions, but Poco addresses this with an advanced cooling system. The F7 includes a 6,000 mm2 3D Dual-Channel IceLoop system, which is the largest Poco has ever used. In real-world use, the phone can still get uncomfortably hot if you are gaming for a long time, although the performance remains stable and responsive without major slowdowns.

Battery life is a strong point, thanks to the 6500mAh cell, and the 90W fast charging means you can get back to 80% in just 30 minutes. Reverse charging at 22.5W is handy for powering up accessories or other devices. As expecged but still disappointing, there is no wireless charging to be found.

The 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS performs well in good lighting, capturing images with pleasing dynamic range and solid detail at 1x. It can digitally zoom up to 10x, and photos at higher zoom levels look surprisingly natural, with restrained processing that avoids the overly sharpened look some rivals produce.

The 8MP ultra-wide camera creates cooler-toned photos with good dynamic range, but distortion is noticeable at the edges. The 20MP front camera is decent for selfies, though it tends to make reds look a bit too saturated, sometimes resulting in an orangish skin tone.

As for video capabilities, the main camera supports up to 4K recording at 60 FPS, delivering sharp and fluid footage suitable for casual clips. In contrast, both the ultra-wide and front-facing cameras are limited to 1080p at 30 FPS, which is serviceable for basic video needs.

The new camera UI makes it easier to access advanced features. Swiping up now reveals modes like Slow motion and Long exposure, which is more convenient than the old side-swiping method. However, the main photo and video interface only provides quick access up to 2x magnification, despite supporting up to 10x for photos and 6x for video. To access higher zoom levels, you need to use the on-screen zoom dial, which can be less intuitive in fast-paced situations.

It would be more user-friendly if dedicated buttons for higher magnifications were available by default. For video specifically, you can initially zoom in up to 2x before hitting the record button, but once recording starts, you can continue zooming up to 6x. This approach may slow you down if you want to quickly capture distant subjects, and a more streamlined zoom interface would benefit users who frequently switch between focal lengths during recording. Hopefully, these interface limitations will be addressed in a future update.

Unfortunately, Poco is also known for including a lot of bloatware, and the F7 is no exception. During the setup process, you are presented with a list of recommended apps, which are selected by default. You have to manually uncheck these recommendations before proceeding, which can be annoying if you prefer a clean start.

Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t a headline feature for the Poco F7, but there are a few things here that help the phone last. Poco doesn’t mention using any recycled or eco-friendly materials in the phone’s build, so if you’re looking for a “green” smartphone, this might not be your top pick.

Where the F7 does shine is in durability and long-term support. It’s rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, so you don’t have to stress about everyday spills or a quick splash at the pool. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, which means it’s built to handle bumps, drops, and scratches better than many budget phones out there.

Perhaps best of all, Poco is promising four years of major Android updates and six years of security patches. This kind of long-term software support is fantastic for a phone in the mid-range category, and it means you can keep your device updated and secure for far longer than most competitors. Even if sustainability isn’t front and center, the F7’s durability and software longevity help it stay out of the landfill for years to come.

Value

The Poco F7 is priced competitively at $399 for the 12GB+256GB model and $449 for the 12GB+512GB version, with early bird deals bringing these down to $339 and $399. At this price point, you get a flagship-level Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display, IP68 water resistance, fast charging, and class-leading software support. It’s rare to find this combination of features bundled together in the global mid-range market.

Notable competitors include the iQoo Neo 10, though it is only available in select markets. If wireless charging or top-tier camera performance is your main priority, you might want to look elsewhere. However, for pure performance and features per dollar, the Poco F7 is tough to beat in the mid-range segment.

Verdict

The Poco F7 stands out by blending flagship-grade performance, a vibrant and expansive display, and reliable battery stamina within a bold, modern design. Its powerful performance, massive display, big battery, and solid build make it a compelling choice for anyone seeking a premium experience without the typical flagship price tag.

While there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the weight and some software quirks, the overall package is hard to beat in its segment. If you value speed, all-day power, and a futuristic look, the Poco F7 deserves your attention.

Midjourney Video Model V1 - L'IA qui fait bouger vos images

La question existentielle qu’on se pose tous avec l’IA générative, c’est quand est-ce qu’on va pouvoir enfin créer des films entiers depuis son canapé ?

Ça tombe bien car Midjourney vient de faire un pas de géant dans cette direction avec le lancement de son modèle vidéo V1, que j’ai pu tester dans tous les sens. Je vous spoile un peu, c’est impressionnant mais pas encore prêt pour les Oscars.

Midjourney a toujours été la référence en génération d’images IA, mais l’équipe avait une vision bien plus large dès le départ. Leur objectif ultime ? Créer des systèmes capables de simuler des mondes 3D en temps réel où vous pourrez vous déplacer, interagir et faire évoluer l’environnement à la volée. Pour y arriver, ils construisent méthodiquement leurs building blocks d’abord les images (ça c’est fait), puis les faire bouger (c’est fait aussi), ensuite la 3D, et enfin le temps réel.

SHADE-Arena - Quand les IA apprennent à nous saborder en douce

J’étais tranquillement en train de lire le dernier papier d’Anthropic avec mon café quand mon chat (Percy) m’a regardé avec son regard de psychopathe, semblant me demander pourquoi j’avais l’air de quelqu’un qui venait de voir un fantôme. La vraie raison, c’est que je viens de découvrir qu’Anthropic testait maintenant comment les IA pouvaient nous mentir en pleine face au travers de leur projet SHADE-Arena. Derrière ce nom un peu barbare se cache en réalité un laboratoire secret pour mesurer les capacités de sabotage de nos assistants virtuels préférés.

Anthropic Cookbook - Claude devient encore plus accessible aux devs

À l’époque, quand on voulait faire de l’IA, fallait un doctorat et 6 mois pour comprendre TensorFlow. Et aujourd’hui ? C’est Claude qui devient enfin accessible au commun des mortels (au moins pour les mortels un peu dev ^^).

L’Anthropic Cookbook, qu’est-ce que c’est exactement ? Eh bien imaginez un bouquin de recettes, mais au lieu de faire des crêpes, vous y apprendrez à transformer Claude en assistant développeur. C’est une collection officielle de notebooks Jupyter qui vous montre comment exploiter Claude dans vos projets sans vous arracher les cheveux.
