Vous savez ce moment où vous regardez votre historique Git et vous vous demandez qui est le débile qui a écrit ce code dégueulasse ?

Ah bah ouais, c’était vous il y a 3 mois ^^. Eh bien GitType a trouvé la meilleure des thérapies qui est de vous faire retaper tout ça, lettre par lettre, comme une punition de primaire version développeur, totalement gamifiée avec des points, un chrono, et la possibilité de mesurer à quel point vos doigts sont devenus flasques depuis que Copilot fait tout le boulot à votre place.

Le tagline du projet, c’est “Show your AI who’s boss: just you, your keyboard, and your coding sins”. Et c’est pas une blague, c’est un manifeste car pendant que Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code et compagnie écrivent du code à notre place, GitType vous fait faire exactement l’inverse… il vous force à retaper du code pour redevenir bon !

Et contrairement aux tests de frappes classiques comme Ttyper ou tt qui vous font taper du texte générique, GitType utilise du VRAI code source. Votre code, celui de vos repos préférés, ou des repos trending de GitHub. Comme ça, vous ne vous entraînez pas sur du “ the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ” à la con, mais sur vos propres merdes spaghettico-syntaxiques en Rust, TypeScript, Python ou Go.

Le jeu vous propose plusieurs modes. Y’a le mode Normal pour vous échauffer tranquillement, le Time Attack quand vous voulez vous mettre la pression, et des niveaux de difficulté de Easy à Zen pour ceux qui veulent méditer en tapant du code. Le tout avec un tracking en temps réel de votre WPM (words per minute) et de votre précision. Comme ça, plus vous progressez, plus vous montez dans le ranking avec des titres de développeur qui évoluent.

Vous avez un site WordPress et vous voulez ajouter de l’IA dedans ?

Alors pour faire ça, vous installez un super plugin qui utilise ChatGPT. Parfait ! Sauf que 2 mois après, vous découvrez l’existence d’un nouvelle version de Claude qui est bien meilleure. Ou Gemini sort une fonctionnalité que vous voulez absolument..

Mais bon, votre plugin est marié avec OpenAI, et impossible de divorcer. Du coup, vous êtes coincé. Bienvenue dans le grand bordel de l’IA, où chaque outil parle sa propre langue et refuse de discuter avec les autres.

Heureusement, WordPress vient de sortir un truc qui pourrait bien changer tout ça. En gros, ils ont créé trois outils qui fonctionnent ensemble pour transformer WordPress en “traducteur universel” pour les IA. Ça s’appelle l’Abilities API, le PHP AI Client SDK, et le support du MCP (Model Context Protocol).

D’après l’annonce officielle sur Make WordPress , l’idée c’est donc de créer un registre central où toutes les capacités de WordPress sont décrites de manière lisible par les machines. Jonathan Bossenger explique que l’Abilities API ne se limite pas à découvrir les capacités du site, mais gère aussi les permissions et l’exécution de manière sécurisée. Votre site peut dire à une IA “Voilà ce que je sais faire, voilà ce que tu peux toucher, et voilà comment tu exécutes ça”.

// N'importe quel plugin peut enregistrer ses capacités avec le hook `init`.

The humble pencil gets no respect. We lose them constantly, treat them as disposable afterthoughts, and rarely think about their environmental impact. Most office supplies exist in this weird limbo between necessary and forgettable, serving their purpose without adding any joy to our daily routines.

The Qui Magnetic Pencil System by PQ Design and Ozio challenges this throwaway mentality entirely. This isn’t just another writing tool but a thoughtfully engineered system that transforms how we interact with something as basic as putting pencil to paper.

Designer: Piero Quintiliani (PQ Design) x Ozio

PQ Design built Qui around a simple but profound question: how can a pencil become a constant, valued companion rather than a disposable object? Their answer combines meaningful innovation with the belief that the smallest gestures often matter most.

The foundation starts with a recycled paper pencil made entirely from post-consumer waste. This sounds like it might feel cheap or flimsy, but the engineering is surprisingly sophisticated. The paper body performs exactly like traditional wood while avoiding the environmental cost of harvesting trees.

The tactile experience feels genuinely pleasant. The surface has a subtle texture that’s comfortable to grip during long writing sessions. The lightweight feel reduces hand fatigue, and there’s zero risk of splintering like you sometimes get with wooden pencils.

A colorful magnetic clip attaches to the pencil body, serving as both visual accent and functional anchor point. This small component transforms how you store and retrieve your writing tool, creating a satisfying snap when docking or undocking from magnetic surfaces.

The system includes a discreet adhesive steel disk that can be mounted anywhere you need quick pencil access. Stick it on your monitor, notebook cover, desk edge, or wall. The disk blends into its environment while ensuring your pencil stays exactly where you left it.

This transforms the entire experience of using a pencil. No more rummaging through drawers or losing track of your writing tool. The magnetic connection means your pencil is always anchored and ready, turning retrieval into a small moment of satisfaction rather than frustration.

The modularity adds practical value, too. Individual components can be replaced or updated without discarding the whole system. The colorful clips let you personalize your setup, while the replaceable pencil bodies extend the system’s useful life indefinitely.

Qui represents something bigger than just better stationery. It’s about bringing mindfulness and intentionality to the tools we use every day. The satisfying click of the magnetic connection, the pleasant feel of the recycled paper body, and the visual pop of color all contribute to making writing feel more deliberate and enjoyable. This design shows that even something as simple as a pencil can be reengineered to foster sustainability, reduce waste, and bring genuine delight to everyday moments.

There have been numerous studies conducted and articles written on how much food is wasted every day in the U.S. alone. Creative thinkers are developing innovative ways to prevent this waste from ending up in landfills, going beyond traditional methods like composting, reusing, or turning scraps into animal feed. It would also be great if the solutions they develop could be useful in our everyday lives.

Now imagine turning your banana peels, coffee grounds, and vegetable scraps into useful household items instead of throwing them away. That’s exactly what MIT graduates Yiqing Wang and Biru Cao have made possible with their groundbreaking invention, the Foodres.AI 3D printer. This innovative desktop device represents a completely new approach to dealing with food waste by transforming organic waste into functional objects.

Designers: Yiqing Wang and Biru Cao

The technology works through a combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing. Users simply place their food waste into the machine, and the accompanying mobile app uses AI to analyze the materials through the phone’s camera. The system uses a self-trained object detection model to identify food types and assess their printability, then suggests appropriate “print recipes” based on the physical properties of your waste materials. The printer can create a wide variety of useful items from your kitchen scraps. Users can print cup holders, coasters, decorative items, and custom designs by simply dropping in food waste and selecting the desired form and size. The built-in material processing module helps users mix waste with natural additives to form a printable bioplastic paste, making the entire process seamless and accessible.

What makes this printer particularly user-friendly is its intuitive design that requires no prior 3D printing experience. The app provides a library of design templates, and users can also upload their own custom models. Once you’ve selected your desired object and size, the printer’s custom three-axis extrusion system converts your scraps into something useful. The environmental impact potential is significant, as food waste accounts for up to 50 percent of household organic refuse in the United States. The project began as part of research supported by the MIT IDEAS program, addressing the fact that 40-50% of household food is wasted before it ends up in landfills or compost bins. By enabling people to repurpose non-edible leftovers and organic matter into functional items at home, the Foodres.AI printer promotes what the creators call “hyper-local circular economies.”

Beyond its practical applications, the Foodres.AI printer represents a shift in how we think about waste. Instead of viewing food scraps as something to be disposed of, this technology encourages users to see them as raw materials for creation. By making sustainable behavior interactive, creative, and rewarding, the product builds a community-driven culture of eco-consciousness. As concerns about environmental sustainability continue to grow, innovations like the Foodres.AI printer offer practical solutions that individuals can implement in their own homes, making circular living both achievable and engaging for the average person.

Google vient de sortir Gemini CLI, un outil qui va vous permettre de transformer votre terminal en assistant IA surpuissant grâce à toute la puissance de Gemini. Plus besoin d’ouvrir 36 onglets dans votre navigateur ou de jongler entre différentes interfaces. Tout se passe dans votre terminal préféré, comme au bon vieux temps où on faisait tout en mode texte (ah, la nostalgie du DOS…).

Ce qui est vraiment sympa avec cet outil, c’est qu’il peut analyser des bases de code entières avec un contexte allant jusqu’à 1 million de tokens !! Et attention, c’est pas juste un chatbot de plus qui fait semblant de comprendre votre code, non, un peu comme Claude Code, c’est un truc qui peut vraiment explorer votre architecture, implémenter des features à partir d’issues GitHub, et même générer des applications complètes à partir d’un simple PDF ou d’un croquis.

Vous savez ce qui est plus fort qu’un hacker qui vous demande de cliquer sur un lien louche ? Un hacker qui n’a même pas besoin que vous cliquiez !

EchoLeak, la nouvelle vulnérabilité de Microsoft 365 Copilot, prouve qu’en matière d’IA, on n’a pas fini de découvrir des trucs qui font froid dans le dos, du genre notre assistant virtuel préféré qui peut devenir une balance sans même qu’on s’en rende compte.

Je ne suis pas nerd de l’impression 3D même si j’adore ma Bambulab parce qu’elle fonctionne à tous les coups sans me demander 3h de réglages. Et je sais aussi reconnaitre quand une idée est cool et c’est le cas ici avec cette imprimante 3D qui utilise un tapis de course comme plateau, ce qui lui permet d’imprimer de longues pièces.

On appelle ça une imprimante à bande et dans le commerce c’est vendu par exemple par Creality pour un peu plus de mille euros… Mais la faire soi-même avec du matériel de sport, c’est quand même plus cool. Surtout quand on trouve des tapis de course sur Leboncoin à 50 balles, abandonnés par leurs propriétaires après trois sessions de cardio et une prise de conscience que Netflix et les M&M’s c’est quand même bien plus sympa que de transpirer.

Even though a lot of coffee shops offer discounts if you bring your own mug or tumbler when you buy from them, there’s still a lot of disposable plastic cups that go to waste, staying in landfills for decades. Since people will still probably continue using them, we need to find a way to be able to properly recycle of this particular kind of waste.

Loop is a concept for a 3D printer that will be able to do just that. It actually looks like a coffee maker or a water storage device but its function is to actually turn those plastic cups to create scrubbers that can also be used at the cafes. Therefore it really lives up to its name as it creates a sustainable circulation structure.

The 3D printer melts the plastic cups that you put in it by grinding them into small particles. They are heated to turn them into a “soft and malleable state” then cooled to solidify. They are then extruded into the desired filament shapes for printing. The scrubbers can then be used in washing dishes at the cafe.

The suggestion of the product designers is for cafes to use this to incentivize their customers into returning the plastic cups instead of just throwing it. It would be interesting to see if something like this can actually change consumer behavior.

Global warming has been ongoing for years, with its most pronounced effects felt in the Arctic, where rapid ice melting disrupts climate patterns worldwide. Project ARCSTAR proposes a biocomposite structure made from biowaste materials to cool Arctic waters and support ice formation. This initiative aims to mitigate ice loss by lowering water temperatures and using sustainable materials like sulfur-free lignin and calcium carbonate. While promising as a short-term measure, ARCSTAR highlights the need for broader, systemic shifts toward sustainability to address the root causes of climate change effectively.

Designer: Dutch Docklands

Coastal communities are on the front lines of climate change, facing rising sea levels. In response, architects are pioneering solutions like the Maldives Floating City (MFC), a sustainable urban project planned near Male. Designed by Dutch Docklands, MFC features a modular, floating layout inspired by Brain coral, anchored to barrier islands to mitigate sea-level rise impacts. This innovative city aims to blend green technology with residential and commercial spaces, setting a precedent for future climate-resilient urban development worldwide.

2. Greenhouse Emissions

Strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include promoting renewable energy, low-carbon fuels, and LEED-certified green buildings that save 20-30% more energy than conventional ones. Oslo a leading green city in Norway, leads in recycling, public transport, clean air, and renewable energy. Singapore uses smart planning to harness solar energy for housing and integrates artificial wetlands to maintain ecological balance.

Designer: Stanford Research Team

Stanford University researchers have developed innovative, eco-friendly paints that regulate indoor temperatures by reflecting sunlight and infrared radiation. These paints, including colors like orange, yellow, blue, and white, reduce the need for air conditioning by managing heat absorption and retention. Their dual-layer design utilizes infrared-reflective aluminum flakes and infrared-transparent nanoparticles to achieve significant energy savings—36% less heating in cold conditions and 21% less cooling in warm conditions—compared to traditional methods. This breakthrough addresses the substantial energy consumption and environmental impact of heating and cooling systems, offering a sustainable solution for buildings and urban environments worldwide.

3. Air and Water Pollution

Increased vehicles and traffic cause air pollution, while untreated factory sewage leads to water contamination. Beijing combats air pollution with strict vehicle quotas and reduced coal use to lower harmful PM2.5 levels. In the UK, the Broads Waterways face phosphorus pollution, damaging water plants. Cleanup methods like phosphate stripping and suction dredging are being explored.

Designer: Wang Hong Min

Each bubble features three layers: a helium-filled outer layer for mobility, a reusable filtering layer using patented TPA technology, and a wind-powered recharging motor. These self-illuminating bubbles purify air as they float, extracting minerals from pollutants and contributing to improved air and water quality in urban environments. Positioned strategically, Pure Bubble aims to mitigate the health impacts of air pollution and support global efforts in environmental sustainability.

Designers: Lucy Zakharova and Ted Lu

Designers Lucy Zakharova and Ted Lu propose ‘En·cap·su·lat·ing’, a revolutionary project aimed at addressing ocean pollution. This initiative involves deploying a network of five dynamic capsules made from plastic waste sourced from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, spanning 1.6 million square kilometers. Each capsule operates at different ocean depths, moving cyclically with floating plastic islands to evenly distribute their cleaning efforts. Beyond pollution mitigation, these capsules serve as research hubs, monitoring deep-sea conditions and biodiversity impacts, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable environmental solutions to safeguard marine ecosystems.

4. Depleting Water Table

Rapid urbanization strains city infrastructure and depletes water tables. Cities respond with alternative water sourcing, rainwater harvesting, and vertical farming, alongside public education to change water usage habits. Comprehensive water management integrates fresh water, rain, storm, and wastewater. China’s Sponge Cities use permeable surfaces and green spaces to capture, filter, and store water, reducing floods and promoting reuse, enhancing climate resilience.

Designer: Hydraloop Systems BV

Hydraloop is a compact water recycling system that fits seamlessly into any home or building and its technology recycles up to 95% of shower and bath water, reducing reliance on fresh water and lowering sewage emissions. Designed for ease of installation and operation, Hydraloop systems clean and disinfect water using a six-step process without chemicals, making it safe for non-potable uses like toilet flushing and irrigation. By conserving water and lowering energy costs, Hydraloop supports sustainable living and contributes to global efforts in water conservation and climate action.

5. Plastic and Waste Disposal

Cities combatting plastic pollution emphasize waste reduction through recycling and composting. Urban areas contribute significantly to marine plastic debris, threatening ecosystems and human health. Quezon City, Philippines, innovates with a “cash for trash” program exchanging recyclables for environmental credits. The Maldives transitions to a circular economy, enhancing waste management with sustainable infrastructure and optimized collection systems to create valuable products from recycled plastics.

Designer: Clear Drop

The Soft Plastic Compactor (SPC) is designed for homes and small buildings to address the accumulation of plastic bags and other soft plastics. Resembling a kitchen appliance, it compresses these plastics into bricks for easy transportation to recycling centers. Simple to use, it turns plastic waste into solid cubes bound by melted plastic, facilitating their handling and recycling. Clear Drop, the manufacturer, ensures collaboration with recycling facilities to safely break down these bricks without emitting harmful fumes, making the SPC a practical solution for sustainable waste management at home.

Cities tackling global challenges require cooperation among governments, businesses, civil society, and residents for sustainable development. Effective climate change adaptation includes increasing tree cover and preserving green spaces to enhance the quality of life, absorb carbon emissions, mitigate urban heat islands, and provide natural flood protection.
