Yann Le Cun - Apprentissage profond et au-delà : les nouveaux défis de l'IA
Yann explains how we moved from Convolutional Networks to Transformers (current LLMs), and finally toward learning in the physical world (physical models such as JEPA). This was during a talk in France at the École Polytechnique des Ponts et Chaussées.
Two years after the Parrot AR.Drone, I discovered a brand that was just starting out and had released its first consumer drone: the DJI Phantom V1. The jump from Parrot to DJI was impressive from a technical standpoint.
It was also in 2014 that I began my FPV journey with the FatShark brand, where I discovered helical antennas.
Just for fun, I once tried tracking a car driving at 30 km/h over several meters while filming in mid-air.
Funny times 🎪
Back in February 2013, I modified the Wi-Fi radio on the first-generation Parrot AR.Drone. Its original range was about 20 to 30 meters, and I managed to push it to 800 meters in line-of-sight conditions.
I also used a TP-Link router and a Nexus 7 tablet released in 2012, where I replaced the internal Wi-Fi antenna with a UFL connector in order to attach a 9 dBi TP-Link directional antenna. Later, I upgraded to a 19 dBi antenna from the Polish brand ITElite, and I was able to reach a range of 1,500 meters.
With a fairly active community in the United States, I also met Garrock, a radio-frequency engineer who kindly sent me his 2.4 GHz antenna prototype, designed specifically for the AR.Drone.

Back in 2007, using my PlayStation 3, I was able to take part in a research system focused on proteins and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The PS3’s CPU power could be used for calculations, and the results were then sent to the Folding@home cloud. Looking back, the project was incredibly ahead of its time.
PS3 specs :
CPU : Cell Broadband Engine 3,2 GHz (90 nm)
Single PS3 calcul power : 200 GFLOPS
Network : 1 million consoles connected to the grid
PS3 grid power : ~650 TFLOPS

I wanted to test the implementation of the llms.txt file at the root of my website, and apparently, it (maybe?) paid off. ChatGPT 5 is able to mention my site regarding the setup of Incus on Arch Linux with ZFS. There’s a good understanding of what this LLMS.TXT file is and why it might become important in the not-so-distant future. Apparently, the name would be GEO.
In any case, I coded a Python script that converts all my articles into Markdown and uploads them as follows:**

A good article written by the Publii team about llms.txt. I like their approach to the web — it’s done by the book, with excellent optimization, etc.

- Claude Sonnet 4.5 tackles the heavy stuff: backend logic, deep reasoning, the big brain work.
- Claude Haiku 4.5 handles the light and fun tasks: CSS touch-ups, small frontend JS tweaks, and text wrangling. Plus, it’s super fast and uses way fewer credits, which is awesome.
הצלחת ישראל בתחום המידע והסייבר נשענת הן על גורמים חברתיים והן על גורמים תרבותיים. השירות הצבאי החובה, החינוך המתקדם במדעים ואקוסיסטם הסטארט-אפים מטפחים יצירתיות והיגיון. במקביל, לימוד התורה והתלמוד מפתח חשיבה אנליטית ויכולת להתמודד עם מערכות סמליות מורכבות – כישורים הקרובים לאלה הנדרשים בתכנות ובקריפטוגרפיה.
