The end of the barcode is approaching: what replaces it
Yes, the barcodes that we have been used to for a long time are about to make their revolution. Indeed, the GS1, which standardizes these codes that are so important for retail sales, is in the process of working on a successor. The “GS1 augmented QR code” will allow more information to be included directly in the code – which until now was only a simple identifier, or code, associated with any other data. We tell you more in the article by our journalist Setra.
The development of AI is accelerating, the ChatGPT of finance is coming
The financial site Bloomberg is currently developing a real “ChatGPT of finance”. Called BloombergGPT, this AI aims to deliver rapid information to users of the financial site, in particular the “general sentiment of the markets”, in one short query. The system can also help search financial securities faster, and answer visitors’ financial questions directly, saving visitors valuable time. BloombergGPT is still in closed beta, but the system could eventually revolutionize market access for small amateur investors.
What changed on April 20 for aid for the purchase of an electric bike
Some will be more affected than others by the announcement: but some assistance for the purchase of an electric bicycle has actually changed since April 20, 2023. This concerns in particular the assistance available for residents of Île-de- France. And it is rather good news: the conditions of allocation are relaxed and the aid will now be combined with other aid depending on the situation. In addition, professionals will be able to benefit from assistance to buy a cargo bike (for transporting goods) – if the bike is intended for professional use.

Big Lebowski, Donnie Darko, A Clockwork Orange… our journalist Jean-Yves Alric has compiled a list of 5 cult films that caused rivers of ink to flow when they were released.
