Dans l'épisode de cette semaine, la hausse des coûts de voyage, service médiocre et gros pourboires obligatoires. On discute aussi des deux événements marquants de importants qui ont fait des vagues cette semaine : l'effondrement de SVB et le lancement sans fanfare de GPT-4. Nous aussi rendons hommage au regretté Dick Fosbury, qui a révolutionné le saut en hauteur avec son emblématique "Fosbury Flop". De plus, on évoque le cas curieux de Thomas Midgley Jr., l'homme responsable de deux des erreurs les plus importantes de l'histoire. Enfin, un concept simple mais puissant qui peu sauver votre mariage.
