🪐 Scaling innovation beyond Earth’s limits
"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.
Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt."
— Cooper, Interstellar (2014)
Hey. I'm Clément — a CS student from Paris who spends too much time thinking about how things work underneath.

a few things I find genuinely fascinating
| ◈ | CERN LHC Computing Grid — 200 PB/year · 170 sites · 42 countries |
| ◈ | Gargantua — Kip Thorne's GR equations, rendered before we had a real photo |
| ◈ | James Webb ST — light from 13.6 billion years ago, at 6 Kelvin |
| ◈ | Linux CFS — O(log n) red-black tree, on every server you've ever used |
| ◈ | Higgs boson — confirmed on 50,000 CPUs across 40 countries in 2012 |
