Il problema dell'AI non è la sicurezza. Quello è fumo negli occhi. Il problema è dove si sposta la catena del valore. Negli USA sono aziende private, che prenderanno fette importanti del valore prodotto in UE. Meglio allearsi con l'open source cinese e tenerle qui! #DeepSeek

Another Russian ballistic missile attack came in several waves overnight, and once again, there was no early warning from our partners. They again targeted energy facilities and infrastructure, but a medical clinic, a school, a metro station, and ordinary residential buildings were also damaged. In total, the Russians launched 16 ballistic missiles in a deliberate attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. The Russians also launched more than 200 drones of various types, including jet-powered “shaheds,” with attacks spanning from the Kharkiv and Dnipro regions to the Volyn, Rivne, and Odesa regions. Sadly, there are casualties. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Those who were injured are receiving assistance. Overnight and this morning, Russia attacked energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa, and Rivne regions. In this one night alone, more than 10 energy infrastructure facilities were damaged, and the lights went out for at least 550,000 families. Repair crews are working at the sites.
Ukraine never wanted this war, and we have welcomed literally EVERY attempt by our partners to bring this war to a dignified end. We have responded positively to EVERY ceasefire proposal. Russia's response, time and again, has been ballistic missiles, “shaheds,” and killings. Putin not only doesn't want to end this war – he doesn't even want to take any steps toward de-escalation. EVERY ONE of our partners has experienced this firsthand when they heard Russia's refusals. And it is crucial to call things what they are. To call the aggressor an aggressor and help Ukraine defend lives. When deliveries of missiles for Ukraine's air defense are blocked while Russia is granted relief or delays in sanctions, this is, unfortunately, a denial of reality on the part of our partners. The reality is that the war continues, and it continues solely because of Russian strikes and Russia's desire to drag this war out. I thank everyone who recognizes this reality and helps Ukraine!

BREAKING: Ukraine has carried out the world’s first medical evacuation of a human via a drone from the battlefield the 30th mechanised brigade of Ukraine managed to save their injured comrade from a minefield.
Just absolutely insane.

US, Russia, and Israel appear to be coordinating against Europe and Canada, and it is clearly escalating. Trump & Netanyahu face being declawed in a few weeks. We must remain calm and resolute, do not give in to their provocations and destabilisation attempts. Together strong.

So the US is now going to attack Europe, with aim of forcing them into using Musk's products that at any moment can be handed to the Kremlin's whims.
The @GOP is going to be destroyed in these midterms. It's all insane.
According to the Financial Times, the US ambassador to the EU has threatened severe economic consequences if Europe gives preference to its own satellite communications companies.
At the same time, the US administration is restricting Starlink and Starshield services in Ukraine, even though European countries are paying for some of these services.
It's a remarkably consistent policy: make your allies dependent on American technology, then threaten them economically when they try to reduce that dependence.
The EU is already in a very difficult position. Its economy is struggling, and the Russian military threat is becoming increasingly real, with Russian drone attacks now reaching EU territorial waters.
And instead of helping its European allies become stronger, Washington is threatening them for trying to become less dependent on it.

The only problem I have with the Ukrainians burning down Russian data centers and refineries is that they haven't burned down enough of them yet.
Mistral sta introducendo una serie di modelli fuori dal coro, ma molto utili in tanti casi specifici – at Lignano Sabbiadoro, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Après ML4, Mistral a sorti un modèle qui ne fait pas trop parlé. Je l'ai fait tourner sur ma machine pour voir s'il tient ses promesses.
Timestral, sorti le 15 octobre, ne génère pas de texte : il prévoit la suite d'une série de chiffres. Vous lui donnez trois semaines de consommation électrique, de température ou de charge serveur, il vous renvoie les prochaines heures avec une fourchette d'incertitude. Il existe en quatre tailles, de 5M à 209M paramètres, et le plus gros pèse 837 Mo. Il tourne sans GPU et s'utilise directement sur vos données, sans réentraînement.
À quoi ça sert concrètement ? Partout où des chiffres arrivent en continu sans équipe data pour les modéliser. Mistral cite les usines qui surveillent leurs capteurs pour repérer une machine qui dérive, la finance, l'énergie, la logistique, la supervision de serveurs. Un modèle qui répond en quelques dizaines de millisecondes sur un CPU s'installe là où personne ne mettrait un GPU.
Le cas qui me parle le plus, c'est celui des agents. Demander à un LLM de lire 2 000 points pour deviner la suite, c'est lent et peu fiable. Lui donner Timestral comme outil, c'est différent : l'agent demande une prévision, regarde si la mesure réelle sort de la fourchette, et tient un détecteur d'anomalie en une fraction de seconde. C'est exactement l'exemple que Mistral montre, avec une pompe industrielle.
Pour nous, le premier usage s'est présenté pendant que je le testais. Ma machine était saturée : swap plein, charge à 40 pour 32 cœurs, et 13 processus déjà tués faute de mémoire. Prévoir la charge du homelab pour l'heure qui vient, et prévenir avant que ça déborde, c'est pile le genre de tâche que Timestral peut faire en local, gratuitement. Même chose pour nos agents, qui gagneraient un vrai outil de prévision au lieu de lire des colonnes de chiffres.
Reste à savoir si ça tient. Mistral annonce deux choses : la première place des modèles pré-entraînés sur les benchmarks de référence, et 140 ms par prévision sur un simple CPU. J'ai voulu vérifier les deux.
Sur mon Evo, un Ryzen AI Max+ 395 sans GPU, le plus gros modèle met 218 ms dans le cas décrit par Mistral, et le plus petit 44 ms. C'est un peu plus que les chiffres annoncés, ce que la saturation de la machine suffit à expliquer. L'ordre de grandeur est bon, et c'est plus de deux fois plus rapide que Chronos-Bolt d'Amazon à taille comparable.
Pour la précision, j'ai relancé moi-même 14 tâches du benchmark fev-bench avec le même code que les résultats publiés. J'obtiens exactement les mêmes scores, au chiffre près. Sur le classement complet, Timestral est bien premier des modèles utilisables tels quels, avec une avance assez faible sur ses poursuivants, dont TimesFM-3 de Google. Le plus intéressant pour moi, c'est la version 28M : sept fois plus petite, elle passe quand même devant Chronos-2 d'Amazon. Pour la plupart des usages, je partirais sur celle-là.
Seul bémol, la licence : les poids sont libres, sauf pour les entreprises au-delà de 20 millions de dollars de chiffre d'affaires mensuel.

Perché ' A.I. sarà devastante?
Perché in un'azienda tradizionale europea il rapporto tra dipendente e fatturato è circa 250.000 €/dipendente.
In USA è poco di più.
In OpenAI è 5,6 milioni di $ /dipendente, in Anthropic 9 milioni di $/dipendente

This is a huge scandal: The campaign of Brazil's far-right, US-backed presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro paid a US company that sells an AI system for manipulating elections.
Bolsonaro's right-wing party also paid the US company, which maps voters and makes fake social media accounts to spread disinformation online targeting crucial voters.
This revelation comes after Meta admitted that it censored the accounts of left-wing candidate Lula da Silva and promoted Bolsonaro on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré stood before his nation and spoke a truth that had been buried for over a thousand years. He named the Arab slave trade. Not in whispers. Not in academic papers. But in a televised address, to a country that is overwhelmingly Muslim.
"The people came, first the Arab-Muslim conquests. That is over a thousand years of slavery in Africa," he said. He spoke of men castrated so they could not father children. He named the year 1962, when the last slave market closed in Medina. He refused to let silence protect a historical crime.
This was not an attack on Islam. Traoré is a Muslim himself. This was an act of reckoning. He was saying what the entire continent had been afraid to say: that Africa was enslaved by two systems, and only one of them is allowed to be remembered. The West's crime is taught in schools. The East's crime is erased.
The reaction was swift and fierce. Gulf states condemned him. Some clerics called it Islamophobic. But Traoré pressed forward. He announced that Burkina Faso would recall hundreds of students studying Sharia law abroad, warning that some returned with teachings incompatible with national unity. He declared the state secular, and no religious law—Islamic or otherwise—would govern it.
Why does this matter? Because the Sahel is burning. Jihadist groups are recruiting with a distorted version of faith, and that distortion has been imported and funded from outside Africa for centuries. By naming the Arab slave trade, Traoré severed the spiritual authority that foreign clerics have held over African Muslims. He asked a question that should echo across the continent: "Are we cursed?" His answer was no. Africa was not cursed. Africa was conquered, colonized, and enslaved by two different powers. And the only way to break free is to name it, teach it, and refuse to let it be silenced.

Ucrania lanzó anoche un ataque masivo con drones de largo alcance contra San Petersburgo y la región de Leningrado. El golpe alcanzó la terminal petrolera de la ciudad y e data center principal de la empresa VKontakte, la principal empresa de Internet rusa, además de provocar incendios en varios distritos.
Según las autoridades regionales, las defensas rusas derribaron decenas de drones. Las restricciones nocturnas en el aeropuerto de Púlkovo demoraron o cancelaron al menos 46 vuelos.
La terminal petrolera, con capacidad de unos 12,5 millones de toneladas anuales, es un nodo central para mover combustibles por el Báltico y abastecer también a la flota fantasma que exporta crudo ruso. El impacto inmediato fue limitado a parte de las instalaciones, pero la repetición de ataques eleva los costos de defensa, reparación y seguros.
El golpe al centro de datos de VK amplió el efecto más allá del sector energético y complementa los anteriores a los data centers de Yandex en Sasovo, Kaluga y Vladími. El servicio de VKontakte supera los 95 millones de usuarios activos mensuales y presta servicios de comunicación, video y acceso a plataformas públicas.
Esta infraestructura es considerada un pilar de la soberanía digital del Kremlin, consolidada como una superaplicación estatal controlada de forma indirecta por el gigante Gazprom poco antes del bloqueo de plataformas occidentales en el año 2022.
Lejos de ser un simple servidor de entretenimiento, este nodo en San Petersburgo integra sistemas de educación, salud y el esquema de gobierno electrónico ruso, al tiempo que sirve como canal muchas veces obligatorio para las comunicaciones de la administración pública y como una herramienta masiva de vigilancia y monitoreo social coordinada con el Servicio Federal de Seguridad.
NetBlocks registró que el tráfico de la plataforma cayó al 56 % de su nivel habitual: una baja aproximada del 44 %. Aunque una red distribuida puede redirigir parte de la carga, una caída de esa magnitud indica pérdida de capacidad o congestión severa.
El análisis estratégico es claro: Ucrania está atacando nodos con efectos múltiples. Un solo golpe puede interrumpir logística, servicios digitales, inteligencia artificial y sistemas estatales. Las consecuencias a largo plazo para el ecosistema digital ruso se perfilan críticas, debido a que la reposición del hardware destruido se enfrenta a las estrictas sanciones internacionales que prohíben la importación de microchips avanzados y servidores occidentales de última generación.
El frente energético también tiene impacto militar. El depósito Ruchyi puede almacenar 114.000 metros cúbicos de combustibles y abastece transporte pesado y ferroviario del Distrito Militar de Leningrado.
La terminal de San Petersburgo y otros puertos bálticos sostienen exportaciones de crudo y derivados, incluidas cargas transportadas por la “flota sombra”. Atacarlos reduce ingresos, congestiona rutas alternativas y presiona el abastecimiento interno.
La ofensiva también debilitó la tregua energética impulsada por Trump. Rusia nunca le prestó atención al pedido y continuó atacando instalaciones ucranianas. Kiev había advertido que respondería si Rusia seguía atacando su infraestructura. El fin de la secuencia era previsible.
El trasfondo económico es relevante: Rusia aspiraba a exportar entre 3 y 3,5 millones de toneladas de diésel por mes hacia fin de 2026, más del 10 % del mercado mundial. Dañar terminales y refinerías reduce esa capacidad y limita las divisas disponibles para financiar la guerra. El incendio directo en sus tanques de almacenamiento e infraestructura de bombeo no destruye la terminal por completo, pero congela el 100% de sus operaciones de carga de manera temporal por protocolos de emergencia y extinción de incendios.
Dado que el complejo portuario de San Petersburgo absorbe una parte sustancial de los destilados limpios destinados a Europa occidental (vía transbordos) y el Atlántico, la inoperatividad de este punto de carga reduce la capacidad logística inmediata de exportación de diésel de Rusia en aproximadamente un 15% a 20% durante las semanas que duren las reparaciones. Incluye acuerdos mas recientes. Si, los mas recientes.
En otro orden de cosas, el secretario de estado Marco Rubio confirmó que por ahora el servicio de Starshield no está operando en Ucrania. Tampoco fue habilitado para guiar a los drones ucranianos sobre territorio ruso, de manera que no fue usado en el ataque de ayer. No, no es un salto abrupto de tema.
Pulizia etnica orgogliosamente conclamata. Criminali. – at Lignano Sabbiadoro, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon:
Look at what is happening in Lebanon.
Today, more than 60 villages in southern Lebanon, beginning with those adjacent to the border, and beyond that, throughout the entire security zone up to the Yellow Line, an area of 700 square kilometers, are destroyed.
All the villages have been wiped out. Twenty-three thousand houses, all destroyed, demolished.
I am not even talking about what is underground, about the tunnels. Everything has been destroyed.
There are no residents there. Two hundred thousand residents are outside.
This is the Gaza model. And this is the model we are implementing.

Lo dico fin da subito: se il 3 novembre i repubblicani perderanno sia la Camera che il Senato, questa diventerà la mia foto di profilo e non me ne frega niente se perderò la "spunta blu".
Certo, il nemico è la Russia di Putin e non il GOP, ma se "TRUMP" vuole fare guerra politica contro tutti, avrà la guerra e si dovrà aspettare anche "colpi bassi".
