Se c'è una cosa che definisce Paul Graham, è essere non convenzionale. Una persona all'apparenza molto semplice, un programmatore diventato imprenditore che ha creato Y Combinator, cioè uno dei più importanti incubatori (il cui presidente è stato fino a poco tempo fa Sam Altman). Soprattutto, è un autore: ha scritto un libro fantastico (Hackers and Painters) che ho sempre davanti alla mia scrivania (anche adesso) e una tonnellata di saggi su un vecchio sito tutto fatto con html, molto minimalista.
Le sue idee non sono sempre "buone", anche perché negli anni ha scritto veramente tanto e la qualità cambia ovviamente. Però questo discorso per la Oxford Union su come si possa diventare miliardari in maniera etica (buona parte della politica sostiene che non sia possibile guadagnare così tanti soldi senza fare qualcosa di male) è molto interessante. Parziale, furbo, in qualche modo sbagliato, ma interessante.
Money quote: "How people become rich in your society is one of the most important things to understand about it. You can't let your beliefs about this be determined by ideology, or movies, or historical examples that are centuries old. You must look at the world around you and see how it's actually done. If you want to do it yourself, obviously you'll be forced to understand how it's done. So I don't worry too much about you. The ones I worry about are the future prime ministers. You need to remember this talk. So for you I'm going to summarize the key ideas.
There are two numbers that determine how big a startup gets, and thus how rich its founders become: the growth rate and how long it continues. You get the first by making something users like so much they tell their friends. You get the second by being in a big market. If you grow exponentially into a big market, your startup will become valuable, and you, as a shareholder, will become rich. You not only don't have to cheat to make this happen, it will happen automatically if you just keep making customers happy."

Un consulente in risorse umane vince una causa in un tribunale inglese avvalendosi di un avvocato AI: una prima assoluta nel campo legale e l'inizio di un periodo molto interessante per chi ruota attorno ai tribunali. Ci saranno montagne di cause e pochissimi avvocati coinvolti?
Money quote: "An artificial intelligence law firm has won a case in an English court, in what is believed to be the first time a trial has been won using an AI lawyer.
A freelance HR consultant, Tamires Camal Taquidir, paid the firm, Garfield AI, about £400 to send a legal letter and then issue court proceedings over an unpaid debt of £7,000.
The co-founder of Garfield, Philip Young, called it a “landmark moment” for access to justice and said many small businesses have had to write off debts because the cost of litigation outweighed the money they could hope to win."

Nonostante chi sostiene che il mutamento climatico non esista o non sia legato all'attività degli esseri umani nel pianeta, qui ci sono considerazioni che non dovremmo sottovalutare. Si parla del crash test delle misure di protezione contro le ondate di calore prese dall'Europa. Molto interessante.
Money quote: "And meantime, as greenhouse gas emissions rise, the pace of heat waves keeps accelerating. Of France’s 52 official heat waves since 1947, half have occurred in the past 16 years. “We have adapted, but it is far from enough for what is coming,” said Pierre Masselot, an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
The latest torrid stretch has brought Sahara-like conditions to tourist-filled capitals, with temperatures in parts of Western Europe rising 25 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. In France, several consecutive days will challenge all-time heat records. France put much of the country under red-level alert, meaning the potential of a “strong health impact.”"

Si sta parlando parecchio di Brexit perché i britannici sono nelle peste e ricorre l'anniversario della loro uscita dall'Unione europea. A parte che secondo me questao è stato un bene per le dinamiche interne dell'Unione, per quanto riguarda il senso storico di come stanno andando le cose nel Regno Unito, questo articolo dell'Economist fa un'ottima sintesi.
Money quote: "Luckily for Britain, the world economy is increasingly services-based, an area of comparative British advantage. Britain’s services exports rose in real terms by 47% between 2016 and 2025 (see chart 2). Britain remains consigliere to the world, its legal, engineering and advertising expertise snapped up by sheikhs and tech tycoons. In Sunderland, a new film studio is being built, not far from the national arena for e-sports opening this summer.
But this shift happened despite Brexit. The biggest growth has been in industries with few trade barriers: advertising exports more than doubled between 2015 and 2022. Growth has been slower wherever Brexit erected new frictions (see chart 3). Swati Dhingra, an economist, found that British exports in services with new barriers declined by 16% compared with other trade flows. The City has proved more resilient than many predicted, remaining the world’s second-largest financial centre. Yet the loss of passporting has made it harder to sell services into the eu. Financial and insurance services now constitute 24% of services exports, down from 32% in 2016."

Ondata di caldo: superata la fase iniziale di disorganizzazione, gli effetti negativi sull’economia si misureranno nel medio termine. Nel breve ci sono evidenze piuttosto ambigue, nel medio invece, i conti tornano (anzi, non tornano proprio).
Money quote: "Et les salariés ? Au vu de la torpeur qui peut s’emparer de tout un chacun par plus de 35 degrés sur les lieux de travail, la productivité devrait être moindre. Mais cette observation empirique n’est pas confirmée par les études : si la littérature médicale indique bien que la capacité à réaliser un travail physique chute de 40 % lorsque le thermomètre atteint le cap des 32 degrés, les données utilisées par les économistes ne mettent pas en évidence d’effet sur la productivité du travail.
C’est paradoxalement à plus longue échéance que l’impact des vagues de chaleur apparaît nettement. La BCE, dans sa note de juillet 2025, indique que deux ans après une canicule, l’impact sur l’activité est de 1,5 %. Cet effet retard s’explique par les cycles d’investissement : une entreprise qui cherche à s’adapter à une forte hausse des températures risque de renoncer à d’autres investissements. Quoi qu’il en soit, le réchauffement climatique « produit des effets de plus en plus marqués sur nos économies », insiste Agnès Benassy-Quéré, sous-gouverneure de la Banque de France, dans une note de novembre 2025, citant, en exemple, la stagnation des rendements agricoles en Europe depuis les années 1990 ou la baisse de la disponibilité en eau qui pénalise industrie et production d’énergie."

Un articolo che di solito metterei nella newsletter, non qui. Però, che diavolo, perché no? Come funzionano i pannelli solari, spiegato molto molto tecnico,
Money quote: "Pure silicon is a poor conductor. It has very few free charge carriers in its natural state, so even when photons knock electrons loose, they quickly recombine and nothing particularly useful happens.
The fix is to add imbalance. By introducing trace amounts of impurities into the crystal, roughly one foreign atom per million silicon atoms, you can completely change how it behaves electrically. This process, almost too simple to be true, is called doping.
The solar cells we commonly use are made of a single silicon crystal with two distinct regions side by side. One has a trace of phosphorus mixed in, giving it extra free electrons with nowhere to go: this is the n-type side. The other has a trace of boron, where each boron atom is missing one valence electron, leaving a positively charged vacancy called a hole: this is the p-type side. The foundation of semiconductors is that electrons naturally migrate toward these holes."

Ci sono cose difficili, nella vita. Essere neurodivergenti in Giappone è una di queste.
Money quote: "For neurodivergent adults such as Yosuke, the program — consisting of 20 sessions and aimed at working adults in their 20s and 30s who have received a diagnosis — offers relief that can be difficult to find in Japan, despite increasing demand for such services. The need is especially acute for people who grow up unaware of their traits until they enter the workforce or begin planning their careers.
The center offers several programs for adults with developmental disorders, including one targeting neurodivergent university students and another for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition characterized by forgetfulness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness."

Una mostra su Fidel Castro.
Money quote: "Il percorso espositivo si articola su periodi differenti. La prima sezione isola la dimensione formativa di Castro: gli anni degli studi e le prime azioni rivoluzionarie, dove l’obiettivo fotografico racconta l’uomo ai suoi albori, prima della codificazione ufficiale del leader. A questa parte seguono le immagini dedicate alla liberazione di Cuba, alle grandi riforme strutturali (dall’alfabetizzazione di massa alla riforma agraria) e al complesso legame tra Castro ed Ernesto “Che” Guevara, un rapporto fatto di sintonie e profonde differenze. Lo sguardo si sposta successivamente verso l’icona globale di Castro. Qui il mezzo fotografico testimonia i numerosi incontri con i leader mondiali, fino agli scatti che segnano il disgelo con la Chiesa cattolica, documentato dagli incontri di Castro con tre pontefici: Giovanni Paolo II, Benedetto XVI e Francesco."

La fantascienza è preziosa per la filosofia perché consente di esplorare scenari che vanno oltre la normale esperienza umana, approfondendo i concetti filosofici in modo assai dettagliato. Può inoltre aiutarci a immaginare e a prepararci a potenziali sviluppi futuri, come la creazione di esseri artificiali. Qui ci sono cinque libri e una intervista a un filosofo. Un esempio dei libri: “Stories of Your Life and Others” di Ted Chiang, una raccolta di racconti di fantascienza filosofica veramente straordinaria. Ma c'è molto di più.
Money quote: "A wonderful example of this is Derek Parfit’s work on personal identity. Ordinarily, a person has one body that continues in a specific way over time, permanently connected to one mind that also continues in a specific way over time. There’s a familiar body and a consistent personality. You have memories that move from one moment to the next and experiences that overlap. All of these things go together, and we think of them as constitutive or partly constitutive or somehow involved with or correlated with being a person. In the ordinary run of human experience, these things never come apart. But in science fiction-type thought experiments you can wonder, okay, what would happen if you took someone’s mind, just to put it crudely, and put it in someone else’s body? Would it be the same person? Would the person follow the mind or would they follow the body? What if you stepped into a machine and two duplicates of you walked out? What if you lived 800 years, gradually acquiring a new personality every century and entirely forgetting your past?"

Arriva Mostly Weekly 384. Le macchine parlano benissimo, ma non sudano: il problema è solo questo. E poi: Watchmen, il Bucintoro di Gardini, l'Odissea (ancora!), Tokyo (come sempre) e quell'estate del 1936 che ha cambiato come si vestono gli americani

Insomma, i grandi scrittori russi dell'Ottocento sono una figata. Tosti per i contenuti, lunghi per numero di pagine, ma scrivono da dio e scorrono alla grande. Sort of.
Money quote: "The Russians are hilarious. And the prose is easier to read than Dickens, let alone Joyce. Yes, the content is often difficult, and disturbing. But the prose? The prose is clear as water! English translated from Russian has a glorious clarity, and, I think, an inherent dry wit. It’s totally different from the interminably-meandering frankenparagraphs of, say, Michel de Montaigne."
