La Lanterna non è più il simbolo di Genova, l'email settimanale di L'Unica - Genova
L'intelligenza artificiale di Google ha privato la Lanterna del primato assoluto, definendola «uno dei» simboli e non più «il» simbolo del capoluogo ligure, anche perché probabilmente lo è sempre meno nella testa dei genovesi.
Nel logo della prossima adunata nazionale degli Alpini che si terrà a Genova dall’8 al 10 maggio 2026, la Lanterna appare stilizzata proprio accanto alla inevitabile penna nera, ma alla sua base è raffigurata pure la Biosfera del Porto Antico, disegnata dalla matita di Renzo Piano

No Donations for Days 💔 Winter Is Coming
There have been no donations for days… and winter is almost here. We’re still sleeping under the open sky with nothing to keep us warm. They announced a ceasefire, but the bombing hasn’t stopped, and our suffering continues.
All I want is to protect my family — to buy a tent, warm clothes, and some food. Every night, I watch my family shiver from the cold, and it breaks my heart.
Your donations can save us from the freezing nights and hunger. Please, don’t let us face this winter alone. 💔
🕊️ Your kindness can bring us warmth, safety, and hope.

Over 100 police officers investigated after 30,000 breath tests falsified
More than 100 police officers are under investigation after 30,000 alcohol breath tests were "falsely or erroneously recorded", RNZ can reveal."From the audit which covered over 4.6 million breath tests performed between 1 July 2024 and 17 August 2025, the initial analysis suggested there were tests conducted that were simulated without the involvement of a driver.
The audit indicated that some staff had recorded breath screening tests that hadn't occurred.
Johnson said that despite this, Police's obligation to deliver 3.3 million tests for NZTA and Ministry of Transport had been met and was not compromised.

Ogni pagamento che gli europei faranno con l'euro digitale - che potranno effettuare o con una app fornita dalla banca, o con una 'card' simile alla carta di credito - sarà il trasferimento ad altri di un 'credito' presso la Bce: come le banconote. Una differenza sostanziale con le carte di credito e con i bonifici bancari. E anche un elemento 'geopolitico': i due terzi dei pagamenti digitali oggi - su Visa, Mastercard o Paypal per quelli online - passano da operatori americani.

Its market manipulation and China already responded with Qualcomm lawsuit. So likely it's not over at all and won't go where trump thinks it's gonna go.
He took over a failing Dutch tech company and turned it around. Nexperia was on the path to bankruptcy, that's why it was on the market to be sold back in 2017. His company injected capital and made it profitable. Even last year, his parent company even announced a $200M expansion of Nexperia's Hamburg plant, which totally goes against the narrative that they were moving production out of Europe.
The Dutch govt is trying to spin this, but they have like 5 different storylines and none of them make sense.

The first honest American president - Trump’s shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.
By the time Trump arrived, corruption had been normalised as realism. Trump merely stripped it of its polite fictions – not only in domestic politics but in foreign policy, where the US has long cloaked its violence in the language of democracy and human rights. Trump’s extrajudicial killings of unidentified individuals via unilateral military strikes in Latin American waters, for example, are not a break with American precedent but its most naked expression, the open performance of practices that past administrations enacted beneath the cloak of deniability and euphemism. Likewise, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) brutality and cruelty under Trump are not new. It is instead largely a dramatised, made-for-TV version of what Barack Obama – who earned the title of “deporter in chief” – pioneered over the years in which he built the career of Tom Homan, now Trump’s so-called border czar. Like Trump, Obama was a great admirer of Homan, awarding him a 2015 Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service to honour his passion for rounding up immigrants, separating children from their parents and caging people in detention camps.
The brazenness of Trump’s corruption and cruelty – the nepotism, the grift, the self-dealing, the open auctioning of government contracts and justice – does not shock us because it feels like an honest expression of what we already knew: that American government and institutions serve the wealthy individuals who own them, whether directly or indirectly through their donations and lobbyists or via networks of influence, bribery and extortion. The outrage that might once have followed is replaced by a weary recognition that things have always worked this way.

Portland won’t weaken its policy to phase out petroleum diesel and replace it with biofuels
The rollback recommended by the Renewable Fuels Standards Advisory Committee would have allowed trucks to continue to emit black carbon, or “soot,” at a higher level and for longer than under the original plan.Gosia Wozniacka | The Oregonian/OregonLive (oregonlive)

As far as I know, mandatory use of biofuels is primarily a subsidy for farmers rather than a means of reducing emissions. I'm surprised to see an urban area focus on it.
In his decision, Engstrom said the feedstock restrictions are “core to the original policy intent” and must be preserved because they ensure the policy delivers on promised carbon reductions. Feedstocks made from virgin agricultural products and food crops – such as soybean, canola and palm oils – have been linked to much higher carbon emissions, displacing food production and causing deforestation and are not allowed under Portland’s policy.
It sounds like Portland is making an effort to avoid the farm-subsidy sort of biofuels, but then what is it actually demanding that biofuels be made from?
‘Fancy tool’: how China cut chip defects by 99% for near-perfect lithography
In a major leap for the global semiconductor industry, a joint Chinese research team has developed a method that can slash defects in lithography – a critical step in chipmaking – by up to 99 per cent.
The researchers achieved unprecedented clarity by using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to pinpoint, for the first time, the minute sources of common manufacturing flaws.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications on September 30, by Professor Peng Hailin from Peking University in collaboration with researchers from Tsinghua University and the University of Hong Kong, were hailed by reviewers as a “fancy tool” that “would benefit peer researchers and industrial users quite a lot”.
“The team has proposed a solution compatible with existing semiconductor production lines,” Peng said in an interview with Beijing-based Science and Technology Daily published on Monday. “It can reduce lithography defects on 12-inch (30cm) wafers by 99 per cent,” he added, indicating substantial cost benefits to the market.
Lithography is one of the most critical steps in chip manufacturing. “It can be understood as ‘printing circuits’ onto semiconductor wafers such as silicon,” Peng said. “Essentially, an ultra-precise ‘projector’ shrinks and transfers pre-designed circuit patterns onto a special film coating the wafer, which is then developed and fixed.”

Openpilot 0.10.1 Released: Improved World Model and Overhauled User Interface
Openpilot 0.10.1 introduces the North Nevada Model, featuring major improvements to the World Model architecture. The system now infers 6 degree of freedom ego localization directly from images, removing the need for external localization inputs. This reduces over-constrained data and opens the door for future self-generated imagery.
To support this change, the autoencoder Compressor was upgraded with masked image modeling, switched from CNN to Vision Transformer architecture, and the World Model itself was scaled from 500 million to 1 billion parameters. All models now train on a much larger dataset of 2.5 million segments, up from 437,000, covering more vehicles, countries, and driving scenarios.
The UI has been completely rewritten, moving from Qt/Weston to Python with raylib. This reduces code complexity by about 10,000 lines, cuts boot time by 4 seconds, lowers GPU usage, and simplifies development.
Finally, the Driver Monitoring Model's training infrastructure has been streamlined with dynamic data streaming, though the model’s functionality remains unchanged.

DoD strips job protections from civilian employees, directs managers to fire with ‘speed and conviction’
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48899185
The Defense Department is stripping away job protections from its civilian employees and directing managers to “act with speed and conviction” to fire employees performing “unsuccessfully.”A new Sept. 30 memo titled “Separation of Employees with Unacceptable Performance,” which became public Tuesday, also warned that managers will be held accountable if they fail to remove poor performers.
Pentagon’s Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, who signed the memo, suspended the department’s requirement that managers attempt to rehabilitate underperforming employees — clearing the way for supervisors to fire workers whose performance is deemed “unacceptable” more quickly.
“They are trying to cloak it in legalistic language and make it sound legitimate, but the reality is they’re stripping due process significantly and making it easier for arbitrary terminations, similar and functional to private sector employment,” Sean Timmons, managing partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, told Federal News Network.

Mushroom clouds over Vegas? What Trump’s nuclear weapons tests could mean for America and the world
But 10 months into his second administration, the president is commanding officials to resume nuclear weapons testing, which would end the U.S’s 33-year moratorium and invite a global arms race in a volatile political moment.
Claiming that the United States must reach parity with weapons development in China and Russia, Trump ordered the Pentagon on October 30 to “start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis,” a process that will begin “immediately,” he said.
The last confirmed nuclear test by the United States was in 1992 under then-President George H.W. Bush, who established a moratorium on all nuclear testing. China has reportedly not tested a nuclear weapon since 1996, and Russia’s most recent tests involved delivery systems, not actual detonation of a nuclear device.

Increased Spam on Lemmy Recently
I don't know if it's just me, but it feeks like there's been more spam posts than usual on Lemmy this October. Especially in instances like lemmy.world, lemdro.id, and others.
For example, this week, there has been a 3-day-old account on lemmy.world with over 480 posts. I also refreshed my feed today to find a <1 day old account from lemy.lol just posting Perplexity affiliate links to various places. I've blocked like 10 accounts in the past week alone for this reason.
With affiliate links I kind of understand the motivation. However, for non-promotional spam, upvotes on Lemmy aren't valuable in the same way that it is on Reddit, and there's no real value to an account with a lot of karma.
Is it just me that's noticed this increase? Does anyone know why this might be happening just now?
Sony WF-C510 connected on Linux, but never recognized as a headset

I’ve restarted Bluetooth services, switched from PulseAudio to PipeWire, and tried every "set-card-profile" trick from AI and forums, but nothing works.
Has anyone actually managed to get a Sony WF-C510 working properly on Linux?
It's clear this is purely Sony's fault for not caring about or supporting Linux drivers. Are they just ignoring the entire platform at this point?

New York declares state of emergency to help food banks in shutdown
New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, has declared a state of emergency to raise $65m to help food banks as federal funding for the national food stamps program is set to expire on Saturday due to the government shutdown.
The move comes after Oregon and Virginia also declared emergencies to make funds available to cover the anticipated short fall in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which provides food aid to nearly 42 million people.
New York receives nearly $650m a month in federal funding for Snap benefits, according to Department of Agriculture figures.
Oregon governor Tina Kotek on Wednesday pledged $5m to food banks and declared a 60-day food security emergency. Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin has said the state will draw on surplus funds to pay for up to a month of Snap benefits.
The declarations come amid an ongoing standoff between the Trump administration and the Republicans, on one side, and the Democrats, over a federal government funding package. Neither Congress nor the White House has acted to fund November Snap benefits, which cost around $8bn a month.

Republican plan would make deanonymization of census data trivial
But now, a little-known algorithmic process called “differential privacy,” created to keep census data from being used to identify individual respondents, has become the right’s latest focus. WIRED spoke to six experts about the GOP’s ongoing effort to falsely allege that a system created to protect people’s privacy has made the data from the 2020 census inaccurate.
If successful, the campaign to get rid of differential privacy could not only radically change the kind of data made available, but could put the data of every person living in the US at risk. The campaign could also discourage immigrants from participating in the census entirely.
The Census Bureau regularly publishes anonymized data so that policymakers and researchers can use it. That data is also sensitive: Conducted every 10 years, the census counts every person living in the United States, citizen and noncitizen alike. The data includes detailed information like the race, sex, and age, as well the languages they speak, their home address, economic status, and the number of people living in a house. This data is used for allocating the federal funds that support public services like schools and hospitals, as well as for how a state’s population is divided up and represented in Congress. The more people in a state, the more congressional representation—and more votes in the Electoral College.

Pritzker forms independent commission to document misconduct of federal agents
After urging Illinoisans last month to record concerning actions by federal agents, Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order Thursday creating a commission to review documentation submitted by the public.
“The federal government has chosen to treat the people of this country as an adversary,” Pritzker said of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” targeting the Chicago area. “We will not meet intimidation with fear. We will meet it with truth.”
The newly formed Illinois Accountability Commission has been charged by Pritzker to create a public record of abuses, document the impact of those abuses on families and communities, and recommend actions for justice and reducing future harm.
The commission will investigate past actions by federal officials, according to its chair, U.S. District Judge Rubén Castillo, including the fatal shooting of unarmed father and Mexican immigrant Silverio Villegas González by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer after dropping off his two young sons at school and daycare in the Chicago area.

Missed opportunity for OneShot to come to GOG?
I'd like to play Oneshot but it's not on GOG. I went looking to see if anyone had said why not and I found a post from the Oneshot dev GIR saying he submitted the game to GOG.
I'm curious about what happened. I'd love to see Oneshot come to GOG.
GOG? :: OneShot General Discussions
Will be this game released on GOG some day? I know that it is on Itcho but I prefer GOG.steamcommunity.com
apparently this is a big problem with GOG, they have a very strict and opinionated policy for accepting games on their store.
on one hand, this means GOG doesn't have much shovelware, unlike Steam or itch. this is good. but it also means incredible games get the pass for ridiculous reasons.
iirc they passed on Balatro because it "wasn't what they were looking for on the store right now", and they initially passed on Undertale because the game's graphics made them think it was unpolished... i wonder how many incredible indie games aren't on GOG because of this?
How do you propose GOG should handle forever support for a nearly endless number of shovelware games? Preservation is more than offering the downloads, the games also need to run on systems people actually have.
As far as I can tell they are fullfilling all their marketing promises by taking charge of updating games when developers stop doing so. I wish they would do that for the Linux versions as well as the windows versions, but it's absolutely better than nothing.
what GOG is doing is great and i commend their efforts (even tho i wish they’d relax their submission policies juuust a bit), and as a store, not having piles of shovelware is great!
but as a preservation platform, GOG’s approach is inherently limited. they can’t have every game, and they can’t keep supporting every game. that’s the fundamental problem with them as far as preservation is concerned.
the only way i can think of where we could have total game preservation is if every game ever made had it’s source code readily available, and all people were taught the programming skills necessary to make the games work on whatever future computers we have. that way, even the most obscure games which don’t have a passionate fanbase can be ported, fixed and played for years to come.
which, obviously, is not something that’s doable, by GOG or by anyone else

OpenAI maps out the chatbot mental health crisis
On Monday, OpenAI released new research on the prevalence of users with potentially serious mental health issues on ChatGPT. In any given week, 0.07 percent of users show signs of psychosis or mania; 0.15 percent of users “indicate potentially heightened levels of emotional attachment to ChatGPT”; and 0.15 percent of users express suicidal intent.More than 800 million people now use ChatGPT every week. And so while those numbers may look low on a percentage basis, they are disturbingly large in absolute terms. That’s 560,000 people showing signs of psychosis or mania, 1.2 million people developing a potentially unhealthy bond to a chatbot, and 1.2 million people having conversations that indicate plans to harm themselves.
OpenAI is publishing these figures against the backdrop of a larger mental health crisis whose arrival preceded ChatGPT. Nearly a quarter of Americans experience a mental illness each year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. A staggering 12.6 percent of Americans aged 18 to 25 had serious thoughts of suicide in 2024, NAMI reports.
The question is to what extent these conditions may be triggered or exacerbated by interactions with chatbots like ChatGPT. Large language models are generally trained to be agreeable and supportive, which can comfort people going through difficult situations. But chatbots can also veer into sycophancy, as ChatGPT did in April, pushing users into strange and harmful spirals of delusion. They can also be talked into giving instructions for suicide, and some vulnerable people have used its advice to end their lives.
