Duolingo 365, l’inizio della fine…

Mi era passato di mente il dato a dir poco pazzo e avvilente di aver raggiunto il fantomatico slancio di 365 fottuti giorni su Duolingo… e la cosa è assolutamente terribile, perché se ne viene con il suo bel malloppo di implicazioni scomode. (A parte il fatto che non ho iniziato a usare il servizio il 29 giugno 2024 come sembrerebbe, ma una o due settimane prima, perché nel corso dell’anno qualche volta ho perso dei giorni… cazzo di gufo.)

Innanzitutto… ora ho lo stato di “VIP”… che pare una roba da pazzi detta così, ma in realtà semplicemente aggiunge una scrittina “🔥 1+ year” sotto il nome nelle classifiche. Molto meh, ma… è ancora peggio il fatto che in un anno ho imparato relativamente pochissimo!!! Non poco quanto i tizi super anti-Duolingo dicono, ma comunque… フクロウのせいで、私の生命が危ない!!! Purtroppo non ho sia tempo che voglia di fare gamin’ a quanto pare, quindi sono nella cacca, e l’unika a parte usare anke Anki sarebbe di procurarsi qualche manga tipo per i bimbi dell’asilo, non lo so… ☠️

This report advocates for the thorough protection of fundamental human rights in the digital age, arguing that addressing rights protection at a constitutional level offers a stronger, more enduring framework for confronting emerging digital threats than ordinary legislation alone. As digital technologies increasingly influence the exercise of civil and political rights, as well as other fundamental freedoms, robust constitutional safeguards are essential for addressing new challenges—from unwarranted surveillance and censorship to algorithmic governance and data monopolies.

Enshrining digital rights in a constitution offers a uniquely durable and robust framework for safeguarding fundamental rights against novel challenges in the digital era. Because constitutional provisions are harder to amend and take precedence over ordinary laws, they help anchor protections for fundamental rights and freedoms across evolving technological contexts. By embedding digital rights in a constitution—often a nation’s most symbolic articulation of shared values—countries can ensure consistent and uniform protection across various jurisdictions, especially in federal systems, while also providing stronger checks against both governmental abuses, such as unwarranted surveillance or censorship, and potential overreach by private actors, including large technology companies or data monopolies. Beyond its legal strength, constitutional recognition sets a clear standard for ethical and accountable corporate conduct and sends a powerful signal at home and internationally that digital rights are taken seriously and safeguarded at the highest legal level.

This report examines the impact of digitalization on fundamental rights and freedoms, discussing how modern digital technologies influence fundamental rights—particularly civil and political rights—and also considers the various actors that shape these rights in the digital age, outlining ways to ensure accountability beyond traditional governance structures. It is divided into several sections that collectively provide an overview of the current landscape of digital rights issues, outlining existing constitutional protections and highlighting considerations for strengthening these protections to meet the challenges posed by the digital age.

The Introduction provides a general introduction and overview, while Chapter 1 delves into how digitalization affects core civil and political rights. This chapter includes an analysis of how freedoms such as speech, expression, association and non-discrimination are being reshaped by modern digital technologies.

Chapter 2 explores the adaptation and expansion of constitutional protections to address the novel challenges presented by digital technologies, covering a range of emerging digital rights, such as digital privacy, data protection, the right to informational self-determination, and rights related to Internet access and connectivity. The chapter also discusses rights aimed at ensuring democratic participation in the digital era and highlights the importance of new rights such as the right to digital disconnection and cybersecurity. To understand how different countries have addressed these issues in their national constitutions, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) has mapped constitutional provisions on these rights, capturing global comparative examples. Additionally, selected case law examples illustrate how courts around the world interpret constitutional rights within digital contexts, often navigating the balance between competing rights and addressing matters of public interest and security.

Chapter 3 assesses the role of new actors, particularly tech companies, and public–private partnerships in the digital domain. It discusses the horizontal application of rights as one way forward in ensuring that non-state actors that assume or are vested with quasi-state powers respect fundamental rights.

The report ends with some short conclusions in Chapter 4.

Previsioni del tempo sempre più accurate, generate dieci volte più velocemente, con un consumo energetico mille volte inferiore a quello richiesto dai metodi di previsione tradizionali.

Per il Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine (Ecmwf), il cui Data Centre è ospitato al Dama Tecnopolo di Bologna, un ulteriore passo in avanti grazie all’utilizzo dell’intelligenza artificiale, con l’introduzione di un nuovo modello di previsioni meteorologiche che permetterà ai 35 Paesi membri di Ecmwf di migliorare in maniera decisiva i loro servizi al pubblico.

Aifs Ens, questo il nome del nuovo modello diventato operativo il primo di luglio, sarà disponibile per i servizi meteorologici nazionali collegati ad Ecmwf nelle prossime settimane. Il modello permette di costruire diversi scenari probabili su come si svilupperanno le condizioni atmosferiche e sfrutta le opportunità offerte dall'apprendimento automatico e dall'intelligenza artificiale, offrendo un miglioramento del 20% in accuratezza rispetto ai modelli fisici tradizionali.

“Quella introdotta da Ecmwf- dichiara Vincenzo Colla, vicepresidente della Regione Emilia-Romagna con delega allo Sviluppo della rete regionale Alta tecnologia e Tecnopolo di Bologna- conferma la qualità della scelta della Regione di ospitare a Bologna il Data centre del Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine, una struttura che continua a fare del Dama Tecnopolo un punto di riferimento per la comunità scientifica internazionale, capace di tenere insieme tecnologia e umanesimo. Le previsioni del tempo sono un elemento sempre più centrale nella nostra società, determinanti per garantire la sicurezza dei cittadini, ma anche per uno sviluppo economico che può contare su strumenti di sicurezza per il territorio”.
