Invasione
Ci sono decine e decine di paesi ricchi mussulmani. Molto più vicini, ai loro paesi d'origine, molto più facili da raggiungere dove spesso parlano perfino la stessa lingua. Là i micranti non dovrebbero integrarsi, hanno la stessa "cultura". Perché vengono in Europa, USA ed Australia? Ecco il motivo: l'invasione.

Jeg har et matte-problem som jeg ikke greier å løse.
Er det noen i #Allheimen som er smarte nok til å hjelpe meg med å forstå hvordan man løser en oppg. hvor man har utelukkende større-enn tegn? Jeg vet hvordan å løse det hvis man har større-enn-eller-lik, men hvis jeg prøver å løse oppg. som det så får jeg et svar som sier at a_(n+1) = 10, og ikke a_(n+1) > 10.
Ja! Feilen min lå altså i antagelsen, jeg antok a_n = 10, men antagelsen burde jo ha vært a_n = 10 + epsilon, hvor epsilon er en hvilken som helst verdi > 0
Og (1/2)*epsilon vil aldri bli null, det er liksom logikken? Kanskje et teorem i boka som bekrefter det. Alltid så vanskelig å holde styr på alle teoremene.

Here's another way I boot FreeDOS on Linux with QEMU:

If you want to try FreeDOS, running in a virtual machine is a great way to go! Most of the defaults in QEMU are great for DOS! 👍 (Actually, QEMU is way faster than classic hardware anyway.)

Interesting to note:
Since writing this article, I've started running FreeDOS on QEMU without KVM acceleration.
And I've been booting my Pocket'386 more frequently, to run on real hardware.
It makes me want to write 2 more articles: something like “for a retro computing experience, turn off hardware acceleration” and another about the joy of running DOS on real hardware.
But I don't have much free time these days, might have to wait until October.
🧵
The outline of that article will be (basically) look at hardware speeds from 1990 .. that's solidly the "DOS" era: 386 or 486 CPU, 8 or 16 (or 32?) MB memory, 80 or 120 MB disk.
And compare that to today's speeds .. QEMU without KVM will still be way faster than 1990 hardware, but it's a closer approximation.
As much as I love the variety of packages we provide to make FreeDOS a modern DOS, it's good to remember what "DOS hardware" was really like, and why DOS had certain design decisions.
@lproven I was writing those numbers by memory, but the 486 did exist in 1990. (Introduced in April 10, 1989)

The Challenges of Digitizing Paper Films
In the 1930s, as an alternative to celluloid, some Japanese companies printed films on paper (kami firumu), often in color and with synchronized 78 rpm record soundtracks. Unfortunately, between the small number produced, varying paper quality, and the destruction of World War II, few of these still survive. To keep more of these from being lost forever, a team at Bucknell University has been working on a digitization project, overcoming several technical challenges in the process.
The biggest challenge was the varying physical layout of the film. These films were printed in short strips, then glued together by hand, creating minor irregularities every few feet; the width of the film varied enough to throw off most film scanners; even the indexing holes were in inconsistent places, sometimes at the top or bottom of the fame, and above or below the frame border. The team’s solution was the Kyōrinrin scanner, named for a Japanese guardian spirit of lost papers. It uses two spools to run the lightly-tensioned film in front of a Blackmagic cinematic camera, taking a video of the continuously-moving film. To avoid damaging the film, the scanner contacts it in as few places as possible.
After taking the video, the team used a program they had written to recognize and extract still images of the individual frames, then aligned the frames and combined them into a watchable film. The team’s presented the digitized films at a number of locations, but if you’d like to see a quick sample, several of them are available on YouTube (one of which is embedded below).
This piece’s tipster pointed out some similarities to another recent article on another form of paper-based image encoding. If you don’t need to work with paper, we’ve also seen ways to scan film more accurately.

Why “caffè” may not be “caffè”
Every time when I think I finally “got” Unicode, I get kicked in the back by this rabbit hole. 😆 However, IMHO it is important to recognise that when moving data and files between operating systems and programs that you’re better off knowing some of the pitfalls. So I’m sharing something I experienced when I transferred a file to my FreeBSD Play-Around notebook. So let’s assume a little story…
It’s late afternoon and you and some friends sit together playing around with BSD. A friend using another operating system collects coffee orders in a little text file to not forget anyone when going to the barista on the other side of the street. He sends the file to you, so at the next meeting you already know the preferences of your friends. You take a look at who wants a caffè:
armin@freebsd:/tmp $ cat orders2.txtMauro: cappuccinoArmin: caffè doppioAnna: caffè shakeratoStefano: caffèFranz: latte macchiatoFrancesca: cappuccinoCarla: latte macchiato
So you do a quick grep just to be very surprised!
armin@freebsd:/tmp $ grep -i caffè orders2.txtarmin@freebsd:/tmp $
Wait, WAT? Why is there no output? We have more than one line with caffè in the file? Well, you just met one of the many aspects of Unicode. This time it’s called “normalization”. 😎
Many characters can be represented by more than one form. Take the innocent “à” from the example above. There is an accented character in the Unicode characters called LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE. But you could also just use a regular LATIN SMALL LETTER A and combine it with the character COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT from the Unicode characters. Both result in the same character and “look” identical, but aren’t.
Let’s see a line with the word “caffè” as hex dump using the first approach (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE):
\u0063\u0061\u0066\u0066\u00E8\u000Ac a f f è (LF)
Now let’s do the same for the same line using the second approach:
\u0063\u0061\u0066\u0066\u0065\u0300\u000Ac a f f è (LF)
And there you have it, the latter is a byte longer and the two lines do not match up even if both lines are encoded as UTF-8 and the character looks the same!
So obviously just using UTF-8 is not enough and you might encounter files using the second approach. Just to make matter more complicated there are actually four forms of Unicode normalization out there. 😆
- NFD: canonical decomposition
- NFC: canonical decomposition followed by canonical composition
- NFKD: compatible decomposition
- NFKC: compatible decomposition followed by canonical composition.
For the sake of brevity of this post and your nerves we’ll just deal with the first two and I refer you to this Wikipedia article for the rest.
Normal form C (NFC) is the most widely used normal form and is also defined by the W3C for HTML, XML, and JavaScript. Technically speaking, encoding in Latin1 (or Windows Codepage 1252), for example, is in normal form C, since an “à” or the umlaut “Ö” is a single character and is not composed of combining characters. Windows and the .Net framework also store Unicode strings in Normal Form C. This does not mean that NFD can be ignored. For example, the Mac OSX file system works with a variant of NFD data, as the Unicode standard was only finalized when OSX was designed. When two applications share Unicode data, but normalize them differently, errors and data loss can result.
So how do we get from one form to another in one of the BSD operating systems (also in Linux)? Well, the Unicode Consortium provides a toolset called ICU — International Components for Unicode. The Documentation URL is unicode-org.github.io/icu/ and you can install that in FreeBSD using the command
pkg install icu
After completion of the installation you have a new command line tool called uconv (not to be mismatched with iconv which serves a similar purpose). Using uconv you can transcode the normal forms into each other as well do a lot of other encoding stuff (this tool is a rabbit hole in itself 😎).
Similar to iconv you can specify a “from” and a “to” encoding for input. But you can also specify so-called “transliterations” that will be applied to the input. In its simplest form such a transliteration is something in the form SOURCE-TARGET that specifies the operation. The "any" stands for any input character. This is the way I got the hexdump from above by using the transliteration 'any-hex':
armin@freebsd:/tmp$ echo caffè | uconv -x 'any-hex'\u0063\u0061\u0066\u0066\u00E8\u000A
Instead of hex codes you can also output the Unicode code point names to see the difference between the two forms:
armin@freebsd:/tmp$ echo Caffè | uconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -x 'any-nfd' | uconv -f utf-8 -x 'any-name' \N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER F}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER F}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E}\N{COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT}\N{<control-000A>}
Now let’s try this for the NFC form:
armin@freebsd:/tmp$ echo Caffè | uconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -x 'any-nfc' | uconv -f utf-8 -x 'any-name'\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER F}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER F}\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE}\N{<control-000A>}
You can also convert from one normal form to another by using a transliteration like 'any-nfd' to convert the input to the normal form D (for decomposed, e.g. LATIN SMALL CHARACTER A + COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT) or 'any-nfc' for the normal form C.
If you want to learn about building your own transliterations, there’s a tutorial at unicode-org.github.io/icu/user… that shows the enormous capabilities of uconv.
Using the 'name' transliteration you can easily discern the various Sigmas here (I’m using sed to split the output into multiple lines):
armin@freebsd:/tmp $ echo '∑𝛴Σ' | uconv -x 'any-name' | sed -e 's/\\N/\n/g'{N-ARY SUMMATION}{MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL SIGMA}{GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA}{<control-000A>}
If you want to get the Unicode character from the name, there are several ways depending on the programming language you prefer. Here is an example using python that shows the German umlaut "Ö":
python -c 'import unicodedata; print(unicodedata.lookup(u"LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS"))'
The uconv utility is a very mighty thing and every modern programming language (see the Python example above) also has libraries and modules to support handling Unicode data. The world gets connected, but not in ASCII. 😎

IBM e AMD creano nuove Architetture tra calcolo Quantistico e Supercalcolo (HPC)
IBM e AMD svilupperanno nuove architetture informatiche all’incrocio tra approcci quantistici e classici, scrive l’ ufficio stampa di AMD. I dirigenti di IBM e AMD hanno annunciato una partnership nell’agosto 2025 per realizzare supercomputer incentrati sulla tecnologia quantistica, architetture di nuova generazione che combinano il calcolo quantistico e il calcolo ad alte prestazioni (HPC).
Gli ingegneri delle due aziende intendono esplorare come le tecnologie quantistiche di IBM possano essere integrate con i processori, gli acceleratori grafici e i chip FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array ) di AMD, e analizzare il ruolo di ecosistemi aperti come il Quantum Information Software Kit (Qiskit) nello sviluppo e nella distribuzione di nuovi algoritmi che sfruttano il calcolo quantistico. L’obiettivo è creare piattaforme scalabili e aperte che, secondo gli sviluppatori, potrebbero ridefinire il futuro dell’informatica.
L’infrastruttura IT creata da IBM e AMD contribuirà ad accelerare la ricerca in ambito farmaceutico, della scienza dei materiali, dell’ottimizzazione e della logistica. La prima dimostrazione del progetto è prevista per il 2025. “L’informatica quantistica aprirà nuove possibilità per modellare i processi naturali e archiviare informazioni in formati fondamentalmente nuovi”, ha affermato Arvind Krishna, CEO di IBM . “Combinando i computer quantistici IBM con le tecnologie informatiche avanzate di AMD, stiamo creando un potente modello IT ibrido che supererà i limiti dell’informatica classica”, ha aggiunto il presidente dell’azienda.
Lisa Su, CEO di AMD, ha dichiarato: “L’High Performance Computing è la base su cui l’IT può contare per risolvere le principali sfide globali. Collaborare con IBM ed esplorare la combinazione di sistemi HPC e tecnologie quantistiche apre enormi opportunità per accelerare la scoperta scientifica e l’innovazione”. Nel giugno 2025, IBM e il laboratorio nazionale di ricerca giapponese RIKEN hanno presentato il primo IBM Quantum System Two installato al di fuori degli Stati Uniti, direttamente collegato al supercomputer Fugaku .
Il sistema utilizza un processore Heron da 156 qubit , che supera la generazione precedente sia in termini di tasso di errore che di velocità, consentendo operazioni di circuito 10 volte più veloci rispetto a prima. Questa integrazione consentirà lo sviluppo di flussi di lavoro quantistici-classici, risolvendo problemi che né i computer quantistici né quelli classici possono risolvere da soli. Secondo gli ingegneri IBM, l’obiettivo è sviluppare e dimostrare flussi di lavoro HPC quantistici ibridi pratici, adatti sia al mondo accademico che a quello industriale.
Questa integrazione di basso livello consente agli ingegneri di RIKEN e IBM di sviluppare carichi di lavoro paralleli, protocolli di comunicazione quantistico-classici con latenza minima e compilatori e librerie avanzati, ha affermato Mitsuhisa Sato, direttore di RIKEN Quantum-HPC. Sato ha spiegato che, poiché i sistemi quantistici e classici hanno una diversa potenza di calcolo, ciò consente a ciascuno di eseguire in modo efficiente le parti dell’algoritmo per cui è più adatto.
IBM ha aggiornato il suo piano per creare il primo computer quantistico fault-tolerant al mondo per la risoluzione di problemi pratici; il sistema è stato chiamato Sterling. Funzionerà con 200 qubit logici. La messa in servizio è prevista per il 2029. Come affermano i rappresentanti di IBM sul loro sito web, non esiste più alcuna barriera scientifica alla creazione di questo sistema da giugno 2025, e ora devono essere risolti solo problemi ingegneristici ordinari.
