Around 08:30 this morning, Russian forces attacked a civilian car with a drone in central Kherson. A 51-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man sustained blast injuries and shrapnel wounds. Both were taken to the hospital by emergency services and are receiving medical care.



Human Replatforming! L’intelligenza artificiale minaccia la metà dei posti di lavoro


Il presidente della casa automobilistica americana Ford, Jim Farley, ha rilasciato una dichiarazione tagliente sul futuro del mercato del lavoro nell’era dell’intelligenza artificiale. Secondo lui, le nuove tecnologie sono in grado di privare letteralmente la metà dei colletti bianchi del proprio lavoro, ovvero i dipendenti che lavorano in ufficio e svolgono compiti intellettuali.

Al forum internazionale Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley ha osservato che l’intelligenza artificiale ha un impatto asimmetrico sull’economia. Ha sottolineato che, da un lato, le nuove tecnologie aiutano e facilitano molti processi, ma dall’altro infliggono un duro colpo ad alcune professioni. Questo vale soprattutto per coloro che lavorano nell’ambito dell’elaborazione delle informazioni, del flusso di documenti e di altre attività d’ufficio.

Farley ha osservato che i progressi nell’intelligenza artificiale lasceranno inevitabilmente indietro molti dipendenti che per decenni hanno rappresentato la spina dorsale del mondo aziendale. Ha osservato che la tecnologia migliora la vita di molti, ma pone anche un serio interrogativo per la società: cosa succederà a coloro che saranno lasciati indietro? Secondo lui, la comunità globale non ha ancora un piano chiaro su come supportare queste persone.

La conversazione ha toccato anche il futuro dei lavoratori del settore manifatturiero. Farley ha riconosciuto che l’automazione e la robotica stanno gradualmente sostituendo le persone, ma finora questo riguarda un numero limitato di operazioni. Ha specificato che circa il 10% dei processi negli stabilimenti Ford è già eseguito da macchine e, con l’avvento dei robot umanoidi, questa percentuale potrebbe salire al 20%. Tuttavia, non sarà possibile sostituire completamente le persone nella produzione nel prossimo futuro: secondo Farley, il lavoro umano rimane un’attività unica e richiesta.

Tuttavia, l’annuncio del taglio di metà degli impiegati suona particolarmente allarmante alla luce di altre previsioni. In precedenza, l’amministratore delegato di Anthropic, Dario Amodei, aveva accusato aziende e politici di aver esagerato le conseguenze dell’introduzione dell’intelligenza artificiale. È convinto che il quadro reale sia molto più fosco e che la disoccupazione negli Stati Uniti potrebbe raggiungere il 20%. Amodei ha sottolineato che i produttori di tecnologia sono tenuti a essere onesti e trasparenti sulle conseguenze future.

Non ci sono dubbi sulla gravità dei cambiamenti in atto. Anche il CEO di Amazon, Andy Jassy, ha ammesso che l’azienda si sta già preparando a ridurre il personale a causa dell’implementazione diffusa dell’intelligenza artificiale. Amazon ha già licenziato circa 30.000 dipendenti quest’anno e Jassy ha affermato che tali misure proseguiranno, poiché le nuove tecnologie garantiscono un’elevata efficienza.

Il CEO di Fiverr, Micha Kaufman, ha osservato nel suo discorso ai dipendenti che l’intelligenza artificiale minaccia i posti di lavoro di quasi tutte le categorie, dai programmatori agli avvocati e agli specialisti dell’assistenza. Kaufman ha definito quanto sta accadendo un segnale allarmante per tutti, indipendentemente dalla professione.

Anche la più grande banca americana, JPMorgan Chase, non si è fatta da parte. La direttrice della banca, Marianne Lake, ha affermato che nei prossimi anni l’azienda prevede di ridurre fino al 10% del personale, sostituendolo con algoritmi di intelligenza artificiale. Shopify ha modificato il suo approccio alle assunzioni in primavera. Ora, la dirigenza richiede ai manager di dimostrare che le attività non possono essere svolte utilizzando l’intelligenza artificiale prima di accettare di ampliare il team.

Anche Microsoft conferma la tendenza: l’azienda ha annunciato la riduzione di 9.000 dipendenti, pari al 4% del personale totale. Allo stesso tempo, l’azienda continua a investire attivamente decine di miliardi di dollari nello sviluppo di tecnologie di intelligenza artificiale. La minaccia di licenziamenti di massa non riguarda solo il settore privato. Il governo australiano, ad esempio, sta già implementando una politica sull’uso responsabile dell’intelligenza artificiale nelle agenzie governative. La Ministra delle Finanze australiana, Katy Gallagher, ha osservato che è importante considerare i diritti, gli interessi e il benessere delle persone quando si utilizza l’intelligenza artificiale nei servizi pubblici.

Tutti gli eventi confermano una tendenza in crescita: l’intelligenza artificiale sta influenzando sempre di più il mercato del lavoro, riducendo il fabbisogno di persone e costringendo aziende e governi a cercare nuove modalità per adattarsi agli inevitabili cambiamenti.

Working on a #HamRadio linked dipole for QRP. I designed and printed the winder because I couldn't find anything I was quite satisfied with. It has holes to hold FT82, FT140, or FT240 toroids (depending on power requirements) with zip ties. I haven't yet tuned up the 10m dipole sections wound on so far; I'll do that when it's not a tropical storm outside and I can raise it up on a mast to tune it in situ. Then I'll add sections for more bands; probably all the bands from 10m to 40m (10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 30m, and 40m), linked with 2mm banana plugs. I'll probably bias the tuning towards the CW portions of the bands. Once I get all the sections in place, I'll plan to use a couple of light tent stakes to hold the arms out for an inverted V arrangement.

Yes, RG316 is lossy and this is over 30 feet of it, but this is for pedestrian use. I'd like to be able to carry it for one option with my KX3 when I'm packing everything in. I think this will be a more effective radiator than a loaded whip, making up for the loss in the coax, and fairly isotropic compared to an end-fed sloper. Also, because a center-fed dipole is anti-resonant on odd harmonics, I would like to try this for "social POTA" where multiple operators run multiple radios in relatively close proximity. I'm hoping that the combination of an anti-resonant antenna, bandpass filters, roofing filters, and more distance between antennas will fix the desense problems we've run into.

For lightweight portable operations, I'll be using my KX3, and I can leave the panadapter behind. In its place in the bag, I can put throw line, weights, etc.

This one uses very light gauge wire for the radiating elements. If this works, I might also make a similar unit for the IC-7300 that uses an FT140 toroid and can run 100W. If I do, I'll probably use polystealth or similar wire instead for the radiating elements.

in reply to Michael K Johnson

I made a slightly different winder body tonight. I moved the strain relief holes to make room for the ring terminal on the end of the wire, and made an option for using cable ties to hold it in place. The cable ties interfered with unwinding, so I removed them and just put a piece of shrink wrap around that leg. The shrink wrap was probably overkill and I shouldn't have bothered.

I used fewer cable ties this time.

I did check out SWR. Right now it's tuned pretty well for 12M. I'll cut it back to 10m, then start adding links for more bands using 2mm bullet terminals. More pictures as I do that. Very curious whether I'll get enough adhesion on this silicone wire I'm trying out. If not, I'll buy something more robust; this is an experiment.

I turn 25 today.

I am blessed to have many friends all around the globe, yet very few are currently here. So yesterday I called the four people who are in the area, we got a pizza and we sat by the sea for a very humble and spontaneous celebration 🌻

Here’s one bit of wisdom after ¼ of a century as a human on planet Earth:

The Texas Hill Country, scene of the devastating floods, is known for flash floods. The area lies just along the Balcones Escarpment, which was formed 20-25 million years ago, dividing Texas into the Western plateau with hills and cliffs and the fertile low plains to the East.

The escarpment also traps moist winds from the Gulf, causing intense rainfall in the region.

Water from sudden downpours rushes down the hills into creeks and rivers causing flash floods.

Is it possible for someone else to adopt the NOAA methods and continue to update this? For example, is the Texas flooding a billion-dollar disaster?

A few days ago, someone posted this here. A compilation of music for the Atari ST by Joris de Man. I only managed to listen to it now, and it's good, and I want to reshar, bu I can't find the original post anymore (of course), so apologies to you, original poster, but this is too good not to share!

I can't wait to unpack my newly acquired Atari STs (from the #hack42 computer museum surplus) in the new retro room and start exploring a part of computer history that completely went past me at the time, focussed on Commodore as I was.

Back in time to August 2018.....

Holidaying in Linton-in-Craven

Linton is a picturesque village in North Yorkshire, England, located south of the River Wharfe and approximately eight miles north of Skipton. The village features notable landmarks such as the 12th-century Church of St. Michael and All Saints, the Fountaine Hospital designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, and the Fountaine Inn. Linton Beck runs through the village, leading to the scenic Linton Falls, and is crossed by three stone bridges, including the 14th-century 'Little Emily's Bridge'. The village is also known for its stepping stones across the River Wharfe, providing access to the churchyard.

Das Bild zeigt ein Gebäudekomplex mit einer prächtigen, roten und silbernen Metallgittertür im Vordergrund. Die Tür ist mit kunstvollen roten Ornamenten verziert und führt zu einem Gebäude mit traditionellen asiatischen architektonischen Elementen, wie z. B. einem Dach mit goldenen Spitzen und einem kleinen, weißen Turm. Im Hintergrund sind alte, verwitterte Gebäude zu sehen, die eine Mischung aus westlichen und orientalischen Stilen aufweisen. Die Fassaden sind in verschiedenen Farben und Zuständen, was auf eine lange Geschichte hinweist. Die Szene ist von einem blauen Himmel und einigen Bäumen umrahmt, die dem Bild eine natürliche Note verleihen.
