Un rapido ripasso dei leader mondiali che hanno sostenuto Viktor Orbán. Lo spot elettorale è di gennaio 2026.

This is aging beautifully

Chants of “Ruszkik haza!” (“Russians go home!”) in the Budapest metro tonight

Make election interference great again, @JDVance.

Where should we send him next?

I completely agree with her assessment that “Claude has regressed to the point it cannot be trusted to perform complex engineering”. There are two problems with building businesses on top of frontier models. The first is the cost and value capture. The frontier labs are aiming to capture the value that they create and become the new Google, Facebook where, in the past, you would raise venture money to scale your SaaS and you would spend marginally all of it on CPC ads for customers acquisition. Then all that value accrues to Google/Facebook stock. The goal with the frontier labs is capture all that value instead. There is no incentive to bring costs down or democratize access, that’s going to have to come from innovation outside those labs. The second is the “they’re not going to let us have this” problem. (phrase coined by @androolloyd in our discussions/strategizing about this around the turn of the new year) Opus 4.5 was good enough that you could actually make serious progress with it. Now that they’ve gotten everyone hooked on crack, they’ve diluted the package. It’s been brutal for over a month. The amount of money we’ve spent on the API for this degraded product makes me sick. They have completely nerfed it and there’s a good chance Mythos is just them re-releasing an unquantized version of the same/similar thing that we already had, just in a way that’s more economically sustainable for them. And which is rumoured to be gatekept by organization. If you’re operating in this field you have to take these dynamics into account and act accordingly.

@OSRDrivers Age of AI productivity. Still “90 days” for a reply.

After 30+ years of signing windows drivers, we have been locked out of driver signing like many other companies. In a word, the disrespect and disregard with which MSFT is treating IHVs and ISVs is stunning. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s because we didn’t read our emails or submit the right verification paperwork. Cuz we did all that back in October. And this month, we were suddenly and without any warning locked out. Support said they’d “do their best” to let us know “within 90 days” if we’re good enough to get back on. In the meantime, many thousands of desktops and instruments are not being updated, cuz we can’t sign drivers. Awesome job, Microsoft. Thanks.

@koylanai yup, got the same yesterday. told it to undo the latest changes which broke features instead of fixing bugs, and it wiped all the uncommitted work. previously, undoing would make it walk back the changes in code.

WE DON'T HATE CLAUDE CODE ENOUGH WHY ARE WE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IF YOUR EVERY RELEASE IS MAKING THE HARNESS LESS USABLE?

Vaya puto escándalo. La Liga de Javier Tebas, que se ha acostumbrado a tumbar medio internet cada vez que hay un partido para evitar la piratería, ha dejado sin servicio una app para localizar a personas. Un padre con demencia está ilocalizable por este motivo. Y no pasará nada

@karpathy @karpathy I've been building something for a while now. For now it's just for personal use bu I would love you to try it if you want to take it for a spin.

Expectation: the age of the IDE is over Reality: we’re going to need a bigger IDE (imo). It just looks very different because humans now move upwards and program at a higher level - the basic unit of interest is not one file but one agent. It’s still programming.

Los 27 por fin d’acuerdo en dejar de ser 27 para convertirse en 1, integrando definitivamente un Mercado Único 🇪🇺 que sigue fragmentado; energía, télécom, mercados financieros, Régimen 28, Quinta Libertad. El plan “One Europe One Market” marca un paso decisivo. Ahora velocidad.

We are introducing EU Inc. To make building and growing a business across the EU faster, simpler, and smarter. 🔸 Start a company in less than 48 hours 🔸 No minimum capital requirement 🔸 Fully online and borderless

To help EU Inc. companies compete for the best people, employee stock options will be simpler to offer and easier to manage across borders. We will also fully digitalise insolvency procedures and introduce a fast-track insolvency process for startups. So that EU entrepreneurs can start again, more easily.

EU Inc. creates a single European company framework. It is one simple set of rules that works across our entire Single Market of 450 million consumers. Companies will be able to manage their documents and communicate with administrations fully digitally, in all 27 Member States.

@jamonholmgren love it!

My current agentic workflow is about 5x faster, better quality, I understand the system better, and I’m having fun again. My previous workflows have left me exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling out of touch with the systems I was building. They also degraded quality too much. This is way better. I’m not ready to describe in detail. It’s still evolving a bit. But I’ll give you a high level here. I call this the Night Shift workflow.

@TimurNegru how much would it cost to renovate this?

I've been tracking unique properties across Italy for clients looking at boutique hospitality. There's a clear trend happening at the moment, travellers are moving away from the overcrowded hotspots and looking for authentic, under the radar experiences. Fewer rooms, unique settings, real character. Then this one dropped in price. A neo-medieval villa in Menconico, deep in the Apennine foothills of Lombardy, about 1h30m south of Milan. It looks like a small stone castle watching over the valley below. Asking price: €190k (down from €215k). 166 m² of living space across two floors, a 112 m² tavern in the basement, a garage, and 37,000 m² of private land - over 9 acres with a tennis court and woodland. It needs a full renovation, but you'll end up having a restored Gothic villa on 9 acres in the Italian mountains. Not a bad deal. What would you build here?

@JamesLucasIT the suspense is killing me is it gonna catch it?

Birds are fed by their parents during infancy. When the time comes for them to feed themselves, they may experience some confusion when food does not go into their mouths on its own.

@rohanpaul_ai the duck still has the arms 🫠

Take a look at this video of the duck in the tub: That was a person sitting in a tub, and the AI erased the person and drew a duck in their place, matching the water splashes and reflections instantly.

This week is already so hot. 🔥 Massive release from @DecartAI : Lucy 2.0 a World Editing Model running at 1080p, 30FPS in realtime. This is truly exciting, the era of real-time generative reality is here. We are moving from watching AI video to living inside AI video. A breakthrough model capable of transforming the visual world in real-time. Moving beyond offline rendering, Lucy 2.0 delivers high-fidelity 1080p video generation with near-zero latency. Lucy 2.0 literally "redraws" the entire world pixel-by-pixel, while you are watching it. e.g. If you want to be an anime character, it doesn't just put a mask on you. It turns your skin into anime skin, your hair into anime hair, and the lighting in your room into anime lighting. Lucy 2.0 is also trained to stop the generated video from slowly falling apart over time, so the same stream can run much longer without faces and details drifting. So why is this a "Massive Deal"? Traditional AI video-generation model takes a prompt, you wait 10–20 minutes, and the computer "bakes" a video for you. You couldn't touch it or change it while it was happening. But Lucy 2.0 works like a mirror. It happens in real-time (30 frames per second). There is no waiting. You move your hand, the AI character moves its hand instantly. The craziest part isn't the visuals; it's the physics. Usually, AI hallucinations are glitchy—hands merge into faces, walls melt. Lucy 2.0 understands how the world works without being told. It knows that if you take off a helmet, there is hair underneath. It knows that if you splash water, droplets fly. It learned "physics" just by watching millions of videos. The physical behavior you see emerges from learned visual dynamics, not from engineered geometry or explicit physics engines. Their official technical report explicitly states that the model does not use traditional 3D engines, depth maps, or wireframes. It is a "pure diffusion model."

Good discussion with CEOs today in Davos. Europe has all the assets it needs to attract investment. From capital to innovation. We’re working on mobilising them fully. Soon, we’ll put forward a single set of rules for companies to scale and grow across Europe - EU Inc. Because we need European champions for a global market. We are also working on a large-scale, deep and liquid capital market that attracts a wide range of investors. An interconnected and affordable energy market. And we’re shifting our focus to the high value sectors - from AI to defence. My message is: Europe is the right place to invest.
