Avete presente il jet-lag? Quella cosa che tocca a chi prende l’aereo e va un po’ di fusi orari un po’ più in là? Be’, non è che sia proprio chiarissimo come e perché c’è.
Money quote: "In 1980, NASA (in collaboration with the FAA, and at the request of Congress) established a program to further study the problem. The NASA Ames Fatigue/Jet Lag Program set out "to collect systematic, scientific information on fatigue, sleep, circadian rhythms, and performance in flight operations." Researchers determined that if the average biological clock were allowed to run at its natural rhythm, "the average internal biological clock would actually have a cycle slightly longer than our 24 hr. day, about 25 hr…. Therefore, when traveling westward, the circadian day is lengthened (or delayed) and promotes adjustment to the new time zone. Conversely, when flying eastward, the circadian day is shortened (or advanced), contrary to the natural tendencies of the internal clock.""

Money quote: "One morning in 1997, when he was thirty-five, he was sitting at breakfast, paging through the newspaper. He started to read an article by a columnist he admired, Michael Bywater. Time was an illusion, Bywater wrote, because you could roll it backward and relive it: "You choose a memory, focus on it, let the rest of the mind go blank, and wait." Bywater described particular memories of his own, not only the sight but the sound and feel of them--"the special *weight* of girls in autumn . . . when they lean against you as you walk along." For some reason, these sentences revealed all at once to Nick what in the whole course of his life he had not realized: that it was possible to see pictures in your mind and use those pictures to reëxperience your past."

Posso dire che lo invidio? Non perché è più giovane di me, ma perché può provare l’emozione di leggere per la prima volta uno dei miei libri preferiti
Money quote: "I have a confession: Until I started working at The Verge in 2016, I’d never heard of Neuromancer.
I was, of course, familiar with many of Neuromancer’s themes: Cyberpunk and cyberspace, computer hacking, corporate espionage, cybernetic enhancements, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and near-future worlds populated with leather jacket-wearing murderous street punks. I just didn’t know how many of these modern science fiction tropes first appeared or became prominent in the pages of William Gibson’s book.
I recently decided to read it for the first time. "

Un articolo molto godibile sul presente (e il futuro) dei podcast nel nostro Paese.

La Cina ha decisamente scelto il solare e non il nucleare. Chissà perché.

Ammetto di non aver mai letto il "Conte di Montecristo" di Alexandre Dumas. Era uno dei miei propositi del 2025 ma è scivolato nel 2026. Però quest'anno lo faccio fuori, promesso.
Money quote: "Il romanzo fu pubblicato nel 1844. Edmondo Dantès, marinaio, prigioniero, misteriosamente ricco, mette a soqquadro l'alta società parigina. Imprigionato a Marsiglia nel 1815, il giorno delle nozze, con la falsa accusa di bonapartismo, rimane rinchiuso per 14 anni nel castello di If, vittima della rivalità in amore di Fernando e in affari di Danglars, odiato anche dal magistrato Villefort. Questi i tre nemici su cui, dopo l'evasione, cadrà la terribile vendetta di Dantès. Il romanzo associa, senza la preoccupazione di una trama logica e ragionata, le più incredibili avventure con l'aiuto anche di uno stile agile e incalzante. Questa nuova edizione contiene uno scritto di André Maurois."

Wikipedia ha appena compiuto 25 anni. Lo avrete letto: se ne parla un po’ da tutte le parti. L’esperienza organizzata dagli stessi creatori di Wikipedia è interessante, anche per l’aspetto caratteristico "low tech".

Wikipedia seeks to inform, not persuade. In 2025, Wikipedia is there for all the people looking to expand their knowledge about a rapidly changing world. It has 65 million articles across over 300 languages, updated by nearly 250,000 volunteer editors, all of which are viewed nearly 15 billion times per month.

Il Codice fiorentino (1577) è un'enciclopedia illustrata del Messico precolombiano. È considerata la fonte più affidabile di informazioni sulla cultura Mexica, sull'Impero azteco e sulla conquista del Messico. L'intero codice è online e ricercabile. Ottima risorsa!
Money quote: "The Digital Florentine Codex gives access to a singular manunoscript created by Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and a group of Nahua elders, authors, and artists. Written in parallel columns of Nahuatl and Spanish texts and hand painted with nearly 2,500 images, the encyclopedic codex is widely regarded as the most reliable source of information about Mexica culture, the Aztec Empire, and the conquest of Mexico. Upon completion in 1577 at the Imperial Colegio de la Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco (today Mexico City), the manunoscript was sent to Europe where it entered the Medici family's library in Florence--thus, the Florentine Codex. This digital edition unlocks the manunoscript's content by making the texts and images searchable."

Ah, il pragmatismo anglosassone. Ad esempio: dopo aver perso il suo lavoro di copywriter a favore dell’AI, Brian Groh, che vive a Lawrenceburg, Indiana, per sbarcare il lunario si è rivolto al lavoro sugli alberi (cioè fa il boscaiolo). Nonostante gli piacesse il nuovo lavoro, ha affrontato sfide fisiche (ma va) e l'incombente minaccia dell’AI che potrebbe sostituire anche il suo nuovo lavoro (eh sì). Groh però sa scrivere anche senza bisogno dell’AI e mette giù questo pippone in cui evidenzia il problema più ampio dell'AI che fa saltare i posti di lavoro tradizionali e la necessità di una preparazione sociale per un futuro con meno opportunità di lavoro tradizionali. Insomma, buongiorno stellina e benvenuta nel 2026.
Money quote: "Maybe I should have seen it coming. I had hired a woman in the Philippines to do trannoscription work, but once A.I. proved just as capable, I began using the trannoscriptionist less often, then not at all. When my own work was being replaced, though, I felt shocked and ashamed. I was like a factory worker who had watched manufacturing jobs disappear for years yet, after decades on a production line, still couldn't believe that he, too, was being let go."

Quella volta che vennero sganciate quattro bombe atomiche sulla Spagna. Era il 1966 "nostro", non di un romanzo di Philip K. Dick.
Money quote: "This terrifying situation had come about because of a US operation code-named Chrome Dome. At the beginning of the 1960s, the US had developed a project to deter its Cold War rival, the Soviet Union, from launching a pre-emptive strike. A patrol of nuclear-armed B-52 bombers would continuously criss-cross the skies, primed to attack Moscow at a moment's notice. But to stay airborne on these long looping routes, the planes needed to refuel while in flight."

L'esperta di cibo e salute del Guardian si lancia in un articolo complesso sulle proteine: quante e quali mangiarne?
Money quote: "The recommended daily intake of protein for healthy adults is 0.75g per kilogram of body weight (or 0.8g if you’re in the US). This means, according to the British Nutrition Foundation, the average woman should eat about 45g of protein a day, while the average man should stick to around 56g – about two portions of nuts, tofu, fish or other protein source. Your ideal protein portion should fit into the palm of your hand. There are plenty of non-animal foods that are high in protein and rich in other nutrients and fibre to boot: beans, peas and lentils, soy products such as tofu, not to mention a plethora of nuts and seeds. You can find out how much protein is in individual foods by checking the packaging or consulting a website such as the British Nutrition Foundation’s. Some maths may be involved."
