When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/a…

Respect Italy

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China India.

Europeans please wake up.

Today we’re releasing DeepSWE, a new standard for agentic coding benchmarks. On public leaderboards, top models often look relatively close in capability. DeepSWE shows where they actually diverge, reflecting the realistic experience of developers in their day-to-day work.

Mario Draghi's important message for Europe: Out of necessity, the future of Europe must be a journey towards federalism. But, however desirable a true federation would be, it would require political conditions that do not exist today. And the challenges we face are too urgent to wait for them to emerge. A new, pragmatic federalism is therefore the only viable path forward. This is a federalism that is issue-based, flexible and able to act outside the slowest mechanisms of EU decision-making. It would be built by coalitions of the willing around shared strategic interests recognising that Europe’s diverse strengths do not require every country to move at the same pace. This is a federalism that is issue-based, flexible and able to act outside the slowest mechanisms of EU decision-making. It would be built by coalitions of the willing around shared strategic interests—recognising that Europe’s diverse strengths do not require every country to move at the same pace. Imagine countries with strong tech sectors agreeing on a common regime that enables their firms to scale rapidly. Nations with advanced defence industries pooling R&D and funding joint procurement. Industrial leaders co-investing in critical sectors such as semiconductors, or in grid infrastructure that lowers energy costs. This pragmatic federalism would allow those with higher ambitions to act with the speed, scale and intensity of other global powers. And just as importantly, it could help renew the democratic momentum of Europe itself. Because opting in would require national governments to secure democratic support for specific shared goals, it would become a bottom-up construction of common purpose—not a top-down imposition. All those who want to join could do so—while those who seek to block progress would no longer be able to hold others back. In short, it offers a confident vision of Europe—and one that citizens can believe in. A Europe where young people see their future. A Europe that refuses to be trampled on. A Europe that acts not out of fear of decline, but out of pride in what it can still achieve. We must offer this vision if Europe is to renew itself. And I am confident that we can.

Masked agents of the US state are executing people in the streets and powerful leaders are openly lying to cover for them. To everyone in my industry who’s ever claimed to value freedom—draw on the courage of your convictions and stand up.

I'm wondering what's the point of all the high-sounding claims on "digital sovereignty" by top political levels if their agencies then continue to happily buy AWS or other American hyperscalers and proudly take group pictures with them. aboutamazon.eu/news/aws/aws-…

The EU is doomed? Not really.🇪🇺

Faccio un thread tecnico sull'USB-C ma penso che sarà l'ultimo thread divulgativo che faccio su questa piattaforma perché oggi (giorno in cui sono tutti diventati ingegneri elettronici a quanto pare) abbiamo veramente toccato il fondo. 1/tanti

One port, one cable, one Europe. This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all. Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree. Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long. link.europa.eu/QDMFTh

Tired of digging 100s of SSH configs from zsh history and notes? I made sshdb, a tiny, keyboard-first SSH launcher. Search, preview & connect instantly without touching your .ssh/config ever again. It’s minimal, fast, written in #rust. Get it via brew: github.com/ruphy/sshdb

Announcing Lindy Build: the new State Of The Art in vibe coding. Using a web browsing agent, it clicks around, finds issues, and fixes them, 100% autonomously. If you’ve tried vibe coding, the first 5 mins of going from prompt to prototype feel magical. What sucks is that you then have to spend hours going back and forth with this blind engineer to fix issues that are obvious to you. Lindy Build is magical end-to-end: describe any complex app, go grab lunch, and have something working and bug-free when you come back.
