No Prague weather in this edition.

Markets

  • Wall Street closed down Monday: S&P 500 −0.48% to 7,619.98, Nasdaq −0.56% to 26,186.41, Dow −0.29% to 52,421 — AI/chip names led (Nvidia ~−3.4%, Micron >−5%) after OpenAI/Anthropic/xAI execs called for a slower AI build-out.
  • 10-year US Treasury briefly topped 5% (first time since 2023); German 10-year >3.51% (highest since 2009). Fed decision Wed: markets about 90% priced for a 25 bp hike; BOJ also in focus for a possible move to 1.25%.
  • Oil stayed hot (Brent settled ~$105.68, later traded higher) on Middle East supply hits; Asia Tuesday mixed/soft (Nikkei roughly flat-to-soft, Hang Seng/Shanghai slightly down) ahead of those central-bank meetings.

Conflicts

  • Ukraine: Early Tue Russia hit a Kyiv petrol station and warehouses (Klitschko); Poland scrambled jets amid jet-powered drone waves; a NATO jet shot down a drone over Lithuania. Zelenskyy: Kyiv will only back a US-pushed “energy targets” ceasefire if Russia genuinely stops — after Trump claimed both sides had agreed (neither confirmed).
  • Iran / region: Houthis launched fresh missile/drone strikes on Saudi targets (incl. Khamis Mushait) as Hormuz talks with Gulf states stalled; Saudi east–west pipeline still offline after last week’s hit. CENTCOM disputed an IRGC claim that tanker El Gaia hit a Hormuz mine — said Iranian missile then drone strikes. Pentagon IG report (through Jun 30) flagged hundreds of damaged US facilities and munitions strain from the Iran war.

Garlasco / Chiara Poggi

  • No new official filing overnight. Clock still runs to 28 Sep: Procura di Pavia must choose archiviazione vs richiesta di rinvio a giudizio for Andrea Sempio (not a verdict). Recent commentary (ex-defense counsel Lovati, 14 Sep) floats a possible proroga; that’s opinion, not a court act. Still in play: DNA/tracce, impronta 33, scarpe, alibi — plus parallel Stasi revision track. No notable new YouTube/X drop that changes the official picture.

Tools & tech

  • Bitwig & Traktor: No new software drop in the last couple of days (Bitwig 6.1 still the Aug 26 Sampler update; Traktor Pro at 4.5.1 from July). No worthwhile new Bitwig/Traktor YouTube tutorials in the last ~1–2 days.
  • Linux: Before a big update, snapshot with timeshift (or at least dpkg --get-selections > ~/packages.txt) so you can roll back without drama. Package worth knowing: btop (sudo apt install btop) — live CPU/RAM/disk/network in one TUI, clearer than plain top when something’s chewing the machine.

Grok Bot tip

UI language is a real Settings row, not buried. Open Language (or Settings via the bottom-left account button / Cmd+,) and set the app language there. Handy if you bounce between Italian and English and want menus to match without hunting.

Marco Aurelio

Ad ogni istante pensa con fermezza, da Romano e maschio quale sei, a compiere ciò che hai per le mani con serietà scrupolosa e non fittizia, con amore, con libertà, con giustizia, e cerca di affrancarti da ogni altro pensiero. Te ne affrancherai compiendo ogni singola azione come fosse l’ultima della tua vita, lontano da ogni superficialità e da ogni avversione passionale alle scelte della ragione e da ogni finzione, egoismo e malcontento per la tua sorte. Vedi come sono poche le condizioni che uno deve assicurarsi per poter vivere una vita che scorra agevolmente e nel rispetto degli dèi: perché gli dèi non chiederanno nulla di più a chi osserva queste condizioni.

Pensieri, Libro II, 5
