The project that wants to be reality in 2027

by

The minimum separation between Spain and Morocco in the Gibraltar Strait is just 14 kilometers. Such a small space to save that for years there has been talk of Build a tunnel to join Europe with Africa. In fact, the space between the two countries is so concise that they are common helicopter journeys as an alternative to ferry. It has logic for those who want or need Jump between continents as quickly as possible. Although, obviously, the most economical option and used by most people remains the ferry. Only in the 2024 Strait Paso Operation The displacement of 3.4 million people in just three months was recorded, which meant 12,012 ship rotations. With the aim of offering a cleaner alternative, Baleària has announced which will have two electric ferries to save the distance between Tarifa and Tangier, since they have been made with a contract of 15 million euros awarded by the Port Authority Bay of Algeciras (APBA). If they get to fruition, we will have in Spain the first intercontinental corridor operated by electric ferries. An electric ferry that will also transform the ports The project, which was presented in Fitur a few days ago, will serve to move 804 passengers and 225 cars thanks to its 25 meters of manga. This journey will be made without issuing CO2, since it will only be moved by electric motors with a total power of 16 MW. These propellers will start the power of batteries of 11,500 kWh (11.5 MWh) capacity. To make us a better idea, electric cars with greater capacity batteries move in the 100 kWh so we are talking about these electric ferries will carry inside the same batteries as 115 vehicles large. These batteries will be removable by robots that can place the energy accumulators on the ship once it is reached to port. The project contemplates the transformation of the tariff and tangier ports for recharges the batteries that are then used by the ferries. It is about creating a space with a power of 5 MW in rate and 8 MW in Tangier to recharge the huge batteries of 8 MWh. It is estimated that in just 40 minutes the necessary batteries can be recharged to be able to make the next journey again. Among the batteries that are being used and recharged while the ship moves, 39 MWh will be available in electricity The set will have the possibility to move at a speed of up to 26 knots (just over 48 km/h) and will have Four diesel engines (with total power of 11,200 kW) to deal with the possible problems that may arise in the almost 30 kilometers of journey (18 miles). The company already has experience in the construction of electric ferries. In fact, Baleària has active one of them between Ibiza and Formentera although in this case it is a much smaller size. With capacity for 390 passengers and 14 trucks carry out four daily exits per direction. Photo | Baleària In Xataka | The biggest Byd weapon to conquer the world is a gigantic ship.

When the desire to finish tasks generates as much anxiety and problems as not doing them

by

Procrastination is the art of leaving all the workload To your future selfknowing that in the end it will touch you to do it, but with has a hurry and higher doses of Anxiety and frustration. However, and against all prognosis, there is also its counterpart: Precrasticationor not to bear to leave the tasks for later. Although it does not seem like it, precostination is an obsession that also It has negative effects. What is precostination? The term was coined by the professor in psychology David Rosenbaum in his study ‘Precrastication: Accelerate the achievement of a subopjective at the expense of additional physical effort‘In 2014. Rosenbaum showed with his experiment that people sometimes choose the option that implies more physical effort Just to cross out a task of your list. To get to that conclusion, the participants were asked to choose between two cubes with water that had to take to the end of a hall. One of these cubes was sometimes closer to the beginning of the hall and sometimes a little further. However, the researchers observed that, often, the participants chose the cube that was closer to the exit point to take it to the end, even when choosing the second cube meant loading it for a shorter distance. When asked why they had chosen the first cube, most participants replied: “I wanted to finish the homework as soon as possible“ This behavior marked a tendency to advance the task assigned to any cost, even at the expense of implying greater physical wear in the process. At work, this translates into the need to finish everything as soon as possible, motivated by the idea that speed is equal to efficiency. However, that is to start from a wrong premise since speed is not always efficiency. People with a tendency to precostination may feel satisfied at the end of the work ahead of time, but those hurries to finish the tasks can lead to errors and lack of focus on execution. “It’s like going to the supermarket, filling the basket with a lot of apples and continuing to buy carrying them despite knowing that you will go through the place where they meet when you go to the box,” explained the psychologist Obsessed with crossing homework Precrastication is a problem more common than it may seem. Who suffers its effects is often shown as an example of productivity in a society that values ​​immediacy and we need everything “for yesterday.” This affects the quality of work and it is not valued that, some tasks, require time and reflection. Precostination is not always easy to identify. We are completing tasks, believing that we are being productive. However, finishing things ahead of time, without due dedication, it can generate stress, errors and exhaustion. If you feel you need to balance your way of working, these tips can help you: 1. Plan your tasks If you are aware of your tendency to precostine, try to contain your first instinct to launch yourself to Complete everything immediately. Take a time to analyze and prioritize what tasks do you really need your immediate attention. You can use The ABCDE method to prioritize tasks according to their urgency and importance. 2. Set reasonable times Not all tasks must be executed at the time, so It is important to reflect about its impact on the project or your day. Before acting, ask yourself: “Is it necessary to solve immediately? Is it urgent to answer that email immediately or can you do it later?” Impose waiting periods For non -urgent activities for Force that reflection and give you space to reflect and address things with a clearer and more serene mind. It is very likely that you discover new ways of addressing it in a more creative way. A good strategy to face precrastination is the one proposed by the “Slow Work”, which defends the idea that work at a more leisurely pace It favors creativity, concentration and improves the quality of the final result. 3. Concentrate on one thing at the same time The impetus to finish tasks can make you fall into multitasking. An error that brings only heads to those who put it into practice, exhausting the energies and avoiding that The brain deepens in the tasks between hands. Instead of trying to cover everything at once, focus at the present time and Complete a single task After another. That will help you better value the resolution process of the tasks, instead of obsessing with the rapid results. 4. Live with uncertainty One of the features that leads the precostinators to finish tasks ahead of time It is his uncertainty intolerance of having pending things, in a kind of ‘Zeigarnik effect‘. Be aware that Everything has its rhythms and processes is key to face the need to cross out at all costs the tasks of the list. Practice patience and focus on what you can control. 5. Manage your energy He Mental exhaustion It is one of the greatest dangers of precostination. Knowing that there is an incomplete task is an additional mental burden for those who have a tendency to precostine. To avoid it, be sure to include regular breaks in your dayincluding them as another task in your day. This will allow the brain to recover part of its energy and you can address your tasks in the best cognitive conditions.

“They only defend being able to continue looked while protecting criminal organizations”

by

Cloudflare He has started legal actions against LaLiga by IPS blockages that are affecting thousands of legitimate websites. The technology has presented an incident of nullity against the sentence that covers these blockages, claiming that LaLiga obtained “hiding the foreseeable damage to third parties.” The reply. LaLiga has responded hard, accusing Cloudflare of being an accomplice of serious crimes. “While proclaiming that they are defenders of the open Internet, the reality is that they only defend themselves to be able to look, using other clients as digital shield, while protecting criminal organizations consciously,” the statement said. Between the lines. The organization chaired by Javier Tebas states that Cloudflare “He collaborates through his technology with the commission of the most serious crimes such as child pornography, pimperism, scam, etc.” It also denies the collaboration that Cloudflare says to maintain with other rights holders. In perspective. The conflict transcends Spanish borders. According to LaLiga, “in other countries such as France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal the rights holders have also sued Cloudflare in court for their absence of collaboration to eradicate audiovisual fraud.” Specifically mentions that in Italy they have breached “condemnatory judicial resolutions.” In Italy, the Court of Milan issued judicial orders against Cloudflare for facilitating the distribution of protected content without authorization. In December 2024, it was ruled that Cloudflare had to block the DNS resolution of domains associated with piracy and cease services such as CDN and reverse proxy used to violate copyright. In addition, a daily fine of 10,000 euros for non -compliance was imposed. In November 2020, the Higher Regional Court of Germany confirmed a court order that forced Cloudflare to prevent its users from accessing content made available to the public without authorization On the DDL-Music website. The contrast. While Cloudflare speaks of “millions of users” affected by the blockages, LaLiga says that this figure “scarcely reaches a hundred” and has challenged the technological to demonstrate it. To do this, you have enabled a mailbox where those affected can report incidents (affectedcloudflare@laliga.es). In parallel a joint complaint is being prepared. Then we play the statement that LaLiga has sent to Xataka in answer to The legal actions announced by Cloudflare: Before the statement that has made cloudflare public this Wednesday, LaLiga wants to clarify that the fact that Cloudflare says that he is usually collaborating with the rights holders to resolve illegal retransmissions is flatly false. However, in other countries such as France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal the rights holders have also sued Cloudflare in court for their absence of collaboration to eradicate audiovisual fraud. Specifically in Italy they have even breached these convictions. LaLiga, as she has always done with other Internet operators, has made a multitude of requirements to Cloudflare in search of their collaboration, which they have responded with unlikely technological excuses and incoherent ratifying their behavior. One more sample that, while Cloudflare proclaims that they are defenders of the open Internet, the reality is that they only defend being able to continue looked, using other clients as a digital shield, while protecting criminal organizations consciously. LaLiga is positioned as the defender of the Internet open equally, but never from an internet where crimes against intellectual property can be committed, and in the case of Cloudflare collaborates so that it is through its technology, with the commission of the More serious crimes such as child pornography, pimping, fraud, etc. Likewise, LaLiga denies again that there are massive and indiscriminate blockages of content, nor that they are clumsy or ineffective, but the result of an effective performance carried out by a specialized team, after exhaustive precautions at all levels. In its continuous commitment to protect intellectual property rights, and with the pertinent judicial protection, LaLig legitimate, being cloudflare the sole responsible for it. Before the inaction and unprotection of Cloudflare towards its own users, LaLig Those affected ascend, which the technology has used as a digital shield, as they assure. Since LaLiga estimates that this figure rare a few hundred. LaLiga reaffirms its commitment against audiovisual fraud and will take the relevant and provided measures in the judicial field if necessary, in its purpose of defending their intellectual property assets and the interests and integrity of their clubs and Internet users.

His name is Kizilelma, he is supersonic and does not need humans

by

While Europe debate If you enter the conflict with your troops to support Ukraineand the US and Russia defer the Margarita on that alleged peace agreement Where actors are missingthe war continues in the east. In fact, currently Ukraine manufactures weapons “faster and more cheaper” than any other place in Europeand that is a problem for the old continent, like Danish prime minister explained recently. However, of all updates That they are expected, none as a “package” that would arrive from Türkiye. A milestone and another one. At the beginning of the week a Ukrainian recognition brigade He published a video that showed a fact of the most relevant in the conflict: The destruction of one of the precious S-350 Air Defense Systems Vitlyaz de Russia In the Donetsk region. In this way, Ukraine hit the first example of Russian S-350 land defense system since the beginning of the invasion. We talk about one of the most advanced Earth-Aire missile systems in Moscow that has only rarely deployed in the conflict. However, this milestone may pass by shortly. Even war, as is known and freed these days, could change completely. If a few weeks ago we count that The contest had entered his argumentation Between drones, and later it occurred The first combined offensive of history without humansthe next thing could be an army of “fighters” between very different sides. From Türkiye they seem to have given Green light to that possibility: A first air fight between non -piloted machines against human pilots. Kizilelma: What do we talk about. We are facing An autonomous hunt furtive developed by BaykarTurkish company responsible for drones Bayraktar TB2 and Akinciwhich entered into series manufacturing phase with the initial production of 12 units in 2024. equipped with Ukrainian Ai-322F and AI-25TLT enginesis the supersonic drone that symbolizes the close collaboration between Türkiye and Ukraine, both in technological and political terms. Now, then overcome all the tests and with the serial production, the hunt, the first Turkish reaction autonomous, is ready to enter combat. In other words, we would be facing an aircraft that is emerging as a potential GAME-CHANGER In the conflict. His debut in the Ukrainian heavens could mark a historical moment: that first air fight between an autonomous hunt and a human pilot, anticipating a radical transformation into the modern war. Vanguardia power and technology. Kizilelma is an autonomous hunt capable of take off and land without human intervention and operate from short clues or small aircraft carriers without catapultsa capacity that differentiates it from its western competitors as The MQ-28 Ghost Bat and the XQ-58 Valkyrie. Its design reduces its profile in the radar, although it does not reach the “invisible” aircraft classification. In terms of fire power, Kizilelma has A load capacity of 1,500 kglower than the MQ-20 Avenger from the United States (2,900 kg), but enough to carry guided precision ammissions and air-aire missiles that would allow you to intercept Russian manned fighters. Speed ​​and performance. The hunt is distinguished by its speed and agility, key factors in air fighting. Its initial version It reaches a speed close to Mach 1 (1,100 km/h)surpassing any conventional drone. The second version, Equipped with a Ukrainian AI-322F motor with postquemorit is expected to exceed the sound barrier, entering the category of supersonic fighters. Its 12,000 -meter flight roof is lower than the Avenger (15,240 meters), but its design and maneuverability make it a more flexible platform for offensive and defensive operations, combining autonomy and speed in a single system. The poaching Ukrainian connection The relationship between Baykar and the Ukrainian government It comes from afar. The Turkish company uses Ukrainian engines in the Kizilelma and, According to Reutersplans to open a factory in Ukraine this year, the first out of Türkiye. Besides, Baykar’s position is openly pro-charanianhaving rejected economic proposals from other countries in exchange for military technology. Therefore, the role of Kizilelma in the conflict could be crucial. Its deployment in Ukraine would allow kyiv to compensate for the numerical inferiority of its air fleet against Russian fighters without exposing human pilots to danger. In addition, its potential to perform autonomous air fighting would make it the perfect weapon for wear operations, where the key will be artificial intelligence and the volume of units deployed. A rival for the West. Unlike other combat drones, Kizilelma is an aircraft designed to face manned fighters in direct combat. We said it before, while the United States and China have developed advanced drones such as The MQ-28 Ghost Bat and the Dark SwordTurkish hunting has already reached serial productionsurpassing its competitors in operational availability. The aircraft also has the advantage of being more accessible in costs than a manned gamewhich makes it ideal for countries that seek to modernize their air forces without depending on extremely expensive fighters such as the famous F-35. Although its price has not yet been revealed, it is likely to be significantly cheaper than its US equivalents, which makes it extremely attractive to export. The future of the contests. Already We have been telling before. The Ukraine War has become an offensive laboratory that The military perspective in conflicts have changed. Kizilelma symbolizes the future of these dominated military conflicts, in this case, By autonomous aircraft. In a world where air fighting will be defined by AI and the number of units deployed, Türkiye seems to have taken a step forward by launching an autonomous hunting with real combat capacity and mass production. Plus: that label Supersonic that I would change everything a little more .. No doubt, his arrival in Ukraine could change the air balance of the conflict. Russia, which still depends largely on manned fighters and conventional anti -aircraft defenses, would face a new threat difficult to counteract. With its speed, autonomy and combat capacity, the “Made in Türkiye” seems to be ready to change the modern war.

The first great fiasco in the AI ​​era is the AI ​​Pin of Humane. HP has put the last nail in its coffin

by

He Ai pin Humane was born as the first product of a company founded by former Apple employees, in order to make the smartphone concept obsolete. A 100% device focused on AI functions, with camera, laser projection to read Qualcomm text and processor. In Xataka we were able to throw the glove and, from the first minute, We were clear that I was not going to succeed. Behind him Commercial failure That had the product, the last nail in the coffin has put it HP. The company has bought a good part of Humane And the first decision after sale has been to stop selling and supporting the AI ​​Pin. A product that was just a few months in the market. The purchase. Humane will sell most of your company to HP for 116 million dollars. Both companies have closed an agreement through which HP is made the intellectual property of more than 300 patents of Humane, including its AI platform Cosmosthe AI ​​Pin operating system. What HP is looking for. According to Tuan Tran statements, HP Technology and Innovation President, “this investment will quickly accelerate our ability to develop a new generation of devices that organize without problems the requests for both the local and cloud levels.” In other words, HP wants to accelerate the implementation of AI in its products. A meaningful movement being the PCs with ia a new claim And having told Xataka the Ketan Patel himself, head of the HP PCs and Portable Division, who see the AI ​​as a crucial component for the future of the PC. The immediate consequence. Goodbye to AI Pin, without half inks. Humane has announced that the devices will stop connecting to their servers from next February 28. “We write to inform you that, with immediate effect, we will end the AI ​​Pin consumer service because our commercial priorities have changed.” The company has not shaken the pulse to justify it due to “commercial priorities”, and explained what will happen to the devices already sold. First, AI Pin stops selling immediately. After February 28, he will stop connecting to Humane servers, so he cannot access images, videos or notes taken with him. Similarly, from this day, all the data will be removed permanently. In summary, AI PIN will become a pisapapeles of 700 dollars in which you can only access offline functions such as … look at the battery level. The first great fiasco of the AI ​​era. That a product is 100% based on AI has a potential problem. If the company decides to forget it months later, you will have a Pisapapeles without any function. In the case of Humane have been changes in commercial priorities, but the list of possible reasons (commercial failures, business sale, technical problems, regulations, bankruptcy, etc.) that can be used in the future is unabarcable. The Humane case is a hard blow to the “AI Products” sector, throwing even more doubts about the reasonable (or not) to buy a device that depends 100% on a server.

Cloudflare begins legal actions against LaLiga for its IPS blockages. They are “clumsy and ineffective”

by

The open war between LaLiga and Cloudflare It is intensified. Since the beginning of February LaLiga has been ordering operators The temporary block of a series of shared IPS that belong to Cloudflare. The goal is to avoid illegal soccer matches, but those indiscriminate blockages are causing damage to third parties. There are many affected by blockages that are causing millions of users to not access thousands of websites during sports broadcasts. Not only users, but also companies that have lost operation and sales During those periods. IP blocks that affect Cloudflare are a measure that has been used in the past by other rights holders In other countries. Italy It is the closest case ours, but it is not clear that the way in which LaLiga is acting Have legal support. In fact, in Spain those affected are now raising possible legal actions against LaLiga. And precisely in Xataka we have received a statement in which it is officially announced that Cloudflare has taken legal actions against LaLiga claiming that their “disproportionate block efforts” are illegal. This is the full text of the statement: “As an open Internet defender for a long time, Cloudflare offers security and reliability services that protect millions of cyber attack sites and reinforce the infrastructure of the Internet. In recent weeks, LaLiga and Spanish ISPs have tried in a mistake address the problem of illegal broadcasts, on the alleged base of a recently issued sentence that would order IP addresses Cloudflare and other cloud service providers, a clumsy and ineffective approach that has prevented millions of users from accessing thousands of websites without any relationship with these activities. Cloudhiding the Court from the foreseeable damage to third parties and the public interest. LaLiga’s actions are a clear threat to the open internet. Cloudflare today presented an incident of nullity against that sentence, in order to establish that the disproportionate wool block measures are illegal. Cloudflare usually collaborates with rights holders to help solve problems such as illegal broadcasts, but LaLiga has not left Cloudflare another option to undertake this legal route. Instead of responding to the concerns of Spanish users about the over-lock of content, LaLiga has tried to divert attention with unfounded accusations against Cloudflare, while intensifying their illegal blockage practices. Cloudflare expects this judicial action to help prevent future indiscriminate blocking measures and make it clear that rights holders cannot put their commercial interests on the fundamental right of millions of consumers to access an open internet. “ In Xataka | This is how Ech works, the Technological Shield of Cloudflare that has put the operators between the sword and the wall

Jay Graber’s story, the CEO that is breaking the silicon valley mold

by

When Jay Graber went up to the stage of Techcrunch In December 2024his message was overwhelming: Bluesky It is built “billionaire proof”. “The armor is in the design,” he said. “If someone bought Bluesky or broke, everything is open source. What happened to Twitter could not happen to us.” With more than 24 million users after the US elections of 2024, Bluesky has become a serious alternative to X. It is not necessary to exaggerate and say that it is already at its height because it is not even much less, but at least there is one Alternative where there was practically only empty. The story of how to get led this little revolution is singular and contextualize your vision of social networks. The origins Born in 1991 in Tulsa, according to Forbeshis mother – a acupunturist who fled from the Chinese cultural revolution – gave him the second name “Lantian” (蓝天), “blue sky” in Mandarin. As he revealed Vanity Fairthis name represented a desire for “freedom without limits” for his daughter, born of his own experiences under an oppressive regime. His father, a professor of mathematics of Swiss origin, completed this multicultural environment that would mark his vision of the world. The coincidence with the name of the company that now directs is casual, Jack Dorsy had already baptized the project as “Bluesky” before. However, it seems a something prophetic, especially considering the vision of freedom and openness that Graber would bring to the project. After graduating in science, technology and society from the University of Pennsylvania, where I monde He reports that he co -founded a student time bank, Graber worked as a engineer in Skuchain and in a factory welding Bitcoins mining equipment, before joining ZCASH in 2016. As revealed in Decode, This early experience with decentralized technologies was fundamental: “I have worked a lot of time in decentralized technologies and I have seen its limitations, but I also believe that there are many limitations in centralized systems.” Bluesky’s birth In 2019, while running Happening Inc., she was invited to a group of experts convened by Twitter. “He was one of the experts in a small chat room,” he recalled during An interview in Decode, the podcast of The Verge “I was very excited. At that time I worked in my own social app, and had been building decentralized social protocols, playing with them, doing a lot of research.” In 2021 It was named CEO of Blueskyalready as an independent company. This independence was a key decision that she promoted. As she revealed, “I insisted that we separate as an independent company. If the captain changed or if that support disappeared, it would lose institutional support for Bluesky, and I really wanted this project to exist.” “Jack had a vision of something better for social networks,” he explained to CNBC. “We are building an open source social network that anyone can take and build on it. No one has been so open or put so much control in the hands of users.” In your conversation with DecodeGraber deepened this vision: “We want this to be the last social identity that you will have to createbecause you can move it between applications and services. You can carry your identity, your relationships and your data with you. “ According to data provided by Emily Liu, spokesman for Bluesky, to Newsweekthe platform added five million new users after the 2024 elections, mainly from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This explosive growth, as reveals The country“after the escaped flight of many users of X was intensified, once the news was made public that Elon Musk had been appointed co -director of the Donald Trump government efficiency department. “It is not entirely clear if there was a stampery as such and what magnitude, but that The dates of the rebound of users of Bluesky coincide with the post -electional. Monetization and leadership The challenge is now monetization. In “The Big Interview” of Wired, Graber announced premium subscriptions For high quality and customization videos. The company has raised 36 million dollarsincluding 15 million capital blockchain. And sooner or later he will have to return that money. “We are not going to build an advertisement algorithm that encloses users,” he told CNBC. With Twenty employees and one hundred moderatorsBluesky bets on an alternative model. As explained in depth to Decode, The platform is developing a “componable moderation” system which will allow users and communities to create their own rules and filters. “We think about the ‘bus problem’,” he explained to Forbes. “We have blocked everything so open that we cannot degrade the experience because we have opened the market to entrepreneurs.” This approach reflects The unconventional leadership style of Graber that, according to The country“He communicates directly with users, he is close and accessible. From his personal account, he writes threads explaining tricks to use better bluesky and usually reveals curious data with a sense of humor.” Rose Wang, Bluesky Operations Director, who met Graber in 2018 during a car trip to Lake Tahoe, describes her way of leading: “What does Jay so special is that in addition to being collaborative is a visionary, capable of anticipating ten steps to what is to come. “ The future Investor Mark Cuban told Forbes That Bluesky sees as a “really social” experience, although he made a nuance: his account in X has ten times more followers, a way of throwing a darting to the low penetration of the first against the second. This disparity does not seem to worry about Graber, who in Decode emphasized that the objective It is not to replicate the model of traditional social networks, but to create something radically different. Well. The future is about to be written. As Graber he told Wired: “We are focused on offering a good experience while we climb.” In Decodeexpanded this idea: “We have to show the first people that this vision can work, which is fun, useful, better than the … Read more

Young programmers no longer know how to program. AI is now causing the same as the calculator caused half a century ago

by

Myron Aub was a boiler man from the egg head, but all that did not matter. I had discovered how to do something that humanity had forgotten: I knew how to multiply without the help of a computer. After demonstrating it, the members of the new Pentagon were amazed: someone was able to multiply with a paper and a ball! All that imagined Isaac Asimov in his short novel ‘The feeling of power‘, originally published in February 1958. History, in just 3,700 words, is simply prodigious – I encourage you to read it – and raise a future in which human beings do not know how to perform mathematical operations and depend on computers for computers all. When AUB performs reverse engineering of this calculation process, it creates an extraordinary situation. One that leads to an equally surprising conclusion … and sadly predictable. I read that story about 30 years ago and then I found it fascinating – I am an absolute fan of the ‘Foundation’ saga of Asimov, but I hated the Apple TV+ series for betraying that legacy. The prolific author transmitted a clear message: perhaps it is not so good idea to depend too much on the machines. Or maybe yes? The programmers who did not know how to program It is what is certainly happening in the world of programming, which is undoubtedly the segment most affected by the arrival of artificial intelligence. The AI ​​models have proven to be valuable attendees when programming, and just six months after the chatgpt launch nine out of ten professionals used AI to program. The de facto models have become increasingly capable in this type of task, and the popularity of Tools as cursor has shown that The conquest of “effortless programming” Tab-Tab-Tab is increasingly clear. Even those who did not know how to program or knew, but not in certain programming languages, they are now capable of creating surprising applications. AI is not perfect, of coursebut one thing is clear: it is getting better. That, of course, raises a risk: let’s forget how to program. It is just what a developer named Namanyay Goel denounces, which In his blog he explained How “New Junior developers are not able to program.” The AI ​​allows developers to deliver more code than ever, but these young programmers do not know why that code works or if there would be another way to do things. According to their experience, the new generation of programmers use chatgpt or co -pilot or Claude at all hours. That, he says, allows them to deliver more code than ever, but according to this developer, These young programmers do not know why that code works or if there would be another way better to do it. “We are sacrificing deep understanding (of the code) by fast patches, and although that makes us feel good now, we will pay later.” Goel highlighted how not much places like Stack Overflow were a much better source of information for programmers. They asked things, but when they got answers they used to learn why those answers were valid. That knowledge was there for free, and also in many cases veteran developers and experienced people became involuntary teachers for new generations. “The AI ​​gives you answers, but the knowledge you acquire is superficial. With Stackoverflow, you had to read multiple expert discussions to get a complete vision. It was slower, but you ended up understanding not only what worked, but why it worked.” Of course, not everyone thinks the same and a commentator in Slashdot He pointed out How “Stackoverflow has been a source of terrible programming tips and an overdependence of copying and hitting for much longer.” However, Essste developer believes that not yet everything is lost. AI can help you, without a doubt, but you can also continue learning with it. “When you give you an answer,” he advised, “Ask him for her. Ask why (he has given that solution). “He also recommends debating that code with your team of developers to discuss and be able to get new ideas, or perhaps do so with developers who go to platforms such as Reddit, Discord or Mastodon. The calculator teaches us the future The reflection of that developer is undoubtedly striking, but for many it is a useless debate. In Slashdot a user named Zak3056 He affirmed Take two decades interviewing Júnior developers. “A surprising percentage of them did not understand basic concepts (…). AI has nothing to do with this. It is the state in which education is, many schools are creating graduates that simply do not understand the field they have chosen “ Other comments coincided with him, and the situation reminds other industrial and technological revolutions in which a profession or discipline have ended up being completely conquered by machines. We continue learning to perform mathematical operations, but after school there are not many people who do operations at hand: It is much faster to use the calculator. The calculators may cause some workers who performed that task to be displaced at the beginning, but their impact in the long run has been greatly positive. The calculators may cause some workers who performed that task to be displaced at the beginning, but their impact in the long run has been greatly positive To begin with, there are still mathematicians, but they are dedicated to much more complex problems than the machines are not yet able to solve – of the moment either – and the calculators made them even more valuable: they could focus on those problems, and Not in the calculations that could also be wrong because we assume it, the margin of human error is there. In addition, the calculators productivity and efficiency improved significantlysaving all kinds of professionals those most repetitive tasks to focus on others that other non -substitutable capacities (at least, for the moment) by the machines. Will something like this happen with AI and programming? It is very likely. AI has … Read more
