Everyone thinks that the Great Guiza Pyramid in Egypt has four sides. From space you look very different

by

A team of Japan researchers scanned under the sand surface in a “blank area” of Giza’s western cemetery next to the Great Keops pyramid. Had found something surprising: an old Egyptian structure in underground. That finding is still involved in the mystery, because it was dwarfed with Another study that he had discovered something fascinating: the great Guiza pyramid does not have four sides, and that explained His longevity. A wonder with trick. For millennia, the Great Guiza Pyramid It has been celebrated as the epitome of the perfect geometry: four imposing triangular faces converging in a majestic apex. However, an unsuspected structural detail had remained hidden with the naked eye: the pyramid It does not have four sides, but eight. Chronology. We are not crazy. The revelationconfirmed by air observations and Modern researchpoints to a concavity in the center of each face, one that is invisible from land, but detectable low certain conditions of lighting or from the sky/space. The first to realize something was the British pilot P. Groves In 1926, when captured an image Air that revealed a subtle but decisive geometric truth. Each of the four apparent sides of the pyramid has a central cleft from the base to the cusp, which turns its plant into a figure eight sidesNot in a home run. Already in 1940, the Egyptologist Flinders Petrieby analyzing historical illustrations, he noticed A hollow line along each face of the pyramid. Decades later, experts like IES Edwards And more recently the Mathematician Akio Kato They supported this hypothesis in their work, noting that the stone blocks were arranged with a Mild inclination towards the center, creating a subtle and almost imperceptible longitudinal depression. Kato described the great pyramid not as a square pyramid, but as a Concava octagonal pyramid. One of the first images where depression was appreciated (taken by groves) An engineering feat. The curious thing about history is that, far from being an aesthetic anomaly, these clefts aim to fulfill a Structural function vital. According to Kato’s study, the inclined layers next to a reinforced base allow the pyramid nucleus to Compacte and strengthen Over time, thus resisting gravitational compression, earthquakes and storms, even after having faced more than 500 episodes of heavy rains in 4,500 years. In other words: this characteristic would have been key to ensuring the long -term stability of a colossal size structure exposed to extreme conditions, and possibly was not a mere side effect of construction, but a sophisticated architectural strategy. Between intention and accident. However, not everything in the Great Pyramid responds to the master plan of an infallible civilization. Throughout their runners and sealed cameras, abandoned spaces have been found that could Unstable result During construction, which leaves open the possibility that the unique concavity has been, in part, the result of improvised adjustments rather than a completely premeditated design. No doubt, ambiguity does not remain merit to the ancient builders, but underline their pragmatism: modify the course when the conditions demanded it, and incorporate the accidental as part of the lasting structure. What the geometry hides. In short, that its mathematical truth has remained hidden with the naked eye for millennia highlights an essential lesson on The great pyramid: Secrets continues to reveal despite his universal fame. What seemed to be an elementary geometric figure becomes, under a new look from the air, a sample of invisible complexity, and technical decisions so advanced that today they still baffle us. The revelation of your Concava octagonal form Not only challenges our preconceived notions, but reaffirms the fascination that always accompanies Guiza, a pyramid that, as far as we know (and we do not rule out new surprises), is a unique geometric rarity in its species.

The reservoirs are almost 22% above the average of the last decade. There is an “but” important before celebrating

by

The forecasts of meteorologists seem to indicate that spring You have your days counted: Next week we will see an increase in the temperatures and models of the State Metorology Agency, they foresee that in the middle of June the rainfall is less than what is usual for these dates. Despite this, this short spring has been intense, and that It has been reflected In the reservoirs. 77.5%reserves. The latest data indicates that the water reserve has been placed this week at 43,407 cubic hectometers (HM³), 77.5% of its capacity. As it stands out The Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, to this have contributed “abundant” rainfall in the Peninsula and especially in Lugo, where 55.8 mm have been reached. The internal basins of the Basque Country (95.2% of its capacity), the Duero (92.6%), and the western Cantabrian basins (92.2%) They are the ones closest to their theoretical maximum. In the south stands out The River Basin Odiel, red and stonesat 91.7% of its capacity. Almost 22% more than average. We have been more than a year in which the reservoirs accumulate more water than the average of the previous 10 years. The current 43,407 hm³ represent an increase of 21.79% above the average of the past decade, 35,641 hm³. It is good news, but it should be remembered that the data of the Decenal has been significantly weighed by last decade. If we go To data from five years ago, we will see that the average filling of the previous ten years (2010-2019) was 74.3% global and 71.8% if we focus on the reservoirs of consumptive use. The average of the last 10 years is now quite far, in 63.7% for the set of reservoirs, and in 58.1% if we focus on consumptive use. Unequal state. As usual, there are marked differences in the filling level of the different basins. We indicated before some of those that are closest to the full filling, all of them above 90% of their capacity. At the other end, the southern and southwest basins remain at relatively low levels, highlighting the safe basin, at 31% of its capacity. The positive reading is that even this basin has seen its level of filling in recent months. This last week, in fact, the basin has seen an increase of almost 1% compared to the previous week. The Andalusian Basins of the Mediterranean, also among the most empty, have also experienced a slight increase in their volume, until approaching the 57.6% of its capacity. The negative note is put by the Guadalete and Barbate basin, the second with the lowest average filling (at 54.88%), which has lost six Hm³ in recent days, a reduction of 0.36%. Of course, the basin shows a markedly superior filling last year by these dates (30.28%) and also slightly higher than the average of the last 10 years (53.31%). The end of spring. The state of the reservoirs allow us to face with slight optimism an uncertain and imminent summer. Meteorological forecasts They point out a drastic increase in temperatures in the next few days, and not just that. Aemet’s medium -term predictions also indicate that the trend of the coming weeks will not only point to warmer temperatures than usual by these dates, but also towards precipitations below average. This seems to imply the end of spring, at least from the meteorological point of view, and the beginning of a summer that we do not know what will hold us.

The Curiosity Rover has been climbing a mountain of Mars for 12 years. I just sent an impressive video from above

by

He Increased Rover Curiosity He has sent to Earth a new Marte video that is simply a jewel: an immersive panoramic view of 30 seconds that transports us directly to the slopes of Mount Sharp. Look at it full screen because this is the closest thing to a walk on the red planet that we will have until Elon Musk puts the starship flights at the balance price. A family world. At first glance, the images captured by NASA’s rover last February could remind us of a desert landscape in Chile or the southwest United States. But do not deceive your eyes: that “saw” that is seen in the distance is actually the edge of the gigantic Gale crater, formed by the impact of an asteroid billions of years ago. Curiosity, a rolling laboratory to the size of a mini cooperation, was then ascending on the slopes of Mount Sharp, an imposing mountain of almost 5 kilometers of height sculpted by the time inside the crater itself. Since its arrival in 2012, the Curiosity Rover has traveled about 32 kilometers on the dusty Martian land, exploring the Gale Crater without rest. What we are seeing. The area where these images were taken, formally known as “sulfate carrier unit”, is full of saline minerals. Scientists believe that these minerals are the legacy of streams and ponds that dried eones, before Mars went from being a world potentially similar to Earth to the ice cream desert we know today. NASA invites us to get carried away by imagination: “You can imagine the silent and dim wind, or perhaps even the waves of a disappeared lake have long licking an old shore.” Rumbo to new mysteries. Although it has been on Mars for almost 13 years, the Curiosity expedition does not stop here. Left behind the Gediz Vallis channel, where about a year ago accidentally discovered elementary sulfur (A disconcerting finding, since on Earth it is usually associated with volcanic gases or bacterial activity). And now he is now heading towards a region with some intriguing geological formations called “Boxwork”. These structures, seen from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter orbiter, seem like a kind of spider web, with ridges extending for several kilometers that will probably need warm groundwater to form. And where there is water, it is already known, there is potential to find past life clues. The researchers wonder If you are “Boxwork” They could have housed old unicellular microorganisms and have sent the Curiosity Rover to find out. The Curiosity Rover seen from above for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe Another point of view. While Curiosity covers these long journeys on the Martian surface, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Follow it from above. On February 28, the Hirise Chamber of the ship captured the first orbital image of the rover in full displacement by the red planet In the image, Curiosity appears as a dark mota in front of a long trace of fingerprints that extend about 320 meters. Curiosity’s footprints can remain visible for months before the Martian wind erases them. Images | POT In Xataka | Curiosity continues to send us videos about Mars.

In full obsession with rare earths, a fairly common metal has jeopardized the green transition: Copper foul

by

The latest report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) on minerals has confirmed which He had been discussed for a long time: Today, the absolute leader is China. It is no novelty, but among all minerals there is one that runs a particular danger, and not precisely because of geopolitical control, but for the real risk of shortage. There is a problem with copper. Of all minerals, copper emerges as one of the biggest challenges. The IEA report He has warned That by 2035 there could be a supply deficit of 30 %, due to the drop in the mineral law, the lack of new discoveries and the high development costs. A set of problems. It can be explained in a very simple way In data: Only in 2024, copper demand grew 3%, mainly driven by investments in electrical networks in China. The growth of mining production has been modest, much lower than other minerals such as lithium or nickel. Further 70% of global capacity Copper processing is in the hands of China. 7% of global copper production is in regions vulnerable to floods and droughts. Is there any solution? According to Fatih Birol, director of the IEA, the challenge is serious but not inevitable. In statements to The Guardianthe need to accelerate permits and reduce bureaucratic obstacles, in addition to implementing public policies that provide guarantees of volume and fiscal incentives, is stressed. Another line of action that They have detailed It is international diversification and cooperation. Some countries have advanced technological abilities and refining experience; Others have abundant mineral resources and great geological potential. In this way, in the report They have underlined That establishing balanced alliances between both realities could unlock new productive capacities, reduce market concentration and strengthen the resilience of the entire supply chain. There are other methods. A complementary route that already begins to take shape is the recycling of copper. As the pressure on primary resources increases, recovering and reusing infrastructure metal and disused devices is outlined as another strategy. In addition, in certain non -critical applications, the partial replacement of copper is studied by other materials, Like aluminum either The Ruthenium. It’s not just about copper. The case of copper reflects a broader pattern: more than 50% of critical minerals are now subject to export restrictions. This includes from lithium to more unknown elements such as Gaul or Telurio. Chinese dominance in refining, higher than 70% in 19 of the 20 key mineralsmakes this country not only the largest producer, but the referee of the global energy future. Time is exhausted. And copper too. The paradox is clear: the more we want to move towards a cleaner and more sustainable future, the more we depend on an infrastructure that we have not yet secured. Copper has become a silent bottleneck, difficult to replace and even more difficult to climb in record time.

The Government of Spain, according to Techcrunch

by

In the world of cyberspiege, there are quite known names: Lazarus In North Korea, APT28 in Russia or APT41 In China. They are groups that, according to cybersecurity reports, operate with state support. Now, a new actor could join that list, and its origin would be especially striking: Spain. His name is Canea group that for years remained in the shadows and that has returned to the radar, According to Techcrunch Based on exemployed testimonies of the Kaspersky security firm. This group It was discovered in 2014 by the Russian company, which baptized him as a mask after finding that term in the malware code. The word, a colloquial expression in Spanish that can be translated as “mask”, ended up nameing a campaign that, according to Kaspersky, stood out for its complexity and amplitude. The group would have deployed an arsenal of tools adapted to different platforms, including Windows, Macos and Linux, as well as indications of versions for Android and iOS, although the latter were not technically confirmed. One of the most sophisticated cyberspage groups discovered by Kaspersky Among the technical capabilities described by Kaspersky They appeared the theft of encrypted documents, SSH keys, VPN configurations, keyboard pulsations records, screenshots and interception of conversations by Skype (now extinct) and network traffic. Their attacks were distributed using mails Spear Phishingthat simulated pages of Spanish media like the country, the world or public. One of the most striking indications that analysts identified was the chain “Cagen1amar”, a deformation of the expression “I shit in the sea”, hides in the malware code. Although Kaspersky never publicly attributed the authorship of the group to any state, several former employees of the company consulted by Techcrunch affirm that, internally, it was concluded that Careto operated under the commission of the Spanish government. “There was no doubt about that, at least not a reasonable (doubtful),” said one of them, while three other researchers supported that same hypothesis. The decision not to make it public would have been related to the internal policy of the company, which imposes strict restrictions on the formal attribution of attacks. One of the starting points of the investigation was an attack on a government institution in Cuba, considered “zero patient”, according to the testimonies collected by Techcrunch. The presence of ETA members on the island at that time –According to information published by El País and mentioned in filtered diplomatic cables– I could have aroused the interest of the operation. The researchers also detected other objectives: there were victims in Brazil, in Morocco and in Gibraltar. Illustration shared by Kaspersky The global scope of the group was reflected in the Kaspersky Technical Report: infections were identified in at least 31 countries, with a total of 380 victims. The most affected were in Latin America, Europe and North Africa. Among the objectives, according to the same report, there were governments, embassies, diplomatic organisms, energy companies, research centers and activists. After the publication of the report in 2014, the mask operators would have dismantled all the discovered infrastructure, deleting activity records and closing control and control servers, an unusual movement that, according to the researchers, evidences a technical capacity of highly trained groups. The name was hidden in the code A decade later, Kaspersky again detected activity linked to mask. In May 2024, the company announced that he had identified New infections in a Latin American organization that had already been attacked by the group at least in 2022 and 2019. There was also a trace of activity in a second victim in central Africa. Georgy Kucherin and Marc Rivero, Kaspersky’s researchers signed by the new report, They assure that Current operations maintain the same degree of sophistication and caution that a decade ago. “His attacks are a masterpiece“Kucherin told Techcrunch, although he also clarified that, from a technical point of view, it is still impossible to confirm which government is really behind the group:” Most likely, it is a state actor, “he said, although he added that at a technical level it is impossible to know. Neither the Spanish Ministry of Defense nor the Cuban government wanted to rule to date, according to Techcrunch. From Xataka, we have contacted both Kaspersky and the Ministry of Interior to collect an official assessment about the possible link with the Careto group. Kaspersky has responded to us that they do not usually comment on information based on anonymous sources, nor attribute the origin of cyber attacks to countries. At the time of publishing this article, the Interior Ministry had not responded.

Eating slowly is an old trick to satisfy us before. Now some researchers have an idea to make it easier: spicy

by

The spicy is a culinary element that is indifferent. It is not considered a flavor like sweet or acid, what molecules such as capsaicin do is “deceive” our sense of touch and make it think that we are burning ourselves. An evolutionary mechanism to prevent us from eating the fruit of some plants. More spicy, less calories? Now a team of researchers He has discovered A new potential in the spicy, to help us ingest less calories. The team observed in its study that the ardor feeling made the participants consume less food and with it, less calories. The key may be in something that we already know about previous studies: eating more slowly makes us eat less. What I would do The spicy It would be to eat slower, which in turn would increase the feeling of satiety and indirectly, causing us to eat less. “We know for previous studies that when people (eat) more slowly, they eat significantly less,” pointed in a press release Paige Cunningham, co -author of the study. “We suspected that making a more spicy meal could stop people. We think, we are going to try, in controlled laboratory conditions, if a small amount of spicy (…) will make people eat more slowly and therefore eat less.” Sweet, or spicy paprika. In his study, the team carried out three experiments in which a total of 130 people participated. The team prepared different versions of the same dish (more or less spicy) altering the proportion between sweet and spicy paprika in order to keep the taste altering only the spicy. “Science is proof and error. I prepared a recipe, and I saw how far the spicy could take, then we tried it,” Cunningham explained. The team recorded the participants during the food to monitor their behavior when eating. They checked how how much food they consumed, but also the water they drank, the duration of the food, speed, rhythm of chewing, etc. It is not water, that time. They could see that the participants ate less and that they did it more slowly, something that can explain as a mediating cause in the relationship. The team was able to contrast this with an alternative hypothesis, the possibility that they ate less because they drank more water and that is why they were filled before. This turned out to be the case. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Food Quality and Preference. It is not always easy. According to the team itself, previous studies have revealed that various food properties, such as texture and even food shape can have similar effects. Even A recent study Performed by the same team indicated that something similar happens when we burn with a food too hot. Introducing auditory patterns can also help. A Recent study He pointed out that there are different factors, for example gender, which affect the speed with which we eat our food. The same study indicated that there are also external factors, such as rhythmic patterns, which can make us eat faster or more slowly.

Elon Musk got outstanding in computer science. Who designed the computers they used did not approve with the same ease

by

Become one of the greatest fortunes in the history of humanity Obviously it requires certain skills, especially when that fortune has been obtained in The technology sector. Who stands out in the technological field, tends to qualify as “technology geniuses.” Elon Musk, for example, obtained excellent notes in complicated matters as computer science. Paradoxically, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, the most relevant names in the development of the computers that Musk used in their classes, did not stand out For your good notes During your student stage. His intelligence had a lot to do with it. Steve Jobs, the approved scraping A psychological report Prepared by the FBI on the student profile of Steve Jobs revealed that Apple’s co -founder had an average grade (GPA per grade point avenge) in secondary school of 2.65, which is equivalent to obtaining school grades between C and B. which could be considered as a scraping approved. However, despite obtaining such tight qualifications, the report He pointed outthat Jobs was extremely intelligent and with an exceptional ability to mold people of its environment manipulating truth and reality to achieve its objectives. When Jobs Fundo Apple, Those skills They served to attract the best talent by his side and convince them that they were able to design the best products in the world. Bill Gates, scattered talent In his autobiographical book, ‘Code Source: My beginnings’Gates reveals that during his high school in the exclusive Lakesid school he obtained grades that did not adjust to those of a preteen with the ability to quickly learn the complicated mathematical concepts that read in the books. “He was an avid generalist in a place where people focused on concrete matters. He didn’t fit, in summary, and he didn’t know how to solve it. So I pretended he didn’t want to do it.” The millionaire recognized that, although he was able to learn the subjects before his classmates, his attitude and behavior in class and with the rest of the students it was not adequate, and he did not feel motivated by the issues studied in class. However, all that changed when he discovered that he could create programs with the teletype of the “computer room.” Gates acknowledged that this moment marked a before and after in his passage through Secondary. He managed to focus And his notes improved immediately. ELON MUSK: Bright computer notes Elon Musk is the exception confirming the rule. A few weeks ago, Maye Musk, mother of the richest person on the planet With an estimated fortune of 419.6 billion dollars, he published in Your X profile An unpublished document: Elon Musk’s computer notes. Touch the image to go to the original message In his message, Maye Musk explained that, while reviewing his old family photos, he found a notification of the computer notes of the University of Pretoria of his son Elon Musk when he was 17 years old. “My genius child. Mom proud,” wrote the mother of the millionaire. In its qualifications it can be seen that the South African millionaire obtained the maximum score (A+) in programming and computer use skills. In response to his mother’s message, Musk said: “They told me that I obtained the highest score in engineering aptitude they have ever seen.” In other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI would say. “ High capabilities, low grades. The bad academic results – especially in the pre -university stages – of many of the people who have subsequently been considered “technological geniuses”, are not casual. The Scientific literature In this regard It is extensive and points to the existence of a link between the people with high capacitiesintellectuals with a Low school performance. Data from the Ministry of Education and Science estimated that around 70% of students with high capacities registered low school performance. The main reason for school failure among these students with high capacities is the lack of motivation to follow the rhythm of the classes. This, as Gates said in his book, It generates dispersion And his curiosity was aimed at learning on other issues that had nothing to do with the subject he had to study. On the other hand, the social factor and Its integration with the rest of the students It is also a key component for school success in these cases.

Someone wondered what would happen if we allowed all athletes to do. The result is already here: improved games

by

“Imagine that a 60 -year -old beat the Usain Bolt world record.” Sounds crazy, but that is the phrase that left last year during An interview with The Guardian Aron d´souza, the founder, president and visible face of Enhanced. His words matter because D´Souza is organizing, with the support of some outstanding investors, the Improved games (Enhancend Games), a sports competition that will open the door for your athletes to dop and consume drugs prohibited by sports federations. The objective is the one that D´Souza commented: to knock down barriers and leave behind the brands of Usain Bolt or other apparently unbeatable plusmarks on the tracks. The idea, of course, has generated a huge stir and has already led to international experts and agencies to alert of its dangers. Las Vegas, May 2026. That is the city and the date on which improved games want to make their great start. In An act held this week at Resort World Las Vegas, D´Souza and his team announced that the first competition open to the consumption of drugs vetoed by the sports federations will be held next year, between May 21 and 26in “The city of sin.” More specifically, in a complex built for tests within the Resorts world las vegas With clues and pool. A for world records. There the athletes who participate in the tournament will compete in three disciplines: swimming, athletics and lostfilia, with different categories in each. For that purpose, the organizers will prepare a 50 -meter pool with four lanes, a six -lane speed track, a special scenario for weightlifting and something so (or even more important): A succulent list of metallic awards. In addition to the premiums for participating, Enhanced will offer a reward of $ 500,000 per proof, of which 250,000 will go to the pocket of the first classified. If any of the athletes hit a world record in the “definitive tests” (100 meters smooth and 50 m free) will also pocket a gratification of one million dollars. The objective is evident: spray plusmarks. For now and to open appetite, the organizers They assure that one of its swimmers has already managed to overcome a 2009 record. The keyword: doping. What defines improved games is not who, where and when they organize, but how they raise the tests. Its great hallmark is that they open the door to the use of drugs or treatments vetoed in official competitions. “Unlike traditional sports agencies, Enhanced does not prohibit substances that improve performance, but also bring them to light, with total transparency, safety and medical supervision,” Underline. Throughout the last months the organizers They have stressed that treatments will not be administered “in any way” and athletes will have to pass “thorough medical recognitions.” In The same report of The Guardian in which D´Souza talked about breaking Bolt’s records even states that organizers will not accept illegal substances and their drugs must have been legally prescribed. Of course, compliance with the standards seems to depend on the collaboration of athletes. “Sport stagnated”. Although the appointment has generated A considerable controversythe organizers have loaded it as an epic and insist that their goal is to open horizons. “We live in a world transformed by science, from vaccines to AI. But sport has stagnated. Until today. We are not updating the regulation, we are rewriting it,” claims D´Souza. Enhanced’s website includes other ideas Roundsuch as “superhumanity” or “future of sport.” “We are creating a new category of excellence, a world where drugs to improve performance are used safely, open and supervised.” “In 1896 Baron Pierre de Coubertin reinvented the old Olympic Games for his time, an era of nationalisms,” Reflect. “Now we are reinventing the Olympic Games again … to create a completely new formula, not sport, but of humanity.” Apart ideas, the truth is that the organization He has recognized who hopes to enter millions of dollars for the issuance rights and in The same statement in which he informs of the first improved games slides that plans to launch at the end of this summer a company dedicated to “improved performance products”. “Dangerous, not very ethical and harmful”. Not everyone shares the enthusiasm of D´Souza and his team. On the contrary. Since Enhanced revealed his plans and especially after the confirmation of his first “games”, there have been few voices that have risen to pronounce against the idea. This week the Sport Australia Athlete Advisory Group He warned that “the normalization” of drugs to improve performance “promotes doping as entertainment, putting athletes at risk, and devalues ​​the efforts of those who choose to compete clean.” For the organism, the concept of improved games is “dangerous, not very ethical and harmful.” And it is not the most resounding opinion about it. Travis Tygart, Executive Director of the US Anti -Doping Agency, He thinks that the initiative is “a dangerous clown show, not really sport” and the world anti -doping agency speaks of “dangerous and irresponsible project.” Others They pull irony And they have baptized the Enhanced Games of “steroid Olympics.” An appointment, several names. If the improved games have achieved so much impact is not only because of their challenging and controversial approach. To its visibility has helped (and much) that Enhanced has managed to embark in the initiative some prominent names of the world of finance and sport. Among the first figure Peter Thievel either Donald Trump Jr. Among the second, the Australian swimmer James Magnussentwice world champion of 100 m free. And to him others have joined such as the Ukrainian plusmarchist Andrii Govorov or the Bulgarian Josif Miladinov, European silver in 100 butterfly. One of the names that have sounded the most in recent days has been however that of Greek Olympic swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev, who According to Enhanced He has already managed to break the world record of 50 m free with a mark of 20.89 seconds, which would exceed the one achieved in 2009 by Cesar Cielo. The BBC points out that, … Read more

There are accusations of threats and blackmail to specialized media

by

Nvidia launched its new RTX 5060 graphics cards on May 19, ”he had presented A month before-. On paper the proposal was interesting: despite being more modest, they have the DLSS 4 technology And they are the most affordable of the family. If your budget is adjusted, they could be an interesting option. But to be sure, the ideal is to wait for specialized media to analyze these cards and throw their conclusions. And that was the beginning of a launch as controversial as disastrous. Oh, what coincidence. Curiously, Nvidia chose that day as a release date knowing that most experts would be in the most important event of the year for this sector: the Computex fair in Taiwan. That was much more difficult for these analysts to properly analyze the product if the company sent them the evaluation samples. Something that, by the way, did not happen, as they explained a month ago On the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channelone of the best known in this area. No controllers. As they point out In The Vergeeven if the experts had had cards before the event, Nvidia had the perfect way to prevent their analysis from May 19. The company would only have to refuse to provide the controllers (drivers) of the graphics, without which they do not work perfectly, especially when playing. You can pass the tests, but only the ones we tell you. Not happy with that, in Nvidia they sent some RTX 5060 to some media and provided them with preliminary controllers. But they did it with one condition: they could only try five concrete games at 1080p resolution, with other specific parameters and only comparing them with two other graphs (3060 and 2050 Super) so that the 5060 was winning. And threats. In The Verge they highlight how in some cases Nvidia threatened to veto access to future releases if they did not make unequal comparisons in which the AI ​​that gives access to multi frame generation technology (MFG) was activated in the 5060 but not available in its competitors so that the difference was even more remarkable. War with YouTubers. Nvidia even decided to threaten Gamersnexus to cut future access to her releases. We are talking about one of the best known and most known YouTube channels in the world in the field of hardware analysis for PC, and that has precisely become famous for report This type of situations In the past. Steve Burke, its creator, explained in a recent video how communication with those responsible for Nvidia was. He even recorded the conversation and commented on the video “Nvidia, I am prepared to publish it (the audio)” if necessary. A terrible situation. Companies have perfect right not to send their products evaluation samples and launch them directly to the market, but this way of trying to control the narrative and the message is clearly worrying. The media will end up having the same access to him as the rest of the users, but the risk here is reputational: if Nvidia does not send the cards to the analysts and is doing this type of movements, it is because the graphs are probably not as interesting as they try to see. And if that happens, the company ends up taking a reputational blow that is added to that of the entire RTX 5000 family, which is a modest generational leap – we saw it With our analysis of the RTX 5080 and 5090– Except in the event that we can take advantage of DLSS4 technology, which is not always possible. The worst thing is that they probably do not compensate. Since then, independent analysis has appeared. The data of Techspot They reveal that this card is essential Of course the Imminent AMD RX 9060 XT that will be launched in June. Nvidia must reconsider. The gamer market has long since seems to be in the background for the companywhich has become One of the most valuable of the world thanks to its ia chips. The problem is not that your Gamers disappointment graphics cards are that they try to hide or disguise reality with this type of measurement.

They are algebra courses and programming tutorials

Pornhub is known worldwide as a video of adult video, but in recent years it is being seen educational material among its pornographic content: algebra classes, mathematics tutorials, Educational Videos on Programming, EXPLAINERS about neuronal networks … Why Pornhub? And not youtube? What does this channel have to attract the disseminators? CHANGHSU. The case that was first announced is that of this Taiwanese mathematics professor 34 years old that gives classes (in Chinese) of advanced mathematics. He has published more than 200 educational videos on the platform and has made public In interviews How much it earns with them: more than $ 250,000 a year. In this case it is its only content, but there are others more relevant for its intermediate state between the educational and the erotic Zara Dar. This userfor example, he caught attention with this type of content because it is also an erotic model that has developed his career in Onlyfans and that in Pornhub, however, he has opted for videos with the little erotic titles of ‘What is a loss function in automatic learning?‘ either ‘What is a convex function? – Decrease in gradient part 1‘. Although everyone is around 50,000 visits, they have some that exceed 350,000. Counted to 404Media That your success may be due to the contrast between your videos and the rest of the page (obviously, take a look at your main page, although your videos are safe, it is already extremely NSFW for everything that surrounds them). Why Pornhub. The question is why the preference for this platform for this type of content is due, and according to Changhsu, it is very simple. Pornhub is one of the most visited websites in the world, with more than 100 million visits per day. This great audience presents a unique opportunity for creators of educational content to reach a much broader audience than on traditional platforms. And since the platform is not segmented by the usual thematic interests, the content can reach users who would not otherwise seek tutorials or classes. Less restrictions. But there is more: Pornhub does not put any type of restrictions on these contents, which of course would not make sense in terms of censorship, but this benefits them, since It does not make them fall victims of restrictive algorithmswhat is also known as “Filter bubbles“, as would happen on platforms such as YouTube, prone to show less specialized content. In this way, creators can experiment with formats and have no need to enter the games to study the algorithm to” convince you “to show them more spectators. Brutal shock. According to Changhsuthe contrast to what the Pornhub visitor expects to be essential: there is a deliberate break of social norms and expectations. The appearance of videos of mathematics and science defies these spectatives and resignifies the meaning of virtual space, since it is inevitable to ask: Why should education be restricted to “formal” platforms? They are not the only ones. Although these are the most famous cases, there is a whole subculture of “safe” videos in Pornhub. They are almost metalinguistic games with expectations and go beyond the merely educational. For example, gameplays of ‘Minecraft’, fetish videos without nudes, conventional interviews with porn actresses, non -erotic parodies using pornographic terms such as hook … unfortunately, many of them were eliminated when The rules of use changed and 10 million videos of unregistered users were eliminated. In that raid With legitimate intentions (Pursuing child pornography), unfortunately, one of the most curiously ironic phenomena of modern Internet fell.
