Apple has put an internal date to its great leap in AI

by

Siri, as we know it, continues to fulfill its function, but it takes time without experiencing an important evolutionary leap. The advance of generative artificial intelligence in recent years has changed the panorama: He has taught us what is possible and has raised the bar. Many users have started waiting for something else. A more fluid Siri, more intuitive. That idea began to take shape in the WWDC of 2024when Apple presented Apple Intelligence. Among its many functions, one stood out: a new redesign Siri, capable of understanding our consultations based not only on what we say, but also on what happens on the screen and the use we make of the iPhone. A Siri who, finally, was going to make the leap. A pending jump. In March, Apple itself acknowledged that these functions They would not be ready until 2026. AND At the developer conference held this weekthere were no news. In a later interviewCraig Federight explained that, although they had a functional version, they decided not to launch it because it did not reach the level of reliability that Apple considers acceptable: “It would have been more disappointing to launch something that did not meet our quality standard. We made the decision we believed better. And I would take it again.” New window on the horizon: Spring of 2026. Although there is no official communication, Bloomberg has published that Apple has marked as an internal objective the spring of 2026. According to the sources consulted by Mark Gurman, the company plans to launch the new Siri along with iOS 26.4, an update that normally arrives in March. It is the same launch window that has been used in previous years with iOS 17.4 and iOS 18.4. That calendar, however, is far from being closed. The sources insist that everything will depend on how development evolves in the coming weeks. If the advance is solid, it is not ruled out that Apple shows a preliminary version next to the new iPhone this fall. But, today, there are no definitive decisions. Technical challenges. The new Siri is not only an update. Internally, the change has been deep. According to the American media, one of the greatest challenges was the coexistence between two architectures: the classic Siri system, which continues to manage basic tasks such as timers, and the new AI engine that should take care of the most advanced functions. The redesign brought changes in the organization chart. John Giannandrea, until now responsible for Siri, lost control of consumer products. The project was in the hands of Mike Rockwell, creator of Vision Pro, and Craig Federight. Rockwell currently leads the development of Siri LLM, the internal system that will support the new functions. Apple’s strategy. In this week’s presentation, Apple opted to show Liquid Glass and functional improvements in their operating systems. There were news in iOS, iPados and Macos, and also in AI: Open Language Models to developers, Spam call detectionbut nothing of the new Siri. At the moment, the only thing that is known with certainty is that there will be no new Siri in 2025. And that, if everything goes well, we could see it in spring of 2026.

The US Navy wants to modernize its F/A-18 with sensors that cost 16 million each. They do not resist 40 hours without failing

by

There are more modern, more expensive, newer fighters. He F-35for example, with his futuristic cabin and his advanced stealth. Or the F-22 Raptorless young, but so well known that you barely need a presentation. Even the future F-47. But while that happens, a good part of the United States aerial muscle continues to rest on the shoulders of a veteran: the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. A plane that began to fly in 1995 and that, with constant updates, it is still the versatile hunting par excellence of the Navy. The challenge is to keep it up. And for that, added added. One of them is the IrST Block IIan infrared search and monitoring system designed by Lockheed Martin. It is integrated into a modified central deposit and Cuesta, According to the latest GAO report16.6 million dollars per unit. Its function is to detect threats from long distances without the need to turn on the radar, which allows the pilot to “see without being seen.” A key tool against poachers, long -range drones and environments with intense electronic warfare. In theory, a tactical jump. In practice, for the moment, a problem While IrST Block II has already been tested in real operations, and its capabilities are well documented, it has a serious obstacle: reliability. According to the same GAO report, the system fails, on average, Every 14 hours of flight. The minimum required by the Navy is 40. That is, the sensor does not endure even half of the time that should suffer a critical failure. And this is making its large -scale deployment difficult. During the operational tests carried out between April and September 2024, the IRST Block II showed unstable behavior. According to a Dot & e reportthe system suffered unexpected flights in full flight, software blockages and hardware failures that, in many cases, required direct assistance of engineers from Lockheed Martin. The marine maintenance crew could not solve them alone. The failures are not limited to software. In 2023, a previous GAO report warned that between 20 % and 30 % of the manufactured components did not comply with the technical specifications. They identified themselves Microelectronics problemsthe cooling system and the general assembly of the Pod. Although some of these deficiencies have been corrected, but many others persist, as we have just seen above. The schedule of the program has been deteriorating year after year. The decision to go to production in full cadence was scheduled for early 2025, but was postponed. And that has consequences. The Irst Block II is not just a punctual improvement: it is an essential piece within the effort to keep the Super Hornet competitive against more modern rivals such as China and Russia. The ironic thing is that while the navy still hopes to trust its star sensor, the American Air Force has already integrated similar systems in its F-15 and F-16. In Western Europe, Eurofight Typhoon also incorporates a similar solution. Apparently, operating from an aircraft carrier implies other conditions, and that is complicating things for the US Navy.

Canva demands candidates for their use

by

The use of artificial intelligence in Personnel selection processes It is generating an intense debate in the technological sector. On the one hand, companies are shown anxious to implement ia in their processes and encourage their employees to use this type of tools to improve your productivity. On the other hand, some companies consider a trap that candidates resort to tools from AI during work interviews or in the selection processes. Between so much contradiction, in Canva,The Saas de Design Service, have decided to make the use tools of AI into an essential requirement for their future employees and invites them to use them during their technical tests, as he collected The Register. Canva changes the rules. Canva has taken a radical turn in its personnel selection process. Now, candidates to cover development positions must use programming assistants based on artificial intelligence during technical tests, As explained Simon Newton, Canva Platform Chief in a statement. This decision is based on the fact that “almost half of the Canva Border and Backend engineers use a programming tool assisted by AI” daily, which converts the Use of AI tools in something expected and fundamental for the work they will develop in the company. “We believe that AI tools are essential to maintain productivity and competitiveness in the development of modern software.” Change of criteria. The development manager confessed that there has been a change in criteria in this regard. “Until recently, our interview process demanded candidates to solve programming problems without the tools they would use at work,” said Newton. By prohibiting the use of these tools, Canva realized that I was not evaluating correctly The skills of their candidates maintaining technical criteria that had become obsolete, forcing them to use them clandestinely. “Instead of fighting this reality and trying to control the use of AI, we decided to adopt transparency and adapt to this new reality. This approach gives us a clearer idea of ​​its real performance by joining our team,” said Newton. Internal discrepancies. Despite the logic of the reasoning offered by the head of Canva, not all of its employees They have taken good The change of criteria in interviews. Some of their engineers assured that the selection tests had become “sessions of Vibe Coding“ However, Newton has wanted NEW WORK CONTEXT. “We continue to evaluate the foundations of computer science through the new process and we hope that engineers assume the full responsibility of any code they produce, whether they have written them themselves or with the help of AI,” Newton wrote in his statement. Criteria disparity with AI. Many companies continue to consider that the use of artificial intelligence in technical interviews is an unfair advantage or even An unacceptable trap during the selection process. In some sectors, it is feared that candidates can hide their lack of real knowledge by relying on AI to overcome the evidence, which has led some companies to demand face -to -face interviews to avoid its use. In fact, paradoxically, even companies like Anthropic, which Claude develops, has asked its candidates that do not use the To fill in applications for vacancies. On the other hand, technology companies such as Duolingo and Shopify are actively promoting the use of artificial intelligence Among its employees and encouraging them to form In its use. This trend indicates that, in a short time, other companies could follow the steps of Canva and assess the domain of AI as an essential skill to access their work teams.

Chery believes that China can get the same quality as Europeans in half of time. And in Spain it is working

by

Speed ​​and adaptability. Those are two of the pillars on which Chery’s strategy is based on Europe. The company has broken into the Spanish market with force despite having a handful of models distributed among three different companies. Lilian Xiong, Vice President of Chery, explains why these Chinese brands have managed to advance so fast. “We need three or four years”. That is time, according to Xiong, those who need to build a car like omoda 9 “since we design the initial concept until we have the model.” Words pick them up Business Insider in an interview with the board. In it, he explains that his ability to adapt and speed are two of the great differences that exist with Europeans. And, in fact, The round trip between Europe and China It is a good example of how this is happening. While in Europe, Chinese cars do not stop gaining land, in China the western ones lose it by Not knowing how to adapt to the tastes of the local market. We know what they are talking about. As we explain when Xiaomi presented its novel interior For the Xiaomi Yu7, in Xataka We have had the opportunity to know the speed with which Chinese brands work. In informal talks, workers of these companies have explained that the proposals that in European groups would extend for years here apply it in a few months. We know that some cars have arrived in versions of preiest very little adjusted to what the Spanish public claims and shortly after they have presented themselves to the press and have put themselves in the concessionaires with the suspension and the refined direction. Components have even changed in the vehicle itself. Adaptation. That ability to adapt is another of the great advantages that Chinese cars are offering. Chery cars (omoda, Jaecoo and Ebro) are being refined in Europe to adapt to what the European public expects. Xiong points out that for that, its Barcelona plant is key since they did a previous job before confirming the landing. But not just them, Leapmotor is refining her cars in BaloccoAlfa Romeo’s house, to put cars that do not small suspensions and extraordinarily soft directions, as is the case in China. Also byd has proposed to do the same using Your Hungary plant and the new departments that Xpeng is opening in Germany They also point to that address. The software. Another key piece to attract the public is that cars begin to be defined by the software and not so much for the hardware. “Before producing a car was based on the assembly of pieces. Now they are much more important elements such as software, which will mark a great change in industry,” says Xiong in the interview. This, in a market where the car has increased and interior materials are no longer as luxurious as before, it is key. You just have to get on board the Omoda 5 To verify that the quality of its camera is much better than that of European rivals despite having a lower cost. Or what OMODA 9 equipment is very wide (Electric seats, heated and ventilated with massage, speakers integrated in the headrests, 14 speakers Sony equipment …) offering better impression than most of its rivals. It shows in the price. That approach of focusing on the software and not so much on the hardware, understood as the body and the vehicle’s chassis, is not unique to Chery. Specialists in riding and disassembling cars They already alerted Toyota a few months ago that his way of working was becoming obsolete. The problem is that the Japanese had taken an extreme care in Perfect even the unspeakable carspaying maximum attention to every detail. However, Byd or Tesla saved many pieces, kilos and money in their vehicles because they use greater number of plastic components instead of heavy metals. Without vibrations of the combustion engine, the dashboard parts were subjected to less stress. And also in time. All this allows them to reduce the price and increase the profit margin thanks to a less complex and faster production. Focusing “what is seen” more than in the bowels of the vehicle is a decision that is conquering the public. In what we have been, the Chery group has enrolled in Spain more than 11,000 cars, which places them at the same level as Opel and begin to approach Ford or Citroën. However, all of the above are marks settled while Omoda arrived with 2024 already startedJaecoo did not do the same until second half of the year and Ebro only has a handful of months Selling their cars in our country. And, above all, they have managed to add more than 11,000 registrations between January and May despite the fact that until the arrival of omoda 9 and the Ebro S800 They had more than three cars in the market (one for each of them) and they are still a newcomer company. So newcomer that, in fact, omoda is only three years behind. Photo | Omoda In Xataka | Family and friends keep asking me if “it is worth buying a Chinese car.” This is my answer

Xiaomi is not alone in his plan to sweep American technology of his electric cars. Xpeng is stepping on his heels

by

2025 is being a Year of challenges for Chinese companies. The country is accelerating in its effort by reduce American dependenceand the semiconductor industry is the main key to achieve it. Who dominates knowledge in chips will dominate the world. Xiaomi knows it and the design of his own chip, the Xring 01It is proof of this. It is a very different approach to that of Huawei, vetoed of American technology, since He has achieved this milestone with the help of TSMC. The company claimed to be working on its own chips for electric cars, in an exercise to reduce dependence on companies such as Qualcomm or Nvidia. They are not alone in this battle: Xpeng A SUV has just launched in China with a processor signed by the company. The XPEng G7. Before understanding the chip, it is convenient to understand who its bearer is. The company launched the G7 yesterday in Chinaan electric SUV that points directly to Tesla Model Y. Double battery, autonomy of 702 kilometers according to the Chinese homologation cycle and 292 hp of power and … three Turing chips designed by Xpeng. One of the XPEng pillars is in the assisted driving, so far vitaminated by Nvidia chips. The manufacturer remains small compared to Gigantes such as Byd or Geely, but their message is clear: they want to be leaders in autonomous driving technologies. THE THREE TURING CHIPS. In honor of the computer legend, Alan Turing, the three chips that this electric car incorporates their name. According to Xpeng, each of its chips triples the processing capacity of a conventional chip: its three Turing chips are equivalent to Nine Nvidia Drive On chipsone of the most used platforms by manufacturers that are committed to the autonomous vehicle. Platform, by the way, with more than three years of life. Xpeng took five years to develop Turing. “There are so many different chips in a car that, when we decided to make internal chips, we decided to go for the most challenging, and that is the chip of AI,” we also think if we should take over during the trip, since the cost is too high. “ The joint capacity of these chips, according to Xpeng, is more than 2,000 tops (more than 700 tops per chip), a capacity that triples the 250 tops of the Nvidia Drive Orin chips launched in 2022. This capacity makes it a vehicle capable of running autonomous level 3 driving functions of level 3, although they are not active. Why is it important. The XPEng movement settles a clear trend of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers: commitment to national chips to avoid dependence with NVIDIA and other US manufacturers. They have not transcended details about the external function that manufactures the chips for Xpeng, but it is known Both Nvidia and Xpeng have had an engineers in recent years. Xpeng has been working on an own software platformwhich works together on an integrated platform with the most advanced hardware in Some of its vehicles: Lidar sensorshigh resolution cameras, millimeter wave radars. Interior of the XPEng G7. They are not alone. Xiaomi has claimed to be working on his own chips, the Chinese giant Nio announced last year his first internal intelligent driving chip, the SHENJI NX9031built with an architecture of 5 nanometers, and Huawei develops its own chips to nurture brands such as Aito, Luxeed and Maextro. The key is that both Xiaomi and Nio do not seem to close alliances with US partners. The Shenji Nx9031 and its 5NM process chiva that It has not been manufactured by SMIC or within China. This mixed exercise allows, while the United States continues to provide access to its technology, not to depend for the design and implementation of the chip, although for its manufacture. Spain rubs its hands. Xpeng recently brought its XPEng G6, G9 and P7 to Spain, so nothing prevents G7 from landing in our territory. The company is looking for factories in Europe To avoid tariff pressure, and intends to expand by markets beyond your native country.

Psyllium went viral as a “natural alternative to Ozempic.” Reality is not so simple

by

Like any revolution, Ozempic came with promises and A hidden price. Then the side effects, the cost and the need for a medical prescription arrived. While its shadow is lengthened, an alternative option is born that does not need punctures through an millenary seed. The shell of a seed. What began as a traditional remedy in southern Asia today is a trend in Tiktok. More than 13,000 videos under the hashtag #psylliumhusk show how this fiber is incorporated recipes, Challenges and Tips for losing weightcalm appetite or improve digestion. But behind the viral phenomenon there is something much simpler: the Psyllium is the peel that surrounds the seeds of the ovata plantgo, a discreet but effective plant. Also known as Psilio, I know has used For years as soft laxative thanks to its ability to form mass and facilitate intestinal transit. The product can be consumed in dust, capsules or in its raw form, reminiscent of wood chips. Upon contact with water, this soluble fiber forms a thick gel. And it is precisely this viscosity that explains a good part of its benefits. Science behind. The secret of the Psyllium is how it reacts to water, since it absorbs and forms a thick gel. This process helps reduce appetite, improve intestinal transit and control cholesterol and blood sugar. In fact, an investigation He has confirmed ityou just have to consume between 10 and 15 grams daily to even reduce LDL cholesterol, the considered bad. Not everything is so simple. Although the enthusiasm in networks is understandable, experts ask for caution. First, for a security issue, since the Psyllium needs at least one liter of water for every 20 grams of fiber has pointed to The Guardian Lena Beal, spokesman for the Nutrition and Dietary Academy. The reason is none other than if it is not consumed without sufficient liquid, it can become a danger of suffocation or cause intestinal obstructions. It is not for everyone. It is not for everyone. Because it is natural, it does not mean that it is harmless. From Cleveland Clinic They do not recommend it in people with difficulties in swallowing, serious intestinal diseases (stenosis or crohn disease) or in cases of chronic digestive disorders. It is also advisable to take precautions if you are taking medication, since the fiber It can interfere. Natural Ozempic? Comparisons are always hateful, as the saying goes. The Psychlium shell does not alter the hormonal system as the GLP-1 agonists do. And although it can support weight loss, it does not do so in a powerful way or in all cases. More support. Because consuming more fiber is one of the most consistent recommendations of Modern nutritional science. In the end it is about incorporating improvements in the long -term diet, support that comes with a broader look on what it means to take care of yourself.

The modern plane to London that crashed in India shortly after taking off

by

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner From Air India that covered the route between Ahmedabad and London Gatwick crashed shortly after takeoff this Thursday. According to Reutersin the device 242 people were traveling, and the authorities believe for the moment that more than 200 have lost their lives. Identification and rescue tasks continue on the ground, while an investigation has already been launched that could be extended for months. The accident has returned to Boeing in the focus of attentionin a context in which the company still drags the consequences of several delicate episodes, mainly Those related to your 737 Max Aircraft Family. A key model for Boeing, without mortal claims so far The 787 Dreamliner was one of Boeing’s biggest technological bets so far from the century. As the company itself saysentered service in 2011 with All Nippon Airwaysand since then it has accumulated more than 1,000 units delivered to airlines around the world. The model is present in the fleets of companies such as Qatar Airways, British Airways, Singapore Airlines or Air India, that operates about thirty units. Aviation Safety Network records indicate That until the AI171 flight accident, the Dreamline had not registered any mortal sinister in commercial operations. A trajectory that had reinforced its image as a modern, efficient and reliable aircraft For long -range routes. As Flightglobal points outbased on Cirium data, the plane involved was delivered to Air India in January 2014. Specifically, it had accumulated more than 41,000 flight hours and about 8,000 peeling and landing cycles, a figure within the usual for an apparatus of that age. The 787 marked a turning point in the way of manufacturing commercial airplanes. The American firm explains in A document about its innovation initiatives which is the first Boeing model designed from scratch with a structure mostly composed of composite materials, such as plastics reinforced with carbon fiber. This would allow you to save about 20 % of weight compared to traditional fuselages, which translates into lower fuel consumption and greater autonomy. One of the particularities of 787 Dreamline is that it can be equipped with Two types of enginesaccording to the choice of the airline: the General Electric Genx-1b or the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000. Both share several key features: high derivation ratios, lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and advanced constructive technologies, such as the use of compound materials or 3D printed components. What is known until now of the accident Ai171 Air India flight took off from Sardar Vallebhbhai Patel International Ahmedabad at 13:39, local time, destined for London Gatwick. On board 242 people were traveling, including passengers and crew. Just a minute after takeoff, The plane signal was lost In flight tracking systems, when I had barely reached 190 meters altitude. According to the Indian Civil Aviation Authority, the plane reached an emergency call (may Day), But there was no subsequent response. The apparatus hit the residential area of ​​Meghani Nagar, in the west of the city, crashing against a building used as Residence for doctors. Images disseminated by the authorities They show the tail of the embedded plane in the structure of the property So far, the authorities have confirmed the recovery of at least 200 bodies and have transferred several injured to hospitals in the area. At first It was feared that there would be no survivorsbut later it was confirmed that at least one person had left the accident alive: a British citizen, According to disseminated information by local media like Hindustan Times Among the passengers were 169 Indian citizens, 53 British, seven Portuguese and a Canadian. Air India activated a Emergency Care Center and established an assistance team for families. Ahmedabad airport temporarily suspended its operations. Boeing answers while the questions grow Hours after the accident, Boeing issued an official statement in which he claimed to be in contact with Air India and have activated his technical assistance protocols. “We are in contact with Air India in relation to flight 171 and we are ready to provide support,” The company pointed out. He also expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and the personnel involved in emergency tasks. As we pointed out above, the American manufacturer had not registered any mortal sinister with the 787 model in commercial operations. However, the accident occurs in a Delicated moment for Boeingwhich remains under the scrutiny of regulatory organizations and the sector itself by a series of incidents linked to other production lines, especially that of 737 Max. Between 2018 and 2019, two fatal accidents of that model (Indonesia and Ethiopia) caused the death of 346 people and forced the global immobilization of the entire Max fleet. More recently, in January 2024, A door cap (door plug) It was released in full flight in a 737 Max 9 operated by Alaska Airlines, which revived the questions about manufacturing quality and internal supervision protocols of the firm. It is still too early to know what happened exactly with flight AI171. Investigations on accidents of this type require time, technical analysis and International cooperation. For now, there are no sufficient indications to attribute responsibilities either to the airline or the manufacturer. The analysis of the black boxes will be decisive to understand what happened on board in the last minutes. Until then, any conclusion would be premature.

No one has managed to reach the mantle of the earth. China has built a ship to do it and, incidentally, extract energy

by

The old aspiration of Julio Verne in ‘Journey to the center of the earth’ is still out of our reach, but the explorations under the seabed are increasingly deep. You just have to see the ship that China has just put into service. Meng Xiang. “Dream” in Chinese. A colossal ocean drilling vessel designed and built entirely In the Asian country to pierce the ocean bed descending up to a record distance of 11,000 meters. The objective: penetrate the earth’s crust and reach the mantle, a geological border that until now has only been able to study indirectly, creating new science while exploring new energy sources. A Boat. With 179.8 meters in length and 42,600 tons of displacement, the Meng Xiang is the new largest scientific research vessel in China, which, which consolidated the country’s position as a maritime superpower. Although it will focus on the South China Sea until 2035, the Meng Xiang could operate in any ocean in the world, supporting superstifones and the most extreme maritime conditions. What makes it unique. The true crown jewel is its drilling system: the world’s first hydraulic drilling tower capable of raising up to 907 tons with a double purpose: Perform oil and gas exploration perforationsand at the same time, take samples of geological nuclei for scientific research. Your ability to pierce 11 kilometers will allow you, for the first time, to obtain direct samples of this transition zone. The goal reminds the historical “Mohole Project” of the United States In the 60s, which although he laid the foundations for oceanic drilling, he never achieved his final objective. The new Chinese ship has the technology to get it. The unexplored border. Since the seismologist Croata Andrija Mohorovičić discovered it in 1909, “Moho discontinuity” It has been one of the most coveted borders by geology. It is the limit where the earthly, lighter cortex gives way to the much densest rocks of the mantle. Until now, our knowledge about this crucial layer comes from seismic data and the analysis of minerals expelled by volcanoes. China intends to kill two birds with an unprecedented scientific mission that, in turn, will expand its extractive capacity. What can find down there? In addition to oil, gas hydrates: a vast source of potential energy trapped in the seabed at great depths and low temperatures. Mastering his extraction could redefine the global energy map, in which China wants to be in the lead.

There are already French asking for back the money they paid for their teslas. And the reason has a name and surname

by

“Some customers no longer dare or do not want to use their vehicle.” With this phrase summarizes Patrick Klugman, lawyer for a future demand against Tesla in France, the feeling of his represented. A group of Tesla owners accuse the company that its public image has directly affected its vehicles and, of course, themselves. This is what they argue. Enjoy. That is, exactly, what the 10 Tesla owners who plan to denounce the company for the possible damage caused by the damage to the public image … of the company itself can not do with their vehicles. They ensure that Elon Musk’s political approach to the extreme right prevents them from circulating with tranquility, as explained to Le Parisien. Among the future plaintiffs are stories of all kinds. There is the one who says that one day he reached his car and found that he had been vandalized with the graffiti of a swastika. In other cases, they point to moral damage because they are owners who feel “betrayed”, in the words of lawyer Patrick Klugman, who is behind the defense of these consumers. “A Responsible Eco -Ciudadean approach”. Thus, they ensure this dozen owners, who received the company when they were made with one of their vehicles. “It was a 100% electric brand (…) buyers were willing to pay more money for their car to participate in the ecological transition … This vehicle (Tesla) became a sample of commitment,” explains the lawyer. They claim that with Elon Musk’s approach to the extreme right and the brand’s image degradation they cannot have a “peaceful possession” of the vehicle. A detail that is key to the demand that they want to present that, they point out in the middle, it cannot be defined as “collective” for the moment. Despite this, the lawyer encourages every owner who wants to add to the cause to accompany them. What are they based on? As we said, that “peaceful possession” is key. This is collected in the Article 1625 of the Civil Code In France.
