The Big Tech have always compensated their great failures by copying the successes of others. And with AI are already doing it

by

Good artists copy, The greats stealSteve Jobs or Pablo Picasso said. What they did not say is that the best artists are probably not done by one thing or the other: directly Buy “Works” They end up seeing how their own. We are continually seeing it in the technological field, and the last example is what is happening in the world of AI. I’m going to buy a company. Google launched its own YouTube before YouTube. Three weeks before, in fact. On January 25, 2005, he announced the launch of Google Video, while YouTube would launch on February 14. We already know how the story ended: YouTube swept while Google Video barely managed to curdle. What did Google? Buy YouTube to solve the problem. Problem solved with a talonario coup. Facebook did something similar with Instagram. The company created by Mark Zuckerberg saw the wolf’s ears, so he preferred Buy your competitive potentialwhich effectively became an absolute success and is now an integral part of its ecosystem. Good artists copy. We have seen it many times: the Big Tech copy ideas as if there were no tomorrow. Facebook and Instagram did it with the Snapchat Storiesor the reels Copied from Tiktokand there are many other examples. There are times to copy works, but there are others in which those attempts end up in A true disaster. The innovator dilemma. The obvious conclusion of all these movements is already known: the Big Tech do not want any other company to end up stealing their wallet. If someone begins to shade, they go for him, it will not be that they end up as Blackberry or Nokiathat seemed immortal and now they are just a minimum expression of what they were. All great technological ones know well about the Innovative dilemmaand none wants to be part of that group of companies that let another climb to Chepa. Openai careful. The current situation is a reflection of that reality. It is happening in the world of artificial intelligence. Openai became from the launch of Chatgpt in the new great star of the technological panorama. Its excessive growth He quickly warned to almost all the great technological (but Not all), who launched ally with her or to compete directly with analogous platforms. But in addition to the Big Tech, they would compete, so many others did. And absolutely all these startups are in danger, because the Big Tech will not allow the “little ones” to steal their wallet. Letter programming agents. We have seen the last example of this phenomenon with the agricultural platforms of AI to program. Cursor was a discovery For programmers, and unleashed fever for these tools. In recent weeks, we have seen how one of its competitors, Windsurf, has been bought by Openaiwho does not happy with that also took out his own programming tool, Codex. But it is that cursor and other startups such as Devin Or replicit ghostwriter they have it complicated, because Anthropic (Claude Code), Google (Jules), Microsoft (Github co -ilot) or Amazon (Codewhisperer). Concentration in sight. This variety of options in that specific field of AI extends to many other areas: there are dozens of options to create images with AI, and the same if what we are looking for is to create music or even video. And the same for tools that transcribe audio, which make content summaries or that help in specific tasks of other types. The problem of all of them is that if one of those ideas is popularized, the Big Tech go to 1) Copy it or 2) If that doesn’t work, buy it. Except for exceptional cases, it is normal for the market to continue to dominate by a small group of large companies, leaving in the background very distant the startups that survive.

We believed that the large numbers of soldiers dead in combat were a thing of the past. Until the Ukraine War arrived

by

This week a New report Updated from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington. The data, by drudos, left the imagination a few doubts: just over three years after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict has reached low figures that place it between The bloodiest of modern history. We have attended historical statistics to find out how much. The human cost of a stagnant war. As we said, the CSIS study revealed that the total number of dead or injured soldiers amounts to almost 1.4 millionof which around one million are Russians and 400,000 Ukrainians. This figure is even more shocking if it is considered that Ukraine does not publish its official data and that Russia, according to Experts warnsystematically underestimate your losses. The study is based on estimates from American and British sources, in addition to satellite images and field analysis. The slowest war. The work tells more things. For example, despite the huge number of casualties, Russian territorial advances since January 2024 have been practically insignificant: less than 1% of the conquered Ukrainian territory, with an average advance rhythm of just 50 meters per day, even more than even the more expensive offensives of World War I. Today, Russia occupies approximately the 20% of the Ukrainian territorybut without achieving decisive advances. This slowness, together with the Mass destruction Of war material, he has turned the Russian campaign one of the clearest examples of wear war of the 21st century. Irreplaceable losses. However, if something betrays the brutality of the contest in Ukraine, that is the data of the CSIS that estimates that at least 250,000 Russian soldiers They have died in combat, which represents the highest military mortality rate of any Soviet or Russian war since World War II. For its part, Ukraine would have lost between 60,000 and 100,000 soldiers. However, the proportion of forces in the front It is overwhelming: More than 400,000 Russian soldiers in front of about 250,000 Ukrainians, with Russia benefiting from a much larger population and aggressive replacement mechanisms. As We have counted: Moscow has avoided declaring a new general mobilization, but has resorted to Recruitment of prisonersdebtors and people with criminal causes, to whom it offers lucrative contracts or the cancellation of charges in exchange for the military service. CSIS data shows a shocking Moscow casualties against other conflicts where Russia was The historical scope. With the figure offered by the CSIS We have attended the historical statistics of similar war conflicts (excluding civil or genocide wars), all after World War II, to measure the scope and impact of the losses that are taking place in Ukraine on the Russian side. The base is that estimate of 250,000 losses since the beginning of the conflict in 2022. A point and apart. The first data we found is that the estimation of the 250,000 losses makes the Ukrainian conflict The most lethal For Russian forces since World War II, surpassing the losses in Afghanistan (1979–1989), where the USSR lost Around 15,000 soldiersbut in ten years. Comparatively, in the Korean War (1950–1953), China (the main ally of North Korea) lost Between 180,000 and 400,000 fighters in three years of conflict, while the United States registered some 33,700 casualties in combat. Not even Vietnam. In the Vietnam War (1955–1975), United States He suffered 58,220 deathsbut, again, it happened in a period of twenty years. For his part, Northern Vietnam lost Between 400,000 and 1.1 million Of soldiers, although those figures, again, accumulate over two decades. Even in the devastating Guerra Iran -ira (1980–1988), with close to One million combined casualtiesonly Iran exceeded the current Russian figures in a longer period, with estimates of 200,000 to 262,000 dead. Therefore, the intensity of Russian losses, concentrated in a short period, is exceptional in the history of contemporary interstate conflicts. Deep consequences. It is the last of the legs to analyze. Russia, despite having a population greater than Ukraine and, a priori, a deeper human replacement capacity, faces a accelerated erosion of their professional military capacity. Unlike previous conflicts where deaths were distributed in longer campaigns, the current wear of wear (right now around 7,000 soldiers dead per month) threat with structural degrade to its armed forces. If these levels are maintained, Russia could exceed the psychological and logistic threshold that prevents you from sustaining the offensive. In front of wars such as the Gulf (1990–1991), where Iraq lost between 20,000 and 35,000 soldiers In just over a month, or the invasion of Iraq in 2003, where the United States suffered less than 5,000 casualties In eight years, the contrast is, if possible, even more extreme. The war in Ukraine, in terms of direct military loss and temporary concentration, has become an atypical case for its lethality and its potential for internal destabilization for the aggressor country.

Xiaomi has a new throne candidate for the best tablet for 200 euros

by

Xiaomi did it really good with the Redmi Pad original. The Redmi Pad Se It is, in fact, one of the best -selling tablets in Amazon and one of the most popular mid -range devices in its category. Now the firm returns to the load renewing the device not with one, but with two tablets: the Redmi Pad 2 and Redmi Pad 2 4g. The differences? Better to speak in singular, because the only difference between these two devices is that one is compatible with 4G networks and the other does not. That said, we will know them a little better and to see what Xiaomi offers us. This is how Xiaomi money earns – they attract you and catch you TECHNICAL SHEET OF THE REDMI PAD 2 AND REDMI PAD 2 4G Redmi Pad 2 Redmi Pad 2 4g Dimensions and weight N/D N/D SCREEN 11 -inch IPS 2,5K resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) 90 Hz Brillo: 500 nits HBM: 600 nits 274 ppp Format 16:10 Eye-Care DC Dimming Tüv Rheinland Low Blue Light Tüv Rheinlandflicker Free T*v rheinland circadian friendly certified 11 -inch IPS 2,5K resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) 90 Hz Brillo: 500 nits HBM: 600 nits 274 ppp Format 16:10 Eye-Care DC Dimming Tüv Rheinland Low Blue Light Tüv Rheinlandflicker Free T*v rheinland circadian friendly certified PROCESSOR Mediatk Helio G-100 Ultra Mediatk Helio G-100 Ultra RAM 4, 8 GB LPDDR4X 4, 8 GB LPDDR4X Internal storage 128, 256 GB UFS 2.2 128, 256 GB UFS 2.2 battery 9,000 mAh Fast charging 18W 9,000 mAh Fast charging 18W rear camera 8 MP F/2.0 8 MP F/2.0 Front camera 5 MP F/2.2 5 MP F/2.2 Operating system Android 15 with Hyperos 2 Android 15 with Hyperos 2 connectivity WIFI 5 Bluetooth 5.3 Dual sim dual 4g WIFI 5 Bluetooth 5.3 others 4x speakers Audio hi-ores Dolby Atmos 4x speakers Audio hi-ores Dolby Atmos price Since 199.99 euros N/D Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 + case – 11 “2.5K (MediaTak G100 -Ultra, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM, WiFi 5 + Bluetooth 5.3, 9000 mAh battery, charger not included), gray (ES version) * Some price may have changed from the last review So are the new Redmi Pad 2 Redmi Pad 2 | Image: Xiaomi A generous screen. Xiaomi has incorporated a somewhat larger panel than the previous generation (11 inches compared to 10.61 inches of the original REDmi PAD) and has significantly increased the resolution: from a FullHD+ panel we move to a 2.5K that leaves us with a higher pixel density. The soda rate is the same, 90 Hz, and The brightness It has increased by 100 nits. It is an interesting improvement, within that we are talking about a mid -range tablet. Mediatek under the hood. The processor chosen by Xiaomi for its new tablets is the MediaTak Helio G-100, a SOC of six TSMC nanometers with a maximum speed of 2.2 GHz. Again, mid-range processor. It is accompanied by up to eight Gigas RAM RAM LPDDR4X and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. They are not the fastest technologies in the market, but they should not give problems when navigating, seeing movies or series, reading or throwing a game to light games. Redmi Pad 2 | Image: Xiaomi A good dose of mah. The battery capacity also grows, moving from the 8,000 mAh of the Redmi Pad to 9,000 mAh in the new models. Seeing the increase in screen resolution and size, surely the autonomy is similar. The fast charge does not change: 18W. The operating system, meanwhile, is Android 15 with Hyperos 2. The connectivity tip. The key difference between both tablets is, as we said, connectivity. The 4G Redmi Pad has a processor compatible with dual sim dual 4g, that is, that inserting one (or two) SIM cards we can have data where there is coverage. It should be noted that this will affect autonomy. Redmi Pad 2 | Image: Xiaomi Cameras. No surprise here. Redmi Pad 2 have fair and necessary cameras to make video calls and little else. Without large displays, the rear camera has a resolution of eight megapixels and the front of five. However, the reality is that the camera of a tablet like this has a practically punctual use. Versions and price of the Redmi Pad 2 and Redmi Pad 2 4g The Redmi Pad 2 can be achieved in gray and green by 199.99 euros in its most modest version (4/128 GB). The 8/256 GB model amounts to 249.99 euros. As for the 4G version, the firm, for the moment, has not mentioned anything about its availability in Spain.

The price of banana has shot and has taken many by surprise

by

The banana is one of the favorite fruits of the Spaniards if we pay attention to Consumption data. This can explain the concern about the pricing climbing of the Planteanera fruit. Explaining the situation. A concern that recently led the association that encompasses the Canary Islands banana producers to explain why inflationary pressure. He did Through your account of Twitter (X) and in response to a user who He highlighted The fact that bananas of Costa Rican origin are remarkably cheaper than the island banana. In his response, banana from the Canary Islands spoke of “A very complicated situation”Heiress of the passage through the Canarian archipelago of The Dorothea Borrasca. This storm affected the Canary Islands in mid -December 2024, causing damages of different types of producers. The winds of the storm started banana trees and had a direct impact on production, but the storm and their storms also indirectly affected, for example with interruptions in the electrical system. Supply and demand. The result: lower production and with it a rise in prices. “It is not usual, but a reality that is affecting us all, from those who cultivate to those who buy the banana,” indicate In their social networks. The offer has fallen what in principle should lead to higher and lower sales prices. The problem is that the demand for this appreciated fruit is relatively inelastic, which implies that a shockIn the offer it has a greater effect on the prices than on sales: people are willing to pay more for the product. To this we must add another factor, that of exports. According to explained in The newspaper Paco Déniz, former deputy in the Parliament of the Canary Islands by Podemos, the large part of the Canarian production is exported (including the one exported to the Peninsula). 131%. Before the arrival of Dorothea the perspective was another: the expected production was around 450 million tons, a greater figure of the productive thresholds marked by the European Union but lower than the figure achieved in the previous harvest, of 467 million tons. All this, we pointed out, has implied an important escalation in banana prices, especially striking in the fruit of Canarian origin. According to data From the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, between January 27 and the beginning of June, the average price of bananas as a whole has grown by 131%, that is, it is now more than double than in January. A most volatile market. A few months ago we talked about a very different situation. Before the arrival of Borrasca, the problem was in the fact that banana prices did not allow a profitable product. “From January 2023 to October 2024, only in three months of the 22 the banana has had a price that we could call profitable,” We pointed then.

Grandmothers have always taken chairs to the street to chat. In Granada they have encountered a problem: the police

by

Santa Fe is A municipality of the Vega de Granada (Granada) of Luenga Historia and somewhat less than 15,000 neighbors that has just sneaked into headlines From the whole country for a peculiar motive: to have declared war on such an entrenched custom, as grenadine, as summer and apparently as peaceful as taking chairs to the streets to chat the fresco during the sunsets of the summer. Or so They interpreted it The networks until the mayor has been forced to take the floor to calm the spirits. The controversy has stirred a curious question: Can the grandparents continue enjoying long talks forming corrosons on the sidewalks, sitting to the fresh? The origin of everything: a tweet. The check From the Local Police of Santa Fe in X it does not reach the thousand followers, but holds the dubious honor of having published one of the most controversial tweets of recent weeks. The reason? On Tuesday, May 27, early in the afternoon, the police station launched A message in his profile in which he warned about the risks of placing chairs on the sidewalks to chat. “We know that taking chairs or tables at the door is a tradition in many villages, but public roads are regulated. If the police ask to withdraw them, do it out of respect and coexistence. With civism and common sense there are no discomfort,” he said The messagewhich in a matter of a few days has accumulated 6.5 million visualizations, around 6,000 responses and It has been replicated in media All Spain. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Why’s that? More than for the message itself, for the image that accompanied him and the association of ideas he suggested. The notice of the Local Police of Santa Fe included A photograph in which you could see a group of six old women sitting quietly in the semicircle in front of a house, on the sidewalk. Plastic and folding chairs. Pleasant chachara. And a group of elders enjoying the fresco of the sunset after a hot day. An almost traditional scene that we have been seeing in the streets (both in Santa Fe and other peoples) and cinemas without to date having generated the slightest controversy. And the scandal arrived. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the Santa Fe Local Police publications accumulate just a handful of Likesor comments. The famous grandmothers’s tweet ended up viralizing, jumping to media like South Canal, ABC, The Spanish either local newspapers and unleashing a heated debate in X in which the sneer and indignation were combined. “Enough impunity for grandparents who take the fresco when the afternoon falls. All the weight of the law”, Ironiza A user. “Handling and misrepresented”. The controversy climbed to such an extent that a few days ago the mayor of Santa Fe, Juan Cobo, granted An interview To the Cope chain to clarify what they allow and what do not allow municipal ordinances and what the police really wanted to convey with their famous message. The talk It has hung in full On the official website of the City Council and basically clarifies that the elderly of their breaks on the sidewalks have never wanted to deprive. “It has misrepresented. It seems that there are no more important news,” He lamented The mayor. A for “uncivic” attitudes. Although The tweet of discord It was accompanied by the photo of a group of old women sitting on chairs on the sidewalk, smiling and in peaceful attitude, Cobos nuances that the message was actually intended for other people: those who occupy the public space of the town with “uncivic” attitudes. From there, he says that no one in Santa Fe pretends to prohibit the elders of the town that they continue to take chairs to the sidewalk at sunset to hold quiet conversation and at schedules in which they do not bother the rest of their neighbors. “No one will prohibit our elders from going to the door, feel and enjoy the fresco. Not much less. This is intended for those who, doing uncivic acts, put themselves at the doors with the excuse of taking the fresco, cut the streets, put barbecues, sing, touch the guitar and leave everything in that way,” Cobo precisewhich ensures that the municipal police station receives an “avalanche” of calls from people who complain about that kind of behavior. The key: the regulations. The mayor It goes further And remember that what is and is not allowed is regulated in an ordinance prior to its arrival at the Consistory, a rule that seeks to guarantee “the coexistence and rest” of the residents of the people. “What they are doing is to remember that there is an ordinance, that the fresco can be taken, but without disturbing others,” The councilor insists In reference to the tweet. “People who get up at five at six in the morning have the right to rest.” “Our elders who have the absolute certainty that they will be able to continue taking the fresco as until now,” The first mayor remarks Before complaining that the news about the supposed war of Santa Fe against afternoon on the sidewalks has come out of mother, with statements that he believes “manipulated.” In summary: the elders of the people can continue enjoying such an entrenched, so peculiar tradition that there are Who thinks which deserves to be a World Heritage.

The first fotonic cubal immune to errors is already ready

by

The development they have experienced Quantum computers During the last decade it is amazing. This discipline is no longer attractive only for the research centers linked to some of the most prestigious universities on the planet; The governments of the United States, China, Germany, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, India, Canada or Russia are some of those who have openly manifested The strategic character that has for them Quantum computing. However, a good part of the greatest advances that we are as witnesses come from the private company. Google, Intel, Honeywell or IBM are some of the companies that are bidding to make possible the innovations required by the challenges that this computing paradigm has placed in front of us. Experts agree that There is still much to dobut the two greatest challenges that need to be overcome to make the tuning of fully functional quantum compute error correction that guarantees that the results we read are the correct ones, and also the scaling of the number of cubits. In fact, both challenges go hand in hand. Xanadu invites us to tie the future with more optimism than ever Xanadu’s trajectory started in 2016, but what placed this young Canadian company in the center of the debate in early June 2022 was the article published in Nature in which Jonathan Lavoie, his scientific heading, and his team explain how they achieved achieve quantum supremacy. Interestingly, in their project they used a programmable quantonic quantonic processor that they baptized as borealis and is able to operate at ambient temperature. The Lavoie team managed to solve in just 36 microseconds a problem in which a classic supercommer pertrected with the best available algorithm would have invested 9,000 years. However, this is not all. In addition, these researchers assured that their technology had allowed them minimize your hardware imperfections and reach a computational advantage in execution time 50 million times higher than that they have thrown other computers that also resort to photonic quantum processors. Xanadu’s quantonic quantonic processor can be manufactured using the same photolithographic technology used in the production of chips that reside inside our computers and smartphones Whatever the most shocking thing is that at that time, exactly three years ago, Lavoie and his team assured that they intended to be ready before this decade is a quantum computer of a million cubits endowed with the ability to amend their own errors. One of the greatest buzas in favor of the Xanadu scientific team is that its photonic quantum processor can be manufactured using the same photolithographic technology used in the production of the chips that reside inside our computers and smartphones, which opens the door to its mass manufacturing. However, the most interesting thing is the strategy that the team led by Lavoie has devised to make possible the scaling of its quantum hardware until it is able to bring together one million cubits. What he pursues is, in broad strokes, interconnect his quantum processors using a fiber optic network with the purpose of can exchange quantum information and face the same problem in a coordinated way. The most obvious advantage that this approach puts on the table is that, if everything goes as Xanadu researchers have planned, nothing will prevent them from continuing to climb their quantum hardware beyond one million cubits. In any case, these scientists have not wasted time for the past three years. Just a few hours ago they have published an article in Nature in which they describe with great detail the characteristics of their new silicon photonic cubits resistant to errors and integrated into a chip. It is the first time that a team manages to demonstrate the proper functioning of a quantum integrated circuit like this. Very broadly, your strategy is to overlap many photons to encode information in a way resistant to errors. This does not imply that quantum computers endowed with the ability to correct their own mistakes are already ready. To be viable using photonic technology it is necessary Optimize manufacturing and packaging processes with the purpose of mitigating optical losses throughout the platform. Anyway, there is no doubt: this achievement of Xanadu is very important. We will follow the track closely.

Today’s cars are more expensive because they have filled with technology. And that has another added cost: go to the workshop

by

Too much electronics. It was one of the usual criticism when electronics began to take the controls of cars mechanics and it became difficult to know what was failing without a diagnostic machine. Since then, the weight of electronics has not stopped growing but in the last five years its weight is so great that facing a breakdown compromises any pocket. And there is data. 60%. That is what has grown up for repairing a vehicle in the last five years, according to A study by Valuepenguin.comspecialized in personal finance, collected by Automotive News. The data is problematic because this is united an extra cost in the price of insurance and, therefore, a general increase in the maintenance of the vehicle. The data refers to the US market where they indicate that the average cost of having a new vehicle was $ 12,297 per year in 2024, experiencing a increase in $ 115 compared to 2023. Here you take into account the price of paid monthly payment, insurance, fuel … Less accidents but more expensive. The study ensures that the evolution of the systems have helped to report 25% less notices to insurance but, also, an increase in them because repairing the technology of a new car is extremely expensive and complex. Thus, the average cost of insurance in the United States is $ 2.101 a year. In Motorpasion They collect that these repairs are extremely expensive when we go to the most advanced security and driving help systems. Repair or replace the digital mirrors of a Audi e-tron It costs between 800 and 1,500 euros. Parking sensors (exposed if you park on the street) may have a cost of between 275 and 900 euros if they have to replace them, according to 20 minutes. And the prices of the rear view camera are around and exceed 1,000 euros. Too complex systems. The biggest problem facing who has had an accident with a new car is that the number of establishments where you can repair your car are scarce. They point out in Automotive News that manufacturers force the workshops to start an extremely exhaustive protocol to calibrate the systems.
