A pilgrimage of needy and pillos

by

Gigny-Bussy is one small commune of the department of Marne, France. Usually the people who go there do so by the way or to enjoy their landscapes and wooden architecture. Throughout the last weeks its main claim has been nevertheless another good: a enormous gigantic mountain formed by More than 500 tons of potatoes stacked in the middle of a field. His farmer failed to find a hole in the market, so he made hearts and made a peculiar decision: to give them among their convecinos. What happened? That Gigny-Bussy, a commune that does not reach the 300 inhabitantsHe is hoarding headlines For a curious reason: a mountain of potatoes available to anyone who wants to approach bags, bags, cars or even trucks to take them free. The French newspaper L´unionone of the first to give The newscalculate that there may be more than 500 tons of tubers stacked near the D396a road that crosses hectares of crops. Click on the image to go to Tweet. And what do they do there? If it is not usual to meet a mountain of potatoes stacked in the field, outdoors, it is less frequent that this gigantic battery is available to whoever wants to take the tubers home. If it has happened in Gigny-Bussy (Marne) is basically thanks to a local farmer who, not being able to sell part of his harvest and to prevent gender from being rotting under the summer sun, decided to mount the largest potato -free buffet in the world. The farmer in question is not known. Only it is from Aube, it has land in Marne and has encountered the dilemma of what to do with the hundreds of tons of potatoes of the last harvest they have not managed to sell. Maintaining the merchandise in the warehouse costs him money and the perspective of letting it rot also neither convinced him, so, taking into account that the tubers are edible, he decided to stack them close to a path so he can collect them who needs them. If something is left over, it will spread through the fields, as a fertilizer. How did people respond? The news jumped end of July And the potato free assortment was available for several, enough for all kinds of people to join. There were those who went to fill a couple of bags, who left with the trunk of the car to overflow with tubers even, Slide L´unionwho saw a more than doubtful ethics business opportunity. “Those who came before we said that they rendered what they took to 15 euros at 20 kg. And they came several times this week,” Explain to the newspaper a neighbor of the area who claimed to collect potatoes only for self -consumption. Are there more testimonies? Yes. And not everyone goes in that line. Christophe, a 68 -year -old man who passed through the area by car accompanied by his family, account That caught the amount of people in the field, so he decided to approach. “We saw a lot of cars around a lot of potatoes and we thought: ‘Why can’t we take advantage of us too.” No sooner said than done. Shortly after his trunk filled with his wife, daughter and grandchildren. “The potatoes are not cheap. So when you can get them for free, you should not deprive yourself,” he confesses. He is not the only one who thinks like that. Dylan, a thirty from Saint-Dizier, Explain That a few years ago it was already made with a 600 kg lot that carefully stored in the cellar of his house between straw. “It is well preserved, but I have nothing left. So when I learned that here it was, I came to serve me.” Is it a unique case? No. Christine, another neighbor who supplied in Gigny Bussy, explains that days before he had already collected potatoes in Sapignicourt in similar circumstances. “It’s fantastic because it helps avoid waste and allows everyone to benefit,” celebrate. Just a few days ago France info He reported For example, the case of a farmer from La Gorgue who found McCain rejected part of his harvest because, in his opinion, he did not adjust to his quality standards. Given the perspective of storing the remaining genre in their stores until it ended up deteriorating, the farmer made a peculiar decision: he offered about 50 tons of tuber to those who wanted to take it home. The only requirement was to pay before a symbolic ‘entry’ of ten euros that gives the right to collect the amount of potatoes you want. “It is a great initiative for neighbors. Apart from being sad for him, it is a pretty gesture,” confesses A resident.

Let’s explain What is and how the study mode works of Chatgpta new modality of this popular artificial intelligence. It is an adapted way for students to learn while asking AI instead of directly receive the answers. We are going to start explaining what exactly is this way so that you understand what it is about and how it differs. Then we will tell you how it works and What can you do with himand we will end up explaining how you can use it. What is Chatgpt’s study mode Chatgpt’s study mode is a modality that you can activate when asking artificial intelligence. When you do, instead of giving the answer directly, Chatgpt will help you step by step To find the solution to the question. Come on, that AI adapts to structured learning, knowing that if you simply give you the answer you will not learn. Instead, organize the information just as a teacher would do, and will guide you for the necessary steps to find the answer. In this way, Chatgpt has this way to help you understand complex topics step by step, already review the key concepts of a subject. It also allows you to practice with examples and exam questions, as well as summarize and schematize long content to be easier to understand. This mode is available in chatgpt free and in the payment version. Obviously, in each of them the limitations of each of the modes will be giving up, so if you use the payment version it will be more advanced and you will have better answers. How this mode works and what can you do This mode works by combining the usual chatgpt capabilities with a different way of presenting information. Come on, that it simply comes pre-provoked with a didactic context, so that you know that whenever you ask you a question, the answers have to show them with a different structure, oriented to learning. This mode will be able to make clear summaries of denser texts to be easy to understand. Also can make schemes and lists Organizing the important points of a topic, and you can make explanations adapted to your level. If you do not understand something, you can also ask you to explain it in depth or easier, and you will. When asked about concrete issues, this mode of study will seek in your data and on the Internet, collect the information and show it to you. But You can also upload your own contentas a lesson in PDF, and then ask for help with it in different ways. In addition to presenting information differently, this mode has other advantages, such as Remember the things you failand by being able to read from images you will also be able to know what it puts on your manuscript notes to use this information. Over time and as you use it, it will adapt to your level and your preferences, and even the way you learn, all with a friendly tone and close examples. In the end, the idea is that if you are doing your homework I can help you get out of traffic jams and to solve doubts, all without simply giving the answer and that you do not have to put anything on your part. How to use this mode To use this mode, you have to start a new chat with chatgpt. Once you do it, click on the + button to the left of the writing field, and that serves to add elements. Here, Choose the option of Study and learn That will appear. When you do this, you will have the mode of learning activated, and you will only have to ask the question you want. Remember that with this mode activated You can also upload files As PDFs with lessons or photos, including those that are from your notes. Now, you can ask many types of questions. For example, you can use some Prompt As “teach me the difference between precision and accuracy, beginner level” or “put my knowledge of the periodic table with didactic cards,” for example. Also You can ask to help you schematize A writing, to prepare a test based on a document that goes up, or that puts different types of mathematical problems. In many cases, Before launching to do the exercise It will ask you a few questions to contextualize the operation and adapt it exactly to what you are looking for.

Android changes its DNA. Google will exclude the apps from unidentified developers … even if they are not in the play store

by

Google just activate the countdown for the Android we know. Since September 2026, any application you want to install on your Android – Come on Play Store, an alternative store or downloaded from a website – must be signed by a verified developer. It is the end of anonymity in the Android ecosystem. Why is it important. Android has always presumed to be the alternative open to iOS. That opening allowed to install applications of any source, without even Google knowing who developed them. With the advantages and disadvantages that that supposes. Now, All developers must reveal their real identity to Googlewithout exceptions. The company justifies the change with data: it detects 50 times more malware in applications downloaded via web than in the Play Store. Cybercounts take advantage of anonymity to distribute malware, commit financial fraud and steal personal data. The backdrop. This bomb comes in full legal earthquake for Google. Epic Games has won his antitrust case And the courts have ordered Android to open to third parties. Just when Google must allow more competition, impose unpublished control over who can develop for Android. It is a master play of Timing: Google maintains control of the ecosystem even when the courts force him to open it. Alternative stores may exist, but all applications must go through the Google verification filter. In detail. The new Android Developer Console will be mandatory for all: Developers must provide legal name, address, email and telephone. Organizations will also need corporate web and Luns number. Google promises not to show this information to users, but you will have it. There will be a “simplified” account for students and fans, without the rate of $ 25. The calendar does not leave much margin of maneuver: October 2025: Early access for selected developers. March 2026: Open registration for all. September 2026: Effective blockade in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. 2027: Global expansion. Google points first to countries “specifically impacted” by scams. But the message is clear: this will be global and inevitable. Yes, but. Thousands of independent developers will lose their privacy. Those who created useful tools without wanting to expose themselves now must choose: reveal their identity to Google or leave Android. He Sideloadingthat exhaust valve that historically differentiated Android from iOS, is injured in death. Technically it will continue to exist, but only for developer applications that Google has verified. Between the lines. Google says That this is like “showing the DNI at the airport”, which verifies identity, but not contained. The comparison is very good because airports are spaces of maximum control where we sacrifice freedoms for security. Just what Google is looking for. The current documentation does not explain what will happen if you try to install an un verified application. Google will probably distribute a white list through Play Services and your Android will simply reject anonymous developer applications. Deepen. This change replicates the model Gatekeeper Apple in macOSwhere developers must register for their apps to work. Android is converging with iOS in control, losing its main differentiator. Google insists that Android will remain “open”, but the semantics is not an exact science, and for many, “open” will not fit as a definition a system where each developer must ask Google permission to exist. The Android we knew has died today, although we will not bury it until September 2026. In Xataka | Notifications with advertisements of some of the apps that we use most are kidnapping our mobiles.

The Spanish bank seemed bored for the bag, but its last five years is superior to Apple and Microsoft

by

Sabadell has risen more than 1,000% in the stock market in the last five years. Santander, 370%. Caixabank, 359%. BBVA, 492% Meanwhile, Apple – during most of this time, the most valuable company in the world – has grown 82% in the same period. Microsoft, 120%. The Nvidia of records1,267%. Why is it important. The Spanish bank has gone from being the ugly duckling of the stock market to star in one of the largest revaluation of the European market. This turn breaks the dominant story on a supposedly mature, boring and more narrow margins sector. The transformation has been silent but brutal. With the world of investment looking towards AI and technological ones, Spanish banks have multiplied their stock market capitalization without making too much noise. The context. It is true that the reference of five years has coincides with the minimums of the pandemic, when the IBEX 35 touched the 6,100 points in March 2020. But even taking references prior to Covid, the climbs remain spectacular. The interest rates They have been the final catalyst. After more than a decade with negative types that suffocated the bank margins, the turn of the ECB has returned the profitability to the traditional business: to capture cheap deposits and lend expensive. To contextualize: S&P 500 has risen 84% in the same period. The Nasdaq, 116%. Gold, 78%. Yes, but. This stock market explosion has gone quite unnoticed by the general public. The dominant narrative remains the one that speaks of traditional banking as a mature sector with Fintech and Neobancos competitive pressure. The reality is that traditional Spanish banks have generated returns that exceed many of the most celebrated technology. And now what. It remains to know if this rally still has a tour or if it has already touched the roof. With interest rates stabilizing and the Spanish economy showing some deceleration, it is possible that the best has already happened. But the banking sector has demonstrated something along the way: the boring can be very profitable. In Xataka | Revolution is not just a threat to traditional banks.

Microsoft opted everything to OpenAi to win the AI ​​race. Start realizing your mistake

by

In April 2019, a small group of Openai engineers flew to Seattle to make a demo of a GPT-2 Supervitaminated Version A Bill Gates. Microsoft’s co -founder was impressed, and made clear his intention to invest in the company led by an almost absolutely unknown Sam Altman. In Redmond, Gates’ opinion took into account, and shortly after the events precipitated. The company’s cto, Kevin Scott, wrote an email Shortly after, in June, Nadella already Gates to warn of the danger of being behind. He was “very, very worried.” Nadella agreed. A month later, on July 22, 2019, Microsoft advertisement a Investment of 1,000 million dollars In OpenAi. That seemed love at first glance. That money promoted Openai’s efforts, which continued to develop its models and that in August 2020 launched an amazing GPT-3 But without opening it to the general public. Two years later, the bombing: OpenAi announced chatgpt without knowing that this would detonate the current AI fever. This divorce can be very expensive to Microsoft The initial impact was amazing, and Chatgpt became On the fastest platform he had grown up in history of the Internet. In two months he had already attracted 100 million users, and Microsoft, wanting to take another step in that idyllic relationship with Openai, redoubled its commitment to the company. Or multiplied it, because in January 2023 advertisement a multimillionaire investment that is estimated – although the figure was never detailed— at 10,000 million dollars. That investment It seemed to be perfect For both companies. Among other things, Openai obtained access to Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure to train their models and offer them to the general public (inference). Meanwhile, Microsoft gained priority access to OpenAi models, which it could sell as if they were his. That is just what they did, first with GPT-3 as a Github Copilot baseand then Freaking of other “co -drivers” that were nothing more than a chatgpt rehash. And there began the problems for Microsoft. Above all, because little by little that theoretically idyllic relationship He began teaching his seams. The convenience marriage was no longer so satisfactory for both parties. On the one hand, Openai kept asking for more and more money and better conditions when using the Microsoft computing cloud. On the other, Microsoft, OPENAI’s totally slave For his AI options, he began to look for alternatives. Both decided to look for alternative plans. Openai searched Change girlfriend and of Alliesand After the rumors In April 2025 he announced the greatest financing round in history, which amounted to 40,000 million dollars. For his part, in Microsoft, knowing their Openai absolute dependencethey began to move in March 2024, when they created their own division of AI and put in front of it To Mustafa Suleymanco -founder of Inflection AI and before Deepmind. The objective: to develop their own foundational models to avoid being chained to OpenAI. How was the thing? For now, OpenAi very well. To Microsoft, not so much. The company led by Sam Altman has not stopped growing in users and In income. At the moment they are still insufficient to make it profitable, but there is a clear thing: Nowadays Chatgpt is what Google went to searches. There are options, yes, but for the vast majority of users, (almost) do not count. I may launch of GPT-5 has been disappointingbut still Altman’s strategy to sell promises and Hype -with the Stargate megaproject in front – it works. But for Nadella and yours are much more complicated. Despite Copilot’s absolute integration in all business areas, Microsoft is almost an “coupled” in the world of AI. A pay. Your own modelsPhi-3 and Phi-4 are interesting for their “Edge AI” (artificial intelligence that runs at home, as in our mobiles), but their performance and capacity has made them almost a laboratory experiment. The gigantic infrastructure of Azure is his great asset to make them indirect leaders of AI, but Suleyman’s leadership It is committed to the simple reason that the results of the Microsoft strategy are not especially visible. It doesn’t matter if Microsoft has a powerful Trojan horse in Windows to infiltrate AI solutions in the company: who are winning that battle They are Anthropic and, of course, OpenAi. Meanwhile, Suleyman himself published on his blog An article warning of the dangers of treating AI as a person and ensuring that we are close to seeing a “apparently conscious” that can aggravate that problem. It is a valid and important argument, but it leaves Microsoft just like it was: without its own models and without changes in a strategy of doubtful success. In spite of everything, Microsoft also has its badges For Microsoft the only consolation is that its gigantic investment in OpenAi gives you the right to participate in the benefits of that company. In fact, the tense current relationship between the two adds to Openai’s intentions of becoming a profit company. That has implications for the future of the relationship, and In The Information indicated that Altman has proposed yield to Microsoft 33% of the company But renouncing future benefits. Participation is enormous and very juicy for Redmond’s, especially now that Openai is valued in 300,000 million dollarsbut there is much more at stake. In fact, in that potential divorce the one that seems to be winning is Openai, which has some of the best foundational and popular models in the world (GPT-4O, GPT-5), and who is the beautiful girl in the market: everyone wants to stick to it. Meanwhile, Microsoft is staying absolutely behind in the market, at least compared to its rivals. Let’s see: Google: It has invested a lot and well in own models (Gemini, Deepmind) and has a gigantic infrastructure, software and data. Not to mention Android and his search engine, AI entrance door for billions of users. XAI: Although less remarkable, the startup created by Elon Musk has managed to stand up with a Grok with a very different approach –zero censorship– which has managed to integrate with some … Read more

The coast of Cádiz is crowded in summer. Except an inexplicable beach that has managed to flee from mass tourism

by

Spain has a vast coastal strip of almost 8,000 km and much of it is formed by sand that every summer becomes Tourist boilersboth from other regions of Spain and abroad. Cádiz knows it well, although the Andalusian province can boast of conserving A (almost) virgin sand that has managed to avoid the traveler boom that saturates the country. His name: Castilnovo. A virgin beach? That’s how it is. That in summer you speak of the beaches and Cadiz coves is no novelty. After all, the Costa de la Luz and the Costa del Sol are two of the most busy destinations by tourists looking for sun and beach in the summer months. What is much less common is to find that one of those sandy sand is an almost virgin natural jewel, free of buildings, bars, hotels and hordes of veraneantes fighting for nailing its umbrellas. It is fair is what the Castilnovo Beach. Castilnovo Beach? His name may not be as known as that of the sands of Bologna, Burriana either Barrosaalso distributed along the Andalusian coast, but during the last weeks the beach of Castilnovo has activated the radar of the National Press and specialized media on trips. And it is logical. Located between the mouth of the salty and conilete rivers, this beach 3,000 meters It is a rare Avis of the Spanish coast, a haven of peace and tranquility that has managed to dodge the tourist boom of other points of the Spanish coast. And how is it? In words From the Conil Tourism Office it is an “extensive virgin beach ideal to enjoy long walks through a unique environment where nature is the protagonist”, a sand tongue of 3,000 kilometers That starts with Conil and ends near El Palmar, in the municipality of Vejer. “Beach of great landscape importance in which one of its most striking characteristics is the absence of constructions,” says the City Council before underline that the area includes dunes and salinas, in addition to cultivation fields, cattle and an “outstanding” variety of insects and birds, such as the SHATP SHAFT. No buildings? A look With Google Maps it shows that the landscape is quite different from that of the neighboring Costa de Sancti Petri. In Castilnovo, between the Palmar and Conil, a strip of fields is extended with hardly any constructions. In fact, the most emblematic is the tower that takes the name of the beach, an Almenara building that dating from the 16th century and is classified as a good of cultural interest (BIC). His aim It was to serve as a surveillance position to anticipate Berber attacks and identify the passage of Atunes. In 1755the same day Lisbon suffered An earthquakea tsamot destroyed part of the structure. Cádiz Diputación itself Highlight that “one of the most striking characteristics” of the beach is precisely that it lacks constructions. “The lonely Almenara Torre de Castilnovo rises on the horizon guarding the beach. A wide plain is extended around it where the crops, livestock land and the wet areas of the riverbank of the river are mixed on the wide surface, beyond the Las Marinas and old saline road dominate the land,” stands out. And how is it possible? Travel guides They usually emphasize that those who want to enjoy Castilnovo must keep in mind before what they will find there: a virgin space in which It is not strange See people practicing sports such as surfing, Windsurf or Kitesurf (even a nudist, although beach It is not cataloged as a naturist), but without the comfort of other sand. Usually The guides They point That has no beach bargain, bars, or nearby services. In some points there is not even coverage. And of course those who want to enjoy the landscape must walk and resign themselves to leave their car At a certain distance. The Diputación remember In addition, at least part of the space is protected by the City of Conil for its environmental importance.

472 km/hy 3,000 hp to be the fastest in the world

by

Byd has managed to get the speed record with an electric car. He has done it with the Yangwang U9, an electric supercard that is part of one of its luxury brands. The company has put all the meat on the grill with a car capable of jumping, circulating with three wheels … and, now, becoming the fastest electric car in the world. 472.41 km/h. It is the maximum speed reached by the Yangwang U9the electric supercard of the luxury firm of Byd. The company has confirmed that, on August 8, 2025, its electric car reached the aforementioned 472.41 km/h on the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg (Germany) testing. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Until now, the record was held by the ASPARK OWL SP600a Japanese car that had reached 438.7 km/h. That is, the Yangwang U9 has swept it from the map. Before, The Nevera Rimacthat until recently it was the most advanced electric car in the world, it is far away with tip speed of 412 km/h. The latest technology. Byd uses the Yangwang brand to show Your most advanced technology. The electrical supercar that has broken the record uses the E4 Platform and the Disus-X architecture that mounts the street car that is sold in China. But it has been possible to raise the platform up to 1,200 V. This is what allows you to reach a combined total power of 2,200 kW (3,000 hp) thanks to four 555 kW (755 hp) engines. Although the battery weight raises the weight to the point that we would consider it an overweight supercar, the irrational power figure leaves the car at 0.82 kg/cv. The showcase. But not everything is power in Yangwang U9. As we said, Byd uses this company to show its latest technology. In the case of Yangwang U9, a body balancing control system that keeps the car always flat, to the point that it is possible three -wheeled. Can even jump To avoid a bump if necessary. To get all these tricks, the system controls the pair to deliver to each wheel more than 100 times per second. Beyond the figures or the striking, this has its direct impact on behavior at live speeds but also to eliminate balance in case of overcoming highlights or potholes. And the electric supercar is not the only model with which Yangwang shows his latest technology. The Yangwang U8 is a gigantic SUV of more than five meters that is only able to overcome streams or face important water vadeo steps. His power is so much that is able to float as if it were a boat using its four engines. A story. Beyond demonstrating how far they are capable of arriving as a company, this attempt by Byd demonstrates the need for large Chinese companies to create a story around their brands. In the absence of history and a past in competitions, as they have done European and American firms, they have opted for the latest technology. It is the same that happens to Xiaomi and the reason why The first objective of the Ultra It has been to beat the record in green hell. Traditionally, brands have used Nürburgring Nordschleife to show that their cars were the fastest and their effectiveness. It is no accident that the Chinese company was launched to the German layout To get your own hole as soon as it had the slightest opportunity. As it is not accidental His appearance in Gran Turismo 7. This type of collaborations shows that the company is trying to do everything possible to earn a hole in the collective imaginary of the engine fan. The video game has served to recreate us playing with cars that we can never drive but also to sow the seed that your brand plays with the most top of the industry and directly, publicize a company that you had never heard before.

Among lamps, rebujitos and music in the booths, one of the surprises of the Malaga 2025 fair has not been in the concert program or in the attractions of the Cortijo de Torres. They have been six metal, discreet machines but with long lines in front: automatic alcoholic that, by one euro, allow anyone to know if it is in a position to take the car. The measure, designed as a road safety reinforcement, has ended up converted In a viral Tiktok challenge. Of prevention to networks in networks. The system is simple: a currency is introduced, a disposable nozzle is facilitated and in seconds the alcohol level in exhaled air appears on the screen. If it is green, it can be driven; If it is red, better leave the keys in your pocket and opt for a taxi. The motto of the devices summarizes it: “A euro or a fine?” But what was born as a awareness tool has become a show. “They go in a group and blow to see who gives more. Many drink from the cubata just before blowing and that makes the rate rise. I think it is because of the novelty,” explained Carlos Cecilia, creator of alcohol test, in statements to El País. In Tiktok videos multiply: From those who celebrate 0.0 with a “I had to be the driver”, to those who reach figures of 0.88 mg/l, levels that already constitute a crime. “More glasses than Atlético de Madrid”, shared a user that hung the tests of his friends. The phenomenon, According to the southern voicehas spread to become a viral trend that combines party, technology and risk. More than a hundred positive and two thousand assists. The other face of the fair, however, is less festive. According to the Balance of the City Council, collected by Europepressthe accident and crowded research group (GIAA) performed 2,352 breathalyzer and drug tests, with a result of 107 sanctioned positives, 16 criminal positives and 66 immobilized vehicles. In addition, the municipal health device attended to about 2,000 people, of which half for alcohol abuses. There were 60 hospital transfers, ten of them for ethyl poisonings. The fair, which combines tradition, music and gastronomy, also leaves an emergency reguero linked to consumption every year. The invisible face of the party. The viral challenges around the alcoholic are not harmless. Scientific evidence It is overwhelming: There is no level of alcohol consumption “without risk”. Even in small quantities, it is associated with cardiovascular problems, addiction and various types of cancer. For its part, A study published in Neurology He showed that excess drinkers have 133% more risk of cerebral vascular lesions than abstemious, and 60% more even who drink moderately. In fact, alcohol remains the first cause of avoidable traffic accidents: 33% of deceased drivers I had blood alcohol. A generation between two trends. The Malaga Fair reflects the contradiction of youth consumption. On the one hand, more and more young They say every day to day: Half of less than 30 claims to have reduced their consumption. Even at weddings, mocktails and alcoholless cocktails They gain groundwith couples who decide to eliminate alcohol from their celebrations.
