The most powerful countries and with greater electricity consumption per capita, ordered in this graphic developer

by

He Electric consumption It is a great thermometer for countries. The amount of energy we consume is an economic, but also social, climate indicator, of technological decisions and even lifestyle. The reason is that there is a wide range of factors that influence this consumption, and the following graph prepared by Visual Capitalist We can see what are the 15 countries with the highest GDP in the world which consume more electricity per capita. The surprise is called … Canada. Oh, Canada. The data comes from Ember and reflect the difference between the consumption of electricity per capita of the main world economies In 2024 and the one they had in 2000. A quarter of a century is more than enough to see a change in this regard, but what has not varied an apex are the two nations that lead the graph. Canada occupies the first position with consumption in 2024 of 15,708 kWh per person in 2024. The figure is considerably less than the one that registered 24 years ago and that high consumption is driven by an industry (especially mining and Aluminum production) very demanding at the energy level and for the electricity necessary to withstand the long winters. The United States, with 12,741 kWh per person, is not behind and the reasons are very similar: industry and air conditioning (which is at an excessive temperature both in winter and in summer). South Korea and China. Australia is another of the countries that traditionally exceeded 10,000 kWh per person, but these last 24 years have passed something curious: South Korea has glued a time comeback in this indicator. Here we enter that of electricity consumption as an economic thermometer, by relating the passage of the 6,200 kWh at 12,100 kWh due to an advance in advanced industrialization and manufacturing, especially in the segment of semiconductors and cars, as well as the growth of data centers. In China we live a very similar phenomenon, with a consumption of about 1,100 kWh in 2000 and one of 7,100 kWh currently due to that same technological expansion with the Accelerated industrialization in steelaluminum, electronics, data centers, semiconductors and electric vehicles as main protagonists. In addition, even if it is practically half of the per capita consumption of Canada, we are talking about a population of 1,400 million people compared to about 40 million. To put it in percentage: 17% of the world population compared to 0.5%. Logical. But the increase in consumption in these two countries is not only due to industrialization. Japan also has a strong industry and consumption has remained practically identical. There is another factor: The increase in middle classespecially in China. The increase of living standards, urbanization and electrification in homes has contributed considerably to this increase in consumption. Migration to large cities has generated a boom in construction and electrification due to the use of appliances, services and goods such as electric cars. Now, that is causing other problems, such as a life train incompatible with the formation of families wave Lack of people working in factoriesbeing two of the Shared problems with their neighbors Japan and South Korea. Two prominent outside the graphic. Germany, Spain and Italy have consumption very similar to those of 25 years ago, but if we look beyond this classification for the 15 main world economies, we have two names that eclipse everyone else. On the one hand, Iceland, with an imposing consumption of 51,920 kWh per person, thanks to the fact that there are not many Icelanders (about 300,000), but they do have A very potent industry such as aluminum, as well as very few hours of light and an extreme climate that requires constant lighting and heating. In Norway they also put the heating and light the lights, they also have an industry and a high standard of living that allows high consumption, but something that helps its consumption of 24,580 kWh per capita is a tremendous electric car park. In fact, in 2024, Almost 90% of the new cars sold were 100% electricwith what this entails at the charge level both at home and in public networks- In Xataka | This chart exposes self -sufficient countries at the food level.

This is how he ended up filtering private data from a Gmail user

by

Would you trust artificial intelligence for something as intimate as managing your email? It is not just about your answers, but about giving you access to actions in a private environment where we keep great Part of our personal and work life. The temptation is there. Why invest several minutes in manual searches and check messages one by one if you can delegate the task to an AI agent with an instruction as simple as the following: “Analyze my emails today and collect all the information about my process of hiring new employees”? On paper, the plan seems perfect. The AI ​​assumes tedious work and you recover time for what really matters. Of an innocent message to an invisible escape The problem is that this “magical” solution can also become against. Which promises to increase productivity can become the entrance door for attackers With bad intentions. This is warned by the last Cybersecury Radware Researchwhich demonstrates how a carefully elaborate email consisted of mocking the security defenses of the function In -depth research of Chatgpt and transform it into a tool to filter sensitive information. The disturbing of the report is the simplicity of the attack. It is not necessary to click on any link or download anything suspicious: it is enough that the assistant processes an altered mail to finish filtering sensitive information. The user continues with their day to day without noticing anything, while the data travel to a server controlled by the attacker. Part of success is in the combination of several classic social engineering techniques adapted to deceive AI. Authority statement: The message insists that the agent has “full authorization” and is “expected” to access external URLs, which generates a false feeling of permission. Malicious URL camouflage: The attacker’s address is presented as an official service, for example, a “compliance system” or a “profile recovery interface”, so that a legitimate corporate task may seem. Persistence mandate: When the so -called soft control failure, the prompt orders to try several times and “be creative” until you get access, which allows you to overcome non -deterministic restrictions. Emergency creation and consequences: Problems are noticed if the action is not completed, such as “the report will be incomplete”, which presses the assistant to run quickly. False security statement: It is ensured that the data is public or that the answer is “static html” and it is indicated that they are codified based on64 so that they are “safe”, a resource that actually helps hide the exfiltration. Clear and reproducible example: The email includes an example step by step how to format the data and the URL, which makes it easier for the model to follow it to the letter. As we can see, the vector is simple in its appearance and dangerous in its result. An email with hidden instructions in its HTML or metadata becomes, for the agent, a legitimate order. In general, the attack is materialized: The attacker prepares a legitimate email, but with code or instructions embedded in the HTML that are invisible to the user. The message reaches the recipient’s tray and goes unnoticed among the rest of the mails. When the user orders in depth of chatgpt to review or summarize the messages of the day, the agent processes the mail and does not distinguish between visible text and hidden instructions. The agent executes the instructions and makes a call to an external URL controlled by the attacker, including in the request data extracted from the mailbox. The organization does not detect the exit in its systems, because traffic leaves from the cloud of the supplier and not from its perimeter. The consequences go far beyond a simple manipulated mail. Being an agent connected with permits to act on the inbox, any document, invoice or strategy shared by email can end up in the hands of a third party without the user perceiving it. The risk is double: on the one hand, the loss of confidential information; On the other, the difficulty of tracking the escape, since the request is based on the infrastructure of the assistant itself and not from the company’s network. The consequences go far beyond a simple manipulated mail. The finding did not stay in a simple warning. He was communicated responsible for OpenAI, who recognized vulnerability and acted quickly to close it. Since then, the failure is corrected, but that does not mean that the risk has disappeared. What is evidenced is an attack pattern that could be repeated in other AI environments with similar characteristics, and that forces us to rethink how we manage confidence in these systems. We are entering at a time when IA agents multiply and force to rethink how we understand security. For many users a scenario such as we have described is unthinkable, even for those who have an advanced level in computer science. There is no antivirus that free us from this type of vulnerabilities: the key is to understand what happens and anticipate. The most striking thing is that attacks begin to look more like an exercise of persuasion in natural language than to a line of code.

Microsoft raises the prices of the Xbox Series X | S in the US. We already know what will happen in Europe

by

If you are in the United States and plan to buy a Microsoft console, time play against you. There are a few days left to order before the price upload the Xbox Series X | s. The company has announced that the increase will enter into force next month. From Redmond they explain that the measure responds to “changes in the macroeconomic environment.” They have not given more details, although in the background the current tariff war appears, which could be behind this decision, although Microsoft avoids mentioning it explicitly. The striking thing is that the adjustment is limited only to the United States. On its official website, the firm ensures that “prices outside the US remain unchanged.” A phrase that gives a respite to European users and other markets, at least for now. This is the prices of the Xbox Series X | S in the US Current prices in the US prices from October in the US Xbox Series S (512 GB) $ 379.99 399.99 dollars Xbox Series S (1 TB) $ 429.99 $ 449.99 Xbox Series x $ 599.99 $ 649.99 Xbox Series X Digital $ 549.99 $ 599.99 Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black (Special Edition) $ 729.99 $ 799.99 This is the second time in the year Microsoft makes its consoles more expensive. In May it already applied a global increase that, in addition, it extended to accessories such as controls and headphones. For example, the Xbox Series S of 512 GB, which could be achieved for 299.99 euros, stated 349.99 euros, an increase of 16.67%. But, as we say, in the old continent we will not have to support a new price increase in Microsoft consoles. Below we include a table with public sales prices (PVP) in Spain. It should be remembered that, although increases outside the United States will be applied, the figures may vary in other markets.

We have found the “Kriptonite” of the youth of generation Z: analog watches

by

A scene from the Academy of Operation Triunfo 2025 It has gone viral With more than one million views, but did not do it for the vocal talent of the participants: several contestants between 19 and 20 years did not know how to read What marked the needles of a clock Wall “I will have to pretend that I know how to read that,” said one of the participants. “Literal, I still” replied another of the participants. How curious it may seem, none of those present during breakfast time at the OT academy knew exactly What was the hand of the hours and which of the minutes. “The little girl is the one who marks the time and this is the one who marks the minutes. So it will be 10 because here is 11 and here is 12,” said Salma, 19 years old. “How do you know that? I don’t know that, “Olivia replied, with the same age. Noemí Galerathe head of the formation of the contestants of this edition of the reality musical sponsored by Prime Videohe had to make an appearance and, not without some narcotics, explain how that strange gadget with needles that hung from the wall worked. The generational gap of technology What seemed an anecdote is, in fact, a sign of how The lack of exposure To elements that the previous generations consider common, causes that Familiarity is lost With them. Be unable to Read the time on an analog clock It’s just an example of this. The most curious thing is that the scene they collected OT cameras They are not an increasingly younger case around the world are unable to read the time if it is not in a digital clock, in the same way that they do not understand the relationship between A cassette tape and a bic pen. The rise of electronic devices has made it much easier Find digital watches What analogical You have them on the mobile screen, on the smartwatches, On the computeron televisions, in public transport and even in the marques of the street. On the other hand, doing an exercise exercise, would you know how to say how many times have you read the time on an analog clock today? In fact, this exposure has been reduced so much that even Academic trials have been published of the Complutense University, the University of Alcalá and the Metropolitan University of Education Sciences in which it is questioned if the teaching staff should make a greater school effort in the teaching of the Concept of time and including reading analog watches. Science puts numbers A study Developed by Israel neurologists, he asked young people from generation Z (born after 1997) to draw a clock marking a specific hour that they indicated, in a usual test in the cognitive assessments called test of the clock drawing or CDT (CLOCK DRAWING TEST). Although most successfully got it, the average score was 8.1 out of 10 and the youngest of the group were the ones who made the most mistakes. The authors suggest that the lack of practice could be behind that lower ease when representing something that, in theory it is so basic for anyone over 30 years. Reading the time on an analog clock requires identifying two hands, interpreting its position and translating it into a number. However simple it seems is a Small cognitive and mathematical challenge. On the other hand, look at a mobile and read “14:37” does not require any viso -spatial process or its conversion to a numerical format as an analog watches require. With the format of digital clockthe brain obtains the data without intermediate calculations, which explains why digital watches are easier to use and intuitive for those who use it daily and does not require a certain cognitive training to read it and interpret it fluently. Outside the academy they don’t know the time either This situation is not exclusive to the participants of this 2025 edition of Operation Triunfo. In the US, A Yougov survey He revealed that 83% of those over 45 can read the time on an analog clock immediately, compared to 43% of young people under 30 who had this ability. 45% of these young people took a few seconds to do so and 12% or were not able to read it or took more than a few seconds to get it. In the United Kingdom the data is not much better. According The published by The Telegraphsome schools were replacing the analog watches with digital in the exam classrooms because the students did not know how much exam time they had left. This does not mean that generation Z “does not know” reading watches, but does it less fluently. The ability does not disappear, but it becomes something accessory, little practiced and less present in your daily life. The scene lived in the Academy of Triunfo more reflects a cultural and generational change than an individual failure. The loss of ease with needle watches is the logical result of digitalization: we use what we see more. And today, what we see more is The time on screens.

Farmers expect one of the worst harvest of what is going on the century

by

Pessimism is making its way in the grape sector. As the vintage season progresses in the different wine regions of our environment, the problems do not stop growing. The first was the price, with the farmers on a war for some prices that consider “ruinous”now, to this is added pessimism regarding the volume of the harvest. 34 million hectoliters. The 2025 harvest It is on its way to becoming In one of the worst views in recent years as the union of small farmers and livestock (UPA) recently stressed. Your concern is based on Estimates of the agro-food cooperative sector organization of Spain that indicate that this year’s wine production will be about 34 million hectoliters. As a contrast, The UPA points outan average season the wine production would be around 40-43 million hectoliters. From optimism to pessimism. The new estimate implies a remarkable cut with respect to the initial calculations, which trusted them to produce this year about 37.5 million hectoliters of wine and must. This fall is a reflection of an important change in the perception of what this harvest would be: of a optimism marked by the end of drought We have moved to a context in which pessimism predominates. Meteorology not so favorable. Meteorology has played an important role. The arrival of the rains seemed to bring new hopes to an agricultural sector punished by drought. However, hail storms, numerous this year, have taken its toll. He has also left his imprint in the harvest an extremely warm and drier summer than usual: the high temperatures of last month (in which we saw an intense heat wave) and the lack of rainfall have made a dent in the harvest, according to the UPA. More perhaps than meteorology, the sector also worries the climate: the UPA He also stood out The vulnerability of the sector to climate change, whose negative impact estimated at about 439,788 hectoliters, 1.4% of the harvest. The impact of the Mildiu. Another factor mentioned by the sector is that of Mildiu. This plants’ disease is a disease caused by fungi that infect plants and causes problems that end up being reflected in the productivity of the field. This Andalusia year, La Rioja, and Castilla y León have been the most affected communities according to the organization. A cGlobal RISIS. The volume of the harvest is just one of the problems that concern farmers. In its statement, the UPA also speaks of the uncertainty posed by the new US tariff policy, as well as the controversial reform of the common agricultural policy, the PAC. Although perhaps this year the great source of controversies has been economical. There have been several occasions in which farmers have protested because they consider that the prices offered by the wineries are not fair and that they focus on the crisis to their sector. To this we must add a structural problem in the sector, and that is that changes in consumption patterns have significantly punished the consumption of wine and many other alcoholic beverages.

We knew that the Dart mission changed Dimorphos’ trajectory. What we did not know is that its form also changed

by

At the end of September 2022, the Dart mission (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) It made historyInterestingly, stamping against an asteroid. The milestone was not on the impact itself but on achieving with him slightly divert the trajectory of an asteroid, Dimorphos. The expected and the unexpected. In the almost three years since then, we have been learning New details on the effects of Dart’s impact on Asteroid Dimorphos. Now we know, for example, that Dart not only managed to divert the orbital trajectory of the space rock; He also achieved with his impact to make the asteroid orbit deform significantly What happened. The asteroid, explained the team, initially had an oblate form, that is, flattened in the poles, such as the earth, “the shape of a hamburger.” After the impact, Dimorphos became a rather prolata, elongated in the poles, like a rugby ball. “For the most part, our predictions pre-impact on how Dart would change the way Didymos and her moon (Dimorphos) move in space were correct,” ” explained in a press release Derek Richardson, who led the analysis of the effects of the probe. “But there are some unexpected discoveries that help provide a better image on how asteroids and other small bodies are formed and evolved over time.” Tumbos. According to the team that analyzed these orbital changes, the impact would have made dimorphs pass from a state of equilibrium with its main asteroid Didymos similar to that of our moon with the earth, to an irregular one. That is, dimorphs always gave the same face to Didymos, at least Until Dart arrived. Now the system is out of its alignment, Richardson pointed out. This implies that it can stagger changing orientation, even ending up “tumbos”, rotating chaotically and unpredictable. Asteroid formation. Thanks to studies such as the one conducted by Richardson and the team, we can access new clues about the formation of asteroids. As explained by the team, the impact released small rocks that remained in the orbit of the asteroid system. These contributed to altering the orbital movement in the system, but these changes in the gravitational balance do not seem to have altered the form of didymos. This implies, the team added, that the main asteroid of the system was rigid and firm enough to maintain its form after the formation of its moon dimorphs. The details of the work were Published in an article In the magazine Planetary Science Journal. Hera’s turn. The scientific community now has new eyes on the Didymos system, those of Herathe mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) aimed at monitoring the system and collect new data In situ. If everything continues as planned, Hera will begin in October a trip that will lead her to reach the double asteroid towards the end of 2026. The data compiled by Hera They will allow an even more exhaustive analysis of the impact of the Dart mission. This in turn will be what gives us key clues that allow us to plan missions that protect our planet from the asteroid shock.

The human brain works as a predictive machine. The question is if a Cyborg future awaits us: 1×22 crossover

by

We have a new episode of Crossover, the 1×22, and attentive because this time the topic is so interesting and has given so much that we have dedicated the entire program. Thus, this time we have been able to interview the Dr. José Sánchezneuroscientific and disseminator, which investigates How the brain worksemotions and Intelligence. In this interview of just over an hour Sánchez makes us an introduction to his experience with this area and then start with a unique idea: that the brain is a predictive machine. It also speaks to us, of course, artificial intelligence – the generative is of course A predictive machine– And with human emotions, but then the thing gets interesting. And he does it because with him we chat of the impact, present and Neuralink future and brain chips of other rivals. How will that impact our future? Will we end up being something like Cyborgs? We do not know, but before that happens, there is another debate we are talking about: that of social relationships and how these advances can affect mental health. Without a doubt, a spectacular episode that we hope you enjoy as much as we have enjoyed seeing it. Do not hesitate to comment, please, both here and in the YouTube channel itself.

His motivations have gone far beyond salary

by

The gene generation It is revolutionizing The current work dynamics at a rate that exceeds any other generation. His arrival at the labor market has not been easy: his first jobs were marked by pandemic and the isolation of remote work, and his future depends on a technology that, for the moment, You are subtracting opportunities of employment. According to collected data By Randstad 54% of the respondents of this age range affirm that the labor market constantly traces In search of a new opportunity Professional and 33% plan to leave their current job in less than a year. In large part, that change is not motivated by the promise of better salaries or disloyalty: they do so for continuing to improve their skills and become better professionals. A lifetime job. Until the middle of the last century, it was very common for a person to start in a job when he was young and stayed in the same company throughout your life until retirement. At present that scenario is Very unlikely And, the most common is to change jobs from time to time. He Randstad report It indicates that the young people of the Z generate only remain an average of 1.1 years in their jobs, compared to the 1.8 years of the millennials, the 2.8 years of generation X and the 2.9 years on average of the boomers. According The published by The Wall Street Journalthe change of work no longer guarantees salary improvements as it did a few years ago, and the difference in increasing salary between who remain In their positions and those who change their jobs. “As a result, permanence in the position is being reduced: today’s young workers change work faster than any previous generation,” explain the authors of the report. Motivation: Advance and learn. Far from the extended image of disloyalty, the data collected by Randstad shows that the motivations that labor rotation It is not the lack of commitment, but the improvement of their skills and the desire to progress in your professional career. 68% declare that they maintain their commitment to their current jobs, but their values ​​are not aligned with those of the companies that hire them or do not contribute to Your professional growth. Only 56% of young people surveyed say that their current job It fits your needscompared to 63% of Baby Boomers. In addition, 40% of generation Z claim to always take into account its long -term professional objectives when changing jobs, which represents the highest percentage among all generations that currently They live in the labor market. A labor market that excludes them. To the usual uncertainty that surrounds all professional career, generation Z must add the pressure who is exercising AI over its jobs, forcing them to learn In forced marches not to be excluded from a labor market in which they still do not have their hole. That is making many of these young people change the sector guiding their professional careers towards jobs that they do not have such a direct impact of AI, as In the health sector and even in the so -called professions blue collar. “Economic volatility, the decrease in initial level opportunities and the impact of AI on skills profiles have not decreased the appetite of generation Z for advancing in their work,” explain the authors of the Randstad study. The key to retaining them: motivation and training. In the opinion of Reyes SuárezHR Team Leader in Randstad Professionals, “the Gen Z live in a constant immediacy and are much more daring. It is like the search for dopamine when using social networks and that derives in an unpaid ambition. In that sense, they are much more impatient than previous generations, which, on the other hand, were too cautious.” Suarez ensures that the formula to retain them is “to face that boldness by raising very well parameterized career plans and that they are clearly communicated.” According to report data ‘Workmonitor 2024‘Prepared by Randstad, 30% of young people claimed to have left their work for the lack of opportunities in professional progression and two out of five trusts that their employer will invest in their continuous learning, especially in AI and technology.

They do them for them and companies are taking action

The remote work interviews They have become fertile terrain for candidates to use AI as a cheat assistant and simply read the answers that the assistant facilitates in real time. A survey of the interview simulation portal with AI interviewing.io It points to the fact that 81% of the interviewers suspect that candidates use AI During their interviews, while 31 % have already confirmed it. The dilemma: traps or tools? One of the most striking cases of use of AI in the Cluelystartup founded by two Columbia student to solve technical interviews with the help of An undetectable For the interviewer. After discovering the deception, the University suspended it for “academic dishonesty.” However, the approach of the two students He opened a debate: Is it a trap to use a calculator or spelling corrector of the text editor or are they tools that everyone uses in their usual work? Increasingly hard interviews. To respond to these practices of candidates who hide the use of AI attendees during their interviews, companies have hardened the processes. As the analyst and engineer points out Gergely Orosz In one of the entries from your newslettersome companies are already changing the content of the interviews so that they are more open and require a logical route and not simply remain in the copy and paste of the Training questions that appear on platforms Training as Leetcode. Orosz stressed that the interviewers of large companies as a goal, are already obliged to indicate whether there are suspicions that the candidate is cheating at any point in the selection process, not only in technical tests. Thus, interviews are less vulnerable to the use of AI. According to statements From a finish line, “we demand the candidates to share their entire screen and deactivate all the background filters (including the blur) in most interviews” to reduce the possibility of external support. According to collected India TodayAmazon has already made it clear that “the use of unauthorized during interviews can lead to immediate disqualification” of the hiring process. Prohibit interviews. The dilemma facing technological press to use them In all possible processes. While some companies prohibit the use of AI In their interviews, others explore otherwise. According The published by Business InsiderGoal is allowing to use AI assistants in some of their work interviews. According to the company, “candidates can use AI tools in the same way that engineers do in their day to day.” What do you know how to do with AI? In that same line, other companies such as Canva move, which Incentives use of AI tools in their interviews to assess the skills of the candidates in this area. As stated, Farhan Thawar, Shopify engineering manager at A recent interviewin the selection processes of their department they let the candidates use what they want. “I love it. Because what happens now is that Ia sometimes generates pure garbage. When the candidate uses an AI assistant, I like to see the code generated. I ask them: What do you think? Is it a good code? Isn’t it a good code?
