We analyze the big question in video after the Apple event

by

Less than 24 hours have passed since Apple presented the new iPhone and, as usual, doubts arise: ¿It is worth renewing the mobile for any of the new models? Does it make sense to make the leap to iPhone Air or is it better to go directly for one of the Pro Line? You may even be valuing a third way: take advantage of discounts from previous models. We return with one of our favorite formats, the Versus. In it we have already compared watches for less than 200 euros, Tables for the Tour of Class And even some of Amazon’s best selling fryers. This time it is the turn of the iPhone. Although we still don’t have the new models in our hands, our partner Samuel Oliver He has put them face to answer the big question: Which one to choose from? Buy a new generation iPhone or take advantage of a previous model? For a long time, the pro models have monopolized all the prominence. This year, the situation has changed. “I think this year’s stars are the base models: we are finally Promotion with those 120 Hz and the 48 MP sensor In your main camera. He iPhone 17 He has inherited a lot from last year’s pro models and receives new chip, the A19 along with important improvements in the Selfie Chamber, ”says Samuel. In the video, our partner describes some of the key assets of the new entrance models, two elements that can be decisive for many users. “Pro models this year are more decaffeinated with potentYou like video and photography”, He adds in front of the camera, and launches a forceful appreciation on the iPhone Air. So far, what is the most difficult mobile to recommend? We will discover it. Samuel also raises several scenarios, including a very common one: those who are thinking of getting an iPhone of the previous generation. “It is Apple’s best telephone until the arrival of the new one, with all the camera news, processor, the camera control button, prepared for Apple Intelligence,” he says about one of the models that has been in the market for a while. In addition, it highlights some of its most relevant characteristics. In the video it is also explained what alternatives we have when Apple discourages models of your store. And here there is good news: It is possible to find interesting devices at lower pricesa more than valid option if you are looking for an iPhone without leaving a fortune. As always in VersusSamuel reviews the strengths and weaknesses of models such as iPhone 15 or the iPhone 14and leaves us not only with its winning option, but with clues for each type of user to find their best choice. The video It is now available on the Xataka YouTube channel. We invite you to see it and, of course, to leave your impressions in the comments.

Renfe has had a record summer of delays, and more than two million AVE travelers have run out of refund for changes

by

Summer has been hard for rail transport in Spain. Four out of ten high speed trains They arrived late at their destinationbut only three out of 100 passengers were able to claim some kind of compensation, according to The world. The data comes after hardening Refund conditions of Renfe in 2024, the main reason why the figures contrast both with the data prior to the reform. Change of conditions. In July 2024, Renfe reformed Its ‘punctuality commitment’, multiplying the minimum delay time necessary to claim half of the ticket. If 15 minutes were enough to get 50% of the amount, now a full hour is needed. For total refund, the threshold went from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. The company justified this tightening as an “update” to continue being “the most advantageous for the traveler”, as the medium collects. Summer figures. As They point From the world, between June and August, 6,554 long -distance trains and AVE arrived with delays exceeding 15 minutes, affecting 2.5 million passengers. However, with the new rules, only 444,000 travelers were entitled to compensation. This means that more than 2 million users who would have received a refund with the previous criteria were left without it. This, according to the medium, would mean a saving of about 79 million euros only in these three months. Context. The reform is covered in the European Parliament Regulation of 2021, although at that time, Renfe offered much more generous compensations than the minimum required by European regulations. And while the EU forces to compensate with 25% of the ticket after 60 minutes late, the Spanish operator gave 50% with only 15 minutes. Now he has hardened his measures just when more delays are recorded. Problems that follow there. Minister Óscar Puente acknowledged in September that the rail system will continue to have incidents “at least two more years”, according to collect The world. The problems range from Fissures in Talgo S106 trains (which forced to withdraw the low cost services from AVLO on the Madrid-Barcelona route) up to infrastructure deficiencies caused by fireaccording to the medium. The alternative to service, the conventional bird, costs up to 34% more than the economic option eliminated. What comes now? Bridge has traveled to Germany To look for new trains in factories such as Siemens, recognizing that without renewing the fleet it will be impossible to improve the service, as collect The world. “We must not launch the bells on the fly, but if we do not renew the fleet, it is evident that we will not be able to improve in any case the service we are providing to the citizenship,” admits bridge. And in addition to having been a summer to forget in terms of ferroviar delays, it has also agreed that reimbursement conditions have also worsened.

Zuckerberg already has his superintelligence team. It also has many employees angered by the abysmal salaries difference

by

Imagine that you have been working in a company for many years and hire a new team, which is dedicated to the same as you, but charges much more. I wouldn’t make any grace. This is what is happening in goal after the arrival of the new superintelligence team and its millionaire salaries. Zuckerberg has spent summer hiring the best talents of AI And now that he has them, he faces a problem: get everyone to be happy. Page more. As reported in the Wall Street Journalone of the consequences after the formation of the superintelligence team has been that the most veteran employees have begun to compete for new positions and salary increases. An employee who achieved a millionaire bonus left anyway because he thought the new ones continued to win more than him. Privileges. The new team, to which TBD Lab have baptized, works at the finish line in Menlo Park, in a restricted access zone very close to the office of Zuckerberg himself and their names do not even appear in the organization chart of the company. The secretism surrounding the project and these security measures are creating the perception that there is a distinction between employees. Counteroffertes. Some unhappy employees went to the competition in search of new opportunities and got a counterofferte by the goal to stay. According to the Wall Street Journal, some got important increases and even moved to the TBD Lab team. Meta has denied it, ensuring that they already planned to move those employees. Resignations. We recently talked about The first side effects of these millionaire hiring. They counted In Wired that at least three of the new signings had resigned just a few weeks after starting in their new positions. Ruben Mayer, who came from Scale AI left the company for personal reasons. Avi Verma and Ethan Knight went to Openai, and Rishabh Agarwal He did not make clear what his destiny would be. There are more. Chaya Nayak, product director of the generative and goal employee for more than eight years, has also gone to OpenAi. Volatility. The case of Shengjia Zhao illustrates very well the volatility of the IA labor market. He reached the finish line as part of the Superintelligence Team and, according to Wireda week he decided to return to OpenAI. Meta got his salary tripling, in addition to offering him the position of chief scientist. Again, goal denies it and In the announcement They affirmed that Zhao had been the chief scientist since the first day, but they had not made it official until then.

The Greek yogurt has conquered the supermarket yogurts. All thanks to the magic word: protein

by

On my last visit to the supermarket I realized that it was no longer enough to choose between natural or flavors. Now the labels speak of “Greek” or “protein”, without forgetting the “0% fat.” “Choose your own adventure,” we might think at first glance. However, my approach focuses on the Greek yogurt, because the “protein yogurt” we already know that we are in the It was of chic protein. But what is special for Greek yogurt to have become the protagonist? Is it really better for health or is it a triumph of marketing? More than an exotic name. Greek yogurt is no recent invention. In the Mediterranean basin it has been consumed for centuries as a basic food: thick, satiating and easy to conserve thanks to the casting that eliminates part of the serum. In Greece it is usual to serve it with honey and nuts, and in Türkiye or in the Middle East it is used in salty sauces and dishes. His jump to global fame arrived just two decades ago, when international brands began to market it. And what distinguishes it is not its passport, but rather its process: the liquid serum is sneaking, which gives it a thicker and more creamy texture, and a protein content greater than that of a conventional yogurt. A chute of protein. It seems that here is the kit of the matter. In a New York Times reportEthan Balk, a professor of nutrition at the University of New York, defined it as a complete protein: it contains the nine essential amino acids that the body does not produce for itself. In addition, clinical studies They have demonstrated that consuming it as a snack helps reduce hunger and delay the following meal. Also, a meta -analysis Add that This high protein density can help reduce total caloric intake and to increase metabolism when it is part of a balanced diet. But the Greek yogurt does not stay there. The interesting thing comes when we see what else contributes. Loses part of calcium in the process. And yes, this occurs in the casting part, but still remains a good source of this mineral and protein, key to bone health. In an article for News Medical Today They point out that An adequate intake of both nutrients can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. In addition, a 2014 study He found a relationship between the usual consumption of yogurt and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The intestine, great protagonist. All yogurts with live crops, including Greek, contain probiotics: the famous “good bacteria.” Andrew T. Chan, Harvard gastroenterologist, He continued for years To more than 130,000 adults and observed something striking: those who ate yogurt twice a week had 20% less risk of a subtype of colon cancer compared to those who barely tried it. This does not prove that yogurt is a coat against cancer, because it was an observational study and did not distinguish varieties. But it does add to a body of increasing evidence on the value of those fermented in the diet. For its part, Since May ClinicThey add that yogurt bacteria participate not only in digestion, but also in the regulation of the immune system and in the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, fundamental for mood. Not all Greek yogurts are the same. At this point it seems obvious, but it should be remembered: not everything that the label “Greek” deserves the same place in the fridge. Some Greek yogurts of flavors can carry both added sugar that go from healthy food to outrage, The New York Times warns. Since May Clinic They recommend fixing in which the container indicates “living and active crops”, since not all yogurts maintain probiotics after the pasteurization process. In addition, dietitian Elaine Siu, cited by NYTsuggests accompanying it with fruit, nuts or seeds: thus we add the fiber that the beneficial bacteria need to multiply. And if you do not consume dairy, the most balanced nutrient alternative is the fortified soy yogurt with calcium and vitamin D. A superfood? This word has become very fashionable and we cannot say that Greek yogurt is. However, if we can clarify that it is a dense product in nutrients: complete proteins, vitamin B12, probiotics and calcium in a single container. In a saturated market of labels and claims, the conclusion seems clear: the value of the Greek yogurt is not called “Greek” but to presume to be another value in the fever of the protein.

A strangely calm hurricanes season approaches a final uncertain stretch

by

September 10 is a date marked in the calendars of hurricane -expert meteorologists. It is the date on which the Atlantic hurricanes season usually achieves its peak of activity. But the decreasing trend in the average activity of Atlantic cyclones should not deceive us: there is still a season ahead. We enter the final stretch. According to Experts remember NHC (National Hurricane Center), the American center dedicated to the study of hurricanes, 60% of the activity of hurricanes occurs, generally, after this peak. That is, despite having already gone through the temporary Ecuador of the season (which begins on June 1 and ends on November 30), we could still have more than half of the cyclonic activity ahead. NHC meteorologists also remember that the activity in this part of the season tends to affect the western zone of the North Atlantic, the most vulnerable area to this type of storm because it is in North America and the Caribbean where they usually touch earth. A quiet season. When the Atlantic hurricane season began, there for June, experts predicted a relatively quiet season, but the data show an even greater meekness than expected. When measuring the intensity of a hurricane season, different measures can be used such as the number of storms named, hurricane number, sum of the days with active hurricanes, etc. Another useful measure is that of the index of accumulated cyclonic energy (ACE). According to The data of the Tropical Meteorology Project of the State University of Colorado (CSU), at this point in the hurricane season, the expected Ace based on the Atlantic weather would be 55.8, while the ACE observed is only 39. This implies that the observed data are 30.1% lower compared to those initially expected. Erin, the disruptive force. In addition, there is the circumstance that most of this energy is due to a single hurricane, Erin. Erin’s Ace was 32.2which represents about 82.6% of the total season. What’s happening. That this year’s season was less intense than the previous one was to wait: the temperature in the Atlantic, even though it has not reached the extreme levels seen in recent years and the oscillation of the child has remained in a kind of indecision. A Recent study Led by the meteorologist of the CSU Philip Klotzbach, he highlighted three reasons that could explain to a good extent what we are observing, starting with an “dry and stable” Atlantic. The second of the factors highlighted by the team is a channel pronounced in the high troposphere capable of increasing the vertical wind shear (one of the two determining factors, together with the oceanic temperature, in the formation of hurricanes). The third and last factor would be a descending movement over the African continent, which would be affecting rainfall in West Africa and with it the intensity of waves in the region. What can we expect. Klotzbach’s team coincides with NHC experts to emphasize the possibility that the season resume intensity from this month. “We anticipate that the resume season (intensity), since large -scale conditions seem more tropical and favorable to cyclones later in September,” explain in your text. Therefore they recommend not changing seasonal forecast. The initial estimate of the Tropical Meteorology project of the CSU indicated that the expected oil for the end of the year It is 122.5. On the other hand, if we take the last data (39) and apply the estimate that 60% of the activity occurs in these last months of the season, we would have an expected oil around 100. We will have to wait to see if the trend continues or if on the contrary we see if this season steps on the accelerator in its last months of activity.

Baidu has just launched a new AI model that competes with the best. The surprise: it is not Open Source

by

Baidu has presented Ernie X1.1, a new generative model that represents a promising qualitative leap and that seems to compete from you to you with their rivals. That is not so surprising. What it is is that we are facing a model that goes against the Chinese trend: it is closed. Why is it important. Being “the Chinese Google” worked very well for Baidu for more than two decades, but in recent times this Chinese technological giant is trying to Do not lose commits in the AI ​​race. His last movement goes in that direction: Ernie X1.1 has just presented, the latest version of a reasoning model that earns whole. The model can be easily tested in the Official Chatbot Website (You have to display the option to use the Ernie X1.1 model if you are not selected). The new Ernie X1.1 competes from you to you with Depseek-R1, Gemini-2.5 Pro and even GPT-5 in various benchmarks Promising. The internal tests published by BAIDU reveal that their new reasoning model offers “significant advances” in terms of precision of the answers (34.8% better than Ernie X1), instructions monitoring (12.5% ​​better) and agricultural capacities (9.6% better). Not only that: its performance in Benchmarks exceeds Desepseek R1-0528, the reference AI model for months in China. It is also able to compete in performance with GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro, two of the most advanced models today. But closed. While the trend in China is to offer open models in which at least the weights with which these models have trained, Baidu has decided that at the moment Ernie X1.1 will be closed. The model has been offered to corporate clients already developers through the Baidu cloud platform, called Qianfan (via API), in addition to its aforementioned availability in Ernie.baidu.com. Meanwhile, other models open. What it has done is to open the Ernie-4.5-21B-A3B-Thinking model, a version that is somewhat less capable but that has reasoning capacity and that supports a context window of 128,000 tokens. This model uses a MOE (Mixture of Experts) architecture with 21,000 million total parameters although only 3,000 million of them are active to make it more efficient. The model is for example available Through Hugging Face. An AI that accompanies the elderly. As they point out In SCMPduring the presentation of this wang haifeng model, Cto de Baidu, advertisement The launch of an AI agent destined to accompany the elderly. The objective is to help the more than 310 million Chinese who are over 60 years offering information that for example can help them with their health status and also allows us to discern whether the information they find on the Internet can be harmful to them. Counting Erres. In Xataka we have been able to use Ernie X1.1 for a few hours and the first impressions are very positive. The reasoning model is especially careful when answering, and for example when asking “how many” R “does the phrase ‘the San Roque dog has no tail because Ramón Ramírez has stolen it’?” The model correctly replied that 9, when Ernie 4.5, also available on that website, replied quickly but badly: 8. We also ask you to create a table with the 10 countries that had won the most football, and once again The answer It was perfect, something we had not seen in almost any previous model. In other interactions – for example, when creating and analyzing Python code – the performance was also remarkable. In the absence of trying it in depth, these small tests point to a really remarkable behavior of the model. But rivals squeeze. We are therefore before a striking step by Baidu, both for that promising performance and for the fact that the company has given up not opening it for the moment. In front of Ernie X1.1, yes, the competition is fierce. Both QWen3-Max-Preview (Alibaba) and Kimi-K2-0905 (MoNshot) have achieved enter the list Of the 10 most powerful models on the market According to LMarena. There for those who lead are Gemini-2.5 Pro, Claude Opus 4.1, O3 and GPT-5-High, but the advance of these Chinese models is remarkable. It remains to be seen if Ernie X1.1 will also sneak that list. In Xataka | Deepseek has given the starting gun in the race for a cheaper AI. And China starts with advantage

The old business software guard

by

Oracle has shown that the true business of business AI is not only in creating the most advanced models, but also in sell the critical infrastructure that companies already consolidated need To implement them, shooting their pending contracts and their bag value. Why is it important. Oracle’s strategy reflects that traditional technological giants are not being revolutionary with AI, but they are using it to reinforce their market dominance. Its key advantage is not pure innovation, but the confidence, data and commercial relations built for decades with the largest companies in the world. What has happened. Oracle has reported income of 14,930 million dollars in the first quarter of its fiscal year, 12% more year -on -year. However, the most important metric were its remaining performance obligations (RPO) – futures already hired – that fired 359% to 455,000 million dollars. As a consequence, His actions rose more than 25% In operations after closing. In detail. The growth of the company is not based on creating its own models of generative, but on selling the “peaks and blades” for this revolution: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): Competes directly with AWS and Azure to house models of the partners such as Openai and Google. Vector databases: Offers optimized databases to Embeddings vector, an essential component for AI applications such as semantic search and RAG. Integration of AI: Embeds AI functions in their existing business products such as Netsuite and Fusion. And sells updates to an already captive customer base. Yes, but. Oracle is not alone. This is a pattern that is repeated among business software giants. SAP He is doing the same with his Rise and Sap AI platform. IBM Take advantage Watsonx and Red Hat Openshift Ai for business environments. Salesforce integrates its Einstein GPT in all your CRM suite. The context. For years, many venture capital analysts and funds have considered companies such as “Living Dead” Oracle, still powerful but destined to be replaced by more agile startups. The AI ​​boom has invested this narrative. It turns out that having decades of business data, compliance with safety regulations and the confidence of technology directors is more valuable to display critical infrastructure of AI than having the most novel model of the moment. Outstanding image | Oracle In Xataka | Microsoft has just made the greatest investment in its history. And not in Openai, but in an unknown Dutch company

Apple has taken a step back with the iPhone 17 Pro. It was necessary to make a leap forward

by

Apple has just presented the iPhone 17 PROy, with him, we already have all the letters on the table in terms of high performance processors. The new iPhone sets the soc a19 pro, the Pixel 10 Pro has the G5 tensor and we already knew the Snapdragon 8 Elite of mobiles like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Those of the apple carry generations fighting to mark the rhythm in terms of power Thanks to some chips that have less nuclei than those of the competition, but great performance both in CPU and GPU. They are also usually sparse when talking about concrete specifications, such as the frequency of these nuclei, but this year they have been overcome. They have given very few data from the A19 Pro and, nevertheless, They announce how big they are “The most powerful pro models ever created”. The funny thing is that this power of the iPhone 17 Pro can be more marked by the design of the mobile than only by the benefits of the processor itself. Because you don’t have to talk about how premium that is titanium and glass: you have to talk about aluminum. And it makes all the meaning in addition to a great enemy: the covers. THE DELIBLED MYSTERY OF THE A19 PRO Apple is a company that takes great care of communication and does not say a word higher than another without having seriously meditated. Before seeing how they are talking about the power of the new iPhone, let’s see what they wanted to teach the processor. To read something about A19 PRO, you have to go down to the middle of the terminal’s presentation page, where we can see that the soc “It offers the greatest power that an iPhone has had”. On the page characteristicsthey simply detail that it has six CPU nuclei (with two performance and four efficiency), six GPU cores with neuronal accelerators (this is the great novelty of this soc, by the way) and 16 nuclei in its ‘Neural Engine’. Same CPU nuclei and same configuration as the A18 PRO (And that the A17 PRO) and same GPU nuclei, but now each of those nuclei with a support for the locations of the AI ​​at the local level. We have not had the classic “yields x% more than the previous generation, something they detailed before. The only percentage of yield we have had is that of sustained yield 40% better. And this is what must be explained because it is not so much thanks to the A19 Pro … as the design of the iPhone 17 Pro. Steam chamber and aluminum body, performance keys On its website, Apple mentions that “thermal design innovation makes the GPU and CPU achieve up to a 40 % more constant performance“, And all” thanks to their advanced cooling technology and the unibody structure of aluminum “, which has” allowed them to create the most powerful iPhone of all time. “ In the first seconds of the presentation of this model, we saw that Apple focused on showing the new chassis of the iPhone 17 Pro: A unibody body which implies that the sides, the interior and much of what we will have in sight and between hands it has been created from one piece, and not joining several to create the body. It is something that Apple itself has already done in the past and that companies like Tesla, with her gigapressThey also use to build a chassis with the least possible number of pieces. But what attracts attention is the material: aluminum. Apple has a couple of generations selling the idea that titanium and crystal of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro It was the culmination of what we could understand as a mobile manufactured with premium materials and … do they return to aluminum after all these years? As paragraphs said: it is the decision that makes sense if they want solve a historical problem. Aluminum is a material that is used, next to copper, when creating the dissipators that we have in consoles, computers and other devices that generate heat. He is a great driver, so the heat of his chips is easily transferred to aluminum and, from there, to the environment, helping to refrigerate the circuitry. Titanium and, above all, crystal … are not great heat drivers. It depends on many factors such as alloy and thickness, but it is estimated that thermal conductivity, in watts per meter and Kelvin, of the three materials is as follows: As I say, it is a measure that depends, but w/mk above or down, it is evident that aluminum is much better dissipating the heat than the other two materials. But if the iPhone 17 pro were only aluminum, it would be uncomfortable in the hand under heavy tasks (or recording video, that there is no need to render something with the iPhone so that TEMPERATE TEMPERATE). That’s where Apple’s other great rectification comes into play: a dissipation system at the height. Last year We already saw that Apple incorporated a structure of graphite to drive the heat of the processor and distribute it better for the rear of the phone to prevent it from concentrating on a single point. It was something necessary, but we also commented that it might not be enough. Thermal strangulation tests, as evidenced: When the iPhone is demanded, it is heated and the SOC, to protect itself, enters what we know as Throttling: its frequency – and performance – low to heat less. When the iPhone returns to normal temperature, the frequency of the processor increases automatically. This generation, finally, have been given and accepted reality, incorporating a rumored steam camerawhich is one of the most advanced systems to dissipate heat. This mechanism It uses a metallic duct full of a low pressure fluid that, when changing state between liquid and vapor, transfers heat to reduce the device temperature. That is why Apple, both in the presentation … Read more

“It’s not about reducing staff. It’s about working together”

by

Microsoft has announced from a statement in your blog An important update in its flexible work policy, which will require employees return to the office At least three days a week. The statement is signed by Amy Coleman, Executive Vice President and Microsoft Human Resources Director and it ensures that the main reason for this change is not the Encourage resignationsbut optimize your organization. “It is important to note that this update is not about reducing staff. It is about working together to meet the needs of our clients,” says the writing. A progressive return. The change announced in the Microsoft statement will be gradually implemented. The first to apply will be the employees of the Seattle headquarters who live less than 80 kilometers from this office. These employees will begin to go to the office three days a week from the end of February 2026. Already without citing a specific date, the return to the office will expand to the rest of the offices in the United States, to finally apply to the other international headquarters of the company. A change of model. Microsoft champted the adoption of Flexible Work Model giving example of the versatility of the remote work tools they produced. In fact, until only a few months ago, while many technology companies began to implement their policies back to the office, Microsoft maintained their commitment to flexibility and teleworking ensuring that their employees could continue working from their homes whenever Productivity was not affected. From the address, it is underlined that the teams that They work face to face “They are more motivated, more empowered and reach better results” when working together. Flexibility does not disappear, but the face -to -face time becomes “intentionally and shocking”, being a fundamental part of Microsoft’s new work culture. Exceptions for some positions. In its statement, Coleman points out that, those employees who prove “unusually long or complex” displacements, for example, if it implies the use of various means of transport “, will be exempt from going to the offices and can continue to telework or with a less restrictive model. Similarly, those positions in the Sales, Accounts Management, Consulting and Marketing departments will also be exempt from this new policy because “they require flexibility to meet with customers or partners.” Such and as they highlight in The VergeThe letter also indicates that some employees could exceed those three days in the office with 100% face -to -face models. “Each company will do what best suits its team, which means that some groups will deviate from our general expectations,” said Coleman. Pandemia changed everything, AI returns it to its place. The Covid-19 pandemia sent the employees of the great technological ones To their homes. Now, the career to get hegemony In the Race for AI and the urgency to make profitable millionaire investments That Satya Nadella’s company is doing in it. With this turn to a more face -to -face labor model, Microsoft aligns with other technological giants such as Google, Amazon and Meta, who have already adopted similar schemes demanding their employees go to the office Between three and five days a week.
