There are two clear winners in the AI ​​race in mobiles. The rest comes bad and afternoon

by

There is a clear career that most manufacturers want to lead: that of artificial intelligence. If there is a company that wanted to bet with all the meat on the grill for the IA that has been Samsung, with its concept Galaxy AI. Although its software has a large basis, support in Gemini Nano It is the key to a good part of its functions. This Google model is open to the rest of the manufacturers, who have been implementing these functionalities to a greater or lesser extent. Let’s tell you Who are leading the AI ​​race on mobile phonesand how the scenario for the short term is drawn, since the evolution of each ROM is beginning to be relatively predictable. Samsung, the absolute leader Samsung It is the company that is best doing with AI, no matter how much. The functions of Galaxy AI start from the basic functions of Gemini Nano, but are complemented by Samsung’s interpretation to provide their devices with even more specific and exclusive functions. Translation and transcription of calls in real time, interpreter mode, transcription of voice to text in APP recorder, Circle to Search Improved and adapted to the S-PEN, native translation in apps such as WhatsApp, and a generative engine engine using text prompts or on our own stroke. In the same way, we have the promise that apps will interact with each other naturallystarting with basics like WhatsApp. This is a function in which none of its rivals is working, and that contributes even more value to the family. Functions that arrived in the Galaxy S24 and that have been refined in the Galaxy S25 family. Today, no telephone has the potential at the generative level, with the translation functions so polished or the summary quality. Google has the model, but not the tools Google has a double -edged sword. It is the one who created the Nano model that feeds the AI ​​of most Android phones, but has been implementing the apps so long, than There are functions that we don’t even understand how AI (although they are). For practical purposes, this is even positive, and makes him take second place. Google is a leader in elimination of objects through Google photos, it makes it great transcribing voice to text, it is capable of Reimagine What has happened in our photographs, and has a fairly complete gemini integration. The Pixel continue to grant the cleanest experience, and this is related to AI: using a Google mobile is to use native functions to which we are already used to and, even if they are based on AI, we do not perceive it as something external or novel. It is simply our pixel functioning as it should. Apple arrives halfway, but it arrives Apple Intelligence already works in Spainthrough beta for iOS developers 18.4. It is currently one of the few companies that its software has in Beta: the rest has been stably. Despite this, and although its operation has a lot of margin of improvement, there are some characteristics that Apple shine in front of some of its rivals. And that does not speak precisely well about the rest of the functions that are being implemented in Android. The key is that their rivals are based on Gemini as an assistant. An assistant who, for the moment, cannot do too many things. Apple has integrated chatgpt in Siriand this is a fusion that we had not seen to date. I have to say that, over the days, the experience is being increasingly positive, even if it remains quite green. In fact, Apple itself has admitted that He is not ready to implement the new Siri in his AIpointing out that until 2026 we will not know her. The rest of the functions are quite similar to what the Gemini model proposes: summaries, transcripts, elimination of objects and people … everything works quite behind what Samsung achieves and, for the moment, there is not a single function in which I shine above its rivals. The key with Apple is that, at some point, Siri will be able to read everything on the screen to understand the request we are looking for. What are Chinese manufacturers Oppo, Xiaomi, honor and manufacturers as living have quite different interpretations. Within China, Oppo is leading the AI ​​career. Oppo introduced its Oppo ai with reindeer 12and I have to admit that it works quite well. The elimination of objects is one of the best we have seen to date, it is able to transcribe voice to text and has useful functions, such as detecting people with closed eyes in photographs to “open them” by AI. The rest of the functions are quite lower, such as the elimination of reflexes in photos, increased artificial sharpness, and generation of avatars by AI. Xiaomi arrives quite late with Hyperaiimplementing the functions that we have already seen in the rest of its rivals, but with a fairly poor operation. So much so that it is not even good to eliminate people from the photos, something that Google photos for a few years. Honor has Yoyo as AI agent, but in Spain he does not perform too many functions. In China, this agent now works with Deepseek and understands natural language, pointing ways. Knowing the state of the career in which they meet, Honor has invested More than 10,000 million dollars For his Honor agent aia commitment to the understanding of natural language within the native apps themselves. It is still in the development phase. Image | Xataka In Xataka | What is artificial intelligence: a simple and complete explanation for everyone

The director of ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Tomorrow’ produces this apocalyptic epic that has just come to streaming

by

If you are interested in catastrophes cinema, you have undoubtedly heard of Roland Emmerich: ‘Tomorrow’ or ‘2012’ until the most recent and hilarious ‘Moonfall’, his Cite has always been synonymous with the joggy and shameless show, as he demonstrated since his beginnings in classics such as ‘Independence Day’, ‘Universal Soldier’ ​​or ‘Stargate’. Now it comes to us To Filmin A film in which Emmerich assumed the role of a producer, but that maintains his vibrant rhythm and his vision of science fiction as a warning about our future: ‘The Colony‘. The film is directed by Tim Fehlbaum, which was already seen in a similar situation with ‘Hell’, in which a group of survivors had to protect themselves from the solar rays that had ended life on earth. Fehlhaum has also been nominated this year to the Oscar for Best Screenplay for his film about the kidnapping of several Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics. On this occasion, climatic disasters have left the land completely uninhabitable, and the population has had to abandon it. However, on other planets, settlers are not able to reproduce, and a woman returns to earth to discover the cause of that infertility. In our desolate planet you will encounter an explorer with which it concludes that it is time for the settlers to return to the earth. But the few remaining land do not agree that it is a good idea. Undoubtedly, the most suggestive (and scary) of the film is the vision of the planet, whose surface, After climate change, it has been flooded by immense masses of water. Survivors take refuge in stranded loaders, in an aesthetic that partly reminds the world described in ‘Waterworld’. Not without some visual pessimistic poetry, ‘The Colony’ raises a bleak future, but in which there is space for hope.

A new type of dark matter

by

The mystery of dark matter is one of the great unknowns that pursue the scientific community. Well, now this mystery could be folded. And it is that a group of researchers claims to have found indications of a second type of dark matter. Dark matter 2.0: A group of researchers has postulated A unique hypothesis to explain a chemical phenomenon observed in the central area of ​​our galaxy. Its proposal implies the existence of a new type of dark matter. “Loaded” hydrogen. The focus of the mystery is found in hydrogen clouds located near the center of our galaxy. What makes these clouds an enigma is the fact that they are positively loaded, that is, hydrogen atoms in them have lost their electrons. The problem is that we do not know what has caused the ionization of these clouds, what an energy enough event could the electrons of their atoms start. As explained Those responsible for the study, the “energy firms” that reach us from this region of the galaxy suggest the existence of “a constant, turbulent energy source.” The explanation to this phenomenon proposed by the team is related to dark matter, but has an important nuance. WIMP Dark matter is a key element of cosmological models that attempts to explain some anomalies detected in the movement of large space bodies, such as galaxies. Dark matter would represent about 85% of all matter existing in the universe and would only interact with the rest of the matter through gravity, hence we have not yet been able to detect it in another way other than through gravitational movements. One of the hypotheses that try to explain this phenomenon focuses on the so -called massive particles of weak interaction or WIMP (Weakly interacting massive partners). The new study indicates that these would not be responsible for what happens in the center of the galaxy. Mass of mass. The responsible team postulates that the particles responsible for ionizing hydrogen clouds are actually A new type of dark mattercharacterized by having a much lower dough than the WIMP would have. The new hypothesis postulates that these “tiny particles” would collide with each other producing in these charged particles, a physical process called “annihilation.” It would be in turn these charged particles that would be ionizing the gas clouds. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Physical Review Letters. Alternative hypothesis. As the team points out, so far the main suspects of this phenomenon were cosmic rays. The team maintains that the new theory explains the phenomenon with greater precision. And, according to the observations, the “energy firm” of the phenomena observed in this region does not seem intense enough to be attributed to the phenomenon of cosmic rays. This implies that the cause of this “annihilation” must be “slower than a cosmic and less massive ray than a wimp.” In Xataka | In the sky of the Canary Islands not only stars are seen: we have just discovered a superstierra only 56 light years Image | Nick Risinger

The longest land border in the world made by the human being is a gigantic firewall between the US and Canada

by

One of the most controversial borders of the last weeks is, curiously, one in which there are no war conflicts: the one that separates Canada from the United States. It is a peculiar border, with numerous rural points without surveillance and whose straight line looks like a gigantic firewall visible from spaceliterally dividing what he finds in his path. And, although it seems that something like this is a vote of confidence among good neighbors, the latest events show that even the world’s least monitored border can become tensions scenario. The longest in the world. It extends along the whopping of 8,891 kilometers and, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris Of 1783, there were the first steps to define limits in the territory of future United States and British Columbia. It was the moment in which the United States War of Independence was put an end, but the final demarcation of the border would take more than a century to arrive, and would do so in the form of a gigantic firewall. Literally: There is no need to throw imagination: that central line extends thousands and thousands of kilometers The ‘firewall’. The upper image represents a tiny border segment, in one of the rural areas. It is taken from Google Maps Because it is a border of the most visual (and I encourage you to throw a rare sailing through the app discovering curious cases). If a river or a mountain range does not physically separate the territory, Canadians and American are distanced by a gigantic firewall who, in much of the border, is still a straight line that divides forest, rural and even cities. The entire central part of the border and even the Pacific responds to that design based on parallel 49 After the Treaties of Paris and Jaythere were still fringes that would not be resolved until decades later, but one of the decisive moments arrived at the London Convention of 1818. In it, the 49 parallel was established as the border between the two countries, from the Lake Forests to the Rocky Mountains. In 1846, the Oregon treaty The witness collected, continuing the decision that the 49 parallel marked the border from the roco mountains to the Pacific, except a Vancubert that remained in the northern domains. The firewall and a road portion that gets into Canada … and returns to the US Even so, there were borders that were still clear, such as Alaska, so arbitration was created specifically designed for that border. In 1908 the border was consolidated in the International Limits Commission. It was then that the decision was made to physically demarcate the division, creating an immense firewall or strip that definitely marked the limits of each country. The border is full of these markers that delimit the state to which each area belongs Together, but not scrambled. Imagine that you are playing a video game and you want to define a division without you care where the lines fall. Well, a similar case is the one that is lived in some locations that have part of the territory in the United States and part in Canada. It is not that there are curious cases such as Mexico City (which on one side of the street are in the State of Mexico and, in the other, in Mexico City), but that there are buildings with a division that marks that its plant is in two different countries. An example is the Library of Derby Line, Vermont, or Stanstead, Quebec (depends on the side of the border on which you are). On the floor of the reading room there is a black line that marks the country where you are, being one of the most curious cases, but not the only one. In Vermont and Quebec there are houses that catch in the middle of the border, cases such as the Halfway house, which was a tavern/hotel built in 1820 before that part of the border was established and other examples of land with part in the United States and another part in Canada. The house in the US, the tools house in Canada Golf cart parked in the US, Hoyos in Canada Half of the house pays taxes on one side, the other in the other. It is a joke, but there are few constructions that share country Point Roberts. But there are not only lands split in half: also areas that belong to one of the two countries and those that are only land link through the opposite nation. Maybe Alaska is the most famous – also the largest – and, although connected by the Arctic and the Pacific through ship, if you want to go by land you can only through Canada. Point Roberts is one of the curious examples. It is located in the state of Washington and is the ‘piquito’ of a peninsula only accessible by land through Canada. It is one of those cases in which you cross a street and pass from the Canadian city Delta to the American Point Roberts. Point Roberts Something similar occurs with Elm Point, a small uninhabited cape surrounded by lake except by the north, being Canadian territory and the only way to access by land. There are many more examples like this, such as the island of Province whose southern end belongs to the United States and where we can see another example of that firewall we were talking about before. Elm Point Elm Point closely Machias Seal. But of course, so many situations of a territory cut by the border gives rise to some tensions, and the best example of this is that of the Machias Seal Island. It is an island in the Gulf of Maine that is administered by Canada, but which the United States claims as theirs. No one lives, but there is a lighthouse built in 1832 in which Canada maintains Coast Guard personnel. And the reason for this interest on the … Read more

80 years ago Peugeot already had an electric car. One that was born in World War II and to which the Nazis killed

by

World War II left a razed Germany that needed to rebuild from 1945. With the support of the ally capitalist bloc, German growth was fast and for years it moved in spectacular figures. In spite of everything, there was an entire society that had to recover his life and get out of poverty caused by war. They say that despite that panorama, Ferdinand Porsche saw the opportunity to throw a car that nobody thought: A sports. Yes, most of the society was immersed in a reconstruction but there was also an elite that He continued to demand the luxuries of yesteryear. Putting a sports car on the market was imperative to resurrect Porsche and, at the same time, allowed a part of society to distinguish against the rest. In Motor journalism They collect that the company’s mandamás stressed what the guidelines should be. Liberated from every position in 1948 (he had been arrested in France in 1945 and accused of collaborating with the Nazi regime), they say he mentioned the following words: “At that moment I looked around and I didn’t find the car I dreamed, so I decided to build it myself“ That car was the Porsche 356, which gave wings again to the company. In those years, Germany was focused on rebuilding and was more evident than ever the saving philosophy of its citizens. Protestantism and difficulties During and after World War II they had defined the character of the Germans. Despite this, Ferdinand Porsche decided that the time had come to launch a car that would be iconic: the Porsche 911. A sports car that threatened all German austerity. It was the culmination of reconstruction after World War II. When you think about war, you also have to think about the reconstruction. Ferdinand Porsche began to shuffle what they should do once it was already imperative. But in Peugeot they already started thinking about her, even before the contest had ended. They were moments of reflection and trying to understand how we were going to live once the greatest war in the history of Europe would end. And the French were clear that something should change in our way of moving. So, they presented the Peugeot VLV. Yes, the first completely electric Peugeot. Thinking about the future When in the mid -twentieth century a World War relieves another there is a problem: fuel is scarce. And if the fuel is scarce, perhaps the time has come to go to the electric car. Aware that autonomy was scarce but some needs were imperious, Peugeot proposed in 1941 An electric car as a vehicle for medical emergency services, pharmacy personnel or emails. It was, in reality, an option cut from the Peugeot 201 from which it derived. In this case, they had cut the back to make a kind of convertible with canvas hood. But, without a doubt, the most curious part was the rear, with two small wheels that, not to make sure they are there, make the car more a tricycle than a four -wheel car. The motorization that moved the Peugeot VLV was born a few years before. Already in the 20s they began to turn the idea that ended up seeing the light with a 12 V engine that delivered 3.3 hp. With them he managed to reach a maximum of 36 km/hy with a battery that consisted of four packages could travel a maximum of 80 kilometers. The figures, in fact, seem particularly good for the time. The secret was in a body manufactured in aluminum that guaranteed a very contained weight. The Peugeot VLV stayed at 365 kg. A prodigy that used a marketing strategy of our time. The classic Leon that has always accompanied Peugeot was replaced by a ray on the front. However, his life was brief. As soon as 377 units were built before Vichy’s collaborative government ordered the end of its production in 1943. The official discourse He pointed out that money should not be dedicated to the research and development of vehicles that were not purely essential.

The day that United Kingdom invaded Tenerife without knowing what was inside

by

Almost all the nations of the old continent have a historical figure in war. However, few as the figure of the vice courage HORATIO NELSONOfficer of the British Royal Navy (Royal Navy) whose name became omnipresent during the contests of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. To get an idea, it is considered one of the greatest naval commanders in history. Everything changed when it arrived in the Canary Islands. He fled. And without an arm. Context: Cádiz and British frustration. To understand how the plan to take the island of Tenerife began we must go back to The Battle of Cabo San Vicente In February 1797. It was a British victory over the Spanish Navy, but failed to completely weaken the enemy fleet. In fact, the Admiral John Jervisfrustrated by The resistance in Cádiz And the difficulties in maintaining an effective block, decided to divert his attention to the south. Destination: Tenerife, a key point on Spanish trade routes with America. Plus: The report that several Spanish ships They transported wealth from the American continent Towards the island he convinced Jervis that a surprise attack on the capital of Santa Cruz could result in an easy victory. Thus, he called and ordered Horathio Nelson to command an expedition with the aim of taking the city and looting his treasures. The game. Nelson’s historical figure entrusted to the mission. The commander left on July 14, 1797 with a powerful squad of 4,000 men and more than 400 cannonscomposed of its HMS toheus flagship and other vessels such as the HMS Culloden, HMS Zealous next to several frigates and auxiliary ships. The plan consisted of a night operation with landing at two strategic pointsfollowed by a final assault against the port. Defensive preparations. It happens that the general lieutenant Antonio Gutiérrez de Otero and Santayanawho had already defeated the British in two previous attempts, anticipated the attack and Fortified Santa Cruz With 91 artillery batteries, regular troops, local militiamen and French sailors captured from the Mutine frigate. Although his strength was less, With 1,700 menthe fortified position of the city gave him a decisive advantage. Nelson portrait The British attack. On July 20, Nelson sent an ultimatum demanding the surrender of the city and threatening its destruction if their demands were not met. Gutiérrez categorically rejected the proposal. Thus, in The night of July 22the British attack began with a first wave of landing on the beach of Valseco, but the strong currents and Spanish fire caused confusion among the attackers. Several boats sank, and the soldiers who managed to reach the ground were easy white for Spanish artillery. Seeing the failure, Nelson ordered the withdrawal of this first incursion. Determined to take Santa Cruz, Nelson devised A second assaultthis time led by himself. At 10:30 pm on July 24, he directed A flotilla of 700 men towards the port with the hope of surprising the defenders. However, the Spanish sentries detected the maneuver and gave the alarm. At 11:00 pm, an intense rain of cannon shots and musket shot fell on the British, who met their wet and unused ammunition. The arm. Here is one of the most notable facts of the battle due to the importance of the character. Nelson, who had just landed on the beach, was reached by A cannon shot In the right arm. Seriously injured, his stepson, Lieutenant Nisbet, made an improvised tourniquet and took him back to HMS tohels. Once on board, the surgeon He amputated his arm and the remains were thrown into the sea. Nelson, frustrated and weakened, was removed from combat. Canarian resistance. Meanwhile, the British who managed to disembark on the beach of the butchers tried to take the city, capturing the convent of the consolation. What happened? Who were surrounded and harassed by Cross fire from strengths And the roofs of the houses, where citizens joined the defense shooting at the invaders. The British managed to momentarily block access to the port, but without support from the sea and with many casualties, they realized that they were trapped. Toubridge, the British commander in command after the withdrawal of Nelson, threatened to set the entire city on fire if they were not allowed to retire with honor. Gutiérrez, experienced military, refused to give in to intimidation and increased bombing About the besieged British. The surrender. In the early hours of July 25, seeing that there was no escape, Toubridge requested a truce. Gutierrez, in a gesture that historians have always defined as of gentlemenityhe agreed to negotiate and allowed the British to retire with military honors, on condition that they did not attack Tenerife or the Canary Islands. The final figures threw a clear winner: the Spaniards lost only 30 men, while The British suffered 250 dead and 128 injured. Gutiérrez even lent ships to the British to transport their wounded soldiers back to England. Beer and cheese. In fact, in an unusual courtesy exchange in times of war, Nelson sent a letter of thanks to Gutiérrez, apparently accompanied by English beer and cheese. Gutiérrez replied by sending him Spanish wine and cheese. Despite the friendly gesture, Nelson never forgot that humiliation suffered in Tenerife, a battle that later I would describe how “The most horrible hell I’ve ever endured.” Impact and legacy. This was folded to a story that could have changed the Canary Islands flag. The Defeat in Santa Cruz de Tenerife It marked the end of British ambitions in the islands. The Royal Navy never tried to invade Tenerife, and the victory strengthened Spanish morality at a crucial moment of the United Kingdom. Since then, in Santa Cruz the battle is commemorated every year The recreation of the deed of July 25, in which actors dressed in replicas of the uniforms of the time recreate the confrontation. With a lower army in number and resources, Gutiérrez and his troops showed that strategic resistance and knowledge of the land could even impose himself on the most … Read more

China needs cardiologists in an increasingly aged society. His answer is an AI that “reason” as the best

by

820,000 people. That is the number of patients that the Department of Cardiology of the Zhongshan hospital attended in 2024. A very high figure for a country in which doctors are missing and that sees that, every so often, every so often, His hospitals overflow. Increased higher health coverage, especially for an increasingly aging populationand the answer has been found in artificial intelligence. In a cardiologist, specifically, which has trained with a base of hundreds of thousands of people and has all the support of the government. Cardiomind. That is the name of artificial intelligence that has been developed by the Zhongshan hospital, the University of Fudan and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Academy for Science. It is a joint effort to create an AI that, according to them, is able to reason as their best cardiologists. GE Junbo is one of those outstanding cardiologists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Comment They are feeding the system with data, but they also teach him “to think as an expert first level cardiologist.” Co-pilot. In this way, Cardiomind compares patient history and the results of tests based on global research to generate diagnostic suggestions. And if you were raising one, leaving the possibility of leaving your heart’s health on the awareness of a machine, in the word “suggestion” is the key. According to its creators, the idea is not that doctors are replaced, but that it helps those members of a congested system to work faster and more accurately. “With their help, our doctors can attend more patients, reduce the workload and improve both the quality of the diagnosis and the treatment,” commented The doctor. Pillars. The secret of the pizza is in the dough, in the case of AI, that special sauce is the training. Cardiomind is a multimodal system that can analyze and process data from various sources (electrocardiograms, ultrasound and laboratory results, for example) to provide its diagnosis, and it is what has been trained. The source has been hundreds of thousands of medical records that the Hospital Cardiology Department had stored for decades, learning in the process how doctors think both in the diagnosis and during treatment. In addition to multimodal and very trained, it specializes in one thing: cardiovascular diseases. Total government support. And all this comes from the hand of itself. China is investing strong in development of artificial intelligences and, although in the West only a few as Deepseek They are the ones that attract attention, the country has been betting for the development of these systems to decongest several organisms. And that of medicine is fundamental. In January of this year, and apart from Cardiomind, established In Shanghai the first test and verification center of large models of AI in the field of medicine. Their fields will be assistance, disease prediction, personalized treatment according to the history of each patient and support to develop drugs. Necessary. Such is that impulse that several hospitals already have their own AI platforms, even some that They combine Contemporary and traditional medicine. And the reason why this technological development is being promoted is the one mentioned above. The population is getting older and doctors are missing. It is estimated that the country has 1.9 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants and They want have 5.5 nurses per 1,000 people for this year. In other countries, the average is devastating. In Spain, for example, there is 6.21 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants. In the case of nurses, the figure is 7.12. Challenges. Now, despite that government impulse, there are three elements to take into account. One is that of the data security to guarantee privacy. In the case of Cardiomind, those responsible developed a firewall with encrypted data. Other countries are studying How to apply AI in cardiology and, precisely, data leakage and ethics is a point that is usually present Among the concerns. Ethics also plays a role, since if it goes from suggesting to a more important role, it would be necessary to legally regulate it. At the moment, or they are in charge “only” of paperwork and records or, if they attend decision making, the last word has a human. In addition, there is the technological issue itself. The development of these artificial intelligences needs servers and calculation power. It is something that China is solving more or less controversial forms buying items that They should not be able to buy due to the commercial war with the West, but also using solutions developed at home, such as the chips of a huawei that is the spearhead in development of hardware for AI in the Asian giant.

The Tesla Roadster is a castle in the air, so two ex-engineers from Tesla have decided to create theirs

by

We have heard of the Tesla Roadster Since 2017. almost ten years have passed and the Tesla supercar only delayed itself, having promised that It would begin to be manufactured in 2022, 2024and currently without news of any kind about its production jump. Tired of the wait, two former Tesla engineers have decided to create an ultralight and hand -made alternative. His name is Longbow, and his deliveries will begin next year. The concept they promised us. Beyond mastodon with hundreds of horses and thousands of horse horses, Tesla Roadster wanted to fulfill the fantasy of every lover of the Supercutives: a very fast vehicle, but also very light. Zero to one hundred in 1.9 seconds, 400 -hour tip speed, 1000 kilometers of autonomy and a weight of just 1,000 kilos. Basically, carry the mad concept of the old Lotus, Triumph, Jaguar or Caterham to a street electric vehicle. The alternative that comes. Tesla’s idea, at least until now, are just birds in the air. Mark Tapscott and Daniel Davey, engineers involved in Tesla, Lucid Motors and Byd projects, have decided to get to work and create an alternative. “We need a light and more driver -oriented sporting, an affordable and accessible one for those who love to drive. That is why we create LongBow. Our first two cars, the Speedster and the Roadster, embody everything that a modern car must be: agile, balanced, electrical and exciting. We are reviving an icon: the light British sports car” These two cars will weigh less than 995 kilos (895 in the case of the Speedster), and promise to be “the spiritual successors of British icons such as the Lotus Elise and the Jaguar E-Type”. There will be no difficult figures to promise: they will offer around 330 hp and will make 0 to 100 in just over three seconds. Its batteries will allow autonomies of between 442 and 280 kilometers, according to the model, and its manufacture will be completely handmade in the United Kingdom. How much does the caprice of the electric supercar cost. Longbow figure at 64,995 pounds (77,476 euros) the price of the roadster, and in about 100,000 euros the Speedster. Only 150 units of each will be manufactured, with a total of 35 special editions (Luminary First Edition and 25 Autograph Edition.). Reservations are now available On the official website of the manufacturer, waiting for deliveries to begin from next year. The extinction of Light Sports. Beyond peculiar and isolated cases, such as Longbow’s, the Radiography of Light Sports is not flattering. The trend with electrification is that of create overweight carswith few options in the market saving specific cases such as Toyota Gr86 either GR YARIS (both combustion). The dream of British Deportivo is still alive in projects for the wealthiest. Meanwhile, the rest is still waiting The affordable electric.

The migration of billionaires in the last decade, explained in an illustrative graphic

by

In the last decade, we have seen interesting changes in the Formation of new fortunes around the world and how new technologies were replacing oil, logistics or industry as origins of that wealth. However, these fortunes do not have to remain exclusively in a single country so, such as migratory birds, billionaires also They move around the world looking for the best conditions To develop your fortunes. Migratory fortunes The report ‘Billionaire Ambions Report 2024 ‘ Prepared by Financial Entity UBS has studied the movements of the great fortunes between 2015 and 2024, observing some patterns that reflect the economic policies that the different territories have taken and the effects that these policies have on the great assets. To help us have a more global vision of the subject, in Visualcapitalist have developed a graph with the data of the Migratory study of great fortunes of ubs. According to the report data, since 2020, about 176 billionaires, which in total totaling a joint assets of more than 400,000 million dollars, have moved to other countries. This means that approximately one in 15 billionaires in the world has changed residence Looking for more conducive airs for your fortunes. The reasons why they move are varied, but mainly they look for tax advantages and places where is easier do business. China, Switzerland and the United States are some of the most popular destinations for these ultra -ups. On the other hand, Eastern Europe has seen the largest exit of billionaires in the last ten years. China leaves a positive multimillionaire balance The case of China is quite paradigmatic since it has become the country that has won the most billionaires in net terms during the last decade. According to UBS records, in 2024, China had 501 billionaires in total. During the years that monitors the study, 73 ultrarricos moved to China from other countries, while 48 millionaires undertook the opposite path abandoning the country. The result is a positive balance of 25 billionaires for China. Despite the recent economic problems caused by the Real estate crisis in Chinathe total richness of its billionaires has doubled since 2015, reaching 1.8 billion dollars.
