What is seen at the bottom of the map is an extreme anticyclonic dorsal. And that is what is going to put Spain again to boil

by

It is a story that has been repeated from the beginning of summer: an anticyclonic dorsal will dominate the atmosphere on our heads, which in turn implies the return of heat. The return to 40º. The next few days will be, again, of extreme heat. The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) has warned of temperatures that They can exceed 40º in large areas of the South and that could also reach 42º in specific areas of the Peninsular South. An extreme dorsal again. The person responsible is a dorsal, and a considerable magnitude: 600 DAMMERS (DAM) Geopotential with the center located in North Africa. This means that we have to ascend about six kilometers in the atmosphere before reaching the point where the atmospheric pressure is 500 hectopascal (HPA), when the “normal” value of this altitude would be around 5.5 km. Although the geopotential in most of the peninsular Spain is rather something above the 594 DAM, this involves “record” levels for this time of year in the southwest peninsular quadrant and part of the center, indicated on Twitter The physicist, meteorologist and disseminator JJ German. Stability and sun. The dorsals They imply An anticyclonic context that in turn entails stability and clear skies and high insolation. If we add its ability to drag air from North Africa and its recurrence we will see with a situation like this, a summer that has already served to break numerous records in temperature and other atmospheric variables. Yellow and orange warnings. Temperatures may not reach the levels of previous warm episodes, and the fact that we are already in July (one month on average warmer than June) implies that this geopotential anomaly will not translate into large anomalies. Despite this, mercury will rise enough to Aemet activates various notices associated with extreme temperatures in much of the country between today and Thursday. The orange notices between today and Wednesday will be concentrated in areas of the center and southwest peninsular: Valleles del Tajo, Guadiana and Guadalquivir, especially. On Thursday, extreme heat will also affect the East, with part of the Ebro Valley, La Mancha Albacete and the interior of some Mediterranean provinces under orange warning. High maximums and tropical nights. The agency’s prediction For these days they talk about temperatures that “will exceed 38-40 (Grada) in large areas of the southern half of the Atlantic aspect” tomorrow Wednesday, with areas of the Guadalquivir Valley, being able to exceed 42º. The forecasts for Thursday will be somewhat less extreme, although the 35º will be exceeded in most of the southern half and in the northern plateau. As if this were not enough, the minimums will also remain high: large areas of the south and the Mediterranean basin will see how mercury does not fall from the 20º. Again the Guadalquivir Valley would be the most affected Peninsula area: the minimum could stay here above 25º, that is, we could see the return of the “Equatorial nights” Change of trend. For now, the dorsals have alternated with tormentous episodes driven by vaguadas, danas or other phenomena associated with a low pressures zone. This week the pattern will be repeated with a thermal relief that will arrive on Friday, accompanied, yes, storms that already concern some experts.

We thought that the law against the so -called spam had not served at all. But we already have the first fine of 5,000 euros

by

Facing telephone spam is complicated, it seems even impossible. Nor the Robinson list nor the Call filters They manage to eradicate them completely. In 2023 we thought we were close to the arrival of The antispam lawbut hopes were diluted today We continue to receive commercial calls. It has taken two years, but something could happen: already They have fined the first company to make unwanted calls. The case. It happened in July 2023, only one month after the law entered into force. The Digital Marketing company Adverbis Spain SL made a call to an individual, who was also registered in the Robinson list. So far as normal, except that this person decided to report him to the Spanish Agency for Data Protection that, two years later, has sanctioned the company with 5,000 euros. Notice a spammers. Although we have talked about Other telephone spam finesthis is the first that applies after the entry into force of the new law. For two years the feeling that the law had not served at all was installed among users and it seems that spammers also, since Calls increased shortly after. It has taken a long time, but this fine feels an important precedent and could be the change we had waiting. The law. The known as antispam law establishes that companies cannot make commercial calls without prior consent And it establishes fines that could reach two million euros, depending on the size of the company that commits the infraction. In the case of Adverbis Spain, it is a small company, so the fine is much lower, but if the offender is a larger operator can find a sanction of many more figures. How to report. We have already seen that, although they take, denounce the AEPD works. Yes too You receive commercial calls and want to reporton your website you have a section called “Receipt advertising phone calls” Where can you do it. You have to take screenshots in which the phone is seen from which they call us and record the call as proof.

That the US government let him sell his H20 chip again in China

by

If the US government maintains the prohibition of sale of avant -garde chips to artificial intelligence (AI) To China, Nvidia will enter this year 15,000 million dollars less. This is What he holds The company led by Jensen Huang, and is certainly the argument that this executive resorted during his meeting with Donald Trump last week to expose The complex scenario facing Nvidia. And it worked. May sell Your H20 GPU To his Chinese clients very soon. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of Nvidia with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, the country governed by Xi Jinping is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. However, SANCTIONS TO CHINA which is deploying the US government threatens Nvidia’s survival in this Asian country. Currently this company cannot sell its chips to its Chinese clients for the most advanced. Nvidia is determined to survive in the Chinese market at any price The reception that the Chinese clients of Nvidia initially gave to the GPU H20 was very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite their limitations their sales in China grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it reached this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export to China of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. This news Nvidia’s shares sank 6% in the bag because I could no longer attend the commitments linked to the H20 GPU that it had acquired. NVIDIA has made the Department of Commerce review its regulation and allow you to sell the H20 GPU in China again Among the Chinese clients who had bought great amounts of this GPU, and who presumably planned to continue doing it, were Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance. Finally, as we have anticipated in the holder and the first paragraph of this article, Nvidia has made the Department of Commerce review its regulation and allow you to sell the H20 GPU in China again. “The US government has assured us that licenses will be granted. We hope to start deliveries soon,” Pray a statement from Nvidia. However, this is not all. And in June the Taiwanese manufacturer of TSMC semiconductors, The Major on the Planetbegan the manufacture of a new GPU for NVIDIA with the latest generation Blackwell microarchitecture. Presumably this is the chip with which Nvidia aspires to maintain her domain in the Chinese market. Of course, before being able to send these GPU to China, the company led by Jensen Huang will have to receive the approval of the US Department of Commerce. What we know at the moment is that this chip for AI will be less capable than the H20 GPU, as is logical, and also that its price will move between $ 6,500 and $ 8,000. For domestic users it is a lot of money, but in the field of professional GPUs for AI it is a moderate price. In fact, the H20 GPU costs between $ 10,000 and $ 12,000, so it is evident that Nvidia wants to protect the competitiveness of this chip to prevent Huawei, Moore Threads and other Chinese companies and other Chinese companies to snatch a juicy portion of this market.

The curious story of how an eight -year -old girl unwittingly discovered the paintings of the Altamira cave

by

A few minutes by car from the precious, fresh and walkable Cantabrian town Santillana del Mar is one of the great national treasures, the Altamira cave. Closed to the public now for obvious reasons, but visited through a recreation made to the millimeter baptized as NeocuevaAltamira retains an impressive collection of Paleolithic paintings, the oldest with more than 30,000 years of history. And like many other great discoveries, we arrive at her by chance. This is its story. Modesto Cubillas. Although the discovery of the Altamira cave has always been involved in a certain controversythe Ministry of Culture of Spain He attributes it To Modesto Cubillas in 1868. The story that Cubillas was hunting when his dog fell through some rocks while chasing a dam. When attending his aid, he met the caverns, to which he did not give greater importance for 1) to be common in the region and 2) be covered with vegetation. The first visit. Cubillas told what he had seen his neighbors, but the thing was there. It was not until 1875 when Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, naturalist, Spanish prehistoriator and great -great grandfather of Ana Botín (president of the Board of Directors of the Santander Bank), visited the cave for the first time to meet zero units of things that called him attention, beyond black lines to which he did not give importance. Input of the Neocueva that recreates the original entrance | Image: Xataka But yes … Years later, Marcelino attended the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1878 And there he could see prehistoric objects. How were, how to identify them. Armed with new knowledge, he decided to return to the cave with the little girl María San de Sautuola y Galantehis daughter of only eight years. That was in 1879. The innocent curiosity. While the father was looking for remains at the entrance of the cave, little Maria, motivated by the innate curiosity of a girl of her age, decided to continue forward and enter the gallery. Upon arriving at the bottom, Maria shouted “Look Dad, oxen” while pointing to the roof. They were not oxen, but bison, but the error was normal: the oxen were the shot animals used in the area. Marcelino identified the species represented as the bison, which was then considered extinct in Europe, but did not find bones of the animal in the cave. Given the unusual of the cave, whose realistic paintings extended throughout the roof, thus being one of the most important and large discoveries of the moment, all kinds of debates were generated. From the denialism of discovery to accusations that it had been Marcelino himself who had painted the figures. The years, however, would be right, although this could write rivers and ink rivers. They were not oxen, they were bison | Image: Xataka And he got. The news of the discovery of the paintings soon arrived at the nearby corners. Hundreds and hundreds of people approached the cave carrying, in an entire exercise of irresponsibility as a result of ignorance, candles, candiles, compasses and strings. The visitors took the remains to their home, chopped the ground to find more and the cave began to deteriorate. Thus, Marcelino Sanz de Sautuloa decided to place a wooden door on the hole that made the entrance. Puerta that paid from his own pocket and after obtaining the authorization of the village of Vispieres, headlines of the cave. In return, he invited them to a snack that took place, curiously, inside Altamira. In the lower image the signed document can be seen and the promise of making a snack. Later, in 1880, the wooden door was changed to an iron fence and a guard was appointed. Authorization signed by the neighbors to put a wooden door at the entrance of the cave | Image: Xataka Entrance is not the original. An important note: the hole that was covered with a fence was not the original entrance. The great mouth of the cave where the inhabitants of Altamira made life collapsed 13,000 years ago. That entry remained covered until its discovery in 1869. Thanks to the stability of the inner atmosphere, the paintings have been able to preserve well for millennia. The current entrance was built in 1927 and the closest to the original mouth is the entrance to the Neocueva. THE VISITS PROBLEM. Returning to La Cueva, in 1910 the City Council of Santillana del Mar created a conservation and defense board of the cave that, back in 1917, allowed the visit with a guide. In 1924 he was declared a National Monument and the rest can be imagined. The number of people who accessed the cave increased more and more, being the 60s and 70s the most dangerous. Only in 1973 more than 174,000 people accessed inside. Such was the influx of people who, after a study and A debate that reached the Congress of DeputiesIn 1977 he closed. Panoramic roof of the Altamira cave | Image: Xataka Closed. Altamira closed its doors until 1982, when it was reopened with a limited capacity of 8,500 people a year. The interest of the people valued the idea of creating a visitable replica, something that happened in 2001 with the Neocueva located in the newly opened National Museum and Research Center of Altamira. In 2002, the cave closed the public again Waiting for impact studies. It would be reopened in February 2014 and until August of that same year, admitting five people per day for 37 minutes to study the impact of possible visits. The sign.

Archaeologists believed to know the history of the Maya. Until they found the tomb of the first King of Caracol

by

Forty years are nothing. Not at least if we talk about the archaeological research of Snailan ancient and impressive Mayan city located in what is Belize today. Although the teachers Diane and Arlen Chasefrom the University of Houston (UH), they have been excavating the deposit for more than four decades had not yet found one of their Great treasures Occults: a grave of almost 1,700 years in which the remains of Te K’ab Chaak, the first ruling of Caracol and founder of a powerful dynasty that lasted for almost five centuries rest. The finding is key for what he reveals to Te K’ab Chaak, but also about his context. “They rewrite the Mayan history”, They claim From the UH. In a remote place by Belize … The Chiquibul Forest Reserve He hosts one of Belize’s most important (and impressive) Mayan deposits: the ancient city of Caracol. It is believed that at its peak came to occupy an area of almost 100 km2, with agricultural fields and careful urban planning, and welcomed 100,000 inhabitants. That without counting its geopolitical weight in the Mayan civilization and its participation in wars with neighboring towns, such as Tikal either UCANAL. One of the most fascinating constructions that has been preserved in Caracol is Caanaa majestic royal palace and ceremonies center raised around 600 or 700 AD (during the period Late classic of the Mayan civilization) and that reaches 43.5 meters high, which led its discoverers to give it the name with which we know it now: Caana, which means “place of the sky” in Maya. Ancient city, new surprises. Although the researchers have been studying the snail site for decades, they had not yet found one of their greatest treasures. At least until now. The couple of archaeologists formed by Diane and Arlen Chase, of the UH, has just discovered A surprising finding Under the canopy of an acropolis located to the right of the Palacio de Cana: a tomb of ago 1,700 years. A real grave, to be more precise. And not anyone. His dweller is You k´ab chaakwho amounted to the throne towards The 331 AD His figure is crucial in the history of Caracol for several reasons. He is considered the first ruler of the city and founded a real dynasty that would last 460 years. “We knew we had something”. A few days ago Arlen Chase He reported to The New York Times (Tnyt) The exact moment of the finding and how the archaeologists intuited that they had found something great just to take a look at the grave, the color of the cinnabar, its ceramics and the mask located on the side. “As soon as we saw the camera we knew we had something,” recalls Arlenwho still remembers what his first impression was: “My God, this is much more important than he believed.” Logical. A Te K´ab Chaak had buried him at the foot of a real family sanctuary with 11 vessels, carved bone tubes, jewelry made with jadeíta, a funeral mask made with accounts of the same material and shells of Spondylus (a genus of bivalve) of the Pacific. Among gods. “The vessels. The finding brings new clues about Te K´ab Chaak, who amounted to the throne in the year 331 of our era and whose grave is the first of three important burials dated Maya of the merchants, surrounded by offerings. Four of the vessel rulers of Caracol as part of their names “, Point out The University. Knowing Te K´ab Chaak. The finding provides information about Te K´ab Chaak, who amounted to the throne in 331 AD and whose grave is the first of three burials dated Towards 350 AD The sovereign was the first ruler of the Mayan city and set a real dynasty that would last for four and a half centuries, covering much of its history. The UH remember that the metropolis played a relevant role in Mayan history and dominated part of the southern Yucatan between 560 and 680 AD ended up abandoned around 900 DC Thanks to the remains located in the grave, the Chase have concluded that at the time of their funeral you k´ab chaak was a sovereign major, who had already lost his teeth and measured around 1.7 meters. “The early classical period is the time when the rulers claim that they supervise everything, completely away from the rest of the population. That changes at the end of the period, especially in Caracol, when after the success of the war against Tikal, they begin to share wealth with the general population. Not this person,” Comment. Does it reveal anything else? Yes. Light. And that is one of the reasons why the finding of the Chase has generated so much expectation. For a start, Remember The researchers, is the first grave of an identifiable ruler after more than 40 years of work in Caracol. It also provides valuable information to better understand its context, the connections of the Mayan world and its contact with Teotihuacánone of Mesoamerica’s greatest archaeological complexes and that in 300 AD had already become a city that marketed with all of Central America. “The Mayan monuments of carved stone, the dates, the iconography and the archaeological data suggest that the generalized Panmeso American connections occurred after an event in the 378 DC called ‘input’”, remember Diane Chase. In Caracol tombs archaeologists have found however artifacts that leads them to look at central Mexico and Teotihuacán. Problem? The burials located in Caracol date from 350 AD, “at least one generation before the recognized theotihuacan presence.” But … What does that mean? “Both central Mexico and the Mayan area knew the ritual practices of the other party, as reflected in the Caracol cremation,” Reflect Arlen Chase. The clues included in the Belize necropolis point out therefore that the first Mayan rulers maintained contacts “at the Mesoamerican level” before even the “entrance” of Teotihuacán that was recorded in their sizes. “The connections between the two regions were … Read more

is to eat more fiber and experts are nothing against

by

For years, the fiber was that forgotten ingredient, relegated to the reverse of cereal boxes and the boring advice of “eats more fruits and vegetables.” No one could imagine that, with the passage of time and thanks to social networks, it would become something Aesthetic, even with its own hashtag: #Fibermaxxing. And best of all: nutritionists not only do not criticize it, but give it the approval with enthusiasm. A unique phenomenon. As is usually the case with viral trends, it all started with short, apparently innocent videos, but caught the attention of thousands (and then millions) of people. In a New York Times report They have explained That the driver of the movement was the creator of Pamela Corral content, known as @impamibaby. In one of his most popular videos, with more than 10 million visualizationsappears showing his favorite breakfast: a chia pudding full of red fruits and seeds. And although the video seems like a Chia ad, the scientific community does not deny it but supports it. Fibermaxxing. The term is not a doctor, but as the dietitian Kara Landau explains In statements to Healthlineit is a practice consisting of consciously and constantly adding more fiber in each meal or snack of the day. That is, it is not about stopping eating something, but about adding more foods rich in fiber to what we already eat. The objectives are several: improve digestion, feed the intestinal microbiota, balance hormones, control appetite and, incidentally, reduce risks of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or even certain types of cancer, According to Women’s Health. There are no miracles here. This new viral trend pushes more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and seeds. As Sara Riehm explains, dietitian from Orlando Health Center for Health Improvement, In Women’s Health: “It is a change of mentality that goes from abundance restriction.” Instead of eliminating food, it’s about adding good. Of course, like They have warned Several experts in Healthline, it is essential to increase the fiber little by little and drink enough water to avoid digestive problems such as swelling or gases. However, not everyone can launch at 38 grams daily without consequences: people with irritable intestine syndrome (SII), bacterial overgrowth (Sibo) or inflammatory intestinal diseases should consult a specialist before. One more fashion? Unlike other viral fashions, fibermaxxing has scientific support. As He has collected The Guardian, a study published in 2019 confirmed that a fiber -rich diet can reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases between 16% and 24%. In addition, adding only 7 grams a day (for example, half a boat of beans) can already make a difference. Even from clinical medicine, such as points Dr. Mir Ali in Women’s Health, it is recognized that the fiber “helps maintain a healthy intestinal flora, regulates metabolism and controls hormonal levels.” The attractiveness of fibermaxxing is that it is not part of the obsession with weight loss or aesthetics, but of digestive and metabolic well -being. Not every fiber is the same. Fiber is not a single nutrient, but a set. There are two key types: the soluble, which forms a kind of gel in the digestive system and contributes to the control of cholesterol and glucose (present in foods such as oats or banana), and insoluble, which adds volume to feces and favors a regular intestinal transit. The latter abounds in vegetables such as broccoli, nuts or whole wheat flours. As They have detailed In May Clinic, the important thing is not only the amount of grams, but the diversity of sources. The more variety of vegetables, fruits, legumes and cereals we consume, the better our intestinal microbiota will feed. An isolated fashion? Not quite. In recent months we have seen other nutritional microtende that are also born in social networks and end up awakening the interest of science. This is the case of strange cult of resistant starcha practice that consists of cooling foods such as rice or cooked potatoes to change its molecular structure and reduce its glycemic impact. It has also sneaked into the supermarket shelves The so -called clear protein: drinks that look like flavored water, drink like a soda and provide proteins like a shake. Light, instagrammeable and functional, is the new object of desire for those who seek more than a simple snack between meals. A commitment to digestive health. In short, all trends share something in common: it is no longer just about thinning, but about optimizing health from a functional, shared and, why not, visually appealing. Networks not only dictate what we eat: they are redefining the concept of well -being. Image | Unspash Xataka | “Men have a hard time asking for help because they feel that makes them weak.”

There are experts who believe we are showering badly after exercising

by

As if it were all part of the same rite, the shower forms almost an indivisible part of our sports routineswe are already exercising for health, for work or for hobby. Practice can approach perfectly in our training but there are those who believe the same does not happen with showers. In other words: there are experts who believe we are showering badly. The shower after sport is more than a matter of hygiene. A study published in 2019for example, found that the shower after exercise can help us recover thermal comfort, something if it is more important now that we are in summer and this may require more time. Another study carried out a few years ago in the United Kingdom found a curious correlation between the habit of showering after exercise and the physical activity levels of British schoolchildren. So what could we be doing wrong? The key to this supposed error in time. Generally, after exercising we will go almost direct to the showerafter a few minutes we will have dedicated to stretching and “cooling” after exercise. Routines after exercise are important and not only include stretching but also require our body to recover normality in terms of pulse or body temperature. Give time to this process may require postponing the shower At least for a few minutes. In this sense, experts of HealthlineFor example, They stand out The importance of dedicating between five and ten minutes of our physical activity to a relaxed exercise that allows us to reduce our pulsations at the same time that our body is gradually cooling. Once our pulse has been relaxed, it will be time to stretch, another important part of our exercise routine that allows us Avoid injuries And, at the same time, it also requires some dedication time. Once the stretching is finished we can move to the shower, but that takes us to another old dilemma, the temperature. Cold, hot shower Part of the debate about whether it is better to wait a little before taking a shower has to do with thermal contrast when we exercise our body is heated, how our muscles react to thermal contrast. The solution to the problem might seem evident (shower with hot water), but as usual, reality is a bit more complex: we know for several studies that cold water showers after exercise can also have benefits for our health. An example is The study Posted in 2019 in Journal of strength and conditioning research. The analysis responsible for the analysis indicated that cold water showers could promote the feeling of Thermal comfort When doing precisely our pulsations accelerate a time of exercise. In certain warm contexts, this could reduce heart stress after exercise. The recovery period after exercise is fundamental and perhaps we are not paying as much attention as we should. Several scientific teams have tried to find out which are the best routines and habits, not only at the time immediately after exercise but also during the extensive period between one training and another. Recovering our temperature, our pulsations and our resting muscle activity is important, but it is also to hydrate to recover lost water and sleep properly. The “recovery science”It is an incipient subdiscipline that has evolved substantially in recent years but must still accumulate a better understanding of its object of study, indicated the expert in biomedicine and physiology Jonathan M.

Stellantis wanted to conquer China with his combustion cars. What has happened to almost any other western company has happened

by

The Changsha court has finally declared bankruptcy The Gac-Fiat Chrysler Automobiles joint company, thus closing the final chapter of Stellantis in the Asian giant. The news was already expected since 2022 when the group came into liquidation. After debts equivalent to more than 1.1 billion dollars and five failed public auctions, the dream of conquering the largest world car market ends in failure. The end of a 15 -year adventure. The Joint Venture GAC-FCA was born in 2011 With huge ambitions: 17,000 million investment yuan, two production and capacity plants for 300,000 vehicles per year. Under the baton of Sergio Marchionne, the project intended to bring brands such as Jeep and Fiat to the Chinese market with models adapted to local needs and trends, including the Jeep Renegade, Compass and Cherokee, in addition to the Fiat Viaggio and Ottimo. Free fall after initial success. After reaching its peak in 2017 With more than 200,000 units soldGac-FCA experienced an unstoppable descent. Sales collapsed to 124,780 units in 2018, continued to fall in 2019 and reduced just 20,396 units in 2021. Insufficient numbers for a market of more than 25 million vehicles per year and a muscle like Gac-FCA. The problem of combustion engines in China. While the Chinese market turned to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, Gac-FCA remained faithful to combustion engines. This strategy is over resulting fatal In a country where new technologies and electrification have become the norm. And it is that Chinese consumers have been opting for the electricity in an environment of high competitiveness between automobile manufacturers. The failed attempt to save yourself. In 2022, Carlos Tavares tried to recover control increasing Stellantis’s participation From 50% to 75%, but GAC publicly rejected the maneuver. The joint company entered into a restructuring process and, subsequently, in liquidation. Five public auctions to sell land, equipment and the two factories were deserted, something common in China where it is more profitable to build from zero electric vehicles. Historical symbolism. Stellantis withdrawal marks the end of a historic era. Jeep was the first foreign brand to make cars in China when AMC invested 16 million dollars in 1983 To produce the Cherokee XJ. Peugeot contributed in the mid -80s to the creation of GAC as a car manufacturer, transforming what was a bus repair workshop into a company produced by Peugeot 505. Citroën arrived in 1992 and came to manufacture 719,000 cars in 2015. Another western company in China Fallida. Stellantis’s case is not isolated. Is Another great western company that perishes in China Given the high competition, aggressive and regulatory costs of the country. It is the example that you don’t care who you are. Even Stellantis, the world’s largest car group (in terms of volume of brands and models), which began as a Peugeot partner and now has a full range of electric vehicles of its own creation, has not even been able to adapt to the Chinese market. The new strategy: ally with China. Paradoxically, after leaving China as a manufacturer, Stellantis returned as a investor. Carlos Tavares bought in 2023 21% of Leapmotora Chinese company of electric vehicles, with the intention of sell these cars in Europe “With a great margin of benefits.” A strategy that reflects the new reality: if you cannot compete with China, join it.

Calls more than 200,000 cars that use its substitute engine, according to L’Am automobile

by

Stellantis’s image crisis following its Puretech engines does not seem to have finished. Throughout the year 2024 and part of 2025, the company has tried to put patches to the wound of millions of cars sold for a decade with factory defects on their engines. The conglomerate has had to face a call to review Hundreds of thousands of vehicles that mounted the Different versions of trichylindrical engines 1.0 and 1.2 PURETECH (and its Turbo modifications before and after Euro 6.2) from June 2012 to February 2023. Those call call campaigns or Expanded guarantees They have remained for cars that suffered Failures after 2022with the aim of improving the brand image and preventing possible collective demands related to a bad design of their vehicles. The problem was that there was a rapid degradation of the oil that bathes the distribution strap, especially among those that circulate in urban areas. In the affected engines, fuel drops without burn could slip by the walls of the cylinders and burn in the crankcase with the oil. That abrasive mixture caused the Premature wear of the belt. The detached particles could obstruct the filters in the lubrication filter, causing insufficiency in oil pressure, an unusual consumption of it and, finally, a serious breakdown due to lack of lubrication. Ghosts come back These problems were supposed, had been solved with a modification on the belt that was now wider for those cars that were called to review and had been affected by the problem and with the replacement of the belt with a distribution chain in the new engines, now called Gen 3. However, our French companions of L’Automobile They point out that Stellantis has already called more than 200,000 cars to review in France that assemble the engine that replaces the ill -fated Puretech. The affected cars are almost all Peugeot units that mount the new 1.2 tricylindrical engine made between 2023 and 2025, either in their gasoline or hybrid versions and develop between 100 and 145 hp. The French brand accumulates 149,157 units of call calls. Despite this, Citroën with almost 55,000 units would also be one of the great affected. Likewise, these engines are mounted in Opel (more than 15,000 units called to review), Fiat, DS, Jeep, Alfa Romeo and Lancia. In Xataka We have tried to contact Stellantis to know the scope of this call to review and know if there are cars affected in Spain but We have not obtained an answer. What we have been informed by some affected brands is that it is “a preventive measure.” We are waiting to know what measures will be taken in our country.

“It is less and less necessary to have a doctorate at AI”

by

OpenAI, the company Behind Chatgptit is one of the pioneers in the development of AI. That could lead us to think that their ranks are (or they foundrather) the biggest Eminences in Ia of the planet. As revealed by the company’s highest, soft skills such as attitude, Curiosity and initiative weigh more than a doctorate when selecting New talents to work in OpenAI. In a recent episode of ‘Chatgpt Inside ‘, Official OpenAI PóstCcast, Nick Turleyhead of chatgpt, and Mark ChenChief of Research, have shared what are the skills and attitudes that really value in candidates. Your statements make it clear that Openai Prioritize the ability to learn above university titles. Curiosity as a main engine Nick Turley has been blunt to explain what he is looking for in future OpenAi employees: “The most important quality I am looking for is not technical skill, but curiosity.” According to the manager, this feature is essential to develop in an environment in whichEverything is about to do And where “there are so many things we don’t know.” Turley advises students to focus on developing their curiosity to adapt to a constant change. The head of Chatgpt coincides in that sense with his boss, Sam Altman, who also bet on talent he knew make the right questions. “I think that curiosity has been the main thing I have searched, and in fact it is my advice to students when they ask me: what do I do in this world where everything is changing? There is much we do not know (about AI), so you have to have some humility when developing this technology, because you don’t know what is valuable,” said the manager, “the true bottleneck is to ask the right questions, not necessarily get the answer,” Adapt and continue learning Mark Chen, Head of Investigation of Openai, added that, in his opinion, academic training It is not everything. “I arrived at the company as a fellow without much training in AI.” Even in research, which is those who dedicate ourselves, I think it is less and less necessary to have a doctorate in AI. I think this is a field that people can dominate quite quickly. “ For Chen, the essential thing is that candidates Have initiativethat is, the natural ability to identify and solve problems independently. “It’s really about being motivated to investigate: ‘Hey, here is a problem. No one else is solving it. I’m going to immerse myself and solve it,” explained Openai’s head of research. “This proactive and resolutive attitude is what differentiates employees who succeed in OpenAi.” Such and As I remembered Business Insider, Peter Dengformer vice president of OpenAi consumption products, I already explained that approach in an interview in the Lenny Rachitsky Podcast. “If in six months I continue telling you to do it, I have hired the wrong person,” since in Openai they expect them to be the researchers who advance for themselves in their own experiments and discoveries, not that they limit themselves to follow the instructions of a superior. As Openai responsible recognized, those skills and self -responsibility They do not give it the university titles or the awards in artificial intelligence competitions. The company is looking for people who are capable of Learn quicklyadapt to changes and provide new ideas that, perhaps, ends up becoming the next Chatgpt novelty.
