Some researchers have created a pill that mimics the effects of the lack of oxygen. They have a good reason

by

Height evil is one of the problems that professional mountaineers and occasional visitors who decide to ascend to certain altitudes must face. This disorder is related to the lack of oxygen, hypoxia, which occurs in these environments, but now a pharmaceutical company wants to turn it around. Turn that “evil” into a “good.” Hypoxystat. Transform the mountain air, or rather, the absence of air of the mountain, into a pill It is the proposal of the Gladstone Institute and Maze Therapeutics laboratories. The new drug has received the name Hypoxystat and its goal is to fight against metabolic disorders such as Leigh Syndrome. Mountain air. It might seem crazy idea, but reducing the amount of oxygen that enters our body can make sense in certain senses beyond high performance sport. Living in a mountainous area can benefit people with Leight syndrome, a mitochondrial disease that affects childhood. This disorder occurs when the mitochondria, the organelle in charge of feeding the rest of the cell is not able to consume all the oxygen it receives. This leads to a dangerous accumulation of oxygen that ends with cells and tissues and, ultimately, with the patient’s life. “It is not practical for each patient with this disease to move to the mountains,” Explain in a press release Isha Jain, who has led the recent study of the drug. “But this drug could be a controlled and safe way to apply the same benefits to patients.” 2016. Almost a decade ago, a team, in which Jain herself participated, discovered that mice with this syndrome responded well when they were exposed to air with a lower amount of oxygen, the equivalent of that which can be found at heights of 4,500 meters (a upper altitude in almost a kilometer to the Teide peak). The lack of oxygen caused it to stop accumulating in the cells. The new compound could achieve a similar effect in a different way: focusing on hemoglobin, the molecule that transports oxygen in our blood. The new compound causes oxygen to be linked more easily to hemoglobin which may sound contraintuitive, they explain. However, this fact also makes it difficult for the molecule to deliver oxygen to the cells of our body. Concept test. The new drug has been developed Maze Therapeutics to fight anemia. The Gladstone Institute team, from the University of California San Francisco, found the substance when looking for a compound capable of reinforcing the bond between hemoglobin and oxygen. As a treatment, Hypoxystat is still in early development, but has already begun to succeed in mice. The details of these tests have been published recently in an article in the magazine Cell. Promising results. Although for now the studies are limited to rodents, they invite cautious optimism. The team observed, for example, that the compound had therapeutic capacity both in cases where it was administered before the appearance of symptoms and in cases where mice were already in advanced stages of the disease.

The next generative AI revolution will not reason better, but integrate into physical robots. And will change robotics forever

by

In the technological world we are fascinated with chatbots who write essays and take their time reasoning. Grok 3 goes, Claude 3.7 It comes, meanwhile, something less visible but deeper is happening: The beginning of the merger between conversational and mechanical bodies. For the first time, robots not only execute preprogrammed instructions. Now also, in their own way, they understand. Historically, robotics and AI have followed separate paths. Parallel, but separate. Industrial robots were as accurate as stupid. AI systems are intelligent, but incorporeal. Let’s think about robotic arms that have existed on assembly lines for decades. Millimetrically exact, but absolutely lost If a single component appeared in a position slightly different from that expected. The new generation of robots connected to LLMS You can now interpret ambiguous instructions, such as “bring me something for thirst”, and solve the problem through reasoning (word of the year), evaluating which drinks are available, if the user showed preference for some and even if there is ice in the freezer. We no longer program specific movements, but rather general objectives. Figure robots are good examples. So good that even They work autonomously at a BMW factory. According to The company has just publishedthey can even receive generic verbal instructions, such as collecting pieces, and without the need for previous specific programming are able to visually analyze the environment and detect them. They can even pause, reassess the situation and correct the error if someone modifies the pieces. This contextual adaptation capacity was unthinkable a couple of years ago. The really groundbreaking of this impaired in robots is that You can learn very differently. The LLMS trained with text lack the physical understanding of the world. Traditional robots lack contextual intuition. By merging them an intelligence that includes both semantics and physics. A robot equipped with LLMS is not only able to understand the instruction “opens that box without damaging its content”, but can improvise before boxes never seen, evaluating materials, closures and fragilities. The revolution, unfortunately, will not be spectacular as in The novelty-fictionbut it will arrive in the form of robotic arms in factories that can be reconfigured with a verbal order. Or warehouse robots that will understand contextual priorities. Or medical assistants capable of interpreting non -verbalized needs of their patients. Boston Dynamics, the Non-Va-Más de la Robotica during this last decade thanks to your robots jumping and doing Parkourshe is no longer as interested in acrobatics as in integrating understanding systems that allow her machines Understand complex instructions in construction and industry environments. You just have to see Your website. And on the horizon look The Tesla optimus or the Cyberone de Xiaomi. Or unitree like One of the great Chinese technological bets. The big change will come When these systems stop failing before the unforeseen and begin to apply general principles of physical and contextual reasoning. We are not seeing the birth of artificial consciousness, but the understanding of the physical world and the world of meaning in a single integrated system. What this powerful convergence does is its silent nature. He catches us arguing On whether Grok 3 deserves a better product or about itself Chatgpt 4.5 It will be sufficient during the remaining of the year, but Robots are beginning to understand the world like us. Not only by calculating a trajectory, but understanding intentions, contexts and meanings. That is much more transformative and valuable than Any ten -page trial generated in seven minutes.

More 41 -year -old mothers babies are born than 25

by

The demographic engine of Spain It is gripped. Although we walk towards the record of inhabitants, overcoming the 49 millionthe rise is more explained by immigration than by birth. The tables Of births and vegetative balance they reveal that the winds of demographic winter continue to hit the demography. They reflect it The data launched by the INE, which among other keys leave an interesting idea: in our country more mothers’ babies are born with 40 or more years than women who do not reach 25. We have fewer and fewer children. And later. Demographic puncture. The photography of the INE is not a fixed image but shows in any clear a clear trend: Spain suffers a demographic puncture. Population increase is supported largely In the increase of people born abroad, not in a good vegetative balance domestic. On the contrary. That indicator, which makes the difference between births and deaths, entered last year in red numbers: it was negative, in -113,256 people, according to The tables. Evolution of the number of births, according to the data collected by the INE. 24% less births. The graphics They are eloquent. And do not invite precisely to optimism. The INE estimates that in 2023 322,075 births were recorded in Spain, a bad fact whether compared to the historical both in the short and long term. With respect to 2022 it is a 2% setback and if you look further back, a decade ago, the fall is even more pronounced, of 24.1%. In 2013 the balance of birth was quite higher than the current one, of just over 424,400. Mothers with more than 40 years. If there is an eloquent fact in The balance It is the one that shows how there are more and more Spanish who decide to be past mothers. Its number has increased so forcefully throughout the last decade that today there are more births between women who have reached quarantine than among those who are not 25 years old. Retail. The tendency they give off is clear: in 2023 34,554 births of women with 40 or more years were registered compared to 30,298 associated with young people of less than 25. 2021 tableswhich allow further to decrease in detail, they reveal that during that year 7,762 lights of 25 -year -old women were scored compared to the 8,739 of those of 41. Do not go back far back in time to find a radically opposite panorama. Just a decade ago, in 2013, the number of births between women who had not yet blown the 25 candles was 40,916, well above 28,976 starring mothers who passed from 40. Today the latter are already responsible for 10, 7% of births in Spain. Births by mother’s age 2013 2023 Total 424,440 (100%) 322,075 (100%) Less than 25 years 40,916 (9.6%) 30,298 (9.4%) 25 to 39 years 354,548 (83.5%) 257,224 (79.9%) 40 and more years 28,976 (6.8%) 34,554 (10.7%) And mothers with fewer children. Another equally relevant phenomenon is that Spanish have less and less children. In 2022 women resident in Spain had on average 1.16 offspringnothing to do with 2.77 that were reached in the mid -1970s. The average age to which the Spanish became a mother was located two years ago in 33.1. Both data, together with the delivery of older ages, basically respond to the same causes: social, cultural and economic changes. Deepening the keys. In the cocktail, cultural issues and a change of mentality and labor and vital perspectives are mixed. Also instability, which explains to a large extent that the age at which the young Spaniards have increased has increased until they are in 30.3 years on averagethe greatest of the last two decades. With that backdrop, Albert Esteve, director of the Center for Demographic Studies and Professor of Sociology, is clear why the age at which children are postponed is postponed. “It comes because of the need that people have to form, to insert themselves into the labor market, to form a couple, to have a stable life,” points to The country. The risk: to delve into a demographic winter that already punishes other nations, Like Japan.

Indonesia will finally raise the veto of the iPhone 16, according to Bloomberg. The key is in a millionaire investment of Apple

by

At the end of last year, Indonesia prohibited sale of the iPhone 16. The surprising measure did not go unnoticed, but what really caught attention was the reason: Apple had not invested enough in the country. Google either had better luck. Shortly after, The authorities vetoed the marketing of the Pixelalthough they never officially sold in Indonesia. Now, everything indicates that the situation is about to take a turn. The return of the sale of the iPhone seems imminent Bloomberg points out that Apple and the Indonesian Ministry of Industry They reached an agreement to lift the smartphone prohibition. The sources indicate that the movement should be formalized this week. The Indonesian government plans to hold a press conference to publicize the details of the commitment. However, the American media points out that Apple’s investment has played a leading role. The firm led by Tim Cook would have committed to invest no less than 1,000 million dollars in Indonesiaa figure ten times higher than the one previously destined for the creation of several Apple Developer Academy. And what will that money be invested? As explained, Apple will allocate it to the construction of an AirTags production plant in collaboration with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., an old Chinese partner of the Cupertino company. Another part of the investment will be directed to a New factory in Bandunga city southeast of Yakarta, which will focus on the production of other accessories. In addition, Apple will continue to finance its programming academies in the country. The prohibition of the iPhone 16 that is now about to disappear has been supported by a regulation that establishes that certain products must have a national component level certificate (TKDN) The TKDN is an index of the percentage of national components used in production. Apple and Google mobile devices They must reach 40% In the mentioned metric, but there are many ways to meet this requirement. Companies that do not manufacture their products in Indonesia usually resort to agreements with local suppliers at some point in their supply chain. Other strategies, such as hiring local labor and investments, also contribute. And if you wonder why Apple is so determined to overcome this prohibition, the answer is simple: it is about The greatest economy of Southeast Asia and The fourth most populous nation in the world . That is, of a large market. Images | Trac vu | Apple In Xataka | Proudly American: Apple will invest more money than ever in the United States in full tariff threat

A Catalan tells his most northern city experience in the world

by

He Svalbard archipelago It is the most northern place in Europe. It is a huge ice cream far away above the Arctic Circle where about 2,500 people They are officially forbidden to die. There, right there, there is a Catalan. A Catalan? Indeed. Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès 29 years ago, Nil Rodés It has become the head engine of the Department of Geology of the University Center of the Svalbard Islands. And just being Interviewed in Via Lliure de Rac1 where it gives details about how it is to live very (but very) to the north of the polar circle. “A few months ago it is night,” Rodés said. “Between eleven and one, we now have a blue light (like the end of the day) and, for the month of March, there will be a sun.” It does not carry it very well and, in fact, the Catalan engineer takes advantage of the months of greater darkness to go outside the island. Of course, the doubt of whether “is something related to the Mediterranean blood” always because, in the five years he has been living in the north, he has met many people who worship the darkness “deep of the Arctic Night. An island without indigenous … There are no native peoples of the islands because it is too north. And the first stable inhabitants arrived with the mining companies that began to exploit the coal of the islands at the end of the 19th and early twentieth. Before that, there were only small fishermen bases that were used sporadically. The truth is that, anyway, there are not many natives in strict sense. It is prohibited to be born in the islands. When an advanced stage of pregnancy is reached, mothers have to go to Norway to give birth safely. In the same way, It is forbidden to die (and be buried) on the island. Except for cases of accidental deaths, no one dies there. … but with many bears. There are about 3,000 bears in the region compared to 2,500 people. 300 of those animals live on the main island (and that means that whenever you leave the settlement you have to be armed with rifles or guns of Bengal). In fact, there is a traffic signal in which the area is indicated in from which the safety of individuals depends on them same. And what does a “chief engineer” do on such an island? A good part of the activity of the islands has to see with education and research of all kinds (from questions related to climate or geology to studies on fauna and conservation of ecosystems). Do not forget that The “end of the end of the world” is right there. Rodés’s work has to do with the logistics and safety of all projects linked to geological research. As I say, the villages themselves are safe areas, but beyond those limits any unforeseen can be critical. To the limit of the impossible. According to Rodésthe site must really be overwhelming. A place where in winter it is not clear what is land and what is sea ice (beyond the “llaneza” of the land can give you important clues); and in which, for six months, they can only move with snow motorcycles. In recent years, the Svalbard Islands have only jumped to the media for the problems that the Ukraine War (and the associated sanctions)) created in the relationship between the capital of the islands (Longyearbyen) and a small Russian settlement (Barentsburg) at 50 kilometers. For the rest, it is a small haven of peace in Miad in one of the areas that more is changing due to climate change.

It is considered one of the best video game adaptations to the cinema ever made and has just arrived at Netflix

by

Almost twenty years have passed since its premiere, but it is undeniable that the overcrowding visual force of ‘Silent Hill‘, that He has just arrived in Netflixremains intact. In the last two decades, the special effects have evolved in very different directions, but the incredible makeup of this Christophe Gans movie and its clear and open intention to make a faithful and respectful version of Konami’s original video game has gained Many of his fans. And that, as they say, ‘Silent Hill’ is maladaptable: the unforgettable experience of the first video games exists because it lives in the first person, and that makes that The cryptic argument and the atmosphere built with fog and sirens sounding in the distance Be sufficient to raise panic. But Gans has the need to convert that sensory experience into a film with conventional argument, and that sometimes makes decisions that move away ‘Silent Hill’ from an absolutely literal adaptation. In spite of everything, it works at a wonders. In this adaptation, a woman lives desperate to find a cure for her daughter’s mysterious disease, and decides to locate Silent Hill, a town that the girl speaks constantly in dreams. But upon arrival, a mysterious figure causes an accident after which, his daughter disappears. Accompanied by a police officer, the two women begin to look for it, and will soon discover that the desert people after a devastating fire hides much more than it seems. ‘Silent Hill’ belongs to a time when cinema began to produce, finally, visually faithful adaptations to the video games that inspired them. Far away were the times of the hilarious ones (but far from the originals) ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Street Fighter’, and Hollywood began to pay attention to the digital medium with films such as this or the success ‘Tomb Raider’. We would still have to suffer horrendous productions such as the bulk of UWE Boll’s films, also of this era, but ‘Silent Hill’ stands out among the rest for understanding and adapting, even with its problems, Konami’s original game with a remarkable dignity.

Framework laptop 13 and laptop 12, features, price and technical file

by

Almost five years have passed since we met the first Framework laptop. This team represented a turning point in an industry that, progressively, has been limited the capacity of users to perform repairs and updates. Since then, the American company has continued innovating with new products, such as Laptop 16 Framework and several versions of the Laptop 13 framework. Now his commitment to modularity takes another step with the renewed framework laptop 13 and the new laptop framework 12. Framework laptop 13, more power with AMD heart The Laptop 13 Framework is updated with the new AMD Ryzen AI chips from the 300 series. The base version incorporates a Ryzen AI 5 340, with six nuclei and a four -core RADEON 840m GPU. For those who seek more power, there is an option with the Ryzen AI 7 350, which rises to eight nuclei and a Radeon 860m graph, also with eight nuclei. At the top of the range is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which raises the bet with 12 CPU nuclei and a Radoeon 890m 16 -core GPU. In all models, the NPU reaches 50 tops. But the firm not only bets on power. The company has improved the thermal system with new algorithms and optimized materials. It has also renewed the keyboard, which maintains a 1.5 mm route, but now it is quieter. As for the screen, we can choose between a 1.5K panel with 400 nits and 60 Hz, or a more advanced option of 2.8K with 500 nits and 120 Hz. As aesthetic touch, both the bezels of the frame and the expansion cards are now translucent and are available in various colors. In the memory section, Framework allows us to configure this model with up to 8 TB of storage available through a SSD WD Black NVME unit. If we focus on RAM, the limit is 96 GB DDR5-5600. In either case we can use storage units or compatible memory cards previously acquired or acquired separately. Recall that, precisely, one of the main characteristics of this type of modularity and repair equipment. Framework laptop 12, smaller and with a touch screen This Tuesday’s event has also left us another interesting future launch: the laptop framework 12, An input convertible with touch screen of 1920×1200 pixels, 400 shine nits and support for Stylus. This model stands out for its flexible design and will allow configurations with Intel Core I3 or I5 processors of 13th generation (presented in 2023), up to 48 GB of RAM and 2 TB of NVME storage. There are no lack of Wi-Fi 6E and expansion options, with four expansion card slots. Price and availability of the new Laptop 13 and Framework laptop 12 Framework 12 The new Laptop 13 framework is already available for reservation on the manufacturer’s website, with prices from 1,089 euros for the DIY Edition version and 1,309 euros for the pre -assembly model. Shipments will begin in April. For its part, the Laptop 12 framework may be reserved as of April, but its price has not yet been revealed. Deliveries are scheduled for the middle of this year. Currently, the Framework online store has a waiting list due to high demand, according to the company. Images | Framework In Xataka | Some GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards are missing rop units.

There are too many AI models. That raises a true death sentence for Anthropic and Claude

by

We have AI models to bore. And the problem is that everyone starts looking too close and deciding which one is better not simple. All companies and startups strive to be referents in an absolutely unleashed market. One that as in other technological wars probably ends some winners and enough losers. And there are those who compete with clear disadvantages. Another colossal investment round. In The Wall Street Journal indicate That Anthropic is about to close a new financing round that would allow him to lift 3.5 billion dollars. That would make the company’s assessment amount to 61.5 billion dollars, and the question is whether the company really has options in such a competitive market. “This is not a real company”. According to analyst Ed Zitron, Claude has Two million active monthly users in January 2025. It also talks about how according to the WSJ projected revenues for 2025 (based on current contracts) is 1.2 billion dollars, a very modest figure. “They also lost 5.6 billion dollars last year,” Sign it. According to his opinion, Anthropic “is not a real company, they could not survive without the beneficence of risk capital.” Fierce competition. The truth is that Anthropic is facing exceptional competition in which the large heavyweights of the Tech industry are both in the US and in China. Deepseek surprised all of them with the launch of Deepseek V3 and after Deepseek R1, and that seems to have encouraged investors to bet even more money through all these companies. OpenAI is still a reference. At least, it is in number of users. According to CNBC They already have 400 million of active users every week, an exceptional figure that clearly puts them at the head of the popularity ranking in this segment. As with Claude, Openai is burning money that he does not have and that they obtain from extraordinary financing rounds, but unlike this, we insist, the popularity of Chatgpt is evident. And the big ones have what matters now: money. For many users IA is chatgpt, and giants such as Google with Gemini, Microsoft with Copilot or Meta with flame are still far from achieving that acceptance. They have something that Anthropic (or perplexity) does not have: many, many funds – Grok 3, from Xai is another example – and can be maintained in this race even if that is costing them a lot of money. The prize is too fat not to chase him. There are too many models, some can stay on the road. In all technological wars there have been winners and losers. It is the same as what this battle for AI points, in which there are too many competitors and that it probably ends up causing some of these efforts to not survive. Here Anthropic is one of those at a disadvantage. The AI ​​winner can be a company still unknown. Openai, Google, Apple or Microsoft may be especially well positioned to win that race, but it does not have to be so. As they recently indicated In axiosnew company can arise, still unknown, that end up doing something differential and what none of the greats had thought. It is not easy, but of course it is not impossible. Remembering Netscape. In the second half of the 9th Internet began to show their potential, but the great A small company called Netscape He managed to become a reference in the world of browsers. Then it would end up being the great loser of that war, but it was the demonstration that having more money and resources does not always have to have all the options. And that’s why so much investment in startups. That possibility that the one that wins the race will be an unknown company is precisely the one that makes risk capital companies investing a lot of money in projects that may not get absolutely at all. It has recently occurred with Thinking Machines Labthe Startup of Mira Murati, or with Safe Superintelligencethat of Ilya Sutskever. None of them have a product to show, but still have already received spectacular investments. And be careful, there is also China. Of course there are formidable rivals that are not in the US. Mistral is a reference in Europe, while In China another particular war is being fought which has made today the models of the AI ​​of Chinese companies are so good (or sometimes, better) than those of the US. The winner of this battle could also come from that country. Or any other, of course. Image | Saradash Pradhan In Xataka | China has an ambitious plan to overcome the West in Technology.

Finishing in space was your natural conclusion

by

Jesús Calleja is, surely, one of the most famous adventurers in Spain. Or at least one of the most media. Now he faces the one who is possibly the greatest challenge of his life: externala trip that makes with the company Blue Originaboard the New Shepard spacecraft. As has been repeated on countless occasions, it becomes thus THE THIRD SPANISH IN HISTORY in traveling to space after Miguel López-Elegría and Pedro Duque, so that he can add a more milestone to their long recourse and superhuman goals. As a child, mountaineer. Calleja’s first vocation was Montañero, in love with the stories that his father read him About expeditions to Everest or Antarctica. After heating at the Naranjo de Bulnes, he visited the Himalaya with 21 years, where – as later in the Alps – he became a guide. He has come to travel more than 60 times to Nepal, and everything he won as a guide invested in other aspects of his adventurous life, such as learning to pilot planes. With 37 years he left his work as a hairdresser to devote himself to the mountain. To climb. In this period, at the beginning of the century, he climbed his first eight -meter peak (there is only fourteen on the planet, all in the Himalayas and Karakórum mountain ranges), the choc oyu. Already then had a certain media profile: he crowned a virgin mountain of 6000 meters in the Indian Tibet, baptized it ‘Madrid for Peace’ in tribute to the victims of 11-M and broadcast it in real time by its website. In 2005, with the sponsorship of several official agencies, He went up to Everestbecoming the first Spaniard to achieve it by the southern face. More media turns. Descending from Everest he had an idea: chaining adventures could also chain sponsorships, and thus set up a project in which he would climb the Seven summits (The highest of each continent), crown some eight thousand more, go to the north pole and participate in two rallies: that of the pharaohs and the Paris-Dakar. All in two years and recording it with its own camera. In 2007 (remember, only two years after climbing Everest and becoming a celebrity of the world of adventure in Spain), four bought it ‘Extreme challenge‘, program that would enjoy seven seasons, and starting a relationship between adventurer and channel that lasts until today. Many more adventures. Pure mountaineering simply became an ingredient more of its many expeditions. In 2009 he traveled to Iceland to visit the three most active volcanoes of the place (And Eyjafjalajökull erupted when they were there), he finally participated in the Dakar, practiced in depth, immersed himself in glacial waters in areas with sharks (many of these practices with the diving instructor María March) … his fame On television it was increasingly remarkable and challenged ‘Challenge in Himalaya’, ‘Vertical Challenge’, ‘Evrest Challenge, and’ Challenge to the abyss’, in format reality and with anonymous adventurers. The stardom of adventure. The turn to what we could call the mainstream of the adventure was given in the period that began in 2014 with ‘Calleja Planet‘, where he undertakes adventure challenges accompanied by celebrities of all kinds, such as José Mota, Pedro Sánchez, Edurne, Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth and many others, until reaching the 12 seasons they currently carry. Next to this he has shot the quietest ‘flying I go’, where he claims rural spaces of the Emptied Spain. And finally, to space. Jesús Calleja becomes the first non -astronaut Spaniard (that is, a Space tourist) in going to space, in a project that has included a Documentary series about its preparation (issued by Prime Video), and in which Mediaset, Amazon and Zanskar, the Calleja producer themselves. The whole process has been well registeredbut perhaps one of the most relevant aspects of this new adventure, which is now coming out as planned, is in the media relevance that Calleja now acquires. The common astronaut. The image that is projecting is exactly the real one: an common person who, thanks to The tourist touristificationmanage to travel to space. But beyond what that means for the aerospace sector, it is also the culmination of a certain line of the Calleja race, which from the internet broadcast of its first adventure was spectacularizing the risk and, thanks to its accessible and tremendously Sympathetic for the average television spectator, everyday life adventure. Before the influencers, Calleja was. Jesús Calleja began late his life as a serious adventurer, with no less than 37 years. Even so, your spirit can be fully identified with that of the current Influencers of adventure: people who like to expose themselves to risks and challenges as varied as possible so as not to bore their audience, and with projects completely mediated by the possibility of making them public: if they cannot film them, they do not exist. From that point of view, the next logical step was to travel to space, but it is an adventure that they could not face Influencers Younger and famous, so for the moment, television, its massive and deep impact of their pockets win the battle.
