The most experienced developers hoped to improve their productivity with AI. A study showed just the opposite

What happens when you give an advanced artificial intelligence platform to a group of expert developers and ask them to work on tasks that they know in detail? The logical thing would be to wait a productivity jump, a great combination between experience human and technological assistance. The tools are there, the flows are learned, the learning curve is not an obstacle. But it was not so. What happened even surprised the authors of the study, according to Reuters: AI did not improve the results. He got them worse. And he did it in such a subtle way that not even the developers themselves realized. The report does not talk about critical failures or serious mistakes, but the effect was clear: the work became slower. Slower than it would have been without artificial intelligence in between. More does not always mean more productivity Before starting, everyone agreed on something: using artificial intelligence was going to save them time. In fact, they estimated that their tasks would finish 24 % faster. It was a reasonable expectation, based on their experience and how these tools were presented. And when they ended, they were still convinced of having achieved it: their estimate was that They had been 20 % faster. In his own words, AI had allowed them to advance without blockages, without interruptions, with a more agile workflow. But not. Actually, they had taken longer. A lot more. The general average of the group was a 19 % increase in total time during the test carried out by Metr. It is not a minor difference. And it is even more striking if one takes into account that we talk about tasks that they themselves had defined as relevant, useful and realistic: bugs correction, new functionalities, refactors. They were not exercises designed to test the AI, but real work, of the one that is done every day in any mature project. The difference was so great that he left even words even to those responsible for the study. The developers were not novice or learning on the fly. They had been working on those same projects for years, They knew the repositories in detailThey knew what was behind each file and each function. They were in their field. And, yet, the tools of AI did not facilitate work. They complicated it. Part of the explanation is how these platforms work. The suggestions they offered were not entirely incorrect, but imprecise. They were often well aimed, but required adjustments. And those adjustments, instead of saving time, elongated it. Check, correct, check. Start over. What promised to be an aid became a more intermediate process: an additional layer between thought and the solution. The feeling of fluidity was misleading. They started with a base, yes, but that base rarely served as is. You had to crumble itunderstand what the model had wanted to say, compare with what already existed and rebuild what is necessary. As if each suggestion came with an invisible asterisk. A non -valid line of default code. The illusion of progress faster was held until the time came to compile, try or make a serious review of the code generated. And yet, many of the participants continue to use those same tools in their day to day. Not because they save them time, but because they do the most bearable job. In the study they mainly used cursor, a platform that integrates advanced language models such as Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnetand that allows writing, completing and reviewing code directly from the development environment. Cursor does not do everything for you, but he accompanies you. That company, even when it is not entirely efficient, can make programming less exhausting. The AI ​​converts the effort to program in something more similar to being an orchestra director that to build everything from scratch with a solid knowledge base. We are already seeing it with the phenomenon Vibe Coding. In the midst of this scenario we have seen companies They cut development equipment for the possibilities offered by AI, although Some have had returned on their steps. AI is a valuable tool, but it doesn’t help everyone equally.

We thought that interstellar travelers were impossible to find current technology. Three have already been discovered

Less than a decade ago, the idea of ​​detecting an object of another solar system through our neighborhood was science fiction material. Astronomers were clear that they existed, but believed that our chances of detecting them They were practically null due to the limitations of current technology. In 2017, everything changed. First appeared 1i/ʻoumuamua. An object that baffled astronomers. Not only because it was the first interstellar object discovered in our solar system, but because its nature was and remains a mystery. With A strange formas elongated as a cigar or flat as an album, and a size of just 100 or 200 meters, it happened fleetingly leaving more questions than answers. Was it a comet, an asteroid or something completely new? The debate continues while moving away from us. Then 2i/Borisov was discovered. When we still wondered if we would see something similar in our lives, the answer came alone. In 2019, astronomers They detected a second object of another star system That was unequivocally a kite, somewhat larger than its predecessor (about 400-500 meters) and with a very different trajectory. Borisov confirmed that ‘Oumuamua had not been an anomaly. Interstellar visitors were real and we are able to find them. And to confirm it, 3I/Atlas arrives. On July 1, 2025, the Telescopes of the Atlas Network in Chile detected the third known interstellar object. After confirming your hyperbolic trajectory, He was officially baptized as 3i/Atlas. It is a real giant compared to the previous two, and marks a before and after in the study of these bodies. Like Borisov, it shows a clear comment activity, with a comma and a tail that lengthens as it approaches the sun. Therefore, it is a kite. But it is much bigger. Although the measurements are refining, initial estimates place their diameter between 5 and 20 kilometers. A colossal size that makes it much easier to study. A giant who will pass through Mars. 3i/Atlas is incredibly fast. It moves at an exhaust speed of about 58-60 km/s with respect to the Sun. much faster than ‘oumuamua (26 km/s) and Borisov (32 km/s). His career is also unique. It will reach its closest point to the Sun (its perihelium) on October 29, passing between the orbits of Mars and the Earth. Although at that time our planet will be on the other side of the sun, which will prevent its direct observation, it will be only 31.4 million kilometers from Mars on October 3. This opens a fascinating opportunity: that some of the probes that orbit the red planet, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, can capture images of the interstellar traveler. Three important findings. Each of these objects is a time capsule from another solar system. All planets, asteroids and comets of our system share a common origin, but these visitors are authentic outsiders. They contain clues about the formation and composition of worlds that orbit other stars. Studying them is like receiving a geological sample from a corner of the galaxy that would take millennia to visit. Until now, we could only observe his fleeting step. But this is about to change. ESA is already preparing THE MISSION INTERPECTORwhose launch is scheduled for 2029. The idea is ingenious: the probe will not have a predefined objective, but will “park” at a point in Lagrange (L2) waiting for a pristine kite of a long period or, with some lucky, a new interstellar visitor to be within its reach. It would be the first rapid response mission to intercept one of these mysterious objects. In less than ten years we have not known if they existed to actively plan how to send a ship to touch them. With new generation observatories such as Vera Rubin, which is expected to find dozens of them in the next decade, we are entering a new era of astronomy. The universe sometimes brings us its secrets at home. Image | The interstellar comet 3i/Atlas (ESA) In Xataka | There is a single opportunity in 11,000 years of reaching the planet Sedna.

There was a day when buying a luxury watch was a very profitable business. The US tariffs are getting it again

The second -hand luxury watch market has lived a roller coaster in recent years. After a record time promoted by New millionaires of cryptocurrencies and of the bag, the bubble of luxury watches exploded. Now, factors such as the rebound of cryptocurrencies and changes in the commercial war initiated by the US are reconfiguring the recovery panorama of this exclusive market. 2020: cryptocurrency boom and stock market. Interest in luxury watches not only reflects a passenger fashion. The nature of luxury watches, considered as much as works of engineering art as An alternative investment form which sometimes exceeds the stock markets in profitability, also responds to global economic movements and the search for shelter assets. During the pandemic and the later years, the rise of cryptocurrencies and the good moment of the bag generated a new wave of millionaires. Many of them, driven by the need to invest their earnings in tangible assets, launched a tropel to buy luxury watches. This trend especially affected brands Like RolexAudemars Piguet or Patek Philippe, whose most coveted models were difficult to get in traditional stores due to their limited production. That dramatically increased demand by exceeding the supply. The result: a bubble that led to the second -hand market of these exclusive watches to shoot reaching Duplicate the price They cost new. The collapse of the bubble. This bubble It soon exploded. When financial markets began to show signs of weakness, many of the investors who had acquired luxury watches They decided to sell themsaturating the second -hand market with the pieces that had bought at a price inflated a few months before. The oversight and the lack of buyers caused the watches that were previously sold for twice their original price now barely had a way out, making prices fall to historical minimum values. Stabilization and recovery factors. At present, although the second -hand luxury watches market still remains at modest levels, begins to show signs of moderate recovery. Such and as they highlight in Bloombergalthough the figures are far from the levels reached after the pandemic, the sector begins to recover, partly driven by the renewed interest of cryptocurrency investors after The rebound that has experienced In recent months. The uncertainty about tariffs To European luxury products imposed by the US, including Swiss watches, may be braking that boom, since they affect both the final prices of sale in store, and the availability of products in key markets such as the American. Tariff impact. After the announcement of the tariffs that the US was going to impose on Europe, American luxury watches suppliers reacted immediately. According to published data By Bloomberg, after the “Day of Liberation”, in which the beginning of the Trump’s commercial warthere was an increase in the purchase volume in the North American market of 150% as anticipation at the entrance of tariffs. A reaction that Not even Apple could avoid. However, the next month, purchases fell 25% because simply, suppliers had already bought everything they could and the tariff sanctions of Trump had not appliedwhich caused the supply of new watches in stores to cover the demand. So second -hand market prices have remained stable. The diversification of luxury. At the same time, the stagnation of Sales of luxury products in Asiaespecially in China, it has made luxury watches manufacturers have more stock for European and North American markets. That also contributes to stabilized second -hand prices because there is not so much pressure on the availability of new stores in store. In addition, the rise of high jewelry for men is also contributing to the recovery of the second -hand market of luxury watches develop without shocks. Until relatively recently, watches were the only remarkable jewel in male fashion. However, in recent years The trend has changed and necklaces, bracelets and other jewels are part of male outfits. Not even Mark Zuckerberg He has been able to resist. In 2023, the volume of that market was 8,500 million dollars, but by 2025 it is estimated that it will grow to 9,410 million dollars, indicating that male jewelry is gaining ground and watches are no longer the only option for high purchasing power investors.

What’s behind the fever to cool food so that it fattens less

Something is changing in the kitchens, and I’m not talking about The arrival of the Cosori. Rather, those small, apparently insignificant decisions, which take shape between common foods. It is no longer enough to choose between integral or white rice, between mother’s bread or industrial slices. Now, the debate moves to temperature: have you cooled rice? Have you saved that pizza to reheat tomorrow? What looks like a more domestic mania is, in fact, part of a silent revolution driven from social networks and backed – at least in part – by science: that of resistant starch. From networks to the large intestine. The story begins in social networks and other corners of the influencer universe. They appear Videos cooling and overheating rice bowls and even ensuring that a pizza involved in the fridge becomes “healthy”. Everything is summarized in a promise: less glucose, less calories, more health. Resistant starch? Let’s enter into matter so that it can be understood well. The starch It is a chain of molecules of glucose that some plants store as a source of energy. There are different ways of organizing those chains, and according to their structure – more or less accessible to our digestive enzymes – the body may digest it or not. When foods rich in starch are cooked (such as pasta, potatoes or rice), heat causes a process called gelatinization: chains are messy and become more digestible. But if they get cooled later, part of those chains are reorganized in a new, more compact and difficult to break for our enzymes. That process is called retrogradation, and the resulting product is resistant starch. This “reborn” starch reaches the large intestine without being absorbed. There it is fermented by the microbiota, producing beneficial compounds such as butyrate, a fundamental fatty acid for intestinal health, According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). Butirate not only feeds the intestine cells, it also protects the mucosa and can help prevent diseases such as colon cancer. Is it really beneficial? Science partially supports enthusiasm. According to Cleveland Clinicresistant starch behaves similar to fiber: it helps maintain intestinal health, improves the composition of the microbiota and helps to regulate blood glucose. You have to differentiate in four types: Type 1: Present in legumes, whole grains and seeds. Its cell structure makes it inaccessible during digestion. Type 2: It is found in raw foods such as green banana or potato without cooking. Type 3: It is the one that forms when cooking and then cooling foods rich in starch (such as rice, pasta, bread or potato). Type 4: It is a chemically modified starch, present in processed products. According to A meta -analysis cited in Scientedirectthese effects are more notable in types 1 and 2 of resistant starch (those present naturally in green legumes and bananas). Type 3, which is formed by cooling cooked foods, also seems to have benefits, although somewhat more modest. It is not the philosopher’s diet. From Cleveland Clinic They have explained That resistant starch acts similarly to the fiber: it improves the microbiota, it can help regulate blood sugar and have positive effects on the immune system. However, There is no solid evidence that alone it helps to lose weight or reduce appetite, although it may have a light satious effect. There may be risks. The part that does not always appear in the networks of networks is that cooling foods such as rice or potato can have microbiological risks if it is not done correctly. Specifically, the Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that survives cooking and produces toxins in food that spend a lot of time at room temperature after being cooked. In a report from El País They have warned that the heating and cooling cycles – just those promoted to generate resistant starch – are perfect for this bacteria to activate. Basic recommendations: Cools food in less than an hour. Store it in the fridge and consume it at 24-48 hours. Reheat only once already high temperature. Never leave it several hours at room temperature. In search of a balance. Is it worth eating more resistant starch? Science says yes, especially when it comes from integral foods, legumes, firm bananas or well -manipulated tubers. It has effects similar to fiber, helps microbiota and can be part of healthy eating. Will you magically convert a pizza into salad? No. like We have explained in this mediumthe real effect on health is minimal if it is not accompanied by a context of healthy habits. The total diet and your lifestyle continue to weigh much more than a cycle of cold and heat on a plate of rice. It may not be a revolution, but a track of where part of the current interest in food moves: look for more fiber, more microbiota, more glycemic control … and less ultrazúcar disguised. The resistant starch, by itself, will not convert ultraprocessed dishes into healthy or to replace a balanced diet, but can add – like so many other small decisions – to a more conscious way to eat.

Sweden is investing millions of euros in a silent war. The enemy to beat: an epidemic of solitude

Sweden has declared a war, one that seems to worry especially to its authorities, which has been speaking for years and in which it is willing to invest millions and millions of euros. The enemy to beat? The loneliness. It makes all the meaning if you take into account that A sensitive part of its inhabitants suffers unwanted isolation, especially between the younger and older layers of society, and there are who considers To Sweden the loneliest country in the world. After all, loneliness is a “Public Health Problem” And something else: complicates the efforts of the authorities for Strengthen your defense civil. The loneliness numbers. It is not the same to live alone than feeling alone. Just as not all societies face loneliness in the same way. Throughout the last years, however, different agencies have published studies that give us an idea of ​​the scope of both phenomena in EU countries, including Sweden, a nation that has declared war to unwanted isolation. In 2017 Eurostat published A study which shows that more than half (52%) of Sweden households are formed by a single person, the highest percentage of all EU countries and significantly above the community average, which is around 33%. If what we are talking about is a population, statista calculates that 26% Of the Swedes live without any company, data that only exceeds Finland (32%). Do you feel alone? The thing changes slightly if we talk about loneliness, unwanted isolation. The percentages can dance based on the source and the approach, but confirm that the sensation is present in Swedish society. CE surveys show that most or all the time feel alone in the country Between 16 and 17% of the people, while The data of 2024 of the public health agency reflect that 13% of the population claims to have that feeling “occasionally” and 6% invades “often or constantly.” “Almost two million Swedes over 16 suffer isolation. 26% of children from 3rd to 6th year say they feel alone in school. One in three young adults experiences loneliness and isolation, as well as 40% of women and almost 30% of men over 85 years old,” needed The Government in 2023. “A health problem”. Sweden is not the only one country that deal with loneliness, but there the data is consistent enough for its government to have declared that involuntary isolation is “A public health problem” And want to stand up. “It is a growing problem and the elderly experience it more frequently,” warns The Minister of Social Security, Anna Tenje. On the table the executive has reports that show that the isolation affects above all to certain groupsas elderly, young people or unemployed people. A fact: 27 million a year. Convinced of the challenge that supposes, in Stockholm they have decided to move from words to the facts. In 2023 the government activated A triennial plan (2023-2025) that is around 300 million of annual Swedish crowns (around 27 million of euros) to support initiatives that “fight and prevent” isolation. In February the Public Health Agency even presented A strategy “Against loneliness and favor of the community.” And what are you doing? Your strategy touches several sticks. The government a few months ago advertisement For example, the distribution of 49 million Swedish crowns (4.4 million euros) between organizations that work precisely to reduce loneliness. It is not the first initiative in that line. Over the last years he has allocated funds to campaigns Health -centered, promote The socialization of the elderly, their stake in sports activities or The study of the phenomenon and its approach from different areas, such as The business either The educational. “Taking care of friends”. For now, Sweden has received recognition from WHO, which He has cited it as an example for initiatives deployed in the country. A few days ago the newspaper I monde He dedicated a report to a specific one: “Vanvard” (“Taking care of friends”), which is taking pharmacies employees to dedicate part of their day to fight loneliness. At the end of 2023 the Ministry of Social Affairs also promoted the creation of A business network With about twenty companies that work with the same purpose: to end marginalization. Defense earrings. I monde Slide Another key idea: loneliness is not only “a public health problem”, it also implies an obstacle in a country that He is strengthening your civil defense system, as well as Other nations Nordic. That effort collides with a complex reality: isolation. More than half Of the Swedes they barely know their neighbors. With that backdrop, last year the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency promoted a campaign with A slogan That speaks for itself: “When we know each other, it is easier to help us.” Images | Magnus Östberg (UNSPLASH), Eurostat and EC In Xataka | Loneliness is already a matter of public health.

Xiaomi was not enough to destroy the reserves of his electric Berlina. Now we know that, too, he is the king of resale

Xiaomi is achieving the unthinkable with his electric car: compete with the main ones with the great manufacturers of the sector with vehicles that have just a year of life. He Su7 razed reservationshe Yu7 He is doing even better and, in case this success in sales was not enough. But the Electric Berlina He is not demonstrating his muscle only in reserves and sales. He is showing it a posteriori. The data. Xiaomi cars preserve almost 90% of their resale value. Next to nothing. According to the last report of China Automobile Dealers Association (each) in which, among others, the resale value of the main electric cars in the market is published after a year, the undisputed leader is the Xiaomi Su7. The company’s electrical bellina retains up to 88.91% in its resale value, followed by the Aito M9 with 84.45% and a Li Mega (Li Auto) that collapses to 79.58%. What about Tesla. The Tesla Model x and Model 3 They occupy the fourth and fifth position, with 77.81% and 76.04%, respectively. The best selling SUV of China does not run the same fate: the Tesla Model and. The Electric de Tesla occupies the 11th position on the list, lowering to 71.28%. Below, Byd and Xpeng models. Because. There are several key points for the Xiaomi Su7 to become an object of worship even after a year of use. Long delivery times and limited calendar Clear attack focus not only for Model 3, but more premium models In just one year, he has managed to offer a feeling of quality and confidence to the Chinese consumer The initial success was such that There were those who were reversing the used car A for Tesla. The Xiaomi Su7 has already achieved Overcome Sales to its main rival: The Tesla Model 3. A first model that reaped successes and opened an even bigger door: that of going to each of the Model and with the Yu7. Data on resale value can further push interest in an Xiaomi that aims to take the market with Your ecosystem productsin which the car plays a central role. It’s just the beginning. Xiaomi’s rivals should not worry only about SU7 and Yu7: the worrying thing is all that is to come.

Bitcoin reaches a historical maximum exceeding $ 118,000. A bullish rally driven by the hug of institutions

Bitcoin has marked A new historical record When reaching 118,661.10 dollars during this Friday. Cryptooptimism continues to rise in a changing political and economic context and with a look always present to Donald Trump’s tariff policy already Recent armed conflicts. However, this time the impulse has been led to Capital entry into quoted funds of Bitcoin and the growing adoption of companies and banks. What has triggered the price. As we have mentioned, the final impulse has come from the Bitcoin (ETF) quoted funds, which they have registered Its largest day of capital tickets of the year with 1,180 million dollars. The ETFs of Ethereum have also shone with 383.1 million dollars in tickets, their second best day since its launch. This massive institutional capital flow has acted as a catalyst for the last bullish wave. Image: Coinmarketcap The political context matters. Policies favorable to cryptocurrencies The Trump administration have created an environment conducive to digital assets. The president has announced plans to establish A Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States, describing it as “a Virtual Fort Knox for digital gold.” This institutional legitimation is forcing other governments and companies to consider Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategies. Mass settlements that accelerate the rise. The rptop up has caused A waterfall of short positions. In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen more than 650 million dollars in bearish settlements, while Ethereum has registered 215 million. THE SAFE REFUGE NARRATIVE. Analysts emphasize that Bitcoin is being perceived more and more An active refuge similar to goldespecially in a context of global commercial tensions and expansive monetary policies. Its offer limited to 21 million units and its recent relative stability in the range of $ 100,000-110,000 have reinforced this comparison. The domino effect on actions. Bitcoin’s climb It has dragged up the linked companies to the sector. Miners such as Mara Holdings and Riot Platforms have won 3% each in operations prior to market opening, while Microstrategy, known for their strategy of accumulating Bitcoin in their coffers, has also risen 3%. Trading platforms such as Coinbase have also registered similar advances. The risks are still there. Not all analysts share widespread optimism. Some experts warn that the current price could be artificially inflated For political support and maintain that Bitcoin remains fundamentally a speculative asset. After 16 years since their creation, they argue, still He has not managed to become a common means of payment As I initially promised. What do experts expect. A recent survey among cryptocurrency analysts places Bitcoin’s average objective price In 145,167 dollars By the end of 2025. The most optimistic project that it could reach $ 458,000 before the end of the decade, fed by growing institutional adoption and the search for traditional cash alternatives in a high inflation environment. For full week, Bitcoin accumulates A gain close to 10%while Ethereum exceeds 20%.

The failure of this science fiction film ended the career of a classic director and closed a study in a week

The arrival of computer animated cinema is not only cemented in great successes such as’Toy Story‘ and The advent of Pixar. They also came into play, at the time, box office failures such as ‘Titan AE’, an ambitious animated science fiction film whose resounding failure ended the race of the great Don Bluth, closed Fox’s animation department forever and meant one of the last nails in the coffin of traditional animation. From actors to drawings. 25 years ago recent Space Opera With real actors.
