Bill Gates has radiographed Intel. And his diagnosis is overwhelmingly accurate

by

Intel’s health is worrying. We have talked about the problems he faces This company with some depth during the last six months, but to delimit its context it is important that we remember that on August 1 he announced A very aggressive cost reduction plan which seeks to increase the efficiency of your business model and competitiveness. Its purpose is to reduce your expenses in More than 10,000 million dollars during 2025. To achieve this in essence, two fronts are attacking: 15% of its workforce has been undone, and, in addition, it has significantly reduced its investment in research and development, marketing and general administration. Presumably most of these cuts was executed before 2024 ended, so, on paper, for 2025 Intel’s maximum austerity strategy It will consolidate definitively. Bill Gates analyzes why Intel is in such a committed situation For users it is very bad news that Intel is going through such a delicate moment. It would also be to the same extent as AMD, NVIDIA or Apple, among other companies, cross a similar crisis. It is evident that what interests us consumers is that these companies compete with each other, and so that they can do so, they are necessary to be in the best state possible. Bill Gates also believes it. Your statements a The Associated Press They have no waste. “I am stunned because Intel has lost his way. Gordon Moore always kept it at the forefront, and now they are lagging behind in terms of chip design, and also to the manufacture of integrated circuits. And both aspects require a great capital investment. artificial intelligence (AI), and Your manufacturing capabilities They do not even use the standards that companies such as NVIDIA or Qualcomm consider simple. I think Pat Gelsinger was very brave when he said: ‘I will not fix the chips design; I will fix the manufacture ‘. I expected, for its good and for the good of the country, that it was successful “, Bill Gates has confessed. “The chips revolution for AI and their manufacturing capabilities have not even used the standards that NVIDIA or Qualcomm consider simple,” PAT GELSINGER Abandon Intel on December 1. Although it is already completely disconnected from the company that has led for almost four years, the possibility of separating the chips manufacturing subsidiary from the rest of the company remains above the table. However, like We explain to you At the end of November, if you finally decide to do so, you will not have complete freedom. And he will not have it because he has contracted obligations with the US government as a result of the reception of the 7,860 million dollars given by the Department of Commerce as a subsidy, and also of the 3.5 billion dollars which will receive from the Department of Defense to make chips for military applications. Intel’s commitment to the US administration directly involves the splitting of its semiconductor manufacturing division in the form of an independent subsidiary. The US government has asked Intel that Keep the property of at least 50.1% Intel Foundry if this business unit finally got to separate and acquire the form of a new private legal entity. And, despite everything that has happened in the company in recent months, as I mentioned a few lines above, this possibility is still on the table. Intel it is crucial to increase its competitiveness, and the splitting of chips factories could help you get it. Dave Zinsner, the company’s financial director, has declared That a possible formal separation of the manufacturing and development of products is a matter that is completely open and that will have to decide the next leader of Intel. He will decide if he goes ahead with Gelsinger’s plan, or if, on the contrary, he turns around. Right now it is difficult to anticipate what will happen, but whatever happens, as Bill Gates argues, it is desirable to be in good shape.

The price of housing in Spain is already higher than in the bubble peak. But the data has a small trick

by

That Spain has A problem With housing it is no novelty. Even so, it is interesting to find data that specifies to what extent it has been complicated to access a house in this country. The Property Registrars they just disseminated one that results especially valuable And it shows that those who want to buy an apartment today meet the highest prices of the historical series, even above those of the 2007 real estate bubble. However, it is convenient to handle those figures with perspective. Prices above 2007. The real estate market is in full Price climbing. That also does not suppose any surprise and can be seen in the ascending curves that have been showing for a long time graphics like those of the idealistic portal. This week the College of Registrars published A report That leaves an extra, more interesting reading. The sustained price increase has led to the average housing price has reached in Spain “A new historical maximum”overcoming the values ​​that were handled in 2007, before the real estate bubble. According to the data collected by the registrars, the average cost during the last quarter of 2024 stood at € 2,164/m2. Table of the study of registrars on the evolution of the price of housing. Going down to detail. The dossier It allows to delve even more and check for example how the new and ‘second -hand’ housing housing market is responding, which has accumulated from afar the largest volume of sale operations. In fact, almost 637,000 transactions Scored by the professional body throughout 2024, just over 505,000 were starring used properties, 6.4% more than the previous year. The new house left ‘Solo’ 132,000 sale, although that data reflects a considerable increase with respect to 2023, of 21.6%. As for prices, at the end of 2024 the square meter of the release was charged on average to 2,338 euroswhile that of the already used properties was quoted at 2,133. In the first case the price exceeds that it was handled between 2006 and 2007, before the brick bubble exploded. The same does not happen with the second -hand housing, which although it has been more expensive, it would still continue slightly below of those prestisis values. Prices with small print. The study of registrars of Spain effectively shows an average price of housing in historical maximums, above of the 2007 level, but the big question is … does that mean that the houses are more uninquerable today than before the real estate bubble? To answer that question, you have to take into account the difference between the nominal valuesthat measure the current prices of each moment (in this case 2024) and The real onesin which the effect of inflation is taken into account. A few days ago, after the publication of the registrars dossier, Doctor of Economics Daniel Fuentes He warned in x which shows nominal prices, with which the comparison between 2007 and 2024 has 17 years apart. And its inflation. The nuance does not remain value to the report data, but it should be taken into account if comparisons are made with the prices prior to the 2007 brick crisis. Click on the image to go to Tweet. More perspectives. In fact, registrars are not the only ones who have published more or less updated information on Spanish real estate market prices. In April 2024 the Bank of Spain launched A report in which it clearly reflected the differences between nominal and real values. According to their calculations, in 2023 the average housing prices had been recovered since 2014 with a nominal revaluation of 56%; But in terms of real revaluation that rise was much lower, of 30%. What does that mean? That in the first case the prices of 2023 were about to exceed those of 2007 (they were 2% below); But in the second, taking into account the real values, the average of 2023 was still 28.5% lower at 2007. The indicator Tinsa Imie (monthly real estate market index) December It also shows that, although the values ​​have grown clearly, the general indicator It is still below of the scored in 2007. Graph of the Annual Report of 2023 on the housing market in Spain. Graph of the Bank of Spain on the evolution of the price of nominal and real housing. Evolution of the price of housing in Spain reflected in the October October report. Different situations. That current prices approach or exceed those of 2006 and 2007 also mean that the current scenario is the same as that of the years prior to the brick crisis. “The demand after the bubble was speculative, the one now is demographic,” says Fuentes In your tweet. During A talk with The country Santiago Carbó, Professor of Economic Analysis, also ruled out a crisis similar to that of the bubble. The reason: the great current challenge of Spain is the mismatch between supply and demand, rather than indebtedness, as was the case then. The problem, Carbó aboundsis that finding affordable housing becomes “increasingly difficult” and it will be difficult for the measures taken by the Government to let their effects feel this year or even the next one. “The incorporation of thousands of floors to the market would be needed to relieve this tension, and that requires years.” Is there more? Yeah. The study of the registrars allows to know three other factors equally interesting: the differences between regions, the number of signed mortgages and the weight of foreign buyers. With regard to the first issue, that of the lags between communities, the report shows that disparate realities coexist in the Spanish market. For example, while Madrid led the cost of the house, with € 3,780/m2, in Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura that average did not even reach the € 1,000 barrier. The weight of the foreign buyer … and the banks. The report also shows that the vast majority of purchases are made with bank financing. Throughout the last quarter of 2024, 124,000 … Read more

We have been fearing the arrival of the ‘Beast of the East’ a week and in the end an Atlantic front has sneaked into the squad

by

In recent days, the big topic of weather conversation has been the ‘East beast‘. Many things have been said: from Nieves generalized throughout the country to a simple decrease in temperatures. What we did not expect was the “extraordinary turn” that the situation has taken. What do we talk about when we talk about the ‘Beast of the East’? As we explained yesterdaybeyond the controversy by name, the phenomenon is very simple: a mass of polar air that takes advantage of an Atlantic blocking situation to move from the northeast of the European continent to the southwest. That is, towards us. From ‘beast’ a ‘bestiecilla’. Unlike the ‘Beast’ of 2018the mass that was approaching had no capacity to form a cold and snow storm worthy of that name. However, since these situations are rare and difficult to model, there were many doubts and uncertainties. Beyond that We were going to notice the closeness of that mass of cold airnobody was very clear about what was going to happen. The unknown is clearing. On the one hand, the mass of air has started doing something that was as far as possible: cycloogenesis. These types of masses are very dry, but on their way to the southwest they can generate cold danas or storms. On the other, an Atlantic Front It has sneaked by the northwest and is on the way to the Southeast leaving generalized rains throughout the Peninsula (less on the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands). And what will happen? The interaction of the two phenomena will leave a lot of snow in the Pyrenees (already very low levels). The front will leave some water in most of the country. However, the great turn is that the instability that the front is creating will help moderate the cold peaks. That does not change the general image (it will be colder than usual), but it does make The worst forecasts are diluted Between the rain. In fact, as the front passes the temperatures will tend to rise. Be that as it may, care in the north third: snow, fog and ice will roast a few days between us.

Some researchers claim to have created an AI as good as those of Openai and Deepseek for $ 50. And the data is real

by

The cost of training of models of artificial intelligence (IA) More advanced is in the spotlight. And it is understandable that it is so. The irruption of the Chinese company model Deepseekwhich presumably has A moderate training costhas questioned the strategy and investments deployed so far by OpenAi, Google or Microsoft, among other companies. A brief review before moving forward: those responsible for Deepseek argue that the infrastructure they have used to train their agglutin model 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And also that this process with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. However, some analysts defend that these figures do not reflect reality. The report prepared by SEMIANALYSIS He maintains that, in reality, the infrastructure used by Deepseek to train his AI model approximately 50,000 NVIDIA GPU with Hopper MicroAritecture. According to Dylan Patel, AJ Kourabi, Doug O’Laughlin and Reyk Knuhttsen, at least 10,000 of these chips are GPU H100 of Nvidia, and at least another 10,000 are GPU H800. The remaining chips, according to these analysts, are the cuts cut H20. The ‘S1’ model takes more firewood On January 31, a group of researchers from Stanford University and the University of Washington, both in the US, published in the repository of open access scientific articles Arxiv A text in which it claims to have managed to train an AI model with reasoning capacity and benefits comparable to those of OPENAI or DEPEEEK O1 models facing an investment of just under $ 50. A boat soon seems impossible. With that money a priori it is absolutely unfeasible to train an artificial intelligence model. And less an advanced and capable of competing from you to you with those of OpenAi or Deepseek. However, it is true. To understand how they have achieved it We need to investigate the strategy they have devised. On the one hand, those 50 dollars represent the cost of renting the cloud computing infrastructure to which they have resorted to carry out the training. It makes sense if the time invested is very moderate. ‘S1’ has been elaborated from the free qwen2.5-32b model developed by the Chinese laboratory Qwen But there is something else. Something very important. His reasoning model, which they have called S1, has been elaborated from the free artificial intelligence model QWEN2.5-32B developed by the Chinese Laboratory Qwen, alibaba. And its reasoning process is inspired by the GEMINI 2.0 Flash Thinking Google model. They have not left zero at all. An interesting note: the S1 model is available in GITHUB together with the data and code used by these scientists to train it. On the other hand, the training process lasted less than 30 minutes using only 16 NVIDIA H100 chips belonging to the cloud computing network used by these researchers. From here comes the cost of Somewhat less than 50 dollars. However, there is another data that is worth not overlooked: the S1 Reasoning Model has been generated by distillation of the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking experimental model. Distillation is, in broad strokes, an automatic learning technique that allows the knowledge base to be transferred from a large and advanced model to a much smaller and efficient. This strategy saves many resources, although it does not serve to create models from scratch. Beyond the caraded 50 dollars of cost, the really important thing is that, as we have just verified, it is possible to put to tuning models of very competitive facing a much more restrained investment than those made by the large technology companies so far.

How US ships repelled the red sea drones without shooting a single shot

by

In recent months, several news in those points of the planet where there are tensions or directly some kind of armed conflict, they gave us the first clues. The war that was fought until very recently has given way to a very different one where the human loses importance in the first line of the contest. That’s why United Kingdom has sent the P8 Poseidon to protect your submarine cables, or In Ukraine an optical fiber is worth more than some ammunition. Now, a document has revealed to what extent the war is different. Non -kinetic weapons. I told Business Insider a few hours ago through secret documents that have obtained from the intelligence of the United States. Apparently, during the American mission to counteract the attacks of the Hutis rebels in the Red Sea, The destroyers of the United States Navy such as the USS Mason and the USS Serly, managed to repel all drone attacks without firing Missiles or conventional ammunition. We talk about A period that covers between November 2023 and March 2024space in which these ships used non -kinetic capabilities, technology that includes advanced electronic warfare systems to deactivate enemy drones through electromagnetic interference and cyber attacks, instead of traditional defense methods. The electronic war revolution. The documents obtained by the medium reveal that these ships used advanced technologies such as the AN/SLQ-32 (“slick-32”) and the so -called Ship’s Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE)both designed to detect, interfere and neutralize the signs of enemy drones and missiles. These systems allow interrupt communications and guidance mechanisms of drones, leaving them inoperative without the need to physically destroy them. This technique, although it is part of the naval doctrine for years, had never been used with the intensity that is currently made against drone swarms in a real conflict. In fact, something similar in Ukraine is happening, The “mother of all battles between drones”. Strategic benefits in non -kinetic weapons. The use of electronic war for naval defense represents a crucial advance, in this specific case for the United States Navy, in front of attacks such as those perpetrated by the hutis, who They have launched about 500 drones against ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Adén since October 2023. Here The key advantages of these systems are several. From the savings of ammunition, since, instead of spending expensive missiles in each enemy drone, non -kinetic weapons offer a cheaper and more efficient alternative, until sustainability in combat, since by avoiding the exhaustion of the arsenal, ships can stay in the theater of operations without the need for frequent refueling. Plus: greater tactical adaptabilitysince the electronic war allows to counteract threats in real time, without revealing the location of the ship with shots or generating traces of heat. A change in the naval strategy. If you want also, the success of these systems in the Red Sea conflict marks a turning point in the Maritime War doctrine. In this regard, experts such as Bryan Clark, ex -official of the Navy and defense analyst at the Hudson Institute, highlight that this is The first time that the United States faces a massive use of aerial drones in anti -ribous attackswhich has forced the Navy to develop more sophisticated tactics. The experience obtained in these clashes not only strengthens the defensive capacity of US ships, but also provides key lessons for future conflicts, in which electronic war and non -kinetic weapons could play a predominant role. Exactly the same that happens in Ukraine where The battle has moved to another completely different level to other conflicts. A fact before finishing to understand the importance of this new paradigm shift: last year and in just two days, 1,600 aircraft in Europe had problems with GPS. He guilty: Electronic War.

almost exceed Netflix in the US

by

If we are witnessing something in recent months, it is how the stampede of launch, audience peaks, capital premieres and other blows of effect of the platforms of streaming They calm down. The dust sits, frantic ads and blockbusters are increasingly scarce. But the low intensity combat continues. Netflix Queen, but … and then? We have declared how more or less informal winner of the war of streaming to Netflix: its number of spectators and the rhythm and scope of its premieres goes far beyond those of its competitors, to the point that the company itself is going to Stop communicating your number of subscribers. It is no longer in that war. But those who leave the rear have much to fight. For example, Prime Video has experienced a growth in the last quarter of 2024 that has put him very close to the queen. Prime video takes the front. This growth in the US market, According to data from the Parrot Analytics consultancyit has made it the second platform in the country, adding 16.7% of the total content requests of consumers. Before that quarter it was at 13.3% and in fourth place, behind Hulu (which in the United States is more powerful than Disney+, although in Europe Hulu and Disney+ are grouped) and Max. Netflix is ​​still in the lead, but by little, With 18.1% (Image of Parrot Analytics). What is this change? The power of cinema. The Catalog of Prime Video films is very extensive: with more than 25,000 films and more than 2,700 series in the United States, it is the most content platform. The figures in other countries have not been made public, but in many cases (such as the Metro catalog, Amazon property) Rights are shared, and it is true that you just have to wander for a while for prime video to check that the platform fund such as Disney+ or Max exceeds in no problems. In addition, it is the only platform, Next to Filminthat pays systematic attention to both classic and cult and series B cinema, what you taste apart, allows you to multiply your number of titles. This consistent commitment to cinema was strengthened in 2024, when the platform increased its catalog by spectacular 71.7%. For limited time. This explosive increase in catalog will not always be there (in the United States hundreds of universal films have arrived to Prime Video that will spend next year to Netflix; in Spain, a good part of that catalog background are distributed between Filmin, Prime video and skyshowtime). But for now, it has served to give this push: Parrot estimates that, in the first three quarters of 2024, 36.3% of Prime Video’s revenues were driven by the films. The movies also matter. In a panorama absolutely dominated by the series, it is comforting to verify that films can also boost the finance of the platforms. It is the reason why, without a doubt, Prime Video is one of the most budget they invest in the production of new feature films, such as’Road House‘,’ Jackpot! ‘ Or, in Spain, ‘Apocalypse z‘: They know that it is a good way to step on the heels of the gigantic Netflix.

What is artificial superintelligence (like), the type of AI that aspires to overcome the intelligence of all human beings

by

Artificial intelligence raises a true revolution in our world, but for now its impact is relatively reduced. The appearance of Chatgpt In November 2022, things began to change, and although the rhythm of advances is remarkable, the scope of AI is limited. In fact, we have been talking about three large types of systems of systems for a long time artificial intelligence. Let’s see them with some more detail. So or artificial superintelligence Beyond the general artificial intelligence (AGI) is the call Artificial superintelligence (like)that would be that capable of creating systems that exceed human intelligence in all metrics. Thus, one would be among other things capable of improving itself autonomously, refining and optimizing its algorithms exponentially. That capacity, together with its cognitive superiority, would allow such a global challenges such as climate change, the shortage of resources or potential pandemics, and do it with an unparalleled effectiveness. But the development of a also raises a threat important potential. If these systems end up solving problems that go beyond human understanding, thus could redefine all kinds of industries, revolutionize the industry and change our society of unpredictable ways. In addition to how such could become aware of itself, thus being able to develop their own desires, motivations and moral framework, what would make it unpredictable. It is precisely that possibility that is reflected in many dystopic science fiction films such as’2001: an odyssey of space‘ either ‘Terminator‘in which the human race ends up practically extinguished by the machines. And it is precisely one of the risks Of those who speak Some experts In ia. Others like Yann Lecun, head of the goal, see that potential threat as “Absurdly ridiculous”. Agi or general artificial intelligence Much more ambitious than weak artificial intelligence is General Artificial Intelligence (AGI)which would allow solving any intellectual task to resolve by a human being. This artificial intelligence would be multitasking and could do hundreds, thousands of different things well. A general artificial intelligence would be able to perform all the tasks performed by human beings and even others that are not capable. Over time it is estimated that this type of agi systems could replace the human being in virtually any field And they could make human labor obsolete, something that would have gigantic social and economic implications. These systems could replicate the human ability to reason, learn and adapt to new problems. Thus, theoretically an AGI would be able to generalize their knowledge and apply them to a wide number of scenarios, something that the weak or narrow systems cannot do, although modern models of reasoning with Openai O1/O3 or Deepseek R1 go in that direction . Ani or artificial intelligence “narrow” These types of systems are able to solve very well defined and limited problems. The Narrow artificial intelligence (ANI) It is the one that has caused the true explosion of this discipline in recent times: different techniques have been applied such as Deep machine or learning To solve specific problems, and the results have been exceptional. The artificial vision systems that apply for example in urban traffic management are a good example of ANI. This artificial intelligence, also called “weak” or “narrow” (ANI, by artificial Narrow Intelligence) is what we have long seen applied to many scenarios with greater or lesser success. The achievements achieved with Deep Blue or with Alphago They are a perfect example of weak artificial intelligence: they solve a specific and delimited problem and that allow them to be solved so that these systems end up performing those tasks much better than a human being. But also now they are much more present in the hands of All generative AI models They are available in services such as Chatgpt, Claude or Gemini, but also in others such as Midjourney or Dall-E 3. These models are not able to adapt to their environment, although they can maintain a coherent dialogue, as the aforementioned chatbots do.

It is the first time that happens in Spain

by

The strike they propose through the CGT union The workers of Ubisoft Barcelona, ​​the only headquarters in Spain of the French multinational plans to begin next week, as of February 13. It is not the first labor achievement that these workers achieve, which They syndicated last summer through the video game union coordinator And, in November, they sued Ubisoft for changing what was agreed with respect to Teleworking policy. The date is not accidental: it is the same in which different companies in the sector will stop In France, organized by the Syndescat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV), French Industry Union. And although the conflict of workers with the company’s decision to reduce teleworking is the basis of the strike (a 33% reduction, after five years with 60% of the days of the month remotely), as a background is The tremendous crisis that the sector is going through. This crisis has caused layoffs for months, and in Ubisoft, according to CGT, About 500 jobs have been taken ahead. In Spain, the crisis He has hit hard to studies such as Novarama, Smilegate or Tequila Works. That is why the decision of the Ubisoft Barcelona team is especially relevant, which thus becomes The first study that carries out a strike within the industry of the country.
