The self -school denounces that the list of waiting for the driving exam is endless. The DGT denies it

by

“I thought about changing my self -school, really, but as I had already approved the theoretical exam … when I asked in other places the waiting list was the same.” These words are from Elena, a student of an Aluche car to the south of Madrid. What he explains is the same as thousands of students live throughout Spain. Elena is 19 years old and wanted to get the driving license “because a car gives you a lot of freedom. If there is public transport, I prefer public transport but it is true that the car gives you that freedom not to depend on the schedules of the bus or the subway.” He was not in a hurry, luckily. He tells us that he approved the theoretical exam last March but had to stop the desire to get into the car to start the practices. “There was a waiting list that has come to August.” And, as we said, he clarifies that it doesn’t matter where you look. “I had to wait and now,” he emphasizes. Those who need yes or yes to work are not so lucky. “As an opponent, who in some cases ask traffic an extraordinary exam to be able to enter into the deadline,” they explain from Corella Autoescoles who will give us more details of what they are living in Valencia. Because the situation is repeated in the big cities of Spain. This is just a case in Madrid but there are similar testimonies in Valencia, Barcelona or Bilbao. Self -schools stuck due to lack of teachers. But also struck self -schools because, they say, the DGT does not have enough employees to give way to the waiting list to present to the practical exam. “The so -called waiting list,” they tell us from the DGT. Permanently struck self -schools It is a problem that has been repeating for years. Already in 2017DGT examiners were strike demanding job improvements. They said they were saturated and claimed more personal. Then, 100,000 applicants stayed on the road and Some self -schools raised the closure after some stops that were held more than half a year. Now the DGT ensures that “the ratio of jobs is covered in 97% and is the group that has a higher replacement rate since every year approximately 50 examiners access.” “Since 2017, 732 examiners have been incorporated. It is, with much difference, the collective with more incorporations within the DGT, ”they insist. Is it enough? Javier L. Tejedor, of Lara auto -schoolIt is resounding: “No.” He points out that the examiners “are obliged to take the holidays before February and that leaves months of very few examiners in staff. The months of December, January and February are very complicated. And also July.” The same says David Corella, from Corella Autoescoles. “We have to take the student to exam when we see him prepared but quadling that we have to wait a month and a half to introduce ourselves. There you have to run out the practices.” If everything were about rails, there would be not much problem. But everything is complicated when the student suspends (according to the DGT 46% of students do not exceed the first exam). “We have to put them on the waiting list of repeaters and there the deadlines go to two or three months because we have to continue taking people but there are few places. We have never had a waiting list like now,” they insist. Both point to the same problem. “Almost all traffic leaders are saturated throughout Spain,” they explain from Lara Auto School. “In our case, as we have 65 centers in Madrid, the waiting list to do the practices once you approve the theoretician is from a month and a half but today I have answered an email from a student of another car that claims to have to wait five months.” “An examiner does 12 car or motorcycle tests a day. It has 360 minutes to examine throughout the day but the number of tests are the same, regardless of the exam last five or twenty -eight minutes,” explains Javier L. Tejedor. The perception that students and self -schools have is that the traffic jam is continuous but the DGT defends that this is not such and that, in fact, it is not uncommon for empty squares to remain. “The so -called waiting list is not a fact that corresponds to people who would be in real disposition to request the exam,” they explain. David Corella says that in Alicante “they have the same examiners as us but they have a million less inhabitants. Come on, in Valencia we have few for the population we have.” And he points to a fact “We are in almost 19,000 students waiting. In three years we have increased more than 3,000 students.” Traffic, meanwhile, defends itself by saying that these students are counted on the CAPA SYSTEM But they ensure that not all students who appear there are willing to take the exam. They classify these in three major categories: Those who have suspended the first test Those who are completing practical training but are not prepared to get the driving license Those who delay the exam to take it out in their city of origin or during its holiday period. In Lara auto, they agree that this happens but they point out another reason: “Many students move to take the exam to do them in smaller headquarters taking advantage of the fact that they return to study but there are also those that come to Madrid to larger self -schools because they know we have more capacity to teach and there are more scheduled exams.” They do not share this vision in the DGT. From traffic they emphasize that, in addition to the usual template, they have 15 examiners who rotate between traffic leaders to adapt to demand. A demand that has forced 6.58% more exams with open traffic in the first … Read more

A triplegable missile that marks territory in front of the entire industry

by

Buy or not a tablet. That is the big question when the mobile falls short to work or see content comfortably. At that point more doubts arise: if it is worth investing in another device, if it compensates to always load with it, if we really need it. Everything has its pros and cons. But what if there was a single screen for everything? What recently sounded to experiment today is a reality that steps strongly: folding mobiles have taken another step. They are no longer folded only by two, now they also fold in three. The most striking example is the new Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Designthe second triplegable company. The Chinese brand presents it with a clear objective: Attract those looking for more than a traditional smartphone. Huawei Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Technical Card Screens Folding: 6.4 ”(2232 × 1008) Double: 7.9 ”(2232 × 2048) Triple: 10.2 ”(2232 × 3184) OLED · LTPO (adaptive soda rate) PWM 1440 HZ · 240 Hz touch sampling Processor Kirin 9020 Operating system Harmonyos 5.1 RAM 12 GB / 16 GB Storage 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB Rear cameras MAIN: 50 MP, F/1.4 – F/4.0, RYYB, OIS, 10 Steps Physical Opening Ultra wide angle: 40 mp, f/2.2, Ryyb Telefoto Periscope: 12 MP, F/3.4, Ryyb, OIS, 5,5x optical zoom (Digital 50x) Front camera 8 mp ultra wide angle, f/2.2 Load and battery Cable: up to 66 W; Inverse 5 w · wireless: up to 50 w; Inverse 7.5 w 5600 mAh Accessories Compatible with M-PEN 3 (air gestures, button) Bluetooth keyboard Price Since 17,999 yuan (about 2,165 euros) A huge screen and the entire Huawei muscle This mobile is a sophistication exercise. The rear wears a textured finish that highlights even more with its octagonal camera module, framed in gold. Metal edges maintain the same tone, creating a uniform and elegant aesthetic. It is available in black, white, purple and soft red, all with golden details that reinforce their exclusive character. Huawei had already surprised with the Mate XT, his first folding of three sections. Now, with this Mate XTS, refine your proposal without drastic changes with the naked eye, but with improvements that make it more ambitious. Its main protagonist is the screen: an X-True panel of 10.2 inches and 3K resolution that folds into two points to adopt different sizes according to the use. It can become a 7.9 -inch tablet or a 6.4 -inch smartphone, always with a 92% screen ratio that takes full advantage of the space. The panel includes LTPO technology to dynamically adjust the refreshment rate and offer a more fluid experience. Despite its size, Huawei has made the device surprisingly light in hand, and its construction with materials such as UTG glass and reinforced components promise to provide resistance without losing elegance. Under the hood, the Mate XTS premieres the new Kirin 9020 processor, accompanied by Harmonyos 5.1. Huawei says a jump of more than 36% in performance Regarding its predecessor, optimizing multitasking, apps and energy consumption. In addition, it incorporates advanced antennas and satellite connectivity (according to availability), which allows you to maintain communication even without land coverage. The photographic section is another of its great arguments. Mounted a three-chamber system: a 50 MP principal with variable opening (f/1.4-f/4.0) and optical stabilization, an ultra large angle of 40 MP) a notable jump from the 12 MP of the previous model) and a 12 MP teleobjective with 5.5x and digital optical zoom of up to 50x. The 8 MP front camera is complemented with functions such as the double view to preview the photos from both sides of the screen. Autonomy is in charge of a 5600 mAh battery with silicon anode, which promises resistance without compromising thickness. Admits Fast charging of 66 w by cable and 50 w wireless. Huawei has paid attention to the productivity section: the mobile is compatible with the M-Pen 3 pencil, which allows you to draw, take notes or control presentations with air gestures. It also works with a bluetooth keyboard designed. At the software level, the experience is designed to take advantage of the triplegable format. Harmonyos 5.1 Includes a multiventana mode that allows you to stack applications, drag content between screens and run full PC apps such as WPS Office o Graphic editing programs. Functions such as screen translation or a voice assistant. Price and availability of Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design has just been officially presented in China. At the moment, there are no details about its arrival in Europe, but its prices in the Asian market allow us to get an idea of ​​its range.

800 head of cattle in Asturias

by

In Asturias, the mugids, balids and whispers have become an unexpected ally of electricity. Under the towers and cables that transport the energy that illuminates homes and companies, now pasts the cattle. The recipe to keep the electricity lines clean no longer depends only on chainsaws or unbrids: nature occupies its place again. Living Specifies. REDEIA – The Matrix Electricity Company, responsible for the transport and operation of the electrical system in Spain – has launched in Cabrales (Asturias) the program “Network grazing”. This initiative introduces the cattle in the safety halls of the electric lines. As reported by the company itselfthere are eight livestock farms of Cabrales that have joined the agreement, contributing a total of 512 cows, 180 goats, 80 sheep and 23 horses. These animals will graze over 67.5 hectares of land located under the lines of Ortiguero, Asiego and Carreña, thus becoming biological hosts to maintain vegetation at bay. One more complement. The project is added to the usual mechanical means. “The streets that run under the electricity lines must be clean and accessible, both to avoid fires and to prevent vegetation from reaching the laying of the electrical cables and ensuring that, if necessary, maintenance equipment can arrive soon and solve any contingency,” said Laura Quintana, director of sustainable development of Redeia, In statements collected by La Voz de Galicia. The grazing plan is designed and supervised by the Agrovidar company, which will also be in charge of evaluating the environmental results. An effect with benefits. The previous experience in the Rioja and León has already shown results: it avoids the degradation of the ecosystem, increases soil fertility and favors the increase of more biodiversity, with the greatest presence of arthropods, butterflies, pollinators and floral units. In practice, these halls under the lines become ecological corridors that reduce habitat fragmentation. In addition, the impact is not just environmental. The initiative reinforces the rural economy, provides income to local farmers, helps set population in mountain areas and preserves traditional knowledge: that of extensive livestock. An increasingly practiced initiative. What happens in Cabrales is not an isolated case. The use of livestock as a maintenance tool makes its way in the world of energy. On the one hand, in Australia, A study in Wellington Solar Park (174 MW) He showed that the sheep that grass between the solar panels not only reduced maintenance costs, but also improved the quality of wool thanks to the diversity of fodder and the shadow. On the other, in the United States, the so -called “Solar grazing” has transformed the lives of shepherds such as Jr Howard in Texas. Under Milam County panels – one of the world’s largest solar parks, with 1,600 hectares and 900 MW of power – 3,000 sheep do the work of natural debrote. Howard’s business went from being small to have 8,000 animals and 27 employees. The shared soil. In Cabrales, the energy of the future walks on the footprints of an ancient knowledge. Between mugids and balids, Asturias demonstrates that coexistence between technology and nature is not only possible, but necessary. Where there were unbrokenness before, now it is cows, goats, sheep and horses who keep alive the balance between electricity, environment and rural life.

China’s technological development is unstoppable. It is accelerating and the responsible country is the USA

by

Jensen Huang, the co -founder and general director of Nvidia, made it very clear in one of the statements he made during the already distant 2023 computer: “China is dedicating mass resources to the implementation of emerging companies specialized in the development of GPU. Do not underestimate them. “This warning was directed to the US government in a clear attempt to prevent you from the consequence that They will have the sanctions that seek to stop the technological development of China. However, this statement is not the only one that Huang has made with the purpose of describing the strategy of this gigantic Asian country. This executive too assures that “if China can’t buy chips for artificial intelligence (AI) To the US she will simply manufacture them. ” Huawei, Cambricon Technologies either Moore Threadsamong many other Chinese companies. It is likely that in 2026 China reaches technological self -sufficiency Jensen Huang is not at all the only expert who has warned the US government and his allies that his sanctions are promoting a flight forward. This statement by Marc HijinkDutch journalist expert in semiconductors and author of the highly recommended essay book ‘Focus: The Asml Way’expresses very strongly the impact that the USA and the Netherlands can have on the ASML business and the technological development of China: “I think that the great frustration that Asml feels is that by restricting the sale of their machines, not just those of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE), but also those of immersion, an opportunity opens for a Chinese competitor to enter the market. This could create a very powerful rival (…) if ASML entry into China is completely restricted The Chinese are forced to use their own technologywhich eventually drives its innovation. We see the same in the field of AI or with Huawei, which creates chips even with its limited lithography options. “ Its purpose is to transfer their knowledge to China because they are convinced that despite their efforts the US government will not be able to stop the technological advance of China Let’s change third. Liguo “Recoo” Zhang is Chinese, but has lived for several decades in the US and has worked in Siemens Eda, the US subsidiary of this German company that dominates the chip design software market in China. Zhang currently directs the Chinese Seida company, and in the business plan that he presented in 2022 with the purpose of capturing new investors, he collected that his company would have its chip design software ready in early 2024. However, this is not all. And is that in that document Seida defended that his plan went to “break the foreign monopoly.” Presumably the software developed by Seida is already being used by SMIC, Hua Hong semiconductor and other Chinese manufacturers of integrated circuits. In fact, SMIC is one of the investors of this company. Peilun “Allen” Chang, the director of Operations of Seida, assures that Zhang and other former employees of Siemens EDA left this German company as a result of US sanctions. Its purpose was transfer their knowledge to China because they are convinced that despite their efforts the US government will not be able to stop the technological advance of China. In the field of Chinese scientific development, it has also reached notable achievements in recent years. In fact, in the cover image of this article we can see the ambitious experimental reactor of nuclear fusion CFETR (Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor) that is being built in this Asian country as an alternative to ITER. In any case, before concluding this article it is worth returning to the domain of technology to make a bet: it is likely that In 2026 China already has its own UVE photolithography teamswhich are the machines you need to produce avant -garde chips. If this prognosis is fulfilled by the country led by Xi Jinping will reach its longing for technological self -sufficiency.

compete for the browser with AI to work final

by

Atlassian has agreed Acquire The Browser Companythe New York startup creator of the browsers ARC and Dayfor 610 million dollars in cash. The agreement becomes the business software company owner of one of the most promising startups in the browse sector with artificial intelligence. The reception was less than they expected. The Browser Company was founded in 2019 with the ambition to reinvent the experience of web navigation. Your first product, arcarrived in 2022 with several innovative functionalities, such as its advanced tabs, integrated slate, or its ability to share eyelashes. However, only a small percentage of users took advantage of these characteristics, according to They mentioned From the CNBC. This is how the browser with the the Browser Company The turn to the AI. In June 2024, The Browser Company launched daya simpler browser but focused on artificial intelligence that allows users to interact through prompts with multiple tabs simultaneously. Day you can move data between spreadsheets, consult calendars from Gmail or take advantage of any content with URL to provide your AI models. This approach that The Browser Company opted has turned out to be the real hook for Atlassian. Why Atlassian bets on this. Mike Cannon-Broakes, CEO of Atlassian, He has been a user of ARC since its inception And since then he has dedicated a good part of his time to detect errors and ask the team more functions. Now he prepares to own the project. “Today’s browsers were not created to work, they were built to navigate,” assures Cannon-Broakes. The company sees an opportunity to combine the experience offered by software as an ARC service with the abilities of the day to create an optimized browser so that workers obtain the knowledge they need for their tasks in a easiest way. Business Strategy. Atlassian, who has more than 300,000 clients, plans to keep The Browser Company as Independent Division. Miller will continue to lead the development, although Recognize An approach change: “Before we talked a lot about shopping, make reservations, search for film schedules. That will disappear in terms of our focus,” he explains. Now they will concentrate exclusively on professional users. Between the lines. The operation arrives at a time of intense competition in browsers with AI. Perplexity has its own browserGoogle is integrating ia in Chrome At an accelerated pace, and OpenAi is supposedly close to launch a browser Based on chatgpt. What about Arc. Although Miller promises that ARC will continue to be maintained, the startup had already stopped developing new functionalities for this browser. The focus will be completely day, which promises to integrate the best characteristics of ARC. And the transition seems inevitable, since everything indicates that there is no place for two browsers in this new strategy. The perfect timing. Miller justifies the sale arguing that “the winner of the navigators space with AI will be decided in the next 12 to 24 months.” To compete, The Browser Company needed massive distribution, sales and scale organization that, according to him, “it was not something that money could buy on the temporal horizon we had.” Atlassian, with its 2.3 million monthly active users in AI capacities, offers exactly that. And now what. The agreement will be closed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 of Atlassian, subject to regulatory approvals. The operation will be financed with cash by the company. For The Browser Company, the strategy represents both a great exit and a risky bet, since they go on to bet on a future as a work tool instead of continuing to compete for being the chatgpt of personal browsers.

Now he wants to turn off factories to save his industry

by

China is the undisputed leader of world solar energy. Its factories produce almost 90% of the solar cells of the planet and have left European and American competitors out of play. But that overwhelming domain has resulted in a monumental problem: prices for soils, millionaire losses and an excess of panels that the world does not need. Now Beijing prepares a shock plan to “reset” its solar industry. The solar bubble exploded. Between 2020 and 2023, Beijing redirected resources from the real estate sector to what he baptized as “the three new growth industries”: solar panels, electric cars and batteries. The result resulted in a flood of factories and an unprecedented production. In a report for Financial Timesthe Asian giant has registered a manufacture of 588 GW of solar cells last year, more than double the 451GW world demand. The immediate consequence was a price collapse: companies sold below cost to release stock, What caused losses With more than 60,000 million dollars. The solar grade polisilicio – key premium material – sank up to about 50 yuan per kilo. In addition, the social impact was not less. The five largest photovoltaic companies They reduced their templates in 31 %, which represents 87,000 silent layoffs. Of success to venom. The diagnosis is clear: excess capacity and wild competence. What once was the recipe of success – hipercompetitiveness and mass production – has ended in a downward race. Bo Zhengyuan analyst He explained it at FT: “That same ‘animal spirit’ that succeeded in industry is now destroying it.” In addition, the state strategy played a central role. The central government encouraged factories and solar parks as a growth engine, while provincial governments, evaluated by employment and production, resisted any closure of deficit plants. The self -regulation attempt did not work either. In 2024, giants such as Longi, Tongwei and Ja Solar signed a “self -discipline” pact to limit production, imitating oil OPEC. But the agreement was not binding, and while some expected others to fulfill, many increased their production further to gain market share. The result was the opposite: historical excess of supply and sunken balances. Beijing’s plan. With the sector in red numbers, Beijing has decided to intervene. According to Bloomberglarge producers, with state support, plan a fund of at least 50,000 million yuan (7,000 million dollars) to acquire and close more than one million tons of polysilicio capacity. The movement seeks an immediate objective: stabilize prices. Ming Yang, Financial Director of Daqo New Energy, has declared Bloomberg that the sector “already touched background” and should return to profitability before the end of the year. His words were enough for solar actions to shoot: Daqo rose 14 % in Shanghai and the sector dominated the highest increases in the CSI 300 index. In parallel, Gcl Technology proposed to close a third of the industry’s capacity. Its financial director He has recognized Reuters There are no guarantees that the reform is implemented this year, but acknowledged that Spot prices have already begun to rise after the signal of regulators to curb “excessively low” sales. For its part, the Ministry of Industry has summoned executives from 14 companies to demand the closure of underutilized factories and promised stricter controls on new environmental projects and requirements, As Financial Times has pointed out. A geopolitical and technological dilemma. The Chinese solar reset not only has an economic, but also political and geostrategic dimension. According to FTon the one hand, the avalanche of cheap exports has tensed relations with the United States and Europe, while Beijing continues to promote sales to developing countries within its Strip and Route initiative. On the other hand, the sector has not stopped its technological commitment. Despite the losses, the six largest companies invested 3.4 billion yuan in R&D in the first half of 2025 and maintain almost 17,000 employees dedicated to research. In just five years, the conversion efficiency of solar cells has gone from 20 % to 30 %, According to UBS cited in the British media. But the paradox persists: analysts They estimate that it would be necessary to eliminate Between 20% and 30% of the production capacity for companies to be profitable again. An adjustment of this caliber collides with the interests of the provincial governments, which depend on local employment and investment, which complicates the execution of the plan. The light and the shadow of leadership. China built its solar hegemony with speed, scale and low prices. That same recipe today with destroying it. The country faces an uncomfortable decision: let the ultra -opening continue to sink its champions or assume a painful adjustment that closes factories and entertain prices. “In no other sector dominate more than in this one,” Economist Alicia García-Herrero has warned FT. Precisely because of that, Beijing seems willing to reset his sun, although it hurts. Only in this way can it prevent its greatest success story from becoming another victim of its own excess.

Cycling is a perfect claim channel

by

The return Spain is sport. But Also show. Its stages are followed by thousands of cycling fans inside and outside the country and generate an expectation that (in a way) is not very different from that of football, basketball or tennis. What is different is their deployment: cyclists do not compete on courts or stadiums, but in open paths of hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, which converts each of its stages into a fantastic showcase to throw messages of all kinds. And so It was clear yesterday In Bilbao, where the day was marked by the protests of fans who denounced Gaza’s genocide coinciding with the participation in the Israel-First Tech test, a team of Hebrew origin. What happened? That international politics has entered fully (and with controversy included) in the Tour of Spain. In view of The protests Against the Palestine genocide that were deployed yesterday in Bilbao to the passage of cyclists, the organization decided Finish the stage three kilometers before the goal. There were no winners. Not of course podium. Nor were points for classification. The idea was for the day to start and end in the ‘Botxo’, but the protests of hundreds of fansthat tensioned nerves in various moments of the day, led the organizers to take a radical measure to “protect all runners” and the team. “The return respects and defends the right to peaceful manifestation (…), but cannot tolerate acts that put at risk the physical integrity of the participants or any member of the caravan”, They warned last night. Click on the image to go to Tweet. What was the trigger? The participation of Israel-First Techan Israeli team of the UCI proteam category in the hands of Sylvan Adamsa Canadian-Israeli businessman closely linked to sport and that He has not hidden His tuning with Netanyahu. The presence of the team in the Vuelta It has generated controversy And he mobilized yesterday to protesters contrary to Gaza’s genocide, who dedicated themselves to launching octavillas, raising flags and pushing fences marking the competition. Almost at the exit a group of protesters deployed a banner on the road in which “Destroy Israel” could be read and later in Morga, Precise The mailseveral strangers crossed straw bundles on the track, which forced a mobile brigade. Beyond the strictly sports, the afternoon resulted in Three detaineesfive people identified and four hertzianas injured. What has the return said? Ha “condemned” What happened in Bilbao and justifies his decision recalling that his “absolute priority” is to guarantee the safety of cyclists. Officially the organization has not wanted to go further, but who has done so It is the technical director, Kiko García, who After remembering That the regulation prevents the return to expel the Israelis left the ball by driving the Adams roof, especially to avoid more incidents in the remainder of competition. “If you are going to continue in the race? We have transmitted our feel He reflected. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Have there been more reactions? Yes. And they go in a different direction. The International Cycling Union (UCI) published yesterday A statement in which he insists on the neutrality of competitions and “the unifying and peaceful role” of sport, so he is sharp: “The ICU reaffirms its commitment to the political neutrality, independence and autonomy of sport and expresses its solidarity and support for teams.” Nor for pressure on first tech, which already He has made clear that will continue pedaling. “Any other action would sit a dangerous precedent.” What is the background problem? That in certain aspects cycling is very similar to other mass sports, but in others it is totally different. And that has become a teeth pain for the return. The Spanish competition is a media show that follow newspapers, broadcasters and televisions, is commented on networks, generates news and is usually under the media focus. After all, Spain’s return is one of The big appointments of discipline in Europe and connects with the cycling fans of much of the country, including Bilbao. So far nothing that also does not happen with football, basketball or tennis. The peculiarity of cycling is that athletes compete in wide and open scenarios, kilometers and more kilometers of roads with gutters, urban stretches, homes … an itinerary in which organizers find it difficult to maintain total control, as was evident in Bilbao. In total, Tour 25 will be divided into 21 stages that will cover a distance from 3,151 kilometers Until September 14. That is, there are days of competition and kilometers of layout. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is it something new? No. Yesterday’s episode has been parcticularly media by its background, its protagonists and connect with a theme as hot as Gaza’s genocide, but the cycling world has been aware for years of how complicated the organizers are to control the routes. Result? The great competitions have a huge capacity for social penetration (cities take advantage of the return as Tourist showcase), but it is also an effective advertising platform to launch messages of all kinds. Are there more cases? Yes. Cycling has been used for some time as a means of vindication or to share messages. One of the most emblematic resources are The graffiti On the roads, on the asphalt itself, where all kinds of proclamations have been read. Last year, without going any further, the neighbors of Ancares took advantage of the return to claim more medical assistance. As? Painting “Ancares needs a doctor” In the middle of a road. There the organizers, the fans … and the rest of the country. In other ports and editions they have been painted claiming More infrastructurea Better coverage Telephone in rural areas or messages sportsamong others. In 2018 the organizers even found proclamations in favor of ETA prisoners Sharbateadas directly in the cars of the official caravan, although probably the intervention more famous Of all it was the one who dedicated himself in his day to the … Read more

We sensed that China and Russia leaders wanted to transcend in history. What we did not imagine was how much

by

Possibly, the moment that has most talk in the media during The military parade In China it has not been the Power shown By Beijing, but a conversation that lasted less than a minute among the leaders of China and Russia. “Before, it was rare to reach 70, but today, at 70, one is still a child,” Xi commented. “Reach immortality,” Putin replied. Because eternal “youth” has been a purpose of the president for years. An open micro. What happened was that An open microphone He captured an unexpected conversation between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin who showed not only his personal concerns, but also how biotechnology crosses the geopolitics. XI commented that in this century it could be possible for humans to live Until 150 years (“It is forecast that, in this century, you can also live up to 150“He said), while Putin, through a translator, spoke of organ transplants as a way towards perpetual youth and even” immortality. “ The scene, broadcast live on Chinese state television, offered an unusual intimate vision of two septuagenarian leaders who have eliminated mandate and maneuverado limits to prolong their permanence in power. An obsession. The Russian president He confirmed later The content of the talk, underlining that medical and surgical advances open the possibility of a much longer life. For years he has converted longevity in political priorityordering your Ministry of Health work in this field and encouraging state projects such as those of Rosatomwhich claims to develop techniques for “Print “human organs In laboratory. Your personal interest in health It is notorious: During the pandemic he imposed strict quarantine who had to meet with him and has promoted constitutional changes that would allow him to continue in power until 2036, when he would be 83 years old. In search of immortality. I counted in a The Times report That, in a context marked by the war in Ukraine and the demographic crisis that hits Russia, an official commission highlighted the priorities of the Kremlin elite: scientists from different institutions had received urgent orders from focus your research In anti -aging therapies, cell regeneration, immune reinforcement and advanced biomedicine, including 3D organ bioimpression. The initiative was Linked to Mikhail Kovalchuk77, nuclear physicist, president of the Kurchátov Institute and intimate friend of Putin, known both for his political influence and his personal obsessions. Kovalchuk also supervises a State Genetics Program in which the president’s eldest daughter, María Vorontsova, endocrinologist of training participates. Personal and political objective. Kovalchuk was described in the report as “crazy” For the idea of ​​eternal life, and it would have been the one who took the project directly to Putin, triggering a waterfall of ministerial orders that demanded immediate results. For some scientists, the mandate touched the absurd, by allocating resources to prolong the life of a septuagenarian elite while hundreds of thousands of young Russians die or are mutilated in the front. A source of the National Medical Center itself He defined it as “pure cynicism”, by prioritizing the rejuvenation of aged leaders on the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers. Conspiracy beliefs and esotericism. The background of these initiatives was mixed with the conspiracy vision that Putin and Kovalchuk share. The latter He has affirmed that the West develops biological weapons specifically directed against ethnic Russians and that the United States would have created a “subspecies of servants” with limited self -consciousness. Such ideas are intertwined with practices of Doubtful scientific base: Putin, despite having access to the best health, Supremely submit To bathrooms with bloods of siberian deer horns, a folkloric treatment that in Russia is attributed to rejuvenating and aphrodisiac properties. Pioneers of longevity. Death last year of Vladimir KhavinsonRussian longevity researcher marked the end of an influential figure in the development of rejuvenating drugs allegedly used by Soviet leaders such as Brézhnev. Although there are no solid evidence of its effective They would have appealed to your treatments. Its scientific legacy, halfway between biomedical research and pseudoscience, reflects the ambiguity of Russian policy in this field. The transhumanist dream. Beyond the Kremlin efforts, private figures also drive radical projects: Dmitri ITSKOVRussian billionaire, for years a initiative to transfer Human consciousness to artificial supports in 2035, with the promise of an indefinite life. In neighboring Kazakhstan, former president Nursultán Nazarbáyev claimed in 2010 that his scientists They will decipher the secret of immortality, although at 84 he still awaits the fruits of that effort. Examples that illustrate how the aspiration to prolong life has become a recurring obsession between Postsoviet elites. Chinese ambition. Returning to the meeting that took place yesterday with that audio between both leaders, by XI, remembered the New York Times that until now he had avoided public speaking about longevity in such ambitious terms as Putin, but showed that he shares at least the fascination with an extended life. At 72, he has suppressed the limits of mandate and seeks a fourth period in 2027 without having indicated a successor, which makes his physical and political stability intertwined. His reference at 150 years of life would fit his speech of “Take care of the elderly” and guarantee well -being in old age, although in their public image, visible age signals such as gray hair are already made, in contrast to the tradition of leaders that hide their aging. Historical context. Be that as it may, the moment occurred while both leaders, accompanied by Kim Jong-un, ascended to the Tiananmén Gate Tribune to witness a parade that showed The most advanced arsenal from China (Although not everything). That exhibition of military power, together with the conversation captured Random, it reflects the contrast between the ambition to perpetuate itself in power and the ability to project strength globally. The longevity, both personal and political, thus becomes a shared obsession: prolonging life not only of the leaders, but of the power system they represent. Between the sciencesymbolism and geopolitics, the conversation suggests that both Moscow and Beijing see in the “extension” of life a … Read more

The future is filled with AI work stations so you can have your chatgpt at home

by

Acer He has just presented Its Veriton GN100, a small workstation with a single purpose: allow you to train and run local models and without depending on the cloud. The proposal is not entirely new, but points to a future in which the PC mutates to give us that promising ability to have a kind of chatgpt in local. A hardware that sounds like. This team has a GB10 Nvidia chip with Grace Blackwell architecture, and is accompanied by 128 GB of GDDR5 memory and 4 TB of storage. It is practically the same configuration of the workstation NVIDIA DGX Sparkwhich was announced in March but still without being on sale. In that case, the storage was 1 TB, which makes we can have less downloaded models. An upward trend. The new Acer Veriton GN100 is a small step that can confirm an interesting trend: that of being able to enjoy small work stations that are specifically designed so that we can install and even train AI models locally. Flag privacy. That is important above all in privacy: our conversations and use of these models will remain totally private, and there are no data that can end up staying on OpenAi, Google or Anthropic servers, for example. Thus, we can use financial, medical or confidential data without fear to consult with the AI ​​models, because that information does not come out of our team. And potential savings. Not only that: to be able to execute a local AI model allows you to avoid expenses in the use of cloud models, whether we subscribe to plans such as those proposed for example Chatgpt plus As if we use the API and pay for use. With the local model the consultations come out “free” or almost: all we pay is the equipment and its energy consumption. But. The models that we can run at home are open models as call, Deepseek R1, Qwen or The new OpenAi GPT-Oss. With them it is possible to have notable benefits, but it is very difficult to match the quality of the models as GPT-5Gemini or Claude 4 Opus Because these are gigantic models that are executed in data centers with thousands of GPUS. Competing in that sense is practically impossible, but for certain scenarios we simply do not need it, and these Open Source models can be a fantastic alternative. Acer Veriton GN100 Graphic memory to power. The larger the models of the best usually behave, but there is a problem: to be able to use them we need a lot of graphic memory and the current PCs do not stand out in that section. The most powerful graphics for consumers, The GeForce RTX 5090It has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, which is fantastic in bandwidth but limits the size of the models to be executed. Apple has a winning hand. Fortunately we have alternatives and especially the future points to relevant changes in this area. On the one hand we have the Mac Studio with up to 512 GB of unified memory – and also, with an excellent bandwidth – in which it is possible to execute large models Open Source without problems. System Memory bandwidth (GB/s) NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 5090 (GDDR7) 1,792 Mac Studio M3 Ultra (Unified Memory) 819 NVIDIA DGX SPARK (Unified LPDDR5X) 273 Framework Desktop (LPDDR5X memory) 256 But the PCs also begin to aim high. On the other, Teams such as Framework Desktop that have a similar memory system and that include 128 GB of GDDR5 memory also enable that possibility. Nvidia and Acer’s work stations use a very similar scheme and also integrate 128 GB of GDDR5 memory with a decent bandwidth – but not spectacular – for AI applications This promises. We are thus given the potential takeoff of a trend in the PCS market. Until now the manufacturers had specialized in gaming equipment, but the rise of artificial intelligence allows to glimpse a future in which we have “PCs for AI” that have huge amounts of graphic memory and that are perfect for this area. In Xataka | The B300 GPU is the new Nvidia beast for Ia. And we already know what prepares for 2026 and 2027
