ASMR’s videos had become one of the most pleasant places on the Internet. Until the AI ​​arrived

by

If in recent days your feeds In social networks they are full of videos in which someone, with a knife, cuts glass planets, stuffed fruits or precious metals in slices of bread, do not worry. It is the latest generation of hyperrealistic videos made with AI, and have found a reef: extremely relaxing, satisfactory images and sounds and thanks to the possibilities of artificial intelligence, also impossible. An unexpected phenomenon. The simplicity of these tiny videos and how easy it is to elaborate them with models such as I see3 have led to have multiplied exponentially in recent weeks. They are clips of just seconds, with a surreal point, in which we see a cut knife, with extraordinary cleaning, all kinds of objects. The small models of planets (usually are of glass or stone) and other glass foods triumph. The grace is that within these objects there may be any substance or surprise: lava, gelatin, flames nuclei … The AI ​​thus exploits its ability to generate hyperrealistic images, but that the viewer knows that they cannot be real. The result intrigues enough to want to know more and stay to the following video, or enter the multiple profiles that make content of this type. Why here and now. Videos take advantage of the ability to see highly realistic textures in the foreground, allowing a prompt to just five lines and a handful of key concepts Very well chosen (“Extreme Macro Perspective, Sticky Separation with Deep Glugs”, “Rich, Slow and Hypnotic” …) these types of videos are generated quickly. That is, they are multiplying at high speed because advanced technical knowledge is not necessary, everything is automatically generated, and there is room for a certain variety: With some imagination, all kinds of objects and sensations can be recreated. Accounts to start. We assure you that as soon as you see a few accounts of this type, you will not have to make more search efforts: the algorithm will take care of the rest and you will have a real avalanche of videos of this type. But if you want some clues, there are some proper names: Impossibleais (well known and followed, glass food), Sicksicee (objects of all kinds, to each more surreal), ASMR_inventory (Video games related objects) … And more: Element.Slice (elements of the periodic table, with realistic effects), Danielleleto (Spread in bread slices impossible objects), click theaii (An original variant: computer key), slice..imposeible (More absurd glass objects) … the list is endless. Where all this comes from. The ASMR (autonomous meridian sensory response) arose Like a phenomenon on the Internet As of 2007, when personal experiences began to share pleasant sensations induced by certain soft sounds and voices. The term was coined in 2010 by Jennifer Allen to describe that sense of tingling and well -being that mainly caused the whispers and soft noises. The first ASMR videos were homemade recordings, made by fans with basic equipment and an experimental approach, and the content was varied: whispers, beaten, crunch and even role -playing games and simulations of invented situations. Its success and massification allowed the subsequent emergence of technologies such as AI, which are radically transforming the way to create and consume this type of content. In fact, these ASMR of knives cutting all kinds of objects and substances are in turn changing, and we are seeing first planes of mouths and hands manipulating all kinds of textures and food, also playing with the surreal (nibbing glass or stones with lava) Exponential growth. And although we all know these videos and their original success, which gave on foot to discussions and parodies of all kinds, they have nothing to do with this new generation of ASMR created with AI, which has automated the contents and multiplied the variants. At the moment the ASMR made with ia is being sneaking into All Trends analysis of the momentand although it is finally a fleeting fashion, that should not make us forget a very important aspect of the content generated with AI: its ability to reinterpret with impossible images and concepts traditional viral materials, which may come to change completely how we consume content.

The “cold stain” of the North Atlantic is one of the greatest enigmas in the oceanic climate. We may have already solved it

by

There is a region of the North Atlantic that for years intrigue to experts in weather and oceanography. They call her The “cold stain” of the Atlantic And it is a small oasis in an ocean whose waters have been tempered over the years. In a matter of weeks, two studies bring us closer to the resolution of this enigma. Two studies. The two new research published in recent weeks, one in the magazine Communications Earth & Environment And the other in Sciences Advances They address the enigmatic stain and give differentiated but complicitary explanations of the oceanographic dynamics behind this cold spot on the surface of the sea. One of the central axes for both studies is The southern overturning circulation of the Atlantic (AMOC)one of the most important sea currents for the climate on both sides of the “puddle.” A cold stain. The cold stain of the Atlantic is a relatively small region of the ocean surface whose average temperature has dropped (about 0.3º Celsius) instead of ascending as has happened with most surface waters. La Mancha is located south of Greenland, not far from the coasts of Newfoundland, near the waters of the Arctic Ocean. AMOC. Both works indicated directly to the AMOC current as the centerpiece of this climate puzzle. But what is exactly AMOC? The southern overturn circulation of the Atlantic is a current connected to the thermhaline circulation that transports water from north to south and from south to north in the Atlantic Ocean. The North Atlantic the current transports through the surface layers of the ocean the warm waters of tropical latitudes towards high latitudes and the border with the Arctic. Arrival to these latitudes, the water cools and descends to the deepest layers of the ocean, where it is dragged into a current back towards the South Atlantic. This current not only transports water masses of different temperature but also of different salinity: the water of the tropics is warmer more salty than the water in the Arctic environment. A weakened current. He first of the studies He focused on the weakening of this current observed in recent years. In its analysis, the team used direct observations of the current in the last two decades with indirect measures taken throughout the last century in order to “rebuild” the changes in this circulation. They contrasted these data With predictions that different oceanographic models generated under different assumptions. According to its analysis, only a weakened AMOC current could be linked to the data corresponding to compiled observations. “It’s a very robust correlation,” explained in a press release Yuan Li, co -author of the study. “If you look at the observations and compare them with all simulations, only a monoc-debilitated scenario reproduces the cooling in this unique region.” By sea and by air. He Second study He pointed out, however, the weakening of the AMOC current may not be the only relevant factor in the appearance of the Atlantic cold stain. According to this study, the weakening would have been The initial triggerbut the cooling of the stain would have reduced in turn evaporation and moisture in the atmosphere of the region. Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this would have been in turn in the reduction of this effect and therefore a regional cooling. “Reduce the greenhouse effect, so to speak, it will feed back the surface and amplify the existing cold anomaly,” also pointed to a press release Yifei Fan, co -author of this second study.

The US will finally continue selling engines for C919. He has also given China a reason not to need them again

by

USA has given green light to continue selling engines for the Comac C919the plane with which China seeks to challenge the Airbus-Boeing duopoly. But that same decision contains a paradox: it has given Beijin one more reason to move towards Your own autonomy. Who ensures that another restriction is not applied within a few months? What will happen when that plane begins to cross borders? China has been preparing for years. The C919 is not a prototype or a laboratory promise: it is a narrow fuselage aircraft that can accommodate up to 192 seats and boasts a range of between 4,075 and 5,555 kilometers. At the moment they are in service 18 units, but orders multiply. China’s aerial dream flies with western help (for the moment) This ambitious project continues to depend largely on foreign engineering. The flight control system, the brakes, the plane, the auxiliary power unit … A good part of the critical components come from American or European companies. And in the center of everything, the engine: the LEAP-1Cdeveloped by CFM Internationala joint business between the American Ge Aeospace and the French Safran. The United States Department of Commerce Department to reactivate the export licenses of the aforementioned engines is presented as a momentary relief for China, which will be able to comply with the expected delivery deadlines, but also as a signal. As Hugh Ritchie points outCEO of Aviation Analyst International in Australia: “Without access to that technology, in essence US would control the pieces of Chinese airplanes.” China has been learning to read between the lines. Each commercial restriction, each veto, has been interpreted as a notice. When the Trump administration vetoed Huaweithe blow was very real. His market level collapsed and seemed to be out of the game. But far from resigning, Huawei redoubled his technological commitment. In 2025 he has recovered an outstanding place in the marketlaunches phones with own chips such as Kirin 9010 And he has reactivated his muscle in artificial intelligence with his new Ascend 910c. The automotive tells a similar story. For years, Chinese manufacturers dealt with the distrust of the international market. Today, names such as Byd or MG compete in price, design and autonomy with historical manufacturers. It has not been a blow of luck, but the result of a strategy. That is why C919 is not an isolated case. It is part of a pattern. So everything seems to indicate that it is a matter of time for China stop depending on Western engines. He CJ – 1000A It is the name of the engine that develops AECC (Aero Engine Corporation of China) as a national alternative to the LEAP -1C. It is not finished, it is not certified, nor does it have a green light for mass production. But progress silently. LEAP -1C, the western engine used by Chinese mate The plan has been running for years. The prototype It has completed several Tests at Banco Esque 2018. According to Airinsightthe declared objective is that the CJ -1000A is ready to replace the LEAP -1C in the future versions of the C919 throughout this decade. The most optimistic forecasts indicate that the Chinese engine could be certified for commercial flights around 2030, although a 2035 distant is also on the horizon. China has several arguments to continue working in that direction. The Chinese aviation market is one of the largest on the planet, and grows with a speed that few can match. According to the commercial Boeing Market Outlook 2024–2043China will need around 8,600 new commercial airplanes during the next two decades. Comac wants to keep a portion of that demand. And if you get it, you will not need to leave the country to become a relevant actor. That explains why the C919 can be allowed to operate exclusively within China as long as it advances in international certifications. Also why their own engines – although they are not ready tomorrow – have guaranteed an entrance way. An internal market of that size offers something that few economies can ensure: scale. In parallel, Comac does not hide its outer ambition. The European regulator (EASA) estimates that C919 certification could reach between three and six years since 2025which places the possible approval between 2028 and 2031. If you get it, it will finally make the leap out of its borders. Images | Comac | Safran In Xataka | The EkranoPlano was the most delusional plane designed by the USSR.

The vast majority are Chinese

Mark Zuckerberg has a goal and is moving heaven and earth To get it. Dissatisfied with the Meta advances in AIthe CEO set out to create a team of ‘Superinteligencia’ to lead the next great jump of this technology. Offered More than 100 million dollars to the candidates and even has signed OpenAi talent. The thing marches and Zuckerberg already has eleven AI stars in his new team. The striking: seven of them are Chinese and six of them come from Openai. And this without counting Alexandr Wang, the director of the new team and founder of Scale AI. The team. After several weeks starring headlines for his aggressive offers, Zuckerberg already has his superintelligence team, or at least part of him. These are the names of the eleven experts that will be incorporated into the Palo Alto offices: Bi Suchao (ex-openai. China): He was co-creator of the GPT-4O and O4-mini voice mode. Chang Huiwen (Ex-Openai. China): Co-creator of the GPT-4O image generator. Before he worked in Google, where he created Maskit and Muse. Lin Ji (Ex-Openai. China): He worked on the creation of several language models, from GPT-4O to GPT-4.5. He also dealt with the reasoning of Operator. Ren Hongyu (Ex-Openai. China): He helped create several models and led the post-training team. Sun Pei (Ex-Google. China): He was the principal investigator in Deepmind and had an important role in the creation of Gemini. Zhao Shengjia (Ex-Openai. China): He directed the synthetic data program and was key in the creation of Chatgpt. Yu Jiahui (Ex-Openai. China) He led the perception team. Joel Poblar (ex-anthropic. Australia): He worked on the creation of inference systems. Bansal Trapit (Ex-Openai. India): Co-creator of several language models and pioneer of the combination between reinforced learning and ‘chain of thought’. Jack RAE (Ex-Google. United States): Scientific researcher at Deepmind. Johan Schakwyk (formerly. United States): expert in language technologies. He also worked in Google and Maya Leakage talent. The target signing list reveals something we already talked about, China concentrates a lot of specialized talent in AI. According to Jensen Huang statementsCEO of Nvidia, “50% of the world’s researchers are Chinese” and this would give China a great advantage in the AI ​​race. However, if the best engineers end up working for American Big Tech, in practice that advantage may not be so great. As They count on South China Morning Postthe announcement has generated reactions in China. Mainly of pride, but also of concern for the departure of that talent towards its main competitor. It is not an unfounded fear: it is currently estimated that 38% of experts who work in the United States have formed in China. Nevertheless, China has a plan And it is not only to produce more talent, but to do even better. They are already prioritizing races linked to AI and are beginning to integrate training related to primary and secondary schools. The race for AI. The United States was very advanced in AI, so that it seemed unattainable, but recently we have seen how China cut distances. The quality gap is smaller than ever: in just one year they have managed to cut it from 9.26% to 1.7%. Although in the United States they still have many more models, in China they are opting for a more efficient approach with less models, much cheaper and that they are getting very good results. The other victim. We do not forget Openai. At first there was talk that Goal had signed four key employeesbut with the new published names it would be at least seven. In an internal statement, Openai’s research director Mark Chen said “I have a visceral feeling right now, As if someone had sneaked into our house and stole somethingChen also assured that they were not going to stay with crossed arms and would make counteroffers, something that does not seem to have served much. Footballer salaries. Zuckerberg’s strategy to capture talent has been extremely aggressive, offering bonds of up to 100 million dollars to engineers, causing him to make him IA experts become the best paid in history. And not to mention the 14.3 billion dollars that he has allocated to take Scale AI and his young founded Alexandr Wang, whom he has given the leadership of this new team. Now we just have to wait to see the fruits that come out of this Dream Team. Image | Goal and David Yu in Pixabay In Xataka | The AI ​​industry has become a kind of ‘game of thrones’.

The US wants to give up bringing the most valuable samples collected on Mars. Lockheed promises to do it for less than half

by

Since February 2021, The Rover Perseverance patiently travels the Jezero crateran old river basin on the surface of Mars. Over there, where millions of years ago the water flowedNASA Robot It has been collecting fragments of rock and Martian dust With a very specific objective: Find signs of past life. It is not any mission. Is, According to NASA itselfthe first step of an ambitious plan to bring intact samples from another planet. For more than three years, Perseverance has done his job in silence and the samples that Now rest inside of small sealed tubes, carefully deposited on the Martian surface or stored aboard the Rover itself. From space, bread crumbs would look like a trace drawn through a desert planet, hoping to be collected. A truncated promise The plan, known as Mars Sample ReturnI had to send another ship to Mars, launch from there a rocket with the samples and return them to the Earth for analysis in laboratories. But the project began to crumble. An independent review raised the cost estimated until 11,000 million dollars and delayed the possible return of the samples until 2040. In May, the new US administration presented its first budget draft: proposes to cut 24 % of NASA’s financing and cancel Mars Sample Return for considering it an exorbitant cost program. The plan must still go through Congress, but marks a clear turn: the menions manned to deep space are prioritized, such as Artemisand the projects with great budget and scarce immediate return are frozen. With the current budget cut and without guarantees of continuity, NASA decided to reexamine its options. As explained by the former administrator Bill Nelsontwo more viable alternative routes were being evaluated: one that takes advantage of the “Sky Crane” type landing system used successfully in the Curiosity and Perseverance Rovers, and another that opens the door to new proposals from the private sector. Lockheed Martin’s letter Amid the budget uncertainty, one of the great space contractors in the United States has decided to move file. Lockheed Martin, with half a century of experience in missions to Mars, has presented NASA a proposal to execute the Mars Return mission with a radically different approach: for less than 3,000 million dollars and under a fixed price contract. The change is not less. Faced with the traditional model, full of budgetary risks and with multiple public actors involved, Lockheed promises a simpler architecture. Its proposal includes a more compact landing module, based on the ship Insight that already touched Martiano soil in 2018a lighter and lighter ascent vehicle – designed to be the first to take off from another planet – and a system of re -entry to the land derived from missions such as Genesis, Stardust and Osiris-Rex. It is a commitment goes beyond engineering. Being a “Firm-Fixed Price” contract, Lockheed Martin is responsible for absorb any possible extra cost. That is, if something is complicated, the invoice does not rise. According to the company itself, that model has already proven effective in other scientific missions of deep space, where they even managed to return part of the NASA not used budget. The message is clear: if NASA wants to save its most ambitious mission without spending, Lockheed Martin is ready to lead it. Bringing back about thirty small tubes could help us answer one of humanity’s great questions. Was Mars ever inhabited? Scientists do not seek fossils or complex structures. They look for subtle indications that can only be analyzed with the level of precision allowed by land laboratories. And for that, the samples that Perseverance has collected are not any rock. They have been selected one by one depending on their location, their age, their composition and their geological context. Are, In Nasa’s own wordsthe most likely material to contain a Martian “biofirm.” But the value of these samples goes beyond the biological. They can reveal how the wet marte of 3.5 billion years ago was, how its climate evolved, why it became an arid and inhospitable planet, and how the geological, atmospheric and chemical processes interacted for millennia. They will also tell us what resources could take advantage of future manned missions: where it is safer to land, what materials are usable, what areas have risks.

A Chinese firm has just presented a quadruped that challenges the limits. Boston Dynamics no longer has a clear path

by

In a world where the focus seems to be in humanoids as Tesla optimus or the ‘nurse’ robot that already works in a Taiwan hospitala new generation of machines is winning its place. They are fast, resistant and are beginning to show that they can do much more than impress in videos. One of them has just run 100 meters as if their future depended on it, and is Chinese. Quadruped robots also compete. For years, the conversation about advanced robotics has been monopolized by biped figures. Robots that move as humans. But there is another way: that of robots that do not try to imitate us, but overcome ourselves in other areas. The quadrupeds, for example, have been demonstrating its usefulness in difficult terrain, repetitive tasks and, now also, in speed tests. A challenging career. It was just a moment, but it didn’t go unnoticed. How global aims aimduring a live broadcast of Chinese state television, a four -legged robot aligned on an athletic track prepared for something unusual: a 100 -meter race. When the stopwatch was launched, Black Panther II did, the new robot developed by the startup Mirror Me. He completed the route in 13.17 seconds, which is equivalent to an average speed of 7.6 m/s. In that same test, the robot sensors registered a peak of 9.7 m/s, and the company claims to have reached 10.9 m/s in previous internal tests. If that data is confirmed, we would be facing one of the fastest quadrupeds. Is it the fastest in the world? It depends on how you look. The figures invite to breastfeed, but it is always key to put them in context. Black Panther II reached 10.9 m/s in an internal test, which is equivalent to about 39.2 km/h. During the televised race, the registered peak was 9.7 m/s (34.9 km/h). Both figures exceed the official Wildcat,That according to the Boston Dynamics website reaches 30.6 km/h. For its part, the robot Cheetah – also from Boston Dynamics – reached 45.6 km/h (12.6 m/s) In laboratory tests. The demonstration, collected in an official video, was made on a running tape with external food and physical support to maintain balance. Even so, the data remains the highest technical reference registered by a quadruped. With that data, Black Panther II would be below the Cheetah – at least in tip speed – but clearly above Wildcat. In other words: it is one of the fastest quadrupeds ever built, although its brands have not yet been officially certified. For now, the formal title is maintained by the Hound robot, of the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology of Korea, which completed 100 meters in 19.87 seconds (about 18 km/h), As stated in the Guinness book. A young startup with very clear ideas. Mirror’s story didn’t start a long time ago. The company was founded in May 2024 in Shanghai by a group of professors and graduates from the University of Zhejiang. One of the founders is Jin Yongbin, a researcher at the Institute of Innovation in Humanoid Robots, while his partner, Wang Hongtao, is a university professor with trajectory in advanced robotics. In just one year, this startup has gone from developing robotic arms and mechanical hands to compete publicly with companies such as Boston Dynamics. Beyond the Black Panther II, Mirror already works on new prototypes. Among them, a fast bipedo in 2026 and a humanoid that, according to their plans, could act as a personal assistant for the year 2030.

If it is better to do it side or mouth

by

The time comes to sleep, you lie in bed, close your eyes and start the dance from one side to another. But what really is the best posture? First one side, but it does not end how to fit; Up it seems that it is a bit strange, and then you return to the other side until, in the end, by tiredness, one ends up sleeping. Although the posture – which we usually ignore – can make a difference in a repairing and a poor rest. It’s not just closing your eyes. According to a study Posted in Handbook of Clinical Neurology (2011)we spend a third of our life sleeping or trying to do it. According to Mayo Clinicduring that time the body “repairs and recharges.” However, more and more studies show that not all sleeping positions are the same, since the position can condition our short and long term health. A common problem, but little visible. Sleeping badly does not show when you wake up. Sometimes it crawls during the day: fatigue, lack of concentration, physical discomfort. A recent National Geographic report I pointed That a bad posture when sleeping can aggravate common ailments such as back pain or reflux, and complicate more serious ones, such as sleep apnea. Dr. Meir Kryger, a specialist in sleep medicine and professor emeritus at Yale, warned that, when it is not, this apnea can affect mood, memory, blood pressure and even increase the risk of death. What is the ideal position? Most sources consulted coincide: side, and if possible, on the left. This position is associated with less lumbar pain, less snoring and better digestion. According to HeathlineHe stressed that he can also facilitate breathing and contribute to the proper functioning of the brain. Dr. W. Christopher Winter, In statements collected by the BBCHe explained that this position prevents the aorta artery from being compressed and facilitates venous return, which improves circulation. In addition, this position can be of great help to pregnant women. As has detailed MAY CLINIC, Sleep on that side in the last quarter of pregnancy avoids the compression of the vena cava and favors blood flow to the placenta and the fetus. The most common error. It usually appears on hot nights, when the body seeks freshness and ends up lying on my back, without knowing that it is choosing the worst posture. Dr. Lois Krahn, Accessed by Mayic Cliniche has detailed that sleeping mouth can get the apnea of ​​sleep by allowing the language and jaw to fall back and obstruct the airway. However, the other option: sleeping face down, is not recommended. According to Healthlinethis position can generate pain in the neck and back, since it forces to twist the head and compress the thorax, hindering breathing. This can lead to chronic pain. Forgotten allies. Not everything is reduced to posture. As Dr. Cherney explained in Heathline, the type of mattress imports and the pillow also imports. On the one hand, a mattress too soft makes the joints sink, while a very hard one can be uncomfortable and not adapt to body shape. On the other hand, it recommends using an ergonomic pillow between the knees for those who sleep from side, since it favors vertebral alignment and avoids tension in the hip and lower back. In addition, he warned that when sleeping on his side the head should be aligned with his shoulders and never tilted towards the chest, since that causes cervical pain. A health act. Sleeping well does not depend only on the number of hours. It also influences, and much, the way we place the body every night. The medical evidence clearly points out that sleeping sideways – and especially on the left – can make a real difference in sleep quality. It is not a fashion or a soft recommendation: it is a matter of health that affects breathing, digestion and deep rest. And even if it costs more in summer, with heat or with more, it is worth trying. Sometimes, the body only needs a good side. Image | Pexels Xataka | Australia created the world’s first climate visa.

The Canary Islands gave 24 tons of sand from La Palma volcano to Madrid. Now Madrid doesn’t know what to do with them

by

Madrid has 24 tons of volcanic sand of the palm with which he does not know very well what to do. It sounds strange, but that is the peculiar outcome with which the consular and capital governments have been found after an initiative designed to value the Canarian cultural heritage in the Peninsula. The idea worked, but has ended up leaving that peculiar inheritance: bags and more bags of dark ash that accumulate dust (and controversy) without a clear destination. We explain ourselves. Presuming culture. May 17 was a day to frame in the history of Canarian culture. Or at least in one of its most popular disciplines: The Canarian fighta sport that hurts its roots in the first settlers of the islands. His practice is very popular in the archipelago, but not so much out. Hence, on May 17, as part of the Month of the Canary Islandsthe Government promoted A milestone In the discipline: the first day of official Canarian struggle in Madrid. FIGHTERS AND MUCH (MUCH) ARENA. For the appointment, fighters of the Saladar de Jandía and the Candelaria de Mircatwo key teams of the discipline that were measured in the twentieth day of the DISA Tournament of the Canary Islands. And something else: tons of volcanic sand transported from the palm to cover the pitch. The idea was to give even more epic to the appointment carrying a piece of the Canary Islands (literally) to Madrid and deploying it in the middle of Callao, where the Canarian fighters were measured. A 24 tons “ring”. The idea worked. The photos Shared by the Canarian government (with volcanic sand covering callus) they are fascinating and also show that the appointment attracted a good handful of curious. To host them, even a portable stand with capacity for 200 spectators. The event was also attended by President Fernando Clavijo along with regional positions and representatives of the institutional, sports and social life of the archipelago. In case that was not enough, the Executive took care of the last detail. Any type of volcanic sand was not transported to Madrid. No. The authorities chose ashes from the island of La Palma that were generated during the Tajogaite eruption In 2021. “The youngest of the islands, chosen as a symbol of identity, roots and renewal,” the Canarian government insisted in its community. In total some mobilized some 24 tonsaccording to the institution itself. And what happened to that sand? The fight was held on May 17, Jandía’s Salader won the Candelaria de Mirca in a fierce encounter (12-10), but … and then? What happened to tons of volcanic sand? That is the question that was asked recently eldiario.es, which after consulting with the Madrid City Council reached an amazing conclusion: the bags seemed to have vanished. “Without a trace of the 24 tons”, He titled The newspaper. The news was even more striking because, as confirmed by the regional government, the agreement contemplated that, after the May fight, the 24,000 kilos of ash were ceded to the Madrid City Council so that it could cover with it the fields of beach volleyball. From the Consistory they assured however not to have proof of that initiative. I wasn’t dead … It was not the last chapter of the curious soap opera of the traveling volcanic sand. On Saturday Eldiario.es published again Another revelation About the 24 tons of Tajogaite: the material was not lost by Madrid, but stored in work bags in a Torrelodones industrial ship. The reason? Although the initial idea was to allocate the sand to Madrid Volleyball courts, the authorities of the capital came to the conclusion that it was not a good idea to give it that use. His grains may serve for a Canarian fighting fight, but in the opinion of Madrid technicians they tend to heat up easily, which led the authorities to rule it out for the courts. And what will it be used for? It doesn’t seem to be very clear. At least according to the information handled by eldiario.es, which ensures that the Department of the Environment is looking for an adequate destination for the Canarian gift. The bags are also waiting for the Consistory Ultime for a collaboration agreement to accept the material, which, a priori, will have environmental use. In the authorization of the Cabildo it is noted that the material “lacks commercial value”, although as He put value The Canarian government does have a symbolic value.

load the chips with 18A

by

Lip-bu Tan, that for a few months He took Pat Gelsinger’s witness As Executive Director of Intel, he is considering An important strategic turn in its chips manufacturing division. The play goes through betting directly on the 14th technology instead of The 18A processin which his predecessor Pat Gels had invested billions of dollars. It would not be the first time that Intel leaves a manufacturing node in this way. A crisis that is maintained despite the change of leader. Intel has been losing ground in front of TSMC for years, the Taiwanese giant who dominates the manufacture of chips for colossal clients such as Apple or Nvidia. That the company has shown signs of wanting to focus on the following manufacturing node and abandon the 18A process (in force for its next Panther Lake processors) represents one of the most risky movements to try to recover competitiveness in a sector where Intel has ceased to be a leader after decades of domain. The strategy of such. Since assumed office in Marchthe new CEO has acted quickly to reduce costs and find new growth paths. Its proposal is to concentrate resources in the 14A process, considered more competitive in the face of TSMC technologies, and slow down the 18A marketing to external clients. This decision could involve throwing hundreds of millions, or even billions, dollars in investments already made. The risks are huge. Leaving the 18th would mean assuming millionaire losses due to the investments made, but maintaining it could further away to the great clients that Intel needs for their contract manufacturing division. The company already He has committed Small 18A production volumes with Amazon and Microsoft, but these contracts would not change with the new strategy. The financial context. Intel is going through one of the deepest crises in its history. In 2024 he registered his first year with losses since 1986, with red numbers of 18.8 billion dollars. The company has already fired more than 15,000 employees Since 2024 and planned to cut between 8,000 and 10,900 additional workers from its factories between June and July. What comes now. The Board of Directors of Intel will analyze the options proposed by so at its meeting this month, although the final decision could be delayed until autumn given the complexity of the matter. Meanwhile, Intel will continue to use the 18th for his own chips and fulfill the commitments already acquired with some clients, but the future of their manufacturing division will depend on whether it manages to convince the market that the 14th can really compete with TSMC.
