Men and women are “better” separately

by

We do not go through the branches. The truth is that birth rates are below the replacement level In the US and Europe since the 70s. In these last 30 years, the entire world came behind. Today, analysts like Fernández-Villaverde They are convinced That since 2023, humanity does not reach the replacement rate. But why? A fight without barracks. Hundreds of researchers have that question hanging in the cork of their offices. We have seen Many theories and many of them focus on one thing: the emancipation of women and the increase in their autonomy; But Claudia Goldin has an interesting idea. Goldin argues that, although that is important, the key comes from a mismatch between the wishes of men and women. A delicate balance. Goldin Notice That as of the 70s, the increases in productivity and social flexibility allowed societies to be more diverse: the social costs associated with the rupture of traditions were lower (often, radically lower) to those of periods of attention. However, the benefits of breaking those traditions are not the same for everyone. In aggregate terms, Always according to Goldinmen “benefit more from maintaining traditions; women benefit more than avoiding them.” The interesting thing is that they are apparently non -cooperative strategies. What does this imply? That only to the extent that one does not yield, the other has no reason to do so. That is, “when the probability that men abandon traditions is low, some professional women will not have children and others will delay them, often too much.” It makes sense: the raising of a child is a very complex task and “tradition” does that work in women. If the father does not accept to assume part of that work, it is very expensive for women, they can assume parenting and professional development. And, given that dilemma, many opt for the second. But why? Because the problem is another. A previous one, in fact. And having children has a fundamental characteristic: that cannot be reversed. A priori, one can park his professional career at any time, but he cannot ‘park’ the children. That means that women have to have clear signs that their partners are reliable and the truth is that in a context in which men can opt at any time for a non -cooperative strategy, these signs are something complicated to determine. That is what is behind all this, According to Goldin. And it is also what complicates its resolution. If it exists. After all, none of the great episodes of birth growth (after 39 in the US, after 1945 in almost all the nations that fought in World War II, after the prohibition of abortion in Romania in 1967, etc …) were intense, surprising and, above all, short. For Goldinuntil an institutional structure is achieved in which cooperation between men and women is the best option for both, nothing will solve the birth fall.

Ukraine has invoked what Russia vetoed since the beginning of the war. And he told the US to tighten the button: Tomahawk

by

Distances in modern wars are nuclear issues. In Ukraine it was very clear in November 2024, when the world held thinking that Putin finally had “tightened” the button. So, A few kilometers They were key for the Moscow missile not to activate all red lines. That is why also, since the invasion of 2022, a name that kyiv has just invoked as one of the greatest orders to Russia has rarely jumped to the fore. Tomahawks in Ukraine. USA Study seriously The request of the Ukrainian President Zelenski to incorporate cruise missiles Tomahawk To his arsenal, a step that would be an unprecedented escalation in the war. These missiles, with a range of between 1,500 and 2,500 kilometers according to the versions, would be able to reach Moscow and much of the Russian territory from Ukrainian soil, which would represent a qualitative change with respect to the current kyiv capacities, based mainly on long -range drones and the limited ones Atacms missiles previously authorized by Washington. The possibility of its delivery reflects the turn of the Donald Trump administration, which until recently was reluctant to extend the conflict, but now transmits a more belligerent speech: for its special envoy Keith Kellogg “There are no sanctuaries” and Ukraine should be able to hit Russia deeply to alter the dynamics of war. The Russian answer. From Moscow, the statements were received with an alarm and challenge mixture. Spokesman Dmitri Peskov recognized that the Kremlin was carrying out an “in -depth analysis” about the implications of an eventual supply of Tomahawks, raising questions about who would control its launch and the selection of objectives: if exclusively the Ukrainians or if there were American personnel involved, which would bring the scenario closer to a direct confrontation between powers. Besides, warned thateven if these missiles will be delivered, “there is no panacea” capable of rooting the situation on the front, where Russia claims to be constantly moving forward. The implicit message is that, even before a technological leap, Moscow would maintain the military initiative and not give in western blackmail. Reprisals and a shadow. The Russian political class went further in their warnings. The president of the Parliament Defense Committee, Andrei Kartapolov, said that any US military specialist who participated in operations with Tomahawks would become reprisal objective direct, “and no one can protect them, neither Trump nor Kellogg nor anyone else.” Similarly, Putin He has repeated On previous occasions that Russia reserves The right to attack military facilities in third European countries if attacks against their territory are facilitated. The threat is not less: it would make NATO base white, with an obvious risk of climbing towards a direct conflict of greater size. Even Dmitri Medvedev, in his usual tone, He warned that Europe “It cannot afford a war with Russia”, but that “the risk of a fatal accident always exists”, in reference to the possible trigger for a greater confrontation from an error of calculation or a crossing of red lines. Tomahawk Change of American course. No doubt, the reconsideration of the supply of Tomahawks to Ukraine symbolizes a Turn in the strategy United States. During the presidency of Biden, Washington was extremely cautious, Limiting to reluctant The use of Atacms within the Russian territory and fearing to trigger an uncontrolled escalation. Under Trump, however, the speech has mutated: he starts talking about Ukraine as Able to win the warRussia is qualified as “paper tiger” and Multiply the pressure For European allies to also contribute with long -range missiles, such as German bullfighting. Former Lithuanian Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis He stressed That these weapons would not only give Ukraine greater control, but also allow “marking the tone” of the climb, instead of letting it be Moscow who unilaterally decides the depth of the attacks. Atacms Military Comparison: Atacms. The debate on which long -range missiles should receive Ukraine is not only political, but deeply technical and strategicbecause each system offers different possibilities on the battlefield. In front of Tomahawk, the Atacms, already used by Ukraine, is a tactical ballistic missile launched since Himars systems either M270. Its most widespread versions can reach 300 km. HE They use above all to hit deposits of ammunition, aerodromes and troops concentrations behind the immediate lines of the front. Its impact has been remarkable by forcing Russia to displace its more logistics centers within, but its limited scope leaves most of the Russian strategic rear. For Moscow, the difference with a Tomahawk is abysmal: while the Atacms forces to retreat a few hundred kilometers, a Tomahawk would put all its military and political apparatus at risk. Taurus Kepd 350 Military comparative: Taurus Kepd 350. He Taurusjointly developed by Germany and Sweden, it is an aerial cruise missile launched from combat planes such as The Tornado or the Eurofighter. Its estimated scope is 500 km, with a penetration eyelet designed to destroy bunkers, landing clues and strongly protected objectives. His ultrabajo flight profile and his capacity for electronic evasion make it especially difficult to intercept. Ukraine has been claiming these missiles for some time, although Berlin He has shown reluctance for the risk of being used to attack on Russian soil. In case of reaching Kiev, they would give the Ukrainian Air Force the ability to attack with great precision key military facilities such as aerodromes, barracks or weapons deposits in areas that until now remained out of reach. Strategic implications. The essential difference is In the scope: Atacms offer a tactical radius limited to the immediate area of ​​the front, the Taurus would allow to hit deeply in the Russian operational rear, and the Tomahawk would open the possibility of strategic attacks to the entire interior of the country, including its large urban and military centers. This reach staircase translates into different levels of climbing: while the attacks are perceived as a weapon of containment and wear, the Taurus already touch the capacity for operational denial and the Tomahawk cross directly to the field of strategic deterrence, … Read more

“They replicated the movie’s message”

by

Few special effects designers have impacted both the world of cinema and him. If the eighties and nineties were aesthetically dominated by Industrial Light & Magic and the colorful and naive mastodon of the George Lucas company, The new century greeted a new generation of science fiction films and its effects. The flag bearer of that change was’Matrix‘And the impressive, even today impeccable digital tricks of John Gaeta. And although Gaeta went down in history for his revolutionary Bullet Time that allowed to capture scenes in a virtual space that could be digitally manipulable, a technique for which he won an Oscar to the best visual effects, his work was Beyond this foundational trilogyin films like ‘The curious case of Benjamin Button’ and ‘Avatar‘. He is one of the founders of Ilmxlab, a specialized Lucasfilm division in virtual reality and mixed reality, and we have had the opportunity to chat with him on all these issues during the Comic-with Malaga. Of course, we have no choice but to ask how you see His own role as absolute classic of the history of special effects. He tells us that “‘Matrix’ initiated a new chapter in the volumetric media: the real world was incorporated, including actors and characters, to a prototypic form of simulation.” But he did not understand it as a simulation, but as “a three -dimensional version of a real scene or moment.” And that fit the idea of ​​the film, where “we do not understand that we are already within the simulation.” That is, and there was greatness: the special effects took into account the argument and message of the film: if in the future the machines wanted to simulate the real world, they had to capture it visually and translate it: “we would have to capture the real world and translate it in some way to spatial media, computer graphics. And that was where we began to include the capture of actors.” Of course, technical difficulties began: “These things were like sculptures. They were not interactive or dynamic,” and had to create it from zero. “I think ‘Matrix’,” he concludes, “it was a catalyst event in the new medium form, a potential medium.” And therefore, sequences like that in which neo dodges the bullets are more than an exhibition of technical expertise: “That moment represents how your mind is imposed on matter, on Matrixthere is a certain self -realization. It is able to control the simulation that manipulated its reality, it is a decisive moment. And we needed to show something never seen, something supernatural, and that the viewer was witness. The future of effects When we ask about the future of special effects, it is very clear that they are in AI, something that is not surprising taking into account that it is currently immersed in the direction of Escape.aia platform that drives audiovisual narration with artificial intelligence. With it it intends to democratize the creation of content: “In the next ten years we will see the union of all media (from the cinema to other immersive such as virtual reality or video games) in a single multimodal medium thanks to AI.” What we are seeing now is just the beginning, “Once the generative AI is not as simplistic as it is currentlywhich is trained in two -dimensional passive media to simulate them. “What is that future, then?” When it begins to be much deeper when acquiring space intelligence, physical intelligence and scientific intelligence (because it will be trained for different purposes by scientists, educators, governments …), we will have the possibility of accessing entertainment that will no longer only consist of contemplating in a passive way. “ And that absence of passivity of the spectator (which will no longer be a spectator, according to Gaeta), is what the AI ​​will bring us: “Literally, we can say: ‘Well, now I do not want anyone who predetermines the content of this virtual world that has already shown me a story. I want to move away, turn around the corner, enter this world and start interacting with the characters and even play in this environment, or do what you want.” Gaeta blindly trusts the possibilities of AI to generate these completely interactive immersive worlds and that are created according to the user’s needs .. And this comes, of course, with SU batch of corresponding risks, on which Gaeta is reluctant to speak. But finally, he grants that “it is scary, it is exciting at the same time. It has always happened. As the technology with which cars were manufactured, which replaced the horses and is the same that ended up leading to the manufacture of tanks, and that is scary. It was supposed to be a great educator, and it turned out to be a device of distortion of reality. Everything has a price” “Technology is a double -edged sword, so there will be people who use things for good and create extraordinary things, solutions, inspiration, and then there will be evil people, who always exist, who will explode, try to enslave, try to destroy.” Gaeta is clear: “We have to be mature about it and know that technology always ends up revealing that duality.” In Xataka | Matrix was the first film to portray a real hacking.

CUDA is the standard that grips the world and Nvidia is the only company with chips capable of running it. Until now

by

Goal will acquire rivos, a Californian startup specialized in the design of chips based on RISC-Vaccording to sources of Bloomberg. In addition to the capabilities of its chips, the operation is part of a broader strategy: free itself from the NVIDIA dependence and thus take control of its infrastructure for artificial intelligence without its chips. What is at stake. Throughout these last years, Nvidia has dominated the GPUS market For the thanks to CUDAits owner development platform that has become the de facto standard to train and execute artificial intelligence models. Today, we have reached the point that whoever wants to make a large scale needs Nvidia chips, and that gives the company a huge market power, since they put the necessary hardware for an industry in which everyone wants to enter. Goal, despite having some of the best open models in the sector with Callskeep spending billions annually in Nvidia hardware. The strategic movement. With rivos, goal not only buys a company, buy an alternative to the current technological stack. The startup Develop GPUS and RISC-V-based acceleratorsan open source architecture standard that threatens the traditional X86 (Intel and AMD) and ARM. Goal already works in its own internal chip, the goal Training and Inference Accelerator (Mtia), designed next to Broadcom and manufactured by TSMC, but the advances are not as fast as Zuckerberg would like. According to sources cited by Bloombergthe CEO would have been actively looking for market reinforcements to accelerate development. It is not the only one. Goal adds to a career in which their technological rivals already have an advantage. Google has His tpusAmazon has Trainium and Microsoft has developed Maia. The AI ​​war does not win only with the best models, but also With the chip that executes them And goal, despite being burning hundreds of billions of dollars in AI, it was staying behind in this front. The context. Rivas acquisition is not an isolated movement. Target there was already tried to buy furiosaaia South Korean startup specialized in chips to train AI systems, but the offer of 800 million dollars was rejected. In addition, the company has recently announced An investment of 29,000 million dollars To build a huge data center in Louisiana and plan to spend up to 72,000 million this year on infrastructure related to AI. The RISC-V challenge. Rivas represents an ambitious bet. Although RISC-V has not yet managed to penetrate massively into US data centers (its presence is mainly limited to microcontrollers and IoT devices), its potential is undeniable. China is already launching tablets and laptops with this architecture. If Meta manages to develop an AI accelerator based on RISC-V capable of replacing The NVIDIA H200 In its internal operations, it would be a considerable blow for the dominant standard.

What is, what differs and how much Amazon’s new operating system arrives for its Fire TV

by

Come on, explain what is Vega Osthe new Amazon operating system for its Fire TV devices. This is the most drastic software movement that Amazon has given in recent years, although we still do not know its arrival date in Spain. But so you can know what is coming, let’s tell you everything we know On this operating system, as well as the data of its operation and the differences with the current fire. What is Vega Vega is an operating system created by Amazon for its Fire TV devices. Internally it has been known simply as “Vega” during its development, which has been running since 2023. Until now, Amazon TV devices used Fire OS, which was a Android version modified by the company. However, Vega is a system created from scratchwith which they seek to become independent of Google and have more freedom when creating a really optimized system. Like Android, Vega is also based on GNU/Linux, and is the one who It already works on devices such as echo show. In fact, it is designed to run in a wide variety of devices. How differs from fire Vega’s main feature is that it uses react native as a framework for applications, which should facilitate power Create apps with JavaScript For the system. With this, Amazon should be able to have an ecosystem of applications and software, which is lighter than Android applications. To understand it better, what you have right now on your Fire TV is an Android modified by Amazon. The company can make many changes, but it will always have to start from the Android base, a system designed to work on many devices, and that can have things that are simply not needed for the Fire. By having a completely own operating system that is not based on Android, Amazon will be able optimize it to the maximum For the specific hardware of its devices. This will make everything work faster and fluid. It becomes like thinking about the differences between Android and iOS, if the iPhone usually go more fluid on many occasions, it is because their operating system is created exclusively for their phones, while Android has to be able to function for all. It is something similar to why Windows may seem sometimes heavier than macOS. However, Amazon will have an important problem. The good thing about having an Android -based system is that you can use existing applications for Android TV or Google TV. Meanwhile, now they will have to convince developers to create apps from scratch destined for Vega Os. The other great focus of this new system is in The complete redesign of the interfacewith which Amazon aims to simplify access to the content to make it more immediate. In addition, you will also have a new live TV guide with up to 10 custom recommendations according to your tastes. You will also have the option of saving movies and series of different services in one place. When Vega arrives The device in charge of giving the exit gun with Vega is the Fire TV Stick 4K Selectwhich can already be reserved in Spain. However, There is no arrival date in Spain of this system. This means that you will first buy the device with Fire TV, and then Vega Os should arrive. The normal thing is that when Vega Os arrives, I do it through a software update. Come on, you will get an update to the Fire TV, and this will change the current system for the new one. Then, it is also expected to get to the rest of Fire TV. In Xataka Basics | Alexa+: What is Amazon’s new intelligent assistant, how it works and what is its price and availability

false videos of yourself being the protagonist

by

Openai has just discovered the formula of definitive addiction. It is not just about watching videos of people like you (that trick was already dominated by Tiktok), it is about seeing yourself being the protagonist of each clip. Cameos, the new function of Sora 2converts the experience of passive consumption into something tremendously narcissistic: a Feed infinite where tU face appears constantly doing things you never did, in places where you were neverliving lives that you never lived. Mechanics is simple: You record your face once. You verify your identity. And from there any friend to who describes can insert you into their creations. The result is a social validation laboratory where the ‘digital self’ eclipses the ‘real I’. Adolescents, already vulnerable to identity distortion produced existing in parallel realities more attractive than yours. The precedent is there: when Openai launched the Ghibli style filters, Millions of users flooded the networks with animated versions of themselves. It was a moment of collective, but ephemeral euphoria. Sora 2 It does not offer a moment but an ecosystem. A place where the content is not exhausted because the content is you, Infinitely remezable, eternally protagonist. The difference between seeing others and seeing yourself is abysmal and that is why the Instagram walls were full of photos made with the rear camera and now of photos made with the front camera. Permanent self -promotion. Tiktok hackea the reward circuit showing you similar people, Sora 2 short circuits: Each video is an improved mirror. OpenAI has built parental controls, water marks, permissions revocation systems. Everything is designed to mitigate obvious risks. But real risk is not punctual use, it is The normalization of living in a reality manufactured Where your digital version is always more interesting than your real version. It is technology that understands too well how we work, what are the weak points of our psyche in this era. And that understanding is more addictive than anything we have seen so far.

In 48 hours the Gaza conflict will take a 360 degree turn. And some options were science fiction just a few days ago

by

Trump, accompanied by Netanyahu, has presented An ambitious plan of peace that seeks to end almost two years of war in Gaza, releasing Israeli hostages and opening a reconstruction process under international supervision. Its scheme demands the surrender of Hamas, the total disarmament and its political exclusion, offering in return the release of about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the massive entry of humanitarian aid. TO Your ultimatum He has hours left for the conflict of a 360 degree turn. An unexpected plan. Unlike previous proposals that were limited to partial truces, the one now intends a definitive cessation of hostilities, with a period of just 72 hours (now about 48) so that Hamas delivers all captives. Israel would keep troops in A safety corridor Within Gaza and in damping areas, but it would commit to partial replication, while a Palestinian Technical Committee Under the tutelage of A “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and with Tony Blair in a prominent role. The project, prepared in consultations with Israel, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has been qualified by the White House as the most realistic route to close the war and redraw the future of the strip. The concessions to Netanyahu. Netanyahu achieved, to a large extent, Impose your conditions: Hamas would be out of any future administration, the Palestinian authority would only have a hypothetical role subject to drastic reforms, and the creation of a Palestinian state would be deferred to an indefinite horizon. If you want, for the Israeli prime minister, internationally cornered after European recognitions of a Palestinian State and after the Boicot in the United Nationsit was a kind of Rare Diplomatic Victoria: together with Trump he was able to show that he still controls the times and that Washington supports his “total victory” strategy. The right. However, this same position opens cracks within Israel, where the radical right accuses the government of Claudicar by accepting a plan with Symbolic concessions to the Palestinian cause and with the introduction of foreign forces in Gaza. Smotrich and Ben-Gvir They have warned that could demolish the coalition if the agreement becomes a definitive peace that freezes the military offensive, which predicts political turbulence that Netanyahu tries to dodge with procedure maneuvers, such as avoiding taking the entire plan to the vote of the security cabinet. The pressure on Hamas. For Hamas, The proposal is lethal In political terms: he would mean the end of his domain in Gaza after almost two decades, the disarmament of his brigades and the delivery of his last hostages without guarantees of future influence. Even so, the group faces an unpublished pressure: Türkiye, Qatar and Egypt have expressed support for the plan and warn that Hamas’s time runs out. Many analysts They point that the direction of the militia seeks a “decent landing” that saves part of its paintings and avoid total annihilation, but any acceptance of the agreement would mean cross the red lines He has always proclaimed, especially the maintenance of his armed arm. In that context, Trump launched that public ultimatum: “Three or four days” to answer, accompanied by the threat that Hamas will “pay in hell” if he rejects the offer. The dilemma for Islamist leaders is clear: giving and surviving politically in exile or resisting and risking that Israel resumes an even more devastating offensive. The Arab mediators. In this case, Arab countries have gone from rhetoric to direct involvement. Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar have transmitted to Washington and Israel A list of conditions: No to the annexation of Gaza, not to the forced displacement of Palestinians, not to new settlements, and yes to a horizon of Palestinian self -determination. Although Trump’s plan does not fully satisfy these demands, he has incorporated concessions as the mention of a possible “credible route towards Palestinian self -determination” if the Palestinian authority undertakes reforms. The paradox is that the authority itself, weakened and discredited, has Backed the plan With enthusiasm, accepting to review your textbooks, eliminate payments to prisoners and open to international scrutiny in order not to be excluded. For Arab states, the priority is close the war frontcontain humanitarian drift and keep the prospects for the solution of two states alive, even in a rhetorical framework. Internal risks in Israel. We said it before, the agreement threatens to fracture The Israeli coalition. While the centrist opposition supports him as a realistic basis to recover hostages and stop the war, the ultra -nationalist parties perceive it as an inadmissible assignment. The fear of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir is that to accept international forces and a Palestinian administration, even if it is technocratic, EROSIONE ISRAELI CONTROL and leave the door open to a future Palestinian state. Netanyahu tries to keep the Delicate balance: Present the agreement as a triumph in Washington and before the international community, but reassuring its right -wing base ensuring that Israel will retain military presence in Gaza and will never allow a sovereign Palestinian state. This double discourse reflects the fragility of your government, increasingly dependent on maintaining the security narrative against external demands. Trump’s disappointment. The change in tone of Trump himself to Israel does not cease to be striking. In private And in recent statements, the US president has shown An unusual anger with Netanyahu for unilateral attacks that have put the mediation of Washington, such as the bombardment in Doha against Hamas leaders when a fire was discussed. Trump se Feel disappointed So consider a lack of reciprocity: while he has sustained Israel in the international arena, Netanyahu has acted so that weakens the strategy North American diplomatic. This disenchantment, also applicable To the “Russian friend” In the Ukraine War, explains the Plan turnwhich is no longer just a blank check for Israel, but a frame with commitments and deadlines, in which it is even mentioned, even if it is vaguely, the perspective of a Palestinian state. Gaza under international administration. Thus, things, the plan also opens the … Read more

The Neoclouds promised to democratize the AI. Right now are the most fragile and indebted link in the entire sector

by

Coreweave, Lambda Labs, Crusoe and Nebius They represent the most booming and also more fragile link in the AI ​​value chain: Neoclouds. These companies have raised tens of billions in capital and debt to build Data centers full of NVIDIA GPUSbut its business model rests on an increasingly questionable premise: that the demand for computing capacity to continue to grow exponentially. Why is it important. The problem is not just that these companies lose money. Is that its financial structure depends on a vicious circle: They raise debt to buy GPUS. They use those GPUS as a guarantee for more debt. And the money they enter comes mostly from the same companies that sell them the chips and lend them the money. The model. The Neoclouds They came promising GPU infrastructure in months, no years, already prices up to 66% cheaper than AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. The proposal sounded well: companies needed GPUS and Hyperscalers (AWS, Azure and Company) did not supply. The market responded with enthusiasm: Coreweave went from billing 16 million dollars in 2022 to 5,350 million in the last year. Nebius (which has exploded in the stock market and whose germ is Yandex) grew from 5 million quarterly to 105 million. The segment Neocloud As a whole, 82% per year has grown in the last four years. The problem of the single client. Coreweave generated 60% of its 2024 revenues by renting capacity to Microsoft for Openai. Only Microsoft. Nvidia represents another 15%. If you eliminate a The magnificent seven already openai of the accounts of the main Neocloudsthere are hardly 1,000 million dollars of combined income, As calculated by analyst Ed Zitron. Lambda Labs has half of his income at Amazon and Microsoft, plus 1.5 billion in a contract with Nvidia. Almost all Nebius’s growth projection comes from A 19,000 million agreement with Microsoft. There is no diversified market of business clients. There are a handful of technological giants using these suppliers as an exhaust valve or as a vehicle to move money without inflating their own capital expenses Aka Capex. The money trail. Coreweave owes 25,000 million with annual revenues of 5,350 million. Its debt-active ratio reaches 85.4%. It is like two times your annual salary. And unlike the property that supports a mortgage, the GPUS depreciate quickly. Nebius He has just closed a 4,200 million round to build the infrastructure that allows you to fulfill your contract with Microsoft. Lambda Labs and Crusoe have raised hundreds of millions in risk and debt capital. The model is always the same: You get a large contract. You use that contract as a guarantee to raise debt. Purchases Gpus to Nvidia. Rrena more data centers. Repeat. The problem arises when the Ancla client decides that he no longer needs so much capacity, or when you cannot build the infrastructure quick enough. Between the lines. Nvidia has invested directly into several Neoclouds And it is also its largest supplier and, in many cases, its largest client. Coreweave signed a 6,300 million agreement with Nvidia a few days ago For the manufacturer to buy any capacity that cannot be sold to other customers until 2032. In the end we see an elaborate mechanism of Circular financing: Nvidia needs to sell GPUS to maintain its growth. The Neoclouds They need to buy GPUS to fulfill their contracts. The Hyperscalers They need additional capacity but do not want to inflate their capex. And the Private Equity You need to place tens of billions in something that seems the future. In figures. Building a Data Center Capacity Gigavatio costs between 32,500 and 50,000 million dollars. Oracle and Crusoe took 2.5 years to complete a gigavatio for Openai. Nebius has promised to build multiple gigawatts in increasingly unrealistic terms. The alarm signal. Coreweave has reported important operating losses in its last quarter despite explosive growth in income. Nebius plans to reach 1,100 million in annual recurring revenues by the end of 2025, almost exclusively driven by the contract with Microsoft. What happens if Microsoft decides that you can build your own cheaper capacity? Or if Openai, the final customer of much of that capacity, collapses under the weight of their own losses? The decisive moment. The consolidation has already begun. Coreweave has just bought Core Scientific for 9,000 million in shares. Only great will survive, and probably not many. It is a matter of time when the adjustment will arrive. The doubt is how much damage will cause when billions in debt collide against the reality that the real demand for GPU capacity is a fraction of what is assumed.

Who can access, fines and exceptions

by

October 1, 2025. The date of the definitive implementation of the Granada Zbe has arrived. As of today, all cars that access without permission to the municipality will receive a fine of 200 euros, taking into account that in article 76 Z3) of the Traffic Law, Motor vehicles and road safety It is pointed out as serious infraction: Do not respect the circulation restrictions derived from the application of protocols in the face of pollution episodes and low emissions areas. This leaves all neighbors whose cars do not have stickers and are registered outside the city of Granada. Therefore, All citizens From the peoples of the metropolitan area they have to be careful not to exceed the limits of the municipality if they do not want to be fined. To clarify the whole matter, we collect all cases and exceptions. Granada Zbe Map. Source: Granada City Council The Granada Zbe: Map and Permits The first thing to be clear about before is to be clear that the Zbe of the city of Granada applies to the entire city. That is, to the entire extension of the municipality. Therefore, the same criterion is applied as in Madrid either Barcelona But the creation of special protection zones is omitted, as in the capital. Therefore, There are no rings or areas with special restrictions. All Granada is governed under the same standards. In the upper map, cars that are prohibited in entry may not exceed the area delimited in green. In total, we talk about an area of ​​23.55 km2. The City Council is obliged to signal all access points with a signal in which it is collected where the ZBE begins and what are the vehicles that are allowed to pass. Likewise, it has specified that It is not necessary to carry the DGT sticker Put on the windshield since the record is telematic. Who can happen? In this case, simple: all cars registered in the city of Granada. There is no environmental label discrimination in this case. If the car is registered in Granada, its driver can circulate wherever and time he wants. In a city like Granada, with a multitude of border municipalities, it must be taken into account that if I live in a town near Granada but my car is registered in the city, I will have no problem. On the contrary, if I live in Granada but the car is registered outside, I can find some restrictions. Who can’t happen? Circulation restrictions only affect cars that are not registered in the city of Granada. These restrictions prevent the step to High -environment cars. In the case of having a letter B, C, Eco or Zero Emissions, we can circulate without problem, during the time we want and with total tranquility. But if the car does not have an environmental label we can only pass with some exceptions. What exceptions exist? To pass to the interior of Granada with a registered car outside the city and without label, there are some exceptions that allow the passage without a fine.

Science has discovered what is the best time of day to be more concentrated and T0mar better decisions: at noon

As with the muscles, the brain offers its best version the more rested it is. For that reason, the experts recommend Identify the most productivity hours According to the chronotype of each person to carry out the most demanding activities and tasks at that time and have a better cognitive performance. Recent studies have revealed that fatigue affects remarkably when it comes to being more productive and even in decision making. Understanding this relationship helps to better plan schedules and improve performance. An example: Jeff Bezos never program meetings Beyond five in the afternoon Because doing so would imply raising the risk of making erroneous decisions. The moment of higher performance: noon. A study carried out by researchers from the universities of Messina and Bologna (Italy) analyzed more than 104,000 oral exams and found clear patterns at the time of the day when the students had more likely to approvehighlighting a peak that was not related to the difficulty of the exam but to the time in which the exam was taken. The researchers found that the global approved rate was 57%. However, the chart of probabilities to approve drew a bell shape, reaching its maximum point in the hours near noon, especially between 11:00 and 1:00 p.m. In comparison, the approved rates were remarkably lower early in the morning (between 8:00 and 9:00 hours) and the first hour of the afternoon (between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.) without finding outstanding differences between those two moments. Without realizing it, we lose capabilities. To rule out that the downturn registered by the students at noon is conditioned by Knowledge of the subject of the examThe researchers also studied the behavior of teachers. The results of both groups led to the same conclusion: both students and evaluators experienced changes in their mental state and fatigue levels in the same time strip. This could contribute to the afternoon of the approval rate in exams is lower, since both the evaluator and the examinee are more fatigued and the teachers become more irascible and intolerant due to tiredness. If it’s 16:00, you’re guilty. The same conclusions arrived A group of researchers of the University of Columbia and the Ben Gurion University of the Neguev on the importance of the schedule in which judicial sentences and the increase in the severity of judicial decisions are issued. The investigators analyzed the behavior of several judges during the day and found that the favorable sentences to the defendants reached their peak as the pause to eat was approaching, reaching up to 70%. However, as the early hours of the afternoon progressed and the judges approached the next recess, this percentage progressively decreased to almost 0% by increasing the hardness of the sentences imposed. The “Baba” after the meal. This pattern suggests that our brain works best in mid -morning, and maintains that performance until eating. The explanation is found in the combination of biological factors such as Circadian rhythmswhich regulates energy and alert states during the day releasing more or less melatonin to the body to induce sleep state or activate alert and attention mechanisms. Researchers hypothesize that cognitive function continues This time curve naturallyimproving until noon and decreasing after eating, which coincides with the feeling of support after food. After lunch, there is a small increase in melatonin that can cause drowsiness and lower performance. Revitalizing naps. According to The published by Harvard Health Publishinga short nap after eating can improve the concentration and alert state if it lasts between 10 and 30 minutes. According to research in this regard, this type of naps increase the alert by more than 50% and competition by more than 30% compared to those who do not. However, the duration is key, and sleep more than the account It can be counterproductive. The study analyzed the behavior of Mediterranean adults and observed that making a short nap of less than 30 minutes is associated with a lower probability of high blood pressure (21%), while long naps (more than 30 minutes) are linked to the highest metabolic and cardiovascular risk (41%), as well as the higher perimeter of waist and blood glucose. Therefore, a brief nap after food, contributes to energy and maintaining mental acuity in the afternoon.
