Synthetic data is not enough, so Apple wants users to help improve their AI: this will work its system

by

Apple Intelligence is herebut its premiere has not been as brilliant as many expected. The company’s new proposal still has improvement marginboth in English and Spanish. Although it has been presented as a clear sales argument, its impact among people has been rather discreet. The first impressions are mixed And, for now, he has not managed to generate a groundbreaking enthusiasm. From Cupertino they already move to reinforce one of the greatest software bets in their recent history. Among the movements in progress stand out two fronts: The rumored restructuring of the team responsible for Siri, whose improved version has been delayed up to 2026and the creation of new techniques designed to improve their language models, with the mission of not neglecting their approach to privacy. One step beyond synthetic data Apple usually training its models with synthetic data and data labeled by humansa solution that has been effective to some extent. It does not always represent the real world. Consequently, it limits the functioning of AI products. This has led the technological led by Tim Cook to develop a new solution that combines synthetic data with anonymous signals of participating devices. As explained in an article published this weekeverything begins with a synthetic message, that is, an email invented by Apple itself with a format that simulates the real emails. For example: “Would you like to play tennis tomorrow at 11:30?” From there, several variants are generated that change some elements, such as sport, schedule or tone, to try different possible structures. These phrases are sent to a part of the devices whose users have agreed to share analytics with Apple. There is something key: each iPhone, iPad or Mac Take a handful of real emails transformed into Embeddings local, that is, mathematical representations that convert each message into a set of numbers that reflect their theme, style and length. The important thing is that these emails never leave the device. Thus, the system compares Embeddings synthetic, which Apple has previously generated, with the Embeddings Real emails, to see which ones are more similar. This resemblance is reduced to an anonymous signal, a simple “this version coincides better”, which is sent to Apple without revealing the original mail or the Embedding of the user. With this, Apple intends to learn which synthetic variants better reflect the real use of language, but without seeing a single fragment of private content. The idea is that this helps improve Apple Intelligence functions such as email summaries or writing tools. This approach is based on the same differential privacy techniques that Apple already uses in other functions such as Genmoji. In that case, the company collects anonymous signals about what Prompts They are more popular, such as “a dinosaur with a hat”, to improve the results without registering which user made what request. The idea is simple but very interesting. Improving without using user data data allows you to maintain the privacy approach that the company has been defending so many years. This new technique will begin to be implemented in the next betas of iOS 18.5, Ipados 18.5 and Macos 15.5. It should be noted that only those who have activated the option to share analytics from the privacy settings are activated. So, if you don’t want to be part of this system, You can deactivate it whenever. You just have to go to Settings > Privacy and safety > Analysis and improvements and deactivate the option “Share iPhone analysis”.

how the LGBTI community of Seville lives the passion of Holy Week from within

by

In 2019 a video was viralized which showed a group of young people by teaching the Virgen de los Dolores in a procession of the Holy Week of Seville. The delivered of the compliments (“Queen of Holy Tuesday!”, “The whole neighborhood for you!”) And the tone with which they were thrown unleashed all kinds of comments, many of them openly homophobic and, above all, Plumophobes. In any case, they did not surprise those who are used to Holy Week in the Andalusian capital and their intimate relationship between the Catholic fervor and the very personal LGTBI militancy of many of the devotees of the images. To scream, young. Actually, the phenomenon of the “chillaores”, as these young people are known, has nothing again, as they believe some guardians of the essences of Holy Week (although it is true that it is now when the Church has been in favor of “Cut Hysterisms”). For example, in 1916, Eugenio Noel already I documented phrases As “this virgin goes through the crotch to all the virgins of Seville” shouted to the passage of hope Macarena. Humble neighborhoods. These cheers had a lot of social vindication in their day, since both the Triana and Macarena neighborhood were popular areas that adorned their virgins as a challenge to the aristocracy of the central processions. There the screams with a corrosive point made sense, intolerable for central (and ecclesiastical) power. Today Seville is a very different citybut customs bloom again: Noel talked about how at Madrugá “the cathedral does not close, the taverns either, and the life of the brothels is more active than ever.” Holy Week is a performative activity, whether it opts for dawn and extreme sobriety. “Dolores beautiful!” This was what Jesus Pascual realized when he saw the viral video. He began to investigate the strong LGTBI component of Holy Week in Seville and embodied it in a documentary entitled as the cry that the launched by the Chillaores of the video, and that can be seen in Filmin and Prime video. The result is an amalgam of influences that make clear the popular nature of Holy Week in Seville and how symbols can be reinterpreted without losing anything of its original meaning. At the same time paradoxically corrosive and traditional, ‘Dolores beautiful!’ He is revealing especially when the self -denominated “shellfish shelves” speak of the tradition of the steps and the bearers as a land paid for gay feeling. Two ways to see it. In Dolores beautiful! It is said that “there are two religions: that of Rome and that of Seville.” It refers to Catholicism and the multiple ways of understanding its iconography, where the Virgin Mary, pure femininity and maternal symbol, is both symbol pio and diva to dress like a folkloric (another eminently Andalusian environment that The gays have made their owndespite the traditionally homophobic opposition of the most immobilistic church and Spain). Rodríguez Ojeda, referent. In the documentary it is mentioned, as an essential reference, to the embroidery Juan Manuel Rodríguez Ojedarecognized homosexual that revolutionized Holy Week at the end of the 19th century. Among his essential works are The mantle of the Virgen de la Macarena (which was revolutionary in his day, to distance himself from the most sober mantles seen so far) or the costumes of the Roman century, which decorated With feathers and leotards. This color and precious made a lot to inject from an unheard of sensitivity queer to the Holy Week of Seville. In fact, with him a prototype gay participation was established in artistic work, jewelers to virgin dressing rooms. Your double morals, thanks. Although this homosexual presence is open and recognized, in many cases declared, there is still some tension: integration is there, but the signal also: the Church demands “moral” behaviors to homosexuals and divorced. The cries to the Virgin are thus a form of claiming a reality that, due to the presence of the Church, cannot be official: once again, as happened before in cinema and in music, Sensitivity Camp serves as a statement of intentions (and as the construction of an alternative family environment in the face of your own rejection). New times for the Baroque. In recent times, new artists and movements that claim this reality have emerged. Carlos Carvento Merge Sevillan mantillas with attitudes of Drag Queen; groups like PALIO PROJECT they fight for trans visibility in the brotherhoods; And finally, scandals like the Holy Week poster of 2024 From Salustiano García, who questioned the iconography of Christ, they open debates that help to make visible a struggle of aesthetics and wills that have been bubbling into the brotherhoods.

Solar energy and the price of light are suffocating it

by

Europe opted for the wind. For years, wind turbines were symbol of the energy transition in the continent; The spearhead of the European renewable industry. But something has been crooked. Wind energy, especially offshore, has stopped its expansion dry While photovoltaic solar grows wildlyapparently unstoppable. A very unequal career. After a few years growing in parallel, the plot beat wind in facilities at the beginning of this decade. Since then, he has been adding between four and five times more capacity than wind every year. They are complementary energies (the wind blows even at night), but it is being an unequal race. Not to say a beating. In 2024, Europe installed more than 65 GW of photovoltaic solar capacity. At the same time, expanded its wind capacity in 16 GWless than the previous year, but in the line of the last 20 years. The industry has gathered. 16,000 industry members gathered in Copenhagen a few days ago to discuss it, a new record of attendees at the Windeurope Biennial Conference. Giants like Orsted asked for a pact for marine wind: according to Bloombergthe most affected branch of the sector. They want long -term contracts supported by governments that guarantee fixed prices for electricity, which gives us a key to the problem: many projects do not take off for financial uncertainty. Wind energy (black) and solar (yellow) facilities since 2000. Image: Bloomberg Electricity too cheap? Europe already has so much renewable capacity that, when the wind blows, wind turbines flood the cheap electricity marketsinking prices (Sometimes until they make them negative), which discourages new investments. Without mechanisms to manage that oversu Green hydrogen production), Building more wind in certain European countries ceases to be profitable. It is not the only problem. Beef by the increase in steel price, the rise in interest rates and complex logistics to transport palas and towers, the wind industry has seen its offices fired. Building wind farms, especially in the sea, is today much more expensive than a few years ago. Wind is also exposed to greater bureaucracy and public opposition than solar. Permits to install wind farms remain a bureaucratic crucis in many regions (if not, tell Galicia). To which the local opposition is added due to the landscape impact, an obstacle that the solar panels (although they also have their own) raffle more easily. A solar sponator. While wind fight against wind and tide (never better), photovoltaic solar lives its golden age thanks, above all, to mass production in China. The oversight has Negative consequences for Chinese companiesbut in Europe we only see the good side: the solar panels are getting cheaperaccessible and efficient. They can also be installed almost anywhere: roofs, wasteland, facades … and its deployment is much faster and modular than that of a wind farm. Self -consumption and energy communities shoot thanks to these facilities, which also explains the decoupling between solar capacity and wind capacity. A global trend. In the rest of the world Three quarters of the same occurs. While global solar facilities grew 34% in 2024, wind turbines barely added 5% capacity. For Europe, which has a strong wind industry and very demanding climatic objectives, it is very bad news. Although solar grows faster, wind usually has a larger plant factor; That is, it produces more energy by megavatio installed throughout the year. They are also complementary energy sources: the wind usually blows stronger in winter and at night, just when the lot falters. We need both to decarbonize the network in a stable and safe way.

The startup of AI aims to go beyond chatgpt

by

More than two years have passed since Openai launched Chatgpt and marked the beginning of the Revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that we are living. The startup led by Sam Altmanhowever, it seems willing to go further: now it points to social networks, According to The Verge. A social network of OpenAI. Sources consulted by the renowned technology point out that OpenAI is working on a platform similar to X, the social network previously known as Twitter and acquired at the end of 2022 by Elon Musk. The company, for now, has not made comments about it. People who spoke on condition of anonymity explain that the project is in a very early phase. There are not too many details, but an internal prototype is mentioned with a typical social network feed and image generation functions via chatgpt. Independent app or part of chatgpt? The aforementioned information arises several questions, as if the company decides to launch its own social network, if it would be part of Chatgpt, probably integrated into the application, or it would be developed as a separate platform, using some functions of the chatbot. In the case of X, its main competitor, integration with XAI is increasingly deep. Users can interact with Grokthe chatbot of the house, which not only has conversations, but also generates images And it has an independent app. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI In search of data. X and XAI reinforced their corporate link after their recent merger. Behind that movement was a key reason: the data to train artificial intelligence models. An own social network would allow OpenAi to access that same advantage. And of profitability … Many things have happened since Openai shook the artificial intelligence board when putting his chatbot within everyone’s reach. The startup seemed unattainable, so much that it caused a “red code” in Google, which was forced to move card so as not to be left behind in the new race. But the panorama has changed. Google is presenting more and more solid products, has cut distances and has even surpassed OpenAi in some cases. Although Sam Altman’s company is still the most popular, he faces an awkward reality: It is not yet profitable and continues to burn money. The launch of a social network could help you attack that front. Of course, as we said, the sources indicate that the project is in a very early phase and it is not clear if it will see the light. What is clear is that the technology industry moves at an increasingly accelerated pace.

Particle accelerators to make chips

by

The photolithography equipment that designs and produces The Dutch Company ASML They are extraordinarily complex. These integrated circuit manufacturing machines have many sophisticated components, but one of the most advanced is, without a doubt, The ultraviolet light source. Its purpose is to generate extreme ultraviolet radiation (UVE) necessary to transport the geometric pattern that contains the design of the chips to the silicon wafer. Very broadly, this light source generates UVE radiation using high power lasers capable of instantly heating tens of thousands of tiny tin drops in a single second until they reach a temperature of half a million Celsius degrees. This interaction produces an extremely hot plasma that emits ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5 nm. It looks like a relatively simple strategy, But it is not at all. In fact, the UVE source is one of ASML’s disruptive components. Pat Gelsinger has joined the Xlight team Interestingly, to manufacture avant -garde semiconductors using integration technology less than 7 Nm it is not essential to use an ultraviolet light source like the one I just described. You can also opt for other approaches. The UVE lithography machine prototype that, according to leaks, He is testing Huawei In its Dongguan Laboratory (China), it uses an LDP type ultraviolet light source (laser induced discharge), and not LPP class (plasma generated by laser) like the one used by ASML. Another option requires using a syncrotron -type particle accelerator to generate ultraviolet radiation. This is the path that is following the Chinese Academy of Sciences in The installation that is putting up in Beijing (China). Your heps (High Energy Photon Source or source of high -energy photons) has been designed for Deliver High Power UVE Light simultaneously to several integrated circuit manufacturing plants. However, this is not all. There is at least another option that is also being explored to generate the UVE light. Your plan consists in replacing the ultraviolet light source that ASML uses with a free electrons laser It is precisely the strategy for which the American company Xlight, to which Pat Gelsinger has just addedthe former director general of Intel, as executive president and the Organization for high energy physics with accelerators of Tsukuba (Japan). Of course, each of these organizations works on their own. Whatever your plan consists of replacing the ultraviolet light source that uses ASML with a free or fel electron laser for its English denomination (Free-electron laser) as those used in particle accelerators. In fact, in their tests they are using a fel laser generated by a linear accelerator of energy recovery. In theory the radiation delivered by a Fel laser allows to manufacture integrated circuits with a resolution comparable to that of an ultraviolet light source. A priori sounds good, but it seems reasonable to accept that a fel laser linked to a particle accelerator is not exactly cheap. The reason why some technicians prefer this option to which ASML uses is that a single linear accelerator of energy recovery is able to simultaneously feed several lithography machines. In addition, according to Xlight its Fel laser is designed to feed the next generation of ASML photolithography equipment. In fact, in theory it is four times more powerful than the light source used by this Dutch company in its most advanced machines. According to Gelsinger Xlight technology allows the price to be reduced by wafer by 50% and will achieve a higher wafer performance than current solutions. It sounds good, but we will have to wait until 2028 to know if this proposal is really up to expectations. That year Xlight and ASML hope to try their first Fel laser prototype with a lithography team.

Boeing, trapped in the commercial war. China paralyzes the deliveries of its airplanes and Airbus gains ground, according to Bloomberg

by

Commercial tension between United States and China It does not give signs of decreasing. And everything indicates that commercial aviation will be one of the great victims. According to Bloombergthe Chinese government has ordered its airlines to stop the reception of aircraft manufactured by Boeing. The measure also includes the suspension of purchase of aeronautical equipment and components from US companies. This new blow is part of a tariff offensive that has reached unpublished levels. After declaring a commercial emergency, Washington raised up to 145% Tariffs in response to what he considers a threat to their economic and national security. China soon react, raising their own levies above 100% to US imports and making it clear that the climb was far from finishing. China’s latest reprisals hit Boeing Although the details of the last retaliation of the Asian giant are unknown, the suspension affects the Boeing 737 Maxone of the best -selling unique corridor aircraft in the world, of which the American firm has delivered 13 units in China, along with Tres Boeing 787 double corridor. In their hangars they still expect 28 Max and a 787 destined for the Chinese market. It is not just a political dispute: economic implications are huge. China is one of the main strategic markets for Boeing. According to their latest 20 -year forecast reportthe country would demand 8,830 new aircraft until 2043. 60% to accompany the growth of air traffic, and the remaining 40% to renew fleets with more efficient models. The country’s commercial fleet would go from 4,345 to 9,740 aircraft in that period, with an annual expansion of 4.1%. However, part of these forecasts are now questioned by the commercial war. The measure not only puts the commercial balance between the two countries. It also threatens to alter the internal functioning of Chinese airlines, which depend largely on fleets already delivered. Thousands of airplanes of the American company They currently operate in the country, and their maintenance requires foreign technical pieces and support. Boeing has been doing business in China for decades, but those doors begin to close. Boeing has been doing business in China for decades, but those doors begin to close. With Boeing temporarily out of the scene, two alternatives arise: The Airbus A320 family and the Comac C919. Airbus starts with advantage, since, although some of its components come from the United States or use Chinese raw materials, it can continue to operate normally in the country. The problem is capacity: the European manufacturer would have to increase its production rate to take advantage, and that is not immediate. The other great bet is local. Comac C919, designed and assembled in China, is designed to compete directly with the Boeing 737 Max and the Airbus A320. It offers capacity for between 158 and 192 passengers and a maximum autonomy of 4,075 to 5,555 km. Today, its deployment is limited, but the current context could accelerate its adoption on regional routes. The uncertainty reigns on both sides of the Pacific. From the United States, Trump has affirmed that “China wants to reach an agreement. The problem is that they are not clear how to do it.” From Beijing, on the other hand, they show no intention of backing. They claim to raise tariffs beyond 125% would be “a joke”implying that greater punishment would not be an additional damage. As we have seen, the conflict continues to climb, and the aeronautical industry is trapped in the crossfire of two powers that more and more use their supply chains as a negotiation weapon. Although the long -term effects are about to be seen, the immediate impact begins to feel. Touch to wait to know if we will witness some kind of agreement capable of relieving, or at least reduce, these new international barriers.

The images of AI already flood the Internet. Google and see 2 will serve to start filling it with videos generated by AI

by

The Images that mimic the Ghibli style They are very good, but be careful, because we can soon make small animation shorts that imitate that or any other style. The models of the generative video are closer more than ever to the general public by Google, which now offers its spectacular model I see 2 as part of the subscription to Gemini Advanced. Hello, Gemini Advanced. When it appeared on the scene I see 2 could only be used through the VERTEX AI and Videofx platforms, but the scope of both proposals was limited and was intended for a more expert audience. Now this model reaches Gemini Advanced, which allows you to transform our text prompts into dynamic videos. Interestingly, the option that now comes to Gemini Advanced It is available for weeks on the Spanish Freepik platformwhich was the first to offer that generation of ia videos using this same model. Eight seconds of artificial creativity. The model, created by DEEPMIND, is available as one more of the options of the GEMINI models drop -down menu. If we use it, we can generate an eight -second video clip with 720p resolution, MP4 format and 16: 9 appearance ratio. In Google they point out that there is a monthly limit for the number of videos that each Gemini Advanced user can create, but do not indicate which, only that we will receive a warning when we approach that limit. A text prompt is enough. To create videos with Gemini we will only have to describe the scene – as always, the details will help create it with greater loyalty – and Gemini will be responsible for materializing that idea and turning it into a video generated by AI. To conquer the Internet. In Google they also wanted to convert these videos into content that can be shared easy and quickly. Thus, it is enough to choose any of the videos that we have generated and then select the option “Share” and be able to upload it to platforms such as Tiktok or YouTube Shorts. Flood of videos from AI in view. We could already live how the phenomenon of the Image ghiblation He won the Internet, and AI models have shown that this type of uses are those that attract the general public at least temporarily. The images generated by AI are already everywhere and are flooding the Internet, but now we face that with the video generated by AI. That Google bets on this type of content and invites you to share it without tapujos is a declaration of forceful intent. The video generated by AI remains for those who pay. The AI ​​models to generate images have long offered their options to users even in free services —Chatgpt and Gemini do it – although with limitations. With the video at the moment that does not happen, and so much Sora as Runway Or now I see 2 are oriented to users who pay for this intensive use of resources to generate these videos. Already available, Spain included. The new option for generating videos in Gemini through View 2 begins to gradually deploy from today for Gemini Advanced subscribers worldwide, including Spain. We can write our Prompts in Spanish as well, which makes Gemini more and more versatile to be able to generate both text and images and video (for Gemini Advanced subscribers, we insist). Water brand in each frame. To avoid bad uses of this tool, Gemini can refuse to create some videos that are contrary to Google’s use policies. In addition, all the videos generated with I see 2 include a digital water mark embedded in each frame Thanks to Synthid technology. Whisk, the other option. I see 2 too will be available through whiskan experimental platform of AI that is not available in Spain. With it the advantage is that not only prompts of text are accepted, but also starting images that then serve as base frames for the rest of the animation. Thus, choosing a Studio Ghibli style frame makes us obtain an eight -second miniClip that also mimics that style, as Google shows in its promotional videos. The Whisk Animate function based on VI 2 is available from today for the subscribers of the Google One Premium Plan in various countries of the world, although for the moment not in Spain.

In 2025 the plug -in hybrids will contaminate three times more. It is not magic, it is the change of homologation that attacks manufacturers

by

How much does a plug -in hybrid consume? It is almost impossible to be clear. It is a technology that depends so much on the use that is given to make any type of estimate involves falling into an error. So far we have seen plug -in hybrids that approve consumption between one and two liters per 100 kilometers. How realistic is this? It depends, as we said, How we use the car. If you are one of those who get the most out of this data on the car computer. The problem is that, according to the data they handle in the European Union, few drivers do this Ideal use of a hybrid car. This causes the estimated real consumption of these cars to be much higher than reflected in the technical chips. To solve it, the European Union completely changes the homologation cycle, which raises the consumption and has a direct impact on the broadcast portfolio that each company will have to present in 2027. The headache of plug -in hybrids As we said, the European Union is not believed by the homologations that have been made so far with plug -in hybrids. Not because they considered that they did not reflect a realistic figure, rather the problem is that they did not reflect the real use that has been extended. If you are a user who makes Between 50 and 100 kilometers a day For an urban environment and/or its vicinity, a plug -in hybrid can be a perfect car if you have to load it every night. With a consumption of 20 kWh/100 kilometers in electric mode, we can expect a cost of two euros or less daily. Prioritizing battery use most of the time, gasoline spending should be ridiculous. However, the European Commission believes that these types of cars are not always used in the most efficient way. In a report published in 2024 They collected that the realistic mean of consumption of a plug -in hybrid in Europe is 5.94 l/100 km of fuel (5.97 l/100 km between the plug -in hybrids of gasoline, the most common) for the type of driving that is made. And they highlighted another very important point. CO2 emissions are 139.4 gr/km of CO2, instead of 39.6 gr/km of CO2 approved on average. Therefore, as of this year other cycles are beginning to make during the homologation of new cars. Until nowa plug -in hybrid was subjected to constant cycles in which the speed was increasing to exhaust its battery. After its electric warehouse, one last cycle was made only with the Combustion engine. It was a way to simulate the most efficient conditions of use of a PHEV: throw to the extent of the possible electric motor until the battery is exhausted. But since January 1, 2025 it is applied EURO 6E BIS. This new way of measuring plug -in hybrids is mandatory for all homologated cars until December 31, 2026. From there, all cars sold by manufacturers as new will have to undergo this new test. With this new protocol, the conditions are harder. The test will be extended up to 2,200 kilometers and the test will run over time with the empty battery. Temperature conditions will be more extreme. And when EURO 6E BIS-FCM enters into force, cars will face worse circumstances with tests that will extend up to 4,260 kilometers. What happens is that in many countries Aids have been delivered to purchase of a plug -in hybrid, thinking that their owners would make a more efficient use of them. However, In Switzerland they already took their aid In 2022 because they considered that with the use that they were giving them contaminated as much as a diesel and They were taking advantage of advantages of cleaner vehicles. All this has direct consequences for the coming years on emissions. The maximum allowed limit for each brand is 93.6 gr/km of CO2 on average in 2027. For the calculation the Weight of the emissions registered in 2025, 2026 and 2027. The brand that exceeds will have to pay 95 euros for each gram overcome and car sold. That is, if you have sold one million cars and record 94.6 gr/km of CO2 on average, the fine will be 95 million euros. Having until the end of 2026 with plug -in hybrids that barely approve just over 30 gr/km of CO2 is an advantage for manufacturers that can prioritize their sales if their electric cars are not working quite well. Keep in mind that these data allow up to three plug -in hybrid cars by a gasoline without exceeding the maximum allowed barrier. The problem will come with the new models that are coming to the market and, above all, from 2027 that manufacturers must withdraw these markets from the market or assume that the same vehicle will now reflect a volume of emissions that can be between three and four times higher. That is, they will be able to use the “trick” of the plug -in hybrid but will not add so favorably as until now.

AI is also a tool to get a job: “No one will notice”

by

The curriculum is the only cartridge of the candidates To highlight at the beginning of the selection processes. Therefore, it must be optimized enough for ATS automated selection systems (Applicant Tracking System), but also Offer clear and concise information In case you check them a human recruiter. The use of AI in the elaboration of curriculums is not only an increasingly common trend, but already It is a common practice among those who seek employment efficiently. He 2025 market trends report From the Career Group Companies personnel selection platform, it points out that almost 65% of employment applicants already use AI in some phase of their application process. This figure shows how AI is not only transforming the labor marketbut also the Personnel selection stages. Far from be a “trap” In the process, the correct use of AI It can make the difference between unnoticed or capture the attention of recruiters. It is not enough to be good at your job, too You should know how to tell. It’s okay to use in your curriculum Kathleen Nolan, a senior recruiter at the Growthloop technology company, has reviewed hundreds of curriculums and stated in statements to CNBC that has no problem that candidates use AI to write their credentials. “Nobody cares if you use AI. If you use it well, nobody will notice,” said Nolan, who has been in the sector for seven years and personally reviews each curriculum he receives. Nolan stressed that LMost people already use AI for tasks like this and that the important thing is to know how to use it correctly. In fact, the recruitment expert recommends that candidates Use tools like chatgpt To generate a first draft for the presentation letter or for the curriculum, and then customize the result before sending it. For the recruiter, use AI to customize the curriculum is to take advantage of a tool available to everyone. No one would be surprised in the 21st century someone use a computer and a word processor to write your curriculum or your presentation letter. “It seems very hypocritical when I see the recruiters talk about that, because, come on, if I were in the labor market, I would also be doing it,” says Nolan to CNBC. The AI ​​is nothing more than a tool that facilitates and speeds up the adaptation of the curriculum to each offer, incorporating keywords and highlighting specific skills that appear in the description of the position. “I don’t know why it has become such a controversial issue. While it is used as intended, no one can know, and anyway should not matter,” says Nolan. This increases the chances of curriculum passes automatic filters and arrive at the hands of a human recruiter. After passing that first filter, the document must be clear enough to Show the information clearly and consistent so that the recruiter can get a clear idea of ​​your skills with a simple look. It should be taken into account that these people check hundreds or thousands of curriculums, so, in many cases, they can only dedicate them more than a few seconds. AI can help you identify the most relevant terms and to rewrite your achievements to give priority to the most prominent for the position to which I postulate. For example, you can ask you to summarize your qualification and experience using action verbs or that stands out Quantifiable results in previous jobs. Thus, your curriculum will be more attractive and will be better aligned with what companies are looking for, without losing authenticity or precision. The importance of reviewing the AI ​​text Although AI can save you a lot of time and improve the quality of the curriculum, it is always necessary to check the final text and give your personal touch. IA tools are trained with large volumes of data and, sometimes, They can hallucinate and include incorrect information. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly review the result and correct possible errors to ensure that everything that the document appears is true and consistent with your experience. “I would not expect someone to write a personalized presentation letter for every opportunity, because that would consume a lot of time,” said Nolan. However, the recruiter remembered that, if it is going to be sent to one, it must ensure that it is well written and that it reflects the candidate’s enthusiasm for vacancy.

No one is safe from tariffs. Not even one of the most powerful and necessary companies for the US: ASML

by

ASML occupies a privileged position. This company of the Netherlands is the only company on the planet capable of producing equipment of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) that are necessary to manufacture avant -garde chips. In fact, these are the machines that use TSMC, Intel, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron Technology to create Your most advanced integrated circuits. It is currently not exaggerated to affirm that a very important part of the semiconductor industry is supported About Asml’s shoulders. And, despite its indisputable relevance, it is not immune to tariffs. Or, at least, to the uncertainty that has triggered the government’s tariff strategy led by Donald Trump. In fact, According to Reutersthe investors of this Dutch company are very concerned about the impact that US taxes will have on the company’s economic performance. The next tariffs on chips have plunged Asml in uncertainty The US administration has excluded manufacturers of lithography equipment from the base tariff of 10% announced just a few days ago. However, ASML, Tokyo Electron, Canon and other companies that produce these machines have reason to be expectant. And worried. A little over 24 hours ago Donald Trump confirmed that during the next few days will announce the tariff rate with which it will finally tax the imported integrated circuits. He also anticipated that some companies in the semiconductor industry will have some flexibility, although he did not specify either what will be those organizations or to what extent they can continue to import integrated circuits avoiding tariffs. The problem is that with these statements has plunged the entire semiconductor industry in uncertainty. This is the problem facing ASML and the other machine manufacturers to produce integrated circuits. If the US government finally decides to impose tariffs on the importation of lithography equipment manufactured abroad, the semiconductor sector will suffer If the US government finally decides to impose tariffs on the importation of lithography equipment manufactured abroad, the semiconductor sector will suffer. ASML is in a more comfortable position than other chips processing equipment manufacturers because, as I mentioned in the first lines of this article, it is the only company that produces UVE lithography machines. And not having competition in this segment helps. In addition, Intel and TSMC are equipping, or, at least, they plan to do it in the short or medium term, Its new plants of manufacture of semiconductors in the US. And it is impossible to start them Without ASML machines. However, the panorama is gloomy even if the US administration decided to exclude tariffs definitively to the manufacturers of lithography equipment, which is something that can happen. If this last scenario was given, but the US government decides to impose tariffs on imported chips, which right now seems most likely, the business of some of the best ASML customers, such as TSMC, Samsung or SK Hynix, presumably will resent to a greater or lesser extent. And, consequently, it is reasonable to assume that ASML’s economic performance will degrade. This is what worries your investors. TSMC and Samsung They already have factories in the USand SK Hynix is ​​building a plant in West Lafayette (Indiana), but in the short term they will hardly be able to meet the needs of the US market Only with your US plants. We will see what happens finally, but whatever happens is evident that uncertainty is already hurting even an industry as robust as that of integrated circuits.
