Duplicate the rest of the time of eating

by

In recent months a figure in Mexico has sounded strongly: 40 hours. In many parts of the planet it is a standard to which the nation aspires in labor key thus reducing the weekly workday. There are the First experiments and tests around the world To define if it is plausible to reduce it even to four days a week. Also those who go to the counter, with Elon Musk at the head and Your 120 hours a week. Mexico now debates a new proposal: rest more, but at work. Duplicate the break. In the middle of the national debate for the reduction of the working day at 40 hours a weekthe parliamentary group of Morena has presented a New initiative In the most creative Senate. One that also aims to improve working conditions in Mexico, but differently. The senator Julieta Ramírez Padilla proposed on March 18 a reform to article 63 of the Federal Labor Law for Duplicate the minimum rest period Within the working day, going from the current 30 minutes one hour. The proposal. Framed within the progressive labor agenda of the party in power, it responds to the need to adapt the current regulations (intact for more than half a century) to the physical, mental and social demands of the contemporary Mexican workforce, recognizing that time, not only as a time to eat food or drinks, but as an indispensable condition for the exercise of decent and healthy work. A more “human” pause. In The documentit is emphasized that pauses during working hours are fundamental to prevent exhaustion and reduce stress generated by productive activity. The International Labor Organization (ILO) support this vision Highlighting that breaks are essential to preserve the health of the worker. The senator emphasizes that, within the member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Mexico It stands out negatively for the high number of working hours compared to low salary levels, which implies that free time has a “higher cost” For Mexican workers. International examples. Morena’s approach also relies on examples that reflect a trend Towards work models more balanced. In Portugal and in New York, for example, laws establish at least one rest within the day. In Finland, the legal framework grants an hour of pause for every six hours of work, and in Italy there are provisions that give fifteen minutes for every two continuous hours in certain cases. These measures seek not only the preservation of workers’ health, but also to promote more human, fair and productive environments. The Mexican proposal would thus align with a modern vision of work that considers the employee, not only as an economic agent, but as a person with rights, dignity and integral needs. The (“slow”) legal framework. We said it at the beginning, the senator has also contextualized the proposal within a legal framework that has remained unaltered for more than a century (From the promulgation of the Mexican Constitution in 1917). The regulation of the working day in the Mexican Constitution has not been modified since then, and the Federal Labor Law has barely registered changes Significant in the last 50 years, despite the deep transformations that the world of work has experienced. Currently, the chapter related to the working day contemplates eleven legal provisionsamong which are article 58, which defines the day as the time in which the worker “is available to the employer”; Article 59, which allows to agree on the distribution of hours “to facilitate breaks”; and article 61, which establishes a maximum day of eight day diurnal hours, seven night and seven and a half hours for the mixed day. Article 63, which is intended to modify, currently establishes a minimum of half an hour of rest in continuous days. An ambitious agenda. It is the leg that is seen with the proposal to expand the work rest, which adds to a series of reforms that make up the large labor agenda promoted by Morena in 2025. According to El Economista figuresduring the first session of the LXVI Legislature there have been at least 68 initiatives to reform the Federal Labor Law. Among the most prominent: the reduction of the working day to those 40 hours a week we commented, the increase in Aguinaldo 30 days and the creation of mourning permits. The reduction of the day, in particular, is a President’s priority Claudia Sheinbaum and has legislative support since November 2024, with an initiative signed by Deputies Napoleón Gómez Urrutia and Manuel Vázquez Arellano that contemplates a gradual implementation to ensure its economic viability. The future. The truth is that, although the proposal of Senator Ramírez Padilla has gone to Senate commissions for analysis and eventual opinion, his legislative destiny is still uncertain. It will be necessary to achieve a consensus between different political, business and social actors to consolidate the necessary support. In this way, the substantive approach represents an opportunity for rethink the structure of work in the nation from a perspective focused on human rights, health, equity and productive efficiency. The idea of ​​duplicating the rest time within the working day not only responds to international standards, but also to a (growing) social demand due to more just, human and sustainable working conditions.

Justice rejects its demand against LaLiga for the mass blocking of websites

by

The Spanish justice has dismissed the different nullity incidents filed independently by Cloudflare, Rootedcon and other plaintiffs against LaLiga, giving the reason to the organization chaired by Javier Tebas in their strategy to combat the illegal broadcasts of football matches. What has happened. The court has rejected The attempt to cancel the 2022 sentence which allows LaLiga to order the blockade of IP addresses through the operators. All the plaintiffs must assume the costs of the judicial process, without any possibility of any ordinary appeal. Why it is important. The decision reinforces LaLiga in its fight against illegal broadcasts, but maintains the controversy over The mass blocking of thousands of legitimate websites that share infrastructure with websites that illegally transmit football matches. The conflict broke out when Cloudflare implemented an encryption system (Ech) that prevents the operators from seeing the final destination of each connection. In response, LaLiga chose to directly block the cloudflare IPSaffecting thousands of websites without relation to illegal broadcasts. Between the lines. According to the judicial order, to which Xataka It has had access, the plaintiffs presented an incident with “probative orphanage” regarding the accreditation of the damages that allegedly caused the blocking measures. In the judge’s words, this means that “there are no damage caused by the execution of IPS addresses”, but “a measure that prevents access to pirate content.” Vodafone, one of the operators demanded and affected by these blockages, has formulated opposition to the nullity requested, as stated in the judicial order. This means that the operator aligns with LaLiga and considers blockages appropriate during party retransmissions. And now what? Rootedcon has announced in X that will resort to “to all necessary legal means” to reverse this situation, although the car specifies that there is no ordinary appeal. Meanwhile, LaLiga could intensify its blockage strategy, especially during party retransmissions. The plaintiffs included, in addition to Cloudflare and Rootedcon, A Vapasec Technology Consulting, Japonism travel content SC and Frontia SA, among others. Cloudflare says that in Spain there are about 160,000 web pages that use their services. Javier Tebas himself, president of LaLiga, downplay the problem by stating that “It only affects some geeks on the Internet“ The current situation. Affected users can resort to tools such as VPNS or the service Cloudflare Warp To avoid these blockages. This temporary solution, however, does not solve the background problem for business and professional services that can be compromised for their activity during the weekends. This case adds to other similar litigation in several European countries such as France, Italy, Germany and Portugal, where Cloudflare is also facing demands for rights holders For its privacy protection system that, according to its defenders, favors a safer Internet.

Luxury floors are so expensive in Madrid that Millionaires already look at more “affordable” areas such as … the moral or farm

by

Throughout a whole year a half -won (or won at least in 2022, last data of the INE) a salary of around 27,000 euros. It is a considerable sum. But soon it will not even pay an M2 in the Madrid residential luxury market. This is estimated by the consultant Colliers, who in A report Published this same week on the most exclusive properties of the capital, letting a striking idea: prices of the city real estate They are warming up In all segments, also the Prime. In fact, this price increase in the central almond of Madrid is forcing which part of the demand It moves to other parts of the city, such as the moral or farm. Probing luxury. In Your reportColliers is dedicated to putting the thermometer to the most exclusive segment of the Madrid real estate market, which is associated with labels such as Ultra High-end, High-end, premium either Branded reside. Basically these are homes that cost at least two million euros (much passes from the five) and in certain cases they are associated with a hotel brand that offers services, which gives them a plus of exclusivity. It may seem a very limited segment, but Colliers reveals that it has some weight in the most exclusive neighborhoods of the capital. In the report its technicians claim to have identified in the Barrio de Salamanca, Chamberí, El Viso and Centro 153 homes For sale that two requirements meet: they are new construction and go from two million euros. There are more 52 that belong to the most exclusive group, the Ultra high-endwith a price per m2 that reaches 27,400 euros. A figure: € 1,550. One of the first conclusions that the report leaves is that the residential luxury market has not remained oblivious to generalized increase of the house in Madrid. The other way around. Colliers estimates that throughout the last decade the price of M2 in the market High-end The capital has grown at a rate of € 1,550/year, which the consultant interprets as “constant and sustained growth.” In practice that means that the M2 in the most exclusive properties and floors is today much more expensive than in 2005. And you don’t have to look so far back. Surprises. When analyzing the luxury housing stock for sale in Madrid, the consultant has encountered two surprises: first, the number of promotions and homes has increased considerably with respect to 2023; Second, the maximum prices are today quite higher than those that were handled just two years ago. If in 2023 the maximum was in € 24,800/m2now it goes from 27,400. On the contrary, the minimum values ​​have softened around 12%. 27,400 for an M2. What is the result of this “constant and sustained” price increase? That right now the residential square meter in the most exclusive homes for sale in neighborhoods such as Salamanca, Chamberí or Viso Ronda, on average, 18,300, with some cases in which this value has shot above € 27,400/m2. This is just that, means that can vary depending on the characteristics of the property or the concrete area of ​​Madrid in which they are located, but still interesting. In the Salamanca neighborhood for example Colliers analyzed 112 properties in which the average square meter cost ranged between 12,000 and 18,600 euros, which translates into homes that cost by total between 2.75 and 8.6 million. In Chamberí the photo already changes and the consultant did not register properties in which the € 17,800/m2 was exceeded. Spraying records. They may seem high prices, but if Colliers technicians give in the nail it is likely that in a few years they will not seem so. Especially if we take into account that the market has maintained a trend over the last years that seems to direct it towards new record values. “If this evolution is maintained, we estimate that by 2030 the average price in the areas Prime of the luxury residential market could exceed the barrier of € 30,000/m2, which would represent a key milestone for this segment, “he collects The report. “Now we are seeing projects that will probably come out at the end of the year around 25,000 euros per m2,” Luis Valdés recognizesmanaging director of the Colliers luxury housing area to the newspaper Five dayswhich remembers that there is probably some property associated with Branded reside Restored for more than € 30,000/m2. If the consultant’s forecast is finally met in a matter of only a five years, it will no longer be the exception, but “the average price in the primary areas of the residential market High-end“ What is the reason? The study is not limited to talking about prices and draws medium -term forecasts. Part of its analysis is also dedicated to probe the market, which otherwise goes online with the whole of the Madrid real estate sector. In general, idealist calculates that the residential M2 in the capital He has shot In the last decade: € 2,700/m2 in February 2015 to the more than 5,200 charged now. In the specific market case Prime However, certain trends with a key weight. Foreigners. In Your report Colliers dedicates special attention to foreign capital, highlighting the capacity of Madrid “to attract investment, tourism and wealth.” “It has climbed positions until consolidating as the second most attractive European city for real estate investment, only surpassed by London,” The analysis stands out. “This fact shows the strength of the Madrid real estate market, driven by both international and individual investors looking for higher levels of profitability.” Among other factors, the consultant recalls the opening of new five -star hotelsthe rise of business schools, security and a climate that can be attractive to investors from other latitudes. According to the data handled by Colliers, in 2024 about half of the homes acquired in the community were concentrated in the capital and 7% corresponds to foreign investors, especially of Latam and the US, which places Madrid, in their opinion, among the “most profitable” markets … Read more

The new OpenAi image generator takes a 180º turn in a section that we did not see coming: censorship

by

That of the photo is supposed to be that of Karl Marx with purchase bags and with an unusual attitude: leaving a shopping center and demonstrating An unusual change to capitalist and consumerist philosophy. But of course, it is not him: he is a Deepfake generated by a very peculiar model. Specifically, by the new OpenAi model integrated in Chatgpt and that goes beyond Dall-e in a key apparent: censorship. Goodbye (almost) to censorship. In the “system card“From this OpenAi model, a unique message stands out: we can generate deepfakes without apparent problems. As explained in that text, “The generation of images 4 is able, in many cases, to generate a representation of a public figure based only on an indication of text. In this launch, We will not block the ability to generate adult public figuresbut we will implement the same safeguards that we have implemented for the edition of images of photorealist loads of people. For example, this includes trying to block the generation of photorealist images of public figures that are minor and material that violates our policies related to violence, images that encourage hate, instructions for illegal activities, erotic content and other areas. Public characters who wish not to generate their image can choose not to participate. “ A similar approach to Grok’s. Openai’s philosophy is now The same line than the one Grok 3 raised With its generation of images months ago. Censorship disappeared and it was feasible to generate any type of Deepfake even with public characters. Openai responsible highlight how the approach here is different from the series of Dall-E models, and that “opens the possibility of useful and beneficial uses in areas such as educational, historical, satirical and political discourse.” Even so, they add, they will continue “monitoring the use of this capacity, evaluating our policies, and we will adjust them if necessary”, which makes it clear that a misuse of these options could lead OpenAi to re -apply censorship mechanisms. Why now. Openai’s decision is striking, but logical. Grok 3, which was a little widespread model, has achieved some popularity thanks to that “politically incorrect” approach to its AI model. After all, AI models are tools, and can be used for both good and evil, like any other tool. Controlling the bad uses is extremely difficult and expensive, and here OpenAi leaves the ball on the roof of the users. The Deepfake generation With famous characters in Grok 3, he unleashed a flood of memes and contents of all kinds with those celebrities, but it seems that in recent times “we have become accustomed” to having that capacity and apparently the diffusion of these images has relaxed. The initial controversy has blurred, and Openai probably knows that this will help further boost the use of chatgpt and perhaps to harm his rival, Grok 3. The quality of the photorealist images rises of level in this new image generator integrated in chatgpt with GPT-4O. Source: OpenAi. But they don’t want to put the leg. Generating images is wonderful, but it can also end up being a problem for the models that put the leg. It happened to Google with Gemini, which ended up generating controversial images of Black Nazis soldiers in which the desire to be inclusive ended up posing reputational problems and Important economic. He Addendum to the official announcement by OpenAI Let it clear They have taken special care to generate “safe” images. The model censures much less, but can continue to be refused to generate certain types of images that, for example, avoid control of CSAM materials (sexual Child abuse material). The evolution of Dall-e. In January 2021, nobody probably paid too much attention to a news that we published in Xataka. An unknown OpenAi Dall-e presented at that timea model capable of generating images from a text prompt. In April 2022 Dall-e 2 would arrivebut in reality we all “click” in June of that year, when it was launched Dall-e 2 mini And we could all try that. And it was impressive. Images in Chatgpt. The new OpenAi in this area is not a theoretical Dall-E 4. instead what the company has presented is the so-called image generation integrated in its model GPT-4O. The announcement is important because it allows you to generate images directly within Chatgpt, but also do it with a quality clearly superior to that offered by Dall-E. Until the text generates well. One of the outstanding characteristics of this model is its ability to render text precisely: if you ask for an image with a certain text, that text will appear clearly, while in other models the text may appear distorted or illegible. According to Openai, the model takes advantage of “the inherent knowledge base of 4”. And more striking options. In Openai they also highlight how we also have the ability to generate in “multiturn”, that is, refine images from the previous ones. We can polish them or add new elements to the images with new PROMPTS. The understanding of the context, the quality of the photorealistic images – such as Marx – or even the generation of diagrams and graphs are other remarkable options of this image generation model. Activated water marks. There is an additional element of the model: all the images generated They include C2PA metadatathat is: they contain invisible “water marks” that allow to identify all these images as generated by GPT-4O. In Openai they even emphasize that they have created an internal search tool that allows us to use the technical attributes of the generations to verify if that content comes from their model. But it is still imperfect. The company’s own ones notice: the images may contain bulk and hallucinar errors, and the generation of text, especially with multi -mounted support, can end up offering meaningless texts. Who can use it. The image generation in 4o has already begun its deployment for users of Chatgpt plusPro, Team and even free accounts, and will soon reach Enterprise … Read more

Almost 20 years ago a telescope captured a “cosmic tornado.” Now, thanks to James Webb, we know he hid a galaxy behind

by

Appearances often deceive. A unbridled eye could well confuse one of the planets in our solar neighborhood, such as Venus, with a distant star. We could also see an image taken by a telescope and think that the two objects that most attract attention on it are part of the same cosmic phenomenon. This is precisely what happens in the last image of the James Webb space telescope (JWST). A cosmic tornado. While the new image seems to show a huge nebula filled by a star on the tip; What we really see It is the combination of the emanations expelled by a nascent star, called Herbig-Haro 49/50, and a galaxy located far behind in the plane. Herbig-Haro. The calls Herbig-Haro objects They are produced by the form of a star formation, specifically they are the result of the expulsion of matter during this process, matter that can accumulate in regions several light years away from the birthplace of the star. This matter “cools” emitting light both in the visible spectrum and infrared. Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) It is one of these objects. The appellation of “cosmic tornado” received it after the Spitzer space telescope observed it in 2006. The image did not allow to distinguish with certainty what type of object we saw at the tip of this cosmic tornado. A distant galaxy. The new image of James Webb allows us to see this luminous object with great definition, showing us the small details of a distant spiral galaxy. In its bluish center are the oldest stars. In its spirals of more reddish tones the galactic dust and areas of intense star formation would be concentrated. Comparison between the image of the Spitzer Space Telescope taken in 2006, and the last Inagen captured by the James Webb. NASA, ESA, CSA, STSCI, NASA-JPL, SSC Back to the foreground. But, let’s return to Herbig-Haro 49/50, the foreground of the image. The cloud of matter we see is within our galaxy, about 625 light years from our solar system. What we see are waves of bright hydrogen molecules, carbon dioxide and dust grains loaded with energy, red and orange tints in this false color photo. This formation is found in the Chamaeleon I cloudy complex, one of the regions with the formation activity of closer stars in our galaxy. Experts estimate that this “jet” of matter moves between 100 and 300 kilometers per second. And what about the star you are emanating? Astronomers believe that it is about cederblad 110 IRS4, a protoestrella Located at 1.5 light years From this cloud and visible in the image of the JWST, below right. Cederblad 110 IRS4 is a class I protoestrel, that is, it is in a rapid accumulation phase of matter. A combined image. The new image captured by the JWST is a combination of several snapshots taken by this telescope fruit of international collaboration. To create it Observations were combined of two of the instruments of James Webb, Nircam (Near-Infrared Camera), And Miri (MID-INFRAED INSTRUMENT).

will impose 25% cars tariffs manufactured outside the country

by

Donald Trump announced this Wednesday their intention to impose new tariffs on Imported cars. The measure is part of its aggressive economic strategy and could open a new front of tensions with neighboring countries and the European Union. From the Oval office, the former president said that he will apply 25% tariff to “all cars that are not manufactured in the United States”, starting from the current 2.5% base. In their own words, these new tariffs will join the existing ones. Entry into force. Although the announcement is already official, the new measures will not be applied immediately. The tariffs will enter into force on April 2, date that will also mark the beginning of the reciprocal measures long announced by the president. The “great three.” Trump said he had addressed the issue with the main car manufacturers in the country – Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. In his own words, the message was clear: “If you don’t have factories here, you will have to start and build them.” Increased price in sight. As Tax Foundation points outtariffs work, in practice, as taxes applied to imported products. That extra cost usually falls to importers, which in most cases transfer it directly to the final consumer. Impact on exporters. If brands that manufacture cars outside the US fail to absorb the additional cost of tariffs, They could lose ground in front of local options. In that scenario, consumers would tend to choose vehicles produced within the country. The US imports many cars. Although the automobile industry is part of the United States industrial DNA, the country depends largely on imports. Almost half of the cars sold in the United States come from abroad, which amplifies the impact of new tariffs. According to 2024 data from World’s Top Exportsthese are the main exporting countries and their weight in imports in the country. Mexico: 22.8% Japan: 18.6% South Korea: 17.3% Canada: 12.9% Germany: 11.7% First reactions.

Españita is using the latest chatgpt novelty for the only possible

by

A few years ago, before the boom of Chatgpt and that the big technological ones were launched to The artificial intelligence career (AI), Hayao Miyazaki, Mangaka and heavyweight in the history of anime, confessed What seemed the animations with this new technique: bad. Fatal. Worse. “I would never want to incorporate this technology into my work in any way. I firmly believe that this is an insult to life itself,” Miyazaki confessed After they showed him a video generated with the in which a creature could be seen crawling. They are major words taking into account that Japanese is one of the founders of Studio Ghibli and made possible works such as ‘My neighbor Totoro’. The time (and internet) have played a bad pass to Miyazaki. If you give yourself A Tour of Networksespecially by X, you are likely to find yourself with a good (and growing) handful of anime -style images to which Miyazaki would have a divided heart: by aesthetics they would not disregard a work by Studio Ghibli, but they are not creations of any study, but of AI. In addition, much of its content does not seem to fit a priori in an epic movie. People have discovered that there are what can generate anime versions of iconic moments of history. And at least in the case of Spain he has done something unexpected?: Playing moments and chanante characters in homeland, since Jesús Gil in his jacuzzi To Míchel palpating the testicles of the kid Valderrama In the Bernabéu or Fraga giving a bath in Palomares. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The last viral challenge that is spreading through the Elon Musk network and that leaves a few examples is to take iconic images of the story, ask an AI to recreate them as if they were illustrations of a manga comic or parts of an anime movie and then upload them next to a brief message, such as “In The Coming Days, People Are Going to Anime Every iconic photo In History “. The viral challenge has started after Chatgpt Update The GPT-4O multimodal model with a native image generator that facilitates among other things to edit historical photos. There are those who are using it for the challenge. And who opts for other tools, such as Grok. In any case, they attract attention for more than their style, worthy of a manga comic. Beyond the form is the background. Many of the images that are being shared, especially elaborated by creators from outside Spain, respond to Historical moments especially sensitive, like The murder by John F. Kennedy of 1963, the attack of the Twin Towers or Protests in Tianamen Square of 1989. iconic facts. With a quick search are also recreations of other episodes and relevant characters, such as Hitler’s visit to Paris, Napoleon Bonaparte in The popular portrait On horseback that Jacques-Louis David, the Soviet flag Honding at the Reichstag or even the attack that Trump suffered in July.

However the viral challenge has served here For something else: pull a sneer and recreate episodes, memes or chanantes (or even casposing) characters as if they had just left the study of Miyakazi and are part of an anime. What does that translate? In an extensive list of illustrations that show from the episode of Míchel and the kid Valderrama in the Bernabéu to Fraga in full soaking in PalomaresJesús Gil put in a jacuzzi surrounded by girls in Biquini, Karlos Arguiñano in the kitchen or the Fuentecerrada child speaking from your pool.

China accumulates unfortunate data centers, and it is not the only

by

When Chatgpt broke into the scene in November 2022unleashed one of the most intense technological careers in recent years. Companies and governments rushed to take positions so as not to stay out of the rise of the artificial intelligence. In the center of that reaction were the data centers: key infrastructure that make it possible to train language models that shape chatbots and other AI -based applications. American giants such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta They announced the expansion of their infrastructure beyond their borderswith millionaire projects that also arrived in Spain and They unleashed authentic fever for this type of facilities in the region. The AI ​​earthquake also shook China, where the central government declared its development as a national priority and promoted the creation of new infrastructure to sustain it. The data centers boom begins to stagger According to IDC analysis firm databetween 2022 and 2024, more than 200 projects linked to data centers focused on artificial intelligence were tendered, distributed in 28 provinces and 81 Chinese cities. The growth rate shot against previous years, with a wave of “intelligent computer science” initiatives that not only sought to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure, but also promised to boost local economies. There were several well -known names in this part of the world: Alibaba, Bytedonce – the Tiktok matrix -, Tencent, Baidu or Deepseek, all betting hard for this land. The objective was clear: if artificial intelligence was going to mark the future, China could not afford to be left in front of the United States. In order not to lose positions in this race, the Asian giant needed to move fast, very fast. Although neither companies nor governments said it openly, each new project was announced with full awareness that technology was not yet mature enough, and the business model, either at all defined. The bet – as it usually occurs in this type of initiatives – was based on the expectation that, sooner or later, it will generate a relevant economic value, either directly or indirectly, for those who are promoting it. Despite the millionaire investments in new data centers, China’s enthusiasm for large -scale linguistic models is losing strength. As Mit Technology Review collectsmore than half of the recently built computer resources remain without using. To this situation are added factors such as the lack of technical and market experience of many of the actors who bet on this type of infrastructure for being a trend. The result: dozens of smaller data centers are looking for customers willing to pay for their use, but the truth is that, although China is a huge market, demand is not responding as expected. The large technological groups in the country are already dealing with their own infrastructure, and smaller companies, instead of training their own models in these centers, are opting for payment solutions for use. Finally, they point out that many of the data centers built in recent years were designed thinking about pre -entry workloads, that is, long and demanding processes that require huge volumes of data. However, the current demand focuses on inference: executing models already trained to offer real -time responses. And that is where many of these infrastructure are not prepared. A phenomenon that extends beyond China According to TD Cowen analysts cited by BloombergMicrosoft would have canceled new data centers projects In the United States and Europe. The company has not made official statements, so it is not yet clear what facilities would be affected. However, experts point to a concrete cause: the reduction of commitments with Openai, the startup of AI in which Microsoft has invested billions. For years, Openai depended exclusively on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. But that changed recently, when opening to other computer suppliers. In parallel, Microsoft maintains plans to invest 80,000 million dollars in data centers during its current fiscal year, which ends in June. Even so, analysts expect that investment rhythm will later decelerate an unexpected movement. Images | DC Studio | Scott Rodgerson In Xataka | Personalized GPTS are one of Openai’s great inventions.

The contestants of ‘The island of temptations’ have made a new face after the program. It is a symptom of something else

by

This year, the island of temptations has become a viral phenomenon, and much of the prominence has fallen to a particular person: José Carlos Montoya. However, this edition has not only managed to be the most seen of all editions, According to Mediaset herselfbut it is also the edition where the aesthetic touch -ups of the contestants have attracted attention to the networks. Many touch -ups. In this edition, the program has had a total of seven couples. Although five initially entered, during the recording two more were added after the departure of others. As a result, we have seen 14 participants, many of whom, when leaving the realityhave decided to undergo various aesthetic treatments, Most in the same aesthetic centerranging from the use of botox and hyaluronic acid to rhinoplasties and lipotransferences. The most radical changes. Of all the casting, three have been the most commented due to the magnitude of their aesthetic changes: Álvaro Rubio, Tadeo Corrales and Guillermo Zamora, the latter a tempting. First, Álvaro has decided to perform a lipotransference, As the clinic shows in networkswhich consists of eliminating the fat from the abdomen and the flanks to transfer it to the buttocks. In addition, a Botox jaw and injected profile has been performed. It is followed by the case of Tadeo, who has undergone a total facial change. Unlike his classmates, he went to another professional, Who shared the process in networksmentioning the use of hyaluronic acid and neuromodulators.

“New realities demand a new level of preparation in Europe.” The phraseIt is from the president of CE, Úrsula von der Leyen, and defines well The turn who has just given Brussels with the presentation of his ‘Union strategy’a plan with which Brussels aspires that EU homes are prepared for “emerging threats and crises.” Among its 30 guidelines there is a especially curious And that has generated expectation: Brussels wants European homes to supply enough supplies to survive without external help at least 72 hours during emergencies. You will not have to look far to know how to do it: in Finland he has a teacher who has been doing pedagogy for some time about the importance of prepare for crisis and that households are self -sufficient for 72 hours. Prepare for emergencies? That’s how it is. The CE has just launched a plan with which the 27 member countries (and their homes) are more prepared to “emerging threats.” Which is it? In The statement in which the EU initiative presents some, such as Climate changethe natural disastersthe Cybersecurity… And “the growing tensions and geopolitical conflicts”, the latter especially interesting with the EU in full Rearme process and distancing Between Brussels and Washington. To make it clear that the plan approach is wide von der Leyen He stressed The importance of households living in flood areas know how to act whether their houses are flooded or expedite the response times against forest fires. Of course they are not the only emergencies in mind. Yesterday The country The draft advanced From the document and among the threats for which Brussels wants us to be prepared “the possibility of armed aggression”. Click on the image to go to Tweet. And how do we prepare? The strategy drawn by Brussels touches many sticks. In fact it includes 30 “key actions” and an action plan in which we talk about issues such as preparing hospitals and schools, improving the storage of critical materials, reinforcing civil-military cooperation, improving disaster prevention and threats and working with partners such as NATO. Among all these proposals there is one however one that has generated expectation: the European Commission wants households to have “essential supplies during a minimum of 72 h in emergency situations. “ In The practice That happens that families have water reserves, medications, batteries and sufficient foods to subsist three days without help. “In case of external disturbances, the initial period is the most critical,” warns the CE In his draft. For the message to be even clearer, today, coinciding with the presentation of the Community Strategy, the Crisis Management Commissioner, Hadja Lahbib, has hung A video in which it reveals what should be included in an emergency kit. Is it a surprise? No. And not only by the international climate, marked by three years of war in Ukraine and the awareness that Europe will not be able to count forever (and unconditionally) with “The security umbrella” of the US. Months ago the former president of Finland, Sauli Niinisto, elaborated A broad report on behalf of Von der Leyen in which the “urgency” of strengthening Europe was already advancing to changes in “the geopolitical and security panorama.” “The key task today is to ensure that we are able to provide security to Europeans and are prepared for all risks,” Niinisto insisted at the time. One from The observations collected in their report pointed out that all homes must be equipped to be self -sufficient for at least 72 hours. And those orientations They have played a key role in the plan now drawn up by Brussels. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Is there any reference? Yes. Finland herself, an EU member who shares More than 1,300 km of border with Russia and Lidia with other handicaps, such as its climate or war history.

What there is no doubt is that Finland has managed to expand the message that households must provide resources and prepare to endure independently for at least three days in case they deal with, for example, supply cuts. He recognizes it in The Guardian Suvi Aksela, of Nasta: “The 72 hours have become a brand here in Finland.” To achieve this, their authorities have had to make an interesting pedagogy effort that goes back several years.
