The 1803 map that aspired to summarize the entire history of humanity

by

He 19th century It is still today one of the most fascinating periods in history. It produced numerous ideological, political and technical revolutions that forever shaped contemporary times. At the same time, he opened the doors of a world, expanding numerous discoveries, contacts between various civilizations and scientific advances. The change was structural and all levels. Hence the cartography also evolved. The dawn of modernity were plagued by graphic innovations that would give way to the cartographic crafts of our time. It was no longer simply to represent the world (after the century it would already be practically explored and uncovered in its entirety), but to locate the human being in it. Nature tamed, wasn’t it time for map To humanity itself? We have already seen how Illustrators like JH Colton either John B. Sparks They tried to do so through an innovative format: the river, a continuous current since the beginning of the times of which They would break down tributaries in the form of cultures and civilizations. Those were imaginative and prisoners of their time, plagued by a rampant Eurocentrism and full of historical and political clichés. However, they were interesting for themselves, because they aspired to capture in a single graph the passage of time. All the time. The work of both, but especially of Colton, would contribute to expand the explanation of history and social geography through graphic tools. But it wasn’t seminal. Such honor may correspond to the author of the probably first histomapa always: Friedrich StrassAustrian cartographer. Entitled Der Strom der Zeiten (The current of time), The Enlightenment would see the light as soon as 1803, time before Napoleon had raised his empire. The excellent graphic and bold finish of the representation would enjoy great success, being translated into several languages ​​and serving of remote influence for other activists, educators, geographers and illustrators (From Emma Willard until Eugene pick). Der Strom der Zeiten I drank in part of Joseph Priestly’s ideasBritish philosopher, and aspired to capture a vertical understanding of the history of human beings. Under the title of “History of the World”, part of a gray nebula of which cultures already known by then. The Greeks, the Assyrians, the Italians, the Chinese or the Phoenicians. Strass focuses your attention in European peoples and cultures, marginalizing the development or prominence of African or Asian empires. The beginning of everything. (David Rumsey Collection) Detail of the first villages. (David Rumsey Collection) The importance of the Roman Empire. (David Rumsey Collection) It was a common evil of the illustrators, intellectuals, scientists and European thinkers of the time. China and India monopolized half of the world’s population and half of its economic production for centuries. However, the Strass river quickly focuses on The Roman Empire Like the Muñidor of so many civilizations of the present, and from which numerous central states would arise to the development of Europe, such as Spain or France. Eastern cultures. (David Rumsey Collection) Latin kingdoms. (David Rumsey Collection) Taxes arise, unify and disappear as time progresses. Strass’s historical gaze was essentially elitist: he listed the monarchs and leaders based on their possessions (Felipe II and Carlos V become the longest river tributary of their time) in chronological way. To the right are felt Asian civilizations. Others, such as African or American, do not even appear. Der Strom der Zeiten It is an incomplete map of human history, but one of great relevance for the development of a different look at the passing of time and the position of the human being in it. And next to all this, it is still beautiful today.

Salt water, CO2 and electricity are the new recipe to create more sustainable cement and concrete

by

Cement is one of the most used artificial materials on the planet, but has two problems. The first, environmentalsince its production emits a remarkable amount of greenhouse gases. The second, the shortage of raw materials such as sand, whose mined also has an environmental impact. A new material. A team of researchers from the Northwestern University and the company ️Cemex Innovation Holding has developed A new construction material through a process that combines marine water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and electricity. This new material can be used in the production of cement and concrete and, according to its developers, in its production more CO2 than it emits. That is why the new material has the ability to make the most sustainable cement and concrete production. Salt water, CO2 and current. The method to create the new material begins by introducing electrodes in the salt water to circulate an electric current that separates water molecules into hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions. As explained by the development responsibleWhile the current circulates, CO2 bubbles are added to the water in order to change the chemical composition of the water by increasing the concentration of bicarbonate ions. The ions of these two compounds (hydroxide and bicarbonate) react with other ions that can be dissolved in marine water, such as calcium and magnesium. From these chemical reactions both calcium carbonate (CACO3) and magnesium hydroxide arise. The first compound, Continue explaining the teamit is in itself a carbon sink; The second, on the other hand, is able to capture additional carbon interacting with CO2 molecules. Copying nature. According to its developers, the process is similar to that used by corals and mollusks to build their structures and shells. The key difference is that these animals use their own metabolism instead of electrical energy to detonate the chemical process. Different uses. The resulting material, a Mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxidecan be used as a substitute for the sand or gravel used in concrete manufacturing, but can also be used to produce cement, plaster and even paint. More control. The resulting material has an important advantage and that its properties can be altered by introducing small changes in the elaboration process such as the current and its voltage, or the duration of the injection of CO2, among others. Thus it is possible to achieve a more porous or more dense and hard substance. The details of the process and its results were published In an article In the magazine Advanced Sustainable Systems. Optimizing the capture of CO2. Another important factor is the calcium carbonate ratio and magnesium hydroxide obtained in the resulting material. This ratio depends, for example, the captured amount of carbon dioxide. According to The developers explaina 50/50 mixture of the compounds can allow to capture a ton of CO2 for every two tons of material. A more harmless waste. The process, as we indicated at the beginning, begins with the separation of water molecules. This generates, in addition to the ions used to unleash the subsequent chemical, hydrogen reactions. This gas is not only harmless but can also be used as an energy reserve. Of course, because electricity is part of the manufacturing process of this material, it must be taken into account that the net emissions of its production will depend on the mix energetic. That is, if the energy used in the process emits CO2 that is not captured, part of the capture would be lost. Another detail to keep in mind is that a good part of CO2 emissions associated with cement production They are generated at a different stage of its manufacture, when the sand is crushed with the limestone and heated at high temperatures capable of decomposing calcium carbonate. This problem occurs if the material is used in the creation of the cement and not when it is mixed later with it in the production of concrete.

Mexico has decided that bullfights are without blood. Spain already tried it in the Balearic Islands and did not go well

by

In 2022 there were A first conato. In Mexico, a nation whose strong tradition to bullfights is equated with Spain, “the holidays” were prohibited. However, the Supreme Court revoked the suspension and returned. Solution? In an unprecedented event in La Nación, Mexico City has decided that there will be no blood in the runs. In Spain similar initiatives have been carried out, although with discouraging results. End to deaths. As we said, in a historical decision, the Congress of Mexico City approved by an overwhelming majority of 61 votes to 1 the prohibition of traditional bullfights, eliminating the possibility of hurting or killing To bulls during these events. The legislation, promoted by legislator Xóchitl Bravo Espinosa and backed by the Head of Government Claudia Sheinbaumwill allow the realization of runs without violence or blood, in which they will only be used CAPOTES AND WITHOUT STAQUES No flags. The prohibition marks a milestone in the city with the largest bullring on the planet, The Plaza Méxicowith capacity for 42,000 spectators and epicenter of a tradition with almost 500 years of history in the country. Of course, the bullfighting sector has reacted with indignation, announcing legal challenges and protests against the measure. An intermediate measure. Unlike a total prohibition, the reform will allow a version of bullfighting in which bullfighters can only use the cape and the red crutch, with a maximum duration of 15 minutes per bull and a limit of six bulls per event. According to Bravo Espinosa, this measure seeks balance animal welfare With the economic protection of those who depend on the industry, such as sellers, bull breeders and employees of the squares. The problem? That the defenders of bullfighting consider that the new regulation completely distorts the essence of tradition. The Plaza México described the reform as “A clear threat to one of the most entrenched cultural traditions in the country”, while bullfighting groups have declared that they will legally fight to reverse the prohibition. Context of a battle. The truth is that the prohibition in Mexico City is the most recent chapter of a battle that has been gaining ground in different parts of the country. Since 2013, Five of the 31 states of Mexico They have banned bullfights, reflecting the growing rejection of bullfighting. As We explainin 2022 a federal judge He suspended the runs in the capital after a demand from a group of human rights. However, the Supreme Court He revoked the suspension and allowed him Return of events In January 2024. Now, with the new legislation, traditional runs are officially eliminated in Mexico City, although bullfighting industry continues to seek legal mechanisms to challenge the measure. A cultural shock. The debate on bullfight has transcended the legal scope and has become A symbol of tension between respect for traditions and the evolution of social values ​​around Animal rights. While the defenders argue that bullfighting generates tens of thousands of jobs and that the number of bulls sacrificed is insignificant compared to livestock in general, opponents have denounced the brutality of the show. According to data from the Congress of Mexico City, in 2019 there were 168 bulls sacrificed in Plaza México, which activists consider a sample of unnecessary suffering inflicted on animals. The group Animal heroeswhich for six years leads the Mexico campaign without bullfights, celebrated the reform, but warned that they will continue to fight for the total abolition of bullfighting in the country. For his part, Salvador Arias, a Mexican bullfighting lawyer, said that a similar model already had failed in Spain In the Balearic Islands, where the lack of interest led to its disappearance and, shortly after, to its revocation by the Spanish courts. The case of Balearic Islands. What happened in Spain dates back to 2017, when the Balearic Parliament approved a law that prohibited the death and suffering of bulls in runs, establishing what was called “Cumshots without blood”. This regulation required that the bulls were not subjected to physical damage and that the runs would be limited to 10 minutes per animal, without the possibility of using flags, estas or swords. The measure was held by the defenders of animal rights, but caused The rejection of the bullfighting sector and led to an intense debate about the viability of the show without its traditional component. The sentence. In December 2018, the Constitutional Court of Spain annulled the lawarguing that he invaded state powers on cultural heritage, since bullfighting had been declared in 2013 as part of the country’s intangible cultural heritage. With that decision, the traditional runs with death of the bull again in the Balearic Islands in 2019, although with additional restrictions imposed by the regional regulations, such as the prohibition of the entry of minors to the Celebrations. The Judgment of the Constitutional Court It was a setback for the anti -urine movement in Spain and evidenced the legal difficulties to prohibit bullfighting at the autonomous level without a major legislative reform. Extinction or transformation. Thus, the Government of Mexico City will have a period of seven months To issue the final regulation on runs without violence, including the participation of all parties involved. Mayor Clara Brugada He celebrated the decision and described it as a great advance in animal protection. Although the prohibition has already been approved, the future of bullfighting in Mexico remains in dispute. Bullfighting and fans have warned that they will continue to fight in court to reverse the measure, while activists continue to press for Total eradication of runs in the country. What seems clear is that the resolution in the Mexican capital could be the trigger for other states to follow the same path, marking an irreversible change in a tradition that has defined the cultural identity of the country for centuries. That without having the great unknown: knowing if the public will accept this new form of bullfighting without blood or if, as in Spain, the option does not work out.

This disastrous adaptation of one of the most beloved series of the 80s was a box office failure. But he’s sweeping in Netflix

by

He caught the attention at the time for two very different issues: on the one hand, it is the adaptation, hopeful, of one of the most legendary anime of the eighties, one that, in Spain, in addition, ignited the fondness of Japanese animation as significantly as his contemporaries ‘Dragon Ball’ or ‘Champions’. On the other, it was notorious for his Capital failure: only seven million dollars at the box officea completely improper collection for an adaptation of such a known series. We talk, of course, ‘The Knights of Zodiac’based on the legendary manga of Masami Kurumada and its running anime version, and now it is Available in Netflix. Interestingly, and although the number 1 in films is occupied by the (either very brilliant) ”Electric status‘, has reached a surprising number 2. Once again, films that are shipwrecked in cinemas find their space on the platforms of streamingwhere spectators find it easier to take a risk in search of content. In this new version we will meet Seiya, a teenage conflicting who makes a living fighting for money while looking for her kidnapped sister. When In one of his fights, mystical powers are revealed that he did not know, The young man discovers a world of saints at war, magical training and a reincarnated goddess who asks for her protection. It has a reserved place within the Knights of the Zodiac. The quality of the film was compared at the time with the disastrous adaptation in real image of ‘Dragon Ball’, although ‘The Knights of Zodiac’ is, perhaps, a step above. The sympathetic presence of a couple of stars in low hours (Famke Janssen and Mark Dacascos) and some, despite everything, overwhelming combat choreographies, make the disturbing disturbing in times: between horrendous digital effects and sub -sub -branches of a devastating ramp, a completely unworthy film of the epic touch and the adorable ingenuity of the original mangain.

Claude joins the list of attendees who challenge Google with updated responses

by

During the last decades, Google got so much in our lives that we ended up adopting the verb “google” as a synonym for looking for information. Phrases like “Give me a second to google” or “Did you google?” They became part of the day to day. But things are changing from the hand of artificial intelligence (AI). A giant who begins to give ground. Google is no longer the only access door to information. More and more users resort to attendees promoted by artificial intelligence (AI) to find answers. And that is where Perplexity, Chatgpt and now Claude come into play, who are gaining strength. Why we should pay attention. That a chatbot of AI can search the website makes the difference. Without that capacity, their answers are based only on the data with which it was trained, which can leave out key information or make it be left behind in the face of recent changes. Claude now search on the web. Anthropic’s chatbot is already able to obtain real -time internet information. In addition, it includes direct appointments so you can check the sources for yourself. Instead of showing only results, Claude processes them and presents the information in a conversational format easier to understand. Use scenarios. Now that Claude can search the web, the question is clear: in what cases does this function make the difference? Its creators have identified several key uses in which Internet access improves experience with chatbot, although the real limit is put by users and their needs. Account transformation and improvement in success rates in sales equipment through more informed conversations with customers, based on the analysis of the sector trends and the identification of key points. Market data assessment in real time, profits and tendencies of the sector to optimize investment decisions and improve the accuracy of financial models. Preparation of subsidy proposals and more solid bibliographic reviews thanks to access to primary sources on the web, the detection of emerging trends and the identification of lagoons in current research. Detailed comparison of products, prices and reviews in multiple sources to make more founded purchase decisions. At the moment, only in the US. The search function on the Claude website is now available for payment users in the United States. There is no confirmed date for its arrival in Europe. His arrival to the old continent is an unknown and it is not clear if he could be affected by local regulations, as has happened with Apple and Meta. Expansion is a matter of time. Anthropic states that Claude’s website will “soon” more countries already users of the free plan. The latter makes sense since the competition offers access to the search without going through a box. It is not known when it will expand, but what is undeniable is that competition in AI does not stop accelerating.

Its scientists have detected a design failure in NASA’s reactor

by

United States and China are measuring their spatial capabilities In a race to build the first lunar base. Although NASA was victorious from the previous race to the moon against the Soviet Union, It is not so clear that it takes the lead On this occasion. For now, Chinese scientists They have found failures In a crucial element of NASA’s lunar program: its energy source. NASA’s lunar reactor. NASA leads US efforts to inhabit the moon with its partners of Artemisa agreements. The Chinese Space Agency CNSA and the Russian Roscosmos advancetogether with a small group of allies, in the development of the International Lunar Research Station (Ilrs), which It will start working in 2036 and Wait to house thousands of scientists. On the moon, one night lasts 14 terrestrial days, so more than solar panels will be needed to maintain the energy supply of the facilities. NASA He has been developing for years A small nuclear energy plant specially designed to function on the surface of the moon. This little fission reactor is called Fission Surface Power (FSP) and can generate 40 kW of power. China has found a failure. The researchers of the National Nuclear Corporation of China (CNNC) examined NASA’s proposal and discovered improveable aspects in their design. A study published by the Chinese scientific journal Atomic Energy Science and Technology Review these weaknesses focusing on the composition of nuclear fuel, the cooling system and the security control of the US reactor. Chinese scientists highlight the FSP reactor compact designbut they see a clear mistake in the choice of fuel. According to his study, the use of very enriched uranium cylindrical bars will require thick beryl layers as a armor to control intense radiation. In addition, it will limit the useful life of the reactor to about eight years due to the “fuel swelling” (fuel expansion), a phenomenon that makes the material increase in volume gradually due to radiation. To this we must add that the reactor has a simple control mechanism, less safe in critical situations. Remove, NASA, we do it. In addition to pointing out US design problems, CNNC scientists presented an improved version of the lunar nuclear reactor taking as reference both NASA design and an old Soviet space reactor called Topaz-II. The main improvements introduced by the Chinese lunar reactor are: Ring -shaped fuel bars: instead of solid cylinders, the bars have an annular shape, such as a hollow ring. Inside they have small uranium dioxide pills covered by stainless steel, allowing the heat generated by the nuclear reaction to dissipate better, using the interior and exterior of the refrigeration ring Double cooling system: The Chinese reactor has a cooling system based on a liquid metal (NAK-78) that flows through internal and external channels of annular fuel bars. This design allows the reactor temperature to be maintained below 600 ° C, which improves the safety and stability of the reactor Most efficient neutron moderator: Chinese design uses a material called ititrio hydride (YH1.8) as a moderator, the material responsible for slowing down neutrons, improving nuclear reaction and making it more efficient. Ititrium hydride is more stable than traditional nuclear moderators (such as zirconium hydride), which avoids dangerous hydrogen leaks and increases the safety and life of the reactor Less nuclear fuel necessary: ​​Thanks to its design and the use of Ititrium hydride as a moderator, the Chinese reactor needs only 18.5 kg of Uranium-235 in front of the NASA FSP reactor, which requires approximately 70 kg of U-235, almost four times more. Weight reduction is essential in space missions, not only due to cost savings, but because nuclear materials are being launched through the Earth’s atmosphere Your turn, United States. The Chinese reactor is up to 75% more efficient than that of NASA, and promises a useful life of 10 years, compared to the eight of the American reactor. This advance would potentially position China ahead of the United States in the objective of establishing a sustained and self -sufficient presence on the moon, since the constant energy that a nuclear reactor allows will be essential to be able to hold inhabited bases in the long term. But NASA design is not monolithic or closed. The expected thing is that, as China has done, the agency takes advantage of its opponent’s investigations to improve its own technology. What could also end up with companies that develop small modular reactors (SMR) for the supply of electricity on Earth. If something has space careers, they improve, based on research, technologies that end up moving to other industries. Images | POT In Xataka | We are building nuclear spacecraft again.

Huawei will manufacture its Kirin X90 for PC using the 7 Nm of SMIC

by

Huawei and Smic work side by side and intensity since they get it The US sanctions to China. Together they have managed to manufacture 7 Nm semiconductoras, for example, the soc Kirin 9000s of the Mate 60 Prousing an integrated circuit production technique known as Multiple patterning. This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity, although it works. These two Chinese companies have been forced to use the Multiple patterning in your teams of deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP) because the prohibitions of the United States and the Netherlands prevent the Dutch company Asml from selling their machine their machines in Chinese extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE). The latter allow to produce more advanced semiconductors than UVP equipment. Huawei and SMIC seem blocked in the 7 nm lithography A little over a year ago, in February 2024, the newspaper Financial Times said having had access to the statements of two experts who defended that SMIC was finalizing the refinement of their semiconductor manufacturing processes in their UVP machines. Its purpose, according to this source, was to have the necessary technology to manufacture Integrated 5 nm circuits Massively before the year 2024. For SMIC and its clients, among which Huawei is, this would be a very important achievement. The triple folding of Huawei, one of its most ambitious proposals, reuses a 7 nm soc However, Huawei’s 5 NM socates have not yet appeared. The chip Kirin 9010 which has happened to the 9000S model is also being manufactured in the 7 NM SMIC node using the technique of Multiple patterning. We can find this soc, for example, in Huawei’s new triple foldingthe mate ultimate design, which We have tried Just two weeks ago at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It is evident that the last smartphones of this company would have been wonderful to have a 5 -nm Soc. And to his GPU Asce for artificial intelligence (AI) too. But there is even more. According to Digitimes Asiathe CPU for PC Kirin X90 that will produce Huawei with the purpose of consolidating an alternative to Intel and AMD chips will also be manufactured in the 7 Nm node. In these circumstances it is reasonable to conclude that, for the moment, Huawei and SMIC are stuck in this integration technology. This is a big problem for China because it does not have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, AMD or Qualcomm, among other western alignment companies. The great hope of the country led by Xi Jinping is having as soon as possible Your own UVE photolithography teamsand it seems that they are close. In fact, as we tell you last week, A filtration has revealed that Huawei is already testing a prototype of one of these machines. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its commercial UVE machines in 2026 will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US.

SoftBank will pay 6,500 million per ampere. A new war chapter for data centers has just been written

by

At the beginning of last February the interest of the Japanese Softbank investment group was made public in The acquisition of the chips designer American ampere computing LLC. This last company is specialized in the development of Processors for serverswhich already put at that time on the table SoftBank’s intention to expand your business in large data centers. It made sense in a context in which the rise of the artificial intelligence (AI) is promoting that these facilities multiply at full speed. Just a month and a half later that strategic movement has established itself. According to your own AmpereSoftBank has just closed your purchase. He will pay 6,500 million dollars for this company and will have one more letter in the presumably prosperous business of the data centers. This investment group is The Arm owner since 2016; At the beginning of last October Invested 500 million dollars in Openai; And, in addition, it is one of the companies that lead The Stargate program with which the US seeks to sustain its dominance of AI. The war for data centers for AI is already underway The large technology companies that are involved in the deployment of AI are facing multimillion -dollar investments to develop their data centers infrastructure. Microsoft has confirmed that 80,000 million dollars will be spent during the fiscal year of 2025. and Google, 75,000 million. On the other hand, the Stargate program budget that I have mentioned a few lines above rises to no less than 500,000 million dollars. This is the cake from which SoftBank is being able to seize. At least a good portion. Ampereone chips will reach 256 nuclei for 2025 and presumably have a very competitive energy efficiency However, to achieve it the companies that control, or control in the short term, such as ampere, whose processors are implemented on ARM technology, will have to Compete with Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Google or Amazon. In any case, the ampereone chips, which are being manufactured by TSMC in their 3 nm node, will reach 256 cores For 2025 and will presumably have a very competitive energy efficiency. These are his great buzas against the proposals of the competition. The current situation is triggering something that is worth not overlooking. As Dan O’Brien has observedthe president of the American Futurum consultant, technology companies are forging strategic alliances with the purpose of molding the industry to their measure and maximizing the economic performance of their investments. As we have seen, SoftBank is the owner of ARM. On the other hand, Oracle has a very significant participation in Ampere, which will soon belong to SoftBank, and which is ARM client. In addition, all the companies in which we have just repaired, SoftBank, ARM, Oracle and OpenAi, participate in the deployment of the infrastructure required by the Stargate program. In any case, This network of dependencies does not end here. As we have seen, SoftBank is an important OpenAI investor, and this last company is Oracle’s partner and is trying to develop His own chips for ia. Finally, to curl the curl further, rumors that defend that Oracle is interested in buying Tiktok, a company that belongs to the Chinese company bytedance persists. SoftBank also has an important participation in the latter. As O’Brien argues In his tweet “everything is connected (…) It is fascinating to see how the technology titans shape the industry.” Image | Ampere computing LLC More information | Ampere computing LLC In Xataka | The B300 GPU is the new Nvidia beast for Ia.

The O1-PRO model of Chatgpt Pro is 140 times more expensive than the Chatgpt O3-mini. What is not clear is that it is much better

by

Paying $ 20 per month for accessing Chatgpt Plus did not seem too serious. The thing began to get interesting when Openai launched its chatgpt pro subscription at 200 dollars a month. But now there is an even more expensive version of these models, and this again shows that we are at the beginning of a worrying slope: that of AI prices. What happened. OpenAI He has just announced That O1-Pro, the most powerful version of its reasoning model, is now available through its API. Until now it was only possible to enjoy it in a limited way through the subscription to Chatgpt Pro, but now the developers can also create services with it. The striking is not really that the company offers this version, but the price at which it is available. 140 times more expensive than O3-mini. As we said, O1-Pro is only limited to Chatgpt Pro users. If someone wants to use it intensively through the API, prices They are really high: O3-mini O1 O1-PRO Price for 1m tokens input (dollars) 1.10 15 150 Price for 1m tokens output (dollars) 4.40 60 600 As can be seen, O1-Pro is 10 times more expensive than O1, and about 135 times more expensive than O3-mini, which is the version of the reasoning model that for example we can use (limitedly) in the free version of Chatgpt. Gold Price Tokens. That cost imposes an important barrier for those who want to use this AI model for projects in which we introduce a lot of text and want to obtain a lot of text. For example, if we want to analyze a lot of documents and We saturate The input context window (200,000 tokens) and the output (100,000 tokens), we will have a cost of $ 90 … for a single question and an answer (an API request). But is it really so good? Preliminary O1-Pro impressions in Chatgpt Pro They were not especially striking according to whom They have tried italso They have protested for one falling quality. According to Openai O1-PRO, it offers “responses that are better consistently”, and highlight that it is an O1 version that uses more calculation power to “think more and offer even better responses to the most complex problems.” For asking not to be. IA companies are losing a money training their models, but they hope to recover it with a simple technique: increasingly faces. Data leaked in The Information also pointed out how Openai were already raising how an AI agent could replace a “human doctorate” to investigate, the cost would be $ 20,000 per month. They seem faces, but maybe they don’t. Of course, the price of these subscriptions and these accesses to the API may seem expensive, but they can also be a true bargain. What matters here is the profitability that we can get out of these models of AI: if they help us generate many more income, we will end up having “robotic employees” who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and also do so with a productivity and quality of theoretically extraordinary work. But of course, we will first have to use them like this … and ensure that these results are effectively valid, something that for now does not seem so clear. In Xataka | AI agents are promising. But as in Tesla’s FSD, you better not take your hands from the steering wheel

streaming has generated a Milmillionaire bleeding in Apple accounts

by

Since, a few months ago, Apple started taking Expenditure containment measures related to its audiovisual productions it was learned that the company not only had to abandon its project to become a Major that competed with Disney or Warner in its same terms. In addition, the expense generated by Apple TV+ was excessive. But today we have known that it goes far beyond what the most pessimistic calculations ventured: it loses one billion dollars a year. It is not another Netflix. Today, In an interview for Variety commemorating his 25 years at the head of Netflix, Ted Sarandos responded thus when asked about his impressions about Apple’s role in the streaming: “I don’t understand it beyond a marketing play, but they are very intelligent people. They may see something we don’t.” Saraonds’s words can be an order or not, but it is clear who carries the lead: in July, Bloomberg spoke Of the immediate cuts that Apple TV+ was going to start because it had less vision in a month than Netflix in one day. The abyss between both competitors is indisputable. One billion a month. The Information Publish a report that analyzes the financial statement of the platform after five years. It states that Apple TV+ loses more than one billion dollars a year. The specialized medium in Apple 9to5Mac Comment on the articlestating that although it had always been said that the platform was not profitable, it had never had such concrete and forceful figures associated with its losses. A lot of investment, few income. The explanation of these spectacular figures is at the high cost of Apple films in recent years. The very expensive ‘Napoleon‘by Ridley Scott and’The Moon Killer‘Martin Scorsese were the first, but the authentic financial bomb was’ argylle’, which raised around 35 million dollars And it cost 200. After that, to a commercial candy like ‘Wolfs‘, starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, predicted a storm, and was released directly on the platform, with Apple assuming losses that perhaps they would have been greater carrying it to cinemas. The thrust of ‘separation’. The funny thing is that, at the image level, Apple TV+ goes through an excellent time. ‘Separation‘It has passed, with its long -awaited second season, of being a product of cult to reveal itself as one of the most unanimously acclaimed series of the moment.
