People are using AI on Tiktok to “travel in time” to some of the greatest catastrophes in history

by

Fever for the past (not because of history in its purest form, but for the sensations that were lived in other times) is increasingly strong, and now that the Millennials They are starting to experiment What gene x has been suffering in their flesh for years (nostalgia for what has been lived and not lived since you get up until you go to bed), it was only a matter of time that tools such as AI were added to fashion. Only this time nostalgia leads us to moments when technology (not already AI, but directly the electric current) had not invented, and gives rise to Trends how to live in the first person the black plague. What happened, happened. Dawn in Pompeya The day of the eruption of Vesubio, Work in Chernobyl In 1986 or be one of the witchcraft In the 17th century Salem are some of the historical hits of the videos generated by @timetravellerpovTiktok user who already has 472,000 followers and eight million ‘like’ accumulated in their creations, despite the short life of the account, which began at the beginning of the year. Of course, he already takes advantage of his fame to announce Video creation courses for AI similar to yours. The other face of the story. The most curious thing about the account is that not only publishes videos of historical facts that we cannot have lived for obvious reasons, but much more everyday experiences and that have nothing of historical transcendence (although emotional): being A teenager from the eightiesa small child In Great Britain of the Two Miles Or the most curious of all, for the recent facts: recall in the first person (like all these videos) what was Covid confinementwhich undoubtedly any user of the account will have recent. Millions of people in misfortunes. Of course, these are not the most visited videos, but the very viralized Chernobyl and The black plaguewith 32 and 24 million reproductions, which far exceed the most common between 1 and 3 million of the rest of the channel videos. It is clear that users want to experience unattainable misfortunes of the near or remote past, almost in tourist planand they begin to demonstrate with the comments of the videos, which usually have a tone close to “calm, which was a moment running for my life in Pompeii.” The problem of historical fidelity. It is clear that the primary objective of these accounts is entertainment, and not reflect in a reliable way what the past was. Some historian has already pointed out some gazapos of these videos (especially in their imitators): in one of the many on the black plague, houses with architecture other than the real or train tracks appear, something impossible in the fourteenth century. Others such as Pompeya favor the spectacular when we have records that speak of a different experience. The danger of these videos, beyond that they can spread erroneous visions, is in the malicious use: “People could manipulate the story; (…) and create a video that supports the denialists of the Holocaust,” says historian Amy Boyington For BBC. Imitors sprout. Of course, success has been born a good number of imitators, all more rough and less careful than @timetravellerpov, which despite its factual mistakes has more careful animations and more realistic setting, and flees (relatively) from the morbidity. They are accounts like @Chron0.viewwho has dared to portray crazy things such as Kennedy’s murder from the president’s point of view or 11-S attacks from within the Twin Towers. Some, like @the_pov_lab It exceeds the original account and almost all, of course, have their own version of life during the black plague.

The European megafauna is officially back. And experts warn: we will have to get used to

by

European biodiversity is constantly changing. While some species disappear from the continent, others arrive in the form of invasive exotic species. There are also those that return to the wild areas of the continent thanks, at least in part, to the efforts placed in their recovery. However, these efforts are not always welcome throughout the world. The return of some animals, and conservation policies that try to protect them from hunting and other threats have been a source of controversies that resurface periodically in the media. We have a recent example last summer, when the Court of Justice of the European Union (TJUE) was pronounced twice against lobos hunting. The first It was after a decision of the government of the federated state of Tyrol; the second, for Back a Castellanoleonese rule. The wolf’s hunt is still vetoed in Europe while its state of conservation is unfavorable. 2025 could see this change in it status of the wolf. A few months ago, the committee responsible for supervising the Berma Agreement accepted the proposal for the change in criteria. This may imply that in the coming weeks we see changes. In Xataka Send 167 wolves to the highlands to fight the deer: the crazy plan of Scotland to save their forests Like the wolf, the bear has also starred controversially for its conservation. Recent estimates about the population of brown bears in the Cantabrian mountain range speak of about 400 copiesan increase with respect to populations three decades ago where the estimate placed the number of copies Below 100. Again, the return of this animal to the Spanish mountains has generated certain risks. Problems that can affect both people as To the bears themselves. Perhaps we can also find examples of less controversial reintroductions, such as that of the Iberian lynx. Since the 90s, the native feline has been leaving the situation that almost led to extinction. The lynx are predators and There are no lack of cases in which these hunters have chosen farm animals like their prey. Problems of this type are not even limited to large or small predators. Even the proliferation of rabbits has been seen with alarm from part of the agricultural sector, proof that the relationship between humans and natural environment is not always easy. And what do we do? Find ways to manage coexistence between carnivores (Carnivorathe diverse taxonomic group that includes mammals such as wolves and bears, but also seals, hyenas and felines) has been the issue of a recent study prepared by a European group of researchers and Posted in the magazine People and Nature. The study deals with how to address interactions, how to plan and organize the efforts of local communities towards coexistence with these animals. To do this, it emphasizes the role of local communities when guiding how this relationship should be, communities whose forms of knowledge “are too overlooked and marginalized.” They attract attention, yes, about an important detail, which people are really part of these “local communities.” “This research is especially important in the pastoral areas of Europe, where populations of great carnivores such as the wolves who is ‘local’ here? What constitutes the ‘local knowledge’? And what can this knowledge contribute to the management of carnivores? ” explained in a press release Hanna Pettersson, co -author of the study. {“Videid”: “X8SPB12”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “The penguins are extinct and are not the animal you think”, “Tag”: “Webedia-Prod”, “Duration”: “235” } New research has been published in the days prior to the United Nations Biodiversity Conference held between today and Thursday 27 in Rome. This is precisely the debate forum in which issues such as this may be debated by the international community, not only at European level. In the face of the conference and the search for new solutions to coexistence between humans and carnivores, the team responsible for the study proposes an approach based on the conservation of spaces. To do this, it suggests the investment in “local practitioners networks” in charge of coordinating this local knowledge in the production of “strategies adapted for coexistence”.

The Webb Telescope observed the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. Has discovered a chaotic light show

by

Three years ago we saw for the first time The Supermassive Black Hole that inhabits the center of our galaxy. Now the James Webb space telescope has opened a window to study its surroundings. And it has turned out to be a chaotic show of lights that never stops. Context. In the center of the Milky Way inhabits A gigantic black hole called Sagittarius a*. Astronomers have managed to unravel the extreme dynamics of their accretion disk, the spiral of gas and dust that turns around it. To do this, they observed it for 48 hours (distributed in several periods of 2023 and 2024) using the Nircam instrument of the Webb Telescope. A disco ball. The observations revealed that sgr a* emits A continuous game of lights and flashes which is characterized by constant blinking interspersed with a series of intense eruptions. These emissions have a weak and continuous component, probably originated in the internal turbulence of the disc, and a bright and short -term component, eruptions associated with magnetic reconnection, in which magnetic fields collide and release huge amounts of energy. Fluctuations can occur in seconds or as changes that extend for days, weeks and months. The explanation. The study of these variable emissions, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letterssuggests that fluctuations intensify at major scales. According to researchers, the small internal disturbances of the disk, associated with fluctuations in density and magnetic field, generate the faint flashes, while large eruptions are related to specific events of magnetic reconnection, comparable to the solar flares, but at levels much older energy. “In our data we observe a constantly changing luminosity,” Farhad Yusef-Zadeh explainsmain author of the study. “Suddenly, Boom! A great explosion of brightness appears suddenly and then calms down, without following a fixed pattern.” This nature, apparently random, demonstrates that the accretion disc is regenerated all the time, causing between five and six and six Great daily rashes, in addition to multiple intermittent outbreaks. The lags. An advantage of the NIRCAM instrument of the Webb Telescope is its ability to observe two infrared wavelengths simultaneously (2.1 and 4.8 micrometers). This allowed researchers to compare how the brightness of eruptions with each wavelength changed. Surprisingly, they discovered that the events observed in the shortest wavelength changed shine a little before the events of the longest. “It is the first time that we see a delay in the measurements of these wavelengths,” said Yusef-Zadeh. “We notice that the longest wavelength is delayed between three and 40 seconds.” This finding is a key clue that energy particles lose energy as they cool, a process known as syncrotron cooling. New observations. Researchers now plan to make a continuous observation of up to 24 hours from SGR A* using the Webb Telescope, which will help them determine if eruptions follow repetitive patterns or if they are truly random. Each flash and every flicker on the accretion disk of the supermassive hole offers us a deeper understanding of physics on the events horizon, one of the most extreme environments in the universe. In other words, it helps us discover how space-time and matter behave under the influence of overwhelming gravity.

convert the escape of Helio de la Starliner into a great military advance

by

A few weeks ago, the two “stranded” astronauts in space after leaving for the International Space Station on June 5 aboard the Starliner ship, received good news: He had decided to advance his return. For Boeing, however, the mission fiasco is far from finishing. In fact, the company is Trying to sell your bleeding space division by piecesl. The latest: it seems that China has taken “oil” from the main problem of the Starliner. Boeing’s problem as inspiration. In a surprising return of technological nut, Chinese scientists seem to have transformed the serious crisis that affects NASA (and especially Boeing) in A revolution in aerospace propulsion. The Boeing Starliner capsule suffered multiple helium leaks that incapacitated their propulsion systems, leaving the two astronauts trapped at the International Space Station. That incident turned the heliuman ultralight gas traditionally used to pressurize liquid fuels, in A symbol of technical vulnerability. Now, Chinese researchers have seen in that same weakness a unique opportunity to develop a disruptive technology, a Able to revolutionize both the military and spatial field. Solid propulsion driven by Helio. The team of scientists, led by Yang Zenan of the Harbin University of Engineering, has revealed in a recent study Published in the Magazine Aeronautica et Astronautics Sinica How helium controlled injection can considerably multiply the performance of solid fuel rocket. Specifically, they discovered that by introducing helium through microscopic pores (about 2 mm) in the combustion chamber, It is possible to increase the specific engine efficiency by 5.77%. In addition, by precisely adjusting the proportion between helium and combustion gases (a part of helium for every four parts of fuel gas), scientists They managed to instantly triple the engine thrustcarrying it from 100% to 313% according to operational needs. Advantage: Thermal camouflage and invisibility. The use of helium is not limited to potential improvements or thrust. One of its most strategic advantages lies in the drastic reduction in the temperature of the exhaust gases. The helium, Being extremely light (With a molar mass of only 4 g/mol in front of the 29 g/mol of the typical combustion gases), expand and cool the escape flow, lowering its temperature by up to 1,327 degrees Celsius. This thermal reduction implies a radical decrease in the infrared signal of the missiles propelled by this technology, making them almost impossible to detect through infrared sensors modern military satellite employees such as Spacex Starshield and interceptor systems such as The SM-3 Block IIA. Also improved stability and safety. Another relevant feature of helium, highlighted by researchers, is Its chemically inert naturewhich avoids common problems associated with unstable combustion caused by other light gases, especially hydrogen. This ensures, they explain, that The flight is soft and predictableeliminating many operational risks that traditionally hinder the practical application of more volatile alternative technologies. In addition, by absorbing excess heat generated by combustion, helium not only reduces the exhaust temperature, but also Protects internal engine materials, extending its useful life and decreasing operational risks. Military and strategic applications. They count on work that from a strategic and military perspective, technology has deep implications. The Ability to quickly modulate the thrust of a missile in flight allows Unpredictable attack trajectoriessignificantly improving your maneuverability. This aspect is especially relevant to advanced defensive systems, since the combination of lower infrared detectability and variable acceleration capacity makes interception greatly difficult, especially in the context of defense against hypersonic missiles. According to Chinese researchers, this innovation could directly solve the current challenges facing their weapons systems in terms of speed, scope and thermal stealth, presenting a real challenge to antimile defenses developed by the United States. Civil and spatial potential applications. However, the benefits of this technological innovation transcend the military. According to the research team, this technique could also revolutionize the civil and commercial field, especially in The rapid and economical launch of satellites by solid fuel rockets. As? The capacity would be particularly valuable for urgent deployments in commercial, scientific or humanitarian contexts, providing an agile, profitable and adaptable solution against the expensive current launch systems. Current context and relevance. Meanwhile, in the United States the initial crisis continues. As we explained at the beginning, NASA recently announced that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, affected by the Starliner’s breakdown, Finally they will return to Earth in mid -March using a Spacex ship. In the words of the NASA Traffic Program manager, Steve Stich, the incident has demonstrated once again that “the human space flight is full of unexpected challenges.” Paradoxically, that same challenge that affected NASA and Boeing has served for Chinese scientists to achieve, on paper, a disruptive innovation that could deeply redefine the rules of technological and strategic game in the near future.

The only problem is that it has little car and a lot of evtol

by

We have been dreaming of seeing for years Flying cars touring our cities. Films like ‘The fifth element‘,’Blade Runner 2049‘ and ‘Total Recall‘They have drawn us a future where the traffic jams are resolved in the air, releasing the streets and transforming urban mobility. However, reality is still determined to go slower, with a variety of challenges that must still be resolved. These types of alternatives have not yet reached the market, although some companies promise to change the rules of the game. Alef Aeronautics, The company is developing “the first real flying car in the world”he has shown his prototype in action. In a video posted by CNBCthe vehicle rises with apparent on an SUV and lands right in front of him, suggesting that science fiction is one step closer to come true. However, the exhibition has left more questions than answers and at least one certainty: what we have seen resembles the floating cars of cinema and much more to a car -shaped evtol. Alef Aeronautics flying car Model A, which is how the vehicle has been baptized, aims to become a low -speed electric vehicle, a category that in the United States and Canada encompasses golf carts and has several restrictions, such as a Maximum speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph). The flying car, they explain, can travel a distance of about 320 kilometers per earth or 177 kilometers by air. At the moment it is not clear how many people can transport, what comforts will offer passengers and other details. Model A during one of its most recent tests Alef Aeronautics explained to the press present in the exhibition that is limiting the information to protect its intellectual property. Nor allowed journalists to get too close to the vehicle. In fact, according to the American media, at no time saw the driver enter or get out of the car. Although everything indicates that there is still work to be done, the startup claims to have received more than 3,200 orders and promises that the production of Model A will start at the end of this year or the beginning of 2026. A Model A render in full flight The emerging company indicates on its website that the flying car will cost about 299,999 dollars. While Ferrari and Tesla play in different leagues, we take their prices as a reference: the vehicle would cost more than a Tesla Model S or a Ferrari Roma Spider. And for those who look for something that really fly, a helicopter like the Robinson R22 Beta II Round the $ 350,000. The Chinese firm Xpeng Aeroht, meanwhile, is working on a hybrid concept, A car that hides an evolution in the trunk. Alef Aeronautics was born in 2015. The first design was nothing more than a sketch on a napkin, but a year later they already had a prototype to subscale. The company continued to advance with tests in wind tunnels and computerized simulations, until in 2019 it managed to fly its first full -size prototype. Recently, he has signed agreements with Spanish firms Pucara Aerospecialized in the manufacture of aeronautical pieces, and MYCfocused on aeronautical production.

You have to put very large quotes on the "reasoning" of the AI: Welcome to the "irregular intelligence"

by

The second definition of reasoning according to The Spanish Language Dictionary is to “order and relate ideas to reach a conclusion.” That is just what do models of AI such as O3-mini, Openai or Deepseek R1. They collect information, order it and build an answer in which they reach a conclusion. Are these models models that “Reason” really? It is an inevitable question with a difficult answer. From that term began to be used, in Xataka We often came to quote itbecause comparing the theoretician “reasoning” of these machines with human reasoning is delicate. And it’s how they indicate In Voxscientists are still trying to understand how reasoning in the human brain works. There are in fact various types of reasoning such as the deductive (from a premise we reach a conclusion) or the inductive (we perform a wide generalization from a series of observations). {“Videid”: “X95L504”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Counting with OpenAi O1”, “Tag”: “OpenAi”, “Duration”: “88”} Divide a problem into parts to solve it It is also reasoning about him. It is in fact the idea after which is the so-called “chain of thought” (“Chain-of-Thought”) of which OpenAI I already talked in September 2024when o1 was launched. It is a process that mimics to some extent to human reasoning in such problems, but is the machine reason as people do? For some experts one of the things that distinguish us (for the moment) of the machines in this type of tasks is that we can discover “a rule or pattern from limited data or experience and to apply this rule or pattern to new and unknown situations “ This was stated by Melanie Mitchell – of the Santa Fe Institute – and his colleagues In a study about the “reasoning” capabilities of AI models in November 2023. At that time there was still almost a year for O1 and other rival “reasoning” models, but the data remains valid, because the models of AI follow needing to be training with vast amounts of information. In Xataka O3 Rate as high as human programmers in a reasoning and abstraction. It is just what OpenAi needs But Mitchell analyzed The spectacular O3 performance in ARC tests a year later, and was surprised at how well he had behaved. He also caught the large amount of computer resources that required that “reasoning” capacity, and wondered if the machines were really using the type of abstraction that were really needed for those tests. There are studies that precisely question that AI is “reasoning.” October 1, 2024 signed by four researchers from the Institute of Technology of Israel and the Northeastern University wondered if the LLMS (Large Language Models, great language models) Solve these reasoning tasks learning robust and generalizable algorithms, or do so memorizing the data with which they have been trained. Do they use heuristics and experience, or “think”? The conclusion reached after their evidence is that there is apparently a mixture of both: they implement a set of heuristics – a combination of memorized rules – to carry out their arithmetic “reasoning”. They do not “reason”, or at least they don’t do it as human beings do. Above all, experts criticize, they apply heuristics and a series of memorized data to solve the problem. Their ability to extrapolar them and adapt to new problems is limited. They are applied students, but they are not “great.” The ARC-AGI test tries to raise evidence that for human beings are relatively simple, but with which the models of AI have a really bad time. For other experts, such as Shannon Vallor, from the University of Edinburgh, what AI does is once again, imitate human behavior. They do traditional chatbots such as Chatgpt when generating text, and also do these “reasoning” models by imitating RL human reasoning process, decomposing the problem and trying to solve it by stages. Some researchers They speak Of an irregular intelligence, because as Andrej Karpathy explained – Exoes ARC tests that for human beings are very simple. Until they stop getting stuck, of course. That is what all the companies of AI pursue with increasingly advanced and versatile models. Less irregular. And when they arrive (if they arrive) they may not have too much importance if they “reason” or not. And either Let’s quote That word.

The EU spent more in Russian oil and gas that in helping Ukraine

by

They are fulfilled three years since Russia began its invasion In Ukraine. During this time, The economic impact is still deep In both countries. Although general attention has been logically focused on human suffering, these days economic figures have been disclosed that reveal the magnitude of the damage: Ukraine records An annual inflation of 12%, while in Russia it reaches 9.5%. Numbers that show the persistence of economic deterioration on both sides. And next to this, another fact: Europe has invested more in Russia than in Ukraine. The “dependence” to Russia. A recent Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA): The European Union has allocated More money to the purchase of Russian fossil fuels than to direct financial support granted to Ukraine During the third year of the conflict caused by the Russian invasion. According to the analysis presented on the occasion of the third anniversary of the war, the EU spent approximately 21.9 billion euros in Russian oil and gas Only in the last year of conflict, significantly higher than The 18.7 billion euros delivered to Ukraine In financial aid for 2024, according to data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IFW Kiel). The data has many readings, but the main one is paradoxical, since the situation highlights a deep contradiction between the European verbal support to Ukraine and the concrete economic actions that indirectly benefit the Vladimir Putin regime, providing essential income to sustain its military campaign. Historical figures and comparisons. The numbers are even more striking when the total expenditure on Russian fossil fuels by Europe is observed throughout the last year (2024), which exceeded 39% the financial aid assigned to Ukraine. In addition, the report emphasizes that Russia has obtained global income equivalent to 242,000 million euros only for energy exports During the third full year of the conflict, bringing their total profits from the beginning of the invasion to figures near the billion euros. In other words, European agency is especially critical when considering that Russia receives up to half of its fiscal income directly from the energy sector. The economist Christoph Trebesch of the IFW Kiel, although he did not participate directly in the analysis, The surprising gap remarked between the help mobilized for Ukraine and the economic support granted in previous historical conflicts. For example, Germany was considerably more generous during Kuwait’s liberation (1990-1991) compared to the provisions of Ukraine so far, measured proportionally in terms of national GDP. Consequences of energy dependence. The data leads to the same conclusion: the report underlines how this unit follows indirectly promoting war in Ukraine by economically sustaining the Russian government. Vaibhav Raghunandan, co -author of the study, explicitly declared that buying Russian fossil fuels It is practically equivalent to finance the Kremlinfacilitating the continuity of his military aggression. In addition, the Russia’s ability to overcome sanctions economic imposed by the West through its so -called “shadow fleet”of which We have spoken before (A fleet of old ships) allows the country to maintain approximately one third of its income from fossil fuel exports. The European response: sanctions and challenges. It is the last of the legs to be treated: what does Europe do? In reaction to these realities, European ambassadors recently approved new measures in its 16th round of sanctions against Russiadirected specifically against that “shadow fleet.” The report also warns that, strengthening existing sanctions and closing some legal gaps, The EU could reduce Russian income up to 20% from these fuels. In particular, he recommends close the so -called “refinement lagoon” (Through which Europe can acquire Russian oil processed in third countries), as well as even more restricting the Russian gas flow Through the Turkstream gas pipeline. In addition, the report indicates another emerging problem in European energy trade: The growing dependence on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). Although The EU has considerably reduced imports Russian gas channeled since the beginning of the conflict, partially compensated this decrease through greater imports of Russian LNG, which reached record figures in 2022, placing Russia as The second most important exporter From this type of gas to Europe. The war three years later. I counted in A report the Guardian On the economy of both countries since the beginning of the conflict that, in a Moscow key, traditional economic indicators seem to favor Russia. Although initially the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fell -1.3%, has shown a solid recovery in the last two years, growing at 3.6% annual according to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Instead, the Ukrainian economy suffered a dramatic collapse of 36% in mid -2022, closing that year with a 28.3% drop. Although Ukraine has managed to partially recover with growth rates of 5.3% in 2023 and 3% in 2024, its national income still remains 20% below the levels prior to invasion. Resiliation and perspectives. Despite adversities, Ukraine resilience has been remarkable. Christopher Dent, professor of international economy, argues that Ukraine has better long -term perspectives of what Russian propaganda affirms. A concrete example is the recovery of the Ukrainian electricity sector, which after The attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in 2023 (which caused losses of at least 2 billion dollars), has significantly increased its electrical exports to Moldova, Hungary and Romania, integrating more closely into the European energy network. Maritime trade through the Black Sea and the Danube continues to work, and agriculture also shows clear signs of recovery. The future potential of Ukraine also lies in its wide mineral resources, including metal deposits valued at about 11 billion dollars. On the other hand, tax collection has improved substantially, with significant increases in corporate taxes and consumptionalso supported by international IMF and Western agencies. Bad? On the other sidewalk and despite these advances, the Ukrainian economy faces huge structural challenges. The most important: the labor market remains negatively affected, with An unemployment rate of 16.8%aggravated by mass migration abroad and mandatory military recruitment. The adaptibility of Russia. For its part, Moscow, Despite international isolationhas demonstrated a … Read more

While the OPPO Reno12Pro had a plastic finish, the new Oppo reno13 Pro stands out on its rear manufactured from a single piece of sculpted glass and a frame of “aerospace grade aluminum.” On the back I have found what the manufacturer has called “Butterfly Design.” These are butterfly wings that have a fairly subtle presence. I have been able to verify that engraving varies in intensity according to lighting conditions, creating a dynamic effect when moving the device. We are not facing a laser engraving deeply marked on the surface, and, after seeing it in action, it gives me the impression that this detail has the possibility of unnoticed day to day. Especially if we use a case or simply cover it with the hand when talking on the phone, although this occurs with any phone. In any case, the combination of these characteristics makes the phone transmit a more premium sensation. There are no visible unions and construction has seemed robust during use. In addition, Oppo has done a good job with the rear, which, except for the camera module, repels the traces quite remarkably. I must recognize that the new distribution of photographic sensors has pleased me. The lenses, organized in grid, impose a presence for their size. Now, the design of this section It is not lushso it maintains a balanced and functional aesthetic, without falling into excesses or artifice that breaks the harmony of the device. From the technical point of view, we find a 50 MP wide camera, with F/1.8 opening, 84 -degree field of vision, automatic approach (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). He is accompanied by a 50 MP telephoto, also with AF and OIS, and an ultra wide angle of 8 MP, with a field of vision of 116 degrees, AF and OIS. On the front of the device we find a 6.83 -inch AMOLED screen, protected by the new glass CORNING GORILLA GLASS 7I. Bevels are noticeable, but thin enough as for unnoticed Once the device begins to be used, which adds another positive point to the experience. The sides of the device are worthy of a high -end mobile. They maintain the same location of the buttons as in the model released last year, but aluminum feels really good and integrates the antennas quite convincing. The chassis finish, as pointed out, suggests a balance between resistance and lightness. The mobile is equipped with a processor MEDATEK DIMENSITY 8350 With an 8 -core GPU. This is the successor of Dimensity 8300, which is committed to offering improvements in general performance, but focuses especially on games. We also find a battery jump, whose capacity is now 5,800 mAh. I have not been able to try the mobile in a pool (neither in a glass of water), but Oppo assures that it can immerse up to two meters For a maximum of 30 minutes, always in fresh water. That is, taking it on vacation to the beach is not a good idea. And why would we want to immerse it? To take some different photographs. The device has an underwater photography mode which allows you to capture both images and video. Since in this environment the touch screen is not an option, the volume buttons serve to take the captures and exchange between modes. In addition, they have told us that AI is responsible for optimizing the results. Artificial intelligence is again the protagonist Speaking of Aia, something that has caught my attention to Oppo’s commitment to this technology in a mobile that is not your flagship. The Reno1 Pro took that first step, democratizing this new technology in lower ranges, a trend that remains present in the reindeer. They are quite functional. We have AI Eraser 2.0, which allows us to eliminate unwanted objects from photos easily; Ai Liveppo, which records a video from 1.5 seconds and 1.5 seconds after pressing the shutter. The result is a 1080p clip. AI editor, meanwhile, allows us to improve quality, remove reflexes, correct the blur and more. Also Ai Studio, which … Read more

Spain has a plan to become the European green hydrogen leader. And it will cost us 1,214 million euros

by

With the corridor of H2Med almost run by A recent conflicthe First Iberian Price Index From established renewable hydrogen and a recent millionaire injection of European funds, Spain has everything to emerge as a leader in this sector. The ambition has come to stay. Injection of funds. The Government of Spain has announced which will allocate 1,214 million euros of the Newgeneu funds to seven projects located in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia to develop hydrogen valleys. These European aid will be distributed among green hydrogen production and distribution projects to decarbonize several energy and industrial sectors, under the H2 Valles program. The companies that are behind the projects are Moeve, Enagás, Reolum, Repsol, Ric Energy, Capital Energy, Fertiberia or Ercros, among others. The goal. In a press release, the vice president and minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, He has highlighted that “it is a call for strategic relevance that advances on the decarbonization agenda.” Requirements such as the purchase commitment of at least 60% of production by industrial consumers have been established. The Institute for Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), attached to the miteco, manages this line of incentives to integrate hydrogen into the energy mix and reduce CO2 emissions. Spain is consuming 500,000 tons per year of Gray hydrogen (of fossil origin), so this new form of hydrogen will help change to be dynamic. Hydrogen valleys. The seven selected projects will add 2,278 MW of electrolysis power for the production of renewable hydrogen in 11 facilities, since the bases of the call allow more than one cluster site if the distance between them is less than 100 km. These plants will use renewable energy (solar and wind) to generate green hydrogen, and many will be integrated with ammonia or ammonia facilities fertilizers to reduce industrial emissions. In addition, 90% of electrolyzers will be manufactured in Europe and most promoters They have opted by alkaline electrolysis technology, considered efficient and scalable. Aid distribution. The distribution of European funds is carried out prioritizing projects with greater impact. Starting with the community with the largest renewable cluster: Aragon, which will receive 384 million euros for two hydrogen valleys, one of them shared with Catalonia. They are followed by Andalusia with 304 million, Castilla y León with 259 million, Galicia with 170 million and Catalonia with 98 million. In addition, three of them will be located in municipalities with demographic challenges, such as Andorra in Teruel and Cubillos del Sil and Robla both in the province of León. All this to promote local economic development and job creation in these places where there is less industrial activity. It should be added that the initial budget of 1,200 million, framed on the Repower EU agenda of the recovery, transformation and resilience (PRTR) plan (PRTR) was extended to an additional 10%, reaching the current amount of 1,214 million euros. Horizon 2030. The development of these projects seeks to consolidate an advanced green hydrogen infrastructure so that within five years be integrated into sectors such as industry, aviation and maritime transport. Spain has invested more than 3,100 million euros in the last two years to consolidate its position in the green hydrogen sector in Europe.
