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

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. Image | Todd Martin In Xataka | Copilot, Chatgpt and GPT-4 have changed the world of programming forever. This is thought of programmers (Function () {Window._js_modules = Window._js_modules || {}; var headelement = document.getelegsbytagname (‘head’) (0); if (_js_modules.instagram) {var instagramscript = Document.Createlement (‘script’); }}) (); – The news You have to put very large quotes on the “reasoning” of AI: welcome to the “irregular intelligence” It was originally posted in Xataka by Javier Pastor .

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

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

When saying goodbye to continuity it makes sense to make a level leap

A week ago I could try the new OPPO RENE13 PROa mobile that the Chinese company has just presented officially in Europe next to the reindeer13, RENE13 F and RENE13 fs. Arrives with the difficult mission of overcoming RENE12 PROwhich left very good feelings last year because it was a fairly balanced proposal. This is not a complete analysis, but a first approach to some interesting aspects of the device. As a first advance, everything indicates that artificial design and intelligence (AI) will continue to be protagonists. Oppo keeps its focus on a modern aesthetic and in novel functions that seek to conquer the user.

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

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.

The surprising thing is that you are winning those judgments

Luxury car manufacturers lead the extreme care for reputation of their brand and, for that reason, Ferrari or Bugatti can put in Black lists to customers They have not used their cars with due respect to which your brand represents. However, Tesla is going much further in China. Is demanding By defamation to anyone who criticizes their cars: the most striking thing is that they are winning almost all judgments against journalists and clients disenchanted with the quality of their cars. Without the right to complain Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X has described himself as an absolutist of freedom of expression. However, the same does not seem to comment when others who exercise that Freedom to express your anger or disappointment with the quality of the cars that Tesla manufactures in its Shanghai factory in China. In recent months, the company has taken energetic measures against criticisms of their cars, demanding clients and journalists who express negative opinions about their products and services in the Asian country. According to The published By Associated Press, that was the case of Zhang Yazhou, owner of a Tesla Model 3 who suffered an accident due to defective brakes that ended with his injured parents in a hospital. After the incident, Yazhou publicly showed his indignation sitting on the roof of his injured tesla, which was waiting for repair against a Tesla dealership, with a megaphone by proclaiming the manufacturing defects of his car. On the side of the car you could read on a banner “Failure in the Tesla brakes”. The image went viral in China. Tesla responded to Yazhou’s complaints demanding it by defamation. The Chinese court failed in favor of Tesla, condemning Yazhou to pay a compensation of $ 23,000 to the brand and to apologize publicly for its criticisms. “As a consumer, even if I said something wrong, I have the right to comment and criticize. I talked about my feelings as a car user. It has nothing to do with damaging his reputation,” Yazhou told AP. Tesla gigafactoría in Shanghai This is not an isolated case. According to published Associated Press In another article, Tesla has won 11 of these demands presented to clients, bloggers or media that have criticized the brand, while others are in the process of appeal or have been resolved outside the courts through agreements. One of the reasons why Tesla has achieved such a remarkable judicial support In China it is because of the support that Elon Musk’s brand receives from the Chinese government. It should be remembered that the company was the first foreign brand to have permission to build a factory in China without the need to associate with local companies or the government. A mandatory practice that all foreign companies had to comply. In addition, Tesla enjoys advantages such as tax exemptions and better advantageous credit conditions that do not enjoy other companies. This preferential treatment also extends to the regulatory sphere. Tesla obtained the approval of the Chinese government, Elon throughto test the FSD autonomous driving system in its territory. This institutional support to the company directed by Elon Musk also It has its reflection in Chinese justice And according to Associated Presshas a name and surname. “The commercial and political success of Tesla in China has depended on the support of a powerful patron: Li Qiang, the former head of the Shanghai party who is now China’s prime minister,” published the American media. The relationship between Tesla and Li Qiang has been key, since the now number two of Xi Jiping has acted several times as a facilitator in the implementation of Tesla in China, and Elon Musk boasts of your good relationship With the Chinese politician. During a visit to the Shanghai factory in 2020, the then Secretary of the Communist Party already admitted that Tesla could count on all his support. “We will give all our support to the next construction of Tesla projects and we hope that Tesla will expand cooperation with Chinese companies in clean energy and transport.” The Chinese market is one of the most important for Tesla. According to Tesla datadespite high competitiveness, in 2024 the model and remained as best -selling car in China with an increase of 5.24% compared to the previous year. However, 2025 has not started with good foot And the figures begin to falter with a decrease of 11.5%, As published Hybrids and electrical. Sueing those who are critical of the brand do not seem to have stopped that decrease in sales.

Public opinion continues to hate him the same

In 2024, a renewed Mark Zuckerberg surprised his own and strangers with A new style when dressing . Facebook’s founding millionaire left behind its boring uniforms Diaries formed by a Texan and Gray T -shirt, and bet on a more “bad” style with gold chains to the neck, shirts with Roman dates and ruffled hair. Nevertheless, A study Pew Research Center has revealed that all Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to update his appearance and approach the younger audience have been in vain. The public continues to have a negative perception of him, even much more than other millionaires such as Elon Musk that, due toHis new political facet with Trumpthey are more likely to generate negative opinions. The “unpopularity” of the millionaires. According to a survey conducted to 5,086 American adults After Donald Trump’s investiture67% of the participants claimed to have a negative opinion about Zuckerberg, exceeding 57% who stated to have an unfavorable opinion about Elon Musk having become The right hand of the president. Although it may seem incredible, 6% of respondents had never heard of Mark Zuckerberg, and 3% did not know who Elon Musk was, although after the stir His role in Doge, this percentage is likely to be lower at the moment. Both millionaires have been the subject of controversy since Trump won the elections in November 2024. Musk went from be the main donor From Trump to the executing arm of his policies of Administration personnel cutwhile Zuckerberg took a 180º turn in the Business culture target towards a “more masculine energy“ Partisan differences. Pew Research data suggests that opinions on these technological leaders vary according to the political affiliation of respondents. In this sense, it is evident that the political positioning of Elon Musk conditions the opinion of him based on his political ideology. Thus, 85% of Democratic Democrats or supporters have a negative vision of Elon Musk, while 73% of Republican Republicans see it favorably. However, the rejection of the public figure of Mark Zuckerberg is more homogeneous on both sides of the political arch. The data show that 76% of the surveyed supporters of the Democrats, and 60% of the Republicans, express an unfavorable opinion about the Facebook founder. The CEO as a company’s referent. Despite Zuckerberg’s attempts for improving your public imageincluding a radical change of appearance and a growing interest in fashion, these efforts do not seem to have had a positive impact on public opinion, which still does not feel attracted to the Meta CEO. One of the reasons for that rejection of what is popularly known as “Zuckissance“(Combination of Renaissance and Zuckerberg) can be the imposture of this new” updated “style of the Meta CEO so that it personalizes what the company wants to convey. Something that people have received as the nth Marketing campaign of goal to renew their flow of users. A redesigned CEO. Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal with Elon Musk and one of Silicon Valley’s most influential voices, is also one of Mark Zuckerberg’s main mentors. In one Postados chainSent in January 2020, Thiel and the Meta team outlined How the CEO should be shown of a company as a goal to attract new generations to the same networks that use their grandparents. “There is a distinction between the company and I. While our company has a special role in the life of this generation, this is likely to be particularly important for the way I present myself, because I am the best known person of my generation” , Zuckerberg wrote in those emails. Far from being spontaneous or fruit of the personality of Mark Zuckerberg, the change of style that has been experienced is a movement calculated from the Meta Board of Directors, and this has been perceived by public opinion.

How fantastic cinema has invaded the main nominations of the 2025 Oscar

For a few years, fantastic cinema is living a kind of face washing thanks to prestigious successes and labels such as “high terror“. The cotton test is always in the Oscars: as a maximum representation of Hollywood’s respectability and the show industry, when gender movies appear in the main categories, we live a new era of acceptance of the fantastic. Like this year. The circle of life. It is not a new phenomenon, but it has not always existed either. For decades all genres outside the drama, comedy and its variants (musical, western) were none by the Oscars. Until the international success of ‘arrivedStar Wars‘At the end of the seventies, and the technical categories of effects began to acquire relevance. The next spicy of the horror genre in the Oscars arrived in the nineties, with films without traces of series B in its DNA as ‘the silence of the lambs’ or ‘misery’. Since then, and by streaks, there have always been periodic claims of the fantastic in the Oscars (‘Let me out’, ‘The form of water’, ‘The Lord of the Rings‘), And this year he plays again. A significant precedent. Although last year there was almost almost the presence of fantastic cinema among the Nominated for Best Film (‘Barbie‘, of course, but above all’Poor creatures‘-Two films that never had the slightest opportunity-), the most interesting nominations in this regard took place in 2023. Not only was it nominated’Avatar: The sense of water‘, but ‘All at once everywhere‘He won seven awards, including the best film. A pure fantastic movie that also put on the table a producer who had been talking for years, A24. The legacy of A24. The great winner of the 2023 Oscar were neither her directors, the Daniels, nor her squad of actors (all awarded), but As we said at the timeproducer A24. Although it is not a specialized producer, it is responsible, distributing and producing the cinema of directors such as Robert Eggers (‘La Bruja’, ‘El Faro’) or Ari Aster (‘Hereditary’, ‘Midsommar’) that the fantastic cinema live A new era of respectability. Which includes, as a consequence, a renewed presence in the Oscars. 2025, Fantastic Oscars. This year we have several gender films among the nominees. On the one hand, the inevitable blockbuster, the equivalent of the ‘avatar’ of 2023: ‘Dune: Part two‘. On the other, ‘WICKED‘, which is a musical and therefore is more in the Hollywood tradition than in the rupture of norms, but let’s not forget that it is a prequel to’ The Wizard of Oz ‘, a classic absolute of the genre. Yeah ‘Emilia Pérez“It is fantastic or not would be something to sit down to discuss it (or better not), but it is clear that the radical point puts it. ‘The substance‘, a film that drinks from the troma and series B, of the Body Horror and the Gore, of Cronenberg and the latex feasts of the eighties. A true surprise whose only presence in nominations is already an indisputable award. And this year there are possibilities? First of all, it should be said that it was not planned that ‘everything at once everywhere’ razed in 2023, so there are always possibilities. But in principle, no: this year the thing is between ‘The Brutalist‘,’ Conclave ‘and’ Wicked ‘, and even’ Anora ‘and’ Emilia Pérez ‘, but neither’ Dune: part two ‘(which possibly takes a good amount of technical awards) nor, of course,’ the substance ” (Too Molona for Hollywood, it could be said, although Demi Moore should not lose hope) they are among the favorites. In any case, having reached nominations is a triumph: it is still clear that the fantastic is renewing Hollywood.

There is already an official plan for the next Starship flights. It’s incredibly ambitious, even for Spacex

While finalizing the eighth flight of Starship, Spacex has also closing the details of the ninth launch, which could happen shortly after with some of the most ambitious objectives so far. Eighth flight before expected. Elon Musk has confirmed that Starship Flight 8 is scheduled for this FridayFebruary 28. He has not made any mention, as usual, that the final date of the launch is subject to the regulatory approval of the government. If Spacex is confident that Starship will take off on Friday is because he hopes to receive the flight license reviewed by then. It is earlier than expected, taking into account that the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States has a Open research on flight 7in which the Starship ship exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, disintegrating near the Turkish and Caicos Islands and causing a small aerial chaos For the rain of metals that followed. First load deployment. In any case, flight 8 will repeat the objectives of the previous launch, using the Super Heavy Booster 15 and the ship 34 ship for the test, the second that incorporates the Block 2 improvement block. Two meters higher, the Starship Block 2 It has a greater capacity to store propelants and better performance perspectives in the atmospheric reentry, both for the design changes of its front spoilers and for the numerous improvements of its thermal shield. In addition to re -expending an engine in the exorbitant space, flight 8 will display load for the first time using the “fish dispenser” mechanism of Starship’s upper bay. These are 10 wooden models that simulate being next -generation Starlink satellites, larger than the Starlink V2 Mini than today the Falcon 9 rocket is able to launch in lots of 23. A ninth flight even more difficult. Although great news is not expected for flight 8 because Spacex still has to demonstrate the objectives that could not be met on flight 7 for the explosion of the ship, the next, the ninth, will mark a significant leap in the program. A Special permit application Sent by Spacex to the Federal Communications Commission, the agency that manages the United States radio spectrum, revealed two important things about the company’s plans: Starship flight 9 will occur between March 14 and June 30, 2025, as soon as two weeks after flight 8 Spacex not only hopes to capture the Super Heavy propeller with the arms of the launch tower, as he did on flight 5 and flight 7, he also wants to do the same with the Starship ship for the first time Double capture or double dip. Although there are not many details about the ninth flight, beyond the communications application for the double landing, Spacex has confirmed that he will use the same procedure he uses with the propeller: If everything goes well, he will try to land in the arms of the tower; But if something does not fit, it will cancel the landing and let the rocket fall into the ocean. Therefore, during flight 9 we could see, at best, the first double capture (Super Heavy and Starship ship returning, each in their time, to the launch tower) or, in the worst of the Cases, a double ameter with dip and self -control. It will undoubtedly be the riskiest flight to date: the first one in which the starship will reach orbital speed to return to the launch platform to the southeast of Texas, and the first in which the ship, which suffers much higher temperatures than The propeller on his return could test the capture maneuver with the tower arm as a landing method. The most surprising thing about everything? Which could happen in mid -March.

Right now there are 4500 North American students advised psychologically by a chatbot. It’s just the beginning

Right now, while I write this, there are about 4,500 North American students being “psychologically advised” Through an application Sonny called. It is nothing surprising. In the US, around 17% of secondary schools have no counselor or school psychologist. Most of them are in rural areas or in economically depressed zones and applications of this type bring psychosocial assistance to everyone. The problem is not that. The problem is that Sonny is An artificial intelligence chatbot. Is the chatbot? Let it be put. The idea is not new: in fact, it is one of the first ideas that comes to everyone worried about mental health. In the last 50 years We have concluded that psychotherapy is tremendously effective. For now we have not been able to climb it: that is the promise of the chatbots. Sonny’s example Help to understand it: Students have access to chatbot 18 hours a day (from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.) and the “Solo” service costs each district between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000. Much less than a school advisor to use. It is true that it is not so effective that the counselor, but for many environments it is the best that can be allowed. And, in fact, according to some of its users explainbeyond its final therapeutic effectiveness, these types of approaches allow school to identify almost real problems among students. In Berryville (Arkansas), they discovered that more than half of the users sent messages just before exams and allowed them to develop emotional support interventions. Is this the future? A couple of years ago, Zara Abrams published an extensive analysis In the American Psychological Association, where it was concluded that “artificial intelligence chatbots (AI) can make therapy more accessible and less expensive.” Just what Sonny does. However, as also explained Abrams“Despite the potential of AI, there are still reasons to worry: the tools used in the health field have discriminated people depending on their race and disability status and there are malicious chatbots have widespread erroneous information, They have professed their love for users either They have sexually harassed minors“That is precisely what Sonny tries to avoid. How is it possible? In principle, as they explain from the company, Sonny has a team of people with “experience in psychology, social work and online support” that supervise and even rewrite the Bot responses. Each technician supervises between 15 and 25 chats at the same time. It is the form that has HEALTH mental soundthe company behind the app, to avoid the great original sin of the LLM: its tendency to delir, fantasize and give advice that may not be correct. In addition, the hybrid chatbot is designed to notify parents and teachers to the slightest possibility of danger (either for oneself or for others). Have you solved the problem? The truth is that we do not know (because there are no studies on it), but it is honestly unlikely that they have achieved it: we are in a very early phase as for trust that all associated problems are resolved. But it is a radical step. As Abrams said, It is possible that “psychologists and their abilities are irreplaceable”, but since the arrival of AI is inevitable we have to bet on a “reflexive and strategic implementation.” Something that, indeed, is very similar to saying anything. There is much that we still do not know and, therefore, making concrete predictions is dangerous. What is clear is that the question is not if we will have gpteraputas, we already have them. The question is how we can use them to Not worsening the attention that is being given today (a temptation always preset) and turn them into a key tool to reduce human suffering. Let’s hope to answer it soon. Image | Dream / Sigmund In Xataka | 50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything
