The electric transition “is not realistic”

by

If Europe does not turn back, the combustion car is sentenced by 2035. A year that still sounds distant, but which will be difficult to get with the proposed objectives if the evolution of the electric car continues to progress as until now. On January 30, a series of meetings will begin with car manufacturers. The goal? Explore the current situation and check what can be done to meet the demanding emissions targets imposed by European regulations. A clear request to Europe. In one open letter From Acea its president, Ola Källenius, expresses some of the priorities of the manufacturers when meeting these objectives. The first is that this transition does not carry out through multimillionaire sanctions, but in a “realistic” way. As noted, the costs of making a transition to the CO2 emissions required by EURO6 They are disproportionate for the industry. The cars will continue to rise in price As regulations hardening, causing less and less. “The European Green Pact must be subject to a verification of reality and a realignment, to make it less rigid, more flexible and to convert the decarbonization of the automotive industry into a green and profitable business model. The EU automotive industry follows Committed to the objective of climate neutrality of the EU by 2050, as well as the change towards transport and mobility of zero emissions. “ The summary is clear: manufacturers are willing to electrify 100% and lower emissions, but with more lax deadlines and without the yoke of multimillionaire sanctions. The electricity is not sold enough. According to Acea, the latest figures They reflect a decrease of almost 6% in the new electric cars records in 2024. Its market share has dropped by 1%, making practically impossible that CO2 objectives are ending up for the coming years. Own Tesla sold less in 2024 than in 2023in countries like Germany the total fall in electric vehicles is from 69% after the elimination of aidand groups like Stellantis are in full career To reduce costs anyway. A debate that will mark the future of the industry. The final destination of the automobile industry is inevitable: complete electrification. Despite this, the deadlines will end up making a difference, and are key in the final price of cars in the coming years. Europe is open to debate and, although there will be no reverse with the imposition of the electric vehicle, it is possible changes in fuel engine restrictions, emission limits and aid plans to reverse the current situation.

‘The Brutalist’ is so long that it includes an intermediate of 15 minutes. And to the surprise of the director himself, people are delighted

by

Since we began talking about ‘The Brutalist’, Brady Corbet’s movie that It is nominated for ten Oscar And that is presented as one of the favorites to take the lists of the best of the year, all chronicles and criticism emphasized their duration, unusually long, three and a half hours. And also the even more unusual decision to be screened divided into two parts, separated by a fifteen minutes intermediate. But why. Was the intermediate necessary? According to Corbet and his coguionist Mona Fastvold, yes. In An interview with Indie Wire They said that “he was always scripted, the intermediate. He is curious, in a way he has caught the attention of what we expected. I personally have trouble sitting still for three and a half hours, so I needed it. And it was a decision of face to the public “. And they added that “people feel at home and see between eight and sixteen hours of a limited series with small breaks, so if you apply that idea to this movie, you are zampando with a little break in the middle.” Longer and longer movies. There is a very fashionable calculation in these times, in order to maximize the time we dedicate to leisure and that values ​​the profitability of cultural works: the longer, the more value we are giving our free time. In the video game industry, the number of hours needed to finish a game is a detail that is made public before it goes on sale. And the increasingly extensive films and series, guaranteeing the viewer that he can invest a good part of his day (or the whole day) in devouring a story. Only in that context are less and less extraordinary films such as’WICKED‘(160 minutes),’The Batman‘(176),’Oppenheimer‘(180),’ Avengers: Endgame ‘(182) … but none has intermediate. Of course, none lasts 215 minutes. Before there were intermediate, but as you are young you don’t remember it. Decades ago the films passed several times: the change of roll in the projector demanded a pause that was soon eliminated, when the projectors arrived that did not demand to interrupt the projection for the change of roll. And then, the arrival of digital cinema was loaded with that characteristic flicker in the image and sound that the oldest of the place identified with analog cinema. That is, the intermediate of ‘The Brutalist’ is completely unnecessary (unless we have the need to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs, which is not little), and still is done. ‘The Brutalist’ also looks like a movie from another time. A very thoughtful intermediate. The interesting thing about ‘The Brutalist’ is that it is not a cut, as was the case in old films, which happens when a film roll ends, or as it happened in some cinemas with the monstrous ‘also’The Moon Killer‘(206 minutes), when the room seemed convenient. It is a very thoughtful intermediate, which divides the film into two parts that differ in tone and style. The film is something in its first half, and after the intermediate, it is something else. The intermediate helps the viewer prepare for that change, and also reinforces the operatic quality of the film: because in the theater and opera they continue to be intermediates. Everyone loves intermediate. This apparently inconsequential aesthetic decision has become one of the hallmarks most celebrated from the film. It is being said that it is a way of recovering cinema as a total experience, which forces us to comment on what we have seen, to consider what we expect from what remains, and see the film as more than a mere procedure of going to any room To consume passively. Along with his celebration of the mastodontic formats And his classic and precious style, ‘The Brutalist’ has become, beyond an admirable film, a cinephile party.

Four nations dispute a fruit that smells like rotten eggs. China has made her her gastronomic phenomenon

by

Few things are more representative of the tastes of a nation than The ingredients of a pizza. Therefore, when in November we count that a fruit from Southeast Asia (prohibited in some public spaces due to its penetrating smell) I was driving Chinese consumers crazy To the point of adding it to the pizza, Durián acquired another category in the nation’s gastronomy. The demand for the fruit is such that even Four countries fight to send it. Everyone wants fruit. The Durianknown for its penetrating aroma and its peculiar flavor, has ceased to be simply a fruit in China to become A gastronomic and commercial phenomenon. Despite the slowdown in the spending of the Chinese middle class, the demand for this forbidden fruit in some places has grown without brake, promoting record imports, the development of new culinary trends and a fierce competition Among the countries of Southeast Asia to supply the growing Chinese market. The transformation of Durian. As we said, Durián has transcended his exotic fruit status to become a trend in the restoration sector in China, where The concept of “Everything can lead Durian” has resulted in a proliferation of thematic restaurants. Innovation around this product has led to the creation of unusual dishes like Durián’s hamburgers, Hot Pots of chicken with Durián or even barbecues from Durián, who have gained great popularity on social networks. To get an idea, the Douyin, the Chinese version of TiktokHashtags like “Durian Barbecue” and “Durian Buffet” They have accumulated more than 1.24 billion visualizationsreflecting the enthusiasm of Chinese consumers for new gastronomic experiences focused on the controversial fruit. Moreover, a restaurant in Shenzhen recently went viral offering A buffet of more than 200 Durián de Malaysia plates By 199 yuan ($ 27.39) per person, which demonstrates the rise of these culinary concepts. Exponential growth in China. In the last five years, The demand of the nation for Durián has shotreflecting in an increase of more than double in its imports. In 2023, China imported 1.43 billion kilograms of Duriánwith a value of 6.7 billion dollars, a figure that In 2024 it rose to 1.56 billion kilograms and 7 billion dollars. This growth has been promoted by the opening of the market to new suppliers and the enthusiasm of local consumers, who as we said, have incorporated Durián into a wide variety of gastronomic products. Hence one of the clearest symbols of this fever is Durián’s pizza success with cheese in China’s Pizza Hutturned into your best -selling product. Even Yum China’s CEO, Joey Wat, joked in a global forum in New York that Those who do not enjoy this delicacy should simply “leave” the restaurant. The end of the Thai monopoly: fights four. Historically, Thailand dominated the export of fresh Durián to China, representing up to 95% of the market in 2022. However, with the opening of the Chinese market to Vietnam in 2022 already the Philippines in 2023, Dynamics changed dramatically. In 2024, Thailand only represented 52% of Chinese imports, while Vietnam captured 47.2%. In this regard, Philippines and Malaysia, although with minor participations, have also begun to export fresh Durium to China, taking advantage of regulatory flexibility. Causes? The fall in the Thai market share is due to two key factors: the excessive use of agricultural land, which has decreased production, and extreme heat waves, which have affected the quality of the fruit. In contrast, Vietnam has benefited from its geographical proximity with China, which facilitates land transport and reduces logistics costs. Geopolitics of Durián. In the end, Durian is not only a source of income for Southeast Asia farmers, but also a economic diplomacy tool. In fact, China has used the importation of Durián As part of its commercial agreements with neighboring countries. An example of this was the approval, in June 2023, of the importation of the fresh fruit of Malaysia, within the framework of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. By the end of that year, Malaysia had exported 351 tons of fresh Durián to Chinaconsolidating its presence in a market that previously only accepted its processed or frozen products. Meanwhile, Indonesia, another great producer of Durián, Keep looking for authorization to export fresh fruit directly to China. Currently, you can only sell fruit paste, a lower value product, or send the fruit to Thailand for inspection before exporting it, which reduces its gain margins. Durián “Chino”. And if you wonder why the Chinese nation does not start producing its own fruit if it likes it so much, they have already tried. Given the growth of demand and the high cost of imports, China has tried to grow Durian in its own landspecifically on the tropical island of Hainan. The problem? The results have been discouraging. Recent studies have revealed that Durians grown in Hainan lack some of the essential nutrients present in the native fruits of Southeast Asia, which has generated doubts about its commercial viability. It is the law of nature, the delicate combination of temperature, humidity and soil quality necessary for the cultivation of this fruit seems to be difficult to replicate outside its natural habitat. It is the market, friend. Be that as it may, the unusual Chinese appetite for Durián has transformed the southeast Asian fruit industryconsolidating it as an export product of great value where A hard battle is fought for supplying the giant. A phenomenon that has reconfigured commercial dynamics, weakening the domain of Thailand and opening opportunities for Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia. If you want also, the Durián diplomacy It has proven to be a strategic tool in the commercial relations of the Chinese nation with its neighbors, while attempts to produce it locally face significant challenges.

Taiwan does not want more problems with China or with its submarine cables. So you have activated an unpublished security plan

by

Earlier this year and after what happened with an underwater cable that affected the only remaining link with the Matsu Islandsincident that occurred just a week after Another cable that connected the island was damagedTaiwan made an unprecedented decision. A call Washington ended with A two -year agreement so that the United States Army would disembark on the island and train the Taiwanese Navy. Actually, this is just part of the plan. Protect cables as priority. Submarine cable infrastructure is the pillar of the global connectivity of most nations, But a little more for an island like Taiwana territory that depends almost in its entirety of these systems to guarantee the communication of its citizens, companies and government institutions. To get an idea, any severe interruption in these links could not only leave the population incommunicado, affecting access to essential services such as mobile applications and digital platforms, but it would also have A critical impact on economic and government operations. The problem is that the fragility of these systems has been evidenced with the growing incident frequency In the cables that connect the enclave with its peripheral islands and with the world, which has raised concerns about the safety and resilience of this key infrastructure. Alarming frequency of failures. Globally, The more than 450 existing underwater cable systems They experience damage in a range of 0.1 to 0.2 incidents (by cable) per year, which is equivalent to 50 and 100 annual failures worldwide. However, the situation in Taiwan is exceptionally critical. The cables that connect Matsu’s peripheral islands with the main island They suffer an average of 5.1 annual interruptions, which represents a frequency up to 50 times higher than the global average. This data underlines the level of vulnerability of communications and the urgent need to implement protection measures. As we count, on January 22, The two submarine cables that connect Matsu with Taiwan were disconnectedwhich left the island is isolated digitally. According to the Taiwan Digital Affairs Ministry (Fashion), the cause was a “natural deterioration.” And it was not an isolated case: just a few weeks before, on January 3, a communications cable north of the main island, operated by Chunghwa Telecom, It was also cut, allegedly by a ship manned by Chinese citizens. The boat in question, Shunxing 39, was registered in Cameroon and Tanzania, which complicates the direct attribution of the attack. Strategies to strengthen security. The result of the situation has been to activate An unprecedented plan, measures to reinforce the safety of their submarine cables. For example, telecommunications operators have deployed maritime patrols with the aim of warning of fishing vessels approaching sensitive areas. Likewise, the Taiwan Coast Guard has intensified surveillance through monitoring systems to trace boats in critical areas. There are more. To improve redundancy in communications, fashion has implemented A subsidies program to encourage the construction of new stations International cable landing and the installation of backup systems. In addition, Taiwan has opted for the diversification of his communication systems through satellites. In this sense, the government has signed Agreements with the European company SES for the deployment of medium orbit satellites (MEO) and with Oneweb for the incorporation of low orbit satellites (Leo). All measures that seek to guarantee the continuity of government and military communications in case of an emergency. Legal challenges to protect cables. One of the main obstacles in the protection of submarine cables is the complexity of international legislation around these infrastructure. According to international maritime laws, if damage occurs within the territorial waters of a country, this may exercise jurisdiction on the incident. The problem? That, if the affectation happens in an exclusive economic zone or in international waters, The responsibility falls to the country where the suspicious boat is registered. This legal framework generates significant barriers for the investigation and persecution of those responsible for deliberate sabotages. From there The problem in the Baltic with The “Ghost Ships”. In response to these challenges, Taiwan has taken legislative measures to penalize intentional attacks against their submarine cables. The sanctions include prison sentences between one and seven years, in addition to fines that can reach 10 million Taiwanese dollars (approximately 300,000 US dollars). And the United States. It We have recently. Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense has announced A two -year agreement with the United States to train the Taiwanese Navy In a context where the island’s Parliament is prepared to vote possible cuts in the budget for military training abroad. The agreement, valued at approximately 50 million Taiwanese dollars (1.5 million US dollars), stipulates that US Navy personnel will be sent to Taiwan to carry out a specialized naval training program. The training sessions, in principle, will be held at the headquarters of the Navy and the Marines of Taiwan, located in the Zuoying district, near the city of Kaohsiung, in the south of the country. It is, therefore, The first time in history that the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense publicly recognizes the presence of US military coaches. Regional Resilience. The numerous cases in recent months They have shown it. The protection of submarine cables, and more in Taiwan, is not only a national problem, but a matter of regional security. Any interruption in these infrastructure can affect their neighboring countries, which reinforces the need to establish strategic alliances for damage prevention and repair. In this regard, Taiwan aims to work closely with its partners in Asia To strengthen cable repair capabilities, improve logistics and develop advanced monitoring technologies. In fact, a few weeks ago researchers from the University of Lisui in China They registered a patent for an anchor device designed to cut underwater cables efficiently. There is no evidence of its use in real attacks, but the simple existence of these technologies suggests that the risks to telecommunications could be intensified in the near future.

Thousands of Spaniards live in a city and are registered in another. The BOE reminds them that they risk something: fines

by

Maybe you know someone who is in that situation. Or maybe you are (or have you been) yourself. One day you move to another city for whatever reason (work, love, family or simply because you feel like discharge In his register. You are still registered in your previous municipality because your parents may live there or you have a house. After all there is nothing wrong with it, right? LAW AND BOE They remind us That is not quite like that. Moreover, remain registered in a different town to that in which you live can lead to a fine of 150 euros. Tell me where you live … And I will tell you in which town hall you must be registered. Throughout the last weeks it is likely that You have seen Some information On the subject, articles In those talk about the obligation that each of us have of being registered in the municipality in which we currently reside (and not another, such as our parents or where we had our last work) and warns the fines it can lead to Failure to comply with that duty. Actually both one thing and another, the obligation of the registration and the sanctions to breach it, have little again. Start from rules dating from 80s and 90. Although it is true that the BOE reminds us with a certain periodicity. For example, he did In October 2024in a decree of the government on procedures in consular offices. Also The INE or the municipalities themselves They emphasize it. And what does legislation say? He Royal Decree 1690/1986It is clear about it. In article 56, remember that all people who change residence within Spain must request the decline in the City Council and discharge as a resident in the new town to which they move. In the case of minors that demand falls on parents or guardians. The Law 4/1996 On local regime bases it is also resounding. “Every person living in Spain is obliged to register in the register of the municipality in which he regularly resides,” he collects in his article 15. And if there were doubts about what to do in the case of people who alternate residence, the regulations of the late 90s Precise: “Whoever lives in several municipalities must register only in which he lives for a longer time.” Clear and precise. After registering in the register of his new town, that person will officially become “neighbor of the municipality” in the eyes of the administration. Notices for clueless. To be aware of the obligation, it is not necessary to dust off the regulations of the late last century. The State itself is dedicated to remembering it. And through different ways. The clearest is the BOE, which cites that duty of citizens in some of their publications. Just four months ago the Ministry of Presidency did for example in the development of A decree on consular records, in which the law of the 80s recalls and that “every person living in Spain” must be recorded in the register of the municipality in which “usually” resides. Town Halls. The BOE is not the only one to update our obligations. The INE dedicates A broad article to the subject, in which they also include issues as whether or not to notify the removals within the same municipality, and the municipalities themselves are responsible for commenting on their official websites. In A section entitled ‘Most frequent questions about how to register in the register ‘the Madrid town hall is didactic. “Can I be registered in a place other than the one who resides? Every person living in Spain is obliged to register in the register of the municipality where he usually resides (…) on the other hand, the usual domicile in the municipality is one of the data that with a mandatory nature they must appear in the register. The City Council requires. And yes, the ‘no’ in capital letters is his. Vigo’s also remembers that demand On its official website. And what happens if I do not? That you expose yourself to a sanction. One that can actually reach 150 euros, although that will depend on the characteristics of each case. He Royal Decree 1690/1986 collects (article 87) that “the refusal to complete the patron registration sheets, the lack of signature of these, the omissions or falsehoods” can lead the mayor to apply sanctions adjusting to article 59 of the Decree 781/1986. In general, anyone who breaches their obligations with registration. And what does that article contemplate? Simple. It details the fork of sanctions that each town hall can impose on those who fail to comply with its obligations with the register. The document He still speaks of pesetas, but the change to euros is simple. In the case of the consistories of between 5,000 and 20,000 inhabitants, it foresees penalties of up to 30 euros; in those between 20,001 and 50,000 the sanction rises to 60 euros; Those who have between 50,001 and 500,000 residents can raise the fine to 90 euros; And the largest, those cities that exceed half a million neighbors, the punishment for not complying with legal obligations rises to 150. A key document. It may seem exaggerated, but the register is more than a simple administrative record or a tool for demographic studies. The Ministry of Presidency in Another Royal Decreein which he underlined the “great importance” of local censuses. In fact, it is essential to opt “with all guarantees” to certain public services or votes in the City Council in which each one resides. Having more or less population also directly affects the consistories in such relevant aspects as resources and expenses. INEAF Precise In addition, not being properly registered can respond to more than a mistake. The entity recalls the “illicit region”, with a fraudulent character, with which it seeks to have access to certain financial aid, municipal services (a school, for example) or tax benefits.

The Danish ITV has suspended one in four Tesla Model 3 in one year and is a music that sounds to us

by

The Tesla Model 3 is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting electric cars in the autonomy/price relationship. Since arriving on the European market, he has played to stay at the level of the rest of competitors but always offering an extra autonomy and with the security network provided by Tesla superchargers. Year after years, Tesla sales in Europe They have continued increasing What has filled the car market that adds years. That is what has happened in Denmark, where the electric berline is facing the First mass calls to ITV. Last year, for example, they had to go to the periodic exams to certify the good condition of the vehicles Tesla Model 3 Buy in 2020. And the results have not been good. One in four The Tesla Model 3 arrived in Denmark in 2019. According to the accounts of ‘FDM Test & BILSYN’the main organization of ITV in the country, about 35,000 units of the completely electric Berlina circulate on its roads since they began to be sold just over a five years ago. Every year that passes, periodic inspections receive more and more cars in their facilities. Specify that in First 11 months of 2024some 28,000 electric cars underwent the ITV. Of these, many are units are a Tesla Model 3 that, four years after their arrival at the hands of the drivers, the examination of the inspectors passes for the first time. And the results have been extremely bad. As reflected in their accounts, of the 4,668 Tesla Model 3 examined between January 1 and November 21, 1,051 units suspended the test. That is, almost one in four units of the electrical model were left without approved. That 22.5% of Tesla Model 3 units that did not receive the approved one is far from the average suspensions between electric cars, which is 9%, according to the data collected by the country’s ITV stations. “This percentage is alarmingly high and reflects quality and durability problems in the first generations of Tesla Model 3,” they affirm from the association. The problems referred to are recurring in brakes, lights, axes and direction. And emphasize: “The Tesla Model 3 accumulated more than triple failures compared to other inspected electric cars. “ When talking about ITV it is easy to ask whether the problem is really in the vehicle or in the neglect and lack of interest of drivers. In Spain, for example, The most recurring failures Among the suspensions is a malfunction of the lights or excessive wear in the tires. The latter is not a minor issue. In fact, doubts about the little maintenance that must be done to an electric car has led some to wonder If the car uses oil or not. The Spanish Association of Collaborating Entities of the Administration in the Technical Inspection of Vehicles (AECA-ITV) indicates that, before going to the ITV, some of the simpler elements to review are tires. In spite of everything, we must not overlook that it is not the first time that Tesla is pointed out by an ITV organization. The Tüv Süd, the German ITV, also prepared its own report alerting that The Tesla had recurring failures and that Dacia won them in reliability. In that case, the German organism remembered the importance of keeping the car In the best possible state. They pointed out that an electric car also had to comply with minimum maintenance And that, again, the most recurring failures collected in the Tesla suspensions had to do with the tires and lighting. These are the most recent reports but already in 2022 The OCU pointed to Tesla as one of the least reliable brands of the market. And JD Power, a specialist in this type of reports in the United States, showed the same results in 2023. While Japanese brands occupied the first positions, Tesla was one of the least reliable manufacturers. Photo | Tesla In Xataka | The Tesla Model and should be the change of paradigm in Europe.

He has reinvented it from scratch and that is the revolutionary

by

With R1Deepseek has achieved something that seemed impossible: to train an AI model with reasoning capabilities comparable to those of OpenAi … but without depending on huge data sets labeled. Its approach based on reinforcement learning opens the door for many more groups developing advanced. Why is it important. This advance changes the rules we assumed in the development of AI. Until now, creating models with reasoning capacity required huge amounts of data labeled and computational resources only within reach of giants such as OpenAi, goal or Google. Deepseek has shown that there are A much more efficient alternative path. Between bambalins. The Deepseek R1 training process is divided into two main phases: First, R1-Zero Learn to reason exclusively through reinforcement learning, exploring solutions by test and error. Then, R1 refine these capacities with a small amount of “cold start” data to improve aspects such as readability. The model uses An expert mixing architecture (MOE) with 671,000 million total parameters, but only activates 37,000 million per consultation. This is what allows you to obtain a performance comparable to that of OPENAI O1 with a fraction of computational resources. The contrast. While Openai invests hundreds of millions in labeled data and computing, Deepseek has achieved similar results with less than 6 million dollars (declared investment). Its smaller distilled models, from 1.5 billion to 70,000 million parameters, have also achieved surprising performance. The example. It is a silly example, but that is precisely why we wanted to verify its way of reasoning to the type of question you dislodge. We asked him the question “If Xataka was a Spanish football team, what would it be?” Image: Xataka with Mockuuuups Studio His very long answer was autaeafirmo and then discarding the conclusion again and again. First he just described Xataka and to make a superficial review of the main Spanish clubs. Then it was raised if we would be Athletic, but understood that although its policy of “only Basque players” is unique, that is not comparable to Xataka’s innovation. He did something similar with Valencia, Barça and Rayo arguing different causes to rule them out. He linked Real Madrid for us, Ahem, social mass leadership … but agreed that this is not linked to innovation. He went through Eibar and Getafe, discarding both … but then returned to Eibar since “fell” in which they use analytics and technology. In the end he ruled it for being a small club. He commented that Xataka’s leadership fits with an offensive style such as Barça de Guardiola or the Madrid’s Madrid counterattack … … And finally he reached Villarreal and Girona. After some reasoning, he stayed with Girona, arguing his strong culture of data, his innovative approach, his recent growth and his global vision (he is part of the City Football Group), in addition to adding something striking: “Both combine limited resources with intelligence Strategic: Girona maximizes its template with Scouting Advanced, while Xataka optimizes relevant and accessible content for a mass audience. “ His final conclusion was “the Girona FC embodies the essence of Xataka: modernity, technological adaptation and a fresh narrative that challenges the status quo“. 🚀⚽ Reading all your reasoning was spectacular. Turning point. This development anticipates entry into a new era where Innovation in AI will not depend exclusively on access to large resourcesas it has been happening so far. The learning techniques for reinforcement and distillation of models can level the pitch between large companies (or startups with investments of nine zeros) and much smaller equipment. Deepen. This advance goes beyond simple incremental improvements. Deepseek has shown that it is possible to build models that reason autonomously without having to show them thousands and thousands of examples. Reinforcement learning allows the model to discover effective reasoning strategies, similar to how humans learn to solve problems. In Xataka | I have tried Deepseek on the web and in my Mac.

There will be a before and after Deepseek. We already know why this is so efficient

by

The publication of the V3 model of the artificial intelligence (AI) Deepseek as an open source is a blessing. And it is because little by little we are knowing in detail the strategy of the engineers of this Chinese company to Take a model of so efficient. Before moving forward with this article, it is important that we keep in mind that Depseek says that has trained his model using only 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. Some analysts defend that, in reality, its infrastructure brings together 50,000 GPU H100 Buy through intermediaries, but for the moment it is just a conjecture. This chip is more powerful than the H800, but it is perfectly credible that Depseek has been forced to settle for the latter because The sanctions of the US government They have prevented Chinese companies from access to the H100 GPU. In fact, since November 2023 Nvidia cannot deliver To your Chinese clients your H800 chip. One of Depseek’s keys is called PTX In the recipe for the thrilling growth that Nvidia has experienced during the last five years, its GPU does not intervene; CUDA technology (Compute Unified Device Architecture) also has An essential role in your business. Most of the AI ​​projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the market. In addition, this Nvidia tool puts in the hands of programmers High level language that allows them to access the GPU hardware in an affordable way. Even so, and we reach the heart of this article, Deepseek engineers have not used Cuda to develop their AI: They have used PTX (PARALLEL THREAD EXECUTION). Deepseek engineers have decided to use PTX to get the most out of the H800 GPUs as possible This language is similar to the assembly. In fact, it is somehow the assembly that proposes the developers who use their GPUs and need to implement low level optimizations in their code. Programming with PTX is more difficult and laborious than doing it with CUDA, but it entails the advantage that it allows developers to write a more efficient code, and, therefore, capable of taking better advantage of the resources offered by the Hardware of the GPU. Presumably the Deepseek engineers have decided to use PTX to get the most out of the H800 GPUs they had in their possession. One of the stratagems they have devised has consisted of assigning only 20 SM (Multiprocessors streaming) From each GPU to the communication between the servers, which has allowed them Dedicate the remaining 112 From each chip to calculation processes. In essence, Deepseek has been built since zero by resorting to this type of optimizations, which largely explains why this AI model is so efficient. The programmers of this Chinese company have objectively materialized an achievement in the field of engineering that will in all likelihood will have a deep impact on the way in which AI models developers will face their projects in the future. This is the palpable evidence that China is successfully adapting to the shortage of GPUs that have triggered US sanctions in their companies.

Half of all the frozen semen produced by Spanish men comes out in a single city: Granada

by

Neither Madrid, nor Barcelona; Neither Valencia, nor Seville: the place in Spain where more semen is donated the most It is Granada. And it is by far margin: of the 56,700 donations of male gametes between 2018 and 2023, 23,096 were made in this province. Practically half. Is something that was already knownbut Ana Requena It has just updated the data And it’s really surprising. Because if the question is “What is happening in that city?” The answer is not only curious … it is very interesting. Granada, national semen champion. It is true that obtaining reliable data is complicated. Above all, because (although clinics and hospitals are obliged to turn their data in assisted human reproduction information system) we have not managed to have a centralized record. However, in this case the reliability is the least: we talk about such a brutal difference that we can give it for good. Granada is the queen of the semen of Spain and is something completely recognized in the sector. But … why? The person responsible for this has names and surnames: Ceifer Biobanco, a private semen bank that was founded in the city almost 30 years ago and is a national reference. In fact, he works with about 500 reproductive centers in the country. That is key. Because, as explained at Eldiario.es Juan José Espinósthe president of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), having an authorized center to collect semen is not easy: “In the same way that most assisted reproduction centers collect ovules, there are few authorized for semen of donors.” “There are more donors where more promotion is made and concentrated in places where there are specialized banks,” Espinós explained. So it is not because the Grenadians are extremely fond of this? Yes and no. As Juan Pablo Ramírez explained a few years agomanaging director of the company, although Donor’s profile has been changing over the years (and older men, workers and parents have been incorporated), “students continue to assume 80% of the total donations.” That is one of Ceifer’s keys: that Granada is the student city per hintomasia. A city of about 250,000 inhabitants that has a university of 80,000 students (and that is only a part of its training offer). But, without a doubt, it is a management success. After all, Ceifer also has venues in Seville and Córdoba, others of the two leading cities in donations. And it is not easy either. As they explainedonly 10% of those who are interested end up being accepted. To the age requirements (less than 50 years), we must add a personalized interview with a psychologist and a whole battery of medical tests that discard hereditary diseases and ensure the quality of the semen. So yes, Granada is at the top. And it seems that it will continue to be a long time. After all, the two cities that follow it from afar are also feuded by Ceifer. Who was going to tell us that the geopolitics of the semen was going to talk about the importance of having long -standing institutions attached to the field?
