In the middle of a huge “train of storms”, AEMET has just pronounced the most anticipated word of winter: snow

by

The rain no respite and he’s not going to give it. Neither the rain, nor the winds, nor the snow. While the storm Herminia full of red notices the entire northwest part of the peninsula, the forecasts have us all looking at an Atlantic full of surprises. Among them, snow. What Herminia is doing. In recent days, the entire country has been revolving around Herminia. In some regions (such as Galicia) the intensity of the winds forced to divert flights and cancel trains. The worst, however, had not yet passed: this Monday will be the strongest day of the storm. 16 autonomous communities They have notices from the AEMET. Until Tuesday, Herminia will unfold a temporary more than considerable with wind, waves, rain and snow. But, as we said, Herminia is nothing more than the appetizer. According to predictive models, two new storms are going to cross the peninsula. The first will make its debut on the same Wednesday. In fact, on Tuesday a very cold air mass of polar origin will begin to enter the country. We talk about “temperatures at about 5500 meters altitude (500 hPa)”, explained Sergio Escama in Meteored. But the interesting thing is that we will notice it down here. What will we notice? The winter. Winter in its meteorologically pure state. From Wednesday the general drop in temperatures will be evident and snow will affect to the Cantabrian Mountains, the Pyrenees, the Central System, the Iberian System and other inland areas. The snow level is not clear yet, but is expected to be low. And that will be only the first of the post-Herminia storms. Because, according to AEMET modelsafter a very entertaining Wednesday-Thursday with the snow (and its problems); A busy weekend will follow. That is, the “storm train” extends as far as we can reliably see. This precision is important because, although right now there is a possibility that this second storm will be more intense than the previous ones, the time frame prevents us from being able to estimate its virulence accurately. What can we do? Luckily, The recommendations for now are the same: avoid unnecessary trips; prepare for the cold, wind and snow; and pay attention to weather and civil protection updates. We already know that this is one of the great paradoxes of snow: it is something as wonderful and fascinating as it is full of problems.

Houston weather forecast for Monday, January 27

by

The climate in Houston, Texasfor this Monday, January 27, it will take place Fully cloudy. According to the latest information from the meteorological part provided by Accuweather, the temperature will increase to a total of 61 degrees Fahrenheit (16ºC) of maximum during the day, while at night the lowest temperature will be recorded, with 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12ºC) minimum The probability of rain for these stripes of the day will be between 40 and 13 percent. Along with this, the thermal sensation, that is, “real temperature” will be around 59ºF (15ºC) of maximum and 59ºF (15ºC) of minimal. At this time of the year in Houston, dawn will occur at 07:14 h, while sunset can be observed at 5:55 p.m. The wind bursts will reach 9.32 mph of maximum in the day and 6.84 mph at night. Do not forget to review the latest climate news in www.laopinion.com/clima What is the climate in Houston? Houston’s climate, Texas, is unique and is something to appreciate and enjoy. With hot summers and soft winters and sun almost all year, so the climate of the city is usually comfortable. Of course, it is also a city at risk of natural catastrophes, mostly during the hurricane period. The Houston temperature moves between 49 ° F (9 ° C) in winter and 90 ° F (32 ° C) in summer. The warmest months we mention are June, July and August and the coldest December, January and February. Houston usually receives about 39 inches of rain a year. Houston moisture and quality Due to the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, Houston humidity is usually considerably high. Specifically, The relative humidity in Houston varies between 50 and 90%which makes the temperature perceive as higher than it really is. Houston’s air quality is usually good, although it could often be affected by the contamination of the numerous factories and refineries of the city. Unfortunately, the city also presents high ozone values ​​during the summer months, which is not beneficial for people with respiratory diseases. Natural catastrophes in Houston Despite its favorable climate, Houston is prone to live natural catastrophes, such as hurricanes and floods. Hurricanes are a great threat to the city and and they can cause important damage and losses of human lives. The city is also prone to floods due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and its low areas. Finally, Houston can also suffer from tornadoes, although with less probability than hurricanes or floods. Tornados can cause important material losses and even cause fatalities. It is important to be prepared for any natural catastrophe that may affect the city for which there are already protocols that are activated in case of emergency.

The price of energy that its chips factory is using in Ireland

by

The tuning of an advanced semiconductor factory equipped with machines with avant -garde lithography It costs up to 30,000 million euros. This is precisely what will cost the plant that Intel will build in Magdeburg (Germany) If the project finally goes ahead. And, as we tell you at the beginning of last November, this company has decided delay the start of construction of this factory until 2029 or 2030. Initially the works were going to start during the first half of 2023, but The negotiation of subsidies forced to delay this date until the summer of 2024. However, Finally Intel and the German government agreed as a construction start date May 2025. Anyway, the four or five years of lag planned by this company are a consequence of the delicate situation in The one that is intel. The cost of energy is crucial to preserve the competitiveness of a factory The center of the conversation on this occasion is not occupied by the Magdeburg plant, although we stay in Europe; It is monitored by the factory that Intel has in Leixlip (Ireland). These facilities began producing integrated avant -garde circuits In the Intel 4 node In September 2023, and they are also manufacturing semiconductors in the Intel 3 node. This plant is equipped with equipment of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) produced by the Dutch company ASML, and has a fundamental role in Intel infrastructure to serve its European clients. Intel is paying for electricity in Ireland that in the US or Israel As we have seen in the first lines of this article, the cost derived from the tuning of a last niche plant is very high, but, in addition, Intel has just stumbled with a problem in his Leixlip factory: The price of electricity in Ireland. According to this US company, this cost amounts to 15 cents per kilovatio houra figure that is approximately double high as in the US or Israel, which are the venues of some of its most advanced semiconductor production plants. As we can intuit, the price of electricity paid a chip factory has a direct impact on the final cost of the integrated circuits it produces. And, therefore, also in its competitiveness. Intel has rushed to ensure that the future of the Leixlip plant is assured due to the very important role he plays in his infrastructure, but in Rte They argue that he is negotiating with the Irish government to find a way to reduce the cost of electricity that he is currently paying. Presumably it is likely that the State finally assume a part of the cost of energy. Image | Intel More information | Rte In Xataka | The US does not press only Nvidia and Asml against China.

We knew that US Big Tech had a problem with the costs of their AI. DeepSeek has just shown to what extent

by

DeepSeek is the new darling of AI. This family of models, developed by a Chinese R&D laboratory of the same name, has achieved what seemed impossible: compete with the OpenAI or Meta models and do so, according to them, at a much lower cost. Is that true? A development 18 times cheaper than GPT-4. The Chinese startup released DeepSeek V3 671B at the end of December 2024. Its gigantic model was trained in just two months with a budget of 5.58 million dollars according to SCMP and analysts cited in Financial Times. Its performance is comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-4, but the latter cost about $100 million to develop according to Sam Altman. That’s almost 18 times more if we take into account both the data revealed by SCMP and Altman’s estimates. Comparative cost of the main chat and reasoning models today. DeepSeek’s price is incredibly lower than its competitors. Data: DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta. Amazingly cheap. The cost of DeepSeek’s API is incredibly low when compared to its competitors. If we take the data from DeepSeek, Goal, OpenAI, Google and Anthropic It seems to be clear that the cost of using DeepSeek through its API is much lower than that proposed by its rivals. We have included the cost of GPT-4o mini which seems to be the only one comparable, but its performance is much lower than DeepSeek V3. DeepSeek V3 is superior to most of its competitors, although it is true that Meta has released for example Llama 3.3 in recent days and that comparison varies frequently. And it is (theoretically) superior to all. As they point out on RedditDeepSeek V3 prices are promotional: starting February 8 they will be $0.27 per million input tokens (almost double) and $1.10 per million output tokens (almost four times more) . This makes the comparison somewhat better for the competitors, especially for Llama, the only one that can compete in cost although the Chinese model is superior to that of Meta (and almost also to the rest in many metrics) according to the benchmarks carried out in DeepSeek. DeepSeek also “thinks” cheaper. The cost comparison is not only in favor of DeepSeek in the area of ​​traditional chatbots, but also in the area of ​​reasoning models. According to its internal benchmarks, the spectacular DeepSeek R1 It is significantly superior to OpenAI’s o1, but using the o1 API costs 27 times more than that of DeepSeek R1. Hallucinatory. Price drop in sight. As expert Ethan Mollick points out, the market will adjust to these DeepSeek-driven price drops fairly quickly. According to their estimates, the cost of a GPT-4 level AI was reduced 1000 times in 18 months, and a 95% drop in the price of the reasoning models, which right now are clearly higher than the AI models behind ChatGPT, for example. a chinese tsunami. The launch of the DeepSeek models is a great little revolution for all types of developers of AI-based solutions: they now have access to much cheaper models that are comparatively equal to or superior to those of the competition. This puts their rivals in a lot of trouble, and we will see how they react. Good news for users. The truth is that for us, the users, as well as for the developers, this is great news, especially because these prices make access to these functions incredibly cheaper. The market has been following this trend clearly, but DeepSeek has made the jump in cost reduction suddenly drastic. Image | Xataka with Freepik Pikasso In Xataka | OpenAI prepares a PhD-level AI.

César Huerta has another great performance in the Anderlecht, which gets second win in Belgium in Belgium

by

The Mexican César “Chino” Huerta He had a Good performance in Belgium with Anderlecht; after He scored a goal in his debut, In this new opportunity, the striker jumped to the court as a starter, They canceled a goal and generated many danger actions. In a match corresponding to the date 23 of the Jupiler Pro League, andL Anderlecht Hilvanó his second consecutive victory and the second in which Huerta appears; that is to say, Since the Azteca arrived in Europe, his team has not lost in the homemade tournament. At minute 19 the “Chino” was close to opening the score, When he took a riflazo at the height of the criminal spot And his shot shook the crossbar After overcoming the goalkeeper of Wolf, who only looked at the ball. The play generated controversy, since After cimbrar the upper post, the ball chopped and, for many crossed the finish line, but the central referee did not valid the goal and prevented the Mexican from singing his second goal in Europe. Three minutes later Huerta generated danger again, sending a filtered pass to Thorgan Hazard, who finished off the door, but the goalkeeper managed to stop the ball and Goto could not take advantage of the rebound. The score opened shortly after, when the Anderlecht recovered the ball in the same play and Hazard from the band pressed so that the front center, Keisuke Goto, who debuted as a starter in the Belgian team, threw himself with popcorn and shook the networks of the networks of the Mechelen. The second goal came to a stopped ball, with a punishment shot charged from the right wing, in which Jan-Carlo Simic, he finished off head and sent the ball to the bottom of the network. In the second half Benito Ramán discounted at 49 ‘, who finished a backlash When finding a goalkeeper’s rejection and push the ball to the net from the small area. The third of the violet and whites arrived through Yari verse, who He took advantage of a series of rebounds to shake the nets again. Despite providing a great party, Vegetable garden, who played as a left end, just as he did many times with Pumas in the MX League and with the Mexican National Team, left the change court at minute 81when the game was already practically determined and did it in the midst of a generalized ovation of the fans that attended the Lotto Park. Finally, a minute after the “Chinese” departure The fourth arrived so much, when Hazard appeared in the area seeking to finish off a ball that finally put the defender in his own door That covered it, Ahmed Touba. The next League match of the Anderlecht, where we could see Huerta will be the next Sunday against the Gent, since You will not be able to play the mid -week game against the Hoffenheim of the Bundesliga By regulation of the Europa League. As a curious fact, at the end of the meeting against the mechelen, César Huerta found two fans who from the stands asked for an autograph on a shirt of the Pumas; “The Chinese” did not refuse and embodied his rubric in the sweater of his exequipo, which helped him make the leap to Europe.

Sweden has just found another damaged underwater cable in the Baltic. The fourth case already has a suspect

by

Last week there were two news that gave an idea that everything that surrounds the cuts and damage of underwater cables in the Baltic is far from ending. After an investigation carried out in the United States, it was slid that the cases in recent months They were not due to a Russian sabotage, but to inexperience and the deterioration. Hours later, United Kingdom put the focus on Russia After detecting a ship in its waters for the second time. Sweden too. A Sweden-Leonia cable. Apparently, A new underwater data cable, now between Sweden and Latvia, was damaged yesterday Sundaymarking the fourth recent incident in the Baltic Sea, one that generates concern in NATO about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Latvia’s prime minister, Evika Siliņa, has described the damage as significant and probably “caused by an external force”which has led to the opening of a criminal investigation. As we have explained, previous incidents They have been linked to Russian and Chinese ships. Ongoing research and measures. The Financial Times had a few hours ago That the systemal authorities already have a suspect. In fact, they sent a patrol boat to inspect a vessel near the cable at the time of damage, while two other ships are also being monitored. Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, confirmed the damage to at least one cable and said that Sweden is collaborating closely with Latvia and NATO to clarify the incident. In response to these attacks on critical infrastructure, NATO has deployed drones, submarines, ships and airplanes in the region Under the “Baltic Sentry” operationan action that aims to detect and prevent possible sabotage attempts. As we also count, United Kingdom has deployed its p8 posidon fighters. Background and suspicions. The situation, by repetitive, leads to the affected nations that there is something else. The Recent incidents in the Baltic They have fueled suspicions about possible acts of sabotage by Russian and Chinese vessels. Finland recently seized An oil tanker of the so -called “Shadow Flot” by Russiacomposed of old ships registered in remote jurisdictions such as the Cook Islands, which evade international sanctions. Finland Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen declared that It is unlikely that the damage will be accidentalalthough he avoided pointing directly to Russia. Not just that. In previous incidents, a Chinese ship, the Newnew Polar Bear, damaged a gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia by dragging your anchor, while Chinese load Yi Peng 3 crossed on two data cables In the same region in November. Subsequently, he remained a month in international waters between Denmark and Sweden, where he was approached by Chinese researchers, although access to Swedish inspectors was denied, generating criticism from Stockholm. Why are they so important. It We have underlined On more than one occasion, but now something else joins. This last incident occurs in a high voltage context, since Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are preparing to disconnect in February from the Soviet Electricity Inherited and join the European continental system, a key step for its total integration in the West. The three countries, NATO members and the EU, consider this transition as His last separation from Russian influencewhich has generated fears of possible sabotage attempts to hinder the process. In this regard, Lithuania Defense Minister Kęstutis Budry A review of navigation standards in the Balticespecially when it comes to the use of anchors, underlining the most obvious: that the high number of recent incidents reduces the possibility of accidents. Repairs and contingency measures. Unlike gas pipelines and power lines, whose repair can take months, Fiber optic cables damaged in the Baltic are usually restored in weeks. In fact, the State Radio and Television Center in Latvia has assured that it has already found alternative routes to maintain communications in operation. Be that as it may, the repetition of these incidents, The room in the Baltic in such a short timeposes a significant strategic challenge for the region, one that has intensified its cooperation with NATO to strengthen the protection of its critical infrastructure. In fact, the organization has made it clear that any new sabotage action will be faced with firmer measures to guarantee the protection of communications and energy supply in the region.

It is the greatest existential threat that Silicon Valley has faced

by

They have barely spent five days since its launch, but Deepseek R1 has caused An earthquake in markets (-6.5% NVIDIA, -3.5% Microsoft, -8% ASML) that goes beyond its technical efficiency. The true threat to the American industry is in its open nature: Depseek is democratizing technology that Silicon Valley has kept jealously stored after its own walls. Why is it important. The western industry of AI has been built on two pillars that Depseek has just dynamit: The need for multi -million dollar investments in hardware. The extreme secretism about the architecture of its models. The money trail. Wall Street is reacting hard because Depseek directly threatens the dominant business model that has taken us here. Investors ask questions: how to justify projects such as Stargate (and its half billion dollars) If there is an open and efficient alternative? What value intellectual property when your competitors openly publish their advances? Between the lines. The Chinese strategy seems clear: to use the open source as a Trojan horse to destabilize Western domain in AI. It is no coincidence that Depseek has chosen this moment, when: American models show signs of stagnation (where is it GPT-5?). Inversiones in infrastructure are triggered. Business models remain without clarifying. The big question. Several experts have pointed out that we are facing Sputnik moment For AI: when the United States discovered that it did not have the monopoly of advance in the space race. R1 has that magnitude, or do you have to relax expectations about its implications? Perhaps “only” (add all the quotes they want) we are rather at a Linux time: their arrival democratized the operating system starting from open source as a disruptive tool, but the industry continued to thrive. Windows did not disappear, he simply adapted to a new scenario in which open and closed source coexist. The difference is in the rhythm. Linux took years to seriously impact the market. R1 has caused immediate shaking even in stock assets of giants. Perhaps the market understands that AI is too valuable and promising to afford as closed and expensive development as the current one. Whether it is a Sputnik as if it is a Linux, R1 marks a before and after: it shows that the toe can be created more openly and efficiently. Yes, but. There are certain persistent doubts about the real costs of Deepseek. THE CEO OF SCALE AI He has suggested They have more hardware access than they say, but hide it for violating commercial restrictions. Even so, even if their costs were greater, R1 would continue to have a strong impact on the industry to choose the open model for such a powerful model. The time of truth. The American’s industry now has a dilemma: or maintain its current model, based on very high investments and a strong secrecy, risking being displaced by Chinese efficiency … or pivoting towards a greater opening to compete on the board raised by Deepseek . Deepen. The analogy with Sputnik beyond technological surprise. As then, this moment can catalyze a transformation in how technology develops and markets. The difference is that this time disruption does not come from the state apparatus but from the Chinese private sector, and its weapon is not the space race but the open source for AI. China, frequently criticized for its control over information, is using the openness and transparency to stand up to Western technological domain.

What is it, how does this artificial intelligence have

by

Let’s explain What is Deepseekthe artificial intelligence chat created by the company of the same name. It is an AI that at the beginning of 2025 is calling a lot of attention, and that even in mobile stores of applications already managed to overcome Chatgpt. And not only that, but also in performance and reasoning tests with its model R1. In recent months we have talked a lot about this company and its models, especially because They are open sourceallowing it to be more accessible to everyone, and because it shows how much China is progressing in artificial intelligence technologies. What is Deepseek Deepseek is the name of a Chinese company specialized in artificial intelligence. It is also The name of your ia chatan alternative of Chatgpt, Gemini, Copilot and company. Therefore, you can listen and read Deepseek mentions referring to both. In this article we are going to focus on the artificial intelligence chatbot, which is a Great linguistic model o Large Language Model (LLM), created to help with software development, natural language processing and business automation. Deepseek stands out for open source. This means that anyone can see how it works internally, It is totally transparentand anyone can be installed locally or use it with total freedom. A developer or researcher can Download the github and modify it for various scenarios, including some commercials .. This totally contrasts with the secrecy of private models. There is usually the false perception that one of the things in favor of the private and opaque code of the majority of developers is that the quality of their products is superior. However, Depseek is proof that open source can match and even exceed these companies in some aspects. Another of Deepseek’s main characteristics is that its native chatbot, that of its official website, It is totally free and does not require any subscription to use its most advanced model. If we compare it with Chatgpt asking the same questions, Depseek can be a bit more concise when answering, it goes more to the grain. However, it has the same flexibility as other models, and you can ask you to explain things more widely or adapt them to you. Two models of AI as spearhead Deepseek has given much to talk at the end of 2024 and early 2025 for two specific models. First it is Deepseek v3a LLM long scale model that exceeds most of AI, and also surpasses some owners. In evidence such as programming, this model managed to overcome Llama 3.1 405B, A GPT-4O and QWEN 2.5 72B, although they all have much less parameters and that can influence performance and comparisons. But what has really surprised this model is that “only” needed 2,788 million hours of training, and this process cost only 5.5 million dollars. To give an example, with the OpenAI GPT-4 about 80 million dollars were invested. Come on, what cost much less to trainwhich makes it a very efficient model, and 60% larger that calls 3.1 405b, of finish line. The other great model has been Deepseek R1which specializes in reasoning, and has been able to achieve or overcome the performance of OpenAI’s most advanced models in key mathematics and programming tests. With him, it is the first time that an open and free Chinese model Equal Western leadersbreaking the monopoly of Silicon Valley. To put some figures, this R1 model has cost to develop between 90% and 95% less than its competitors, and has 671,000 million parameters. In addition, in mathematical tests Math-500 has achieved 97.3% hits, compared to 96.4% OpenAi. However, not everything is good. As with Gemini or Chatgpt, Deepseek It is also subject to the values ​​of the country where it has been developed. In this case it has been developed in China, and adapts to its regulation, and must “embody fundamental socialist values.” To give an example, this does not answer sensitive questions about politics and geopolitics, such as those about Tiananmen or Taiwan’s autonomy. In this regard, in China they are more ferrous when controlling the answers, there is greater state control. Therefore, while Western models can have more liebrtad to discuss controversial issues for the values ​​with which it has been trained, in Chinese models They must always align with ideology and narrative of the party that governs the country. How Deepseek works Deepseek has been developed using pure reinforcement learningwithout previously labeled data. This is a technical feat that until now was considered impossible, and that opens new doors to training this type of systems. This referez learning allows the model to be able to Learn for yourself by proof and errorjust like you can learn to ride by bike or perform some tasks. This makes the initial result more erratic and inaccurate, but the model itself discovers and develops unique reasoning strategies to continue improving. Once this training was done, Depseek refined the model combining it with other supervised training to polish it and create the final version of R1, which maintains this component but adding consistency and polished. Facing the user its operation is the same than that of other models. You have a home screen with a writing field and several operating options, and then when you see the results you have a left column with a history of all your chats. To use it you have to Write a question in natural languagejust as you would do it with a question. Then, Depseek will analyze the words of your question to find the result, and then look in the database with which he was trained or on the Internet to obtain data with which to compose an answer also in natural language. Thanks to the way it has been created, this model can understand complex contexts of very long and elaborate questions. In addition, you can also learn and improve. Its application can be used for free online or lowering your mobile app, and has no fee. What can you do with Depseek … Read more
