There is so much fever for the Xiaomi Yu7 that there are already those who pay more for buying one used than for a new one. And it makes sense

by

The fever by the Xiaomi Yu7 has reached its climax: it is already paid more for the electric SUV sold as a “used” than like a new car. The waiting list is so wide that the bubble has swollen to unsuspected limits. Not only is the mirror of an excessive demand. Used, yes, but more expensive. Specifically, about 2,400 euros. That is the area that those who aspire to have tomorrow (in China, of course) have to pay a Xiaomi Yu7 In the garage, according to Carnewschina. The specialized medium collects that there are up to 80 ads in vehicle sale stores where Xiaomi Yu7 is sold above the market price as new. Specifically, the profits is between 1,200 and 2,400 euros (depending on the version). The most coveted. Among the units that are sold, the most desired is the Max, which are generally offered with less than 100 km registered. Exit, The car had prices of 253,500 yuan (about 30,191 euros) for the Standard version, 279,900 yuan (33,335 euros) for the Pro version and 329,900 Yuanes (39,290 euros) for the MAX, the most powerful option. The more version has 101.7 kWh battery but it is not the option with greater autonomy. This is reserved for the Standard option which also has a huge battery (96.3 kWh capacity) but its power is lower, registering lower consumption. That, precisely, is the most attractive of the Xiaomi Yu7 Max, a car with an autonomy of 770 kilometers (according to the Optimistic Chinese homologation cycle) and a rapid power of 690 hp, an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 3.23 seconds and a maximum speed of 253 km/h. A business. That is, the most expensive option is registering overprices of about 2,400 euros. Or, what is the same, about 6% about its purchase price. It does not seem excessive but it is a pinch for those who made one of the company’s first reserves and want to do business or prefer the money to the car. But those who, of course, are doing business are concessionaires. They point in the Chinese environment to which a good part of the Xiaomi Yu7 overcrowded with respect to their output rate are concession automation. That is, these companies are playing with the usual margin and, right now, selling them more expensive than the company itself. Endless. The trend responds to the wide waiting list that Xiaomi faces when selling its cars. The fever for the electric SUV, the company’s second car, has led the brand to stop the reserves since the delivery of them has shot until 60 weeks in its Standard version. That is, about a year and two months. Pro and Max options offer better waiting times. But not much better. For the Xioami Yu7 Pro you have to wait between 49 and 52 weeks and for the Max between 39 and 42 weeks. That is, the delivery of the Xiaomi Yu7 Max has been almost 10 months. All this is a consequence of A wave of excessive reservations In the first hours. Before finishing the day of the presentation, Xiaomi registered 248,000 reservations in 18 hours. Of these, 200,000 were recorded alone In the first three minutes in which the page was open. Dragging the company. In Carnewschina They echoed another striking movement. The Xiaomi Su7 Yay had a really long waiting list but after relieving it slightly, the electric Berlina has re -delayed its delivery times. The company has decided to dedicate part of the current Berlin line to produce the electric SUV to try to balance the wait between both models. Again, the price of the Xiaomi Su7 was shot again in the second -hand market. To the point that the Su7 ultrathe most radical option rose up to 15,000 euros above of its rate price. Of course, there is no possible comparison with Yu7 because the latter has not yet announced a similar version. The risk. The greatest risk that Xiaomi faces is very evident: the tired of the client. China is the country where more electric cars are bought but also where competition is greater and The renewal time of the models is shorter. If Xiaomi fails to lighten the waiting list, it runs the risk of Your car is slightly obsolete In relation to the rest of the market and customers begin to flee to other brands. To solve it, the company works for forced marches to expand its factory for electric cars. For the moment It already has two factories dedicated (one to each product although, as we have seen, that of the Xiaomi Su7 is also giving way to some SUV units) And you have another in progresswith the aim of being able to serve a demand that has the company completely overwhelmed.

Ozzy Osbourne was key to lighting something almost more culturally important than metal: television realities

by

The death of Ozzy Osbourne is generating multiple manifestations of condolenceand it is not for less: one of the latest genuine stars of classic rock leaves. However, although his passage through Black Sabbath and his solo career are his most relevant milestones within music, it is also worth remembering him for how he helped configure modern television in one of his most popular aspects: the reality shows. The Lord of Darkness. It is impossible to summarize here the relevant role that Ozzy Osbourne has in the history of rock, as it is impossible ‘I’m Ozzy’, edited by Espop). However, and despite the success of classics such as’Crazy Train‘ either ‘War Pigs‘, In 2002 nobody already remembered Ozzy. Until The Osbournes revolutionized the genre of realities forever. Mrs. Osbourne. Sharon Osbourne was Ozzy’s wife since 1982, although he had been as a representative of his solo career since 1979 (his father, a historic industry, had also been Black Sabbath’s manager). Sharon was fundamental in Ozzy’s sound in the 80s, oriented to a more pop metal that opened the doors of the MTV. And it was also the brain of the reality ‘The Osbournes’, conceived as a project in which their children were clips presenters, but ended up evolving to show the daily life of the family. His inspiration was also MTV’s canonical reality ‘The Real World’, but with a difference. Here the protagonists were famous. The never seen. The concept was very novel for the time: show the intimacy of a famous family, of the most trivial details to the most dramatic. The chaos that breathed Ozzy’s life gave him a strange air of likelihood and lost that semi-guy air of ‘The Real World’. Success was immediate: razed in audience (In his day, it was the most watched program in the history of the channel) and became the first program of its kind in win a primetime emmyin the category of best non -fiction series. The fault that MTV will become a video clip channel to one of realitieswith programs such as’ Jersey Shore ‘(a phenomenon that would give rise to’ Gandía Shore ‘),’ Teen Mom ‘, ’16 and pregnant’ or ‘catfish’ coping the channel grill? It is from ‘The Osbournes’. Sitcoms in real life. What makes ‘The Osbournes’ so iconic is possibly that he had all the elements of a classic sitcom (hallucinated but endearing father, cunning mother, rebel children), but with themes and vocabulary that could not be seen in a fiction series (continuous swear Patriarch jumping again and again Sharon’s attempts to have something remotely similar to a script. Something of that spirit was transmitted to the next great success (which still lasts) of the genre, ‘Las Kardashian’ and, in Spain, ‘Alaska and Mario’. Ephemeral success, indelible footprint. The program only lasted four seasons, not for a fall at the audience, but because Success surpassed its protagonists. Ozzy was not prepared for all that attention again (in fact, he fell to the drink), and Jack had to go to therapy. He configured, yes, the image of Ozzy that already accompanied him until his death: a rock star that started snacks of pigeons on stage, but with which you would not mind sitting up for a while in front of TV in slippers to listen to his comments about the “horrible, horrible music” that the kids do today.

Roig believes that in 2050 we will no longer have kitchens at home because we will buy the food out. Science is not so clear

by

The appointment was designed to boast resultsbut during the presentation of his 2024 memory, Juan Roig, president of Mercadona, launched a prognosis that monopolized almost more holders than the milmillonary turnover of the company. For many of many, the Valencian He predicted That babies who are born in thirty years will not know what it is to have pots or a caster. “I said and kept it: in the middle of the 21st century there will be no kitchens.” The reason? People will feed out of home or base of precooked dishes ‘ready to eat’ like those sold by the Mercadona itself, according to Roig’s particular gastronomic dystopia. A study Recent suggests that the Valencian perhaps rushed in his forecast and that, despite the changes of habits, Spain remains a country full of kitchens. A percentage: 59.1%. What percentage of Spaniards still cooking frequently? And how do they do it? Questions similar to those are what was raised a while ago Elena Sandriof the Catholic University of Valencia (UCV). To resolve them, he conducted a survey with more than 1,500 participants who threw some interesting conclusions, now embodied in An article Posted in the magazine International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science. Specifically there is a fact that seems to question that the future without kitchens prophesied by Roig is just around the corner: 59.1% Of the Spaniards still cook daily or almost daily. “It is still central”. The study does not stay there. The study reveals that the average time that 59.1% dedicated to the kitchen is around the hour and a half and that there are still a clear differences between sexes: they cook more frequently, apply healthier techniques and show wider gastronomic knowledge. Its score is several points higher than that of men. If we look at the ages, clear differences are also seen: adults cook more. With that data the expert reaches A clear conclusion: “Homemade cuisine is still central to Spanish culture.” His study also reveals the importance of knowledge to favor “healthy culinary practices” or “sociodemographic disparities”, especially among men, people with low educational level, young people and people who live alone. “They tend to resort more to fast food and prepared dishes, often due to the lack of time, skills or knowledge.” Is it the only study? No. Throughout the last years several studies have tried to answer the same question: do we continue to cook the Spaniards? In 2023 FESNAD, the Spanish Federation of Nutrition, Food and Dietary Societies, made A study With a sample of 1,075 and obtained a photograph somewhat different from that of Sandri: according to their calculations, about 46% of the Spaniards continue to turn on their vitros or stoves every day. It is a considerable percentage, although it already crosses the border of the middle of the population. “Our kitchen at home is losing importance, we do not cook daily and cook alone. We do not cook every day for the little time we have and the speed with which we live,” He pointed out The Vice President of Fesnad, Rosaura Leis. Another interesting perspective is contributed by the Kitchen Canal, which also made Your own study with 2,251 interviews with people between 20 and 65 years. What did you find out? That the large majority of the population (around 90%) cooks at least once a week, but only a very poor 20% does so daily. New times, new habits. The previous fact, of course, must be analyzed taking into account another key that slides the Channel Cocina report: almost four out of ten Spaniards (36%) practice Batching Batchingso they dedicate a day to cook much of the food they consume throughout the week. Among young people that practice rises to 41% and if we talk about Madrid, 46% have incorporated it into their lives. The study It also reveals that more than half of the Spaniards eat from Taper at least once a week, especially lunch from Monday to Thursday, and 43% receive them from other people, especially (yes) of their mothers. Is it the only change? Again, the answer is ‘no’. Throughout the last years industry and researchers have been sliding data that reveal that, although Juan Roig’s prognosis may still sound distant, in Spain it is increasingly easy to meet people who feed (timely or of often) without turning on a single stove or take a pan. The Association of Prepared Dishes Manufacturers (ASEFAPRE) estimates that in 2024 the consumption of its products 6.6% shot In homes, overcoming the barrier of 700,000 tons. To be more precise, per capita intake grew 3.8% to touch 17.2 kg per year. Similar reading leaves Another report From the consultant Kantar, who reveals that the purchase of dishes “ready to eat” has shot 48% in a matter of two years in Spanish supermarkets. Moreover, its survey shows that in 20% of cases the client does not even consume them at home. “The interest at this time lies in the search for balance between time, health and culinary pleasure,” summarizes Veronika Kurshudyan, director of the Customer Area of the consultant. “Look for solutions”. Simply, and although Spain still is a country full of kitchens, people already “not only buy food”, warns Kurshudyan. Now demand something else when he goes to supermarkets: “Look for solutions.” From that approach it is better understood than when a few months ago the CIS dedicated himself to asking the Spaniards if they believed that industrial cuisine and the Fast food They were eclipse to home cooking, they meet a striking result: most (mostthree out of four) people responded affirmatively. What is the conclusion? The key I gave it a few days ago Miquel Echarri in THE COMIDIST- THE COUNTRY: Perhaps the prepared food is gaining ground at a good pace and there is already 40.9% of Spaniards who never cook or do it very afternoon in the afternoon (the other reading left by Sandri’s study), but home cooking is far from being a … Read more

If the question is what China is giving Russia in the Ukraine War, we have news: a complete army

by

At the beginning of July Bloomberg he took Some documents They showed how a little known firm based in Khabarovsk, at the eastern end of Russia, had emerged as one of the main drone manufacturers of the country. I did it thanks to a dense cooperation network Covering with Chinese companies. Now, Ukraine’s intelligence has shown something much bigger: Beijing is giving Moscow a 100% Made in China complete army. A new generation. The Ukraine Defense Intelligence Directorate (Gur) He has revealed The existence of a new type of Russian decoy drone manufactured entirely With Chinese componentsa disturbing milestone that shows the growing implication of Beijing in the Kremlin war machine. Although for years it is has documented the use of foreign pieces (including Chinese) in Russian arsenalthis would be the first time that an unmanned aerial system used in the Ukrainian front is completely built with technology from a single country: China. Chinese shahed. The drone, of the delta and reduced size, reminds superficially to the Shahed-136 Iranianbut it works mainly as a decoy to saturate Ukrainian aerial defenses, although it can also incorporate an explosive load of up to 15 kilos. The existence of this platform confirms that Russia has not only perfected its saturation tactics With drones, but has also consolidated new technological supply chains that avoid international sanctions. All the components and blocks of the drone are of Chinese origin Commercial components. Of the two drones recovered by the Gur, one of them contained exclusively Chinese pieceswhile the other included two still unidentified components. According to The investigationalmost half of the pieces of the first came from a single company: Cuav Technology Co., a Chinese firm based in Guangdong that It specializes in open source created systems. The components were flight controllers with autopilot functions, navigation modules, antennae and air speed sensors. The most notable is that this company, which in 2022 had publicly announced restrictions on the sale of products both to Russia and Ukraine to avoid its military use, has ended up starring in The technical nucleus of a new Russian weapon. The paradox. The contradiction is even more striking to know that Russia had previously presented a supposedly native vertical take -off drone that turned out to be a direct adaptation of a Cuav acquired product acquired Through Aliexpress. The fundamental difference with the new lure does not lies in the origin of its parts, but that it is now a Russian endogenous production based completely on Chinese technology, not a simple direct purchase. Some of the Chinese components found in a new Russian decoy drone AI and tactical expansion. Chinese involvement is not limited to passive electronics. Ukraine has documented The use of artificial intelligence in Russian drones as the V2Uwhich uses algorithms to Identify and select Objectives autonomously. This drone used a Chinese Leetop A203 minicomputer and a central processor with Jetson Orin de Nvidia module, which reveals a combination of Western and Chinese hardwareused by Russia to incorporate AI capacities in its operations. In addition, Beijing has contributed to the development of fiber optic drones long journey, allowing Russia to extend the scope of these platforms up to 50 kilometers. This technology offers immunity against electronic interference and signal blockages, in addition to overcoming geographical obstacles that limit control via radio frequency. Thus, Beijin has endowed Kremlin with key tools to maintain Your tactical advantageespecially in an increasingly conditioned conflict for The electronic war and the saturation of enemy sensor. Foreign pieces war. We had gone counting In the previous months. Actually, the drone lure manufactured in China is only one more piece within the vast Russian war gear assembled with foreign components. The Gur has recovered multiple Russian arms systems (such as Shahed-136 drones, cruise missiles S-8000 flagcommand vehicles with Radar 9S932-1attack helicopters KA-52 and missiles KH-101) that They contained pieces Native of the United StatesIran, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan or South Korea. In all cases, the parties escaped the export controls and ended Integrated in armament deployed on Ukraine. Even complete systems have been detected, Like a laser of Chinese origin designed for Brink Ukrainian droneswhose presence in Russia was confirmed after circulating videos on social networks. This transfer, identical to systems already provided By China to Iranreinforces the hypothesis of an active and sustained collaboration between both authoritarian regimes in the development of sophisticated weapons. China and implications. Although Beijing claims to maintain a neutral position before the war in Ukraine, its behavior seems the opposite. Filtered statements This month in CNN they revealed that Foreign Minister Wang Yi confessed to a meeting with the EU Foreign Policy Head of Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, which Beijing “cannot accept a Russian defeat” because it would allow the United States to focus their attention on containing China. In private, admitted that a prolonged war could benefit Beijing by distracting Washington from their strategic interests in Asia. This geopolitical calculation does not seem trivial: it reflects that for China, Ukraine is not a secondary issue, but A key piece on the global power board. His strategy seems to focus on keeping Russia sufficiently strong to erode Western influence, without compromising enough to become target of direct sanctions. The axis and the transformation of the conflict. Plus: unlike North Korea support (focused on Artillery, missiles and troops), the Chinese contribution It aims to silently mold the technological architecture of the conflict. The supply of microelectronics, complete platforms, AI tools and critical components has allowed Russia reconfigure your economy In war code and adapt your military industry to resist in the long term. A pattern that suggests that the flow of Chinese technology will not only continue, but will probably intensify, extending, perhaps, throughout the Russian arsenal. With Moscow Diplomatically isolated and financially pressedthe convenience alliance with Beijing is emerging as one of the most decisive variables in the future of war.

What really has the viral notice and what really does this function

by

Let’s tell you What does the option Improved Chat Privacy Regarding AIand to what extent I prevents us from spying on us. In recent days there is a viral notice that is being shared by many WhatsApp groups. It is said that we must Activate the improved privacy option so that artificial intelligence Do not access your messages. But this is not really true, and This option does not work exactly that way. There is some context in which I can prevent the IA from reading the messages, but it has nothing to do with protecting them from it. We are going to explain everything in a simple and easy to understand way. The improved WhatsApp and improved privacy In recent days a message has been spreading that it is said that “it seems” that if the option of “improved chat” in WhatsApp is not activated, Any artificial intelligence can access group messagessee the phone numbers and catch personal mobile information, even in private messages. This is not true, because AIs cannot enter WhatsApp chats uncontrollably and steal all data, it does not work in this way. Although there is something in which this function interferes with the fact that the members of a group or a chat can share a message or several with an AI. This viral message misinforms and lies, and that on the way or not, it causes an unjustified alarm. But it is also fair to say that it does not cause you problems, because This option will not do anything wrongIt will simply protect your conversations a little more, although in a different way. How advanced chat privacy works When you press in the name of the group in which you are or the person you are talking about in WhatsApp, you will enter the settings of that conversation. In them, you have a new option called advanced privacy of chatwhich serves to prevent messages on it from being shared. This function serves for the following things: Prevent your messages or photos from sharing in other chats. It prevents multimedia files from automatically saved in the mobiles of the members of the chat. The messages cannot be used for AI functions, such as mentioning goal AI. When you are in a chat, anyone who is in it, be it an individual conversation or a group, can Share a message or photo in other chats That you have in your WhatsApp. With this function activated in a, then this option to share them disappears. In addition, WhatsApp allows you to configure it so that all the photos that are shared in a group or chat They are automatically saved in the gallery of the mobile. In some cases the option is preactivated. Advanced privacy causes the files not to be saved by default. It is also mentioned that messages are prevented from being used for AI functions, but this has nothing to do with what is said in the viral message. Now we will explain it to you. How to protect the function against AI There are two ways in which an AI can access the conversations of a chat. The first is that You share a message to artificial intelligence. Remember that it is no longer just Goal AI in WhatsAppyou also have Chatgpt in WhatsAppand many ortho artificial intelligence systems that function as if they were normal chats, and those that you can share messages. As advanced privacy prevents sharing messages, It also prevents you from sharing messages to AI As to any other contact with which you have a chat. And then we have a goal AI, the artificial intelligence of the company responsible for WhatsApp. This AI allows other functions, such as mention it inside a group to ask for things. When you do this, a target AI can read the content of this group. If you do not mention the goal AI, it does not have to read the chat content. And if you activate this function, you will not be able to use AI goal in the chat, therefore you can not access what is said in it. Of course, goal can always use the content of the chats in general to train their AI, although There is a way to ask not to do it. About the viral message, another thing you should know is that An AI cannot enter your mobile by WhatsApp to catch your personal info And the content of private chats, so activating this function will not protect you from something that does not happen. In summary, the advanced chat privacy function protects you against only certain interactions with AI concrete, which are the integration of goal AI in the chat and to be able to share with any artificial intelligence a message. But nothing more. In Xataka Basics | 22 useful and not so well -known free artificial intelligence tools

93% of Spaniards have bought there throughout this year

by

Mercadona has eaten its competence in Spain and in an example to be followed by world giants such as Costco, Walmart or Tesco Regarding the margin of benefit, in what leads them with a good distance. Behind such specific figures there are usually more general ones, and that is just what the Wordpanel by numerator (before Kantar) is just than Kantar) than collect expansion. Absolute leader in market share. Mercadona has a 26.7% market share according to Wordpanel data, which represents a sidereal advantage over its closest persecutor, Carrefour (9.2%). They are followed by Lidl (6.7%), Eroski (4.3%), day (3.7%), consume (3.5%) and Alcampo (2.9%). Stronger in his hegemony. The most striking thing in a domain photo like this is that Mercadona is the second supermarket that grows the most compared to 2024, only behind Lidl ( +0.3% vs +0.4%). In addition, in 2024, Mercadona was the supermarket that grew the most. In addition to growing, it diversifies: one in seven euros of your benefit wins it Selling money, no food. 93.2%: Spaniards are very Mercadona, and much Mercadona. Having a room in the distribution market is already a huge milestone, but of all the data surrounding the Supermarket of Juan Roig, the most surprising is the percentage of buyers who have attended at least once to the supermarket: 93.2%. A figure that speaks not only of how internalized it is to buy in the Valencian company, but of the amplitude of its presence in the market. According to the company, it has 1,602 supermarkets on national soilwith establishments in all autonomous communities. The only places where we cannot find a Mercadona are the islands of La Gomera, El Hierro and Formentera. Lidl is far, far away. In contrast to the figure of Mercadona, which is practically the entire population, the percentage of users who have bought at least once in Lidl is in 69%, which is already a victory itself, because they are almost two points more than a year ago. And without opening more stores. The total number of Mercadona establishments has stagnant (or even reducing) A five years. In 2019, the company had 1,626 shops compared to 1,602 today. The great expansion It occurred between 2000 and 2010when they practically tripled their number of stores in Spain. As of 2015, they are around the same numbers. Changes in already open stores. Mercadona has been applying deep transformations in the establishments that I already had open, gradually making them “Stores 8“. They are broader, they have more advanced technology and integrate sections such as” ready to eat “, designed for those than They buy time, no food. These stores are, according to Juan Roig, “twice as profitable.” A unique model. In addition to the Spanish market figures, Wordpanel by numerator also collects, with similar methodology, the distribution market share in countries such as France, Ireland, United Kingdom either China. In several of them there are supermarkets that exceed 20% quota with slack, such as Tesco in the United Kingdom or Dunnes in Ireland. However, Mercadona is the only supermarket of all the analyzed that dominates its market of origin so clear about its maximum competitor. And in Ireland, for example, there are three supermarkets above 20%. In France, three above 17.5%. Spain is a unique case, although Covir will show that The opposite model also works.

A study reveals that the best of the four -day work week is not what it achieves: it is what eliminates

by

There are discrepant voices among those who argue that it is impossible to reduce working hours Without bringing the economy to bankruptcy of the country, while others argue that applying the work week to four days without reducing salary is demonstrating to be beneficial Not only for employees but also for companies. International investigation published in the magazine Nature Human Behaviour It reveals that the reduction from working hours to a four -day work week model produces Clear improvements in well -beingphysical and mental health, and labor satisfaction of workers, without the change having any effect About productivity. A two -year study. The study ‘The reduction of working time through a 4 -day work week improves the well -being of workers‘, conducted by researchers from the University of Boston and Dublin, was carried out between 2022 and 2024. 2,896 employees of 141 companies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States participated. The researchers divided participants into three groups according to the amount of weekly reduction hours: one with a reduction of eight hours or more (32 hours per week), another with reductions of five to seven hours and another with reductions from one to four hours in their weekly day. In addition, they formed a control group of 285 workers from 12 companies that were initially interested in reducing the day, but Finally they did not apply it. According to the authors of the study, these countries were chosen “partly by linguistic convenience, but also because their neoliberal labor systems are known and the stress levels among employees are high.” Before starting, some tips. As indicated in the study, on average, companies reduced the weekly work hours of 39.12 to 34.48 hours, which is equivalent to 80% of the usual schedule, but maintaining 100% of the salary. 30.8% of employees managed to reduce his day In eight hours or more per week, while 24.3% maintained the same amount of hours. As already demonstrated in the pilot tests of the four -day week, it is impossible to reduce the working day Without applying some changes in the way of working in companies. Therefore, the researchers had mentoring of the non -profit organization 4 Day Week Global, which has supervised the tests of the work week of tests such as the one that It was carried out In Valencia. However, as investigations point out, their role was limited to consulting to advise companies, but did not participate directly in the study of the study or in the interpretation of the data. The results soon arrived. Such and as indicated in Popular Sciencethe biggest surprise was that there was no surprise. The studies of the study coincide largely with the results obtained from the analysis of the different four -day work week pilot programs that have been carried out around the world. The more visible results indicate that the feeling of work exhaustion (Burnout) decreased by 16% in those who participated in the four -day work week, while in the control group it increased its exhaustion by 1.4%. General fatigue was reduced by 14%, and improvement in physical and mental health resulted in better self -perception by employees. In addition, sleep problems also descended 16%, showing the direct connection among less work hours and better capacity for rest. Better results are more reduced. The group of employees that reduced their working hours in eight hours or more recorded the highest percentages of improvement, including a reduction in exhaustion, increased job satisfaction and improvements in mental and physical health. For their part, groups with a minor day reduction Between one and four hours and between five and seven hours, they also experienced similar benefits, although in these cases the improvement percentages were lower. Improve because they are committed. Although the results confirm the positive effects of the four -day work week for the health and productivity of the workers, the researchers warn about some conditions. All participating companies were predisposed to apply the reduction of working hours, which can influence the positive motivation of the results. In addition, the information comes mainly from employee self -reports, so future research should include more varied methods and broader samples to consolidate these conclusions, at least to the same extent as this study consolidated the Results obtained by other researchers that have been collecting the data in the different pilot projects around the world. However, its authors consider that “despite their limitations, this study has important implications to understand the future of work, in which probably 4 -day work week will be a key component.” In Xataka | Not everything is 38.5 hours a week: the formulas for a waiter or temporary to benefit from the reduction of day Image | Unspash (INNN agency)

Coreweave, American giant, has commissioned the Spanish ACS to build a data center In Lancaster (Pennsylvania) that will cost 6,000 million dollars (about 5,160 million euros). The installation will start with 100 MW of power, expandable to 300 MW, becoming one of the largest in the world. Why is it important. Spain does not manufacture specialized chips or develop important models of AI, but it is finding its place in the value chain: build the physical infrastructure that makes the above possible. ACS, through Turner, is the one who will lead the construction of data centers in the United States with a portfolio of 12,000 million euros. The backdrop. The United States seeks the desperate infrastructure to feed the AI revolution. Data centers already consume 4.4% of all electricity in the country and are expected to reach up to 12% in 2028. Demand is brutal: 58 THD in 2014 a forecasts of up to 580 twh for 2028. An X10. The construction company of Florentino Pérez already works for Meta, Vantage Data Center and other technological giants. Your Turner subsidiary is who is more promoting its recent growth. In figures. The project will generate 600 jobs during construction and 70 initial permanent positions, which will grow up to 245. Coreweave calculates that each direct position will create six additional jobs. The announcement was faced with Donald Trump, which has promised 70,000 million dollars in investments In AI infrastructure. The panoramic. There is some trend that goes beyond ACS: ACCIONA builds solar parks that feed data centers. Electric network exports intelligent network technology. Ferrovial competes for digital infrastructure contracts in the United Kingdom. Spain has found its specialty: we do not invent the AI, but we know how to build buildings, networks and energy infrastructure that makes it possible. Deepen. ACS’s commitment has 2,000 MW in development and another 4,000 MW identified. The company He anticipated this movement in 2023buying land in Madrid for its first data center in Spain, which will operate since 2025. We are not architects of the AI revolution, but good masons.

Their downloads have fallen 72% and a rival begins to take their place

Who has followed the frantic race of the AI will remember the “moment Chatgpt” of Deepseek: That point where an almost unknown name jumps to the global debate. The Chinese chatbot sneaked into the conversations of Silicon Valley and there were those who presented it as The greatest threat that The American technological ecosystem had seen Asia out of generative. All this stir had reasons. Deepseek circulated with striking performance comparisons and with the promise, always attributed to the company itself, having reached those results with a fraction of the budget and the calculation power of its western competitors. About six months have passed since that peak of attention. Then we ask ourselves: at what point is now? The Deepseek phenomenon has begun to lose strength. As SCMP collectsa Questmobile report with National Business Daily reveals that its monthly discharges collapsed 72% in the second quarter, staying at 22.6 million on average. Just a few months ago, the thrust of its V3 and R1 models had made it the most disruptive alternative in the market. Although it continues to lead the Chinese ranking with 170 million monthly active users, that number has fallen 9% compared to the previous quarter. Bytedance has taken advantage of the situation with Doubaoits own chatbot, which already exceeds Deepseek in downloads (29.8 million per month) and grows strongly in active users, 30% more until reaching 130 million. Deepseek’s situation is not an isolated case. Other general chatbots are also losing traction, such as Yuanbao (Tencent) or Kimi (MoNshot AI), which have seen their downloads descend by more than 50%. Everything indicates that Chinese users are prioritizing applications of AI oriented to concrete tasks: office tools, study assistants or educational platforms. Productivity and study: where is the growth now. The interest of Chinese users is moving towards AI applications with direct utility in the day to day. Office tools such as IMA.Copilot (Tencent) and 360 Wenku (360 Security Technology) have grown strongly: +190% and +135% in active users in the last quarter. In education something similar happens. Kuaidui AI (Zuoyebang) and Doubao Aixue (Bytedance) have already sneaked among the six most used AI apps in the country. Doubao offers the possibility of having personalized avatars That migration is also seen in user flows. The report cites the case of the Baidu search app, which integrates Ernie Bot and Deepseek models: 59% of those who abandoned the Depseek app in May ended up using Ernie Bot the next month. An indication that users are looking for platforms with several combined services, not a closed experience. To this context is added another setback: the delay of the R2 model. Deepseek had planned to launch it in May as R1 relay, but it was postponed mainly because the CEO considered that the model was not yet ready, a circumstance aggravated by US restrictions. to the nvidia chips, According to Reuters and The Information. Now that H20 chips sales could be resumed soonDeepseek would have room to rearm your road map. Half a year later, the big issue. Deepseek passed from a global surprise to a reference that disturbed Silicon Valley. Today a more demanding market faces, in which the conversation is no longer enough: productivity, learning and integrated ecosystems mark the step. When R2 arrives (and if it arrives with the promised technical muscle), we will know if that “moment” was a flash or the beginning of a second life.
