Ouigo wanted to enter the Madrid-Galicia AVE but he already sees it impossible before 2030

by

“We have no problem in competing (…) but whoever wants to come, to make the investments that it has to do and that competes on equal terms” Thus, Álvaro Fernández Heredia, president of Renfe, in the past Executive Forum where the manager approached the open door for the competitors of the trains company in Spain to take the first steps to reach Galicia, has sounded. Galicia. Renfe has entered the line between Madrid and Galicia. Although the company has had to face criticism for Do not meet the expected times and skip some stops in Zamora To reduce travel times, the Madrid-Galicia axis is working very well to the company. Only a few days ago we knew that Renfe was taking more travelers than ever. A semester of record in which this line has been key, where the train has begun to make shadow even the plane because it has better time connections if you want to travel in the day or make night and return to the origin early in the morning. The competition. A few months ago, Adif launched the Second package in liberalization of high -speed tracks. The runners are Madrid-Galicia, Madrid-Asturias/Cantabria and Madrid-Cádiz/Huelva where Ouigo, Iryo or any other company can present Renfe battle. However, this It is not expected until the next decade Because there are no trains available. Talgo has already compromised all its production of the Avril trains that work there and is aware of which roads the new owners of the company will take. This has caused a bottleneck impossible to solve if it is not renting the company’s rolling material. According to The reasonOuigo would have contacted Caf and Talgo to buy the trains but they are already committed. The only solution is to rent Renfe’s rolling material. “And if possible”. This possibility has been completely denied by Fernández Heredia, president of Renfe, with the words mentioned above. But not only that, the manager has launched a dart to his competitors, although he has not mentioned them directly, emphasizing that the one who enters the corridor will have to “compete in equal terms. And if possible, not to losses“ Public Service. Renfe’s dart is not causal. The company has long accused Ouigo of operating at losses in Spain and although the French company ensures that it is the usual strategy when entering a market and that they foresee short -term profits, the government has reached Threatening to report to the French before the European Commission. Renfe, unlike the French or Iryo, have the obligation to operate in some lines as a public service, which he weighs his results account. A good example is the Oscar Puente lamentMinister of Transportation, following his obligation to pass through Extremadura, emphasizing that this way of acting does not guarantee clean competition. More liberalizations. Renfe, for the moment, seems to be insured by the Galician corridor. The problem of the lack of trains is that anyone is worth it. Vehicles are needed that can change between Iberian and international width. This peculiarity leaves Renfe as a competitive advantage because he has some Avril who, Although not exempt from problemsnobody has. But also, Spain has to face new liberalizations very soon. Among them that of Cercanías, a very controversial area because these services are of public obligation. Only in its public services (nearby, medium distance, metric width and Avant), Renfe moved in the first semester of 2025 to 259.5 million passengers.

Large basins already have their reservoirs less than 80% of their capacity

by

Summer is affecting Spanish reservoirs. After almost a year of Hydrolyogical recoverysummer goes to the amount of reservoir water, which has been especially reduced in the downtown and north basins. Two months. Since reaching its annual peak before the start of summer, the amount of water retained in Spanish swamps has descended significantly. If at the end of May the Spanish Water Reserve It was 77.5% of its capacity, nine weeks later It is 68.4%. At a light pace. The speed at which the swamps are emptying this summer It’s somewhat faster that the average of recent years and considerably faster than in the last two summers. If in their peak the Spanish reservoirs accumulated 43,407 cubic hectometers (HM³), now they have 38,311 hm³, a decrease of 11.74% compared to this maximum (9.1% less compared to the total capacity of the system). This fall is somewhat greater than usual in this period. If we took the same dates last year, the fall was 8.88%, while the average of the last 5 years was 11.18% for the same dates. 10.98% if we consider the last 10 years. Different basins, different falls. The basin most affected by this fall is that of the coast of Galicia. The reservoirs of this basin have passed to save 548 to 417 hm³or what is the same, 23.91% less water. Among the big basins, the largest falls have been seen in the Duero, which went from 7,040 to 6,031 hm³ (a 14.33%drop); and of the Guadalquivir, which passed from 4,905 to 4,206 hm³ (14.25% less). Less restrictions. Part of the difference can be explained with the end of the drought that threatened our reservation last year at this point, a drought that affected all the basins of the Peninsula. The lack of water led the administrations to introduce Measures to limit consumption water. Some measures that, as the rains arrived, were being lifted by the different administrations that introduced them. Now, After relaxing the measureswater consumption has been able to increase and, with it, the speed at which our swamps empties. A June of the most anomalous. Summer is always a time of water stress: rainfall is usually minor and water consumption is greater. This year this is especially true, especially during the month of June. The summer of 2025 began strongly. June was not only an extremely warm month (the warmest since we have records), it was also a drier month than is usually common on dates. Precipitation was about 68% of the usual in peninsular Spain. Heat implies greater Evaporation of reservoirs water. A study Posted in 2000 It estimated at 1,400 hm³ the evaporated water in reservoirs and wetlands of Spain. This figure, of course, depends on factors such as temperature, but also on others such as the filling of the reservoirs (more water, more surface; already more surface, more evaporation). Heat makes more water to refresh us, also through greater energy consumption, and the lack of rains in some contexts must be supplied with water from reservoirs.

Andrew Huberman is determined to make 150 minutes of cardio a week to live more. Science is not so clear

by

It’s 3:52 in the morning and Ashton Hall Start your day: Mouth Tapingcardio on the balcony, statements, ice on the face, banana on the face, all in timed time. His extreme morning routine went viral a couple of months ago with more 99 million views on Tiktok. What started as Skincare with Journaling He has mutated in a culture cult. More and more men adopt millimeter routines with the promise of order, control and success. In that scenario, Andrew Huberman, Stanford neuroscientificpodcast, Guy supplement, Not only is a reference: he is an architect of this new biohackeada masculinity model. Science and Podcast. Huberman’s fame comes for his program Huberman Lab, where he dissects studies on health, sleep, exercise and supplementation, with serious voice, marked body and surgical safety. Talk about protocols, not advice and millions follow it to the letter. What proposes Sounds simple: look at the sun in the morning, train on an empty stomach, dive into cold water, take magnesium, sleep 8 hours and repeat. But it sells it as a high performance science and packages it in a self -control language, constant improvement and masculinity without cracks. But is it reliable? Not everyone is convinced. The researcher Joseph Zundell (Harvard) has pointed out in Times How Huberman draws hasty conclusions from studies with limited evidence. Many of the articles that he quotes – special about supplements or longevity – are based on animal models or are preliminary. However, it makes them “protocols” with appearance of certainty. And we must not forget the conflicts of interest, since it recommends supplements like AG1 (from Athletic Greens), a company that actively collaborates. Although it is presented as an independent disseminator, its content is also part of the well -being business. Even in the most personal field. An article in New York Magazine He collected former partner testimonies that accuse him of manipulative behavior, toxic relationships and contradictions between his mental health discourse and his private life. One more bro? Yes, but with a doctorate. Huberman embodies the university version of the Bro-fitness: sculpted body, extreme control and scientific discourse. It is less explicit testosterone, plus paers reviewed. However, the objective is the same: optimize body and mind, and project success. Its physical presence is not secondary: it is part of the message. And their theories are perfectly aligned with the new online masculinity referents, where to take care of the skin and make cardio coexists with protein smoothies and direct sunlight as if they were dogmas. In his crusade for longevity, He has emphasized what to do 150 minutes from Cardio A week you can lengthen life. That figure appears in several episodes and interviews. But is it really backed by evidence? Science behind. This is where enthusiasm collides with complexity. The data of the “150 minutes” is not invented, but is decontextualized. In the videos he explains that training in zone 2-moderate intensity, without reaching exhaustion-for 150-200 minutes per week improves cardiovascular health, metabolism and brain function. However, a meta -analysis, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicineanalyzed 26 systematic reviews of 199 cohort studies: a total of more than 20 million observations. The general conclusion is clear: higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a significant reduction in the risk of death and cardiovascular diseases. There is no universal magic figure. According to Justin Lang (Cheo Research Institute)the response to exercise varies between individuals according to age, sex, genetic, health and lifestyle. A high -level athlete will need to train much more to improve its aerobic capacity. Someone who starts can benefit with just walking at a light pace three times a week. Besides, As he warns The cardiologist Jayne Morgan (Piedmont Healthcare), the benefits of cardio are not linear or infinite: more exercise does not always equals more health. The threshold depends on the physical condition and other clinical factors. In fact, studies such as The one published in Missouri Medicine They already talked about an inverted j curve: moderate exercise protects, excess can have adverse effects, especially in the heart. In summary: yes, 150 minutes of weekly cardio is a good reference for most healthy adults, but it is not a closed formula to extend life. Science supports regular physical activity as a longevity factor, but with margins, adaptations and without absolute guarantees. The hidden cost of male self -care. Huberman’s message – orders, discipline, physical performance – connects with a silent anxiety growing among many men. Obsesting with diet, body or training is no longer perceived as a problem, but as willpower. But behind certain extreme self -care routines, what sometimes there is is control, guilt or fear of failing. As the journalist Noemí López Trujillo explains in Newtralthis aesthetic pressure is not understood only in image terms, but as an extension of the norms of traditional masculinity: like it without seemingly effeminate, rendering without showing weakness, improving without speaking of beauty. Therefore, many men seek to “maximize” their physique instead of simply taking care of themselves. And that is where phenomena such as looksmaxxingthat disguise emotional discomfort with improvement language, but push it towards isolation, guilt or even radicalization. There is something in your favor. Andrew Huberman has achieved something that few scientists achieve: to become viral. Has brought complex concepts to mainstream and has aroused the interest of millions in the body, the brain and aging. But its way of translating science into protocol has costs. His statements, such as the 150 minutes of cardio to live more, are based … but also many nuances that he rarely explains. And in a world saturated with productivity anxiety, these nuances are essential. Not everything that seems science is. And not everything that improves your health needs a timed routine at 4:00 in the morning.

Thousands of people recorded a B-52 at a fair. Shortly after, a commercial flight had to maneuver sharply to avoid it

by

Skywest flight passengers, operated as Delta Connection between Minneapolis and Minot (North Dakota), starred in an unprecedented incident on Friday. The captain of Embraer 175 turned sharply The plane during the approximation by distinguishing a B -52 bomber from the American Air Force too close to its trajectory, which caused surprise and alarm on board. In a video recorded by the passenger Monica Green and Posted on Instagramthe pilot excuses the passengers: “Given their speed – they were military, I don’t know at what speed they were going, but they were much faster than us – I thought it was sure to turn around. They greatly apologize for the aggressive maneuver. It took me by surprise. This is not normal.” An unexpected event that is being investigated The FAA opened an investigation into the event on Monday. Skywest clarified thatdespite having permission to land, the flight made a frustrated approach maneuver By sighting another aircraft in its trajectory. The company is also evaluating the incident from its side. If you wonder what a B -52 was doing in that area, I was fulfilling a scheduled overflow for the North Dakota State Fair, As confirmed by the Air Force. That event is held in Minot, where a civil airport and an air base coexist. The military statement specifies that “The tower did not report the commercial plane”And, after exceeding the fairgrounds, he was ordered at the bomber to move three kilometers west. Tiktok @Theruralrose user recorded the two aircraft in the air from the North Dakota State Fair Platform monitoring data Flightradar24 reveal that he Embraer 175 He made an abrupt turn to the right, recovered altitude and remained waiting before restarting the approach. FAA added that air traffic control in Minot is managed by an external companywhose operators have “the same training and qualification requirements as those of FAA.” Green told CNN: “It was a very right turn and then he went quite to the sides. I looked out the window and all I saw was the grass.” The Embraer 175 belongs to the E -Jet family, a range of regional aircraft manufactured by the Brazilian Embraer. It is a narrow fuselage design thought for short and medium radio routes. Normally it transports between 76 and 88 passengers according to single or double class configurations, with turbofan engines GE CF34-8E and a vCruise elocity near 890 km/h (Mach 0.82).

This company was 158 years old and 700 employees. A weak password and click were enough to take it to bankruptcy

by

Imagine that you are working in a logistics company, of those that are responsible for managing the entire process so that a product arrives from one point to another, such as those that Amazon’s orders bring to us when we make a purchase, and that from one moment to another all the necessary systems to make the business stop working Due to a cyber attack. What would happen? If the systems do not return to normal, it would probably be a matter of time for the company to pay the consequences. Of course, such a scenario should be avoided with cybersecurity measures, protocols, backups and others. But, let’s be sincere, not everyone is prepared as they should face security threats, even when they have the ability to severely damage or destroy your business. This is what has apparently happened to a British business group called KNPwhich operated 500 trucks under several companies, including a call Knights of Old. When cybersecurity fails, the business can sink The KNP CEO, Paul Abbott, He said in an interview with the BBC That it is believed that a group of cybercriminals managed to infiltrate the systems by guessing the password of one of its employees. What the group of malicious actors did, apparently called Akira, was Straw the data With a ransomware. “If you are reading this, it means that your company’s internal infrastructure is totally or partially dead …”, he said part of the rescue note that, curiously, did not include a specific rescue figure. While the latter may seem unusual, it is also somewhat understandable. Some groups of cybercriminals They have even their own support mechanismswhere they can talk and negotiate with their victims. Recall that the final objective is usually to earn money, so we would rarely see a rescue figure high enough so that the attacked does not meet, but strong enough for the movement to mean some gain. It did not transcend how much money the cybercriminals requested, but it is known that, according to the company, They did not have the money To make the rescue payment. The aforementioned British media collects the analysis of specialists that points to 5 million pounds (about 5.7 million euros). The amount of money, they point out, was unassumable for the company. It is not clear if from the firm they continued to negotiate with the group, but explain that by the end of 2023 the data “were lost” and the company soon declared themselves in bankruptcy. Most employees were dismissed (about 730) and only 170, from one of the companies, called Nelson Distribution, based in Derby, retained their job, but this company was sold. This was the sad outcome for a firm with more than 150 years old. It is likely that after reading this, many questions will come to mind, for example, about the preventive and mitigation measures of which we talked to the beginning. According to those responsible, KNP complied with industry standards and had insurance against cyber attacks. Apparently none of this was enough. Nor do we know if the company already dragged some kind of previous problem and the cyber attack what it did was complicate everything. It is not a unique case. QUALYSEC warns that 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyber attack end up closing in the following six months for not having sufficient resources to recover. A report from Verizon in 2020 already underlined That same figure, highlighting the financial damage, the loss of reputation, the distrust of the clients and the operating chaos that leaves an attack.

What Spacex has achieved with Starship is incredible. The only problem is that he has done it at the expense of the health of his employees

by

Spacex has no paragon. The speed at which it assembles its rockets, the tests and itera in its design is far from the competition. But it comes with a hidden cost: a rate of injuries that multiplies by four of its rivals and reminds the security figures of 30 years ago. Context. Starbase is the Starship operations basethe place where the Aerospace Company of Elon Musk manufactures and proves the gigantic Rocket Starship with the ambition to launch thousands of ships to Mars in the coming decades. Although the program has achieved unthinkable technological feats, its frantic rhythm and its vertiginous deadlines are having a high human cost, especially if the risks assumed by Spacex are compared with the usual caution of the space industry. Six times more work accidents. Official data analyzed by Techcrunch They reveal that Starbase suffers six times more occupational accidents than the industry average, which makes it the rocket factory with the highest risk of injury in the United States. The Spacex headquarters registered a rate of injuries that multiplies by four of its rivals and resembles the figures of 30 years ago, when the security protocols were more lax. The figures are public. They leave The database of the United States Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and use a standardized metric: the total rate of registrable incidents (TRIR), which calculates the number of injuries in one year per 100 full -time workers. Are public data that Spacex is obliged to report. And they are overwhelming. Starbase’s trir in 2023 was 5.9. That is, for every 100 employees, there were almost six recordable injuries. In comparison, the average of the space vehicle manufacturing sector was 0.7. And the average of the entire space sector was 1.6. A 30 -year setback. Although Starbase’s trir improved 4.27 in 2024, it is still a fact comparable to that of the sector 30 years ago. In 1994, the average trir was 4.2. In Starbase, with 2,690 employees in 2024, more than four injuries per 100 employees was 3,558 days of work with restrictions and 656 days of low labor. Anomalous even within Spacex. Starbase is not only a black point compared to the rest of the industry, but also within Spacex itself. None of the company’s facilities approaches the figures in southeastern Texas, with the exception of risky rocket recovery operations on the high seas (with a 7.6 trir). While Starbase registered 4.27 in 2024, the Falcon rocket factory in Hawthorne (California) recorded 1.43. A figure closer to that of competitors such as Blue Origin (a 1.09 in its Florida factory) or United Launch Alliance (1.12 in his Alabama factory). On the other hand, Starlink Terminal Factory in Bastrop registered 3.49, the Redmond satellit factory registered 2.89, the McGregor engines factory recorded a 2.48. Move fast and break things. Elon Musk’s philosophy works when applied to rockets, but squeaks when applied to the safety of his workers. What does Musk say? That the traditional media lie. Or at least that said when Reuters published that Spacex had not declared injuries that included amputations, crushed members and a death For a burst of wind that launched a worker from a truck. What does NASA say? NASA contracts with Spacex They include specific clauses that would allow the agency to intervene in case of a “serious security violation”, as a “repeated” sanction by the OSHA. The high trir rate, alone, is not enough to activate these clauses. Image | Spacex In Xataka | Starbase residents voted to be the city of Spacex. Now a letter has reached the right to their property

of cult fantasy writer to authentic “superstar” of the book

by

There is no current fantasy author more celebrated and read than Brandon Sanderson, COSMERE CREATOR (The fictional universe where most of his epic fantasy books develop). The attendees know the latest edition of the Fantastic Literature Festival Celsius, held last week in Aviles: tails and agglomerations to get an author’s signature are not remembered with any other recent. And his secret, beyond the quality of his books, is to have turned his name into more than a literary seal: it is a registered trademark. What he has written. Brandon Sanderson He began his career in 2005 with the novel Easterris. Is mainly known for its aforementioned Shared Universe, The Cosmerewhere your most famous series takes place, ‘Born of the Bruma (Mistborn)‘, which has several ages: an initial trilogy and a second series that expands the world. Another emblematic saga is ‘The Archive of the Storms’, an ambitious decline that began in 2010 with ‘The Camino de los Reyes’. With a clear, simple and direct literary style, which facilitates the immersion without complications, his work is characterized by complex magic systems and multiple interconnected worlds. He has become famous for his ability to exhaustively plan your workswhich allows you to integrate multiple plots and universes. What makes it different. 42 million books sold. But in addition, the creation of the company that is responsible for managing its fantasy emporium. Sanderson began to transform his simple writer’s career to an entrepreneur with the creation of Dragonsteel Entertainment, in the late 2010 decade. Although since previous years he had considerable control over his works, with Dragonsteel formalized and expanded this business structure to handle all aspects of production, commercialization and multimedia expansion of his work, which has led him to have a team of around 70 people. This transition allowed him to move from a traditional editorial model to an independent and multifaceted one, controlling from the publication to merchandising and related events. What is Dragonsteel. It is not a traditional editorialbut a multidisciplinary company that covers both the editorial division and that of merchandising. That is, Sanderson controls from there not only his novels, but also games, collectible letters, luxury editions and other derived products that expand the universe of their books and, Eye, connect with their fans community. The queues in the last Celsius They were not only for the author to sign books, but to buy special editions and merchandising exclusive in a booth installed for this purpose. Virtually no author in the world can boast a deployment of these characteristics. But writes something Sanderson? Precisely. Thanks to the internal structure of Dragonsteel, Organized in different departments (including human resources, production, conceptual art and logistics operations, managed by his wife Emily Sanderson and an executive team), Sanderson can focus on writing without losing control over the entire editorial and commercial process. And among other things to develop with a meticulous and long -range vision for the cosmere universe. AND Plan everything in view. To do this, although the writing of the novels is yours, the great scale of its production is supported thanks to a team that helps you. Their assistants and collaborators do not write the books, but support tasks such as correction and planning. Sanderson wants Crowdfunding. This independence from the editorial wheel is what allows Sanderson to organize campaigns of Crowdfunding Very successful and that, although they have not made him completely distance from the traditional market, they have given him a notorious independence. For example, in 2022 he launched a campaign to Finance the publication of four secret novels That he had written during the pandemic, initially asking for a million dollars, but that raised more than 41.7 million dollars, becoming the most successful campaign in the history of Kickstarter. This financing model It allows Sanderson to accurately measure the real demand of his books and products derived, avoiding unnecessary risks and costs of traditional publication. This has led Dragonsteel to maintain a constant strategy of Crowdfunding To finance editions, projects and new releases. An independent author. Sanderson writes his books, yes, but controls his editorial model: a lifetime edition mixture (his books continue to be sold in airports, such as those of any other author of Best Sellers) and use of the possibilities that open roads such as the Crowdfunding. A RARE Av Among the fantasy authors: Brandon Sanderson is not only an author, but also a registered trademark by readers around the world.

In Japan, a young man has devised the best way to leave at his time and not make extra hours: found his own religion

by

Work overload is one of Japan’s most serious problems, taking employees to collapse due to exhaustion. Despite the numerous measures that have been launched To protect workers, thousands of people are pressed to extend your workday Without compensation. In many cases, these eternal days generate physical and mental consequences They can be fatal. A Japanese young man has found an unexpected and legally protected form of getting rid of the so feared extra hours: founding his own religion. One that prohibits working beyond their working hours. The only commandment of Hista: You will go out at your time. In 2018, Motohiro Histano, tired of the workload and culture that surrounded him, decided to found a new religion he called Motohiro to Peoplealso known as MTOP. This was not going to be a religion like any other: it does not promise eternal life or demand penance for its faithful. Only offers a clear commandment: to refuse to work hours, arguing “religious reasons” not to do so, Point out on the webof the cult. He said In several statementshis main objective was to offer a valid (and legally respected) excuse to get out of work at his time. “The ‘religious reasons’ are the most powerful reasons in the world of reasons. I do not do miracles or have super powers. I only grant the power of the ‘religious reasons’ to those who follow me,” said Hista in Your message Foundational THE SACRED BOOK OF HISAN. If Judaism has the Torah, Islam the Qur’ Japan Labor Standards Law. The Japanese labor legislation provides strong protection against discrimination For reasons of sex, race or religion to its workers, so it is expressly forbidden to impose rules or retaliate against them for these reasons. That diligence in the protection of religious feelings was the one that gave the idea to Hista to found his church. If a religion dictates that “Nége to work overtime overtime, because it is bad to spend your time on things you do not want to do”, as faithful, the employee must follow those precepts. So the company will have no choice but to accept it, or assume a demand for religious discrimination. Pray to x. To make this religion the only thing that is needed is to follow An X account and join the followers of “Free Lance God“(The God free of responsibilities). As reads in his bio, religion has as many faithful as followers marks the accountant. At the moment, 17,100 faithful to the God that allows you to leave work at your time. Hista’s religion is laughing, reality does not. As with others Parodic religions like that of pastefarism, or the insumiso pussy, Motohiro to People adopts humor as a tool for denounce work injustices present in the daily life of Japanese society in the form of satire and social criticism. The work overload and eternal working hours have plunged Japan into a Demographic winter with Birth for soils and an aged labor market. Authorities and companies are promoting labor conciliation measures oriented not only to improve birth rate allowing families to compatible working life With the care of childrenin addition to Improve productivity promoting him employee welfare. Hista’s religion is a complaint to all this culture of toxic work that prevents people from having a life beyond work. In Xataka | In Japan there are parents named “Pikachu” to their children.

Amazon chose Catalonia to develop a pioneer project in renewable energy. Until he ran into politics

by

The Government of the Generalitat of Catalonia had on the table a decree that could mark a before and after in the deployment of renewable energy in the territory. Among its beneficiaries were one of Amazon’s most innovative projects worldwide: the installation of a self -consumption wind turbine in its logistics center of El Far d’Empordà (Girona). However, the norm has fallen a victim of the political struggle. A last minute withdrawal. Last Wednesday, the Government chaired by Salvador Illa (PSC) decided to withdraw the decree of the Plenary Seaching of the Parliament in the absence of sufficient support. As the country has collectedthe Minister of Territori, Sílvia Paneque, the decision was due to the objective of “exploring ways of a greater consensus.” But the reality is that the rejection of ERC and the Commons left the initiative without the possibility of moving forward. As detailed by Public DiarioThe Communs argued that the text should be processed as a bill to allow substantial modifications, such as strengthening local participation, passing the Sectorial Territorial PLA per to the implantation of renewable energy (plater) and shielding the public energy company. In parallel, ERC harden its position after the cooling of negotiations with the Government of Spain on tax assignments, such as IRPF management, which resulted in a vote against. The immediate consequences. The fall of the decree has put on the energy sector alert, especially companies with in progress. Such as The country has indicated in a reportAmazon expected the norm to facilitate the development of a pioneering infrastructure in its BCN4 center in Girona, where it employs more than 1,700 people and has invested more than 5,000 million euros in recent years. The project contemplates the installation of a wind turbine of 126 meters and 2.2 MW of power, in addition to photovoltaic plates and a storage battery system. With the withdrawal of the decree, the multinational faces an uncertain regulatory framework, since the local urban regulation – in this case, of the municipality governed by ERC – does not always contemplate this type of infrastructure. The decree provided for these projects of higher public interest, which would allow to overcome municipal obstacles and expedite licenses. The General Directorate of Energy had already granted administrative authorization, but now the project is exposed to possible delays. It was a decisive step. Beyond the Amazon case, such as The avant -garde has explainedthe text included technical measures such as storage regulation through electrical batteries, with 4,000 MW in pending connection projects. The expansion of the power threshold for industrial and cooperative self -consumption, from 100 kW to 500 kW. The transmission of authorizations between companies, unlocking about 800 MW in paralyzed projects. And, finally, the possibility of considering certain projects of higher public interest, overcoming administrative resistance. Model in dispute. However, the decree also aroused the rejection of citizen entities that denounce an energy model imposed from above. The Xarxa Per la Sobirania Energy (XSE) and the Xarxa Catalan per to a fair energy transition warned that the norm opened the door to expropriations of agricultural soils and cut deadlines for public participation and allegations by municipalities, according to public newspaper. For its part, the entity Renovem-us He stood out at the forefront that the extension of the industrial self -consumption threshold would have allowed to unlock “hundreds of projects of cooperatives and energy communities” that now continue in limbo. Look in September. That is the next window to relaunch the decree, although nothing guarantees that the new attempt will prosper. Meanwhile, investments cool and the perception of regulatory insecurity is consolidated. As The country explainedthe Amazon project was not only the first of its kind in Catalonia, but also the first worldwide for multinational with these characteristics. A replicable pilot, a step towards corporate energy self -sufficiency and a powerful message from Empordà to Europe. Catalonia leads in electric production, but goes to the tail in renewables. Just the 15.7% of its consumption is covered with clean sources. If the projects are still stuck, the territory will continue to lose ground compared to other regions that already advance with a firm step towards the energy transition.

The end of mathematical problems without solution

by

To the models of artificial intelligence (AI) Currently, mathematics are good. In fact, in October 2024 Goal AIthe finish line, managed to generalize Lyapunov’s function. The Russian mathematician Aleksander Lyapunov proposed the concept of the function that bears his name in 1892. His work is a very important tool in the study of dynamic systems, but mathematicians have since struggled to find a general method that allows identifying the functions of Lyapunov. And they have not been successful. However, Goal AI has had it. This is not at all the only recent success of AI models in the field of mathematics. Sergei Gukov, Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), leads a team of researchers who are looking for The way to use this technology to solve advanced mathematical problems that require thousands, millions, or even billions of steps. Currently these scientists are working on the conjecture of Andrews-Curtis, a problem of combinatorial theory of groups proposed 60 years ago. Google and Openai AI have won gold in the mathematics Olympiad Gukov and his team have not yet managed to solve the main conjecture, but with the help of AI they have achieved something important: they have refuted several families of problems related to the conjecture of Andrews-Curtis and known as counterexamples that have remained open for more than 25 years. Gukov acknowledges That current AI models have important limitations when facing very complex mathematical problems, but it has the hope that in the future this technology allows the human being to solve Mathematical Millennium Problems. The best asset that researchers have to face this challenge is to instruct AI by resorting to learning for reinforcement According to this mathematician, the best asset that researchers have to face this challenge is to instruct AI by resorting to Reinforcement learning. Anyway, something important has just happened. As we anticipate in the holder of this article, the models of Google and Openai AI They have won the gold in The International Mathematics Olympiad. Both managed to solve five of the six problems posed using general purpose reasoning models capable of processing mathematical concepts using natural language. This strategy is different from the one they have previously used the AI companies in mathematical tests. In any case, According to SCMP An expert they have consulted argues that the speed with which the AI models are being developed suggests that they are less than a year after being used to solve some mathematical problems that still have no solution. As we have seen, Sergei Gukov defends this same idea, although this last mathematician has not dared to specify the moment in which AI will begin to solve the problems in which mathematicians have been engaged decades. Who knows, perhaps the solution to the millennium problems is close. Hopefully. Image | Jesus Thomas More information | SCMP In Xataka | These two problems have baffled mathematicians for decades. A genius has solved them with a stroke
