Playing funambulism has never been easy. Keeping balance in a rope to, step by step, touring a path in which any small unexpected obstacle can make you fall. Managing air currents to stay firm, in your site, because you know that giving in to one of them can be fatal. That is the game that Mazda has been practicing. Of which has always made a flag to stay as an alternative, a company that presumes different things to conquer an audience that wants different things. Of course, with a good product that supports your decisions. Now, with the electric car, those currents are stronger than ever.

Price and launch Already available for your reserves from 43,725 euros (38,715 euros with the output discount). First deliveries in September 2025. Winds of change Everything in Mazda breathes Japanese air. The company boasts of Japanese philosophy and design, of paying attention to detail as Only Japanese obsession allows. That is why they have remained firm before the currents that They took us to eliminate physical buttons either They have been so hard with the electric carespecially those that are huge and heavy. In those Mazda has remained So far with the electric car. His MX-30 boast of rational. They are aware that an electric car, where more advantage has to get combustion is in the urban environment. Because their virtues of rolling silently, without vibrations and without transmission are more evident. They put on the market a car that fulfilled all this and that aspired to combine Its electric mechanics with lightness. A challenge that has not come to the company. Its 200 km of autonomy have been very concise for the client. The solution they have thought is as crazy as a rational: stuffing a rotating engine and offering an extended range electric. A light plug -in hybrid, perfect in electric mode for day to day and useful if we leave the city. But rationality is a value that works rarely in the car market. And in that irrationality, Mazda has found an unexpected success. In China, Where is it associated with Changan Since they entered to manufacture in the country when they were still part of Ford, they got good sales with an enormous electric Berlina, with the external identity signs of Mazda but giving ground to the demands of the Chinese client inside, such as its huge screen. Good results encouraged the company to bring the car to Europe. To try their luck with an electric Berlina 4.92 meters long, with sufficient autonomy to travel and, above all, a much more tight price than that of its rivals. If electric cars have reduced quality in the interiors to file the price to the maximum and, many, have not yet managed to enter the budget of potential customers, this Mazda 6e appeals directly to them. Assignments that hurt (but understand) We said with the new Mazda CX-5 that the company based much of its attractiveness in atmospheric engines, on having a six cylinders in diesel line with the CX-60 or not bend to the whole screen even in its most expensive cars, such as Mazda CX-80. For a Mazda enthusiast, the latter is, without a doubt, what will hit him most in this Mazda 6e. The company has brought its electric Berlina directly and has put it on the market with minimal changes. These changes have focused, directly, on the tuning of the vehicle to feel that we are facing a firm suspension vehicle, which keeps the body in place and flees from the classic flaneos of Chinese vehicles, whose customers prefer a softer touch. That rolling quality is, without a doubt, one of the best attributes of the car. Its poise and its silence collide with a firm acceleration but without stridency, that does not hit you to the seat as in the electric cars that need to demonstrate that they are fast to conquer an audience that they question their soul. But its 245 or 258 hp, depending on the chosen battery, offer a linear thrust and great security against any hurry that may arise on the road. In Sport mode I have the feeling that he wanted to spin too fine and have gone from thread. First because the exquisite touch of the direction, one of the identity of the brand in all its cars, is lost with it active, appreciating artificial. But, above all, being so direct that on the highway it can be slightly uncomfortable because to each small rectification the car feels sway to start a turn that never arrives. The concessions continue inside where what is most attracted is their flattened steering wheel and their Huge 14.6 inches screen. And its absence of tactile controls. The extremely fine and well thought out ergonomics that has defined its models so far is lost here because recreating a whole new puffer cabinet and building from scratch a software that adapts to the rest of the brand models would take, without any doubt, the final costs of the product. And, above all, it is very likely that it compromised functions that in an electric car are essential, such as the route calculator, since the model software was … Read more

Testing Tiktok’s most viral anti -manners seemed like a good idea. Until I did

by

I am one of those people who, if there are twenty people with me and a single mosquito, will chop me. They worship me, what am I going to do? I actually try to do everything I can, because in addition to the standard itch, it makes me reaction and the bites are put ON FIRE. The Tiktok algorithm must know, because they often appear to me trick videos to prevent mosquitoes from picing you, All homemade, super simple and, according to their creators, infallible. Without too much faith, I chose the three that seemed more interesting and I prepared to try them. Everything is for science. Why mosquitoes bite us First of all a little science. The main reason why a mosquito chooses a dam to chop it is the blood group. It has been proven that people with type 0 blood have More lactic acid in the skin And this attracts mosquitoes more. But this is not the only factor, so is Carbon dioxide What do we emit. Mosquito females, which are the ones that bite, can smell the CO2 60 meters away. If our body temperature is also higher, for example by making an effort, we are the perfect target. Tiktok to the rescue During the summer, in my bag you can not miss the repellent spray, it is the only thing that works for me, but of course, it is not the most pleasant in the world because it smells very strong and leaves your skin as sticky. Over the years I have tried all kinds of things Like citronela candles, smoke spirals, repellent bracelets (luck if someone pretends not to pique a mosquito carrying one of these) and I have even planted citronela at home. Let’s see if Tiktok experts save me from this cross. Trick 1: Simple and with surprise He First trick I tried is the simplest. You just have to put half a liter of cleaning vinegar in a glass boat and add a lemon cut into slices. It smells a bit strong, but it doesn’t smell bad and it is quite decorative. I put it in the kitchen, which is where more flies and mosquitoes usually enter because the window is usually open and I waited. To my surprise, the best of all. A few days later I had my verdict in the form of three new bites. It does not seem to have a lot of the mosquitoes, but to my surprise it had an unexpected benefit: I barely saw flies. In the video they say that it is effective against flies and mosquitoes, but my perception is that, to work, it only works for the first. Nor does it look like a very durable method and after a few days it smelled. It would be necessary to renew it to maintain the effect. Trick 2: The spiritual In This video We receive a soft voice that promises that the trick will end with flies, mosquitoes, mosquitoes and cockroaches. A complete. The method consists of taking a glass bowl and putting coffee poses, half a cup of flavoring, clove and a wick of a candle. Must burn for an hour And our expert ensures that we will never see an insect again. Run, take the photo that goes out! In the explanation of the recipe I already began to lose faith because it does not even explain what that of the aromatizing is, so I had to skip that step. The truth is that I cannot say whether or not it is effective because I did not get the fuse to burn more than 1 minute in a row. I tried several wicks and nothing, when I arrived at the coffee he went out (and that was dry). From what I have read in the comments, the same thing happened to many more people. Of course, it smelled very well. Trick 3: The scientist He said that one of the reasons why mosquitoes are biting us is because of the CO2 that we emit and is precisely the basis of this trick. In the video it explains us How to build A carbon dioxide trap With water, sugar, yeast and a cut plastic bottle. The result is quite horrible from the decorative point of view, but it also smells weird. I gave him a vote of trust because it is the method that had the most scientific basis. A beautiful If I have to summarize the result in a word, it would undoubtedly fail. In the time I had the trap placed Not only did they chop me mosquitoes, it was not even one. In the comments of the video there are people who had similar results and also point something striking: at no time in the video teaches us the mosquitoes that have fallen into the trap (for whatever). I threw it three days. What does work and is endorsed by science I didn’t have much faith and my suspicions have been confirmed. None of the three methods have freed me from mosquito bites, but there are remedies that free us with a much higher success rate, mainly the Industrial repellent with Icaridin and Deet As an active substance. The DEET is the most common ingredient in the repellent spray. With a 20%concentration, it is effective in protecting us for 5 hours. The bad thing is that It has greater toxicity. He IR3535 It is a bit softer and equally effective against some mosquito species, although it would not be so much against others that transport dangerous diseases. There are also natural alternatives such as Essential oils of mint, basil or citronella that are much more respectful of the skin, the problem is that the softer, less effectiveness. Putting chemical substances on my skin is not excited, but they are the only thing that I am not going to end up bitter by itching. In addition, we must not forget that Mosquitoes are considered the deadliest animal that … Read more

They are the players who steal their iconic towels. And with impudence

by

Wimbledon is tradition. The British tournament that started in 1877 has become one of the great events of world sport and this year introduced a technological novelty: replace line judges for an AI. It is a change that has already brought controversybut there is something that does not change is that players love to steal Wimbledon towels. So much that it has gone from being a headache for the tournament with simple resignation. And the funniest thing is that players have no qualms about detailing their ‘tricks’ to get the coveted loot. Specials? We might think that a towel is nothing with the more than 53 million pounds that are They will distribute This year during the competition, with three million only for the individual and female individual winners. But the towels, protagonists of fights in the stands, are also part of that loot that players want. The two designs this year They are “normal” towels. Manufactured by the British company Christy for 38 years, they measure 133 x 70 centimeters, weigh 500 grams and are made completely cotton. The male towels are always the same, with the “butter” letters and a purple and green design. The female were changing every season (although recently That is over and everyone receives the same) and a cult has been aroused around these towels, which even They announce His designs before tournaments. Bite in towels. As each element of a sport, especially if used by the star you have gone to see, a towel can become a Collection objectlike a ball or a doll. However, we are not talking about the towels being popular only among fans: the real problem of the tournament is with the players. How far? As we read in The Timesthe tournament had about 7,000 towels in stock this year with a single purpose: that they were a tool for players. Until last Thursday, when only the first rounds of the competition had been played, they had already distributed 2,799 towels. The players know that they must return them (not mandatory, but they will be asked for) before going to the locker room at the end of the game, and the All England Club – those responsible for the event – usually do it, but of those 2,799 distributed, only 828 returned to where they should. Modus operandi. The question is how they do it with all the cameras pointing and knowing that the theft of towels is A controversy Internal that the tournament has been dragging for years. The short answer is that the big stars, directly, do not care that the cameras point them. In fact, some tell how several dozens of towels get during their career. At the beginning of the game, each player receives two towels and, if the games lengthen and sweat more, or if it begins to rain, they can ask for an additional chair judge. They are extremely conservative numbers of the tournament because reality is very different. As we read in BBCDjokovic is one of those proper names. He says that, as soon as the game begins, one gets into the racket bag. And, in the middle of the meeting, ask for another due to sweat. Another way is that of Tracy Austin, who said he takes advantage of the rain stops to get some extra and that he usually ends four at the end of the game. So that? For what you are thinking: give it away To friends and family because, as Austin said, it is not enough to buy one of the memories store (they sell the same for 60 euros and that also sells your own Christy Online), it must be the authentic players. And there is no request for requests because it depends on the chair judge and it would be rare for him to refuse. In the end, the one that they use most is that towel with ice inside The big blow. Here are those who have more or less great collections. Djokovic has a good trousseau to give away and Serena Williams also commented on BBC that has towels since 1997 of both women and men. Rafa Nadal is another of the players that each game can end a good booty of towels. The amount of sweat depends on each person and there are times when even We have seen Nadal loading with a garbage bag full of these objects. According to the Official numbersare returned between 15% and 20% of the towels each championship and, although Wimbledon not short of funds, it is estimated that this habit of the players generates losses of $ 160,000. With the greats it is a “joke.” With the “little” no. It seems that the All England Club does not put too much effort to recover the towels of the stars, but in Wimbledon there are also minors who are emerging and there they have taken measures. If you have seen a Wimbledon game in which a white towel is distributed, it is because it is one of the destined to the Junior tournaments and the tennis players invited by the championship. They are given a Wimbledon officer of that year, but the second is white, without any distinctive and, of course, much less glamorous because if you give it to Wimbledon or anywhere else. Resignation. What All England Club is clear is that they will not be chasing anyone. They already ask for the towels back educated, but in this year’s edition, Winston Sedgwick, of the logistics team of the event, said in The Times that players know perfectly that they give towels and that there is no limit. “We used to expect them to return them, that’s why we asked them to try to recover them, but that will no longer be done.” “It’s like when you’re going on vacation and you bring back a souvenir home,” says Sedgwick with resignation. And what I am clear is that I am going to look much … Read more

by

Support signed by Horacio Pagani are a guarantee of power, engineering and the more exclusive design. Therefore, to have a special edition of any of their cars in the garage, more than an investmentit is a treasure within the reach of very few. Specifically, in the case of Huayra Codalunga Speedsterwill be only available to 10 millionaires. A toast to classical elegance Pagani has just presented a Very limited edition from its hyperdeportivo Huayra Codalunga that now arrives in convertible version. According to the manufacturerthis version “is inspired by the Italian sportsmen of the 50s and 60s”, joining the elegance of luxury cars of classic cutting, with the Las Barquetas Sports Style of inherent competition throughout the Huayra range. The Huayra Codalunga Speedster represents the modern reinterpretation of classic sports, combining the elegance and aerodynamics that the “long tail” feature that characterizes the Codalung versions that proposed the Coupé versions maintaining the four central exhaust pipes that identify all the pagani. This new edition of Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster maintains the elongated and ascending rear feature From the previous Codalunga, but add a removable roof. When adopting its convertible configuration, the Speedster leaves the antivuelco bars after the seats and all the luxury that houses inside. The interior of this hyperdeportivo is plagued by winks to the Sports cars of the 60sfrom the exposed gear lever, through the dashboard rivets or the disposal of the analogical clocks and analogical accounting. The exclusivity of their finishes, with hand -sewn fabric inserts by Pagani artisans, become more evident when they are exposed with the ceiling collected. At the same time, sports seats, covered by a combination of leather worked and handless with the same fabric that covers part of the dashboard, looks a futuristic design that connects it with what is expected of a 2025 car. Limited production for select pockets Under the hood, Huayra Codalunga Speedster sets a 6-liter V12 engine with double turbo of Mercedes-Amg origin like the one that mounts the Pagani Utopia Roadster.

The most common and insecure passwords in the world, exhibited in a graphic developer

by

Passwords They are a headacheand so it is just as it should be. We have more and more applications that require a password, something fundamental because in many we have associated payment data, but the Statistics evidence that, as much as there is Key managers And security gaps, we still do not give them the importance they deserve. In fact, every year ‘12345’ remains the most used password. It is not the only password that can be burst in seconds, but that we insist on continuing to use. And this graphic exposes it perfectly. Usual suspects. Prepared by Visual Capitalist With the data of NordPassin the upper graph we have the 25 most common passwords worldwide for 2024. To anyone’s surprise, ‘12345’ is the most popular, used more than three million times (according to the accounts of this service, so it can be many more), but it is accompanied by some consecutive numerical series a little longer, by the classic ‘password’ or by the first row of the keyboard, with more or a shorter length, but always left, but always left, but always left, but always left, with a length right. Passwords such as ‘Dragon’, ‘Monkey’ or ‘Iloveyou’ also appear, or the classic ‘Secret’. There are some that combine numbers and letters that, according to recommendations, give more strength to the key, but are such simple combinations that they do not make a difference in security. Burst in a second. Where do these passwords come from? Precisely, of a 2.5 TB database (which is said soon) that Nordass analyzed because they were credentials exposed in different security gaps. And beyond the number of times these unsafe passwords appear, what attracts attention is the time someone would take to burst them. You don’t have to be hacker to skip those passwords, and NordPass points that 25 can skip in less than a second. Of the most used, you have to go to the 28th place with ‘Target123’ to see that it would take nine seconds to crack it, ‘Tinkle’ would take two minutes and the first “safer” (Note the quotes) would be ‘Zag12WSX’, which would have been more or less and that it came out more than 90,000 times in different data leakers. Curiosity: Do not use Pokemon ‘like 45,776 people,’ Starwars’ as 34,427 or ‘Batman’ as another 24,638 people exposed because they are also bursting in less than a second. Spain and Latam without getting out of the line. Those are the most used worldwide, but something curious, and useful, is that we can filter through countries. If we look at Spain, ‘123456’, ‘123456789’ and 12345678 ‘are the three most used, but’ Spain ‘is the fourth and is somewhat safer. It would barely take that password that appeared 7,349 times in data filtration. ‘Spain’ would also take a couple of minutes and then there are some curious such as ‘Barcelona’ or ‘Alejandro’. Interestingly, if you have ‘Cristina’ as a password, it would take three hours to skip it. In Mexico the popular are identical to those of the rest of the world, but we have more insecure variety such as ‘Pokemon’, ‘Pass’, ‘Alejandro’, ‘America’, ‘Hello’ or ‘Carlos’. In Chile and Colombia, ‘Chile’ and ‘Colombia’ are among the most popular. In general, the list is quite curious, with “safe” passwords such as ‘111222Tianya’ in China or ‘Tkideltki’ in Taiwan, taking the Crackers one day to skip both. And return to recommendations. Six of the ten most used passwords are purely numerical and with extremely predictable patterns. Precisely, the trick to create a good password It is to use numbers, symbols and capital letters and lowercase with at least 12 characters. To do this, we have at our disposal programs that generate and manage these passwordsbut we can also take precautions changing the keys to timeuse Two -step verification methods whenever possible and take the habit of not reusing passwords.

The rise of male TCA

by

Toni Mejías, singer of the Los Chikos del Corn group, climbed the stage every night carrying a bigger problem than any tour: counting calories, dodging meals, obsessing his reflection. While the public chanted his lyrics, he freed an internal battle that nobody saw. For a long time, not even he knew how to name him. Until he did and then wrote Hungera book in which He recounts his experience with an eating disorder that seemed not to fit with his identity: man, rapper, strong. But it was. Because nobody is safe. Its history is no exception, but the symptom of a much more widespread and opaque problem. More and more men fall into food dynamics marked by control, guilt or rigidity. They do it in silence, because male hunger is almost never recognized. And much less is named. For decades, eating disorders seemed to be an exclusive phenomenon of female gender. At the end of the 90s, studies barely registered between 5% and 10% of male cases in specialized clinics. However, more recent research They have begun to question that figure: By applying diagnostic criteria sensitive to the most common concerns in men – as obsession with muscles or physical performance – it has been observed that real prevalence could reach 7% and equate to that of women. Everything indicates that the number of cases has been underestimated for years by stigma, lack of consciousness and traditional clinical bias. Also, like Explain to this medium The nutritionist specialized in TCA, Nuria Esteve: “Many times the symptoms in them are presented differently, they are more invisible, and there is also much more stigma. They do not tell it, they do not identify it as a problem, or they are late for consultation.” Particularly, in their consultation, many men do not say “I have anxiety to eat” or “I cannot stop thinking about my body”, but come for other reasons: heavy digestions, lack of energy, bodily recomposition. What is under it takes to leave. To this is added the male silence. “Men have a hard time asking for help because they feel that makes them weak. If they have no references to talk about this, if they do not see that others have passed it, it is much more difficult to recognize what happens to them,” points for this medium The psychologist specialized in TCA, Sara Bolo. For decades, clinical and social discourse on eating disorders has been focused on young, thin and white women. The masculine was out of the map. “Culture has told us that emotional suffering is feminine. That men should not have complexes or cry. If they control their body, their diet, their routine, they are being disciplined. They are not sick,” adds Bolo. The perfect storm is formed With the rise of social networks, a new cult of the male body has been consolidated, driven by Fitness influencers and a multimillionaire industry of supplements. The gym has become not only a training space, but an identity scenario where to demonstrate control, effort and masculinity. Products like the Powder proteinthe presses or Creatine —What popularity has grown exponentially – they are presented as essential tools to achieve an idealized physicist, often unattainable. This phenomenon known as Chic protein Convert the muscle In a successful and self -esteem brand, pushing many young men to adopt strict, obsessive and medicalized routines without professional supervision. “Many come to consultation with hyperproteic diets, very low in carbohydrates, or using supplements without supervision. They want to gain muscle mass or lose fat quickly, but they end up falling into the caloric restriction, the oversight or constant guilt,” Esteve details. This would not be a problem if a line was not crossed: “that of the negative impact on mental health, in the relationship with food, in social life,” the nutritionist clarifies. When food becomes a calculation, a punishment, an obstacle to sharing with others, we are no longer talking about self -care, but of dysfunction. In the midst of all this, other ways of being a man emerge. Icons like Pedro Pascal They have been indicated as examples of a more affective, vulnerable, real masculinity. And yet, it still costs to break the mandate of the strong, autonomous man, who does not need help. “There are boys who tell you that they can only eat if they are going to train later. Or they feel guilty if one day the gym skip. That is not seen as a symptom, but as willpower,” explains Bolo. “But they are actually trapped in a rigid system that prevents them from living with freedom.” The impossibility of naming emotions, saying “This hurts”, “This scares me”, “This surpasses me”, is one of the reasons why the TCA advances silently among many men. The food becomes the only territory where some control is felt. In men, TCAs usually occur differently: more focused on the increase in muscle mass, fat reduction or physical performance improvement. “There is a lot warns Esteve. Phrases like “I have to eat more protein to not lose muscle” or “I feel guilty because I ate that and I didn’t train” they are key clues. So is social isolation: reject plans, avoid group meals, or hide the discomfort. “Many times the TCA is disguised as discipline, and that makes it more difficult to detect. Behind there are usually repressed emotions: sadness, guilt, fear of failure, insecurity, low self -esteem. The body becomes a battlefield,” Bolo details. And on top of that there are more complex realities that are barely mentioned and that strongly crosses this problem: that of trans men. “Many socialized as women, and their body was interpreted from the outside as something that did not belong to them,” says the psychologist. The development of female secondary sexual characters, such as breasts or hips, can generate rejection and lead to extreme restriction as a form of control. “In these cases, gender dysmorphia is intertwined with the TCA, and it is essential to address it with … Read more

Lyft, closer to landing in Europe. The platform has taken a key step to buy Freeow from BMW and Mercedes

by

Lyft wants to enter Europe and has begun to move. The company has notified the National Commission of Markets and the Competition the purchase of Freeow, the taxi app that until now shared BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The operation, valued at 175 million euros It represents a key movement: if completed, it will allow Lyft to deploy in more than 150 European cities, including Madrid, Berlin and London. Instead of building a network in Europe, it is committed to acquiring a platform that already operates in some of the most important markets on the continent. Freeow not only has a consolidated presence in key cities: it also has local agreements, active fleets and an approach that fits the European ecosystem, more regulated than the American. The operation would allow Lyft to enter with a base already made. The operation is not closed. On July 9, Lyft officially notified the purchase from the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC). With that step the initial phase of the regulatory process in Spain is activated: the agency now has a month to pronounce. If you consider that the operation needs a more detailed analysis, a second phase will be opened that could be lengthened between three and four months, As Europa Press collects. Only after overcoming this process the transaction could be completed. For users, nothing changes for now. But there are clear promises. Both Lyft and Freeow have confirmed that, for the moment, there will be no changes in the experience of use. The app will continue to function as until now. However, in the medium term, improvements such as more consistent prices, faster vehicles and new functions are expected. They are future objectives, even without a concrete date, but that are already in the road map of both companies. The Integration of Freeow would allow him to significantly expand his scope, both in number of cities and in potential volume of users. According to its internal estimates, the total market to which it aspires would reach more than 300,000 million annual journeys, with an expected increase in gross reserves of 1,000 million euros. Freeow does not disappear: he maintains his team, his brand and his local DNA. The agreement contemplates that Freeow retains its current structure. There will be no mergers or rebranding: the brand will remain active and directed by the same team. That continuity is part of the strategic value of the operation, since it allows Lyft to access a consolidated network without altering its internal operation. An agreement that meets two different, but complementary cultures. Lyft arrives with an experience focused on digital platforms and large volume management. Freeow brings the knowledge of the land: relations with fleets, authorities and operators in each city. Both companies assure that it is not an absorption, but a collaboration that aspires to climb what already works, without losing local identity.

The most experienced developers hoped to improve their productivity with AI. A study showed just the opposite

by

What happens when you give an advanced artificial intelligence platform to a group of expert developers and ask them to work on tasks that they know in detail? The logical thing would be to wait a productivity jump, a great combination between experience human and technological assistance. The tools are there, the flows are learned, the learning curve is not an obstacle. But it was not so. What happened even surprised the authors of the study, according to Reuters: AI did not improve the results. He got them worse. And he did it in such a subtle way that not even the developers themselves realized. The report does not talk about critical failures or serious mistakes, but the effect was clear: the work became slower. Slower than it would have been without artificial intelligence in between. More does not always mean more productivity Before starting, everyone agreed on something: using artificial intelligence was going to save them time. In fact, they estimated that their tasks would finish 24 % faster. It was a reasonable expectation, based on their experience and how these tools were presented. And when they ended, they were still convinced of having achieved it: their estimate was that They had been 20 % faster. In his own words, AI had allowed them to advance without blockages, without interruptions, with a more agile workflow. But not. Actually, they had taken longer. A lot more. The general average of the group was a 19 % increase in total time during the test carried out by Metr. It is not a minor difference. And it is even more striking if one takes into account that we talk about tasks that they themselves had defined as relevant, useful and realistic: bugs correction, new functionalities, refactors. They were not exercises designed to test the AI, but real work, of the one that is done every day in any mature project. The difference was so great that he left even words even to those responsible for the study. The developers were not novice or learning on the fly. They had been working on those same projects for years, They knew the repositories in detailThey knew what was behind each file and each function. They were in their field. And, yet, the tools of AI did not facilitate work. They complicated it. Part of the explanation is how these platforms work. The suggestions they offered were not entirely incorrect, but imprecise. They were often well aimed, but required adjustments. And those adjustments, instead of saving time, elongated it. Check, correct, check. Start over. What promised to be an aid became a more intermediate process: an additional layer between thought and the solution. The feeling of fluidity was misleading. They started with a base, yes, but that base rarely served as is. You had to crumble itunderstand what the model had wanted to say, compare with what already existed and rebuild what is necessary. As if each suggestion came with an invisible asterisk. A non -valid line of default code. The illusion of progress faster was held until the time came to compile, try or make a serious review of the code generated. And yet, many of the participants continue to use those same tools in their day to day. Not because they save them time, but because they do the most bearable job. In the study they mainly used cursor, a platform that integrates advanced language models such as Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnetand that allows writing, completing and reviewing code directly from the development environment. Cursor does not do everything for you, but he accompanies you. That company, even when it is not entirely efficient, can make programming less exhausting. The AI ​​converts the effort to program in something more similar to being an orchestra director that to build everything from scratch with a solid knowledge base. We are already seeing it with the phenomenon Vibe Coding. In the midst of this scenario we have seen companies They cut development equipment for the possibilities offered by AI, although Some have had returned on their steps. AI is a valuable tool, but it doesn’t help everyone equally.

We thought that interstellar travelers were impossible to find current technology. Three have already been discovered

by

Less than a decade ago, the idea of ​​detecting an object of another solar system through our neighborhood was science fiction material. Astronomers were clear that they existed, but believed that our chances of detecting them They were practically null due to the limitations of current technology. In 2017, everything changed. First appeared 1i/ʻoumuamua. An object that baffled astronomers. Not only because it was the first interstellar object discovered in our solar system, but because its nature was and remains a mystery. With A strange formas elongated as a cigar or flat as an album, and a size of just 100 or 200 meters, it happened fleetingly leaving more questions than answers. Was it a comet, an asteroid or something completely new? The debate continues while moving away from us. Then 2i/Borisov was discovered. When we still wondered if we would see something similar in our lives, the answer came alone. In 2019, astronomers They detected a second object of another star system That was unequivocally a kite, somewhat larger than its predecessor (about 400-500 meters) and with a very different trajectory. Borisov confirmed that ‘Oumuamua had not been an anomaly. Interstellar visitors were real and we are able to find them. And to confirm it, 3I/Atlas arrives. On July 1, 2025, the Telescopes of the Atlas Network in Chile detected the third known interstellar object. After confirming your hyperbolic trajectory, He was officially baptized as 3i/Atlas. It is a real giant compared to the previous two, and marks a before and after in the study of these bodies. Like Borisov, it shows a clear comment activity, with a comma and a tail that lengthens as it approaches the sun. Therefore, it is a kite. But it is much bigger. Although the measurements are refining, initial estimates place their diameter between 5 and 20 kilometers. A colossal size that makes it much easier to study. A giant who will pass through Mars. 3i/Atlas is incredibly fast. It moves at an exhaust speed of about 58-60 km/s with respect to the Sun. much faster than ‘oumuamua (26 km/s) and Borisov (32 km/s). His career is also unique. It will reach its closest point to the Sun (its perihelium) on October 29, passing between the orbits of Mars and the Earth. Although at that time our planet will be on the other side of the sun, which will prevent its direct observation, it will be only 31.4 million kilometers from Mars on October 3. This opens a fascinating opportunity: that some of the probes that orbit the red planet, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, can capture images of the interstellar traveler. Three important findings. Each of these objects is a time capsule from another solar system. All planets, asteroids and comets of our system share a common origin, but these visitors are authentic outsiders. They contain clues about the formation and composition of worlds that orbit other stars. Studying them is like receiving a geological sample from a corner of the galaxy that would take millennia to visit. Until now, we could only observe his fleeting step. But this is about to change. ESA is already preparing THE MISSION INTERPECTORwhose launch is scheduled for 2029. The idea is ingenious: the probe will not have a predefined objective, but will “park” at a point in Lagrange (L2) waiting for a pristine kite of a long period or, with some lucky, a new interstellar visitor to be within its reach. It would be the first rapid response mission to intercept one of these mysterious objects. In less than ten years we have not known if they existed to actively plan how to send a ship to touch them. With new generation observatories such as Vera Rubin, which is expected to find dozens of them in the next decade, we are entering a new era of astronomy. The universe sometimes brings us its secrets at home. Image | The interstellar comet 3i/Atlas (ESA) In Xataka | There is a single opportunity in 11,000 years of reaching the planet Sedna.
