Someone wondered what would happen if we allowed all athletes to do. The result is already here: improved games

by

“Imagine that a 60 -year -old beat the Usain Bolt world record.” Sounds crazy, but that is the phrase that left last year during An interview with The Guardian Aron d´souza, the founder, president and visible face of Enhanced. His words matter because D´Souza is organizing, with the support of some outstanding investors, the Improved games (Enhancend Games), a sports competition that will open the door for your athletes to dop and consume drugs prohibited by sports federations. The objective is the one that D´Souza commented: to knock down barriers and leave behind the brands of Usain Bolt or other apparently unbeatable plusmarks on the tracks. The idea, of course, has generated a huge stir and has already led to international experts and agencies to alert of its dangers. Las Vegas, May 2026. That is the city and the date on which improved games want to make their great start. In An act held this week at Resort World Las Vegas, D´Souza and his team announced that the first competition open to the consumption of drugs vetoed by the sports federations will be held next year, between May 21 and 26in “The city of sin.” More specifically, in a complex built for tests within the Resorts world las vegas With clues and pool. A for world records. There the athletes who participate in the tournament will compete in three disciplines: swimming, athletics and lostfilia, with different categories in each. For that purpose, the organizers will prepare a 50 -meter pool with four lanes, a six -lane speed track, a special scenario for weightlifting and something so (or even more important): A succulent list of metallic awards. In addition to the premiums for participating, Enhanced will offer a reward of $ 500,000 per proof, of which 250,000 will go to the pocket of the first classified. If any of the athletes hit a world record in the “definitive tests” (100 meters smooth and 50 m free) will also pocket a gratification of one million dollars. The objective is evident: spray plusmarks. For now and to open appetite, the organizers They assure that one of its swimmers has already managed to overcome a 2009 record. The keyword: doping. What defines improved games is not who, where and when they organize, but how they raise the tests. Its great hallmark is that they open the door to the use of drugs or treatments vetoed in official competitions. “Unlike traditional sports agencies, Enhanced does not prohibit substances that improve performance, but also bring them to light, with total transparency, safety and medical supervision,” Underline. Throughout the last months the organizers They have stressed that treatments will not be administered “in any way” and athletes will have to pass “thorough medical recognitions.” In The same report of The Guardian in which D´Souza talked about breaking Bolt’s records even states that organizers will not accept illegal substances and their drugs must have been legally prescribed. Of course, compliance with the standards seems to depend on the collaboration of athletes. “Sport stagnated”. Although the appointment has generated A considerable controversythe organizers have loaded it as an epic and insist that their goal is to open horizons. “We live in a world transformed by science, from vaccines to AI. But sport has stagnated. Until today. We are not updating the regulation, we are rewriting it,” claims D´Souza. Enhanced’s website includes other ideas Roundsuch as “superhumanity” or “future of sport.” “We are creating a new category of excellence, a world where drugs to improve performance are used safely, open and supervised.” “In 1896 Baron Pierre de Coubertin reinvented the old Olympic Games for his time, an era of nationalisms,” Reflect. “Now we are reinventing the Olympic Games again … to create a completely new formula, not sport, but of humanity.” Apart ideas, the truth is that the organization He has recognized who hopes to enter millions of dollars for the issuance rights and in The same statement in which he informs of the first improved games slides that plans to launch at the end of this summer a company dedicated to “improved performance products”. “Dangerous, not very ethical and harmful”. Not everyone shares the enthusiasm of D´Souza and his team. On the contrary. Since Enhanced revealed his plans and especially after the confirmation of his first “games”, there have been few voices that have risen to pronounce against the idea. This week the Sport Australia Athlete Advisory Group He warned that “the normalization” of drugs to improve performance “promotes doping as entertainment, putting athletes at risk, and devalues ​​the efforts of those who choose to compete clean.” For the organism, the concept of improved games is “dangerous, not very ethical and harmful.” And it is not the most resounding opinion about it. Travis Tygart, Executive Director of the US Anti -Doping Agency, He thinks that the initiative is “a dangerous clown show, not really sport” and the world anti -doping agency speaks of “dangerous and irresponsible project.” Others They pull irony And they have baptized the Enhanced Games of “steroid Olympics.” An appointment, several names. If the improved games have achieved so much impact is not only because of their challenging and controversial approach. To its visibility has helped (and much) that Enhanced has managed to embark in the initiative some prominent names of the world of finance and sport. Among the first figure Peter Thievel either Donald Trump Jr. Among the second, the Australian swimmer James Magnussentwice world champion of 100 m free. And to him others have joined such as the Ukrainian plusmarchist Andrii Govorov or the Bulgarian Josif Miladinov, European silver in 100 butterfly. One of the names that have sounded the most in recent days has been however that of Greek Olympic swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev, who According to Enhanced He has already managed to break the world record of 50 m free with a mark of 20.89 seconds, which would exceed the one achieved in 2009 by Cesar Cielo. The BBC points out that, … Read more

There are accusations of threats and blackmail to specialized media

by

Nvidia launched its new RTX 5060 graphics cards on May 19, ”he had presented A month before-. On paper the proposal was interesting: despite being more modest, they have the DLSS 4 technology And they are the most affordable of the family. If your budget is adjusted, they could be an interesting option. But to be sure, the ideal is to wait for specialized media to analyze these cards and throw their conclusions. And that was the beginning of a launch as controversial as disastrous. Oh, what coincidence. Curiously, Nvidia chose that day as a release date knowing that most experts would be in the most important event of the year for this sector: the Computex fair in Taiwan. That was much more difficult for these analysts to properly analyze the product if the company sent them the evaluation samples. Something that, by the way, did not happen, as they explained a month ago On the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channelone of the best known in this area. No controllers. As they point out In The Vergeeven if the experts had had cards before the event, Nvidia had the perfect way to prevent their analysis from May 19. The company would only have to refuse to provide the controllers (drivers) of the graphics, without which they do not work perfectly, especially when playing. You can pass the tests, but only the ones we tell you. Not happy with that, in Nvidia they sent some RTX 5060 to some media and provided them with preliminary controllers. But they did it with one condition: they could only try five concrete games at 1080p resolution, with other specific parameters and only comparing them with two other graphs (3060 and 2050 Super) so that the 5060 was winning. And threats. In The Verge they highlight how in some cases Nvidia threatened to veto access to future releases if they did not make unequal comparisons in which the AI ​​that gives access to multi frame generation technology (MFG) was activated in the 5060 but not available in its competitors so that the difference was even more remarkable. War with YouTubers. Nvidia even decided to threaten Gamersnexus to cut future access to her releases. We are talking about one of the best known and most known YouTube channels in the world in the field of hardware analysis for PC, and that has precisely become famous for report This type of situations In the past. Steve Burke, its creator, explained in a recent video how communication with those responsible for Nvidia was. He even recorded the conversation and commented on the video “Nvidia, I am prepared to publish it (the audio)” if necessary. A terrible situation. Companies have perfect right not to send their products evaluation samples and launch them directly to the market, but this way of trying to control the narrative and the message is clearly worrying. The media will end up having the same access to him as the rest of the users, but the risk here is reputational: if Nvidia does not send the cards to the analysts and is doing this type of movements, it is because the graphs are probably not as interesting as they try to see. And if that happens, the company ends up taking a reputational blow that is added to that of the entire RTX 5000 family, which is a modest generational leap – we saw it With our analysis of the RTX 5080 and 5090– Except in the event that we can take advantage of DLSS4 technology, which is not always possible. The worst thing is that they probably do not compensate. Since then, independent analysis has appeared. The data of Techspot They reveal that this card is essential Of course the Imminent AMD RX 9060 XT that will be launched in June. Nvidia must reconsider. The gamer market has long since seems to be in the background for the companywhich has become One of the most valuable of the world thanks to its ia chips. The problem is not that your Gamers disappointment graphics cards are that they try to hide or disguise reality with this type of measurement. It is worrying for a company with such resources and potential, and that makes its current domain of this market in danger. AMD offers increasingly striking alternativese Intel seems to have been right With their proposals, even if they are dedicated to less ambitious gamers. What does Nvidia say. In Xataka we have contacted those responsible for the company. We will update this topic if we receive data and clarifications from it. In Xataka | If Nvidia lived only from PC GPUs, she would be about to die of success. And US tariffs don’t help

They are algebra courses and programming tutorials

by

Pornhub is known worldwide as a video of adult video, but in recent years it is being seen educational material among its pornographic content: algebra classes, mathematics tutorials, Educational Videos on Programming, EXPLAINERS about neuronal networks … Why Pornhub? And not youtube? What does this channel have to attract the disseminators? CHANGHSU. The case that was first announced is that of this Taiwanese mathematics professor 34 years old that gives classes (in Chinese) of advanced mathematics. He has published more than 200 educational videos on the platform and has made public In interviews How much it earns with them: more than $ 250,000 a year. In this case it is its only content, but there are others more relevant for its intermediate state between the educational and the erotic Zara Dar. This userfor example, he caught attention with this type of content because it is also an erotic model that has developed his career in Onlyfans and that in Pornhub, however, he has opted for videos with the little erotic titles of ‘What is a loss function in automatic learning?‘ either ‘What is a convex function? – Decrease in gradient part 1‘. Although everyone is around 50,000 visits, they have some that exceed 350,000. Counted to 404Media That your success may be due to the contrast between your videos and the rest of the page (obviously, take a look at your main page, although your videos are safe, it is already extremely NSFW for everything that surrounds them). Why Pornhub. The question is why the preference for this platform for this type of content is due, and according to Changhsu, it is very simple. Pornhub is one of the most visited websites in the world, with more than 100 million visits per day. This great audience presents a unique opportunity for creators of educational content to reach a much broader audience than on traditional platforms. And since the platform is not segmented by the usual thematic interests, the content can reach users who would not otherwise seek tutorials or classes. Less restrictions. But there is more: Pornhub does not put any type of restrictions on these contents, which of course would not make sense in terms of censorship, but this benefits them, since It does not make them fall victims of restrictive algorithmswhat is also known as “Filter bubbles“, as would happen on platforms such as YouTube, prone to show less specialized content. In this way, creators can experiment with formats and have no need to enter the games to study the algorithm to” convince you “to show them more spectators. Brutal shock. According to Changhsuthe contrast to what the Pornhub visitor expects to be essential: there is a deliberate break of social norms and expectations. The appearance of videos of mathematics and science defies these spectatives and resignifies the meaning of virtual space, since it is inevitable to ask: Why should education be restricted to “formal” platforms? They are not the only ones. Although these are the most famous cases, there is a whole subculture of “safe” videos in Pornhub. They are almost metalinguistic games with expectations and go beyond the merely educational. For example, gameplays of ‘Minecraft’, fetish videos without nudes, conventional interviews with porn actresses, non -erotic parodies using pornographic terms such as hook … unfortunately, many of them were eliminated when The rules of use changed and 10 million videos of unregistered users were eliminated. In that raid With legitimate intentions (Pursuing child pornography), unfortunately, one of the most curiously ironic phenomena of modern Internet fell.

Spacex has been scratching his head for 11 weeks to relaunch Starship. Now he finally has green light to fly again

by

After two consecutive explosions At the beginning of the year, Spacex has received permission from the US government for the ninth Starship test flight, which has just been announced for the night of Tuesday, May 27. The company has detailed the changes in the ship and the causes of the previous failure. To the third is the defeated? Starbase technicians have been working frantically to implement improvements in the prototype that will fly in the ninth proof mission of the Starship program. This attempt comes after two consecutive failures of a new version of the ship, known as Starship Block 2. Spacex has completed countless earth tests. After advancing in the investigation of the previous flight and with the authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in hand, everything is ready for the world’s largest rocket to surf the skies again. If there are no setbacks, the launch window will open on Tuesday, May 27 at 18:30, local time of Texas (01:30 in the morning of Wednesday 28 on Spanish peninsular hours). Problem solved. In the two previous flights, which took place in January and March, Starship had a premature and explosive ending: the upper stage engines went out ahead, the ship lost control and ended up disintegrating itself into the upper atmosphere, spreading their remains near the Bahamas and the Turkish Islands and Caicos. A hard blow for Spacex, which had requested permission for 25 Starship test flights per year. The January flight investigation, supervised by the FAA, determined that the flight failure had originated from a liquid oxygen escape and the consequent fire in the ship’s motor compartment, caused by more intense vibrations than expected. Although Spacex made adjustments for the March flight, the ship failed again, giving rise to endless rumors about a design error In Starship version 2, slightly higher and with a new fuel feed system. The findings of the investigation, newly publishedThey reveal that the second incident was not related to the first, and that the vibrations problem had been solved before flight 8. What failed on the flight. According to the March flight investigation, supervised by the FAA, the most likely cause of the loss of the ship was a hardware failure in one of its three central raptor engines. The ruling caused an accidental mixture and ignition, which caused an explosion. Immediately after the explosion, the other two central engines and a vacuum raptor engine went out, causing Starship to lose control again. Spacex believes that the flight termination system was activated after he lost communications with the ship, ensuring its disintegration. The improvements. Since the vibrations problem had already been solved with the implemented mitigations for flight 8, Spacex has now focused on the upper stage of the upper Starship stage, which have received reinforcements in key joints, a new system of nitrogen purge and improvements in the propellente drainage system. It is a temporary solution that will cease to be necessary after the introduction of the raptor 3 engine, which has a more minimalist design with the integration of several components and includes reliability improvements to address this type of failures. Anyway, the FAA takes for good changes in the Raptor 2, highlighting that Spacex “has satisfactorily approached the causes of the mishap of flight 8”. Tuning. A few days ago, the company successfully completed a long -lasting static ignition of the six starship 35 engines, the prototype that it will use in the ninth flight. This test has been an important stumbling block for flight 9 because the ship needed several attempts to complete it. In a first attempt in early May, one of the engines issued a strong flash and part of its material came out. After the successful ignition, the Ship 35 returned to production facilities for final preparations; Presumably, the load of Starlink satellites and touch -up models in their thermal shield. How will flight 9 be. The flight profile of the next week will be very similar to that of failed attempts, but with several important milestones. The super heavy rocket that will boost the ship, the booster 14, will be The first to be reused After its previous January flight, in which it rose to the edge of the space, separated from the Starship ship and returned to the launch platform to be trapped in the air through its mechanical arms. 29 of the 33 propeller engines are “second -hand”, although they were performed exhaustive inspections and only one -use components were replaced (such as the ablative thermal shield). Of course, this time it will not be recovered: the booster 14 will maneuver directly on the sea to Try a flight profile More risky, with a quick turn after the separation of stages, a more aggressive angle in the descent and a deliberately off motor in the spareness maneuver. As for the Starship 35. The ship, on the other hand, will reach more than 160 kilometers of altitude and will demonstrate for the first time the load deployment, launching eight Starlink simulators with its system inspired by the caramels dispensers of fish. An hour after takeoff, it will resent the Indian Ocean to perform controlled ametering. Beyond overcoming the above problems, one of the pending objectives is to prove the improved thermal shield of the Starship Block 2, which will be crucial to reuse the ship. The previous failures prevented the rocket from reaching the point where this shield comes into play: the reentry. Spacex has eliminated a significant number of thermal tiles to test vulnerable areas. On flight 9 will try new metal tiles (One of them with active refrigeration) and new capture accessories for future landings. The new alerons of the ship will also be tested during the reentry. The planes will be further this time. Despite the vote of confidence in Spacex, FAA has imposed some conditions, as the expansion of aerial exclusion zonesboth in the United States and in other countries. The danger zone for aircraft will be extended … Read more

The autonomous driving was the great absent in the presentation of the Xiaomi Yu7 and there is a reason: the Chinese government

by

May 22 will be a day for the particular story of Xiaomi as a brand. Taking advantage of its fifteenth anniversary, the company celebrated an event in which He made various ads But, above all, he emphasized two new products: an own chip and its second electric car, the Xioami Yu7. The presentation of Second Xiaomi electric car And his first SUV had everything we expected. The force deployment was total. The company confirmed that a year after launching its first car to the market, almost 300,000 vehicles have already put on the street. He was followed by a presentation where there were no single detail to comment. Luxurious details such as several -layer paintings, retractable shooters at the doors (which close themselves), seats designed to rest in them and, of course, an arsenal of comparisons with Tesla, Porsche and Mercedes, whom they point out as great rivals. The other great afternoon star was the Hypervision Hud, a Head-Up Display that crosses all the width of the windshield to project all kinds of information on it, segmenting this in areas and launching the most relevant for each of the passengers. A solution that BMW advanced two years ago but that has not yet put into practice. We had everything in a presentation of the car that spread for almost an hour. Of everything? Almost, almost everything. Because we had a great absent: autonomous driving. No traces of autonomous driving During the presentation of Xiaomi Su7the Chinese company emphasized the autonomous driving capabilities of its vehicles. Showed in a video How the car moved but also how the driver got off the vehicle before entering a parking lot and, autonomously, the car moved through an environment of several plants and parked in a really adjusted space. The commitment to this facet was such that The first time that officially He saw the vehicle in motion was doing it for himself. In recent years, automated driving has been one of the big game boards where the battle for the electric car in China develops. In fact, the company’s rivals have also emphasized it in recent years. Nio has based on its strategy In this area and Byd hit the table recently announcing that His “eye of God” will reach all carsregardless of its price. It was undoubtedly a dart to Tesla who was has worked hard to operate as a vehicle with autonomous driving capabilities. So why was it overlooked at the presentation of the Xiaomi Yu7? During the same, the little that was said about this type of functions is that the car will have A new chipset that will help you better visualize obstacles or pedestrians. And that’s it. The message in relation to security was on the other hand. The company focused on the good results of its chassis and The presentation of a new framework of the cabin, highlighting the materials with which he was made and the pressures he can bear. Why did they spend so much talking about something so technical? Lei Jun presenting the structure of the Xiaomi Yu7 Well, a few weeks ago Three people died aboard an Xiaomi Su7. And there is a suspicion that is floating in the air: they had active the most advanced functions of driving. A fatal accident is something that all brands that want to delve into this market have passed but the Chinese government has given an order: there is no talk of autonomous driving. The companions of Xiaomi world that from The fateful accident There is a generalized concern in the country. So much so that from the government of the country they have launched a new regulation and have given an important notice to the manufacturers, as it has been able to know Reuters. The new regulations will force the possible improvements in the ADAS of driving aid systems to pass an exam. Only after overcoming it can be updated in the cars via Ota. Previously this previous step was not necessary before putting cars up to date. The notice is hard: those who announce autonomous driving functions that cannot be fulfilled may be punished with a fine that will multiply between five and ten times the rate price of the publicized vehicle. This has caused Xiaomi no longer to talk about autonomous driving and assisted driving. Driving aids are a controversial theme in China but also in the West. In fact, in the United States organisms have stressed that terms such as Full self driving and Autopilot of Tesla They point to promises that at this time cannot fulfill. But the company is not the only one indicated, the Drive Pilot Mercedes has also been qualified as such. For now, there are hardly traditional manufacturers that can offer completely autonomous driving systems with open traffic. Level 2 and 2+ systems still require driver’s attention. Even Fordwhich offers a system to travel without hands and without feet also forces this. Mercedes does offer it But in very specific places, with good weather and up to 60 km/h.

Pocket was the place where you saved articles you never read. The dopamine chute of social networks has killed it

by

I was an Pocket user. And like many others, I still did not read the articles that kept me. It was the condemnation of a service that opted for deferred and repossed reading of all kinds of articles – especially long – but found an apparently invincible nemesis: social networks. Mozilla closes Pocket. The Mozilla organization has announced That closes the Pocket service. On July 8 the platform will stop offering articles and will enter “mode only export”: users can export their articles saved until October 8, 2025, at which time “user data will be deleted permanently.” Reasons. According to those responsible, although Pocket has helped millions to save articles and discover stories that were worth reading, “the way people use the web has evolved, so we are channeling our resources to projects that best fit their navigation and online needs habits. “ A great service … Pocket was born in 2007 as Read It Later, a service that allowed to mark as favorite articles that you could read quietly when it came to you. The idea was gaining traction by focusing on extensive pieces of both journalism and creative writing. Mozilla He bought it In 2017 and made it one of the star services associated with its Firefox browser. … that we did not use so much. Many users will coincide with me that Pocket was fantastic but we did not take advantage of it. I kept keeping articles regularly with the hope of reading them in my Kobo e-book reader (which had this function integrated), but rarely ended up doing so. And on top we used a little bad. Pocket was so simple and comfortable to use that many ended up using it not only to keep promising – but not always wonderful – long texts (Longform), but all kinds of links with news or even tweets. And when you opened Pocket, two things used to happen. The first, the feeling of having another obligation before you, another list of tasks in the form of a list (endless) of articles to read. The second, to throw yourself for the short items that you knew you were going to consume in a short time to be able to “erase” from the list. Check “Reading later” had become a “take it off later.” But it was still a fantastic service, and it has not been we who have killed it. The culprit is another. Doomscrolling. Social networks They have stolen us Our capacity to concentrate. The dopamine chute that they offer us with the famous Doomscrolling has proven unstoppable. We love to displace the screen vertically on our mobile phones to see the following content, and that immediacy and instant gratification have ended up shaking our attention capacity. Until always, Pocket 🙁 Slot machine. The algorithms that govern social networks They are inspired by the slots. Its objective is to generate addiction and have us glued to the platform on duty without leaving it. A study Of 2021, the diabolical simplicity of our way of dealing with these contents revealed precisely. The experiment was overwhelming: A group of participants were given a single video and asked if they preferred to see another or perform a certain task. Another group were given five videos and asked them the same question. The second group was much more predisposed to watch more videos. Then the two groups saw the same number of videos, but the first group saw more diverse videos and the other saw more homogeneous videos. The second group showed its predisposition to see more videos instead of moving on to another task. AND ECO CHAMBERS. These results reflect our current reality. Social networks not only raise infinite content, but also do so Locking us increasingly in echo cameras with homogeneous content that reinforce our tastes and opinions. In Pocket we probably also built a large echo camera, true, but at least we did it, not an algorithm. The problem was to reserve 5, 10 or 15 minutes to read a long article is increasingly difficult before the avalanche of images, texts and especially short videos always suggestive, great and fun. Google Reader moment. Pocket’s closure remembers to some extent that we live with Google Reader, feeds RSS reader that the searches giant killed because although we loved him it was probably not profitable. As in that case, Pocket was a fantastic product but also very niche. And even in that niche, underutilized. Digital Diogenes. In fact, Pocket contributed to Our digital diogenes syndrome. It was the place where you saved, saved and saved articles that you never read. In that sense, it was less functional than Google Reader, that when you used you did, you took it to read those headlines of the news that were coming from the feed RSS. But that Save everything syndrome In order not to consume it or enjoy it, it occurs in many other scenarios, Like photos and videos of the mobile or in the video games that we download and to those who will never play. In fact it is not that we no longer play: is that We prefer to see others play. Alternatives. Pocket’s death makes us look for inevitable alternatives to continue keeping articles that we may never read. Among them stands out Instapaperbut they are also Readwise, Wallabag, Rindropeither Mymind. For those who have a kobo there is also somebut not so direct. Curse.

equal or better than those of Apple, Qualcomm and MediaTek

by

Yesterday was a day of those who are marked in history. Xiaomi presented his own chip And, although it is not the first time that the Chinese company enters the world of semiconductors, the Xring 01 It is a blow to a table where the entire industry is sitting. This is a very special chip. It works in a very different way from that of its Rivals of Qualcomm and Mediatek, in addition to having some much more advanced technologies. Understanding how Xring works is important, since this processor can mark a before and after in the own way in which the current leaders design their processors. The good, the ugly and the bad. To understand how the Xiaomi Xring works, it is necessary to understand how its rivals work in A high -end chip. And you just need to understand three keys to know what is happening at all times by the mobile chip. For more than ten years the chips have a Big.little architecture. The name perfectly explains what happens: there are “large” nuclei, “medium” nuclei, and “small” nuclei. Simplifying a lot, the nuclei are processing units within the chip that allow you to execute different tasks. The big ones are the most powerful and in, beginning, (this point is key) should only be activated for high demand tasks, such as high -resolution, export and video editing games or video, etc. The little ones are oriented to day -to -day basis, they are less powerful, but they consume less energy. When Little is not so little. MediaTak and Qualcomm have a problem. They have been engaged in a career for offering the most powerful chipand although the efficiency of its chips is enviable, it still has a lot of improvement margin. In the case of Qualcomm, in its 8 elite There are not even efficiency nuclei. Two very large nuclei (prime) Six large nuclei (performance). There are two prime nuclei at 4.32 GHz (a barbaric frequency), and six yield cores at 3.53 GHz, another tremendous figure. According to Qualcomm, this processor is more efficient than its predecessors. In our experience, having tried dozens of telephones with this processor, we can assure you that it is a chip prone to heating and quite swallow. Mediatek, with his Dimensity 9400It has a very different, similar architecture. A very large nucleus (Cortex-X925 at 3.63 GHz) Three large nuclei (Cortex-X4 to 3.3 GHz) Four medium nuclei (Cortex-A720 to 2.4 GHz) There is no need to learn any name but keep the concept that, in the two high -end Android processors, there are really no low consumption nuclei. Everything is more or less large nuclei that, yes, distribute the workload according to the task, but remain great. Apple’s case is different. His Apple A18 Pro It only has six nuclei (instead of eight) and there are more for efficiency than to performance. Two “large” nuclei (A18 P-Core at 4 GHz). Four “small” nuclei (A18 e-core at 2.2 GHz). How Xiaomi has resolved. You already know that on Android We are going crazy with the large and powerful nucleiand that Apple is at its pace with large nuclei but focusing on the little ones. How has the Xiaomi ballot resolved? Looking for the maximum balance and with a unique architecture of ten nuclei. Two “large” nuclei (x925 to 3.9 GHz) Four “medium” high frequency nuclei (A725 to 3.4 GHz) Four “medium” cores at low frequency (A725 to 1.9 GHz) Four “small” nuclei (A520 to 1.8 GHz). Xiaomi’s idea is completely different from that of its competence and, at least at a technical level, a genius. If you want power, you have two more than capable nuclei, the same X925 of Dimensity 9400 with even more clock frequency. For the rest of the powerful but not so demanding tasks, A725 to 3.4 GHz nuclei are used. What Mediatek understands as low -consumption nuclei Xiaomi understands it as nuclei capable of executing virtually any task (even games). And, for low consumption tasks, A520 A520 nuclei are combined (really small nuclei, which have renounced Qualcomm and Mediatek) at a very low frequency. What they have achieved. Chinese chip analysts, such as Geekerwan, have already been able Try Xring 01and their conclusions are clear. In addition to having managed to package the set on an area of ​​only 109mm2 (smaller than that of its direct rivals), Xiaomi has achieved what could be expected from the design of its chip: They are leaders in energy efficiency in low and medium load tasks. This is especially relevant to the foot user. The high -end chips are designed to execute demanding tasks, but a mobile is a mobile, and the main load of tasks can be resolved by a group of low consumption nuclei, something that its direct competition (except Apple) seemed to have forgotten. Stay with three data: the FPS that reaches in games such as ‘Genshin Impact’, the watts it consumes and the temperature it reaches. Regarding performance, it varies quite a lot for task. In games that are currently Benchmark, such as ‘Genshin Impact’, manages to maintain the same stability as their direct rivals with a similar consumption and a temperature contained. In other games, Apple is still the king in energy efficiency. In short, when it works to the maximum it is at the level of the best, and when it works at half gas it consumes less energy. A Win-Win of manual. This does not translate into an absolute victory over its rivals, since the performance is not measured in absolute terms and depends completely on the specific task to be executed. What is clear is that, being the first chip that Xiaomi takes seriously, being at the level of Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek is a key milestone. Not everything is CPU. So far we have focused on the CPU because the structure of this processor is unique and is a milestone in energy efficiency. But Xiaomi has also worked at the GPU, the part … Read more

Donald Trump has launched a direct threat to Apple: If you want to sell the iPhone in the United States, you must manufacture them there. Otherwise, you will have to assume a 25%tariff. This threat is part of its new commercial offensive, which also includes a 50% tariff to European products and measures against other great American technological ones. Apple, however, had already begun to reorder his production map. Tim Cook announced that “The majority” of the iPhone sold in the United States in 2025 will be manufactured in India. It is a message: Apple has no intention – not real capacity – to transfer its production to American soil in the short or medium term. In figures. Today, making an iPhone in China costs around $ 450. If that production was transferred to the United States, the cost per unit would shoot up to $ 1,400-1,600. And if the entire supply chain in US territory was also replicated, the final price to the consumer could overcome the 2,000 dollars.. Apple’s margin would not endure that blow. And consumers either. Yes, but. Moving production to India barely represents an increase from 10% to 15% compared to China. With an average sale price in the United States of about $ 1,000 to $ 1,200 per unit, Apple can absorb that difference, affect the customer or a mixture of both. Always without turning the iPhone into an unattainable luxury product. Trump’s 25% tariff, if applied, would be even more expensive. Between bambalins. India is more than a momentary escape route. Apple has been preparing for this turn for years. Foxconn has invested $ 1.5 billion to expand its plant in Chennai, and Tata Electronics has accelerated the construction of new assembly lines in Tamil Nadu. In 2024, 18% of the iPhone have already left India. In 2025 it will be 32%. Cook does not improvise: he knows that producing in the United States would have been reconstructing the infrastructure and technical specialization that Asia offers today. India is not China, but it has something that the United States does not: a young, cheap and trained population, as well as a government (that of Modi) willing to encourage every dollar invested. The context. Apple has already promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States in the next four years. But it will do it in chips, data centers and artificial intelligence servers, not in iPhones factories. Trump knows it, and that’s why he attacks: investment is not enough. It wants production. And he wants to see her inside her borders. By the way, half Billón’s investment had a small print of Cantabria’s size: On the other hand, manufacturing iPhone is not riding furniture. It is a high precision operation, with thousands of components assembled in record times for workers in 12 -hour shifts. The United States does not have the ecosystem, nor labor, nor the right labor cost to replicate that. Trump can press, but cannot alter the economic laws of global logistics. And now what. Apple will play time. You can negotiate exceptions, delays or adjustments, as did in 2019 with Chinese tariffs. But if Trump fulfills his threat, he will have to choose between paying billions in tariffs … or raising prices. And there is the paradox: If Apple manufactured in the United States, the iPhone would cost 1,200 to more than 2,000 and even $ 3,000. If it remains in India, with 25% of Trump included, it would rise only to about 1,500. Manufacture in India, even penalized, is still more profitable than producing at home.

China’s military and civil nuclear capacity grows at an unprecedented rate. The US does not take away your eyes off

by

China has deservedly consolidated as the country to which all the nations that bet on nuclear energy look. It currently has 58 nuclear reactors whose joint capacity is approximately 61 GWE (electric gigawatts). Besides, It has another 28 reactors under construction that will add additional 33.65 GWE. And just a month ago the State Council approved the construction of 10 more nuclear reactors. China is already the second country with more machines of this type, only behind the US. In any case, the best asset of this Asian country is its commitment to innovation. And the reactor of Molten Sales and Torio TMSR-LF1 is a very valuable letter of presentation. This machine received the approval of the Chinese Nuclear Safety Administration in mid -June 2023 after having successfully completed the initial testing phase that started in 2021. and since then the itinerary that had set the Institute of Applied Physics of Shanghai, which is the institution responsible for its tuning. As explained by the American nuclear engineer Nick Touran In your tweetthe TMSR-LF1 reactor officially entered into operation on October 11, 2023. A few months later, on June 17, 2024, He started working at full power. And on October 8 of last year the technicians who operate it detected protacinium-233 (PA-233), a radioactive isotope intermediate derived from the transformation of the thorium into Uranium-233 as part of the fuel cycle of the thorium. This nuclear reactor is in the Minqin industrial complex of the province of Gansu, in northern China. It has a power of 2 thermal megawatts (MWT), and, although it will not be the first Fourth Generation Nuclear Reactor In activity, and not the first one that Torio will use as fuel, it will be the first of molten salts that will use this chemical element. However, the ambition of this Asian country does not end here; It is already planning to build a molten salts and more capacity sales reactor for 2030. The modernization of China’s nuclear arsenal is accelerating Nuclear physics has two faces. We all know that the knowledge that has given us can be used to generate electricity and favor the development of large population masses, as we have just seen, but it can also be used to produce weapons of mass destruction. China carried out its first test with an atomic bomb in 1964. Initially its scientists had the help of Soviet nuclear engineers, but this alliance was broken in 1959 and the country that was then led by Mao Zedong was forced to continue with this project without having any external help. This isolation did not prevent China from carrying out the first test with a hydrogen bomb in 1967, just three years after launching its first atomic bomb. During the next three decades the Chinese nuclear armament continued advancing, although Mao never aspired to deal with the number of atomic and hydrogen bombs With the US or the Soviet Union first, and Russia later. His doctrine pursued China’s survival by resorting to deterrence, but without directly involving themselves in the cold war that the two hegemonic powers held at the end of the 20th century. “Beijing has the ambition to create a wide sphere of influence in the regions of the Indian and the Pacific, as well as becoming the leading world power” The funny thing is that everything changed during the first decade of the 21st century. China’s economic capacity was growing and its scientific and technical development during the second half of the twentieth century had been out of all doubt. The US government was already realized that this Asian country was consolidating as a superpower Able to dispute your world supremacy. This was the context in which the tension between these two countries was born that seems to be currently reaching its peak. The following literal extract of the document that collects The National Security Strategy Published by the US government in October 2022, it reflects very clearly why it considers China a threat: “The People’s Republic of China (RPC) is the only competitor that has both the intention of remodeling international order and, increasingly, more and more Economic, diplomatic, military and technological capacity To do so. Beijing has the ambition to create a wide sphere of influence in the regions of the Indian and the Pacific, as well as to become the leading world power. “These lines perfectly condense the background history that has triggered the international situation in which we meet. If we stick to its military development the US Department of Defense He estimates that China currently has an arsenal made up of More than 600 nuclear eyeletsand plans to increase this figure until reaching 1,000 eyelets in 2030. USA and Russia have an arsenal of approximately 5,200 and 5,500 eyelets respectively, although many of them are in reserve and others will be dismantled. China has less eyelets, it is evident, but at least rivals with the US if we stick to the sophistication of its intercontinental ballistic missiles, its nuclear submarines, its bomber and its hypersonic missiles. Let us trust that China, the US, Russia and the other nuclear powers enter and stop this climbing of the nuclear weapons.
