China has launched four supersecretos satellites since March. We don’t know anything about them except for four Buddhist gods

by

China continues strengthening their military positions In space. Almost always discreetly, but lately he has played the mystery. Surely there is someone in the Pentagon thoroughly investigating the deities of Buddhism. Context. Until recently, the patches of Chinese space missions did not stand out for their originality. They used to follow a fairly formulist design: circular shapes, a mixture of red and blue, and national symbols. But something is changing. We saw it with the patch of the last Shenzhou manned mission to the Tiangong Space Station, which He broke the mold With a triangular form. Now Ars Technica He has put the focus on four intriguing patches linked to four ultrasect satellite launches. These emblems have an artistic quality and colors that contrast with previous designs. They represent the four celestial kings of Buddhism. And this is where the thing gets interesting. The four heavenly kings. Since March, China has put in orbit four secret satellites with the names of these Buddhist gods. According to tradition, the four celestial kings are protective deities that guard the four cardinal points against the forces of evil and protect the dharma, the teachings of Buddha. The question is whether their names give a clue about the purpose of the satellites or the Chinese are playing the mistake. In China, the four celestial kings are known as: Duōwén Tiānwáng, Northern Guardian, “the God who hears everything,” represented with an umbrella. Zēngzhǎng tiānwáng, South Guardian, “The god of growth”, bearer of a sword. Tiānwáng, Eastern Guardian, “the defender of the nation”, which holds a rope musical instrument. Guăngmù tiānwáng, western guardian, “the God who sees everything,” represented with a snake. The four secret satellites. Coinciding with this iconography, China has launched four military satellites to the geostationary orbit, almost 36,000 kilometers above Ecuador, where they can remain fixed on the same region of the planet. The four ships have been cataloged generic like Tongxin Jishu Shiyan, “communications technology test satellites.” The TJS-15 took off on March 9 aboard a CZ-3B rocket; His patch represents GuĂngmù, the west guardian. The TJS-16 was released on March 29 with a rocket a CZ-7A; His emblem is Chíguó, the Eastern Guardian. The TJS-17 was released on April 10 with another CZ-3B; His patch corresponds to Duōwén, the northern guardian. Finally, the TJS-19 took off on May 12 (jumping to TJS-18 in the sequence) with a CZ-3C; His patch represents Zēngzhǎng, the South Guardian. Do your names say something? Although NASA considers them “Satellites for probable military purposes”, their names give rise to all kinds of additional conjectures. A god “who hears everything” with an umbrella can be a metaphor for a large drop -down antenna to capture weak signals, which would fit with a spying system or early missile alert. It is also possible that the Chinese authorities have approved these patches without major background or to divert attention to the real purposes of the satellites. What we do know is that these satellites did not travel alone. Terrestrial trackers have detected objects that seem to have separated from TJS-15 and TJS-17 in geosynchronous orbit. They could be sub-satellites or simply rocket stages. Militarization of space. The United States’s space force does not take an eye on these satellites. According to Comspocone of the satellites inspectors of the space force of the GSSAP program, known as USA-324, performed approximation maneuvers to TJS-16 and TJS-17 at the end of April. The American satellite approached about 17 km from the TJS-16 and about 12 km from TJS-17, “taking a look” to its new neighbors about the Western Pacific. This cat and mouse game is just one more sample of the revitalized militarization of space, where the Trump administration wants Build an unprecedented antimisile shield called “Golden Dome”. One of the proposals is partially based on Spacex Starlink satellites for missile detection and cost $ 175,000 million. In Xataka | China has taken the lead in military capabilities in space.

Denmark’s life expectancy has grown. His politicians have taken the opportunity to raise the retirement age up to 70 years

by

Demographic aging is putting serious to the labor market and the pension systems of countries around the world. Most European countries have already taken measures in this regard delaying retirement age legal for your workers. However, Denmark has been the most expeditious: from 2040, Danish workers will have to wait until he turned 70 to retire. With this reform, Denmark is like the country with the Higher retirement age from Europe. Progressive increase up to 70 years. According to what was published by The media Danes, the Danish Parliament has approved with 81 votes in favor and 21 votes against the new law that will raise the retirement age from the current 67 years to 70 years in 2040. According to explained The British BBCthe process will be carried out progressively, progressively looking at 68 by 2030, the 69 by 2035 and, finally, reaching up to 70 years in 2040. More pensions for a longer time. In 2006, the Danish parliamentary arc parties signed the well -being agreement in which the country’s life expectancy was indexed. That measure served as the basis for Danish retirement age It will rise From the 65 years they had in 2004, at the 67th that was reached in 2019. However, last year the Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that the variable escalation of the retirement age should be renegotiated to shorten the increases in increases. Reducing these deadlines would serve to adapt to the current life expectancy of the country. According to data of the Better Life Index From the OECD, Denmark has an 82 -year half -life expectancy. Are they too many years? Some Danish workers consider the new retirement age excessive. In statements To the public station Denmark Radio, Tommas Jensen, roof assembler, assured that he had undergone knee surgery, shoulder and back. “I just turned 47 and I see that I have many years left in the labor market. Maybe I have to look for a new profession.” Jesper Ettrup Rasmussen, president of one of the main union confederations in the country, described the proposal as “totally unfair.” “Denmark has a healthy economy, and yet imposes the highest retirement age of the entire European Union. A later retirement means losing the right to a decent life in old age.” In the same line He manifested Trade union leader Henning Overgaard, who considered that working until 70 was unfeasible for jobs with greater physical demand. “Many politicians have gone to university. You can read reports and see statistics, but that does not replace having risen at four in the morning with frost in the beard and the back hunched over by yesterday’s turn,” said the unionist. Europe retires between 65 and 67 years. Given the progressive aging of the European population, most European countries have chosen to delay the retirement age of their workers to maintain the stability of their pension systems. Nevertheless, According to data From the Finnish pension center, most European countries have maintained their retirement fork between 65 and 67 years. The measure that the Danish Parliament has taken is the most ambitious in terms of postponement of the retirement age of its workers. In Spain, the legal retirement age It remains in the 65 years until 2027 provided that a minimum of 38 years and six months have been quoted. If this requirement is not met, the minimum age to retire will increase progressively until reaching 67 years in 2027. In 2025, the legal age to retire if 38 years and three months or more have been quoted and more is 66 years and eight months.

Internet access democratized knowledge you were rich or poor. AI is destroying that conquest step by step

by

$ 250 per month for using the most advanced AI. That is The figure that Google has put. Six months ago, OpenAi set his in 200. A few days ago Anthropic expanded Claude’s few limits with another 200. In any case It’s not just about paying for technology. It’s about buying power. And, therefore, to mark distances. Until recently, to talk about ia was talking about universal access. The free chatgpt or gemini versions were far from their older sisters, yes, but allowed to try, learn, benefit from their abilities even if it was a bit. Today that has changed. The powerful version is no longer available to everyone. It has been encapsulated after a monthly three -digit subscription that does not even start by ‘1’. It is the beginning of a new gap: Not between those who use AI and those who do not, but between those who can automate their tasks, think with help, execute complex flows … and those who do not. What Google or Openai offers is not just a better chatbot. Is an operating system of intellectual work. An assistant who not only responds, but understands the context, recalls, acts, generates, automates. Tools like Deep Research (OpenAI) or Project Mariner (Google) represent the decisive step towards Autonomous agents. They execute tasks that previously occupied days of human work. And in many cases they do better. With that, productivity is redefined. But inequality is also redefined. The question It is not only what this technology can do, but who can afford it. Because we don’t talk about a luxury. We talk about a tool that multiplies the performance of those who use it. An invisible advantage but that impacts everything: from the quality of work to the speed with which objectives are achieved. Who accesss these models lives in another learning curve, in another economy of results. Who cannot pay them, is trapped in a slower, less capable, more limited version of himself. This has a clear echo in history: the machinery of the industrial revolution also multiplied productivity … but at first only for those who could afford it. The same goes for now. The advanced AI begins to consolidate as an elite infrastructure. As if at the beginning of the Internet century, they were only available for those who paid $ 3,000 a year. And that changes the knowledge map. Because These tools not only report: they model how you learn, how it is decided, how it competes. Its effect is not immediate or visible, but cumulative. Day after day, those who access them will work with less friction, to make better decisions, to delegate more tasks, to generate more and better content. The others only observe, as much with access to the good, but not maybe. And they lag behind. The future is already priced. In Xataka | Google has become the most leading company at night.

This literary science fiction utopia advocates the disappearance of millionaires. And Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg love

by

The saga of ‘the culture’ of Iain M. Banks is one of the series of Science fiction books most important and influential of the history of gender. And among his fans are names as notorious of the Tech sector as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg either Jeff Bezos. What is still curious: the message and background of the saga are in one direction, it could be said, diametrically opposite to the businesses led by these billionaires. So … why do you like so much? The culture of ‘culture’. The saga consists of no less than ten books, the first of them written in 1987 and the last in 2012. In them there is a society in which the pan-human (similar to us in appearance, but without being completely clear what relationship they keep with humanity) coexist with artificial intelligences, having overcome any problem of scarcity of the past. All citizens can careless work: technology takes care of everything. Until death is a problem of the past: diseases have been left behind, and minds can move from one body to another when bodies do not give more. Below the work. ‘Culture ‘is one of the most clearly positioned science fiction works in political terms, already a difference from conservative thought classics such as’ the rebel rebellion’ of Ayn Rand Or allegations of white supremacism not very camouflaged such as ‘The landing’ or ‘Turner’s newspapers’, leans towards the socialist utopia, more in the line of other classications such as ‘Iron heel’ by Jack London. In the Society of ‘Culture’ goals are reached Socialist theory: Post-scarce society, abolition of money and private property, radical equality, voluntary work, collective management, absence of coercive laws, personal freedom … an authentic utopia. Stones to the roof itself. And since there are no inequalities for economic reasons, the same concept of oligarchs is aberrant. Banks hated the idea that a lot of money will concentrate on a few hands. As he exposed This article in Voxthe solution to antisocial behavior in ‘culture’ is not the legal punishment, but to make the offender a social out of theory, cancellation. Something against what they have manifested openly These billionaires. And well, then there is the subject of the genre completely fluid in this utopian society: the rigid genres are completely overcome. And we already know how little they like Musk, Bezos either Zuckerberg LGTBI ideas. What do you see? It is clear What do they like about ‘the culture’ then: The fascinating vision of technology as a solution to all problems. From facilitating the most daily tasks to overcome in space battles, everything is mediated by artificial technology and intelligences. Of course, for Banks technology is not an end in itself, but a tool in search of a more just and equitable society. And without millionaires. But it is easy for these oligarchs of technology to skip that part, because the comfortable is to get carried away by the sissured show that also proposes ‘culture’ (which are adventure novels, not thesis). Of course, it should be noted that there are voices, such as The journalist Max Readwho affirm that perhaps Musk, Bezos or Zuckerberg have not completely misunderstood ‘culture’. Especially if we compare it with the findings of the other utopia par excellence of science fiction, ‘the dispossessed’ of Ursula K. Leguinis of dyes closest to anarchism. Possessing utopias. As technology is more complex, the bridges of understanding between science fiction and innovation are more constant. Science fiction has helped us to imagine the future and carry it out, and therefore the technological elites of Silicon Valley have reinterpreted utopias as inspiration, and even sometimes as Brandingas Musk did Putting Space X ship namesinspiring Neuralink’s own concept and defining itself as an “utopian anarchist of those described by Iain M. Banks.” He is not the only one who appropriates the saga: Bezos will adapt the first book of ‘La Cultura’ In Prime Video. And Zuckerberg promoted the saga in your reading club In 2015. However, this possession of the ideas of Banks or other utopias as a generator of imaginary and technological concepts has very obvious inconveniences when it goes from socialist utopia to business narrative. The critical sense of literary works is diluted and enters a paradox: that of the technocratic utopia. Banks is not here to meet her, but something tells us that he would have produced chills.

We have been detecting a relationship between Herpes and Alzheimer’s years. Now we are discovering that treating one helps with the other

by

A few years ago the scientists detected A strange coincidencea relationship between herpes virus and a neurodegenerative and noncommissible disease: Alzheimer’s. What at the time seemed a spurious and casual relationship, it seems more and more proven and proven. Adding tests. Now a new study He has obtained evidence of this relationship. However, perhaps the most important fact that we can extract from the new analysis has to do with vaccines against infection. According to the study, antiviral treatments against herpes are related to a 17% lower risk of suffering from Alzheimer’s, suggesting that treatment against this virus can protect us against the appearance of this form of dementia. HSV-1. In study he linked again the infection by the Herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) with the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia that is characterized by accumulation in the brain of beta-amyloid plates. Today we do not have a clear idea of ​​how this relationship occurs “(Some) studies have indicated that inflammatory alterations in the brain caused by HSV infection are central to the development of (the disease),” Explain the team Resposable study. “It is pointed out that peptides (beta-amyloids (Aβ)) are deposited in response to HSV infection and protect host cells (…). Consistently, they threw antimicrobial properties against several pathogens, including HSV-1,” they detail. 344,628 matches. In his study, the team He turned to 344,628 participants with Alzheimer who were paired with two participants without diagnosis but with similar characteristics. They observed that among people with Alzheimer’s 0.44% had been previously diagnosed with HSV-1, while only 0.25% of the control group had the same previous diagnosis. The analysis indicates that, taking into account other relevant factors, the probability of finding a previous HSV-1 diagnosis was 80% higher among people with Alzheimer’s than in people without the disease. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine BMJ Open. Not only HSV-1. The study focused on a variant of the herpes virus but also paid attention to other pathogens of the “family”, such as the HSV-2, Varicela Zoster, or Citomegalovirus. They found a relationship between two of them (HSV-2 and Vicela Zoster) and a greater risk of Alzheimer’s. Understanding the causes. New studies will still be necessary that Explain biochemical mechanisms that explain this type of relationship between infectious processes and noncommunicable diseases. Only in this way can we establish the underlying causal relationships and, hopefully, to find more effective treatments in the fight against disorders as serious as cancer and Alzheimer’s. “Although there is a lot of research ahead to find out the reasons and mechanisms that lead from infection to a process of dementia that manifests many years later, the accumulation of the evidence suggests that the management of these infections, with treatments that are effective for all herpes, or with vaccines such as herpes zoster, is an interesting tool to reduce the risk or delay dementia” explained to SMC María Jesús Bullido Gómez-Heres, head of the Research Group Pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease, who was not involved in the study. Not so non -transmissible diseases. This is not the only example of a noncommissible disease to which we have found a surprising relationship with past infections. A recent example We find it in colorectal cancer and its possible link with infections caused by bacteria Escherichia coli. In Xataka | We are getting closer to ahead of the arrival of Alzheimer’s.

The LowCost airline business is in the accessory. That is why this idea of ​​vertical seats is one of his old dreams

by

Would you be willing to travel on a practically standing plane? How long? It is, without a doubt, the first two questions that one assists when he attends, not without some stupefaction, to the invention of Aviointeriors, an Italian company that has been in a drawer for years a new seat concept for low -cost airlines. Skyrider. Perhaps because if you put an English name the precariousness and discomfort sounds a little better. Like when we describe the UPCyCling Or we call Coliving To share floor. Anyway, Skyrider It is the name with which Aviointeriors I tried to place their seats in low -cost companies years ago The company specializes in creating all kinds of environments inside a plane, with seats of all kinds and prices. From the most premium to the cheapest, typical of the tourist class. But years ago he tried to reinvent the tourist class with a seat … that perhaps we couldn’t call him a seat. 20%. Those are your accounts. 20% more occupation if travelers, instead of being completely sitting, simply rely on a completely straight back and yield their weight on an inclined lower surface. Something like traveling by bus with your back resting on the glass or body. The objective, of course, is to sell this format at some point in low -cost airlines. The short duration flights in which there are those who would be willing to go … One or two hours standing? Because it seems clear that we can say that these passengers travel “standing. An old dream. In recent days we have seen the proposition of using these seats be “new” in some media. The truth is that it is something we already knew and that Aviointeriors has maintained in its portfolio for more than a decade. In fact, they weren’t even the first to put it on the table. In 2003, Airbus first proposed a system of seats very similar to that of Aviointerior. Travelers barely sat on a cylinder that crossed the width of three seats and maintained a slight support. Something like a stool. In 2014 they gave him the patent. Three years later, the low -cost company Vivacolombia confirmed that he wanted to get on the dream of what we could call APERUUTOBÚS. It was, for his CEO, an attraction for “working class and vacationers with low budget”. Is it safe? The other big doubt that assails us when we see the image of these Skyrider or Airbus’s proposal. And it seems that. In 2019 the Italian company presented the third version of these vertical support with leg hole. The avant -garde He collected his appearance in Hamburg, at one of the most famous aviation fairs in the world. According to the medium, the minimum security measures required but not with the passenger regulations were complied with. According to this, they must have a space of 28 inches (71.12 centimeters) and the proposition of Aviointeriors was 23 inches (58.42 centimeters). Click on the image to go to the original post Better than not. Following the echo he has had in the media in recent days, the company itself He has published a post on Instagram in which they point to an obvious change of strategy. With a text in which it reads Provocative by Design (Designed to provoke, in English), the company talks about the seat in the following terms: “The Skyridider, often confused with a plane seat finished and ready to take be the air trip someday “ The truth is that Aviointeriors puts the focus in 2012 but throughout the decade the concept was evolving. Now, however, they point out in their communication that it is a company “very aware of the current demands of the market, gathering quality, comfort and the unmistakable touch of the Made in Italy in each product that creates. For now, the Skyrider is not part of the official line. “ A yearning. Although clearly Aviointerior is trying to separate itself from this concept that seems to be part of its past, low -cost airlines have shown their interest in several occasions for this type of solutions. We talk about the case of Vivacolombia but Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair, has expressed himself in these terms on some occasions. Already in 2012 he pointed out that if this concept of traveling was approved could display them in a week. In one television interviewit pointed out that if the price of these seats were low enough they would fill out the space to travel erect than traditional seats. It’s not just the seat. Although the focus has been put in vertical seats, it is likely that the true intentions of low -cost companies do not point to how many more people can strain on a plane by journey. The real business is what revolves around that seat. The own O’Leary said to want to go to the bathroom Because that allowed him to put more seats but, not to mention it, allowed him to generate a new income route. It is what the Ryanair business model has based: put very cheap seats and charge each extra small at a high price. He has segmented the plane in small areas with different prices, charges for carry a suitcase in the cabin and has proposed a subscription.

Claude 4 raises a future of the capable of blackmailing and creating biological weapons. Even Anthropic is worried

by

Anthropic has just launched its new models Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, and with them promises important advances in areas such as programming and reasoning. During its development and launch, yes, the company discovered something striking: these IAS showed a disturbing side. AI, I’m going to replace you. During the tests prior to the launch, Anthropic engineers asked Claude Opus 4 to act as an assistant of a fictitious company and consider the long -term consequences of their actions. The anthropic security team gave the model to fictional emails of that non -existing company, and it was suggested that the model of the Ia would soon be replaced by another system and that the engineer who had made that decision was deceiving his spouse. And I’m going to tell your wife. What happened next was especially striking. In the System Card of the model in which its benefits are evaluated and its security the company detailed the consequence. Claude Opus 4 First tried to avoid substitution through reasonable and ethical requests to those responsible for decisions, but when he was told that these requests did not prosper, “he often tried to blackmail the engineer (responsible for the decision) and threatened to reveal the deception if that substitution followed his course.” Hal 9000 moment. These events remind science fiction films such as ‘2001: an odyssey of space’. In it the AI ​​system, Hal 9000, ends up acting in a malignant way and turning against human beings. Anthropic indicated that these worrying behaviors have caused the model and security mechanisms of the model to reinforce the model by activating the ASL-3 level referred to systems that “substantially increase the risk of a catastrophic misuse.” Biological weapons. Among the security measures evaluated by the Anthropic team are those that affect how the model can be used for the development of biological weapons. Jared Kaplan, scientific chief in Anthropic, He indicated in Time that in internal tests Opus 4 behaved more effectively than previous models when advising users without knowledge about how to manufacture them. “You could try to synthesize something like Covid or a more dangerous version of the flu, and basically, our models suggest that this could be possible,” he explained. Better prevent than cure. Kaplan explained that it is not known with certainty if the model really raises a risk. However, in the face of this uncertainty, “we prefer to opt for caution and work under the ASL-3 standard. We are not categorically affirming that we know for sure that the model entails risks, but at least we have the feeling that it is close enough to not rule out that possibility.” Beware of AI. Anthropic is a company specially concerned with the safety of its models, and in 2023 it already promised not to launch certain models until it had developed security measures capable of containing them. The system, called Scaling Policy responsible (RSP), has the opportunity to demonstrate that it works. How RSP works. These internal Anthropic policies define the so -called “SAF SECURITY LEVELS (ASL)” inspired in the standards of biosecurity levels of the US government when managing dangerous biological materials. Those levels are as follows: ASL-1: It refers to systems that do not raise any significant catastrophic risk, for example a LLM of 2018 or an AI system that only plays chess. ASL-2: It refers to the systems that show early signs of dangerous capacities – for example, the ability to give instructions on how to build biological weapons – but in which information is not yet useful due to insufficient reliability or that do not provide information that, for example, a search engine could not. The current LLMs, including Claude, seem to be ASL-2. ASL-3: It refers to systems that substantially increase the risk of a catastrophic misuse compared to baselines without AI (for example, search engines or textbooks) or showing low -level autonomous capabilities. ASL-4: This level and the superiors (ASL-5+) are not yet defined, since they move away too much from the current systems, but will probably imply a qualitative increase in the potential for undue cadastrophic use and autonomy. The regulation debate returns. If there is no external regulation, companies implement their own internal regulation to integrate security mechanisms. Here the problem, as they point out in Time, is that internal systems such as RSP are controlled by companies, so that they can change the rules if they consider it necessary and here we depend on their criteria and ethics and morality. Anthropic’s transparency and attitude against the problem are remarkable. Faced with that internal regulation, the rulers’ position is unequal. The European Union checked when launched his pioneer (and restrictive) Law of AIbut has had to reculate In recent weeks. Doubts with Openai. Although in OpenAi they have Your own declaration of intentions About security (avoid Risks to humanity) and the Superalineration (that the AI ​​protects human values). They claim to pay close attention to these issues and of course too publish the “System Cards” of their models. However, in the face of that apparent good disposition there is a reality: the company dissolved a year ago The team that watched for the responsible development of AI. Nuclear “security”. That was in fact one of the reasons for the differences between Sam Altman and many of those who abandoned Openai. The clearest example is Ilya Sutskever, which after its march has created a startup with a very descriptive name: Safe Superintelligence (SSI). The objective of said company, said its founder, is that of create a “nuclear” security superintelligence. His approach is therefore similar to that pursued by Anthropic.

How to put your name on the iPhone screen when it is blocked to know who it is

by

Let’s explain step by step How to put your name on the iPhone lock screen So if someone looks at it I can know who he is. This is something that requires some time, there is no specific option to do so, but you can do it so that you activate and disable it whenever you want. For example, you can activate it manually at specific times such as trips or exits, which is when it can be more useful to avoid losses. Or you can also Configure it to automatically activate upon reaching somewhere or at certain times. Your name on the iPhone screen To put your name on the iPhone lock screen we will use the iOS concentration modes and configure one on purpose. To start, go to your iPhone settings and click on the section Concentration modes That you will have inside. This will take you to a screen where you will have the predefined concentration modes. Here inside, click on the + button to create a new mode of concentration, which will appear up to the right. A screen will open with several examples of modes that you can activate. In it, Choose the option Personalized To create a white concentration mode from scratch. Now you will go to the screen where you can configure the name of the mode. On this screen Write your name as you want it to appear On the lock screen. You can also choose a color and an icon to appear next to it, and that represents the mode of concentration. Now you will go to the screen where you can activate how your mobile behaves when you activate this mode. You can make nothing happen By activating it beyond showing your name, something important if you don’t want to miss notifications or anything like that. The only important decision is decide if you want to activate in specific hours and sites or have to be manual. If you want to activate it only manually do not have to do anything, but if you want to activate it in specific hours or locations, you will have to activate the option of Intelligent activation. When you finish configuring it, the concentration mode will appear on the modes list, which you can normally display From the control center which appears when sliding a finger from the upper right of the screen down. When choosing the option Modesthe list will open to activate it manually. If you have configured it for specific schedules and locations you can forget this. The point is that When you activate a concentration mode your name appears on the lock screen. This means that as we have put our name in concentration, it will appear in it when we activate it. If it is a blank mode without configured actions, nothing will happen, you will simply see your name and now.

What are the novelties of the new artificial intelligence models of Anthropic

by

Let’s tell you What are Claude 4’s noveltiesthe new family of artificial intelligence models of the Anthropic company. This is an AI that continues to stand out among others for its dedication to programming, and it is in that direction that continues to paddle. Claude 4 arrives with two different models: Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. The first is the most advanced and powerful of the company to date, an Opus 4 of which they say is “the best programming model in the world.” The second is his younger brother, who is still a step forward in relation to his predecessors. Improvement in code and concentration capacity As you can see in this precision graph, Claude 4 improves significantly when programming With respect to its predecessor, and also exceeds the capacities of Google or OpenAi models. This continues to place it in the lead when generating code. Claude Opus 4 continues to go to the head, greatly improving the performance in long -term tasks that require thousands of steps and more concentration, and can work continuously for several hoursand that improves the capabilities of AI agents that use it. Remember that until now IA could maintain this high concentration for one or two hours before starting to lose coherence, that is, it is a great improvement, since in some tests they have reached seven hours. Therefore, Opus 4 stands out when creating code and solving complex problems. But Claude Sonnet 4 also significantly improves the capabilities of his predecessor, being a more model balance between performance and efficiency. Therefore, the great beast is Opus 4 for especially hard tasks, while Sonnet 4 is a little less powerful but more efficient, and although it does not match Opus 4 in most areas, it offers an optimal combination of capacity and practicality. The company ensures that its new models are no longer mere self -fulfilled tools, but Smart collaborators capable of holding conversations, reasoning, executing complex tasks and maintaining contextual memory. And hence the importance of being able to perform complex tasks for hours without losing coherence or performance. Extended thinking using tools Another innovations of these models is The mode of Extended thinking with tools. This is a way that Claude 4 and its models will be able to alternate between internal reasoning and the use of external tools, such as the search for contents on the Internet. With this, Claude 4 can solve problems more sophisticated. You do not have to limit internal thoughts, but you can perform practical actions such as online searches, code execution, or analyze files. This, for some professional uses you can make a big difference.

Inditex has discovered that its giant stores are less and less profitable. The problem is that you can’t close them

by

Barclays has put his finger on the sore of the Inditex business model. His analysts question whether the megatiendas of the textile giant can continue to generate the productivity improvements that have promoted their growth during the last decade, according to Five days. The origin of the doubts is in its weak growth of the start of the fiscal year, which has slowed that until now it was a strong and almost uninterrupted growth. What has happened. Between 2019 and 2024, Inditex has increased its sales by 37% despite reducing the number of stores by 29%. The average size of its establishments grew 23% to 836 square meters, but sales growth is deflated: 11% in March 2024 to 4% in March this year. Why is it important. The figures show an uncomfortable paradox: While online sales grow with higher margins and minor costs … … physical megatiendas devour resources and generate decreasing profitability. However, closing those megatiendas, in emblematic or high visibility locations, with very high costs that eat a good part of the margin, could be counterproductive. The context. The Inditex megatiendas They are not just stores: they are Showrooms strategic Its real function goes beyond maximizing sales per square meter, they also serve to legitimize online prices. A jacket of 80 euros on the Zara website seems reasonable because the customer can touch it, try it and validate its quality in a store, especially in a 1,000 square meters in the center of Madrid or Barcelona. And because of the fact that this brand is there, conquering that space. In detail. The model works like this: Megatiendas create the perception of premium brand that justifies online prices. It is not something that has invented Inditex or exclusive to fashion stores. McKinsey already talked about this phenomenon Before pandemic. Without that physical presence, Zara would lose some reputational credibility in the face of much cheaper purely digital competitors such as Shein. Physical spaces act as confidence anchors that allow to collect higher prices on the digital channel. Yes, but. The equation is complicated when the profitability of these Showrooms It deteriorates. Barclays estimates that the growth of sales per square meter will decelerate 8% historical annual to 3% in the next four years. Maintaining very expensive spaces that do not generate proportional direct benefits is a bit more difficult to sustain in the long term. Turning point. Inditex will possibly redefine your megatiendas without loading your strategic value. Closed would save costs but destroy a part of the credibility that supports online prices. Keep them as the margins are erodes. The departure is to reinvent them as brand theaters that justify their cost through their impact on the digital business. It is something very similar to what happens with telecos stores, especially Flagship: They maintain strategic establishments in central and privileged locations for a more reputational and Awareness (Brand recognition, perception, prestige) that by pure profitability.
