For the first time an unmanned boat has knocked down Russian combat planes

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

At the beginning of February there was An unusual factnot for war in Ukraine, but for any other armed conflict known in history. If the battle of drones was redefining the modern combat, the conflict gave green light to something new: dwarfs of drones “mother” in turn launching other drones to attack in turn to rival drones. The latest: boats with missiles demolishing Russian fighters, and without No one behind the wheel of vessels. Lethal innovation in the Black Sea. In an unprecedented event, the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) managed to tear down two Russian fighters Su-30 Flanker using air-air missiles AIM-9 Sidewinder. The surprising thing is from where they launched: Magura-7 naval dronesas Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov declared exclusively To The War Zone. This unpublished action, which occurred in the Black Sea, represents not only the first time that combat planes are dejected From unmanned vesselsbut also the First lethal use AIM-9 missile confirmed from this type of platform, which underlines the degree of sophistication and innovation achieved by Ukrainian forces in the Maritime Theater of Operations. Details of an unusual attack. Apparently, the operation used three magura-7 dronesan anti -aircraft variant of the model Magura-5of which two shot at the Russian fighters. According to Budanovthe first SU-30 was reached and its crew survived after being rescued by a civil ship, while it is presumed that the pilots of the second apparatus perished in the attack. So far, there are only images of the first demolition disseminated in networks social. We remember that the use of AIM-9M missiles, a more advanced variant than R-73 Sovietdemonstrates Ukraine’s ability to integrate Western armament into unconventional platforms. Unlike R-73, the AIM-9M lacks the High-Off-Boresight capacity (Hobs), forcing the missile to be oriented directly towards the objective to acquire white. However, their best background discrimination, infrared countermeasures and smokeless propulsion offer significant tactical advantages, especially in an environment where drones must operate with discretion. Precedents and evolution of doctrine. The incident is put along with the occurred in DecemberWhen Ukraine reported the successful use of an R-73 triggered from a USV to deed a Mi-8 helicopter Russian. Since January, according to Budanov, Ukrainian engineers began to install AIM-9 in these unmanned vehicles, consolidating an evolution that Combine elements of air defense, electronic war and asymmetric naval combat. Although the exact launch configurations have not been disclosed by Ukrainian intelligence, everything indicates that Magura-7 represents A hybrid node high mobility capable of operating in areas where air control is highly disputed. Russian reactions and consequences. Moscow’s response has not been waiting. Through various Channels in Telegrammilitary analysts and commentators have recognized the effectiveness of the attack and indicated the growing deficiencies in the defensive capacity of the Black Sea. The War Cárs correspondent Kitten channel He expressed his alarm For three factors: the loss of the maritime initiative, the degradation of the Black Sea fleet after the destruction of the Moskva cruise, and the apparent Ukrainian domain in the use of unmanned vessels capable of projecting power even on the Russian coastal airspace. The analyst Vladislav Shurygin regretted That the attack followed the same lure and ambush pattern already observed in other Ukrainian operations, criticizing that Russian doctrine seems unable to adapt to these tactics. Meanwhile, the Two Majors channel strongly questioned the Lack of effective means To neutralize the USV, proposing the use of FPV drones or the combination of UAV of Zala recognition With ammunition Lancet Merodetersas already happens on the mainland. Technological implications. No doubt, the use of air-air missiles on non-manned naval platforms redefines the rules of combat in the black Sea. Historically, The Sidewinder They have adapted to naval defense systems Like the Chaparralbut its surface Kamikaze drones grants Ukraine a mobile, hidden and scalable tactical capacity, capable of deterring Russian aviation without compromising high -value human or material resources. In addition, it reflects a constant evolution in the use of donated western systems, many of which, such as AIM-9M, were originally thought For manned fighters and now they are reconfigured on innovative platforms that They multiply its impact strategic. Although the United States and its allies have not publicly detailed how many missiles of this type have delivered to Ukraine, it seems clear that its use is far from limiting themselves to conventional air combat and is expanding the lethality of the Ukrainian autonomous systems. A turning point. In short, the demolition of the two SU-30 fighters by Ukrainian naval drones Mark a symbolic and operational turning point. As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, the control of the maritime space becomes as crucial as the land domain, and kyiv once again demonstrates its ability to convert material limitations in asymmetric advantages. We have come counting as that grew Industry without a paragon Around drones. By integrating Western technologies with its own doctrine, Ukraine is creating a new class of hybrid threats difficult to detect, anticipate or counteract. The incident not only represents a punctual victory in tactical terms, but also a meridianly clear message: Russian naval power is no longer unquestionable not even in front of small unmanned boats that are capable of driving fighters tens of kilometers from the coast.

The commercial war between China and the US has had an unexpected injury: Starbucks

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

Just a year ago we talked to Xataka of the delicate moment through Starbucks. A year later, the world’s largest coffee chain deepens the crisis of its business model, now trapped between those structural problems, which came from afar, and a new problem: Trump’s tariffs. The current situation. Starbucks accumulates five consecutive quarters of falls In sales in the United States. Only in the last quarter, transactions fell 4%, although average customer expenditure increased by 3%. It does not matter: that increase is insufficient to compensate for the loss of traffic in coffee shops if customers look for cheaper alternatives like Dunkin ‘or McDonald’s. Why is it important. The company depends on coffee imported from more than 30 countries, and with The new 10% tariffshis commitment not to raise prices in 2025 further complicates the recovery of his margins, which were already down. The context. What for years was an unstoppable growth story, tripling its premises from 2012 to exceed 40,000 in 2024, it has now become a struggle to maintain its profitability. The United States, its main market, is saturated. And China, its great growth commitment, has its own problems. The US market shows clear signs of maturity with a growth of premises that has slowed down. In China, although it has almost doubled its stores in five years, income has stagnated, with flat interannual sales (0% last quarter). The latter has a lot to do with Nationalist consumption That put local alternatives before. The threat. Beyond tariffs, Starbucks has other open fronts around its business model. Between the lines. The new CEO Brian Niccol, signing of Chipotle with music from Fanfarrias, has launched the Plan “Back to Starbucks“To recover the essence that made the company great. However, he recently recognized that “our results of the second quarter are disappointing,” although he also said he “confidence that our plan is the right strategy to turn the business.” The unexpected turn. Despite all these problems, Niccol maintains its commitment to freeze prices in 2025, a brave decision (and we will see if reckless) when their competitors will surely increase them due to the impact of tariffs. It is true that this strategy could give it competitive advantage if it manages to control its margins on other ways, but it is also that these margins are increasingly constrained. In figures. The financial situation explains the deterioration of the business: The actions almost 30% have fallen From the announcement of tariffs. Its adjusted operational margin of the last quarter was 8.2%, quite below the expected 9.5%. The benefits collapsed more than 50% compared to the previous year, to 384 million dollars. The company accumulates 23,000 million net debt, with a indebtedness ratio superior to triple. The latest. Starbucks has already implemented several measures to contain costs: Elimination of extra charges for alternative milks. Reduction of customization options. Product discontinuation. Free recharges offer for those who consume in their establishments. The question now is whether these measures will be enough in the face of an increasingly hostile economic environment, where consumption habits are changing and the experience that previously defined Starbucks no longer seems sufficient to justify their prices.

launch your first laptop with Linux

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

The list of entities of the US Department of Commerce is not a pleasant place to be. Huawei has already lost its use licenses for Google services, and the same has happened with its Microsoft agreements to use Windows in the company’s laptops. Huawei can continue to sell Windows laptops that are already in the market, but the production of new devices with this operating system depends on licenses, now subject to restrictions. The scope of them is global and will affect the availability of Huawei products with Windows in Europe. But the Chinese company has a plan. The license agreement. Huawei now has with Microsoft the same situation as with Google. You cannot use your licenses in any of your new manufacturing products. As you had to say goodbye to Google on its Android mobiles, the company can no longer manufacture Windows computers. Huawei’s response. Already in September 2024, before the imminent expiration of the license agreement, Richard Yu himself responded in an interview He advanced that the current PCs of Huawei would be the last with Windows, and that those of the next generation would come hand in hand with their own operating system, Harmonyos. It is an answer that does not throw too many doubts in China, where Harmonyos Next is the clear commitment of the future. But in Europe the consumer profile is different, and the state of Harmonyos is very incipient. Harmonyos Next. Huawei is clear that the future of its software is to create a complete ecosystem in which PC, smartphone, smart watches and even electric vehicle are connected. For this it is developing Harmonyos Nexta system without a trace of Android or Linux core, 100% own with a native kernel. This is the beginning of most ambitious software project never executed by the company, a proposal that We will begin to see this year on PCs sold in China. Linux always remains. Outside China, Harmonyos does not make too much sense, since the appus ecosystem is yet to be built. Just a few hours ago, the company announced the Huawei Mate X Pro in its versions 14 and 16 … executing Linux and running with an Intel Core Ultra 7. It is exactly the same device as the company sold with Windows, but with a Linux environment and a change price of 1,352 euros (10,399 yuan). The laptop It can be bought in Vmall (as long as you live in China), and supposes a whole before and after for the company. The doubt of Europe. Linux has a quota in Europe that Round 3.4%a fact that makes it practically impossible to get a device with this operating system to end up being a sales success. Losing Google’s services cost Huawei to lose its position in the smartphones market, and without a quick software response, the fate of its laptops seems similar.

A stabilization of poor electricity

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

In 2024 23.2% of Electricity of the Spanish Energy Mix It had a wind origin; 20%, nuclear; 17%, photovoltaic solar; 13.6%, combined cycle; 13.3%, hydraulic; and the rest proceeded from the burning of coal or other renewable sources. The accounts are very simple: during the year we have left behind More than 50% of electricity production It had a renewable origin. And presumably In 2025 the total energy balance It will not be very different. The Government of Spain has created an investigation commission that seeks to identify the causes of the total blackout that we suffer throughout the country on April 28. However, during the last days in the media and social networks Some experts have indicated the need for a country with such a high production of Energy of renewable origin have an effective stabilization system. The intermittent nature of renewable sources justifies this thesis. The Spanish energy mix needs a stabilization system of the robust network The figures that we have reviewed a few lines above Nuclear energy for the moment too holds an important contributionalthough in this article we are interested in repairing a very relevant difference between both forms of electricity generation: its continuous or intermittent character. Nuclear reactors produce energy in an essentially constant way as long as it is not necessary to undertake Fuel recharge or carry out installation maintenance operations. However, wind and photovoltaic energies, of course, depend on the availability of wind and solar radiation. This obvious behavior explains Why are intermittent energy sources. However, there is something that is not obvious: the electricity grid must maintain a permanent balance between generation capacity and consumption. The electricity grid must maintain a permanent balance between generation capacity and consumption This simply means that wind farms, nuclear plants, photovoltaic solar facilities, combined cycle plants and hydraulic plants that are connected to the Spanish electricity grid should be able to deliver at all times the electricity that is being sued. Otherwise there would be an imbalance between the generation capacity and the consumption that could trigger very important problems in the electricity supply. I could even justify a total blackout like the one we experienced just a week ago. The two parameters that we are interested in knowing to understand why this imbalance is problematic are the frequency and voltage or voltage. The Spanish electricity grid, like those of our European neighbors, works with alternating current at 50 Hz or cycles per second. When we investigate the panorama, the panorama is complicated a bit, but not too much. Electricity is distributed throughout the Spanish territory through a high voltage network that has 44,000 km of 220 kV and 400 kV lines. Once electricity is close to the points where intermediate substations will be consumed are responsible for reducing the voltage to 132 kV. In medium and low voltage networks, electricity has a voltage of 15 to 30 kV, and, finally, local transformers reduce it to 230 volts for domestic use in our homes and shops, OA 400 volts for industry and large consumption centers. The problem appears when for the reason that is the electrical infrastructure undergoes a significant deviation of frequency or voltage. Synthetic inertia systems that mimic the behavior of rotating masses can also help renewable to correct the imbalances between demand and generation quickly An important imbalance between the planned generation for renewables from meteorological models and real generation can cause it to occur an excess energy that is not assumed by consumption. Renewable sources do not have a mechanical inertia system that allows them to quickly correct that difference, so it is possible that a deviation of the frequency and tension of the ability to compromise infrastructure performance is tried. The nuclear and thermal plants, however, have a rotating mass that acquires the inertia necessary to cushion the sudden changes of their generation capacity. Fortunately, these imbalances can be avoided, but to do so it is essential to have energy storage systems or reversible pumping to deliver or absorb power when necessary. Synthetic inertia systems that mimic the behavior of rotating masses can also help renewables correct the imbalances between demand and generation quickly. Such a heterogeneous energy mix As Spanish can work properly, but it is essential that you have a stabilization of the robust and efficient electricity network. Otherwise the quality and reliability of the electricity supply will be compromised.

The extreme temperature in which the laws of physics we know stop operating

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

The absolute zero marks the minimum temperature at which something can be found and corresponds to -273.15º Celsius, or 0 Kelvin. Since heat is nothing other than movement, this temperature marks the total stillness, but what happens at the opposite end? Planck temperature. Although we are less familiar with the other extreme, Planck’s temperature, or the “absolute heat”, Another concept managed by contemporary physics. Here we might make emphasis on” contemporary physics “since, at this temperature, what we know of physics stops operating, which leaves us in an unknown terrain. How much heat are we talking about? Well around 142 quintillones Kelvin (K). Or what is the same, 1.42 · 10^32 degrees Celsius: the 273 degrees of difference between both scales are inconsequential on this scale. As a comparison, we can point out that the estimated temperature of the core of our sun is about 15 million Kelvinalthough the remnant nuclei of some supernovas can reach the billion degrees. Here on Earth, science has achieved even higher temperatures: More than 5 billion Kelvin in an experiment conducted in 2012 in the Great Hadron Colliding (LHC) of CERN. Defining the maximum. We indicated before the absolute zero in temperature was marked by the lack of movement, the absence of thermal energy. The temperature is an energy transfer measure, if something has no energy, It cannot transmit it. However, to find absolute heat we must go beyond thermodynamics and incorporate another area, that of quantum physics. To understand this limit, we must know that heat is associated with emissions in the electromagnetic spectrum. At more heat, more energy, shorter will be the frequency in this spectrum. Well, this spectrum is not infinite since the known universe has its own minimum distance, Planck’s distance. This minimum length Mark too The shortest wavelength and the maximum energy that we can introduce into a photon. It is therefore impossible to transfer more thermal energy. A rather theoretical idea. Planck’s temperature remains, as we pointed out before, far from both what we can see in the universe and what we are able to recreate in a laboratory. There was a time when it may not be so, since in the first moments after the Big BangThe universe would have reached this type of temperatures. But precisely the Big Bang It is one of those contexts in which the laws of physics as we understand them are not applicable. Beyond contemporary physics. The Big Bang is a clear example that there is physics that still escapes us, as are black holes. In both cases these are contexts so extreme that the description of what happens in them through the laws of physics we handle makes it impossible. However, we continue in the search for knowledge about these extremes and the laws that could operate on them. Probably, the long -awaited “theory” of all that unifies what we know about relativistic gravity with quantum physics can give us important clues about this border of heat and, above all, what may be beyond this.

We think we know ourselves. The “Johari Window” shows you with the eyes of those around you

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

Beyond the extremes that Robert Louis Stevenson described in his novel ‘The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ‘all people house a ‘I‘private and one public. However, many people do not really know their potential ‘I‘private, nor are they aware of How people perceive it of your surroundings. Knowing it is essential for many facets of life in society, but, above all, in the workplace and personal development. The Johari window It is a simple but powerful tool that allows visualize these differences and similaritieshelping people identify His hidden strengths and areas of improvement in social skills. Johari window: views in and out Johari’s window is A human interaction model created in 1955 by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, whose objective was to illustrate communication processes and Dynamics of human relations. The name “Johari” arises from the combination of their first names, Joseph and Harry. Currently, the Johari window It is used for different purposes: from the improvement of interpersonal communication and team collaboration, to the development of Leadership skills and the identification of hidden skills. Johari’s window allows people to better understand their behavior patterns, emotions and skills, facilitating both individual and collective growth in the members of a team. However, and despite being a very useful exercise, its results should not be taken as an absolute and definitive truth. Both the facet of self -knowledge, and the perception that other people have of you are subject to Subjective biases and perceptionsso its results must be taken as an indicative, not as a certainty. The four areas of the Johari window Johari’s window is divided into four quadrants that represent different types of information about a person: the public area, the blind area, the hidden area and the unknown area. The public or known area. It contains the features and behaviors that both the person and the others know. It is the visible and shared personality part, such as kindness or leadership capacity. The blind area. It includes aspects that others perceive, but that the person does not recognize in themselves. Identifying this quadrant is key to personal growth, since it reveals opportunities for improvement through the honest feedback of the people around you. The hidden area. It covers information that the person knows, but who decides not to share with others, such as thoughts, emotions or private experiences. The unknown area. It represents everything that neither the person nor their environment knows, including latent or potential skills not yet explored. Working this quadrant can open new development and learning opportunities. Have you heard about leaving your comfort zone? Because that can be an excellent way to explore this quadrant of the Johari window. Look at Johari’s window Using the Johari window for personal development implies an active process of self -assessment and openness to feedback by your environment. A first step is to make a list of strengths and weaknesses, and then ask friends, family or colleagues to describe How they perceive you. Compare these perceptions helps identify coincidences and differences, expanding the public area and reducing the blind. Honest feedback and willing to share personal information gradually are fundamental to expand the open area. In addition, pay attention to the reactions of others, reflect on what is hidden and experience Discover unknown aspects and strengthen self -awareness. In this way, it can be discovered that, you thought they were positive leadership values such as diligence and discipline, your environment can perceive it as a negative toxic behavior of narcissism and authoritarianism. Not only tell how you think you are, but How your environment perceives you. Above all, when part of a work team.

Apple has a very clear option not to be left behind in AI: Buy Anthropic

May 6, 2025 by usatoday24

The recent association between Apple and Anthropic to develop a platform of “Vibe-Coding“, as he said Bloomberg, It could be much more than a simple technological collaboration. It is the first act of what should become a much deeper union: a complete acquisition. Apple is at a historic crossroads in the AI race. Your association with Anthropic to integrate Claude Sonnet In Xcode it is an implicit admission that its internal development of AI does not advance with the necessary speed. Swift Assist, announced but never releasedIt remained as a symbol of Apple’s difficulties to compete in this field alone. While OpenAi, Google and Anthropic advance by leaps and bounds, Apple runs the risk of being relegated in the largest technological revolution since the smartphone. And that risk is growing. The acquisition of Anthropic would be a tectonic movement for both companies. For Apple, it would mean ensuring one of the most sophisticated language models in the market, particularly highlighted in programming tasks. For Anthropic, he would represent the support of one of the technological giants with the greatest financial capacity and global distribution. The combination of Excellence in Apple hardware and integration with the avant -garde in Anthropic (whose product quality is far ahead of its distribution capacity) would create a difficult synergy to match. Historically, Apple has prospered when you have acquired key technologies at key momentsintegrating them deeply into their ecosystem. The purchase of PA SEMI in 2008 laid the foundations for Apple Silicon chips. The Beats acquisition It was not only for the headphones, but by the streaming technology that would become Apple Music. Now, AI represents another turning point, where staying halfway between their own developments and external alliances would lead to a permanent disadvantage position. The price of acquiring Anthropic would be great, probably in the range of tens of billions, a magnitude in which Apple has never moved, used to much smaller purchases. But he has not done so does not mean that he cannot do it: he has more than 150,000 million in cash and would be a key strategic investment. It is not only a matter of acquiring technology, but of ensuring the future of its entire platform. While Tim Cook speaks of a hybrid approach with “certain own models”, the truth is that the real power will be in those who possess the best fundamental models. For Apple, Anthropic should not be only a temporary partner, but a permanent piece of his vision for the future of computer science.

But there is a detail that escapes in many conversations: It is still a startup. It is several times smaller than Microsoft or Google and faces an existential challenge that does not have so much to do with its products, but with money. That challenge has its own name: its peculiar organizational structure. The openai part that generates income, directed by Sam Altmanis controlled by a non -profit organization. This unconventional model has aroused doubts among investors. Altman proposed to restructure the company to attract more private capital and accelerate the path to a General Artificial Intelligence (AGI). The problem is that this plan has just received a blow. A difficult governance to sell. The Board of Directors has decided to maintain control from the non -profit entity, after opening conversations with the general prosecutors of California and Delaware. These authorities monitor the legal status of organizations of this type and could have blocked change. The announcement has made it public Bret Taylor, president of the Board, In an official statement from OpenAI. A victory for Musk. Elon Musk had sued Openai for that attempt at reorganization. He assured that the company had diverted from its initial purpose of developing a safe and oriented the good of humanity. The decision to preserve the original supervision partially reinforces its argument: the structure remains, at least for the moment. New model, but with the same control. Despite the other way around, Openai maintains another important change. It is expected that its commercial organization will operate as a public benefit corporation (PBC). The difference is that, instead of separating itself from the non -profit organization, it will continue to have the last word. Now they are negotiating how that supervision will be articulated, but everything indicates that it will be the non -profit organization that designates the members of the Board of the New PBC. This could hinder future financing rounds. Because in this OpenAi, which has not managed to transform completely, interest is not measured only into dividends, as investors would like.
