Some scientists have tested the “fasting 4: 3”. The results have been quite positive

by

He intermittent fasting It is perhaps the diet that has won the most popularity in recent years. The idea in broad strokes is not to focus on limiting what we eat but to limit the hours to which we do it. From this basic idea, there are several ways in which to limit our consumption depending on the hours and days we dedicate to fasting. Positive results. The last study in finding evidence of the effectiveness of these forms of dietary restriction has made it focusing on fasting 4: 3. The team responsible for the experiment observed that this form of fasting, in the context of a broad intervention that also included promotion of physical activity, led to a higher average reduction of the body mass of the participants in the study. 4: 3. In this analysis, the participants of the experimental group underwent the call Intermittent fasting 4: 3 (4: 3 IMF). This form of fasting implies limiting our caloric intake by 80% for three non -consecutive days per week. The intervenion was accompanied by a high intensity exhaustive program for weight loss. This program included behavioral support and recommendations to increase the physical activity of moderate intensity up to 300 minutes per week, explained the team responsible for the study. 12 months. For the analysis, the participants, 165 adults overweight or obesity were divided into two groups. The experimental group, which underwent the restriction described and a control group that underwent a caloric but constant caloric restriction diet in which caloric intake was reduced by about 34.3%. Both groups had the support intervention and in both cases diet and program were carried out for 12 months. “Modest” results. Although the difference between one group and another was “modest”, the team in charge of studying it observed that the experimental group reduced its body mass to a greater degree compared to the control group. The experimental group reduced its body mass in 7.6% on averagewhile in the control group the reduction was 5%. In addition, a greater proportion of participants in the experimental group managed to reduce their weight by 5% or more. In kilos, the average difference between one groups was almost 2.9 kg. The details of the work were published In an article In the magazine ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE. More than a matter of weight. There are diverse reasons that can lead to a person to lose weight. Aesthetics usually weighs a lot but the fact that overweight and obesity are risk factors in various diseases and disorders may be the most relevant. The causal interconnections that unite both factor are complex, so a lower body mass is not a good indicator of a health improvement. Therefore, the team also examined the effect of the diet on cardiometabolic markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, or fasting glucose levels. These markers showed an improvement, the team added. In Xataka | For many, skipping dinner is part of your intermittent fasting. It is not always a good idea Image | Xataka with Gemini

The most viral success of AI is at the same time a symptom of its problems as a daily product

by

The AI ​​had ceased to surprise us. And then the “ghiblation” of images and the Internet arrived He went crazy. In recent days we have lived a fever for converting all kinds of images –And even videos– To imitate the style of Miyazaki teacher and the mythical creations of his Studio Ghibli. The phenomenon has served to make AI at least for a few days again. And that is precisely the problem. Saturated from AI. The appearance of Chatgpt in November 2022 has unleashed an explosion of AI, but after the initial earthquake things have relaxed. Although there have been notable advances, we have “accustomed” to AI, and technology seems relegated to the background for most users. As my partner Javier Lacort said in his reflection of a few days ago, we have seen ourselves immersed in “an universe of impenetrable jargon that was moving the conversation about AI from the initial astonishment to arid technicism.” AI lives from “magical” moments. We saw it with Deepseek A few months ago, and we see it again with the Studio Ghibli style images. Until those “magical” moments occur, the AI ​​does not just set among the general public. There is certainly a moderate use among the population and there are also niches that use it intensively –The program of programmersfor example – but people lack something crucial: an App. What do you use AI? The current options are undoubtedly striking in the creative field and also as assistance for professional tasks, but for now the chatbots have not infiltrated our lives as they did for example internet search engines. They solved a more pressing problem – finding what one was looking for on the Internet – but for the moment AI does not have just replaced them and is not used massively. Looking for an AI that is a google for daily use. The search engine revolution is probably one of the inevitable conquests of the future for AI. We are seeing it with perplexity And the search engines that OpenAi so much Like Google itself They are offering users. These platforms will not totally move to the traditional search engine, but one thing is evident: every time we look more with Chatgpt ” – or any other chatbot – and the growth of that trend seems unstoppable. At the moment Gartner’s cycle of expectations is very well reflected the AI ​​phenomenon. It seems that we have reached the peak of oversized expectations, and we now fall into disappointment avism. Source: Wikimedia. Beware of disappointment abyss. The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) published these days these days A study conducted by 24 researchers from AI. It included a section entitled “Perception of the AI ​​VS reality”, and in it there was talk of the well -known cycle of expectations of Gartner. The consultant itself estimated that expectations and Hype For the generative AI had already exceeded its highest peak. AI is not so much (for the moment). 79% of the experts surveyed in that study indicated that the current public perception of AI capacities do not correspond to the Reality of research and development in this field. In fact, 90% claimed that this is conditioning the investigation, and of that figure 74% revealed that the areas in which they are being investigated are areas where there are still many expectations. So we are not going to get to the AGI. The most important companies in this area have a common goal: to achieve a AGIthe Holy Grail of Artificial Intelligence. However, these same experts do not have too much hope that we will develop it. 76% of the 475 respondents indicated how to climb (more data, more GPUS to train models) will not be enough to reach an AGI. We need a different approach, and those experts advocate prioritizing issues such as security, ethical governance and a gradual and more responsible innovation instead of this apparent frantic career that does not think about the consequences. Waiting for the next Bombazo of the AI. The fever for “ghibliization” seems to have relaxed significantly and surely in a few days or weeks it is blurred as a striking option more than one AI that excites us to pull – before the Grok 3 censorship imagesfor example – but do not conquer permanently. At the moment it seems that this will continue to be the norm, and now we are waiting for that next pull and perhaps that Killer App that can mark a turning point in the adoption of AI. OpenAI and his rivals need Hype. Meanwhile one thing is evident: what companies sell us (“we are close to the AGI” or “with AI you can do everything Better and faster“) is away from reality. They sell expectations and Hype. TOI remove the best example is OpenAi, which needs that message to continue raising Gigantic investment rounds that allow you to continue burning money As if there were no tomorrow.

There are women on Tiktok measuring their menstrual cycles with an intelligent ring: the popularization of ondoing

by

The smart ring has gained ground in the daily life of many people. This device Wearable It has proven useful to monitor health indicators, but the real impact has been among women.

He Ultrahuman Ring It is also gaining popularity among the different users, while the most famous watches, such as Apple Watch or those of Samsung, have not yet bet on this function. Comparing both rings, a user has pointed out That the main differences are aesthetic and the subscription model: while Oura requires a monthly payment, Ultrahuman no. In the era of measuring everything. In full boom of the Wearable And to measure all the parameters of the body, there was a technological blind spot that was leaving out in the middle of the population. According to A Scientedirect studyonly 12% of female health apps met basic medical standards. From the medium Cityam lo has attributed to a gender bias in Silicon Valley: “It was prioritized monitoring running on ovulation.” In this way, startups like Clue or Oura Ring They are trying to correct it, because technological ones had not yet noticed to cover this niche market, According to Femtech. To what extent can we trust? The Wearable Like Oura Ring with Natural Cycles They have represented A technological leap in monitoring the menstrual cycle, allowing women to have greater control over their reproductive health. However, Your reliability collapses Before irregular cycles, inconsistent use or factors such as stress, as well as in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (SOP) or endometriosis.

The United States Food and Medicines Administration (FDA) He has approved as an alternative without hormones for those women with regular cycles who wish to get pregnant with the rhythm method. In other words, the ring calculates that days is more or less likely, but it is not a contraceptive method as They explain Some gynecologists. In addition, some Tiktok users They have become pregnant for believing that this method worked. Although technology has advanced to satisfy a need for female health, it is important that the users are aware of the limitations and the “small print” that comes with this new device.

But if you think we have left an important function we invite you to tell us in the comments section. Use writing tools In the compatible applications, when you select a text that you have written or that you are going to send in cases of messaging apps, both in iOS and macOS you will have The option of Writing tools. These will allow you to use AI to review your text. You will be able to check the text to see if it is well written or rewrite it.

Also in recordings If you are a person who records voice notes, you should know that you will first be able to transcribe them, and then selecting the transcribed text You can open writing tools. This will allow you to make a summary or a list of key points of everything that has been said in the recording. Summary of articles in Safari Safari allows you to generate A summary of an article for AI. Thus, if you enter a page and see that everything it puts is very long, you will have a button on the iPhone and MAC to generate the summary and know the key ideas of what is written. It will be a short summary and without many details, but with key ideas and data. To find this option you have to Reading mode of safari in an article, clicking on the option of Show reader.

Integrates chatgpt in Siri Siri still has a redesign of functions, but for the moment it already allows you Integrate assistant chatpt. You can even link your OpenAI account so that if you have a payment account you can take advantage of its possibilities. The idea is that when you ask Siri a thing, if you can’t answer you, look for it in Chatgpt. This is done on the one hand that Siri is useful, and on the other that you do not need to have an app or a chatgpt shortcut. To activate this option Go to the section Apple Intelligence and Siri From the adjustments of your iPhone or your Mac, and there you can enable chatgpt. Ideally, in addition to linking your account is that you disable the option Confirm Petitions to ChatgPTso you don’t ask you every time if you want to throw that question at AI. Write a message or mail and send it with Siri “Write a WhatsApp message to and aúbal that says hello, how are you. With a voice command as simple as this is enough to Dictate to Siri a message you want to send In any messaging application, or even by email.

These are the most loved and hated millionaires, explained in a graphic

by

The most famous billionaires are not just business leaders, they have also become In media figures. Names that resonate in all homes and even influence In the political sphere. But there is something that clearly differentiates them: not all of them enjoy the sympathy of 99% of the world population that is not millionaire. While some generate admiration and respectothers generate very obvious opinions and levels of distrust and rejection. A survey Made by Reuters and Ipsos He asked 4415 American adults his opinion about some of the most outstanding millionaires of the Forbes Millionaires List. Some showed favorable opinions about them, others clearly unfavorable and others simply shrug because they had no idea who those gentlemen were. The portal Visualcapitalist He has collected all this data and has represented them in a much more enlightening graph that shows that, Being rich and famous does not guarantee to be popular Among your neighbors and countrymen. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates: Population favorites The Nonagenarian Inverter Warren Buffett, known as the “Oracle of Omaha”, leads the list of billionaires with greater popularity In the United States. His Austera and close personalityhas made 52% of the interviewees have a favorable opinion about the veteran millionaire. Only 26% of those who recognized him showed a negative opinion about him, and 18% recognized not knowing who that person was, despite having the fifth greatest fortune in the world. Buffett has been able to win the support of society Thanks to your simple lifestyle, your responsible investment approach and your commitment to philanthropy. Despite its imposing fortune of 165 billion dollars, its image transmits humility and common sensewhich makes it a reference well seen by many. For its part, Bill Gates is the great surprise of the table, occupying second place in terms of popularity, with 49% positive opinions. This perception has improved significantly from Gates left Microsoft’s direction And he put all his endeavor in philanthropy Through the Gates Foundation. However, with 43% of unfavorable opinions, its rejection index remains elevated. Gates has managed to position himself as a leader who seeks global solutions for problems Like public health and Climate changebut those causes have also put him in the spotlight of conspiracy theories The most diverse. That has made Microsoft the founder loved and hated almost in equal parts. For better or worse, Gates is one of the most popular millionaires in the world. Only 5% of the interviewees claimed not to know who that man was who claimed to have a assets of 108,000 million dollars. Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos: Famous, but hated Despite being in the top 3 ofThe greatest fortunes in the world According to the Forbes list, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg face the challenge of being widely recognized, but very little dear. You can’t have everything. Elon Musk, with a fortune of 357,000 million dollars, has 39% favorable opinions. However, your participation in the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), in charge of saying goodbye hundreds of thousands of federal officials have won all A animated wave that has left him with 55% of unfavorable opinions. However, Musk is not the only one has not managed to connect With public opinion. Jeff Bezos also records 55% of unfavorable opinions in the survey. Unlike Musk, Bezos only awakens sympathies between 29% of respondents. The rest of the interviewees missing to complete 100% of the bar of Bezos sympathies and hatred I simply did not know who it was, although most likely they have ever bought in their online store or seen a series on their video platform. In the case of Mark Zuckerberg, the figures are not encouraging. Despite having experienced A complete image change To tune with the rest of the members of his generation, the founder of Facebook stands as the billionaire with the highest percentage of rejection of the list. His image has been damaged by scandals related to Users privacy and the Influence of social networks In society, which has made its popularity fall leaving 64% of unfavorable opinions. Definitely, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like. Millionaires that neither fu nor fa Despite being key figures in the technological world, billionaires such as Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft ex-care; Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle; And the co -founders of Google, Larry Page and Serguéi Brin, are not as recognized by the general public as Elon Musk or Bill Gates. In fact, 65% of respondents He doesn’t know Steve Ballmerwhile Page and Brin They could walk quietly through a shopping center and 69% and 72% respectively of the people with whom they were crossed would not recognize them. However, among those who do recognize them, the perception is very divided. For example, Larry Ellison has only 13% of favorable opinions, while Steve Ballmer has a modest 16%. It is probably because they have not seen their Microsoft marketing campaigns in the 90s. This contrast shows that, although They founded influential companies And their contributions have revolutionized entire sectors, the lack of media exposure and polarization in public opinion makes them less relevant characters at the popular level. Reuters data reveal that the perception that Americans have about their richest billionaires not only depends on the size of their fortunes or that of their companies, but also measured by their personal decisions. On the other hand, those who maintain a low profile, such as Larry Page, Serguéi Brin and Larry Ellison, seem to live in a limbo of popularity, in which they can enjoy all the Advantages of being centimillonario, Without the inconveniences of being so recognizable like Elon Musk or Bill Gates.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on April 5

by

Saturday … restriction day. It could be a quiet day and without worries (and in fact it is for some) but it is also a day of taking a look at restrictions and being very attentive to what we have ahead. Because? Because the Sabatino does not circulate today. As you know, the program today does not circulate is devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with the aim of improving the quality of the air we breathe. As? Reducing the volume of cars that circulates through the streets. Less cars, less pollution. It is a simple formula that has its implications in the atmosphere. Therefore, although painful, it is a measure that is applied in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Having this clear and how you can see in the superior image, the does not circulate today can leave the door open to some doubts. And most of the days we are very clear how to act but what happens on Saturdays? Every day (also on Saturdays) the restrictions of today do not circulate are applied taking into account the hologram of each car and the last number of its plate. Depending on whether they are pairs or odd, they will have to rest on Saturdays. That, added to the hologram, leaves us the following three types of cars: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. So how can we avoid falling into the fines of today does not circulate sabbatino? Very simple, leaving the car at home when it touches. But you will wonder what “when it touches you.” That is what we are going to detail. Cars with Hologram 2 have to always stay at home. There is no doubt here. They are the most polluting cars and, therefore, they cannot be moved during the hours that are applied today does not circulate. On the contrary, cars with hologram 0 and 00 can circulate without problems. In this case they are cars considered as less polluting and, therefore, they can move with total freedom. Doubts can arrive with hologram 1. In that case, restrictions are rotary. The first weekend of the month, cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number rest. Next week are cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in number Par rest. And thus, week by week it is rotating. Therefore, this Saturday, April 5, 2025will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those who will have to leave their cars at home. Despite this, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

In his obsession to end the noisy motorcycles, the EU has just knew the coup of grace

by

The sound of motorcycles has no midpoint: either it puts your nerves or your hair bristles every time you hear it. The second group is quite a niche and, in general, noisy motorcycles are a problem within the urban environment, so the European Union has decided to end them forever. Changes. EC 92.03 regulations legalizes a historical change that will affect, and much, both to the motorcycle industry As to the auxiliary industry of its star complement, the exhaust pipes. From now on, any motorcycle manufactured with the new anti -antaminant regulations will not be able to extract the DB Killer. What is the DB Killer. The most changed accessory on motorcycles is the exhaust pipe. In some cases to earn an extra CV, and mostly to improve the sound of the motorcycle. As its name indicates, the DB Killer is the internal silencer of the exhaust tube, normally screwed. This causes escape gases to pass through a narrower and more perforated channel, reducing the volume. In most cases, the escapes of the auxiliary industry have a removable dB, allowing to increase the sound of the motorcycle in a very simple way in minutes. What the EU says about him. The new EC 92.03 regulation says goodbye completely to the DB Killer. Exhaust systems manufacturers must comply with this new legislation, and may not manufacture approved escapes that allow the silencer to be extracted. These measures apply to street motorcycles, so manufacturers who want to sell escapes that comply with Euro regulations will have to stick to restriction. The only sale scenario for the DB Killer will be the circuit use, with escapes that will continue for sale, but will not be approved for circulation in street. An obsession that comes from afar. Especially noisy motorcycles have been focusing on the European Union for a long time. The Euro 4 regulations, approved in 2016, limited the noise to 80 dB. Euro 5 began including moving tests and with the new Euro5+ and Futura EURO6 The controls are expected to remain increasingly restrictive. Beyond limitations in homologation, there are already European countries devising systems to avoid noise in its cities. The Noise radars They work in countries like France, capable of photographing every vehicle that overcomes the allowed noise in decibels. Precedents. In countries such as Austria it is not possible to circulate with motorcycles that They exceed 95db in stopa regulation that does not apply to cars. Others, such as Germany, restrict the circulation of motorcycles on weekends by certain routes, and have been enabling noise sensors that warn about whether the motorcycle is noisy.

34% for all US products

by

On April 2, 2025, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced the implementation of the “reciprocal tariffs” to regulate imports. Thus, the United States It imposes extraordinary tariffs ranging from 20% applied to the EU at 32% of Taiwan and up to 46% of Vietnam. But if there is a clear rival in this critical regular commercial war, it is China, to which Trump already “punished” with some tariffs of 34%. What has China done? Return exactly the same punishment to the US. China imposes tariffs of 34% to the US. China has announced which will impose additional tariffs of 34% to the imports that China makes of the United States. The measure is produced in response to the tariffs announced by Donald Trump this week. After yesterday’s announcement, the total taxes of the United States to their Chinese imports will approach 60%. These are some of the countries most affected by the tariffs announced by Donald Trump, and the value of imports of those countries/blocks in 2024 in billions of dollars. Source: CNN. Intimidation. From Beijing, they emphasize that “the United States actions do not conform to the rules of international trade, seriously undermine China’s legitimate rights and interests and are a typical example of unilateral intimidation.” Tit for tat. The reprisals that have occurred in China also threaten to occur throughout the planet. Canada has imposed 25% tariffs on American cars, for example, and the EU It has already indicated that prepares his answer “if the negotiations fail.” Black Friday for bags. Ibex 35, the most affected, falls 5.5% and other European bags are falling falls between 1 and 2%. While, The collapse of technological valueswhich had already been pronounced yesterday, it will aggravate even more. Before the opening of the markets “The Magnificent” fall between 4 and 6%. Sight recession. The analysts of the JPMorgan consultant do not stop reviewing their forecasts regarding the possibility that the United States enters recession this year, and right now They estimate it by 60%. Before Trump’s announcement on Wednesday that estimate was 40%. Unknown effects. This total commercial war initiated by the US raises colossal collateral efectos. As they point out In the countryone of them can be “the diversion of products that until now could be sold in the first world economy” and that Now they will look for other destinations like the EU.
