TSMC will manufacture its best chips on American soil, although presumably they will be 30% more expensive

by

Taiwan’s silicon shield It has definitely fallen. The government of this island was determined to protect its economic interests preventing TSMC from manufacturing integrated circuits abroad using your most advanced lithography nodes. This plan entered into conflict with the expansionist strategy of the semiconductor manufacturer most important on the planetespecially at a juncture in which the US is forcing the displacement of chips manufacturers to their own territory. “Since Taiwan has regulations that seek to protect their own technologies, TSMC cannot produce 2 nm chips abroad today,” Jw Kuo saidMinister of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, on November 8 during a meeting of the Taipéi Economy Committee. “Although TSMC PLANS MANUFACTURE 2 NM CHIPS Abroad in the future, its central technology will remain in Taiwan. “ Kuo’s statements reflected at that time that TSMC could not produce integrated 2 Nm circuits in the US or Europe until it was ready its lithography A14 (1.4 Nm). From that moment the latter would remain in Taiwan and could move the production of 2 Nm chips to other countries. For TSMC this restriction was a problem. And it was because the demand for its most advanced integrated circuits is very high because of the undoubted success that semiconductors are having for applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Chips manufactured by TSMC in the US will be 30% more expensive, according to Walter Bloomberg Finally, the Taiwan government has moderated its protectionist strategy. Jw Kuo He pronounced again In the middle of last January to declare that TSMC may produce 2 Nm chips in its US plants, although the Taiwanese administration will cautiously evaluate the use of this technology in the country led by Donald Trump. “Private companies must make their own commercial decisions covered in their own technological progress (…) TSMC is building factories in the US with the purpose of serving their US clients because 60% of the world’s chips designer companies are based precisely in the US. “ Lisa su and CC Wei have taught the first EPYC ‘Venice’ chip produced in the N2 (2 nm) node of TSMC Today, just four months later, we can be sure that the manufacture of integrated 2 NM circuits on a large scale in the TSMC plants in Arizona (USA) will arrive. Lisa her, the general director of AMD, and CC Wei, the president and general director of TSMC, have taught the first Epyc Chip ‘Venice’ produced in node N2 (2 nm) of this last company. This CPU has been manufactured in Taiwan, but both managers They have confirmed their commitment When strengthening the production of the plants that TSMC is putting ready in Arizona. The first of these factories is about to produce large -scale chips, but its plan does not end here. The second plant will be operational in 2028 and will produce integrated circuits in N3 (3 Nm) and N2 (2 Nm) nodes. And finally, the third factory will not be listed at all until the end of this decade and will produce chips in the N2 (2 nm) node. At the current situation and under the pressure of the US government, which is Pertrechado with its tariff policyit is very likely that the production of 2 Nm semiconductors in Arizona arrives long before 2028. It is not official information, but in the current circumstances it is a very reasonable forecast. However, there is something else that is worth not overlooking. According to G. Dan HutchesonAnalyst in Techinsights, producing a 300 mm wafer in the new Arizona plant costs TSMC less than 10% more than manufacturing that same wafer in one of its Taiwan facilities. It is explained by something that we should not overlook: the cost derived from labor represents less than 2% of the total cost. However, according to the financial journalist Walter Bloomberg TSMC will increase the price of integrated circuits produced by 30% in the US to compensate for the costs triggered by tariffs on the production equipment of imported chips from Europe and Japan. The Government led by Donald Trump has not yet revealed how the import tariffs of photolithography machines used by TSMC, Intel or Samsung plants in the US will affect the import tariffs. Will do it within a period Not exceeding two months. But it seems that Bloomberg assumes that the increase in chips will arrive. We’ll see.

An American who wants to dedicate him to tourism

by

For years Castro Saltoa town in the municipality of Fonfría, west of Zamora, stood out above all for two reasons: its idyllic Natural environmentin full reserve of the Iberian plateau biosphereand above all his link with the neighbor of Castro. In fact the village It was created to welcome employees who work in the hydroelectric installation and was injured in death In the late 80s when he was automated and his presence there ceased to be indispensable. Now Salto de Castro is famous for something else: it has become one of the great symbols of The emptied Spain. After a complex recent story, marked by abandonment and its Departure and reentry In the real estate market, an entrepreneur claims to have bought it to dedicate it to tourism. The most curious thing is that the businessman is from the US, he barely speaks Spanish and never had Europe before. In a place of the line … Salto de Castro is part of the municipality of Fonfría, Zamora province, but is closer to Portugal than from the Zamora capital. Located next to the line this small town formed by 44 homeslodge, bar, pool, church, sports facilities and a barracks was driven In the mid -twentieth century by Iberduero To welcome the workers (and families) who worked in the Castro dam, located right next to each other. From Iberduero to Idealista. In 40 Salto de Castro welcomed the workers who raised the dam and during the following decades it worked as a hydroelectric town, just like others many distributed For Spain. TO late 80s That changed. His employees and the Civil Guard post were relocated and the town was touched, converted into A ghost town that attracted curious … and occasionally to some businessman who dreamed of taking advantage of his idyllic environment to turn him into A tourist complex. For a time the town was owned by a Galician society. Then, in 2022, He went to hands of the person responsible for a construction company of Toledo for 300,000 euros. Neither with one nor with the other came to take off. Shortly after idealist announced that the town was on sale for 580,000. Although then I know slid that there were interested buyers from Saudi and Miami, in the end Everything points that its owner has not left the Middle East or Florida, but from the west coast of the US. “I knew it was my future”. The last name to sneak into the history of Villa is that of Jason Lee Beckwitha Californian with a profile quite different from that of the previous owners of the town: Jason is from the US, he spent a large part of his professional life in a printing press, a business of Bed & Breakfast In your country and at least until recently He barely spoke Spanish nor had Europe stepped on. Neither one thing nor the other threw back in his last project: to become the owner of Salto de Castro. The reason? One day, while looking for options to continue with his hospitality vocation on the other side of the Atlantic, he learned that there was a town for sale right on the border between Spain and Portugal. “It was as if a switch was lit on my head”, He reported Recently to the EFE agency. His wife, Brazilian, did not seem too excited about the idea, but Jason had just decided when visiting the town in person. “I knew that this was my future,” he says. From plans to euros. Throughout the last months the name of Jason and his sudden love for Salto de Castro has starred news in means from all over the country, regional, state And even foreigners. In them the Californian has been renovating his plans for the town and has also given brushstrokes of something equally crucial: the economic part. In January Jason He confirmed the mayor of Fonfría that he had already made a first payment to “acquire the town to the former owners.” This same week, in one of his Last interviewsgranted to Efe, went further and slid that he would have already bought the town by about 310,000 euros. Of course, recovering the old buildings and carrying out the project you have in mind will cost you much more. Jason estimates that the total investment could stem the five million of euros. There is talk about eight million To restore the entire area. A project, a Crowdfunding. For now there is already active A campaign of microenazgo to his name in Gofundme with an ambitious objective: to raise $ 300,000. “With this first collection of funds it is intended to complete the acquisition of the village and the land that surround it, hire a specialist in subsidies and aid, complete the studies on the main systems of the village, prepare a precise general budget/calendar and start working in the church,” Point out The campaign. At the moment he has managed to gather 500 dollars with half a dozen contributions, even far from the 300,000 marked as a goal in Gofundme, where other sources of income are needed that consider their drivers to continue with the project, including subsidies and subsidies. A few days ago Jason Lee explained to The newspaper which is about to “complete the paperwork” to complete the transfer of the town, which could be closed “even several months earlier.” And what is in mind? Basically return to life Saltro, orienting it to tourism Without ruling out The possibility of rentals for long stays. In An interview granted in February Zamora’s opinionJason explained that he had in mind to offer different types of accommodation: “luxury villas”, “Boutique Apartments” and “A shelter with several bedrooms” for travelers with more tight budgets. Another market in which it aspires to fishing is that of the Digital nomads. “My goal is to open a hotel, shelter and there will also be short and long -term apartment rentals for those who want to change the … Read more

Right now there are 4500 North American students advised psychologically by a chatbot. It’s just the beginning

by

Right now, while I write this, there are about 4,500 North American students being “psychologically advised” Through an application Sonny called. It is nothing surprising. In the US, around 17% of secondary schools have no counselor or school psychologist. Most of them are in rural areas or in economically depressed zones and applications of this type bring psychosocial assistance to everyone. The problem is not that. The problem is that Sonny is An artificial intelligence chatbot. Is the chatbot? Let it be put. The idea is not new: in fact, it is one of the first ideas that comes to everyone worried about mental health. In the last 50 years We have concluded that psychotherapy is tremendously effective. For now we have not been able to climb it: that is the promise of the chatbots. Sonny’s example Help to understand it: Students have access to chatbot 18 hours a day (from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.) and the “Solo” service costs each district between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000. Much less than a school advisor to use. It is true that it is not so effective that the counselor, but for many environments it is the best that can be allowed. And, in fact, according to some of its users explainbeyond its final therapeutic effectiveness, these types of approaches allow school to identify almost real problems among students. In Berryville (Arkansas), they discovered that more than half of the users sent messages just before exams and allowed them to develop emotional support interventions. Is this the future? A couple of years ago, Zara Abrams published an extensive analysis In the American Psychological Association, where it was concluded that “artificial intelligence chatbots (AI) can make therapy more accessible and less expensive.” Just what Sonny does. However, as also explained Abrams“Despite the potential of AI, there are still reasons to worry: the tools used in the health field have discriminated people depending on their race and disability status and there are malicious chatbots have widespread erroneous information, They have professed their love for users either They have sexually harassed minors“That is precisely what Sonny tries to avoid. How is it possible? In principle, as they explain from the company, Sonny has a team of people with “experience in psychology, social work and online support” that supervise and even rewrite the Bot responses. Each technician supervises between 15 and 25 chats at the same time. It is the form that has HEALTH mental soundthe company behind the app, to avoid the great original sin of the LLM: its tendency to delir, fantasize and give advice that may not be correct. In addition, the hybrid chatbot is designed to notify parents and teachers to the slightest possibility of danger (either for oneself or for others). Have you solved the problem? The truth is that we do not know (because there are no studies on it), but it is honestly unlikely that they have achieved it: we are in a very early phase as for trust that all associated problems are resolved. But it is a radical step. As Abrams said, It is possible that “psychologists and their abilities are irreplaceable”, but since the arrival of AI is inevitable we have to bet on a “reflexive and strategic implementation.” Something that, indeed, is very similar to saying anything. There is much that we still do not know and, therefore, making concrete predictions is dangerous. What is clear is that the question is not if we will have gpteraputas, we already have them. The question is how we can use them to Not worsening the attention that is being given today (a temptation always preset) and turn them into a key tool to reduce human suffering. Let’s hope to answer it soon. Image | Dream / Sigmund In Xataka | 50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

half billion dollars to invest in American soil

by

Apple has promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States over the next four years, which lasts a legislature, in what seems like a maneuver to avoid Trump’s tariff threat. What has happened. Apple has announced This Monday an investment of 500,000 million dollars and the creation of 20,000 jobs in the United States over the next four years. The plan includes … A new AI servers factory in Houston, which will open in 2026. An industrial training center in Detroit. Why it is important. This investment represents the greatest financial commitment in Apple’s history and is a remarkable increase compared to previous ads: In 2021, during the Biden administration, Apple promised to invest 430,000 million in the US in five years. The press release that Apple published then is it still available. In 2018, during Trump’s first term, he promised to contribute 350,000 million to the US economy. The note too is it still available. The context. Apple manufactures most of its devices in China through Foxconn. The Trump government has just imposed 10% tariffs on all Chinese products this month, and threatens to extend them to other important commercial partners. TSMC, Taiwanese manufacturer, has already begun producing chips for Apple at its Arizona facilities, a project initiated during the Biden administration that received 6,600 million in federal subsidies. Between bambalins. The announcement comes just a few days after the meeting between Tim Cook and Donald Trump, who hinted last week that the company was changing its plans to avoid tariffs. “They don’t want to be in tariffs,” Trump saidsuggesting that Apple had canceled Construction projects in Mexico. Between the lines. Although Apple presents investment as a commitment to American innovation, UBS analysts cited by NBC They doubt that the company can really deploy such amount of money within the announced period, given its history and its dependence on foreign suppliers. Apple’s strategy to avoid tariffs follows the same pattern as during Trump’s first mandate: allow the president to attribute the merit of initiatives that were already underway or planned. Meanwhile, its large products as the iPhone continue to manufacture entirely outside the country. In Xataka | This is how Apple Intelligence works in Spanish.

Judge hears lawsuit over Trump’s order to cancel birthright citizenship

by

A federal judge in Seattle will hear first arguments Thursday in a lawsuit filed by several states seeking to block President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship regardless of parents’ immigration status. Federal Judge John Coughenour scheduled the session to consider the request from Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and Washington. The case is one of five lawsuits brought by 22 states and several immigrant advocacy groups across the country. The lawsuits include personal testimony from prosecutors who are U.S. citizens by birthright, and names of pregnant women who fear their children will not become U.S. citizens. The order signed by Trump on the day of his inauguration is scheduled to go into effect on February 19. It could affect thousands of people born in the country, according to one of the lawsuits. In 2022, there were approximately 255,000 births of citizen children to mothers living in the country illegally and approximately 153,000 births to both parents in such a situation, according to the lawsuit filed by the four states in Seattle. The United States is among about 30 countries where birthright citizenship, the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil,” applies. Most are in the American Continent, including Canada and Mexico. The lawsuits argue that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to people born and naturalized in the country and states have interpreted the amendment that way for a century. Ratified in 1868 after the Civil War, the amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside.” Trump’s order affirms that children of non-Americans are not subject to US jurisdiction and directs federal agencies not to recognize citizenship for children who do not have at least one parent who is a citizen. A key case on the issue unfolded in 1898. The Supreme Court held that Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the country. After a trip abroad, he faced denial of reentry by the federal government on the grounds that he was not a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some advocates of immigration restrictions have argued that that case clearly applied to children born to parents who were both legal immigrants. They say it is less clear whether it applies to children born to parents who do not have a residence permit. Trump’s executive order prompted attorneys general to share their personal connections to birthright citizenship. For example, Connecticut state Attorney General William Tong, a birthright U.S. citizen and the nation’s first elected Chinese American attorney general, said the lawsuit was personal to him. “There is no legitimate legal debate on this issue. But the fact that Trump is completely wrong will not stop him from causing serious harm right now to American families like mine,” Tong said this week. One of the lawsuits includes the case of a pregnant woman, identified as “Carmen,” who is not a citizen, but has lived in the United States for more than 15 years and has a pending visa application that could give her permanent residency status. “Depriving children of the ‘priceless treasure’ of citizenship is a serious injury,” the lawsuit says. “It denies them the full membership in American society to which they are entitled.”
