announced

Xiaomi has copied in months what BMW announced as a three -year revolution seen. It is the best example of how the industry is

by

On March 16, 2023 we wrote in Xataka that BMW prepared the launch of a head-up display (HUD) in its Neue Klasse. Then it was already warned that we would see it, for the first time, in a car on the street in 2025. The chosen one is the new generation of the BMW series 3, which promises to be a revolution for the brand in many ways. What BMW announced two years seen, Xiaomi has put it on the street a few months. 2023. How many screens are too many screens? With these words we titled in Xataka Our article on BMW’s announcement to put on the market a head-up display little less than infinity. One that crossed the entire width of the vehicle and that will serve to offer precise and personalized information for each passenger. The strategy continues to delve on the path that the company has taken. In recent years, BMW has been one of the companies that More has opted to give it personality To its infotainment systems with very good quality and size screens in the center, instruments of instruments at the height and an HUD with graphics of all kinds. He has even put A huge screen for rear passengers of the most expensive Berlina. Two years of the same. But two years later we remain the same. He BMW Panoramic Vision He surprised first but began to lose strength as time has passed. We have seen it in the CES de Las Vegaswe have seen it At the Münich Mobility Fairwe have seen it, again, in the advances of the future Neue Klasse… In short, the launch of a functionality that Xiaomi, which put on the market its first car a year ago has just presented for its future electric SUVs, has been priming two years. Taking into account that the first car we see from that Neue Klasse It will arrive at the end of 2025everything indicates that Xiaomi is going to pass the German firm on the right. Hypervision Hud. This is what this alternative to the BMW HUD is called that will incorporate the Xiaomi Yu7. As we have seen during your presentation, the projection on the windshield will occupy the entire width of the vehicle and inform the passengers of the information that most interest them. For example, in front of the driver we will have the instrument chart and in the central area of ​​navigation. But the car also has specific graphics for when it is stopped carrying the battery or we want to select a specific music album. The image of Lei Jun, CEO of the company, with all the graphics that the driver has available to configure that giant HUD to his liking is shocking. We read, for example, data on consumption, driving assists, browser, a stopwatch … More than a novelty. The incorporation of this panoramic hud into the new Xiaomi electric car is not only an aesthetic novelty, it is a clear example of how the industry is. Each announcement of the European industry has years (yes, years) of planning, development and implementation. In China, however, it is deciding and executing in record time. Kevin Williams, journalist of InsideevsI explained it well in an article entitled I have been in China and led dozens of electric cars. Western manufacturers are lost. In him he explained how the interiors of Chinese cars had overwhelmed him on a trip to the country and how far from Europe. Also our partner Javier Lacort had the opportunity to sit in an ultra xiaomi or check Where is Byd and its luxury brands In the Asian country. In Xataka We have had the opportunity to speak between scenes with workers from Chinese brands such as Byd or the Chery group that have passed through European companies of the Volkswagen or Stellantis group. All of them have confirmed that Chinese companies work at an inconceivable pace for the European industry. An anecdote that is not so much anecdote. In fact, one of these workers told us that when he worked for the Volkswagen Group every small change in the touch of the car or in the equipment, a bureaucratic tangle, the filter of various departments and, in the best case, the approval to be implemented in the update of half commercial life or in the next generation. That is, these changes would come years later. However, in Xataka We have known that one of these Chinese brands was testing preserving units in Spain that did not like in their first test in terms of tires and tact of the direction referred to. Between two and three later, those cars reached the market with all the changes in equipment and touch of the direction already carried out. It is not the only case. Beyond these two specific cases, the rhythm to which China is subjecting the news launches in electric cars is putting the ropes against the way of acting to the industry. In Europe we continue to announce the launch of “Cheap” electric cars two and three years old. Meanwhile, Byd has just brought to the European market the Byd Dolphin Surf that with aid and discounts can remain in less than 12,000 euros. Another good example is Volkswagen. Its software and platform development strategy has been such a disaster that they burned billions in the development of only two cars (Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan Electric) that, In addition, they were delayed. In fact, the group came to send engineers to China to learn from their work methods and has reached an agreement with Xpeng To provide Audi with a new platform. Nor does Renault escape. Luca de Meo, his CEO, He has reiterated On multiple occasions that one of China’s competitive advantages is that they work at a much faster rate than that of Europeans.

Google has just announced the closest to the holographic science fiction: Project Beam

by

Videollamar have been useful for years. A solution that works, although with obvious limitations. See and hear the other person is fine, but the Sensation of real closeness It is still far away. Google has been trying to solve that problem for some time, and now has decided to take a more determined step to get it. That step is called Beam. It is the new name of a technology that we already knew as Project Starline, an experimental proposal that sought to recreate the experience of a three -dimensional face -to -face conversation, and that we had the opportunity to try last year. Now, that idea evolves in the form of a platform. Beam was born as a communications system designed to integrate into real environments, supported by the infrastructure of Google Cloud and enhanced with advanced artificial intelligence models. A conversation with volume, not only with image. Google Beam’s key is in its volumetric video model. A IA -based system that transforms a 2D video signal into a realistic three -dimensional representation, visible from any angle. When combined with a type screen Light Fielda sense of depth is achieved that allows to maintain visual contact, interpret expressions and generate more natural communication. According to Google, this helps generate trust and understanding as if the conversation were face -to -face. The objective declared by the company is to create more significant connections between people, wherever they are. To achieve this, Beam relies on two fundamental pillars: the reliability and scalability of Google Cloud, and his experience accumulated in artificial intelligence (AI). Everything designed to integrate without friction in existing workflows. Real -time translation without giving up naturalness. Beam not only focuses on the image. It also wants to facilitate understanding. One of the most striking functions is real -time voice translation, now available today in Google Meet. It allows to maintain a fluid conversation between people who speak different languages, retaining the tone, cadence and expressions of each interlocutor. The result is a more natural conversation, where technology is perceived less and connection between people, more. For Google, this functionality is just the beginning. His long -term vision is clear: to ensure that anyone, anywhere in the world, can be seen and understood with total clarity. Beam arrives at work. At the moment, Beam points to the professional environment. Google has announced an agreement with HP to launch the first compatible devices, which will reach selected customers this year. It should be noted that it does not work with any configuration. These devices will have several cameras to capture the subject from different angles. In addition, the company is collaborating with companies such as Zoom, Diversified and AVI-SPL to integrate this technology into different corporate environments. Great organizations have already shown interest, including Deloitte, Salesforce, Citadel, Nec, Hackensack Meridian Health, Duolingo and Recruit. From Deloitte, for example, they emphasize that Beam is not only a technological advance, but a way of rethinking how we connect in the digital age. A clear promise. Be there without being. This is Beam’s central idea. It is not just a technical improvement, but an evolution in the way of communicating. Beam wants to talk to someone at a distance does not feel like a video call, but as a face -to -face conversation.

He is already testing his 1.4 nm lithography and has announced when he will arrive

by

2025 will be the year in which the 2 Nm chips will take off. During the next months TSMC, Intel and Samsung will start large -scale production of this type of integrated circuits. However, each of these companies is found in a very different situation. The Taiwanese TSMC leads the market with a fee of approximately 60% and has closed A very successful 2024. In addition, Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Mediatek, Intel and Qualcomm have already officialized their intention to formalize orders for their 2 Nm integration technology. Samsung’s starting point is less comfortable than TSMC’s. This South Korean company is reassessing your expansion plans and adjusting its template with the purpose of facing the future with the maximum possible guarantees. Of course, it is prepared to start large -scale production of 2 nm chips. Intel, meanwhile, is facing one of the most difficult stages Of all its history. Even so, Ben Sell, Vice President of Technology Development, confirmed At the end of last September that the 18A node already has the maturity necessary to enter large -scale production in 2025. Integrated 1.4 NM circuits of TSMC will arrive in 2028 TSMC has confirmed that the tests of its 2 Nm node are being successful, so you can start large -scale manufacturing of semiconductors using this photolithography during the second semester of 2025. However, its medium -term plans do not end here. Just a few hours ago this company has held its Technological Conference of North America and has anticipated which is also testing its next avant -garde integration technology. It will call it A14 (1.4 Nm), will enter large -scale production in 2028 and we already know some of its most interesting characteristics. TSMC has made public some figures that allow us to assess to what extent the arrival of the A14 node will be important One of its most important spots will consist that you will use transistors Nanosheet Gaa (Gate-alall-around) Second generation. The first generation will arrive next to the Lithography N2 (2 Nm) this year. In addition, this integration technology will land with the promise to make possible the manufacture of integrated circuits with higher performance, higher energy efficiency and a more flexible design. The usual. However, TSMC, fortunately, has been wet and in its event some figures have made public that allow us to assess to what extent the arrival of the A14 node will be important. And, according to this company, the integrated circuits produced with the A14 lithography will be 15% faster than the chips manufactured in the NEN N2 with the same consumption; They will reduce energy expenditure by 30% at the same speed, and, in addition, they will put on the table the possibility of increasing the density of logic by 20%. According to Kevin ZhangSenior Vice President and Deputy Director of Operations of TSMC, the A14 node will be attractive to make chips for consumption devices and for strictly professional applications, such as, for example, GPU for artificial intelligence (AI). As we have seen, TSMC hopes to start the large -scale manufacture of 1.4 Nm semiconductors in 2028, but at that time this integration technology will only have taken its first step. And it is likely that In 2029 a review of the lithography A14 is readyand presumably in 2030 the high performance and low cost versions of this node will arrive. This is the usual as long as TSMC sets a new integration technology. In fact, The nodes N4 nodes (4 NM), which is constituted by integration technologies N4, N4P and N4X, are improved Integration Technology N5 (5 Nm).

He has just announced his first nuclear submarine

by

Russia and North Korea have been idilio with All types of gifts. It all started in April 2024, when we saw Kim Jong a A armored limousine that came with Moscow loop. Since then, between both nations they The “packages” have happened: tigers, bears, raw, missiles, soldiers… lack of official confirmation, everything seems to indicate that the fears of the United States and its allies about the “nuclearization” of Korean with Russian aid is underway. There are even photos of the last “toy.” The first nuclear submarine. North Korea has confirmed that he is building Your first nuclear submarine with the aim of strengthening its attack capacity with atomic weapons. In A report Published on the weekend by the state agency KCNA (Korean Central News Agency), the images showed the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspecting a part of what seems to be the new submarine, one of significantly larger size than those currently owned by the Nation. No doubt, the announcement occurs in a context of growing international concern, especially in the United States and South Korea, since both nations fear that Russia is providing Technological support to Korea from the north to modernize its army in exchange for Supply of troops and weapons conventional for the War in Ukraine. The context of the project. What we officially know is that, during his visit to an unidentified naval shipyard, Kim Jong-un He received a report on the advances in the construction of the “strategic submarine of guided nuclear propulsion missiles”. The state media also spread photographs in which the helmet of said submarine under construction is observed, which would mark the first time North Korea shows visual evidence of a nuclear submarine in development. In this regard, it is known that the nation has dozens of submarines of the Soviet era, All diesel-electricalwhich means that they must frequently emerge to recharge their batteries, limiting their autonomy and stealth capacity in long -range missions. Hence, a nuclear propulsion submarine is A paradigm shift that would allow Pyongyang to operate covert in distant waters, approaching without being detected to strategic objectives and, if necessary, launch nuclear missiles from unexpected positions. Possible characteristics. The submarine could belong to the class 6,000 to 7,000 tons and transport up to 10 missiles, According to Moon Keun-SikSpecialist in Submarines and Professor at Hanyang University in Seoul. Obviously, the mention of “guided strategic missiles” in the report suggests that the boat would be designed to Port nuclear weaponswhich would significantly increase the attack capacity of North Korea. As we indicated before, if this project materializes, it would give Pyongyang the ability to launch missiles from a submerged platform, which would make the early detection of its attacks more difficult by its rivals. In fact, the United States National Security Council, through its spokesman Brian Hughes, said that I was aware of the statements North Korea, although it did not provide additional information. “The United States is still committed to the complete denuclearization of North Korea,” he reiterated. Kim’s wishes. We said it at the beginning. Since 2021Kim Jong-un identified the construction of a nuclear submarine as one of the priorities of its defense policy. However, until now, analysts have indicated that the nation lacked the technical and engineering capacity to develop a compact nuclear reactor capable of propeller a submarine. That year the “leader” presented A “wish list” which included intercontinental ballistic missiles of solid fuel, hypersonic weapons, spy satellites, missiles with multiple nuclear heads and finally nuclear propulsion submarines. What has changed? Moscow. Russia appears. With the growing military cooperation Between Pyongyang and Moscow, the possibility that Russia provides technological assistance in exchange for the Thousands of soldiers and large amounts of ammunition that North Korea has sent to support the Russian invasion in Ukraine. According to Yang Moo-JinPresident of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, this strategic exchange is the one that will significantly accelerate the development of the North Korean nuclear submarine. The expert in submarines Moon Keun-Sik argued that Russia was behind providing technological assistancepossibly in the construction of a compact nuclear reactor to propel the submarine. He even ventured to estimate that if North Korea manages to complete development, the submarine could be tested in the next one or two before its operational deployment. The precedent of 2023 and the doubts. The announcement of this new submarine comes after North Korea will present in 2023 Its first “nuclear tactical attack submarine”, a model based on an old diesel submarine of the Soviet era, supposedly modified to launch nuclear missiles. The problem? That the South Korean army He expressed skepticism On the viability of the vessel, pointing out that its design seemed defective and not very operational. To date, in fact, there is no evidence that North Korea has managed to launch missiles From that platform. In contrast, the new submarine, according to experts, seems to be a larger size to the 2023 model And it would take the title of “Strategic Submarine of Guided Missions of Nuclear Propulsion”, which suggests that it would be designed to launch both nuclear ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Strategic implications and danger. If North Korea manages to successfully develop an operational nuclear submarine, it would significantly change the military balance in the region, increasing Pyongyang’s capacity to perform those surprise attacks that we commented and hindering the detection of its launch platforms. In addition, the possibility that Russia and North Korea Expand your cooperation military generates a serious concern for the United States, South Korea (and Japan), which could face a more sophisticated and difficult threat to counteract in the coming years. Although there are still doubts about the real ability of North Korea to complete a project of these characteristics without foreign assistance, the growing relationship with Moscow suggests that the Kim Jong-un regime could be closer than ever to achieve that strategic weapon that gives it greater deterrence of deterrence (and extortion) in the global geopolitics.

An overwhelming cast with second season already announced, and already in streaming

by

Eye to this cast: Michael Fassbender, Richard Gere and Jeffrey Wright, accompanied by secondary schools such as Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston and John Magaro. A luxury squad for one of the most anticipated thrillers of this 2025 start: ‘The agency‘, who has aroused so much expectation that his second season has already been announced and that you can see now In Skyshowtime and In Movistar Plus+. In it we will meet An undercover agent of the CIA who receives the order to abandon his normal life to return to work in London. But when he falls in love, he is willing to sacrifice his work and his own identity to safeguard his private life, which will precipitate an international intrigue where they are involved, among others, a veteran agent of the organization. Behind ‘The Agency’ are the brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, screenwriters of ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’. Signing the first two episodes is Joe Wright (‘The darkest moment’), which makes it very clear that we are facing a high -budget product, which is noticed in its action sequences (although the series has a rhythm that is cooked over low heat, and where intrigues abound in offices than the thrilling persecutions) and cinematographic finishing. At the moment, Skyshowtime (which presumes this series, rightly, as one of the most outstanding elements among its premieres this month) It has only released the first two episodes of ‘The Agency’. The issuance of the same will last to the ten chapters, so we will have time to get the meticulous rhythm and the oppressive atmosphere of this new spy epic.

Alibaba has just announced QWen2.5-Max

by

Days of vertigo in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). When it seemed that American technological giants had no rival capable of shadowing them, Deepseek caused a real earthquake. The excellent performance of the latest language models of the Chinese company resulted in A direct threat to Silicon Valley firmsthat in a matter of hours They lost billions of dollars of market value. The success of Deepseek V3 and Deepseek-R1 lies in A very simple key to understand. They are proposals that, in many ways, are at the most advanced in the world, such as GPT-4 and O1. Not only do they work very well, but the training and operation costs are several times lower than those of Openai. While the West gets ready to launch “much better” models, as Sam Altman mentioned, the competition to overcome Depseek is also played in China. Alibaba, in the race to overcome Depseek Things are moving very quickly in the field of AI. Alibaba, the giant of known electronic commerce “The Chinese Amazon”, has just launched his most advanced language model: Qwen2.5-Max. We are facing a pressed alternative with 20 billion tokens and improved through supervised fine-tuning techniques (SFT) and reinforcement learning from human comments (RLHF). Like GPT-4 and Deepseek, QWen2.5-Max uses a Mixture of Experts (MOE) architecture, optimizing resources by activating only the necessary parts of the model, the so-called “experts”. It is designed to highlight in tasks such as programming and conversations, but the most interesting thing is that it exceeds several benchmarks to rivals as Deepseek V3 and calls 3.1. QWEN2.5-MAX has achieved a score of 87.9 % in Mmluone of the most demanding tests to evaluate the general knowledge of a model, compared to 87.1% of Deepseek-V3 and 85.2% flame 3.1. In BBHa test designed to evaluate complex reasoning, QWEN2.5-Max has reached 89.3 %, standing ahead of Deepseek-V3 (87.5 %) and calls 3.1 (85.9 %). If we look at Mathmark, the performance in mathematics at the Olympic level, the Alibaba model reaches 68.5%, while its Deepseek-V3 rivals and calls 3.1 reach 61.6% and 53.8% respectively. The difference is not overwhelming, but it is still an interesting fact, especially since it shows that its competitors, both inside and outside China, are not so far. A very important fact is that we are not facing one of those ads that leave us with honey on the lips, which presume improvements, but that everything is still key in the laboratory. Alibaba has made available to users their new model, so we have several ways to access it: through payment API, Through Hugging Face or using the Qwen Chatthe company’s chatbot equivalent to Chatgpt. Starting to use Qwen Chat is as simple as registering. The next step is to start chatting. This chatbot has the QWEN2.5-Plus model selected by default, but we can change to QWEN2.5-Max using the models selector of the upper left corner. We can even use two models simultaneously, as we show in screen capture. Alibaba chatbot has a lot of other functions, such as web search, artifacts, and generation of images and videos. It is also able to analyze images and documents. And while we are talking about a solution that come from the Asian giant, we have been able to verify that it works well in Spanish.

For the first time, the All-Star will be transformed into a four-team mini-tournament. There will be three games: two semifinals and a final, with the first team to reach 40 points in each duel proclaimed as the winner. The 24 most voted players will be divided into three teams of eight members, while a fourth team, made up of the emerging stars of the ‘Rising Stars’ program, will complete the competition. The NBA will distribute 1.8 million dollars in prizes, with $125,000 dollars for each player on the champion team. For their part, the finalists will win $50,000 dollars and those in third and fourth place will get $25,000 dollars. LeBron James of record 40-year-old star LeBron James was announced as a starter for the next NBA All-Star Game, which will take place on February 16 in San Francisco. It will be his twenty-first consecutive appearance, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players in league history. At 40 years old, LeBron continues to demonstrate his validity with impressive averages this season: 23.78 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9 assists. He will join Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) and Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns) in the Western Conference starting quintet. For their part, the Eastern starters will be led by Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) and will have Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns (New York Knicks), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics). The NBA seeks this renewed format to inject greater excitement into the All-Star Game, an event that has been criticized in recent years for its lack of intensity. In addition to the attractive financial prizes, the change promises to offer a more dynamic show adapted to the demands of the fans. LeBron, who has been a constant in the All-Star since his first selection in 2005, will be one of the main attractions of the event.

Mike Johnson announced that the previous January 6 investigation will be investigated

by

The president of the House of Representatives, Michael Johnson (R-Louisiana), announced the creation of a new committee to investigate “false narratives” on the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by supporters of the president donald trump. Hours earlier, Johnson had downplayed a question about Trump’s pardon of the assailants saying that Republicans “were not looking back, but forward.” But the new committee will look back and work to rewrite the history of the assault on the Capitol. Republicans want deflect blame from Trump for telling his supporters to “fight like hell” and march on Congress before they broke into the building to interfere with the certification of Trump’s 2020 election loss. Johnson said in a news release that Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who led Republicans’ counterinvestigation into the original bipartisan Jan. 6 committee, would lead the new effort. “House Republicans are proud of our work so far to expose the false narratives spread by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still much work to do,” Johnson said. In his own statement, Loudermilk listed the causes of the January 6 attack, notably omitting the man whose name was on the flags that the mob carried. “What happened at the Capitol that day was the result of a series of intelligence, security and leadership failures at multiple levels within numerous entities,” Loudermilk said. Loudermilk’s panel will be a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who noted there are unanswered questions about live pipe bombs that were discovered in buildings near the Capitol on Jan. 6. Keep reading:· Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys of Cuban origin pardoned by Trump after being sentenced to 22 years for the assault on the Capitol· Trump pardons more than 1,500 Capitol attackers; Enrique Tarrio will be free· JD Vance contradicts Trump and refuses to pardon those who carried out violence in the assault on the Capitol
