that China approves the purchase of its H200 chips

by

China has given the green light for the first time to the purchase of NVIDIA’s H200 chips for AI, which has allowed several of the country’s main technology companies to import these semiconductors. We had been waiting for a few weeks for Beijing to comment on the matter, since NVIDIA was multiplying its chip production to be prepared for this moment. Although there are some rules that companies must follow. The decision. According to account Reuters, ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have received authorization to acquire more than 400,000 H200 chips in total, an operation valued at approximately $10 billion. More Chinese companies are expected to receive the go-ahead in the coming weeks, although specific conditions have not yet been detailed. Visiting. The authorization comes during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to China this week. Huang has toured Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen on his traditional annual trip ahead of the Lunar New Year celebrations. However, according to account the Wall Street Journal, has not met with senior Chinese officials. Why is it important. The approval breaks a stalemate that has lasted for months. In April, the United States initially banned the sale of H20 chips to China, a less powerful version that NVIDIA had designed specifically for the Chinese market. Although Washington turned back with the H20, Beijing then told companies not to buy themalleging cybersecurity issues that NVIDIA denied. After a meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping In South Korea last October, the United States authorized the export of the H200, a significantly more powerful chip. Now, China is doing its part by approving the import of these chips into the country. The Beijing dilemma. The issue is that China was preparing for a world completely independent of American technology, so after approval it dances in a delicate balance. On the one hand, Beijing wants its best AI developers to be able to build new models and applications quickly, something that NVIDIA chips would greatly facilitate. On the other hand, it has been cultivating a self-sufficient semiconductor industry for years. Although according to account WSJ, the country has encountered resistance especially from private sector companies accustomed to using NVIDIA software products and tools. The conditions of the agreement. According to Reutersthe approvals include restrictions that are still being defined. But what is known is that Chinese companies that want to buy American chips have had to submit documents to authorities explaining how they plan to use them. The country’s authorities have indicated that any purchase must be for uses considered necessary, such as advanced research and development in AI, according to inform WSJ. Some companies have also included plans to purchase chips made in China in their agreements, as authorities require companies to use locally produced semiconductors for some AI training tasks and most inference-related workloads. btechnological right. The H200 represents a significant qualitative leap, exceeding the performance of the H20 by approximately six times. Although Chinese companies like Huawei now they have products which rival the performance of the H20, they are still far behind the H200. And in order not to be left behind in the AI ​​race, large Chinese technology companies have lined up to order more than two million H200 chips, far exceeding NVIDIA’s available inventory. Impact. NVIDIA had seen its share of AI chips in the Chinese market fall from 95% to virtually zero as it awaited actions from both governments, according to declared Huang in October. Meanwhile, Chinese companies have tried fill that void using a large number of lower power chips to increase processing capacity. And now what. According to account WSJ, Huang is soon scheduled to travel to Taiwan, also part of his annual routine, where he is expected to speak with suppliers about manufacturing more H200 chips to feed demand in China. After the October trade truce between the US and China, it seems that the waters have calmed down, at least on the surface.

The EU moves token and approves its retaliation tariffs to the US: we already know when the counterattack will begin to be applied

by

The commercial war between the United States and a good part of the world is no longer a latent threat: it is happening, and Europe is part of the board. In recent times, the Donald Trump administration has launched three direct offensives against the European Union. First imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum; Then he did the same with the cars, And now he has added the so -called “20% reciprocal tariffs”. Brussels has decided to answer. First firm step. The answer has already begun to take shape. The Member States of the Community Block The first commercial countermeasted package against the United States has just approved. The proposal was treated this Wednesday and received a majority support. From the European Commission they have not left doubt: they consider that Washington’s tariffs are “unjustified and harmful” and that “cause economic damage to both parties, as well as the world economy.” {“Videid”: “X8WLH9Q”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “United States vs. China: The chips war”, “Tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “1611”} The details, still to be known. The Commission has officially confirmed the approval of these measures, but has not detailed the concrete percentages or the products that will be affected. That information will be announced in the next few days through a formal ad. However, media such as The New York Times, which accessed the documentation related to the voting, They assure that these are 10% and 25% tariffs on a wide range of categories. Appliances, vessels and even dental thread. These percentages coincide with the information published this weekwhere it transpired that the European package would reach consumer and leisure goods, such as appliances, motorcycles, recreation vessels and cards, in addition to food products such as sausages, poultry and other agricultural products. Personal care articles would also be included, such as dental thread. Date indicated in the calendar. Although formal steps are still missing, such as the publication of the act of execution, the European Commission has already advanced the key date: “Rights will begin to be raised as of April 15,” According to the institution itself. That is, the countermeasures will be effective within a few days. The dialogue continues on the table. The movement does not imply a total closure to the dialogue. From Brussels they have stressed that Member States maintain the intention of negotiating with the US administration, although any agreement must be based on “balanced and mutually beneficial” conditions. In that line, the Commission has confirmed that the countermeasures “can be suspended at any time.” In Xataka China has no intention of backing: it will put tariffs of 84% to all US imports Who will really pay these tariffs? The answer is that you possibly impact consumers. “Tariffs function as taxes applied to imports”, Remember the Tax Foundation. “In practice, that additional cost is rarely assumed by companies: it ends up impacting directly on the consumer pocket.” If nothing changes, we will see more expensive American products in the European market.

The Government finally approves the great advance pending in our identification

by

The expected digitalization of the National Identity Document (DNI) has taken a key step today. This Tuesday, the Council of Ministers has approved The regulation that establishes the basis for the implementation of this document in digital format. Thus, full validity is granted to the document in digital formatprovided that the holder carries it through the official application ‘Midni’. It is not a complete substitution of the physical ID, but the digital version will act as a virtual replica that will identify us before the authorities. The digital ID. The Interior Ministry, in collaboration with the National Police, has detailed how the application ‘Mi DNI’ will work. This will allow access to our National Identity Document and be accredited to public and private entities. “With the DNI on the mobile, identity identity can be accredited in person, but for the moment it will not be used to do so through the Internet, to use it as an electronic travel document for border step, to prove identity in other countries or make telematic efforts of authentication and/or electronic signature.” Home Office. This digital ID will serve any public or private registration process, acting with the same legal validity of the physical document. The digital ID will carry an QR code incorporated, similar to what we already saw with the digitally legalized driving license in the Midgt app. How exactly does it work? Through the ‘MIDNI’ application, the user will be requesting their identity data from the National Police so that they can be requested by third parties. The QR, which will have limited validity (will only be valid for a few minutes), will be signed and sealed by said police force. What can I do with Midni. The Interior Ministry itself indicates that the digital DNI will act the same as the physicist, allowing identity accreditation in the face of face -to -face procedures, establishing any type of legal relationship, writing signature, opening of bank accounts, realization of commercial transactions and, in the future (2026) telematic efforts. In other words, the legality of the digital ID is the same as the physical ID, and it is expected that by 2026 it will be possible to perform all kinds of procedures, both face -to -face and online, with it. Midni app interface. Downloading the app. The app will be available on both Google Play Store and App Store. How do they point in Xataka Mobileit is crucial to look well in the name and developer. Since 2024 there is an application called ‘My DNI’ without any legal validity and developed by the American International Eidas LLC. The original app is ‘Midni’, without spaces in its name. This is the only valid application to the administration, and the only one in which we can introduce our ID with security guarantees. It will be available from tomorrow Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. in the two large apps. We will update this piece as soon as they are ready for download. Deployment and registration of the digital ID. It will not be enough to download an application and enter our data. For the digital ID registration, it will be necessary to have electronic ID and digital certificate in force, in addition to access to a card reader. In case of not having one, we can carry out the procedure in any nearby police station. The process will be carried out through The website enabled for this purpose. A curious fact is that users can choose what data they appear after showing the QR, with three options available. DNI + Age: It will show photography, name and majority. Simple ID: will show photography, name, surname, sex and validity of DNI. Complete DNI: All elements of the ID The margin time is set in a period of twelve months so that private administrations and entities adopt the necessary measures for their proper functioning. During this period, its acceptance will not be mandatory, a point to take into account in this moment of transition.

The Government approves the new Plan for DTT. One with more 4K channels and the nth “blackout”

by

The Council of Ministers He has approved today the new National Technical Technical Technical Plan. His great objective, As we mentionedis to generalize emissions with quality UHD/4K so that the quality of these emissions is as much as possible. But to that prominence of the emissions in 4K another news is added. 4K EMISSIONS BY FLAG. With this new plan, both the legal and the technic framework are established so that the DVB-T2 transmission technology is adopted at all levels (state, autonomous and local). That will allow all emissions to end up making the leap to the quality of ultra high definition (UHD, also known as 4K, although There are slight differences). The immediate future. The Royal Decree must be confirmed by Congress within a maximum period of one month. From there, both the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Secretary of State for Telecommunications must initiate the frequency migration process and technical adjustments. That will allow the emission spectrum to adapt to that new situation. SIGHTING RESTIPIZATION. As indicated In The Objectivethey will have to migrate a daring channel, another of Mediaset and the Radio Blanca (DKISS) signal. That will force consumers to suffer their televisions or TDT adapters. It is not known when it will be necessary to carry out that subsidization of the channels, but it will probably occur in autumn of 2025. It is the nth “blackout of the DTT”, a necessary process to enjoy these new channels in UHD quality. The next to have UHD channels. This reorganization will allow both Atresmedia and Mediaset to have a frequency with UHD emissions each. It is for example what TVE already has, which has been using this channel in tests for a year, and also leaves the door open so that other chains can also request UHD emissions. A two -phase process. The first plan will work to “favor the implementation of technology”, so that the adaptation of the TV receptor park is promoted To be compatible with DVB-T2. From there, phase 2 will begin, with a global implementation of this technology and UHD quality in all TDT services. And new auction channel. All these changes will allow according to the announcement that a part of the capacity of one of the multiple digital is free for a new standard quality channel (SD) of state. The license of said channel will be held soon, so the offer of TDT channels will be expanded, explain those responsible for the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function. Deadlines. If everything goes as expected, after the theoretical final approval of the Congress, the bidding sheets would be prepared in the same month of April, the contest to auction the new channel would be held in May. Before the summer, the award should have been completed, which would prepare us for that reseintonization when the 2025-2026 course begins. Who will that channel be? According to The Objective, the great candidate to keep that channel is a group of shareholders of the Prisa Group. They already have 20 million euros of budget for the first three years and the objective would be to get 3% of Share at the end of that period. Nothing is determined, and both Atresmedia and Mediaset or even Telefónica seem to be considering presenting their offers.

Australia has to decide whether it approves a larger renewable power plant than El Salvador

by

Yesterday The public consultation deadline ended For the environmental approval of Western Green Energy Hub, a project that aspires to become The world’s largest renewable energy center. Projected on an area of ​​22,700 square kilometers on the southern coast of Western Australia, would occupy more surface than whole countries, such as Slovenia or El Salvador. The megaproject. A renewable energy hybrid center with a monstrous wind and solar capacity: up to 60 million photovoltaic panels distributed in 35 different parks and 3,000 marine and land wind turbines from 7 to 20 MW. With an investment of 100,000 million Australian dollars (60,000 million US dollars) and a combined 70 GW power, the center would not only generate clean electricity, but would take advantage of it to feed a series of electrolyzers capable of converting desalinized seawater into 3.5 million tons of hydrogen Green a year, which would be exported to other countries in the form of ammonia. More electricity than whole countries. Western Green Energy Hub would not only generate more than 200 teravatios-hora of clean energy per year, a figure that exceeds the annual electrical production of most countries, but would leave at the height of a toy the largest renewable energy projects of The news, like Karapinar in Türkiye (with an area of ​​20 km²), Urumqi in China (with 133 km²) or Khavda in India (with 600 km²). Australia, which has an annual consumption of 273 twh, does not need so much energy, hence the need to produce green hydrogen to store it ammoniawhich has multiple uses in industry and agriculture. The concerns. Although Australia is one of the countries that has been betting on renewable energy and green hydrogen, the environmental protection authority mentions A fan of possible impacts in marine and coastal habitats. Winding can reduce the quality of marine fauna, specifically benthic communities, and affect coastal processes. Also for the dredging and movements of the ships in charge of installing them. On the other hand, dehydration prior to the construction of a desalination plant and the felling of 27,188 hectares of vegetation could reduce terrestrial fauna. Built in aboriginal lands. If approved, the project will go to history not only for its size, but as one of the first in which A consortium of energy companies Led by Intercontinental Energy and CWP Global, it is associated with owners of aboriginal land, represented by Traditional Mirning Lands Aboriginal Corporation. The center would be built in seven phases over 30 years, with the aim of installing 35 nodes between 2 and 3 GW from here to 2050. The chosen place is the mirning lands in the great Australian bay, among the towns of EUCLA and KALGOORLIE-BOULDER, to take advantage of the immense potential of wind and solar energy in the area, with an estimated use factor of 70%.

US House approves immigration detention law that could be the first that Trump enacts

by

The US House of Representatives on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that requires the detention of migrants who are in the country without permission and who have been accused of theft and violent crimes, the first measure that President Donald Trump can enact it, after Congress—with some bipartisan support—moved quickly in line with the president’s plans to toughen measures against illegal immigration. The passage of the Laken Riley Act, named after a Georgia nursing student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan, shows how dramatically the political debate over immigration has shifted to the right following Trump’s election victory. . Immigration policy has often been one of the most entrenched issues in Congress, but a crucial group of 46 politically vulnerable Democrats joined Republicans to pass the strict proposal by a vote count of 263 in favor and 156 against. . “For decades, it has been nearly impossible for our government to agree on solutions to problems at our border and within our country,” said Republican Senator Katie Britt. He noted that it is likely to be the “most significant immigration bill” that Congress has passed in nearly three decades. However, the bill will require a massive increase in the capabilities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but does not include any new funding. Meanwhile, the new president has issued a series of executive orders aimed at sealing the border with Mexico to immigration and ultimately deporting millions of migrants who lack permanent legal status in the United States. On Wednesday, Trump also canceled refugee resettlement and his administration has said it intends to prosecute local law enforcement officials who do not comply with his new immigration policies. Republican congressional leaders have made clear that they intend to follow the same path, although their biggest challenge will be finding a way to approve funding to actually implement Trump’s strict plans. “What he’s doing is starting what will ultimately be our legislative agenda,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson. House Republicans initially passed the legislation last year with the support of 37 Democrats in a move intended as a political rebuke to then-President Joe Biden’s handling of the southern border. He then languished in the Democratic-controlled Senate. This year, Republicans, now in control of both houses of Congress, have made this their top priority. When it came before the Senate, 12 Democrats voted in favor of the measure, and when the House voted on a version of the bill earlier this month, 48 Democrats supported it. A majority of adults in the United States favor deporting immigrants convicted of violent crimes, according to a recent poll by the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and The Associated Press. However, only about 37% of U.S. adults favor deporting migrants in the country illegally who have not been convicted of a crime. “While the bill is not perfect, it sends a clear message that we think criminals should be deported,” said Rep. Tom Suozzi, a New York Democrat who has urged his party to support stricter enforcement of the law. immigration law. Under the bill, federal authorities would be required to detain any migrant arrested or charged with crimes such as shoplifting. The scope of the proposal was expanded in the Senate to also include those accused of assaulting a police officer or crimes that injure or cause the death of someone. The bill also gives state attorneys general standing to sue the federal government for damages caused by federal immigration decisions. This gives states new power in immigration policy when they have already been trying to counter presidential decisions under the Trump and Biden administrations. Democrats unsuccessfully tried to have that provision removed from the bill in the Senate, saying it would inject even more uncertainty and partisanship into immigration policy. Ultimately, even the Trump administration will likely struggle to implement the new requirements unless Congress follows up later this year with funding. Republicans are currently planning how to push their priorities through Congress through a party-line process known as budget reconciliation. They have estimated the cost of funding Trump’s border and deportation priorities at approximately $100 billion. Trump has “established the largest domestic logistics undertaking of our lifetimes, which is the deportation of the majority of aliens who are in the United States illegally,” said Ken Cuccinelli, who led U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Trump’s first term, to a Senate panel recently. Cuccinelli noted that it would require an increase in immigration judges, prosecutors and other staff, but Trump has also paved the way for using military assets, bases and other resources to carry out mass deportations. The Department of Homeland Security has estimated that the Laken Riley Act would cost $26.9 billion in the first year to implement, including an increase of 110,000 ICE detention beds. Most Democrats criticized the lack of funding in the bill as evidence that it is a piecemeal approach that would do little to fix problems in the immigration system but would burden federal authorities with new requirements. “The authors of the bill stated that it would result in the arrest and detention of dangerous criminals, but it will not because it is a completely unfunded mandate,” said Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. Others expressed concerns that the bill would deprive migrants, including minors or beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, of due process rights. Senator Alex Padilla said federal authorities would now be forced to prioritize detaining migrants arrested for minor crimes such as shoplifting, rather than those who commit serious crimes. Overall, there is no evidence that migrants are more likely to commit violent crimes. Several studies have found that immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than those born in the United States. Groups that advocate for restrictive immigration policies dispute or dismiss those findings. But Republicans pointed to the bill’s namesake, Laken Riley, and how she was murdered by a Venezuelan migrant who had previously been arrested by local authorities but released while his … Read more

FDA approves Johnson & Johnson nasal spray for depression

by

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new form of treatment for treatment-resistant depressionwhich could represent a key alternative for many patients who do not respond to conventional treatments. This is Spravato, a nasal spray developed by Johnson & Johnson, which can be used independently, without the need to be accompanied by an oral antidepressant. This advance promises to transform the lives of the millions of people who suffer from major depressive disorders and who cannot improve with standard treatments. Spravato was initially approved in 2019 as an adjunct to oral antidepressants, but with this new approval, it can now be used as a single therapy for those patients with treatment-resistant depression. This condition affects one-third of the approximately 21 million adults in the United States who suffer from major depression, who show no improvement despite trying at least two different antidepressant treatments. Bill Martin, head of global neuroscience at Johnson & Johnson, highlighted the importance of this medication, highlighting that untreated depression can be fatal, especially when patients experience suicidal thoughts. According to estimates, Major depression can include symptoms such as persistent sadness, fatigue, sleep disorders, and self-destructive thoughts. which puts patients at high risk of harm or death if not treated appropriately. Spravato, whose active ingredient is ketamine, has been shown to be effective in inducing relief from depressive symptoms in the short term. In clinical studies, patients began to experience improvements in their emotional state just 24 hours after treatment, and the beneficial effects continued for at least a month. This speed is a fundamental difference compared to traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or even months to take effect. The spray should be administered under medical supervision The nasal spray is administered in a clinical setting under close medical supervision due to the risks of serious side effects such as sedation, dissociation, respiratory depression, and suicidal thoughts. Therefore, patients should remain under observation for at least two hours after administration.. This restrictive and supervised approach is essential to ensure patient safety while reaping the benefits of the medication. Although the rollout of Spravato was slow, especially due to complications from the pandemic, doctors and mental health facilities have begun to embrace the use of the medication more frequently. FDA approval as a stand-alone therapeutic option reinforces confidence in its effectiveness and safety. Results from a phase four trial confirmed that the drug has a safety profile consistent with previous data and provides both rapid and long-lasting relief. Dr. Gregory Mattingly, president of the Midwest Research Group, who participated in the clinical trials, noted that patients now have the option of choosing whether to take Spravato along with an oral antidepressant or on its own. allowing them to avoid the undesirable side effects of oral medications, such as weight gain or sexual problems. The ability to personalize treatment is one of the great advantages of this approach. In terms of economic impact, Spravato has been a success for Johnson & Johnson. During the first nine months of 2024, the drug generated sales of $780 million, and the company expects revenue to increase even further in the future, reaching between $1 billion and $5 billion annually.
