Netflix premiered the first scene generated with AI in an original production, and nobody realized: the moment has arrived

by

It seems that it was eternity when we were amazed with the images of Dall · E 2. ‘The girl from the pearl’ reimagined. An avocado in a spoon therapy. It was 2022, and the artificial intelligence Openai left us speechless with each new occurrence. In seconds, anyone could generate images that previously required technical knowledge and many hours of work. What seemed like a visual curiosity was only the beginning. Then the synthetic voices arrivedthe videos generated and, later, the tools designed directly for professional productions such as Sora either Gen-3 alpha. The scene of a building falling in Buenos Aires marks a milestone for AI His appearance raised new ways to create, but also old doubts about the future of creative work. And, as expected, they soon arrived at the great stages. This week its use has been confirmed In one of the most important series of the year in Netflix. Confirmation came directly from Ted Saraonds, Netflix executive co -director, During a talk with investors. “We are still convinced that artificial intelligence represents an incredible opportunity to help creators make better movies and series, not just cheaper,” he said. As he explained, they are already seeing concrete results in the phases of preview and shooting planning. But the most striking happened during the production of ‘The Eternaluta‘. In one of the key sequences, creators wanted to show A building collapsing In full Buenos Aires. To achieve this, the creative team worked together with the Eyeline Studios innovation group, using tools promoted by generative. The result was not only visually shocking: that sequence was completed ten times faster than with traditional effects and with a cost that, according to Saraonds, would have been unfeasible with conventional methods for a series of that budget. And it is not an isolated experiment: it is the first scene generated with AI that reaches the final footage of an original Netflix production. “The creators were delighted with the result. We were delighted with the result and, more importantly, The public was delighted with the result”Saraondos finished off. According to the Executive: the generative tools are not displacing the creators, but expanding the screening possibilities on the screen. Beyond the technological milestone, ‘the Eternaluta’ has also been a resounding success for Netflix. According to Forbesthe Argentine series reached the number one position of Netflix global for non -English speech series on April 30, date of its premiere, with 10.8 million views and 58.3 million hours reproduced in its first seven days. Based on the iconic graphic novel by Héctor G. Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, the story takes place in a Buenos Aires swept through a toxic snowfall that ends the population. From there, a Fight against an alien invasion that puts collective resistance. Production opted for virtual production techniques to create hyperrealist and interactive funds that immerse the viewer in a post -epocalyptic city. The use of generative allowed to go one step further and achieve a result that, until now, was only available to projects with the highest budget. What is clear is that this does not stop. In just a few years we have gone from generating curious images with ia to see how those same technologies begin to be part of the final footage of first level productions. ‘The Eternaluta’ is just a first step, but a significant step. It remains to be seen what other series or films will follow this path, How will it affect industries such as the video game And, above all, what will be the position of the creators in the face of this paradigm shift. There are still many questions without answering: from the use of human works to train generative models to copyright, through the real impact on creative employment. Cases such as the National Electoral Institute of Mexico, accused of using the voice of José Lavat without authorizationoriginal narrator of ‘Dragon Ball Z’, or The protests of the audiovisual sector in HollywoodThey show that we are still trying to dimension the impact of this technology.

A US Nuclear Submarine has just arrived in Iceland for the first time in history. That can only mean one thing: Giuk

by

When 2025 United States began, a word incessantly repeated: Greenland. There was no appearance of Trump where he did not slide that Washington was interested in getting the small nation, even for the bad. Behind, of course, There was much more that an occurrence, because the island is part of a Western strategic edge that he shares with the United Kingdom and Iceland. Interestingly, the first nuclear submarine in the US has just come to stay. First nuclear scale. Yes, by first time In history, a nuclear propulsion submarine in the United States has docked in Iceland. He USS Newport Newsa fast attack unit Los Angeles classarrived in Reykiavik in a movement that underlines the growing strategic importance of the Arctic in a context of Geopolitical tensions increasingly acute. The Icelandic government only began to allow the entry of nuclear submarines in its territorial waters in 2023and this inaugural visit is part of an increasingly narrow cooperation pattern with Washington and NATO. The American navy presented the event as A “decisive moment” which reaffirms its commitment to collective defense and maritime security of the Arctic, while American diplomats in Reykiavik stressed that the operation has been carried out in full Coordination with Icelandcountry that does not have its own naval forces and depends on the allied umbrella for protection. Giuk. It We count A few months ago. The geostrategic background of the event is closely linked to the call Giuk runner (Between Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom), a strip of key waters through which routinely submarines of the Russian north fleet, including the advanced yasen-m Cruise missile carriers. The location of Iceland makes the island a vital control point to follow these vessels before they are hidden in the vast Atlantic and represent a potential threat to the east coast of the United States. During the cold war, Iceland housed to the 57th Hunting Wing of the American Air Force at the Keflavik base, as well as maritime surveillance detachments With P-3 Orion aircraft. Currently, this surveillance persists with modern P-8a Poseidon and with NATO fighters that rotate to cover the Icelandic airspace. The Newport News stop adds to that renewed defense network, in a context where NATO has intensified protection of underwater infrastructure after alleged sabotage acts Russian In the Baltic which alerted about the vulnerability of vital cables and conduits. Sobs on board the submarine make guard while arriving in Reykjavík, Iceland And more. As We explainYes, let’s say Russia or China cross the corridor, its location would become extremely difficult, both because of the acoustic conditions of the underwater terrain and by oceanic vastness. Thus, from those hidden positions they could launch missile attacks against objectives in the east of the American continent. In fact and in response to this, the United States formed in 2021 the so -called Task Group Greyhounda specialized group of anti -submarine destroyers Designed to counteract This specific threat. The American navy itself warned at the time that the east coast of the country already It was not a safe shelterunderlining the urgency of establishing surveillance and defense points in key areas such as Greenland. The Russian answer. The truth is that Russia has proven to know very well the value of this corridor. In 2019, he organized its greatest naval exercise From the Cold War, sending at least ten submarines through the completely submerged Giuk gap, with the aim of Reach the Atlantic without being intercepted. According to Norwegian mediathe intention was clear: to prove the capacity of the West to detect movements of his fleet and demonstrate that he could project power to the US coast. These exercises also fulfill a fund growing territorial presence. A new stage. Beyond its symbolic value, the arrival of the Newport News represents an important operational step for the United States: to have a logistic support point for nuclear submarines in the Arctic without the need for move to Scotland or northern Norway. The ship, equipped with twelve vertical launch tubes for Tomahawk missiles and anti -submarine and anti -surface warfare systems, also provides surveillance and deterrence in a region where Russia has reinforced its naval presence and has increased its military activity near Finland. Icelandic Foreign Ministry itself recognized that these visits contribute to continuous and efficient underwater surveillance that also protects critical infrastructures submerged in Icelandic waters. Since 2023, six American submarines They had already briefly entered the island waters for partial crew rotations, but this is the first stop in port, product of bilateral regulations prepared with discretion and based on similar agreements with other Nordic countries. An emerging axis. The submarine scale is not an isolated case: in 2019, B-2 Spirit poachers They also used Iceland as an advanced base, which was a novelty for both aircraft and for the island. The ability to operate from austere locations has become a key principle of the American projection strategy. Iceland, who for decades played a secondary role after the end of the cold war, is repositioning as a central node in the defensive device of NATO in the north, especially in front of the resurgence of the Russian underwater threat. This scale, therefore, is not only a naval operation, but a silent but unequivocal statement of intentions: the United States contemplates the Arctic as a theater of strategic competence in full boom, already Iceland as its new bastion.

ASMR’s videos had become one of the most pleasant places on the Internet. Until the AI ​​arrived

by

If in recent days your feeds In social networks they are full of videos in which someone, with a knife, cuts glass planets, stuffed fruits or precious metals in slices of bread, do not worry. It is the latest generation of hyperrealistic videos made with AI, and have found a reef: extremely relaxing, satisfactory images and sounds and thanks to the possibilities of artificial intelligence, also impossible. An unexpected phenomenon. The simplicity of these tiny videos and how easy it is to elaborate them with models such as I see3 have led to have multiplied exponentially in recent weeks. They are clips of just seconds, with a surreal point, in which we see a cut knife, with extraordinary cleaning, all kinds of objects. The small models of planets (usually are of glass or stone) and other glass foods triumph. The grace is that within these objects there may be any substance or surprise: lava, gelatin, flames nuclei … The AI ​​thus exploits its ability to generate hyperrealistic images, but that the viewer knows that they cannot be real. The result intrigues enough to want to know more and stay to the following video, or enter the multiple profiles that make content of this type. Why here and now. Videos take advantage of the ability to see highly realistic textures in the foreground, allowing a prompt to just five lines and a handful of key concepts Very well chosen (“Extreme Macro Perspective, Sticky Separation with Deep Glugs”, “Rich, Slow and Hypnotic” …) these types of videos are generated quickly. That is, they are multiplying at high speed because advanced technical knowledge is not necessary, everything is automatically generated, and there is room for a certain variety: With some imagination, all kinds of objects and sensations can be recreated. Accounts to start. We assure you that as soon as you see a few accounts of this type, you will not have to make more search efforts: the algorithm will take care of the rest and you will have a real avalanche of videos of this type. But if you want some clues, there are some proper names: Impossibleais (well known and followed, glass food), Sicksicee (objects of all kinds, to each more surreal), ASMR_inventory (Video games related objects) … And more: Element.Slice (elements of the periodic table, with realistic effects), Danielleleto (Spread in bread slices impossible objects), click theaii (An original variant: computer key), slice..imposeible (More absurd glass objects) … the list is endless. Where all this comes from. The ASMR (autonomous meridian sensory response) arose Like a phenomenon on the Internet As of 2007, when personal experiences began to share pleasant sensations induced by certain soft sounds and voices. The term was coined in 2010 by Jennifer Allen to describe that sense of tingling and well -being that mainly caused the whispers and soft noises. The first ASMR videos were homemade recordings, made by fans with basic equipment and an experimental approach, and the content was varied: whispers, beaten, crunch and even role -playing games and simulations of invented situations. Its success and massification allowed the subsequent emergence of technologies such as AI, which are radically transforming the way to create and consume this type of content. In fact, these ASMR of knives cutting all kinds of objects and substances are in turn changing, and we are seeing first planes of mouths and hands manipulating all kinds of textures and food, also playing with the surreal (nibbing glass or stones with lava) Exponential growth. And although we all know these videos and their original success, which gave on foot to discussions and parodies of all kinds, they have nothing to do with this new generation of ASMR created with AI, which has automated the contents and multiplied the variants. At the moment the ASMR made with ia is being sneaking into All Trends analysis of the momentand although it is finally a fleeting fashion, that should not make us forget a very important aspect of the content generated with AI: its ability to reinterpret with impossible images and concepts traditional viral materials, which may come to change completely how we consume content.

The “pyrocuse” have arrived in Spain to stay

by

Heat is always a risk factor in terms of forest fires, even more when it is as intense as we have seen during the last weeks (and that in some areas still unleashed). We might think that storms that have put limits to this heat would play in our favor, but the problem is that this is not always the case. Sometimes they bring a greater problem. Fire in Lleida. The fire that has devastated part of the province of Lleida in recent days has stood out for its rapid propagation. He Balance of this fire yesterday It was two deceased people and 6,500 hectares. The fire, cataloged as “sixth generation”, reached speeds of propagation of up to 28 kilometers per houra speed that makes flight away on foot. To do this, it had the cooperation of a key factor, the pirocumuli. Pyrocuse. Flammagenitus pyrocumulus or clouds are atmospheric events in which powerful fires and concrete weather conditions that generate a “fire cloud” converge. This process is feeded, firing the devastation capacity of the fire itself. These clouds of smoke can reach heights above 10 kilometers: in the Lleida fire there is talk of a cloud wall of up to 14 kilometers high. Convective clouds. And how exactly these clouds are formed? The pyrocumulus or pyrocumulonimbo name is created in reference to the shape of the generated cloud, similar to clusters or cumulonimbos and not by chance. In both cases the form is a consequence of the processes that generate these clouds. In the case of “conventional” clusters, The triggers They are a high soil insolation that makes the air hot in low layers, when warm air is heated and runs into cold air in more antlas layers causing the appearance of a cloud. In the case of fires, it is nothing but fire itself that heats the air, causing it with it to ascend gases, particles and ashes from the fire. From the cloud to the storm. The clouds of inconscious origin behave in many ways like conventional ones. They reach an important height where the most intense winds begin to drag them. The moisture accumulated in these clouds It can generate storms with rainfall as well as with electrical discharges in the vicinity of the fire. Sixth generation. The appearance of these clouds and associated storms not only facilitates the spread of fire, but also generates immense uncertainty regarding their evolution. This uncertainty is precisely one of the defining features of the so -called Fire of “Sixth Generation”. The fires of this type are becoming a growing threat in our environment. The most virulent example is found in 2017, when a fire in Pedrogão Grande, Portugal, left 60 people killed.

As every year, Julio has arrived. And as every year, they are bombarding you with memes from Julio Iglesias

by

Julio arrives, like every twelve months. But not only the month of 31 days, the hard core of summer next to August. Julio Iglesias’s theme memes also arrive: you Instagram, your xquite possibly your family WhatsApp groups are filled with memes full of words games between Julio Iglesias and the month of July. An unavoidable annual phenomenon, fully immersed in the long tradition of seasonal memes. It could be said that Julio is Christmas for the devotees of the massive shipments of chascarrillos. The Julio phenomenon in July. A little over a decade ago, Internet users perceived that Julio Iglesias was called as the seventh month of the year. After some simple first memes, which are still repeated every year when summer is approaching (“Julio is already coming”, “Julio is coming” …), the custom became a more viral phenomenon. The possibilities, of course, are endless. There are a few examples: Memes for stations. The compilations can be almost infinite, such as the patience that they demand that they are in a dissemination channel of the July memes, because the word games and the subtlety of the messages can become chilling. However, there is a clear origin for this phenomenon: seasonal memes that sprout and multiply at certain times of the year. The best known and celebrated case is “Sam Va Lentín” Sprinkle me, Mr. Frodo. Originally conceived as an wiring word game with pop wink included, “Sam Va Lentín” became a tailor’s drawer Much more sophisticated than July. Thanks to him we have been able to contemplate variants of the original template as crazy as “Sam goes to Latin”, “Samba Lenín” or “Sam Ventolín”. In addition, unlike the July memes, it is focused on one day, on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Christmas Christmas. Christmas is another time sown for memes: we spend a lot of family and looking at the mobile, culture broth very appropriate for “sending all contacts.” For example, remember the “We have just run out of dinner”classic subgenre “People pulling family meals on the ground” and who have innumerable examples with Valencian paellas, but here in Christmas format. It is a tradition that every Christmas Eve the networks are filled with kitchen soils full of all kinds of food and assemblies always respecting the iconic phrase. He was born in 2015 on Twitter, in the post you can see below. Another example: the phrase “my mother today: can you serve?”, Always accompanied by a pop diva giving the chest or walking along the stage, and that plays with the confusion between “serving the table”, so typical of the family dinners, and “serve pussy” as a diva. “We have just run out of dinner”: Origins WhatsApp is the road. Many of these memes, but especially that of Julio Iglesias, find their dissemination path through WhatsApp groups: An image exchange zone where there is some familiarity among the participants, so there is a minor posture or need to appear than in other social networks. A little facebook style, social network converted into Sexagenarios redoubtWhatsApp is still atomic refuge for boomer humor, and it is in those areas where memes like July flourish. An explanation for success. In addition to the fact that we all like to feel that we are part of a community and that we are sharing an experience, however banal that is, there is something of natural, not forced to expand these memes, and that The Internet community appreciates. Bombarded daily by prefabricated memes, for campaigns that try to be the next viral phenomenon, the naturalness of the July memes or Sam Va Lentín speak Not only shared experiences (We all live in summer, we have all seen ‘The Lord of the Rings’, we all know what Valentine is), but also of the possibility of turning those experiences into something tangible, real … and enviable to our contact agenda.

The crochet was a quiet shelter away from stress and internet overinformation. Until the AI ​​arrived

by

There is the way everywhere. The last viral success in networks is made with ia, we hear music made with iathe Wikipedia has been filled with the… despite the initiatives to label itwe constantly encounter content that It gets through Real, And this It is a problem. It is exactly what is happening in the crochet community, a small and harmless Internet corner where the patterns generated with AI are ruining everything. Patterns impossible to weave. Crochet fans or crochet They went to the Internet to find new patterns. Currently, platforms like Etsy are a mines field full of patterns made with ia. Dragons, unicorns, lions … all with complex designs and a suspiciously perfect appearance that, trying to recreate them, are impossible to weave. In other cases, what users receive is absolutely similar to the photos of the product and, when weaving them, they become the meme of “what you ask vs. what comes to you.” And the worst: many are sold. What you ask what comes to you (ETSY) The deception. It has not cost me anything to find several examples of crochet patterns made with ethsy. On the first results page there are a few and do not specify that they have been generated with AI; Rather, quite the opposite. For example, the pattern of This dragon It is sold for 3.40 euros and nowhere does nothing say. Nor do we see it in the seller pagewhere all your designs are clearly made with AI. In fact, in the description ensures that you design each pattern with love and with real photos. In the reviews, this dragon has an assessment of 4.3 out of 5, which is not bad. However, it is enough to dive a bit to realize that most reviews with five stars are from people who have not yet started. If we see the worst assessment, they are people complaining that what they have received is impossible to weave. Many ask for explanations to the creator and the answers continue to insist that the pattern is real and has even been “created by a true craftsman.” A full -fledged scam. Some user reviews that have fallen in this SCAM. A problem that comes from afar. In the crochet community They have been complaining years of the irruption of these false patterns. Two years ago It was already written about this problem And it was common to see images of crochet artificially generated On Instagram and other networks. There were even guides to help people differentiate a real pattern of one made with the. The thing has not improved. There are more and more examples made with AI and the tools have advanced so much that There are people who fall believing they were facing a real pattern. The garbage goes for your hobbies. Recently we talked about Phenomenon of ‘AI Slop’ that flooded the networks such as Instagram or Tiktok with videos of quite disturbing. With the case of crochet, we are seeing that garbage applied to a hobby, and is not the only one. Something similar happens with 3D impression, where more and more Suspiciously perfect models that when they print them, they seem rather little to the photos. Sewing fans too They denounce that ETSY has been filled with patterns AI. If you like the kitchen you are not safe, Facebook is full of recipes made with ia. Labeling the AI ​​content is not enough. Although many fans are able to detect an image generated with a real one, it is enough to read the comments of many of these publications to see the enormous number of people who believe they are real. Platforms like Pinterest, Instagram either Tiktok They are labeling the AI ​​content (although It is not infallible), but the problem of constant spameo or ‘slop’ . The volume of content generated is so large, that in some searches it costs to find images that are not made with AI (try to look for Haircut ideas on Pinterest).

No one seemed to want an electric Rolls-Royce of 400,000 euros. Until the 35 -year -old rich arrived

by

Although some brands have launched to this technology, the luxury sector seemed to be turned to the electric car. Except for exceptions, such as the Porsche Taycan during its first years for sale, technology has not finished curdling in the market. There are multiple examples that demonstrate it and that touch all sticks. From Mercedes Eqs failurewho is The most advanced car of the German company, to the Rimac Nevera to whose owner It is costing to place its electrical supercardespite being a limited unit, ensuring that policies to favor the electric car are dynamiting these acquisitions. From these contact shots between luxury brands they have been learning in rival companies. So, Lamborghini has delayed its first electric car at 2029 and Bentley also stopped development of this technology when considering that demand did not compensate. But what if they were pointing to the wrong customer? An electric for younger millionaires Another of the companies that have opted for the total electrification of their models has been Rolls-Royce. The brand has in the Specter Its first electric car, a beast of 5.45 meters long, 2.08 meters wide and almost 3,000 kg. Its battery of more than 100 kWh promises 520 kilometers of autonomy with a consumption of 21.5 kWh/100 km, so we can expect a real figure that is much closer to a brief 350 kilometers. All with a starting price of 400,000 euros. Starting, we say, because we already know that the possibilities of customization are almost infinite in this type of vehicles … provided that the pocket is willing to pay it. In summary, the car has absolutely everything so that the millionaires flee from it. Or, at least, we thought. Because in The Drive They explain that the car has found a faithful audience: 35 -year -old millionaires. Jon Colbeth, president of Rolls-Royce in North America, explained that the Specter is the first car of the brand for 40% of buyers. And, in that list of new customers, the average age is 35 years. That is, about half of the customers who have the luxury car are new and very young, a reef for the future. The journalist of The Drive He points out that in the same interview event, various vehicles of the firm were exposed and that they had the most striking colors. “They were not grandfather or queen cars (from England), “explains Jerry Perre in the article. And that is precisely one of the keys to success.” New technology, new materials, new designs, everything plays its role, “explains Colbeth. The search for new customers and, above all, younger customers is being incessant by luxury companies that were clearly focused on elderly millionaires such as Rolls-Royce itself. Hence, in recent months we have been surprised with limited editions of the most striking, such as This 490,000 Specter that boasted a violet paint. The Rolls-Royce movement, but even more risky and groundbreaking, is the same as is tried to do jaguar. The British company has decided to break its past, press the Reset button and focus on ultralujo cars trusting that electrical technology can attract a young audience that flees from the boring designs that have been triumphing in this type of cars for years. And the announcement of your new brand image is the best example.

The iPhone camera had me to my noses. Until Google Pixel’s father arrived to fix it

by

I’ve been loading with me for some time Canon R7 Every time I’m on a trip. The reason is easy: I am very tired of the photos of the iPhone 16 Pro. It is not an exclusive problem of this phone, After analyzing all high -end cameras I have been reaching the same conclusion for years: it is of no use to improve the hardware if the defendant is still bad. And why do I consider it bad? Because with sensors that touch the inch and processors more powerful than those of a computer, mobile phones should be closer to a SRFLEX than of the same photos they made five years ago. Almost 10 years ago, there was a company that wanted to change everything with the “computational photography.” That company was Google, who launched in 2016 Google Pixel. In his day, it was a milestone: a mobile that took advantage of artificial intelligence (although at that time there was not so much emphasis on that word) to take much above those of his rivals. At the head of the photography team for the Google Pixel was Marc Levoy, currently an adobe worker. After a few years in silence he has done what no manufacturer has wanted to do: squeeze to the limit the power of a mobile to teach us what he can really do. Why is it important. Adobe has announced very discreetly Indigo Projectan app that applies as we had never seen the principles of computational photography to the iPhone. Until now, no such radical attempt had been made: this application consumes many resources and shows results that, until now, did not seem possible in the automatic mode of a phone. Is the best sample of The stagnant that manufacturers carry (including Google) in mobile photography. And although we spend more than 1,000 euros in a telephone, The camera is always well below what I could really do. Levoy himself makes it clear in his publication: “People often complain about the” appearance of the smartphone “: too bright, low contrast, high color saturation, strong softened and strong sharpness. This prosecuted comes, in part, for the most mainstream user preferences. But when someone spends a grassland on a phone (and in Europe we are doing it more than ever), this begins to be a problem. What is project indigo. This is a free app developed by Adobe Labs and led, among others, by Marc Levoy. The most nerd can enjoy manual controls, but the average user will not have to worry about anything: it is a “normal and current” with which you open, aim and shoot. The key is that, when he takes the photo, he is doing something completely different from what Apple does. This is what Indigo can do with a RAW from the iPhone. At all rag. A few years ago, when Apple talked about Smart HDR, the company showed combinations of up to 9 images to get a photo in HDR. The current number is not known, but Apple’s HDR has not improved substantially in recent years. Levoy does make clear how his app works: 32 PHOTOS IN RAW to create only one, neither more nor less. Combining 32 frames to create a single photo is a very high figure. Thanks to this, less noise is achieved in shadow areas, less reflections, and less overexposure (white parts, very burned), using more low-exposite frames. Thanks to having so many information, the textures are maintained better, the reduction of software noise is less necessary, and the softened is minimized. MAPOO DE TONESO NUGUAL | What can be achieved with a correct tones mapping. Going beyond. Another of the big problems of current photography has to do with HDR, and how shadow areas are crushed (or, vice versa, everything is burned) in scenes that require a high dynamic range. To avoid the classic (and unpleasant) forced HDR effect, this app has its own tone mapping (a fundamental process to obtain information on luminosity and color when dealing with HDR content). In other less complex words: this app processes as adobe wants, And not as Apple wants. The zoom. Indigo’s last key has to do with the zoom, one of the historical weak points of the iPhone. This application, without us noticing, takes multiple photos constantly while it is open (do not fear for your storage, until you shoot the final photo and processed, nothing is saved). This allows, when we take a photo with zoom, they can be combined to obtain a final in more detail. When to use this app. Everything looks great with Indigo, until you wonder how it is possible that a mobile can take 32 photos and process them without flinching. It is not so easy. This application puts the iPhone to work to the fullest, which can cause it to hot, especially in summer. Despite this, if you have time to take a good photo (it takes a few seconds to process) and want to escape that mobile look, this camera is practically perfect. His own developers consider it as an experimental camera app, and in their first phase of development it will be completely free. It is compatible with all iPhone from 12, and it is planned to end up landing on Android soon. Despite being experimental app, it has a great future ahead. Its developers claim that they want to load it with personalized looks, computational video functions, and improvements they show in the potential of well -applied computational photography.

We believed that the large numbers of soldiers dead in combat were a thing of the past. Until the Ukraine War arrived

by

This week a New report Updated from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington. The data, by drudos, left the imagination a few doubts: just over three years after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict has reached low figures that place it between The bloodiest of modern history. We have attended historical statistics to find out how much. The human cost of a stagnant war. As we said, the CSIS study revealed that the total number of dead or injured soldiers amounts to almost 1.4 millionof which around one million are Russians and 400,000 Ukrainians. This figure is even more shocking if it is considered that Ukraine does not publish its official data and that Russia, according to Experts warnsystematically underestimate your losses. The study is based on estimates from American and British sources, in addition to satellite images and field analysis. The slowest war. The work tells more things. For example, despite the huge number of casualties, Russian territorial advances since January 2024 have been practically insignificant: less than 1% of the conquered Ukrainian territory, with an average advance rhythm of just 50 meters per day, even more than even the more expensive offensives of World War I. Today, Russia occupies approximately the 20% of the Ukrainian territorybut without achieving decisive advances. This slowness, together with the Mass destruction Of war material, he has turned the Russian campaign one of the clearest examples of wear war of the 21st century. Irreplaceable losses. However, if something betrays the brutality of the contest in Ukraine, that is the data of the CSIS that estimates that at least 250,000 Russian soldiers They have died in combat, which represents the highest military mortality rate of any Soviet or Russian war since World War II. For its part, Ukraine would have lost between 60,000 and 100,000 soldiers. However, the proportion of forces in the front It is overwhelming: More than 400,000 Russian soldiers in front of about 250,000 Ukrainians, with Russia benefiting from a much larger population and aggressive replacement mechanisms. As We have counted: Moscow has avoided declaring a new general mobilization, but has resorted to Recruitment of prisonersdebtors and people with criminal causes, to whom it offers lucrative contracts or the cancellation of charges in exchange for the military service. CSIS data shows a shocking Moscow casualties against other conflicts where Russia was The historical scope. With the figure offered by the CSIS We have attended the historical statistics of similar war conflicts (excluding civil or genocide wars), all after World War II, to measure the scope and impact of the losses that are taking place in Ukraine on the Russian side. The base is that estimate of 250,000 losses since the beginning of the conflict in 2022. A point and apart. The first data we found is that the estimation of the 250,000 losses makes the Ukrainian conflict The most lethal For Russian forces since World War II, surpassing the losses in Afghanistan (1979–1989), where the USSR lost Around 15,000 soldiersbut in ten years. Comparatively, in the Korean War (1950–1953), China (the main ally of North Korea) lost Between 180,000 and 400,000 fighters in three years of conflict, while the United States registered some 33,700 casualties in combat. Not even Vietnam. In the Vietnam War (1955–1975), United States He suffered 58,220 deathsbut, again, it happened in a period of twenty years. For his part, Northern Vietnam lost Between 400,000 and 1.1 million Of soldiers, although those figures, again, accumulate over two decades. Even in the devastating Guerra Iran -ira (1980–1988), with close to One million combined casualtiesonly Iran exceeded the current Russian figures in a longer period, with estimates of 200,000 to 262,000 dead. Therefore, the intensity of Russian losses, concentrated in a short period, is exceptional in the history of contemporary interstate conflicts. Deep consequences. It is the last of the legs to analyze. Russia, despite having a population greater than Ukraine and, a priori, a deeper human replacement capacity, faces a accelerated erosion of their professional military capacity. Unlike previous conflicts where deaths were distributed in longer campaigns, the current wear of wear (right now around 7,000 soldiers dead per month) threat with structural degrade to its armed forces. If these levels are maintained, Russia could exceed the psychological and logistic threshold that prevents you from sustaining the offensive. In front of wars such as the Gulf (1990–1991), where Iraq lost between 20,000 and 35,000 soldiers In just over a month, or the invasion of Iraq in 2003, where the United States suffered less than 5,000 casualties In eight years, the contrast is, if possible, even more extreme. The war in Ukraine, in terms of direct military loss and temporary concentration, has become an atypical case for its lethality and its potential for internal destabilization for the aggressor country.

Starship has arrived in space, then has lost control. Spacex is costing horrors to get out of the bump

by

Long faces once again in Spacex, despite the advances that Starship’s ninth flight has achieved with respect to its predecessors. And the thing has ended badly for the ship anyway. First Super Heavy. The highest rocket in the world took off seven minutes late at 18:37 of May 27, local time in Starbase. The takeoff was perfect, with 33 of the 33 Raptor engines roaring at the same time, which marks the first reuse of a super heavy propeller. Booster 14 had first flown on flight 7. Although they were restored between Misiones, 29 of their 33 Raptor engines were second hand. One of them, on 314, has taken off today for the third and last time, moving forward in the rapid reuse objective of the two starship stages. Raptor 2 Restored Motors for Flight 9, including 314 with the reference to the PI number Disintegrated in full return. Two and a half minutes after takeoff, the ship turned on its six engines and separated from the propeller. Spacex has tried for the first time a super heavy turn in a controlled direction to save fuel. It has gone well. Next, Booster 14 initiated a more aggressive return sequence, with a higher angle of attack. Six and a half minutes after takeoff, when the propeller had to turn on its engines, it exploded in the air. Due to the experiments in the return maneuver, an explosion was not out of the pools, but it was the worst scenario in this flight phase. The data that Spacex has collected will help to avoid being repeated. Starship has reached space. Meanwhile, the upper stage of the rocket, the Starship 35 ship, continued its trip, reaching for the first time in three attempts a suborbital trajectory that would take it from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. Although the failure streak of the two previous missions has broken (7 due to a harmonic response that caused propellant leaks and 8 for a hardware failure in a Raptor engine), the ship ended up failing anyway. It is the third prototype of the second generation of Starship. All have failed. Starlink satellite models (center) that were left without going out for the gate (right) The gate has not opened. One of the objectives of this flight was the deployment of eight new generation Starlink satellite models, which would have meant the first time Starship released a useful load. Scheduled for about 18 and a half minutes after takeoff, the test could not be carried out because the cargo bay gate, a mechanism that Spacex knows as “fish dispenser”, did not finish opening, forcing the attempt to leave, as happened on flight 3 of Starship. The ship has lost control. The other similarity of flight 9 with flight 3 is that Starship lost control 30 minutes after launch. The ship began to rotate uncontrolled after Spacex detected a leak in some of the fuel tank systems, many of which are used for the attitude control of the vehicle. As on flight 3, Spacex had to cancel another of the important experiments of this mission: the redempted of one of the Raptor engines in the space flight. But the worst of the failure was not to prove, once again, the improvements and experiments related to the thermal shield and the new ailerons of the ship. Spacex lost contact with Starship 35 during the reentry, thus ending a mission with more shadows than lights. The third second generation starship It has ended like its two predecessors: disintegrating.
