Huawei is beating income record thanks to China. It is just the beginning of his new era

by

Huawei has presented Your annual results report corresponding to 2024. The third smartphones manufacturer in China has achieved strong acceleration in its consumption business, with a significant increase in income, and not so good news in regards to its net benefit. But the key to Huawei’s results is not in the numbers. It is in how it is being reconvirt as a company to deal with the sanctions imposed by the United States. How is he going to Huawei. Since the Trump administration Break completely with the Chinese giant in 2019the company has drawn different action plans to rekindle its consumption business. Strategies that seem to be operating, since in 2024 Huawei increased by 38.3% the interannual income of this division, reaching a total of 339 billion yuan at the end of the year. It is the second best in income in the company’s history, behind the record reported at the end of 2019. Huawei sales last year have two main responsible: telecommunications infrastructure and the consumption area. Two pillars representing about 82% of the company’s total income. Huawei advances in semiconductor matterdodging a good part of US restrictionsnext to Strong support of the Chinese government They have significantly promoted sales. In the mobile phone market, Huawei experienced an interannual increase of 37%, while the telecommunications infrastructure division grew 4.9%, driven by the deployment of 5G networks and the start of the commercialization of 5.5g networks. Despite the record in income, Huawei’s net benefit has fallen by 28%. There is a weight of weight for it and it is good news: the company is making more investment than ever in innovation and development. Diversify, the new key to the company. Huawei plans to increase investment in R&D in the next three years to seek opportunities for growth and differentiation with respect to its competitors. The area of ​​consumption and telecommunications remains the main pillar for its income, but diversifying will be one of the keys to Huawei within three years. Huawei is making investments in new sectors, such as infrastructure for electric vehicles and renewable energy. Related to the engine scope, the company is offering automotive solutions for smart vehicles, such as ADAS and software systems. This last business grew by 474.4% last year, and projects such as Avat 11 either Luxeed S7companies that develop luxury vehicles with Huawei support and technology, are the sign that this will be one of the next income pillars for the company. The foreigner, the main barrier to overcome. The commercial war between China and the United States He has shown that the Asian country can maintain the profitability of its companies without depending on foreign partners. However, Huawei still faces difficulties to expand outside China. In Europe we are still waiting for movements such as Harmonyos Next in China, the first operating system developed 100% by Huawei outside the Android nucleus. This movement will be key to determining whether the company can consolidate its technological independence globally, depending on the partners to capture in our territory. He achieves it or not, the key is that Huawei does not need success in any other country outside his to remain profitable as a company. Although, of course, to compete with the best you have to be where the best. Image | Xataka In Xataka | The long goodbye of Huawei in Spain: of strategic partner to Technology Non Grata

His actions are biting from the beginning of the year and every day they will be worse

by

When we write these lines, a Tesla action costs $ 222. The figure is already lower than that registered on November 5, 2024, the day on which the United States elections were held. And it is very close to matching the $ 213 that cost an action at the end of October, the lowest figure in the last six months. What has happened? 15%. That is what has been left on the last day in the bag before writing this article. Is the last fall and the confirmation that the company approaches the border of 200 euros in a collapse that does not seem to find soil. With the 222 dollars with which it was closed yesterday it is confirmed that the company has zamped all the growth registered since Donald Trump was confirmed as New President of the United States in the last elections of November 5, 2024. 40 dollars. It is the value per action that Tesla has lost during the last weekend. On Friday, having a small part of the company cost 262 dollars, a figure that was already another 22 dollars lower than that registered that same Monday, March 3 when the cost of it was estimated at $ 284. The Tesla fall on Monday, March 10 was, yes, in tune with the rest of the New York Stock Exchange companies. Alphabet, goal, Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft … The main companies lost money but in no case registered the fall of Tesla on a day when, yes, there was The biggest drop in the bag since 2022. Elon Musk, a value. The performance of the last weeks affects the idea that Tesla’s actions comply with what some define as Cult stock: Actions that base their performance on future promises instead of their current results. It is the explanation to understand how the company has been supported by investors despite giving losses for years and years. That Blind cult to the figure of Elon Musk and its continuous promises on products of all kinds that They have come late (and Not too well) They tried the actions for their proximity to Donald Trump when it was learned that the latter was done with the seat in the oval office. Disproportionate growth. “When the actions They overvalue so much upa fall of the same size is expected. “With these words, Gina Bolvin explained, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Groupto CNN Why the performance of Tesla’s actions in recent weeks is being so bad. Readjustment. On December 17, just a month and a half After the United States electionsTesla shares reached its maximum peak with a value of $ 476. Today they are worth less than half of that price. The collapse has been sustained but except for specific rebounds, has fallen with a crash until touching the barrier of 200 dollars/action. With Musk’s closeness to the White House, it was taken for granted Tesla gained strength. The company’s owner has supported the withdrawal of subsidies to the purchase of electric cars and that, in the short term, should favor a company in clear competitive advantage within the US market. Advances in autonomous driving were also expected and His future Robotaxi. The raw numbers. However, the perspectives of the actions have encountered a wall: reality. Last year was the first in which Tesla failed to overcome sales to the previous year, despite try to avoid it by all possible means. And the first two months have left loud falls in all markets, From China to the United States, going through Europe. We talk about 54% falls in Germany (the largest electric car market in Europe) and 63% in France. In Spain, where stop selling cars has an impact on more pronounced percentage sales falls, 75.50% were left in January. And the problem is not just stop selling vehicles. Its biggest problem is that other companies demonstrate with sales that are not so far from Tesla. Beyond a matter of low sales due to a bad reputation, which Tesla has gone from a market share between electric 29% in Europe to 6% current It is a very bad news for the company. Turn around. Tesla seems to need two shoves. The first, of course, turn your sales numbers. Their numbers should begin to improve little by little. The Tesla Model and its best selling car, has to arrive in Europe with its update and should be a commercial impact that we will still take to see in numbers, since the registrations of the same will begin in March. Update. After months rumoredit is very likely that a good number of buyers have waited for the image soda to take it. It started selling a high price But it is now available in all its versions. It remains to what extent Tesla can trust those postponed sales. Of course, time will also say if Tesla continues to deflate in China. In a country where the electric car is being renewed at a devilish pace, it will be necessary to see if the update of the Tesla Model and is not far behind a country that has seen how in recent days the Xiaomi Su7 ultra swept reservations and Byd already throws drones from their cars. And the Robotaxi. We must also remain very attentive to the future of the autonomous driving of Tesla. The robotaxi is the Great Promise of the Companywhich should allow her to open a business line that will lead her to another financial dimension. The great promise is that it is working and generating performance in 2027. However, the toughest competitors They have burned billions of dollars For years and their results are being very poor. The short time space to put a robotaxi in the market and the performance that until now have had the functions of autonomous driving of Tesla do not incite to be optimistic with which, at least, the announced plans are fulfilled.

Spacex has launched 8,000 Starlink satellites in five years, but they are not enough. And we are beginning to understand why

by

Starlink satellite Internet service is the golden egg chicken that is helping Finance the Starship program and other ambitious Spacex projects. But for it to work, Spacex cannot stop launching satellites. Starlink is a commercial success. Spacex announced Friday That Starlink had exceeded 5 million customers, two more than he had a year ago. The satellite Internet service is now available in 125 countries, and has also been integrated into more and more aircraft, ships and cruises. With the deployment of the first Direct To Cell constellation, satellites that in addition to the usual connections include cell connectivity, Starlink has also started working as a service for telephone operators. T-Mobile already offers in the United States The option of never running out of coverage. A sum and follows for the Golden Eggs of Spacex. Spacex numbers. According to a Payload reportSpacex invoiced $ 13,1 billion in 2024, 8,200 million of which came from Starlink. It is almost double what Starlink had entered the previous year. More difficult to calculate is how much it costs Spacex to put the satellites into orbit. We know that Starlink is a profitable businessbut we do not know the internal cost of launching a Falcon 9 rocket full of satellites. We know that it is much less than other rockets cost, because their first stage is able to land and take off at least 26 times; But not how much. We have, yes, a starting point. Elon Musk said a few years ago in an interview they aspired to A cost of 15 million dollars by launch. Taking into account that Spacex launched 134 Falcon 9 rockets last year, and that 96 were Starlink missions, at least 1,440 million dollars of Starlink’s revenues were used to cover the launch expenses of the satellites, to which the manufacturing costs, jobs, etc. The elephant in the room. In total, Spacex has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites, of which 6,000 are still active. The others no longer work or have burned in the atmosphere. Except for failure (such as the geomagnetic storm that caught a Starlink lot), satellites have a five -year -old useful life. The elephant in the room is that this useful life depends mainly on a physical appearance: satellites unfold in the low terrestrial orbit and reduce their height due to the effect of orbital decay, until disintegrating by friction with the atmosphere. Spacex cannot stop launching satellites. And you have to do it at an even greater pace to continue adding customers, while replenishing the satellites that are resenting. 100 reentrades in a month. Five years have passed since Spacex began to regularly launch Starlink satellites, and the effects are being noticed. According to an analysis by astrophysician Jonathan McDowell, At least one Starlink satellite He resents in the atmosphere every day, but January beat the record with 120 resentments. Many occur during the day, so they are not visible. Those that occur during the night are often a show of fleeting stars produced by the metals that vaporize In the atmosphere. The economic and environmental implications of all this are about to see, because Spacex is the only company that usually reuses its rockets and, therefore, the first to build a satellite constellation as large as Starlink. Perhaps the entry into Starship service changes the equation, but the order of the factors is clear: Starlink and the constellations that arrive later are condemned to eternally replenish the satellites that come out for those who enter.

The United States is beginning to dismantle the load network for electric cars, according to leaks

by

Donald Trump had a clear objective on his arrival at the White House: dismantling how many Biden administration policies could. Within what the former executive fostered, there were measures to accelerate the decarbonization through the commitment to renewable energies and the electric cars. After a movement that put the legs up the US aspirations with the electric carThe Verge and CPR News claim that one more step will be taken soon: to dismantle thousands of electric car loading points Throughout the country, in addition to removing electric cars bought by the Biden government. Federal buildings without plug. The Colorado Public Radio It was the first means to echo this. They claim to have access to an internal email and several sources that point to the administration of general services, or GSA, is working to align with the current administration. And that implies closing load stations. The GSA is responsible for administering buildings that are owned by the federal government, a task that performs throughout the country. According to an email you have seen The Vergethe GSA plans to announce the gradual closure of the loaders network at some point in last week. Some offices would have already begun to pull the plug and in others, in which there are contracts with the network suppliers, the loaders will be disabled once these contracts expire. To the clean point. When this happens, neither the vehicles owned by the government nor the individuals of the workers can load at those points. During the Biden mandate, the GSA was responsible for implementing a presidential plan to gradually eliminate the use of gas propelled vehicles. The idea It was that, of the 650,000 vehicles that the federal government has, more than half were replaced by electric. That is why recharge points began to be installed in federal buildings, but with the new plan in progress and the intention of not going to electric cars, those chargers would now not make sense. According to The entity itself, in March 2024, more than 58,000 electric vehicles had been commissioned and, to the 8,000 recharge points in government buildings, another 25,000 would be added soon. Before and after Trump “They are not critical for the mission”. There was a map that showed in real time the location and status of these load points, but the only way to Consult it It is via Wayback Machine, since that section of the web was deleted a few days ago. According to the sources of The Verge and CPR, the electric vehicles they already had will stop using, but it is not clear if they will be sold or stored. And the message issued by the GSA in the filtered communications could not be clearer: “We have received instructions that all the load stations owned by the GSA are not critical for the mission.” Does not a puppet with a head. In Wired they echoed plan of the GSA to sell approximately 500 buildings as part of the efforts of the Trump government for “Clean” public administrationsomething that is also aligned with the Doge department leading Elon Musk. The most striking of all this is that the GSA and the Government not only will not go to the electric car, but to dismantle points that prevent the workers of those buildings from carrying their particular electric cars while they are in their job.

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

by

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

Deep Research is not just a new AI function. It is the beginning of the end of intellectual work as we know it

by

Elon Musk’s new AI, Grok 3it is already official. Among its promoted capabilities is a function called ‘Deep Search’, suspiciously similar to the Deep Research that Google coined and copied Openai. It is normal: in recent weeks we have seen almost all IA giants announcing similar capabilities. It is a new trend in AI that goes beyond incremental improvements. These systems can navigate the web, analyze multiple sources, synthesize information and produce detailed reports on an issue. And with a level of sophistication that is dangerously approaching the work of many human analysts. In any field. The difference with traditional applications is great. Instead of returning some Tokens In seconds, they return information pages in minutes. And neither does it have anything to do with searches: it does not return a list of semantically related links, but can understand complex questions, decompose them in parts, investigate each aspect by consulting dozens of sources and assemble a coherent analysis citing their references. In less than ten minutes. The results are impressive. OpenAI said – and we are verifying that it is basically true – that Your Deep Research can do in half an hour what would take days to professional analysts. And although it makes occasional mistakes (such as a factual skate, or the appointment of a source that does not exist), the general quality of the result is good enough for many practical purposes. This supposes A shot to the flotation line of much of the current intellectual work. The analysts junior of consultants, the researchers who review literature, the lawyers who prepare preliminary reports or the financial advisors doing business analysis. A great portion of your work is to collect, synthesize and present information that you drink from many sources. Like any Deep Research. It is not that these systems will completely replace intellectual workers. They still have important limitations: They cannot access private or not published information. From time to time they confuse sources or draw erroneous conclusions. They lack the expert criteria for certain analysis. Nevertheless, They can already automate much of the repetitive work and “low level” that occupies many professionals today. This also leads us to A paradox: Deep Research systems will surely increase the productivity of the most qualified workers, who can take advantage of them to enhance their ability; But the jobs that used to serve as entry, training field to end up being one of those experts are put at risk. The Deep Research have potential to alter the professional trajectories of any knowledge -based industry. It is another example of how AI not only automates manual work, but also It goes into territories that we believed reserved for the human intellect. The question is no longer whether IA can do that intellectual work, but how much of that work will continue to make economic meaning if it is made pro human. There will be companies that due to ignorance, for cynicism or pride will prefer to ignore these capacities. They are the most exposed will be at the risk of being left behind. For the rest of us, We have as a pending task to think about how to manage this transition: The one that can make obsolete many functions that we believed automation.

Three years after the beginning of the war, Europe wants to enter. The problem is that there is only one prepared nation: Ukraine

by

Europe has decades without a direct armed conflict in its territory, with the exception of Yugoslavia wars in the 90sthe last great episode of violence in European soil. Since then, security in the continent has been marked by A strategy based on deterrence and diplomacymore than in military confrontation. And, suddenly, the conflict in Ukraine recalled that fireworks It is not the same as direct fire. Europe before Ukraine. As we said, the European armed forces have been reserve for a long time. In fact and how we will see, mostly they have been reduced and adapted to a context of stability, with investments limited in defense and a focus on Peace maintenance and humanitarian assistance operationssuch as missions in Balkans, Africa or the Middle East. Despite the growth of NATO and its presence in Eastern Europe, European armies have been more accustomed to acting in controlled scenarios that to prepare a direct confrontation against a weight opponent such as Russia. Fireworks. In fact, this approach has led to many military operations from European countries being Mainly exercises, joint maneuvers and drills in allied countries such as Slovakia, Poland or Latviabut without the real experience of a conventional combat against a military power. And it is not the same to deploy troops for an exercise in the Baltic countries to face in battle against a force like the Russian army. Enter the war. Under all this context we arrive at this week. A few days ago several European leaders have gathered in Paris to discuss the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine as part of A possible peace agreementalthough the viability of this measure depends largely on the support of the United States. In fact, the summit was promoted by the decision of the Trump administration of exclude Europe from negotiations They started in Saudi Arabia between Washington and Moscow, although Trump has suggested that Europeans could perform “a peace maintenance role.” Plans and divisions. And then Europe seems to have realized that the “defense” had it careless. According to The Washington Postsome European countries consider The deployment of up to 30,000 soldiersthat, yes, they would not be on the front line, but as a deterrence in case of a resumption of the conflict. Another option, or plan B, is the one that They have called “resettlement force” destined to protect Ukraine from future Russian attacks in case a peace agreement negotiated by the United States is reached. That said, France is the country with the most advanced plans estimating that could contribute almost 10,000 soldierswhile the United Kingdom, through its prime minister Keir Starmer, has opened The possibility of a British contribution. And so far, because the rest of the countries have shown a more ambiguous position. Sweden and the Netherlands, for example, They do not rule out the shipment of troopsbut they have not made a specific decision. Germany, Poland and Spain have rejected the idea, At least for now. Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz emphasized that Any solution should be based on a strong Ukrainian forcewhile Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland, said that Warsaw “does not contemplate sending Poles soldiers to Ukraine.” For its part, the Spanish government was blunt when pointing out that Peace is still far and only depends on Putinmaking it clear that any military mission should define objective, participants, mandate and leadership. Strategic objectives. If the “plan B” is given, with a peace agreement underway, the main mission of this eventual “resettlement force” would be guarantee the safety of Ukrainian airspaceallowing the reopening of commercial flights, and protect maritime trade in the Black Sea, fundamental for grain exports and other essential goods for the Ukrainian economy. It would also be prioritized The protection of key infrastructure such as Public Plant and Public Servicesthat have been constant target of Russian bombing since the beginning of the war. Ukraine proposes a broader approach. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky stated that Ukraine’s security does not necessarily require foreign troops in his territory. Proposed The creation of “Armed Forces of Europe”capable of responding on land, sea, air and artificial intelligence before any Russian aggression. He also stressed that advanced air defense systems would be effective measures to strengthen security without requiring permanent foreign troops. The elephant in the room. No doubt, Europe’s plan faces important diplomatic obstacles, the first of all: United States support It is, at the moment, uncertain. Although the Trump administration has insisted that European troops must guarantee the security of a future peace agreement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made it clear that They must be part of a mission not related to NATO and not be protected by article 5 of mutual defense. Not just that. Even in the uncertain scenario of a peace agreement, the mission and role of Europe would require an American “backstop”that is, a support from the United States in case of a military escalation. Although there are no specific details, this support is expected It focuses on aerial power with operations based on Poland and Romania. In this regard, Starmer and Macron will travel to Washington next week To press Trump and ensure that the United States provides this strategic support. “Old” defenses. In the background, what is showing is a great weakness in its defenses, possibly oxidized. In fact, the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, warned this week at the Munich Security Conference that Ukraine is making weapons faster and less cost than any other country in Europe. It is not a trivial detail. It does so despite being at war, which shows the slowness of the continent in strengthening its military capacity. Frederiksen urged to reduce bureaucracy and increase arms production in collaboration with the United States emphasizing that Europe can no longer act as if it were in peacetime. The rise of the Ukrainian military industry. From the Russian invasion in 2022, Ukraine has exponentially increased its armament productionmanufacturing missiles, obuses and large -scale drones. In 2024, 30% of the military equipment used … Read more

the future where AI works for us from the computer is beginning to become a reality

by

OpenAI presented ChatGPT in 2022. In 2023 it arrived GPT-4 together with the innovator ‘Her’ style voice mode. In 2024 the reasoning model debuted o1. And 2025? The AI ​​company just announced Operatora product that promises to become one of the great protagonists of the year. Sam Altman and his team have presented live How does this tool work that puts people at the center of the scene? AI agents. Currently, as we’ll see, it can perform some actions in the browser, although the ambition is that, over time, it can handle more sophisticated tasks. This is what Operator looks like in action We are witnessing an initial launch. Operator is still in the research phase, but OpenAI has made a publicly available preliminary version which can be accessed from operator.chatgpt.com. The limitation? That not everyone will be able to have access to it. At the moment, it is only available for ChatGPT Pro users, the level of 200 dollars per month. The company has also noted that access to its latest product is limited to the United States. He has said that “it will take a while” to reach Europe, and that it will be available to more users “in the coming months.” The staggered launch likely responds to regulatory issues, as we have seen in the past with products that landed in the US market first. In development. Images | OpenAI In Xataka | “The objective is not to compete with ChatGPT”: we spoke with the creators of ALIA, the 100% Spanish AI, to understand its future
