We believed that bitcoin volatility was a thing of the past. Then it plummeted to $95,000.

by

The bitcoin roller coaster. If just a month ago bitcoin reached its maximum value of $123,000, now we find ourselves with an extraordinary drop that has reached almost a quarter of its value: this weekend bitcoin reached collapse up to $93,000. The question, of course, is why? The potential reasons. Although on other occasions there have been clearer reasons for sudden positive and negative movements, this time the geopolitical and economic panorama had not undergone major changes. Even so, there are several factors that may have influenced this notable drop. The traditional stock market has also been falling for days, which normally also marks the future of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Some analysts indicate that the US Federal Reserve will cut rates in December, which will make investments in cryptocurrencies less attractive. They all sell: “whales” and holders. That has apparently sparked a rush to sell and a bearish move that has affected all investors. The famous whales with huge amounts of bitcoin seem to have taken the opportunity to collect profits, but even individual investors who had been keeping their bitcoins safe for years (“holders” or “hodlers”, in the slang) have also withdrawn from their positions. Even so, short-term investors (Short Term Holders) have once again been according to CryptoQuant those that have influenced the price the most. A “lost” fortune. According to the crypto analytics company CryptoQuant, about 815,000 BTC have been sold in the last 30 days, the highest figure since the beginning of 2024. In the last month and a half, no less than 1.1 trillion dollarsand many cryptocurrencies have lost all or much of what they had gained during the year. “Extreme fear”. A website called “Crypto Fear & Greed Index” evaluates the state of the crypto market based on messages and movements that occur over the days. In one week that index has gone from “fear” (29) to “extreme fear” (14). Or what is the same: many investors sell out of fear of even steeper falls. Widespread falls. As is often the case in the cryptocurrency market, bitcoin’s movements mark a contagious trend. Ethereum fell 12% in a week to $3,183, while other popular tokens such as XRP, BNB, Tron, Solana, Dogecoin or Cardano were around 16% down. But. There are investors who take advantage of these falls to further strengthen their position. Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy, published the phrase “Big week” in X and denied rumors that it was going to partially withdraw from the market. In fact, there has repeated over and over again that not only was it not selling, but “we have bought bitcoin every day this week.” There are theories for all tastes, and other analysts relate this fall to the so-called M2, a measure of available liquidity. If one compares the trends of M2 and bitcoin, assuresthat reveals that bitcoin will regain ground in the short term. Get ready for the curves. These days we are experiencing significant falls among large technology companies and the fear that the hypothetical AI bubble will burst is especially high. This seems to have influenced investors in the crypto world, who have taken the opportunity to correct positions perhaps waiting for new events (such as the announcement of rate cuts, if they occur). This volatility is different from the old one. The uncertainty and volatility are reminiscent of years ago, when the falls and rises in value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were enormous. The difference now is that for years bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have ended convincing the institutional market. In fact, CryptQuant analysts indicate that “the whales are accumulating (bitcoin) in a big way, and they have not made a profit. And yet they continue to accumulate.” It is something that we have been watching all year.

We believed that the pyramids of Giza did not hide any more secrets. we believed wrong

by

Talk about the pyramids of egypt is to talk about the Great Pyramid of Giza. The one of Cheops is the most colossalthe best preserved, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one still standing. However, it is accompanied by two other vestiges of the past: that of Mycerinos and that of Khafre. That of Mycerinos, or Menkaura, is the smallest of the three, and for years we thought it had only one entrance. We couldn’t be more wrong. The hypothesis. It seems incredible that three of the most studied monuments of human history continue to keep secrets, but what the ancient Egyptians did with these three pyramids was colossal. They follow us surprising so much on the outside as insideand from time to time, as exploration technologies advance, we discover something new. However, although the large one attracts all attention, an archaeologist had his sights set on the Mycerinos. The reason is that, on the north side, the stones that represent the entrance are perfectly aligned and appear more polished than those of the rest of the structure. However, the researcher Stijn van den Hoven He noticed that there was another set of exceptionally polished granite blocks on another face of the pyramid. And, in 2019, he hypothesized an additional entrance to the structure. Non-destructive exploration. Since science is not done alone and must be done, an international team of archaeologists from Cairo University and the Technical University of Munich they got to work to investigate Stijn’s idea. This group is part of the project ScanPyramidswho analyze the pyramids with non-destructive measurement techniques. To do this, they use techniques that are also being used in other places in the world (for example, to discover the secrets of the Mayans). Thus, the ScanPyramids team, analyzed the pyramid of Mycerinos with the latest technology non-invasive analysis: ERTor Electrical Resistivity Tomography. This detects subsurface resistivity variations that reveal cavities or materials of different density thanks to electrodes that penetrate the structures and are computed using three-dimensional inversion algorithms. GPR or georadars. Through electromagnetic waves that penetrate materials and are reflected, anomalies can be found. U.S.T. or ultrasounds. They measure the reflections of sound waves to examine the interior of structures without causing damage. Excavations have revealed these much more polished stones Air-filled anomalies. It is not the first time that this combination has been used at the site, since in 2023 a hidden corridor in the Great Pyramid of Cheops was confirmed using these techniques. And in Micerinos it has also worked. Specifically, two air-filled cavities located directly behind the area of ​​polished granite that van den Hoven observed. The Anomaly 1 It is a cavity located 1.4 meters deep from the eastern surface and would have dimensions of 1.5 meters wide by one meter high. The Anomaly 2 It starts at 1.13 meters deep and measures about 0.9 meters wide by 0.7 meters high. From the Technical University of Munich, the archaeologist Christian Grosse has stated that these techniques allow developing “very precise conclusions about the nature of the interior of the pyramid,” affirming that “the hypothesis of another entry is very plausible” and commenting that these results go in the direction of confirming said entry. The alleged cameras Next steps. Independent researchers who were not involved in the study have stated that the entrances to the pyramids from this era are located on the north face, but that further exploration will determine whether these voids are an anomaly, part of a second entrance as the ScanPyramids team suspects, or “something else.” Now, although these techniques allow us to recognize the interior very precisely, they cannot determine the extent of the cavities due to limitations in the penetration capacity of the tools. They have suggested that the next steps should go in the direction of using techniques such as infrared thermography or muon tomography with cosmic rays in order to have more precise information. Implications. In the end, all these works are supervised by the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt and by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, very interested in seeing them carried out. these discoveries (due to tourism issues) while complying with the standards of care for heritage research. Grosse comments that technology allows us to make discoveries that were unthinkable not so long ago and, when the analysis is completed and it is determined what those air-filled cavities are inside Mycerinos, it could transform the understanding we had until now of the architectural design of this 4,000-year-old monument.

If anyone believed that AMD was going to put sanity in the financial binge of AI, AMD brings you bad news

by

AMD has presented some growth forecasts that have surprised the market: 35% on average annually over the next three to five years, with the AI ​​chip business in data centers growing at an average of 80% in the same period. The company estimates that the total AI chip market will reach $1 trillion by 2030. While AMD has lagged the competition in terms of AI so far, its historic agreement with OpenAIthe specific hardware that is in development and the recent statements by Lisa Suseem to be turning their strategy around. In Xataka Spain wants its own public Hugging Face. The problem is that he is late to a battle that already has winners. An unusual message. AMD has historically been a conservative company in its financial projections. Its CEO, Lisa Su, has been characterized during the years she has been at the helm by a generally prudent and realistic discourse. that now embrace these figures Such optimism represents a notable shift in their communication strategy and signals the extent to which the technology industry is assuming that demand for AI infrastructure will continue to skyrocket. The context of the promises. amd affirms that the largest data center operators are accelerating their investment plans, when just a year ago they predicted a slowdown. According to Su, cited per Bloomberg, these companies see “real value in their businesses” with AI and the pace of infrastructure construction “is not going to stabilize.” The company also claims that its agreements with OpenAI and Oracle could generate tens of billions of dollars in annual sales by 2027. {“videoId”:”x8jpy2b”,”autoplay”:true,”title”:”What’s BEHIND AIs like CHATGPT, DALL-E or MIDJOURNEY? | ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE”, “tag”:”Webedia-prod”, “duration”:”1173″} Why it can be dangerous. AMD is buying into the same hyper-optimistic narrative that have sold NVIDIA and OpenAI about the future of AI. The problem is that the entire technology chain is simultaneously betting on a scenario where the demand for AI chips grows exponentially without brakes. If expectations are not met, because AI models do not generate the expected returns or because OpenAI and other startups do not obtain sufficient funding, the correction could be brutal. Bubble symptoms. Investors like Michael Burry They have already started betting against companies in the sector, even accusing the technology giants of inflating their figures by artificially extending the useful life of their chips to reduce depreciation. Softbank, for its part, sold a few days ago a $6 billion stake in NVIDIA, although assures which was not due to concerns about valuation. The indications that the market may be overheated they multiply. In Xataka OpenAI has released GPT-5.1 with two personalities because 800 million users do not want the same AI Between the lines. AMD needed this coup. Although it has doubled its price this year, it is still second to NVIDIA in the AI ​​accelerator market, the most lucrative segment of the sector. Intel, its traditional rival, doesn’t even have a viable product in this market. To achieve its objectives, AMD is committed to its MI400 chips and the Helios systemwhich will arrive in 2026. Several analysts consider these goals “somewhat aggressive” and “aspirational,” according to collects Reuters. What’s coming now. The company promise reach a double-digit share in the data center AI chips market in the coming years. It remains to be seen if her ability to execute, proven during the Lisa Su era, is enough to transform these projections into reality or if, on the contrary, we are facing another symptom of an industry that has lost touch with caution.

We believed that no open model could outperform GPT-5. A Chinese startup proves us wrong

by

A Chinese startup called Moonshot just launched Kimi K2 Thinkinga gigantic open model with a trillion parameters that has done something that seemed almost impossible: surpass the best proprietary models from companies like OpenAI, Google or Anthropic. If we thought that “Open Source” models could never compete with GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro or Claude, we were wrong. what has happened. This “AI laboratory” had already announced Kimi K2 in July with that gigantic size of one trillion parameters, but now they have released the “Thinking” version with that same size (32 billion active parameters, Mixture of Experts architecture). According to those responsible, the model is capable of maintaining stable use of agentic tools over between 200 and 300 sequential calls. Or what is the same: it can chain long sequences of actions autonomously and apparently without error. The best of all is not that: it is that it surpasses GPT-5 or Claude Sonnet 4.5 in various tests and costs much less than those models. The benchmarks. Those responsible for Moonshot explained how Kimi K2 Thinking achieves the highest scores in Humanity’s Last Exam (general knowledge, 44.9%) and BrowserComp (agent browsers, 60.2%). He is almost at Claude’s level in the SWE software development test, and is also almost the best in another of those benchmarks, LiveCodeBench v6. It is true that in some tests still slightly behind of its “western” rivals, but the achievement is spectacular. More benchmarks. Those responsible for Artificial Analysis have shown their first conclusions after evaluating it with various tests. Thus, they highlight its behavior in agentic tasks that simulate that the model is acting as a customer service agent. In this test it obtained 93% of the maximum, surpassing all its competitors by far (GPT-5 Codex High obtained 87%, for example). They will do more tests, but for now the prospects are fantastic. And on top of that, cheap. On CNBC indicate that training the model cost $4.6 million, a ridiculous figure considering that training proprietary models like GPT-5 It cost about 500 million dollars according to estimates. Using the Kimi K2 Thinking API is also very affordable: $0.6 per million tokens in and $2.5 per million tokens out. GPT-5 Chat costs $1.25/10 respectively, while Claude Sonnet 4.5 costs $3/15 respectively. The details. The model makes use of an INT4 quantization to improve its efficiency without compromising the precision and quality of its responses. Its context window—the “size” of the data we can enter when making prompts—is 256k, a relatively modest figure for large models but still notable. And as a good open model, we can download it to use locally… if we have a real monster at our disposal. The model weighs 594 GB, and for example joining two Mac Studio M3 Ultra It is possible to make it work locally relatively smoothly at about 15 t/s. Alibaba is behindyes. Although the model is developed by an independent startup called Moonshot, this firm has been financially supported by Alibaba, which is becoming an absolute powerhouse in this field. Already not only conforms with developing its own models, which are outstanding (Qwen is the clear example), but is also financing the development of other models such as Kimi K2/Thinking. China and its love for open AI models. During the last few months we have seen how China dominated in the field of open AI models —not “Open Source”—. The Asian giant has adopted an overwhelming philosophy with increasingly better models but which until now seemed to be several steps behind the large proprietary models of OpenAI, Anthropic or Google. This is no longer the case. The race is lively. This achievement represents a new vote of confidence for the open models coming from Chinese companies. It is true that they are huge and that makes it very difficult to use them in practice by end users, but they present an interesting alternative for companies.

We believed that ‘Air’ and ‘Edge’ mobile phones were synonymous with cuts. Huawei wants to explode that idea with a figure: 6,500 mAh

by

The surname “Air” (or “Edge” in another case) is usually synonymous with an ultralight design and, therefore, of sacrifices. We have seen it in smartphones like the Galaxy S25 Edge from Samsung or your own iPhone Air of the signature of the bitten apple. The battery is the first victim in the quest for extreme thinness. However, Huawei seems willing to break this rule with its next Huawei Mate 70 Air after return to the top of the market in his native country. According to a wave of leaks and accompanying photos, the Chinese giant is preparing a device that not only claims to be the thinnest ‘Mate’ in history, but does so by integrating a huge battery. We knew that China had the solution for the battery of ultra-thin mobile phoneshere comes the first demo. A “normal” smartphone battery. This is the figure that is focusing all the attention of Huawei’s next launch. Leaks echoed by media such as Android Authority They point to a massive 6,500 mAh battery. If confirmed, in addition to being the highest capacity of a Huawei mobile to date, it would also dwarf the direct competition in the segment. slim: The iPhone Air has a 3,149 mAh battery, across the street, Samsung puts a 3,900 mAh battery in the Galaxy S25 Edge. An engineering challenge. How has Huawei managed to integrate this battery? Leaks indicate that the phone is built on an aluminum and glass chassis with a thickness of around six millimeters which would help. The images seen online confirm an extremely thin terminal that maintains the aesthetics of the Mate family, including its characteristic circular camera module. This is what the Huawei Mate 70 Air looks like in leaked images. Image: Weibo But without a doubt, the silicon-carbon batteries They are what have allowed the Chinese firm to take the leap. We have seen how these have allowed us to stretch the energy capacity up to 15,000 mAh in the case of Realme (still with certain unknowns about its durability) u 8,000 mAh in the Honor one. Without reaching these figures, the 6,500 mAh of the next Huawei Mate 70 Air seems feasible. It won’t skimp on photography either.. The Mate 70 Air looks at a triple system with a 50 megapixel main sensor (possibly 1/1.3 inch), a 13 MP ultra wide angle and an 8 MP periscope telephoto lens. It seems that it will not have to concede in the field of cameras, an ambition that aligns with Huawei’s strategy in recent times. one that has taken him to the throne of mobile photography recently with his Pure 80 Ultra. In addition, they may use again image sensors manufactured on national soil. Huawei is supported by SmartSensa Shanghai-based manufacturer of CMOS sensors: has more than 350 customers and 420 patents of which 190 are of its own invention. Reservations in physical stores of the Huawei Mate 70 Air. Image: Weibo Kirin Heart. And in two flavors? As expected in post-veto Huawei, the terminal will use an in-house Kirin 5G chip. Curiously, at Huawei Central They talk about two variants: the 12 GB RAM model would use a Kirin 9020B (a version with reduced clock frequencies), while the 16 GB model would use the Kirin 9020A, a SoC that we already knew in the Mate 70 family. It is, again, a reflection of the steps that Huawei has been taking in recent times in order to diversify some chips that no longer hidesas well as to ensure your HarmonyOS ecosystemkey in times when you need resilience. Imminent launch. This is not a long-term rumor: according to multiple leakers, the device is already in the reservation phase in physical stores in China and its official launch could be as soon as November 6. That is, in two days. All this happens while Huawei is already preparing new flagships: the Mate 80, which will try to demonstrate power by compensating for the hardware limitations (more evident in chip manufacturing) with custom software.

The US believed it had an invincible aircraft carrier. Until Sweden “knocked him down” again and again with a tiny submarine

by

Exactly 20 years ago there was a fascinating scene which showed that brute force or dimensions monstrous They are not as fundamental as was believed when it comes to naval warfare. Shortly before that true story, the United States had announced to the four winds its most modern, heaviest and most grandiose nuclear aircraft carrier in history. So they took the most logical step: put it to the test. The exercise that turned out regular. In 2005, during maneuvers off the coast of California, the United States Navy allowed something unusual: Repeatedly engage a small, relatively inexpensive foreign conventional submarine to improve its anti-submarine doctrine. The chosen one was HMS Gotlanda Swedish diesel-electric submarine of just 1,600 tons. The objective was to train the aircraft carrier battle group USS Ronald Reaganone of the most powerful ships in the world, equipped with escorts, anti-submarine helicopters and advanced sensors. What followed it was unexpected: Time and time again, over two years of simulations, the Gotland managed to infiltrate the formation, position itself to fire, and “sink” the carrier without being detected. The result caused concern in Washingtoninterest in Moscow and Beijing, and a profound reassessment of the role of modern diesel submarines in contemporary naval warfare. The Gotland and the silent advantage. Gotland’s success was based on its system Air Independent Propulsion (AIP), specifically a Stirling engine capable of generating energy without needing to take air from outside. This allowed the ship to remain submerged for up to two weeks, maintaining a constant speed and extremely quiet, something that previous diesel versions they could not achieve. While nuclear submarines require cooling systems that generate detectable vibrations and noise, the Gotland could move almost without leaving an acoustic trace. Its hull was covered with materials that decreased sonar reflection, its tower included radar-absorbing materials, and the internal machinery was mounted on rubber shock absorbers to silence vibrations. Furthermore, it had with 27 electromagnets capable of reducing their magnetic signature before specialized sensors. HS Gotland Mobility and stealth. The Gotland maneuverability It was also decisive. Its design with X-shaped rudders and automated control systems allowed sudden changes in course and depth with great precision, making it suitable for operating in shallow coastal waters, where nuclear submarines are most vulnerable. In the context of the maneuvers against USS Ronald Reaganthe Gotland demonstrated that it could approach at great depth, obtain a firing position, and withdraw before American sensors will even detect alterations in the environment. Although in a real combat the aircraft carrier could survive several impacts, the essential fact is that it would have been knocked out of combat, which would change the strategic outcome of any naval operation. The US Ronald Reagan Economic and doctrinal threat. The Gotland cost about 100 million of dollars, which is approximately equivalent to the cost of two embarked F/A-18 aircraft. The USS Ronald Reagan, on the other hand, cost more than 6 billionwithout counting its escort or its air wing. In terms of cost-effectiveness, a relatively affordable submarine demonstrated that could neutralize an asset which represents the core of US naval projection. This revelation resonated especially in China and Russiawhich have since accelerated the development of AIP submarines. Today, China operates multiple submarine variants equipped with Stirling and Russia works on updated versions from the Lada projectwhile countries such as Japan, Germany, France, Israel, India and South Korea also develop or acquire submarines of this type. The challenge is not only technical, but also strategic: a small number of submarines of this type can make it difficult to use aircraft carriers near hostile coastlines, altering the way powers deploy their force. The “no” to diesel in the US. Despite the impact of the exercise, the US Navy decided not to repeat operate diesel submarines. Their reasoning is based on logistics and strategic reach: the United States deploys submarines thousands of miles from their bases, and needs units that can operate for monthspursue targets at long distances and sustain high speeds without the need to recharge batteries. Diesel-AIP submarines are ideal for defending territorial waters or coastal areas, but less suitable for prolonged ocean operations. For this reason, the US Navy has preferred to invest in nuclear submarines and, more recently, in unmanned underwater systems that could complement or replace escort and patrol missions. What the Gotland revealed. The history of HMS Gotland proves that naval supremacy is not guaranteed for size or cost of combat platforms, but for technological adaptation and understanding the strategic environment. Aircraft carriers remain formidable tools for projecting power, but their vulnerability to silent AIP submarines forces rethink doctrinesinvest in advanced detection and reconsider the type of forces used in environments close to enemy coasts. The key lesson was not the symbolic sinking of an aircraft carrier, but the realization that 21st century naval warfare can turn hierarchies upside down that seemed immovable. Those days showed that, in the ocean, silence is worth more than steel, and a small submarine can change the balance of an entire fleet.

Microsoft believed that the purchase of Activision was a round business. A year later I lost 300 million for ‘Call of Duty’

by

The clients of Game Pass They are still trying to recover from the impressive 50% rise of the Ultimate mode rate in the service. A spectacular climb that moves Microsoft’s proposal away from that buffet Economic games of all kinds That once it was, and that he has his clients since then circling a single question: why? And although Microsoft has not yet made anything clear, there are some issues that already have an answer. 300 million. Game Pass had rare He arrived at the service on day onesomething only possible thanks to the purchase of activation by Microsoft. However, it was still extraordinary: ‘Call of Duty’ was, thanks to that acquisition, The most valuable property that Xbox had in its portfolio. And now it was available for all Game Pass users without additional cost. According to Bloombergthe experiment cost Microsoft 300 million dollars. Internal affairs. This movement is the last and most striking of this type that Xbox has given, determined to drown its rivals with strategies that meant a high cost in sales. Bloomberg states That, as seven anonymous informants have told the environment, getting as powerful as powerful as’Forza Horizon 5‘ either ‘Halo infinite‘Internal fractures already supposed due to the important sales that were lost by placing these games available to all Game Pass subscribers. According to The Vergethe discussion about ‘Black Ops 6’ was even greater, and it was not for less. In An interview with Windows CentralBobby Kotick, an Activision Ex-Cecement, already claimed that due to having spent his career in Los Angeles, he had seen with disgust how “large media companies had transferred their contents to these subscription streaming services, which had negatively affected business results.” The story was repeated. It was clear. Ign counted at the time That the movement triggered the subscriptions to Game Pass, as expected, and the ‘Cod’ itself went up: 23% more than the previous delivery, ‘Modern Warfare 3’. But there is an important nuance: 82% of those sales were in PlayStation, in opposition to Xbox and PC. Yes, subscriptions had risen, as expected, but not enough: just 16%. According to The calculations that Kotaku doesto compensate for the 300 million copies of the game that Activision (and therefore, Microsoft) did not sell, it would have needed an impossible: 15 million new monthly subscribers to Game Pass (or 1.25 per year). Drink for pain. Again, according to Kotaku calculations, the remarkable price increase in the Ultimate rate relieves these numbers for Microsoft: it would need 10 million new subscribers to compensate for those losses. Something that, without a doubt, is far from the possibilities of the service, but we get an idea of ​​to what extent the climb was an urgent need for Microsoft. Bloomberg states that Microsoft Amy Hood’s CFO has asked the division of games to find more ways to raise benefits, so new increases are not ruled out at all, inclusion of advertising or limitations in the characteristics of the Tiers cheaper to encourage subscribers to pass to Ultimate. A purchase at all. Everything summarizes well in the statements of the specialized analyst Joost Van Dreunen: “Game Pass has not provided the explosive growth that Microsoft anticipated in the post-Compra of Activision era, and they have realized that their structural costs do not align with their pricing model.” That is, Microsoft foresaw a notable impulse of subscriptions thanks to blows to the table such as the arrival of ‘Black Ops 6’, and it has not been so. Crisis policy is approaching in Microsoft (which, by the way, states that He does not leave his plans to continue in the hardware business) and, without a doubt, it will have an impact on our pocket.

We believed that the J-20 was Beijing’s great furtive jewel. The new images of the J-50 show that there was something else in development

by

“We will strive to achieve the fundamental modernization of national defense and the Armed Forces by 2035, and to make the popular army a World Class Force in all aspects for the middle of this century. ”With these words, Xi Jinping drew in 2017 A military horizon that then sounded ambitious. It could have been in rhetoric, in a gesture designed to dazzle. But in this China the plans are rarely artifice fires: they become state projects, with short and medium term goals conceded into strategies that look forward to decades. And the truth is that a good part of those goals have already begun to materialize. China is not characterized by hurry, although it advances with a speed that surprises. In 2003 he put his first Taikonauta in orbit when the United States and Russia (with the Soviet inheritance in between) accumulated half a century of experience in the space race. Two decades later, Beijing has raised its own orbital infrastructure and a program that does not give brake signals. The same happens on the mainland. In the early 2000s there were no high -speed trains in the country. Today it manages the most extensive network on the planetan example of accelerated transformation. And in defense, which is the focus of this analysis, the jump is equally forceful: Shipyards capable of throwing large -scale ships, aircraft carriers with electromagnetic catapults and last generation combat fighters. J-50, from rumor to the images As Twz collectsthe most clear images have appeared so far from a heavy poacher attributed to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. In the public conversation it is identified as J-XDs and, unofficially, such as J-50. The material is not verified, but fits with less clear previous shots and does not show obvious indications of manipulation. We see a design without a tail that analysts framed in the next combat generation. J-50 The plane dispenses with tail surfaces, presents tilting pales that appear deflecting down and mounts 2D nozzles with vector thrust and folded bordering. The nose is long, of diamond geometry. Air shots are trapezoidal and adopt a DSI scheme. Under the nose a fairing appears for the electro-optical system and the cabin is a car. Today we do not know if the photographed is a technological demonstrator or a configuration closer to production. There are also no confirmed data on definitive sensor packagepropulsion or calendar. As a context, in parallel there have been advances of the J-20s Biplaza and the J-35 Naval. The focus, in any case, is in this design without a tail that suggests a parallel development to that of J-20. J-20s The photographs provide form, but leave unanswered key issues. It is unknown which propeller equips the plane, what will be its sensor configuration, what communications or electronic warfare systems and what arsenal is planned for him. In any case, EJ-50 becomes the clearest sample that Beijing is willing to experiment with radical concepts in military aviation. A design without a tail, with mobile wounds and vector nozzles, involves entering a land that few have dared to explore. The unknown is how much of what we see corresponds to an isolated prototype and how much is part of a long -distance program. What seems out of doubt is that China wants to position yourself at the forefront of the next generation of poachers.

We always believed that the light guns fired invisible rays, but the reality is the opposite: it was the TV that shot

by

Recognize it: if you are old enough to have played withA Light GunFor a while you thought that this gadget worked by firing rays of invisible light that television detected. Was it the position of the gun? The distance? Did the glass of the screen really knew when the goal was in front? Actually the solution was much simpler and ingenious. The light ray is in reverse: the gun is the receiver. Guns of what. First, let’s remember the history of the device: the light guns in video games began to appear in the thirties in mechanical arcades and evolved towards electronic video games in the 1970s and 1980s. Nintendo already experimented with early versions with its video shooting series for famicom in 1984, whose gun was not futuristic, but it seemed like a western revolver With the theme of the game. Nintendo arrives. The device of this most popular type was Nintendo Zapper for Nespossibly because he was accompanied by one of the most iconic games of the genre, ‘Duck hunt’. The Zapper was already tumbos since 1984 with the version for Famicom, but in 1985 it became the Zapper of NES and left in the United States with the science fiction design we know, automatically becoming a pop icon. In 1988 it was redesigned with bright colors to resemble even less to a real weapon and comply with the legislation. There were up to 17 official games for Zapper. In Xataka This genius has transformed the ZNA Zapper is an incredible laser ray gun But … how did it work? Actually the Zapper and the rest of the light guns of the time were not emitters, but light receptors. The process that followed to work was: when the player clenched a trigger, the screen turned black during a Frame. In the following, the objects to which they have to become white blocks, and the rest remains black. The human eye can barely distinguish this pair of Frames Inside the gun was a light sensor that detected if the area to which it was aimed had changed to Blanco. The game determined what objective had been “shot” according to the time in which this white block appeared, since each white objective was sequentially shown in a different frame. And of course, if the sensor detected the white light inside the expected interval, the shot was counted as a success. Only for old people. The ingenious method only worked on CRT screens, as technology depended completely on the speed and characteristics (on the shortcomings, let’s go) on the soda speed of the cathodic tube. On LCD screens, plasmas and other modernities, the delay changes, and so does the soda technology. What makes ancient games “rare” on modern televisions is also what prevents the gun sensor from correctly capturing the light and location of whites. {“Videid”: “X9HMC3A”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Nes Mini, Review and Spanish analysis”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “250”} More guns. Then, especially in the field of recreational, more sophisticated guns arrived, such as ‘Operation Wolf’, which was actually a command that determined where it pointed according to the position of the gun, fixed in the machine of the machine (a method as ingenious as that of the Zapper, playing with what the player who is happening is believed). And then they arrived, in fact they do in machines that remain in operation, increasingly sophisticated systems, and that use infrared sensors or cameras to determine where the player points out. But the adorable imagination and naivety of the Zapper give him a unique personality.

We believed that Nvidia was the company that had benefited most from AI. Micron is ridiculous

by

Micron is at historical maximums in Nasdaq, and rightly. The American manufacturer is taking a lot of benefit from the FEVER through the AI ​​and the data centers. The demand for memory chips is growing extraordinarily, but that has two faces. A good for micron, and another bad for customers and consumers. They all love micron. Citigroup analysts They promoted these days Micron’s target price from $ 150 to 175. The reason: according to its data, the company will have financial results “much better than consensus” when these are presented on September 23. Micron is doing so well that it even exceeds the growth of Nvidia. Source: Bloomberg The chips devastate. Yeah A week ago The shares were around $ 125, yesterday they closed at $ 150 and before market openings that figure is $ 155. This year the value has already grown by 81%, exceeding 33%Nvidia growth, although it is also true that the company led by Jensen Huang grew especially in 2024 (approximately 170%). Other companies such as Broadcom (55%), SK Hynix (91.88%in the South Korean bag), or TSMC (31%) also show an outstanding growth in the bags. Micron’s “Compute Networking” division is the one corresponding to the data centers. As can be seen, sales in that segment are already more than half of all of the last quarter. Source: Paul/Note. The commitment to HBM memories goes well. Micron has dedicated many resources to boost the manufacture of HBM memories, used precisely in the accelerators (GPUS) that are used in data centers. Independent analysis confirm the increasing weight of both these memoirs and the AI ​​segment in the micron business Micron will raise prices. According to Citi analysts, workloads for the inference of AI need more DRAM and NAND memories, and demand is spectacularly. The problem is that this demand will overcome the supply, and Micron will take advantage of the occasion to do something logical (for her): upload prices. Up to 30%. This is what it indicates Trendforce And also Some media In China, according to which Micron has notified its distribution channel partners today that the prices of their storage products will rise between 20% and 30%. In fact, the quotes of the DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 memories have been suspended among others: “All prices agreed with customers will be canceled and the quotes will be suspended. All products are expected to stop quoting for a week. “That involves not only industrial and consumer memories, and the chips for the automotive industry will rise in price by 70%. Sandisk and TSMC have already announced up. Both TSMC and Sandisk announced Price increases For memory chips in the past days. That will affect its great clients –apple, Nvidia, among others – and as indicated In Techpowerup It is a clear confirmation that manufacturers want to maintain their gross margins. In Sandisk there have been 10% prices due to the “growing demand” of the AI ​​market, data centers and mobile devices. At the moment, they indicate In Trendforcethat climb has encountered resistance from customers. In Xataka | Intel’s recent history is that of a failure. Now he has found a niche from which to resurface: HBM memories
