The great debate about whether iOS is safer than Android, myths and realities of ‘Breaking Bad’ and much more in 1×09 crossover

by

Can anyone manufacture your own drugs How did it happen in ‘Breaking Bad’? To tell us about the myths and realities of that series and many other things, he has accompanied us In this 1×09 crossover A very special guest: Breaking Vlad. This well -known scientific disseminator is also an original content creator because of his way of talking about chemical experiments, and in the interview we have been able to do, he answers striking questions about the radiation of phones or about the future of hydrogen cars. Presented as sowing by Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia, in this episode the collaboration of Xataka serves to reactivate an old and controversial debate: If iOS is safer than Android. Both platforms have been really reliable for a long time, and perhaps the problem, as the interview reveals, is another. It is also necessary to separate that debate from another in which Apple does take advantage of Google. One thing is security – things are balanced – and another very different privacy, where Apple’s business model – which is not focused on advertising – allows the company to give more guarantees. In 1×09 crossover there is also a place to make a fun debate about false news that we have seen these days – a Chromecast with integrated Tinder? -, and as we always expect your comments and ideas to improve in upcoming episodes.

Just when the batteries were breaking all the records came the ultra-infinity mobiles. China has a lesson for them

by

He Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge He has just come to the market. It is a telephone that presumes finishes and whose main argument is in an ultra -launch design that differentiates it from your family brothers Galaxy S25. The problem? Miracles do not exist, and having less space for components translates into a smaller battery. The only solution to get less size to have a decent battery density is to bet on the Silicon-carbona technology that Samsung has not implemented in its EDGE. Result? A high range with 6.7 inches and 3,900mah, A countercurrent movement of the industry. One day of use. Despite the little battery capacity, Samsung promises that its Galaxy S25 Edge will last a day without too many problems. The problem here is that, for a while to this part, the rest of the manufacturers have been obsessed that their phones last more than a day. In fact, today a day of intensive use is a somewhat poor figure. Devices like him Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, iPhone 16 Pro Maxand virtually any high range from China reaches two days of use or, at least, the day and a half with intensive use. There are no miracles in optimization. The phones They are increasingly powerfulits processors are comfortable between the three and the four nanometers and we have been with optimizations in each of the telephone components to minimize energy consumption. But the new bright screens consume energy, the Snapdragon 8 Elite It is something swallow, and have a phone with the ability to record 8K, execute games in maximum resolution at 120 Hz and, ultimately, to pull with everything, spend drums. A countercurrent. 10,000mahit is what has managed to introduce real to a phone with a habitual thickness. Honor already has phones with batteries of 8,000mahand this year it has been clear that even the old 5,000mah barrier begins to fall short. Speaking an Android phone with 3,900Mah is risky, a lot. We are facing a change of generation in batteries. That day and a half is about to become a new scarce figure, and that is that with the democratization of batteries close to 10,000mAh we will have better autonomies than ever. Silicon-carbon is still a face and incipient technology, but China is squeezing to turn it into the standard of its phones. The solution. Xiaomi herself told us that some of its mobiles land with less battery in Europe with respect to China for a simple reason: The costs. These gigantic batteries are not economical, and manufacturers like Samsung bet on traditional technology to contain the price of their devices. Despite this, the only alternative to view if the ultradelgated phones want to succeed is to bet on silicon-carbon, even if necessary to cut in other specifications. Can. The ultra-of the mobile with good battery exists, and we have examples in the Tecno Spark Slim. 5.75mm for a 5.200MAH battery phone. It is an exception, yes, but it is the proof that it is possible to launch phones with large batteries and record thicknesses. They are not alone. The next stone on the road to the ultra-decaded mobiles will put Apple with its iPhone 17 Air. A phone that, except miracle, will also land with a traditional battery of a fairly content size.

Jay Graber’s story, the CEO that is breaking the silicon valley mold

by

When Jay Graber went up to the stage of Techcrunch In December 2024his message was overwhelming: Bluesky It is built “billionaire proof”. “The armor is in the design,” he said. “If someone bought Bluesky or broke, everything is open source. What happened to Twitter could not happen to us.” With more than 24 million users after the US elections of 2024, Bluesky has become a serious alternative to X. It is not necessary to exaggerate and say that it is already at its height because it is not even much less, but at least there is one Alternative where there was practically only empty. The story of how to get led this little revolution is singular and contextualize your vision of social networks. The origins Born in 1991 in Tulsa, according to Forbeshis mother – a acupunturist who fled from the Chinese cultural revolution – gave him the second name “Lantian” (蓝天), “blue sky” in Mandarin. As he revealed Vanity Fairthis name represented a desire for “freedom without limits” for his daughter, born of his own experiences under an oppressive regime. His father, a professor of mathematics of Swiss origin, completed this multicultural environment that would mark his vision of the world. The coincidence with the name of the company that now directs is casual, Jack Dorsy had already baptized the project as “Bluesky” before. However, it seems a something prophetic, especially considering the vision of freedom and openness that Graber would bring to the project. After graduating in science, technology and society from the University of Pennsylvania, where I monde He reports that he co -founded a student time bank, Graber worked as a engineer in Skuchain and in a factory welding Bitcoins mining equipment, before joining ZCASH in 2016. As revealed in Decode, This early experience with decentralized technologies was fundamental: “I have worked a lot of time in decentralized technologies and I have seen its limitations, but I also believe that there are many limitations in centralized systems.” Bluesky’s birth In 2019, while running Happening Inc., she was invited to a group of experts convened by Twitter. “He was one of the experts in a small chat room,” he recalled during An interview in Decode, the podcast of The Verge “I was very excited. At that time I worked in my own social app, and had been building decentralized social protocols, playing with them, doing a lot of research.” In 2021 It was named CEO of Blueskyalready as an independent company. This independence was a key decision that she promoted. As she revealed, “I insisted that we separate as an independent company. If the captain changed or if that support disappeared, it would lose institutional support for Bluesky, and I really wanted this project to exist.” “Jack had a vision of something better for social networks,” he explained to CNBC. “We are building an open source social network that anyone can take and build on it. No one has been so open or put so much control in the hands of users.” In your conversation with DecodeGraber deepened this vision: “We want this to be the last social identity that you will have to createbecause you can move it between applications and services. You can carry your identity, your relationships and your data with you. “ According to data provided by Emily Liu, spokesman for Bluesky, to Newsweekthe platform added five million new users after the 2024 elections, mainly from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This explosive growth, as reveals The country“after the escaped flight of many users of X was intensified, once the news was made public that Elon Musk had been appointed co -director of the Donald Trump government efficiency department. “It is not entirely clear if there was a stampery as such and what magnitude, but that The dates of the rebound of users of Bluesky coincide with the post -electional. Monetization and leadership The challenge is now monetization. In “The Big Interview” of Wired, Graber announced premium subscriptions For high quality and customization videos. The company has raised 36 million dollarsincluding 15 million capital blockchain. And sooner or later he will have to return that money. “We are not going to build an advertisement algorithm that encloses users,” he told CNBC. With Twenty employees and one hundred moderatorsBluesky bets on an alternative model. As explained in depth to Decode, The platform is developing a “componable moderation” system which will allow users and communities to create their own rules and filters. “We think about the ‘bus problem’,” he explained to Forbes. “We have blocked everything so open that we cannot degrade the experience because we have opened the market to entrepreneurs.” This approach reflects The unconventional leadership style of Graber that, according to The country“He communicates directly with users, he is close and accessible. From his personal account, he writes threads explaining tricks to use better bluesky and usually reveals curious data with a sense of humor.” Rose Wang, Bluesky Operations Director, who met Graber in 2018 during a car trip to Lake Tahoe, describes her way of leading: “What does Jay so special is that in addition to being collaborative is a visionary, capable of anticipating ten steps to what is to come. “ The future Investor Mark Cuban told Forbes That Bluesky sees as a “really social” experience, although he made a nuance: his account in X has ten times more followers, a way of throwing a darting to the low penetration of the first against the second. This disparity does not seem to worry about Graber, who in Decode emphasized that the objective It is not to replicate the model of traditional social networks, but to create something radically different. Well. The future is about to be written. As Graber he told Wired: “We are focused on offering a good experience while we climb.” In Decodeexpanded this idea: “We have to show the first people that this vision can work, which is fun, useful, better than the … Read more

Deepseek has had to pull pure ingenuity, breaking the “more = better” paradigm

by

Satya Nadella, the general director of Microsoft, It is very clear: “Deepseek’s new model is really impressive both for how they have effectively develop a model of artificial intelligence (AI) open source which performs calculations in time of inference as for its incredible computational efficiency. We must take the developments from China very, very seriously (…) As IA becomes more efficient and accessible we will see that its use triggers, becoming a merchandise from which we cannot do without. “ In this statement to FortuneNadella gives credit to the technological triumph that the Chinese company Deepseek has reached. And he honors him that he recognizes him without ambiguity, especially if we are in mind that Microsoft is one of the competitors of the AI ​​industry that has just a few hours ago witnessed how Its value in the bag has fallen in an abrupt way after the emergence of Deepseek R1. Anyway, we can be sure that to a large extent this AI model is the result of the pressure that US sanctions are exerting on Chinese companies. Jensen Huang, the founder and general director of Nvidia, He anticipated it in one of the statements he made at the end of May 2023 in Computex: “China is dedicating mass resources to the implementation of emerging companies specialized in the development of GPU. Do not underestimate them.” This warning was aimed at the US government in a clear attempt to prevent you about the consequences that They will have the sanctions that seek to stop the technological development of China. Huang talks about GPU Chinese designers, but his statement can be extrapolated to Chinese companies that develop AI models. After all, in this area, the GPUs and the great language models go hand in hand. USA will continue to lead in AI A good part of the sanctions approved by the administration led by Joe Biden as of October 7, 2022 seeks to slow down the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry, and also its AI technology. In fact, as we have just seen, the integrated circuits and the AI ​​go hand in hand. These prohibitions prevent NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, among other chips manufacturers for AI applications, sell their most advanced GPU to their Chinese clients. This is presumably the germ of Deepseek’s greatest achievement. According to Depseek the infrastructure used to train its AI model 2,048 NVIDIA H800 chips If we stick to the information that this Chinese company has made the infrastructure used to train Depseek R1 agglutina 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And training with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. This is precisely what Satya Nadella speaks in the statements that we have reviewed a few lines above. These figures are extremely restrained. Some analysts defend that, in reality, its infrastructure brings together 50,000 GPU H100 Buy through intermediaries, but for the moment it is just a conjecture. If we give the statements made by the Deepseek spokesmen to good Financial Timesand for the moment it is reasonable to do so, the reason why their engineers have mounted their training infrastructure on NVIDIA H800 GPUs is that US sanctions have prevented them from accessing the H100 chips, which are more powerful. The prohibitions of November 16, 2023 They prevent Nvidia Delivering to their Chinese clients the H800 GPUs, but presumably at that time Depseek already had its infrastructure assembled. In any case, at this situation the meritorious is that with a relatively modest chip this Chinese company has materialized a remarkable achievement. Depseek’s undisputed success is a victory for China, but it is a partial victory. This technological war at the moment is winning the US. Its advantage lies in an unappealable reality: the country led by Donald Trump controls so much Most GPU manufacturers Like many of the companies that are dedicated to developing AI models. And the latter have access without restrictions on the most advanced GPUs produced by NVIDIA and other companies. China has the Huawei GPU, which They seem to be very competitive In inference processes, and also with those of companies such as Moore Threads, Metax, Biren Technology, Innosilicon, Zhaoxin, Iluvatar Corex, Denglinai or Vast Ai Tech, among others. But, for the moment, it is in a position of clear disadvantage. Even so, this confrontation goes for long, so any conclusion that we reach about which country will finally impose itself in the AI ​​domain, if any, it would be premature.
