Iran has found the antidote to the Israeli iron dome. Is called Fattah and overcomes the speed of sound

Iran found A weakness In systems of Israeli defense. His offensive was focusing on the use of unconventional threats marked by Shahed drone swarms whose combat loss was very small compared to the missile cost to tear them down. Israel’s response was swift: fronts to unmanned devices He launched the Sarafcombat helicopters. Now the conflict has entered a new “hypersonic” phase. A hypersonic missile. On June 18, Iran marked a milestone in his confrontation with Israel to launch Your ballistic missile Hypersonic Fattahcapable of reaching at least match 5 speeds (and estimated, According to Iranbetween Mach 13 and Mach 15). This projectile, solid fuel, guided with precision and equipped with a mobile nozzle in its second stage, He managed to cross Israeli antimisile defense systems in what was defined by the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (CGRI) as a “turning point” in the Operation “True Promise III”already in its eleventh phase. Not just that. Iran He presented the Fattah As a symbol of the end of Israeli aerial invulnerability, stressing that its deployment represents a direct blow to the dissuasive capacity of Tel Aviv. The initial reports indicated FIRE AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGES in areas of the center of Israel as a direct consequence of the impact. Characteristics and innovation. The Fattaah missile represents one of the most ambitious bets of the Iranian Aerospace Program. It was presented officially in 2023 as a national technological revolution. With a scope 1,400 kilometers And a maneuvering capacity both inside and outside the atmosphere, this missile was designed to effectively avoid conventional defensive systems. In that sense, its design is key, which incorporates A re -entry vehicle maneuverable (Marv), which allows you to change direction in the final phases of your trajectory to evade aerial defenses. Your solid fuel engine gives you an immediate response to the launch and your advanced guide system, as we said, next to an orientable thrust nozzle, allows you to execute unpredictable maneuvers that hinder your interception. Unlike traditional missiles, its trajectory can vary dynamically during the flight, which makes it a practically unattainable goal for air defenses that depend on predictable trajectories. A fattah missile National symbol. The missile is much more in National Key. In fact, he was baptized by the leader himself, Ayatolá Ali Jameneí, who also made him a propaganda symbol With the phrase “400 seconds to Tel Aviv” printed In Hebrew on a banner hanging in Tehran. During the Mass attack of October 1, 2024, several fattah-1 missiles already They had been thrown Against Jerusalem, but its recent use in the current context marks the first time that on the current conflict is incorporated tactically. The weapon also It is described by the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) as the “Israel’s beating.” The “hypersonic” club. The news has other readings. With the deployment of fattaah, Iran becomes In the fourth country in having and using hypersonic technology, adding to Russia, China and India. Each of these powers has developed Your own models with different characteristics in terms of launch platform, autonomy, type of propulsion and guidance mechanisms. The Iranian variant stands out for its Structural simplicity (solid propulsion in two stages) and its apparent tactical effectiveness. Plus: The ability to overcome multiple layers of Israeli defense during this phase of attacks positions Iran as an increasingly sophisticated actor in the field of ballistic deterrence. The Israeli answer. If the response to the Shahed were the Saraf, the Israeli reaction to the attack with hypersonic missiles has not been waiting. In the following hours, Tel Aviv launched a new OLADA DE BOMBARDEOS on military objectives in Iranian territory, intensifying a dynamic of cross retaliation that already adds seven consecutive days. Among the whites attacked They were included Five military helicopters at a base in Kermanshah, a land-land missile production installation, a war manufacturing center and a centrifuged plantwhich shows that Israel seeks to weaken both conventional capacity and Iranian nuclear infrastructure. The explosions felt even In the Iranian capitalevidencing that the Israeli campaign has expanded its spectrum of action and now points to nerve centers of Persian military power. Strategic implications. The last of the legs to analyze has to do with how the board changes in regional dynamics. The Fattah irruption In the battlefield it introduces a new destabilization factor in a complex conflict already. Beyond military symbolism, its effective use undermines confidence in Israeli defensive systemsconsidered among the most advanced in the world. This vulnerability could force Israel to reassess its air defense architecture and, at the regional level, it could alter the strategic calculations of other actors that until now considered unfeasible to directly challenge the aerial power of Tel Aviv. In addition, the fact that Iran can deploy missiles of this class from within its own territory gives it a significant operational advantage, reducing the need to depend on regional allies to execute long -range attacks. More technological and asymmetric. As In Ukrainethe crossing of attacks between Iran and Israel, more and more sophisticated, illustrates the evolution of modern conflicts towards scenarios where technological deterrence is A determining weight. While Israel maintains the Air Supreme Thanks to its fleet of F-35I and F-15 fightersas well as its operational experience, the appearance of weapons Like fattah Reduces its strategic advantage margin. Iran, limited in its conventional Air Force, has opted to compensate for its inferiority with the development of ballistic missiles and Advanced dronesin a wear war in which each new system can redefine the momentary balance. The Operation “True Promise III”therefore, it is not only a reprisal campaign, but an essay for a new Iranian doctrine based on speed, precision and unforeseen penetration.

I have taken less than a week to deactivate the star function of iOS 26. The filter called is to kill flies to guns

I’ve been from the night of the WWDC 25held on June 9 using the beta of iOS 26. This is the largest redesign of the Apple operating system in years, and the first real approach to how the company will implement its local artificial intelligence in native applications. One of the most commented functions was that of Anti spam protection. A system that comes to rival some already existing, like Google’sbut in a more aggressive and less intelligent way. So much so that I had to deactivate it just a week later. How the Apple filter works. Within the Apple Telephone App, from iOS 26, there are new ways to filter unknown numbers. Filter incoming calls: the incoming calls of unknown numbers are filtered. Whoever makes the call has to identify and, once we have that information, we can choose to pick up or not. Send all calls from unknown numbers to the voice mailbox. Automatically silence all calls of unknown numbers. The second and third option are quite aggressive (in addition to the second one was already present in previous versions of iOS). The great novelty is in How Apple Applies Ia Upon receiving calls, since it is Siri who attends the person, not us. The first day, the first notice. I receive many calls a week, more than I would like. Mainly, of messaging companies that contact me to know if I am at home. I analyze smartphones in Xataka and the different parcel companies call practically daily. From numbers that I don’t have saved, of course. It soon realized that they were calling me from a parcel company, and the delivery man was not answering the questions of Siri. How do I know? For how this new feature works. Thanks, don’t hang up. When someone with an unknown number calls us, Siri asks him to identify and explain the reason for the call. It is not necessary to be too explicit: it is enough to say “I am Ricardo, it is important.” But here there are two issues. The first is that the iPhone notifies discreetly when the filter is active, with a minimum vibration that we will not notice. The second is that, if the person does not identify, the phone does not start sounding until 20 seconds. A filter that does not filter so much. Yeah The call is urgentit is more than likely to hang. It is just what happened to me this week, both with the deliveries and with a call that I received from my health center. After a robot (Siri) ask you what you want, if you are not willing (or you cannot) answer at that time the question, it is difficult to be 20 seconds waiting for the phone to begin to sound to the other person. I saw perfectly how the delivery man hung before he started sounding and, after asking him (I had to call him later), he told me that he did not know if it was some type of fraud. Normalize that Siri takes it. It will not be easy to normalize that Siri takes the phone. It would be necessary for practically all Apple users to activate this function, and that users understand that every time you call an iPhone, you have to go through Siri. The most important factor of the urgent call is also lost: immediacy. A accident cases in which they call you with unknown numbers, medical consultations … No one likes calls of unknown numbers, but filtering them all, regardless of whether they have advertising purposes or not, is to kill flies to cannon. Google makes it much better. Google Filter suspicious calls of fraud or spam has been filtering years indicating precisely that the calls are spam. If we call us a number for commercial or fraudulent purposes, Google uses its AI model to analyze in the cloud where that number comes from. In the event that we are not clear who calls us, we have nothing but to filter so that the Google assistant does exactly the same thing that Apple does: ask the interlocutor who he is and the reason for his call. It is a practically infallible filter for commercial and fraudulent calls but in which at all times we are finding out whether or not they call us.

Volkswagen was the infiltrated brand that reigned in China. Until it was rolled by a train called byd

China is eating the European car. Whether electric, hybrid or combustionit is increasingly common to see them in the streets despite the Tariffs imposed by the European Union. There are already A good number of available modelsto which we will have to add those of brands that have not yet finished landing. But that volume increase does not occur only in Europe: it also occurs within its market. And if we see the evolution of car sales in China, there are some absolutely demolving data that can be summarized in a Volkswagen who led with iron hand and could not see the great wave of byd. National upward production. It is evident that China has put the batteries producing cars. Taking the data From the Chinese Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2024 31,282 million vehicles were produced and 31,436 million were sold. This represents an interannual growth of 3.7% and 4.5% respectively. This has allowed China to maintain its position as the largest automotive market in the world, something that has held for 16 years. New energy. Within those figures, the production and sales of Nev vehicles, or New Energy Vehicle stands out. It is a term that It encompasses the electric, hybrids and electric with hydrogen fueland the production and sales relationship in 2024 was 12,888 and 12,866 million respectively. It represents an increase of 34.4% and 35.5% compared to the previous year and 40.9% of all sales of new vehicles in the country. The Byd sorpasso. To further break down the figures, 60% of that total sales of NEV vehicles correspond to the electric ones, being a sector in which a national brand has established itself at a meteoric speed: Byd. In this chart with the top 10 of sales of new vehicles per manufacturer we can appreciate how Byd did not paint anything in 2020 and, from 2021, he experienced a vertiginous ascent: China Oem #HorseracePay Special Attention to Byd & Geely!#AlwaysBecharging ⚡️⚡️⚡️🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳Source: #Cam pic.twitter.com/4obu2vnj5q – Felix Hamer • Electricfelix (@electricfelix) June 2, 2025 No matter the metric that we follow. Month by month, the data of the Gasgoo platform lets us see that ByD leads in sales by brand or by manufacturer. They are figures that we could take from any month of 2024, but focusing on December, we can see that Byd is far from their main rivals: also Chinese Chery and Geely: December by Oems December by brand Byd 509,440 units 482,652 units Chery 283,903 units 174,430 units Geely 210,419 units 105,077 units Volkswagen can’t lose. In the graph we see that there is an absolute prominence of Chinese brands that They eat toast to Japanese like Honda or Nissan. However, there are two foreigners They stay well. On the one hand, Toyota, which although in third place, maintains consistent sales since 2017. On the other, the Volkswagen Group. According to CAM data for manufacturers, from sales of 4,192,356 vehicles in 2017, they go to 2,808,578. It is a monumental fall in an environment in which other brands are maintained or grow. Byd is the one that has stolen the first position and, although they remain in second place, you have to see what happens in 2025 with Groups as powerful as Geely. The German group is very involved in the Chinese market and in recent years it has launched plans to “copy” your work methods And even his approaches, Like extended rank electric. All with hope not to stay in a very important market for thembut not to lose more land in the European. IMPORTANCE OF EXPORTS. Because the idea of ​​Chinese companies is to continue tightening not already inside, but out of its borders. Saic, owners of Mg, They have the world’s largest ro-ro to bring their cars to international markets. It has capacity for 9,500 cars per trip and Byd also has a huge bureaucoches and the intention of add up to your fleet. As we see in Shanghai Metal Marketsince 2021, car exports have increased year after year. In 2024 they were 19.3% higher than in the previous period, reaching 5,859 million units, 433,000 were by, assuming a year -on -year growth of 71.8%. As we say, you have to wait to see the photo of 2025 already entered in 2026, but the trend of both sales and export of Chinese cars is up How will European brands respond And yes, despite all Byd is showing signs of weakness How can your latest sales aim.

It is called “Pescetarismo” and the infant Cristina already practices it

Leaving meat overnight to become a vegetarian is not simple, especially when culturally the meat is so integrated. Changing that implies much more than crossing an ingredient of the plate. Therefore, for many people, making the leap into a meat without meat requires a midpoint. A bridge. That path is touring the Infanta Cristina, following the example of her mother, Queen Emerita Sofia, reducing her meat consumption, but without eliminating fish. That increasingly common choice is known as pescetarism. Without meat, but with fish. This diet is based mainly on plant foods, fish and shellfish, but excludes red and bird meat. On the other hand, some people also choose to incorporate eggs and dairy products, as is the case of the infant as He explained Week magazine. Behind this diet. This type of food combines the antioxidants of a vegetable-based food with complete proteins and omega-3 fatty acids of the fish, According to Women’s Health Mag. In addition, vitamin B12, a nutrient difficult to find in a strict plant diet, which can be covered with only one ration of fish. In a Harvard Health reportDr. Frank Hu has stressed that fish also provides vitamin D, iron, selenium and zinc, all essential for the proper functioning of the organism. To this is added the growing evidence that this food pattern is related to a lower risk of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression or heart pathologies. Not everything is perfect. One of the main risks of starting with a Pescetarian diet is the excessive consumption of mercury, a pollutant present in large and long -lived fish. Therefore, from Women’s Health Mag They have recommended Eating saliscos and salmon seafood, sardines, cod and clams. But there is no other option? Yes, there is another modality called flexitarism. Both share the same objective of reducing the consumption of meat and bet on a more plant diet. However, here the big difference enters and how pescetarism has been observed, it is more defined: it completely excludes red meat and birds. On the other hand, flexitarism is more flexible, since it does not eliminate any food group, but it limits the consumption of meat voluntarily, According to Mayoclinic. It is an ideal option for those who seek to improve their diet without imposing strict restrictions, and prefer to adapt it according to the context or their personal habits. A growing trend. More and more public figures adopt this type of food. From Harry Styles to Victoria Beckham and Danna Paola, the list of Pescetarians is increasing. The reasons range from health to sustainability, through ethics and animal well -being, as He has collected Week magazine. What began as a punctual choice between celebrities begins to be reflected in the consumption habits of a part of the population. Pescetarism is consolidated as an intermediate option within the spectrum of diets that reduce or eliminate meat, in a context of growing interest in more sustainable food models and plants based.

The owner of a Tesla Model and set out to come to Everest with his electric car. And he had a great idea called gasoline

There is an obvious reason that continues to wear the sale of electric cars in Spain: the alleged lack of loaders. In Xataka We have already tried that it is not so much a lack of loaders as a evident invisibility of them and one lack of trust in your reliabilitywhich causes doubts that they have thought or might think of making the leap. On our trip From Berlin to Madrid aboard a Tesla Model 3 We verify that Europe is very nourished by chargers of all kinds, from rapids that allow recharging while you eat to the slow ones to use while you make night, passing through the ultra -graphs that on the service roads put the car in tune in a few minutes. But, as much as we want, we talk about Europe and not all places have the same facilities. You just have to look at the United States where recharge network It is much more scarce and unreliable than in our continent, which is delaying the adoption of technology. So, can we travel anywhere in the world with an electric car? Could we match the trip that this influencer is making for Carry your Fiat Marea to Japan from Spain? Could we, for example, go to Everest by electric car? Common sense tells us no. But it’s just that, common sense. A tesla, a generator and the roof of the world Common sense, beyond the manida phrase that it is the least common of the senses, is also fluctuating. What for some may seem an impossible mission, for others, simply, it is as easy as taking appropriate measures and adapting to each situation. That is why the owner of a Tesla Moder and did not see any problem in taking his car and putting Rumbo to Everest. If on the road I could find the electricity assortment, it was the least, it would manufacture it. As? Obviously, with an electric generator moved by gasoline. The story is told in Carnewschina where it is explained that the owner of the electric car created its own version of “extended autonomy.” To do this, he installed an 8 kW gasoline generator at the rear of the car. With him underway, he could fill the Tesla Model battery and a power similar to that of a domestic plug, specifically 3 kW. In the middle they point out that at that rate The Tesla recovered 19 kilometers Of autonomy every hour and that, full of the tank, the cargo of the car could be sustained for nine and a half hours. That is, at full capacity the generator could deliver about 180 kilometers of autonomy to the car during, for example, a plugged night. Only in this way has Lhatse County, Tibet region very close to Everest that is already 5,300 meters high. The adventure and its result can be seen in this video where the car owner tells his experience and shows how the system works. Although it is understood why this can be called Tesla Model and a “extended range” car or “extended autonomy”, we must bear in mind that it does not work as a vehicle that implements this technology to use. Simply use the electricity generator as a mobile plug that has to be fed by a fossil fuel. An extended rank electric car is one that is mostly used as an electric and takes advantage of gasoline in a very punctual way. This works, for example, a Mazda MX-30. In this case, it is the car itself that functions as an electricity generating station. The gasoline engine generates electricity that is sent to the battery and nourishes the electric motors that are the ones that move the car. When operating in a concrete regime of revolutions per minute, the gasoline engine always works in its most efficient range and, such as electric motors that move the wheels, although the combustion engine is in operation the touch of the car is still very similar to that of an electric. These types of cars are widely used in China because extended rank electric are considered New energy vehicles (NEV) and are classified at the same level as electric cars even though, in the background, it is plug -in hybrids and can emit CO2 and any other contaminating particle typical of a gasoline engine. In Spain, these cars also have zero dgt emissions sticker as electric since their autonomy is greater than 45 kilometers. But, in addition, they can receive the same aids as MOVES III PLAN that an electric car as long as they exceed 90 km of completely electric autonomy.

Gemini should not be called Gemini. It should be called Google

In the last 25 years we have “google” things. If we wanted to find answers on the Internet, we were looking for them in Google. But Chatgpt is beginning to clearly threaten the future of that search engine, and a trend is growing slowly but sustained: we are increasingly looking for in Chatgpt or in one of its direct rivals, and every time we do less on Google. Will we “chatgpteand” things instead of “google them”? The solution: the king has died, live the king. If Google wants to prevent Chatgpt from becoming the tool to search and answer questions, it has a potential output: Make Gemini be Google’s central engine, turn the traditional search engine into an AI search engine. Hello, Google Classic. Gemini should be Google’s search engine, while Google’s search engine should become something like “Google Classic”, a relevant option but should end up going to the background. Google would continue to be called Google, but below the engine would not be the traditional search engine, but Gemini and its conversational search. OpenAI wins in users. Although Gemini has achieved (or overcome) to chatgpt in benefits and quality, today the general public associates with Chatgpt, not with Google. In Openai today they win in the most important battle: user. The danger is that chatgpt sweeps popularity. The US antitrust trial to Google He has revealed that Gemini has 350 million monthly users (at least they use it once a month). According to data from Google herself, Openai has about 600 million active monthly users. The data is not entirely conclusive and can be misleading. Perception – and some independent analysis They confirm it– It is that ChatgPT is for the moment much more popular than Gemini as chatbot. And Google’s search engine has broken. The feeling for a long time is that the drift of Google search engine is clear. There are divided opinions, of course, but what seems evident is that The search engine has broken And it is no longer what it was. That shows that those who seek human responses usually add “reddit” at the end to avoid artificial and useless search results. The “ai overViews” or “views created with AI” are increasingly frequent in the traditional Google search engine. The transformation, it seems, is underway. But Google is reacting. Here the company led by L actar Pichai is moving little by little, and we are seeing how its “AI overViews” begin to be increasingly frequent: when looking for something on Google it can often appear an answer generated by the which is located above the list of traditional links of the results page. Careful transition. Here the company is being clearly cautious because the reputational damage if they are wrong in the response can be huge, as they have already suffered Not one but twice. And yet, the transition seems to be underway, as shown by that recent behavior of the search engine. Google can be calm (for the moment). However, all this does not seem to be a problem for Google. The search engine market quota remains spectacular with almost 90% of the market According to Statcounter Globalstats data. A report by the sparkoro co -founder, Rand Fishkin showed That in searches the Google market share is 373 times that of Chatgpt, which in the best case would hardly have a 1% market share. Chatgpt is used to search, yes, but only three out of 10 times according to a recent Semrush report. People do much more to search in chatgpt. A Semrush report Analyzing 80 million Prompts shows that 70% of the requests of Chatgpt users were not to look for answers, but for other cases such as creating images, summarizing texts, writing code or doing their mates. But the antiponopoly trial stalks. These days Google lives one of the greatest threats in its history, if not the greatest. In the US they want to chop itand one of the consequences that are discussed would be to prohibit agreements Like Google and Apple To promote the use of your default search engine. Apple has already indicated that it does not rule out finishing using an AI search engine. And the rivals squeeze. And it is not only chatgpt or its search engine mode. Perplexity is a striking reference When looking for with AI, and Bing has been raising that transformation for some time. Microsoft had much less to lose in this market and bet everything for the search engine with AI. They and others are taking advantage (or will end up doing it) reality: these “response engines” are a powerful claim for users. They give you everything too massive, they take away work, and they conquer you with their conversational modes. Talking is more attractive (and natural) than looking for.

It is called “Narcotanque” and is a nightmare in Mexico

The drug cartels are still a problem in Mexico. Also in other Latin American territories, but Mexico is the country that exemplifies How far they can go These organizations. They are present in segments as lucrative as the avocado culturehis violence It affects tourism And it is so widespread in the Mexican economy that already controls the 13% of products distribution. And nothing exemplifies both its power and influence as a vehicle. The drug tank. Narcochapuza. Before entering land vehicles, let’s talk about sailors. Not of the boats, but of something much more sophiscite: the Narcosubmarinos. Very handmade submersible vehicles at the beginning and more sophisticated over time They are the ones that the drug cartels use to cross the ocean and move tons of drugs on each trip. They were the answer to the need to move the drug produced. In the case of land vehicles, the need is not so much to move merchandise as protecting it, sow panic among enemies and demonstrate the power of each organization. Thus, about 15 years ago, and as we see in BBCNarcotanques began to appear: commercial vehicles available in the market that the cartels modified, adding armor layers to create something bungling and not very aesthetic, but functional. Monsters. The photo that opens this article is an example that it was not the most sophisticated work in the world, but fulfilled its mission of being a heavy vehicle with protection against conventional ammunition and with the ability to sow terror among the adversaries. Its appearance motivated the nickname of ‘monster’ or ‘vehiclerhinoceros‘And, like those first submarines, they were artisanal armored by the addition of steel plates between two and three centimeters thick, bases and sight points for machine guns and rifles, as well as reinforced front systems in case you had to collide with something. Photo of Vïctor González Photo of Vïctor González Narcotanques. Since the beginning of the last decade, these vehicles have extended between different bands due to their effectiveness sowing panic (imagine seeing a mole of these on your street) and because they resist impacts of the ammunition of the rival poster. But, as in the case of submarines, the cartels have begun to create increasingly sophisticated armored. They are still handmade and the welding lines or the fact that they use conventional vehicles can be seen, but in a short time they have passed from ‘fugitutes’ with steel sheets to vehicles that could go through a military tank. An example is the one shown by the youtuber Víctor González in this video: Ford Super Duty. The specs From this pickup they are spectacular. Available in 4×4 with V8 engines, load capacity of 3.6 tons and possibility to tow another 18 tons, the Ford Super Duty It is the dream of any average American, but also the base on which the drug traffickers have built a armored … spectacular. Photo of Vïctor González In González’s video we can see that not only have they adapted the camouflage patterns of military vehicles, but we cannot intuit what vehicle it is because the exterior is deeply modified. Steel plates that cover each millimeter, small crystals and with several inches shielding, small openings that can be closed and for those that appear guns of the rifles, protected inputs and even a 360º upper torrett system. Photo of Vïctor González As we said, there are elements that highlight, as the welds seen, but have shielded to the wheels. The price of such a modification? High: up to two million pesos, equivalent to about $ 100,000, as we read in Infobae. Others are more … discreet. They look like normal trucks, but they have a considerable caliber cannon inside: Capture. And it is not something that the drug traffickers have hidden: when a group has been having better armored ones, they have boasted both of them and the captures of similar vehicles of rival groups. It is still, as we said some lines, a sample of power and a powerful deterrent. Now, just like the drug traffickers capture ‘tanks’ of enemies, the authorities also have a decade ‘ensuring’ the drug trafficking. In recent years, the authorities have seized almost 300 of these armored vehicles, which they subsequently use in training centers of their police and military forces. In this way, security forces can know what tactics are drugs to shield vehicles, discover their weak points and perform maneuvers and simulations as realistic as possible. Also They destroy Those who are not useful. Relative effectiveness. And the big question, or one of them, may be how troops are these tanks in combat, and not as much as a deterrent. The answer depends a lot on who is facing. In that war against rival cartels, conflicts in the streets and even ‘standard’ police forces, these armored ones are useful. Against army forces with more prepared armored people and, above all, with greater technology, drug trafficking are not so effective. Now, they are modernizing. Groups such as the Gulf Cartel Han started to implement improvements that go beyond armor: software installed in vehicles that blocks the signal of enemy drones. What is clear is that these narcotanques have changed a lot in a few years, moving from very handmade vehicles to authentic moles with modern military capabilities. And it is another sample of the power of these organizations and how far they can go to protect their resources and end the rivals.

The mobile the AI ​​promises, but I only see repeated tricks. The real ace under the sleeve is called “agent” and comes on the way

How could it be otherwise, AI has also reached our mobilemainly from the hand of two protagonists: Apple Intelligence on one side, Google Gemini In the other. However, in a matter of one year, we have gone from almost no manufacturer has ia that many protagonists of the industry now fight in the classic race. Samsung was a pioneer in some Galaxy AI’s first steps in which it enveloped the generative AI with profits: transcription voice recordings, simultaneous translation and generations of wallpapers, to name a few. More than a year later, AI suites for smartphone have multiplied. And yet, There is still a long way to go. Although these tools are a first step, the true pending revolution is the agricultural AI, capable of performing complex tasks autonomously. However, its implementation faces significant obstacles that limit their current potential. The next step is the agents After witnessing the MWC 2025, it is clear that IA has not been the central theme, although the most mentioned. Obviously, he has had his time of prominence, with Rimbombantes “AI” on several fronts: Motorola, Honor, Realme and Samsung have presumed suites for Android. Magicai, Next AI, Hyperai … prolong the journey of Galaxy AI, which by the way, has also overcome herself with the arrival of the Galaxy S25. How is better about the first -time version? We basically talk about two more skills, which revolve around to personalization. A short but sure step, that in essence it does not be far from What I could test Last year. Of those mentioned, the one that surprised me the most was Magicaithe honor suite (integrated into magicos) and its ambitious Honor Alpha Plan. For a simple reason: already introduces the concept of AI agents. It is not only an AI that responds, but one that can understand a complex objective, plan steps and execute actions proactively through different applications and services to achieve it (for example, plan and reserve a complete trip, not only look for a flight). These agents or agriculture contrast with current functions, which are more reactive or limited to a single task or app. Google has taken some shy steps with Gemini’s extensions, But there is a problem to treat: Interoperability between services. For an agent to reserve a table or ask for food, he needs to interact fluently with any restaurant or cast app, which in turn requires standardized APIS or a deep level of integration that, for the moment, does not exist in a generalized way. On the other hand, these demonstrations have an important limitation: they control the screen and do not allow the user to continue using the mobile while the agent acts. Leave that feeling that the machine does it for us, but it blocks us the machine itself. In the demonstration, the Honor’s AI could interact with the phone and the real world: Given the information that the brightness of his screen was very high, the mobile responded with the instructions while reducing it. Similarly, he is able to book a table in a restaurant, running its respective app automatically. Surely that is the correct direction of the mobile AIalthough it is early to say it. Along the way, several actors must be taken by the hand: not in vain, asking for online food is not just Google or Honor, in this case. Now, not only these agents are useful, but also the rest of the tools that manufacturers are adding to their customization layers. Galaxy ai is not the only It is easy to highlight the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy AI: it was a pioneer to incorporate tools based on generative, yes, together with Google. ‘Roda to search’ opened the way and is now present in a large number of Android mobiles. That is why both the Pixel and Galaxy, and the rest of the manufacturers, now have some Common functions. That are also far from the aforementioned agents. The difference marks the customization layer. Out of what Google lends its partners, the interesting thing is to know the commitment of manufacturers such as Honor, Xiaomi, Realme who already tries to follow Galaxy AI’s track. This is what I found. I start with the most unknown in Europe, a techno that could perfectly rival the strongest in the sector. Your techno aidoes not move away from what is seen in other suites of tools: restoration of old photographs, transformation of portraits into animations, a call assistant. In short, nothing new under the sun. Xiaomi, who has announced the arrival of his Hyperai In the new ones Xiaomi 15also proposes a similar conjunction: Ai Writing generates messages for us, Ai Speech Turn the voice into text, it has a translator in real time, generation of images, draft objects (example photos) and even a function destined to the recording of film video. Is more extensive than in other manufacturersbecause Xiaomi already had this AI suite in China for a long time. As we see, photography is one of the most handled aspects by AI, along with productivity tools. There are others that try to differentiate themselves, among them the mythical Motorola, now under the amparo of Lenovo. Motorola’s functions resemble what is seen in Project Astra de Google (now integrated into Gemini Live) Moto AI It is the name that receives its AI system, and not only affects the phones: Motorola adds its own agent to the most advanced headphones of the catalog. I witnessed a demonstration that pointed ways, no matter how much had some timely delay, given by the Internet connection. This system includes a voice assistant in the purest Gemini style: capable of organizing the agenda, saving annotations in a personal diary and of course, improvements in the photographic processing to avoid blurred shots. For now, Motorola does not have many models compatible with motorcycle AI: only the Edge 50 Ultra and the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra. Realme, and his NextaiThey look similar to the AI ​​application to the mobile … Read more

The US wants to build an unprecedented antimisile shield called “Golden Dome”. And Spacex has suitable technology

The idea of ​​an antimile shield that protects the United States from enemy attacks is not even original. Already in the era reagan, The country fantasized with an initiative nicknamed “Star Wars” That never saw the light. Now, the Trump administration wants to dust off the project with technology of the 21st century and a more intimidating name: “Golden Dome” (the golden dome). With Spacex technology. A technological consortium headed by Spacex, the Aerospace Company of Elon Musk, leads the race to develop part of the Golden Dome, Publish Reuters. Its proposal consists of a constellation of between 400 and more than a thousand satellites dedicated to detecting enemy missiles, following its trajectory and determining if they suppose a threat to the territory of the United States. Other separate fleet of about 200 satellites (armed with missiles or lasers) would be responsible for intercepting missiles; Although the group led by Spacex would not be, according to Reuters, involved in the offensive part of the system. Old acquaintances. In addition to Spacex, two other technology companies are part of the initiative: Palantir Technologies and Anduril Industries. Palantir is a government software co -founded by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, old acquaintances of Musk. Anduril specializes in military drones and Autonomous Defense Technologies; Its most famous founder is Palmer Lukey, the creator of the Virtual Virtual Rift helmets. All of them, very aligned entrepreneurs and Donald Trump’s millionaire donors. If you liked, subscribe. The approach proposed by Spacex, Palantir and Anduril has an unorthodox turn for a defense contract for this magnitude: a subscription model. Instead buy and own satellite infrastructure, the Pentagon would pay a fee to access its services. This model, always according to reuters, could expedite the implementation by dodging the conventional procurement protocols of the Pentagon, but would also tie the government to a supplier and limit its control over the development and future prices of technology. After the publication of Reuters, which generated comments on possible conflicts of interest and worse things, Elon Musk responded in his X profile: “This is not true”, without giving more details. From Iron Dome to Golden Dome. The inspiration in the name seems clear: the Israeli iron dome. But the differences also appear in sight: Israel is a small country, with short -range threats. The United States is a continental country exposed to attacks from multiple vectors and with new threats, as the hypersonic missiles developed by Russia and Chinawhose erratic trajectories and extreme speed challenge current systems. Replicating the iron dome on an American scale is technical and economically unfeasible. Hence, the alternative that right now has more ballots is a solution based on the Starlink satellite constellation, which would cost between 6,000 and 10,000 million dollars. More politics than defense, for now. Although Spacex and its technological partners seem to be in the lead, traditional defense giants such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX or Boeing are not far behind and also bid on the part of the cake. The Pentagon has received proposals from more than 180 companies. The big question is whether Golden Dome will really be a defensive revolution against real threats (such as hypersonic weapons or orbital bombing systems) or If it’s just an electoral promise closer to the science fiction of Star Wars than to a pragmatic military strategy. If something has taught us the current administration is that nothing they are going to do tomorrow is predictable.

We have compared the effects of the Mediterranean diet with those of the so -called “planetary health diet”. There are surprises

Something everyday as eating can have a huge impact on our health, but you can also put a small grain of sand in environmental protection. The problem in these cases is that it is not always easy to demonstrate reliably the impacts of our diet on our health and the environment. Some scientists have tried. As beneficial as the Mediterranean diet. A group of researchers He has been studyingface to face, the health and environmental effects of two diets: the traditional and well -known Mediterranean diet, and the least known planetary health diet. According to this analysis, adhesion to both diets presents similar benefits for both our health and our environment. Planetary health diet. The planetary health diet, or PHD for its acronym in English is a diet Proposal in 2019 By a group of experts from the Eat-Lancet commission, associated with the medical magazine The Lancet. It is a diet that prepares the consumption of plant foods and limits the consumption of meats and dairy products (although it does not eliminate them as in vegetarian and vegan diets). “In 2019, the planetary health diet (PHD) was developed to optimize global dietary quality at the same time that the impacts of food production within sustainable borders were maintained,” indicated in a press release Mercedes Sotos Prieto, researcher at the Autonomous University of Madrid and co -author of the study. “However, evidence of how PHD is compared to the Mediterranean diet (…). We have evaluated the effects of both diets on mortality for any cause and the environmental impact on a large (sample) representative of the Spanish population.” 11,488 participants. The study was carried out from compiled data in the study of nutrition and cardiovascular risk in Spain (Enrica). The data of this cohort allowed to track 11,488 participants over 14.4 years. To analyze the adhesion to each of the diets two indexes were used, the PHD Index and Medas Score. These measured the consumption of certain foods associated with each of the diets, the planetary health diet and the Mediterranean diet, respectively. The environmental impact of these forms of food consumption was carried out through the Sharp-ID tool (Sharp-Indicors Database), which allows estimating greenhouse gas emissions based on land uses. Health impacts were measured through mortality, through the National Death Index. The analysis also included information about other variables to adjust the results. Less mortality. The study results They indicated a positive effect of both diets about health. In the case of the PHD, the study showed a decrease of approximately 22% in the risk of death during the period studied when comparing the group with greater adhesion to this diet with respect to the group with less adhesion. In the case of the Mediterranean diet, the comparison between the mortalities of the groups with the greatest and lesser adhesion was approximately 21%. A very similar positive effect, so much that the difference is statistically irrelevant. More than health. The second point of interest is that of the environmental impact of diets, calculated in this case based on emissions that are estimated to the different options. In the case of the PHD diet, the estimate calculates emissions equivalent to 4.15 kg of CO₂ a day, with a soil use estimated at 5.54 m² a day. The Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, is calculated emissions equivalent to 4.36 kg of CO₂ per day, with a land use estimated at 5.43 m² a day. Results, again, very similar. The details of the study have not yet been published in a scientific journal, but were presented at the beginning of the month at the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). An open debate. The PHD diet is a relatively recent formula, proposed less than a decade ago. In his presentation it was received with a certain degree of skepticismsomething logical if we take into account the difficulties facing science when analyzing something as complex as nutrition and the effects of food on our body and our health. That is why studies are required to test the Initial results. Experiments such as this incline the balance in favor of this type of diets but when addressing this type of issues all additional information can be useful.
