Cantabria wants more visitors in the Cabárceno Park. So you will create a large alpine slide to travel at 40 km/h

by

He Cabárceno Parkin Cantabria, he is famous for his animal reserves and having reached a curious World milestone: Become a reference in the captivity of African elephants. Now those responsible want the enclosure to be known for something else, a spectacular Alpine slide of 1.2 kilometers in which speeds of 40 km/h will be reached. At the moment we only have the plans Included in your technical report, but they are enough to open the appetite. What is your goal? That the park is more attractive and capture more visitors. Two words: Alpine Tobogán. He Cabárceno Parka half -way space between the traditional zoo and an enclosure to safaris nestled in the middle of Santander region, wants to become more attractive. And he wants to do it big, with a claim designed for the most adventurous: a Alpine slide. Also known as “Alpine Coaster”the alpine slides are neither more nor less than rail circuits designed so that visitors can slide through them aboard sled taking advantage of the slope of the mountains. In Andorra they have a very popular one: The Tobotroncwith a route of more than five kilometers. Trips at 40 km/h. The alpine slide that Cantabria wants to build may not reach the size of Tobotronc or The one of Hydersin Austria, where they have built another similar structure of almost three kilometers and a slope of 640 meters, but will be equally fascinating. According to He has revealed The autonomous government will measure 1.2 km (330 m of climb and 854 of descent) and those who rise to it can reach 40 km/h, although it will be the users themselves who regulate the march. 360 degree sleds and curls. They are not the only data that has transcended the project, promoted by the public company Cantur. The Cantabria Government has revealed that the infrastructure will have 25 sleds with capacity for two people who will save a level of 75 my will advance in a journey in Zigzag, with curves and two loopings of 360º. Nor is it necessary to imagine it. The Executive has published the Basic projectin which his future layout appears. Autumn of 2025? The project itself is not new. In October, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the Region, Luis Martínez Abad, He already spoke of him in Parliament, where he broke out some characteristics of the future slide. As he said then, the investment to carry out the structure would reach 1.5 million euros and the idea was that it was already operational in the autumn of 2025. The Montañés newspaper reveals Now that in the technical document an investment of three million euros, VAT included. It also seems difficult for the structure to be ready before 2026. That does not mean that the initiative is stopped. On the contrary. Yeah It has been news These days it is because the Government of Cantabria has just released the construction project. During the next few days anyone interested in the project can consult in The web of the General Directorate of Urbanism the plans and calculations of the future slide and, in case it creates it necessary, to present allegations. Aerial view of the area where the “Alpine Coaster” will be installed. Objective: Diversify. In October, during his speech at the Plenary of Parliament, Martínez Abad He claimed That the future Alpine slide “is not a whim, but an opportunity.” Now the government insists on the same idea: its purpose is to reinforce the attractiveness of the park to visit more people throughout the year. “The objective of this infrastructure is reason the Minister of Tourism. In 2023 the enclosure received more than 650,000 visitors, but that figure actually hides two major challenges. The first is that most of those visits They concentrated During a very concrete time of the year, during Holy Week and the summer months. The second challenge is that the enclosure is difficult to awaken the interest of the youngest population. The idea, The Cantabrian Government emphasizesis to attract people between 14 and 24 years old, which “less interest shows” now in the park. Wink. The slide will be located in an area close to the northern entrance of Obregón, “in a field not used of the installation,” Clarifies the Regional Executivewhich remembers that when planning the layout, a part of the park away from the animals has been sought (in Cabárceno, zebras, camels or Elephantsamong many other species), with trees and an adequate slope. The technicians have also wanted to launch a wink to the mining past in the region. “The project is developed in a unique environment of the vicinity of the local good of the old facilities of the Cabárceno Hierra Mineso it contemplates integrating the necessary infrastructure into the landscape environment, using cut steel, treated wood or glass to offer an external appearance similar to mining facilities ” Clarify. Among other things, those who climb to the sleds may contemplate the mining vestiges of caul.

Many times art is inexplicable, and a retiree from Malaga uses the most illogical tool to create it: Excel

by

Explain what art is as complicated as sometimes get the weather forecast. Few things are more subjective and, while for many a banana is a simple fruit, for others it is a work that costs 6.2 million dollars. But within that subjectivity, reflecting reality in a painting is one of the most “accepted” ways to create art. What if that painting is done not with Photoshopbut in Microsoft Excel? That is precisely, with what Jesús Villanueva enjoys. No tutorials. “Normal,” you may think, since who would have occurred. Well let me tell you … it’s not so weird. We are going to see it throughout this pictorial trip with such a boring program (and useful) as Microsoft Excel. The program, which has almost 40 years behind himit was launched as a system of exclusive spreadsheets for Mac In 1985 and its bases have not changed: it is still a calculation program. However, each version became more powerful and versatile. In it Microsoft blog We found the story of Jesús Villanueva, 78, who entertains himself not playing ‘Skyrim‘, doing Streaming of ‘Leage of Legends‘ either Catching Pokémon: It entertains with Excel. He studied a construction eyeliner course and is what has been dedicated, but after retirement and pandemic of the COVID-19something changed Miguel Ángel del Excel. With free time (because you have to have it to create such works), Jesus began using Excel as canvas. “I never found a tutorial to explain how to do it. It has been trial after proof, drawing after drawing,” he says. He began recreating buildings in a format without perspective, but as he learned to master the tool, he went to more complex compositions. Image | Jesús Villanueva Image | Jesús Villanueva The most impressive thing is that it is not dedicated to borrowing external resources or hitting images, but to draw with colors directly in the grid, combining complex and simple shapes to give life to your idea. It is based on photographs, yes, but draw all forms manually in the application. Your secret? “Everything is a matter of patience, even in works that can take up to three months, such as the Siena cathedral.” Other religious buildings in its porpholio are the Mosque of Córdoba or the Cathedral of Florence, for which he had to draw the little characters large and then reduce their size to be able to embed them on the general image. The “Insert Forms” brush. That is the basic tool for Jesus. Choose a figure, calculate the proportions to case in a reference image and there begins to adapt, color and combine with others to give life to the object you want. When he has it, he unites it to the rest and the scene is formed. He also plays with vector strokes and the change of scale of elements. Image | Jesús Villanueva Japanese landscaping. In it Instagram of Jesus You can see his work, but he is not the only passionate of this particular brush. Tatsuo Horiuchi, an 84 -year -old Japanese man, also decided to unleash his particular vision of art when he retired. He says he took 10 years to create something that he felt that he could proudly teach people, but also that there were people who did not understand their hobby or that they laughed at it. “Why do you put so much effort on something that is not useful? Are you crazy?” “Well yes,” he replies in a video in which we can see part of his collection. Excel has a lot of life. Horiuchi gives a very important key. “I think, even if you don’t have talent for painting, you can paint something whenever you have Excel.” And this is interesting because there are people – as I – who are denied to paint even if he would like, and with a grid, it may be easier to start drawing. In any way, it is always curious to see that Excel is not just the tool in which Sustains the world economy and even formula 1 equipment: Excel too It can be a sport. And to gamify a tool as boring as it has all my respects. In Xataka | Thousands of people have been living from art for three years. Ireland pays them 1,300 euros per month to fulfill their dream

Huawei states that he is staying behind the chips. It is just what we want us to create

by

Huawei doesn’t like to get attention. He doesn’t want headlines. It is not generating too many and since 2019 The US veto and google occur The company has adopted a low profile and a shy, silent narrative. But as long as he does, Huawei does not stop growing and consolidating his role as one of the most important technology companies in the world. The silent leader. Ren Zhengfei (Anshun, 1944) founded Huawei in 1987 and is not only the company’s CEO: he is considered a spiritual leader. He doesn’t see it like that and affirms which is rather “a puppet leader (…). It only develops a symbolic role, like an idol of cement in a temple. Without it the temple would seem empty, but in reality the idol does nothing … that I am in Huawei or in Huawei has no real impact.” Who wants to be forgotten. Despite its absolute relevance, whether symbolic or not, Zhengfei has no intention of being in the foreground. His hope is in fact end up being forgotten. “I am just an old man. What is the point of reminding me? People should think more about the future and the world. My greatest desire is to have a coffee in a cafeteria without anyone noticing.” Zhengfei is known for his reserved and discreet character, and has transferred that way of being to his company. “Our chips are a generation behind the US”. The phrase is from the aforementioned Ren Zhengfei, which In an interview In the Chinese state media People’s Daily talked about his latest advances in semiconductors. There the head of this giant explained that the sanctions that prevent Huawei from obtaining or manufacturing state -of -the -art chips cause that “our chip continues a generation behind the US.” Better not believe it much. Huawei is Property of your employees And he has ties with the Popular Chinese Liberation Army, the country’s armed forces, of which Ren Zhengfei was part for several years. The commercial war has caused the company to adopt a very discreet profile, and REN’s comment on the state of its chips is possibly a strategy not to attract attention. Because although there may still be differences with the advances of the US, the Chinese giant does not stop expanding. For all without being noticed. I explained it William Huo, an expert who explained in China how Huawei is currently 25,000 million dollars a year on R&D. One of the results of these investments have been New Ascend chips for ia that has not been designed to overcome Nvidia chips, but to climb big. And there is a blunt example. Source: Semiianalysis Cloudmatrix 384. Huawei chips may not be so powerful, but their clusters are. It is demonstrated by the cloudmatrix 384, direct competitor of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. This monster has 384 GPUS Ascend 910C connected through an optical network that allows an interconnection at speeds much larger than those offered by copper cables of the Nvidia cluster. But it is also a complete cloudmatrix 384 system, as indicated in Semiianalysisoffer up to 300 flops (in BF16 accuracy) of computing, almost double what the NVL72 GB200 of NVIDIA offers. Not only that: it has the memory capacity 3.6 times and 2.1x times the memory bandwidth. The Huawei machine is an absolute beast, no matter how much its chips “are a generation behind” – which is debatable. The confusion. A few weeks ago there was talk of how the new laptop Huawei Matebook fold Huawei would be based on the promising Kirin X90 chip. That soc, manufactured by SMICit seemed to be manufactured with 5 Nm photolithographic node, but that was difficult. Especially since SMIC – La Foundry China that Try to follow the steps A TSMC or Samsung – has no access extreme ultraviolet photolithography equipment asml. How was I going to achieve it then? China advances in semiconductors. SMIC (semiconductor manufacturing international corp) is the largest Chinese semiconductor manufacturer, and has a quota of about 5% In the world market. The US veto has caused this manufacturer to have access to EUV equipment, but Some rumors They pointed to what He had achieved A 5 NM node with deep ultraviolet technology (UVP). It is not so, and new data reveal that the X90 does not use a node of 5 nm (N+3) but the already known 7 Nm (N+2) As it happened with the Kirin 9020. Be careful, because in SMIC they are working on their own lithography of 5 nm, and they seem be close to achieving it. And beyond, of course, The 3 nm. A wolf with lamb skin. Huawei does not usually generate headlines, but it seems just what he is looking for. And meanwhile, as Huo states, he manages to buy time in which the industry does not look so much in it. And meanwhile, scale without rest. But as this analyst says, not to pursue quarterly benefits, but to endure.

The EU is looking for where to create its own GigaFactories of AI. Tarragona has become the great Spanish bet

by

Spain wants to have A gigafactoría de iaand has presented his candidate: a town in Tarragona. Specifically, Morá la Nova, who wants to become one of the headquarters of that great European project. The proposal has been presented by a business consortium led by Telefónica and promoted by the Government of Spain in cooperation with the Generalitat of Catalonia. Spain wants to be a reference point In this new golde of technology. Why Tarragona. The candidacy responds to strategic reasons: that enclave would be close to the AI ​​factory driven By Barcelona Supercomputing Center – National Supercomputing Center (BSC -CNS), one of the great European nodes in high performance computing. The location also brings together conditions such as the availability of the land and the necessary electrical power. 5,000 million euros. Moncloa sources They point In the country to be chosen, the investment for this project would reach 5,000 million euros and would come from both public and private sources. It is a notable amount that allows the EU requirements to be met to create these “AI gigafactories.” What is a gigafactoría de ia. In February the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyden, advertisement The investing project. The idea, mobilize 200,000 million euros at AI, including a fund of 20,000 million for gigafactories. Or what is the same, large data centers with about 100,000 last -generation AI chips. They are even more ambitious projects than those that are already underway with the factories (without “giga”) that the EU has already promoted a few months ago. European AI data centers. The European initiative began with the implementation of Seven AI factories which were announced in December. These are somewhat more modest facilities that remain relevant. Among them was the BSC-CNS, which will have a data center in which the EU investment will be about 200 million euros. It is now expected that five other megaprojects will be announced that, yes, will have much greater investment and will have a capacity up to four times greater. Who is behind the Spanish project. The candidacy of Tarragona is endorsed by the Government, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Generalitat, but also by a group of companies led by Telefónica. Companies such as ACS, Masorange, Nvida, Submer, Multivrse Computing and the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT) have already confirmed their participation. Deadlines. After the selection of the headquarters, the gigafactories will have to be operational between 2027 and 2028. They will be able to access community financing and those projects between 3,000 and 5,000 million euros will receive up to 35% of the investment of public funds. Back seems to have remained Search for more efficient projects that were debated after the appearance of Deepseek. Will they compete with the big data centers of the Big Tech? It is interesting to point out that a Gigafactoría de ia as the one raised in Tarragona is on the promising role in computing capacity. In fact, Meta announced in December A similar project In the US with an investment of 10,000 million dollars. Colossus, the AI ​​Data Center that XAI launched at the end of 2024, uses 100,000 NVIDIA GPUS, has a power of 150 MW. It is estimated That each MW of power in data centers has a cost of between 7 and 12 million dollars.

create a shorter airspace

China with drones is an obsession that comes from afar. They have used them in Night showsthey have created giant QR codes in heaven To promote a video game, such as Vigilantes during pandemicso that Selectivity students do not copy or as allies to drought. Until Chinese mafia has found use. China really likes drones, it is clear. They have been making them non -stop and they want to continue finding new uses. Your last idea: create an economy that works in a air space below 1,000 meters altitude. Drones for everything. In addition to the uses that we have already mentioned, drones are used in China for many more things. In the industry, most are focused on the agriculture sector, where they are used to fumigate and fertilize large crops. They also use drones to fight natural disasters and security. In cities, especially in Shenzhen, you can see drones watching the streets, delivering food orders or even transporting blood between hospitals. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of ChinaAt the end of 2024 there were more than 2.2 million registered drones, there is nothing. Low altitude economy. The Chinese government has been promoting the drone industry through subsidies and incentives with the aim of continuing to lead the market. They count on Financial Times How are they promoting a new concept, what they call “low altitude economy“With drones as a growth engine. The idea is to exploit new commercials that operate in a lower airspace and fill the cities of drones as is happening with Shenzhen. In the near future, perhaps also of Taxis and flying cars. A lot of potential. Although until recently a concept was rather, the Chinese government is very serious with the creation of this new aerial economy. It is clear that they see potential in this new market, they even have the ‘Low-Altitude Economy Development Division’created at the end of 2024 with the aim of supervising the growth of the sector. They expect the sector to multiply their growth and reach 490,000 million dollars in 2035. A market where they are already leaders. According to data from Drone Industry Insights China manufactures 80% of commercial drones, with DJI being the most selling brand worldwide and reference in the sector. In addition, they also go to the development of new technologies and, of all patents related to drones that were recorded in 2024, A overwhelming 79% were from Chinese companies. However, outside China, this leadership has described as global security problem After Chinese drones, including DJI, were Used in the Ukraine War.

The Prado Museum closed its doors so that Dua Lipa could create content. That has generated a furious debate

by

Even the most venerable institutions are taking notes of the latest trends in communication, and that is why dean museums (but not necessarily anchored in the past and the analog) undertake promotion and communication strategies that come out of the normal. The latest: Pop influencers and stars visit Museums. Often, with the buildings closed for them alone. Dua Lipa likes Bosco. This happened with Dua Lipa, who, taking advantage of the fact that he was going through Madrid with the Radical Optimism tour, published some of his leisure plans through the city. One of them was look at the one who affirms that it is his favorite picture‘The Garden of Delights’. Of course, he did it with the closed building, in a promotional maneuver that was conveniently redifested by The Prado Museum account. Dua Lipa is not the first or the only one. What can be done. These types of actions are a content very desired by museums, since they give them a lot of visibility between an audience that is not the usual of their social networks. Among the activities that are usually carried out and that are analyzed in studies like this company Evespecialized in innovative museum projects, highlights private visits with the closed museum, advertising campaigns in which celebrities lend their image, special events and, as is the case, mutual creation of content for networks, disputed in struggle for every second of attention. More cases. As we say, the case of Dua Lipa is not the only one. In 2020 the influencer Italian Chiara Ferragni visited the Uffizi gallery of Florence, in a session for the magazine ‘Vogue Hong Kong’ and with a guided tour of the director of the Pinacoteca. The museum knew how to make good use of the influence of the influencer when comparing its physique with the Renaissance muse Simonetta Vespucci. The photos of other celebrities of high turns, Jay Z and Beyoncé are also controversial, when they are photographed by eclipsing works of art Like Nefertiti’s headimage for which they needed a special permit of the Berlin Museum Neues. Museums are modernized. Actions such as these obey a task of modernization of museums, which of course affect their contents in social networks. El Prado, in fact, has been Very praised for its studied mixture of entertainment and dissemination with a relaxed tone. They started with house experts that explained the intrígulis of the Great works and his restorationbut they currently have a very varied content, with all kinds of disseminators expanding the meaning of the works. It is one New form of art criticism. International tendency. It is a modernization of networks that other museums, such as Carnegie Museum of Art wave Tate GalleryThey have also put into practice. Pioneer was the New York Metone of the first artistic institutions with a Tiktok account and that reached a remarkable impact before the pandemic with initiatives such as #Metgalastyle, where they asked users to create their own content inspired by the famous annual gala. The complaints. Of course, sometimes so isolated proposals from your consumer-type as some of these can collide with the usual ones. For example, Dua Lipa’s videos have been Very criticized In networks because they see how he takes photos in the museum, something that is prohibited for normal users. But there is more: there is talk of a Banalization of artif the Influencers And your concern for Figure in the foreground and ahead of the works (as Beyoncé does) is the correct form to disseminate this type of contentand if This type of digital strategies They end up damaging institutions rather than spreading their catalogs. In any case, it is another symptom of the popularization of culture and how after a while, Art molar again. Much of the fault is the trends that dictate Influencers And superstar, but also, let’s not take me out of merit, that the Instagram account of El Museo del Prado is frankly well.

Google has been trying to create your WhatsApp. With RCS it is achieving it without it seems

by

Google has been trying to create its own messaging platform to stand up to WhatsApp. Without success. He tried with Hangouts, with Alloeven with Google+. All these projects ended as Stadia, Chrome apps o Android Things: closed and forgotten. Meanwhile… Apple has consolidated Issssage as its native channel in some markets, especially in the United States. And goal has made WhatsApp the default tool to talk to anyone in the middle of the planet. Google, despite controlling More than 70% From the mobile market with Android, it did not have a direct route with its users. And that is starting to change thanks to RCS. RCS is a technical standard, not an application, designed in theory to replace the SMS and offer a more modern messaging on smartphones. Let send images and videos, have reading confirmations, creating group chats … but its reach goes beyond the interface: It is the first relevant messaging channel in the Android ecosystem that does not depend on an external app like WhatsApp or Telegram. The key is how Google has managed to position it. It has not launched a new application. Has integrated RCS directly on Google Messagesthe native messages on Android. In the United States, the deployment is almost total: more than one billion RCS messages are sent every day, according to figures announced by Google. “Only” are three messages per inhabitant and day, but something is. Google controls its infrastructure, its APIs and its evolution. And he has done it without asking the user to download anything, nor that he believes a new account. It is there. Works. And more and more people use it, often without knowing it, because they believe they continue using the SMS. But not anymore: it is a RCS controlled by Google. That final nuance is key. Because although RCS is presented as an open standard, what is growing is not a decentralized network, but an RCS with an accent of Mountain View. Google has not only promoted its deployment: it has assumed its technical control in many countries, jumping to the operators. Since in 2019 he decided to offer it directly – without waiting for telecos—RCS has gone from forgotten promise to functional channel. And now, Apple. Another silent victory: Apple has been forced to incorporate it for European regulatory pressure. That does not make Imessage interoperable, but it has eliminated the largest brake that was to the global deployment of the new standard. From there, the old SMS – with its limits and compression – has ceased to be the default language between Android and iOS. It is RCS. A more modern channel, encrypted … and with owner. And that is the real change. Google has not created its WhatsApp. He has done something more subtle: He has reconverted Android’s native messaging on his own platform. Without calling it that way. Without asking you permission. Without seeming it. In Xataka | Gemini should not be called Gemini. It should be called Google Outstanding image | Google, Xataka
