We have discovered a relationship between olive oil and risk of death by dementia, a point in favor of the Mediterranean diet

by

Someone could think that everything is already said, all investigated, on one of the fundamental axes of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil. Nothing is further from reality: research on this food continues and continues to reveal striking aspects of the liquid. And as regards striking relationships, perhaps the palm is taken by the fact that they keep the consumption of this derivative of the olive and dementia. 28%. A study published a few months ago established existence of this relationship. Specifically, the analysis responsible for the analysis observed a 28% reduction in the risk of death associated with dementia between people who consumed at least Seven grams of olive oil per day, compared to those who did not consume this liquid or did it rarely. Until now, some studies They had indicated us an inverse relationship between the Mediterranean diet and the cognitive deterioration associated with age. From there, establishing relationships between different aspects of these variables can help us better understand the link between Mediterranean diet and healthier aging. Changing ingredients. In its analysis, the team also studied the effects of replacing different sources of fat. Through a substitution modeling, they estimated that replacing five grams of margarine or mayonnaise daily with an equivalent amount of olive oil could be related to a decrease in the risk of mortality associated with the dementia of between 8% and 14%. A similar analysis did not detect similar effects when these fats were replaced by other vegetable oils or butter. 92,383 participants. The study was conducted from the macro -conformation Nurses’ Health Study II and Health Professionals Follow-Upwhich allowed to obtain Information about 92,383 participants. These filled surveys on eating habits every four years over a 28 -year period. The team divided these participants depending on their olive oil consumption: those who never consumed olive oil or did it less than once a month; who consumed up to 1.5 grams per day, who consumed between 4.6 and 7 grams per day; and a group for those who consumed more. The team extended its analysis over 18 years of the study and controlled aspects such as the general quality of the diet or the genetic predisposition to suffer from the disease. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Jama Network Open. What is happening? When establishing a causal relationship, it is always convenient to understand what mechanisms are operating behind this relationship between olive oil consumption and death risk associated with dementia. “Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and contains components with antioxidant activity that can play a protective role for the brain,” He explained to the environment UPI Anne-Julie Tessier, co-author of the study.

The death of the Custom Roms was inevitable

by

There was a time when customizing an Android mobile was popular, very popular. I remember the fervor of the Custom Roms, the movement that was in Spanish forums such as Htcmania In Roms sections, and how Xda Developers It was a bible for the pot. Increasingly polished systems, obstacles by manufacturers so that users do not personalize the phone, and Middlek boom and its consequent incompatibilities with drivers have ended up making this paradise a whole moor. The golden age of the pot. Talk about Custom Roms boom It is to go back 10 years ago, between 2010 and 2015. During this period, the community of developers and users willing to put hand to their device. We always talk about small numbers, at that time Cyanogenmod (the best known rom) exceeded one million users. Spectacular number for such a niche product, but minimal compared to the thousands of users that Android has. The big names. There are several names that will put the hair from Punta to more than one regular at the Custom Roms. AOKP (Android Open Kang Project), Resurrection Remix, Paranoid Android, Carbonrom, Dirty Unicorns … All of them had in common that they were based on “pure Android”, the Android AOSP code with its native visual lines. Each of them added different degrees of customization, some to brutal extremes. Years later, with the launch of the Google Pixel, the Rom Pixel Experience was popular, I still have installed in me Little f3. This ROM carried the pixel system to phones with other systems, adding additional customization that even Google allowed. Deaths begin. Little by little, most of these projects have died. AOKP died in 2018Resurrection Remix carries Without climbing anything to Sourgeforge from 2020, Dirty Unicorns turned off his servers in 2021last year We said goodbye to Pixel Experience. Of the few survive are lineage (former Cyanogenmod), with quite updated ROMs and giving a second life to those phones that no longer have official support by the manufacturer. And it makes sense. Changing ROM has, mainly, two advantages. The first is to enjoy the latest version of Android before the official manufacturer gives us, if it does. But, for a few years, this is no longer of interest. Android’s versions come with more and more discreet changes, and move from Android 13, to 14 or 15 does not involve draft changes. More advantages. The second advantage is customization, something that manufacturers have been working for a while. There are terrible roms (we are not going to give names, it is known), but there are also manufacturers making very good quality software and with a magnificent support. Third, the bookstores and APIs of the manufacturers have more and more weight: the cameras pay as pay thanks to the behavior of the NPU, native integration of AI … Elements of closed code to which we dispense if we work on a generic kernel. A perfect cocktail for a terrible outcome: the death of the Custom Roms. In Xataka | I’ve been trying mobile for 10 years and this is the only customization layer that has managed to convince me

Skype had everything to master the video calls. Now Microsoft has just put a death date

by

It has been Xda Developers who advanced the news that Microsoft has just confirmed publicly: Skype is going to be closed forever. It will happen in May, when they put the final brush to a story that could be very different and that will now be an inherited inherited by Teams, the company’s right eye for communications. It seemed a long time since Skype’s end was imminent. It was released in 2003 and Bought by Microsoft in 2011 for 8,500 million dollarsfigure that then seemed astronomical. Skype was a before and after. He turned the calls and long -distance video calls into something accessible to anyone with the Internet. It became the metonymy of video calls (“Do we make a skype?”), Something that very few products achieve. But Skype’s story is rather that of a wasted opportunity. He had everything to become a dominant platform: He arrived very soon to the market. He had a great adoption. He had a recognizable brand worldwide. And I had behind Microsoft’s resources. However, bad decisions and a lack of constant innovation allowed rivals such as Facetime, Zoom, Google Meet, Discord or WhatsApp a toast. Seen in retrospect, Skype’s decline was not sudden, but gradual. In 2015 It was integrated in Windows 10but the experience was unnatural. For a long time, Microsoft maintained a strange duality between Skype and Skype for Business. The latter was replaced by Teams in 2019. Meanwhile, others advanced quickly. Zoom catapulted during the confinements of 2020 thanks to the juncture, but also thanks to simplify: he eliminated records of records and downloads. Facetime was completely integrated into the Apple ecosystem. And WhatsApp took advantage of its omnipresence and popularity to offer them as one more service. And meanwhile, Skype was stagnant in a cycle of redesign who never solved his main problems (Sometimes they magnified them): An inconsistent interface, performance problems and a confused user experience. Microsoft is not only killing Skype, it is redirecting its users towards Teamsincreasingly popular. Skype users can use their credentials to access Teams and there they will see their contacts and conversations. During the transition period, users of both platforms can communicate with each other. Then there will only be space for Teams. A bittersweet end. A closure that seems almost merciful. Skype lived in his own confusing identity. It remained as that application that we had installed “just in case” and that we do not remember the last time we used it despite the fact that at the time it played a fundamental role. Being able to see and talk to other people in other countries was revolutionary in the 2000s, Skype leaves A great cultural impact that is now transformed into archeology. As a final gift, a lesson leaves us: it does not matter if a platform is very established, it can become irrelevant if it does not evolve to the compass of the needs of its users. End of an era.

investigated Tesla for the death of a worker

by

The day had to come when Personal interests of Elon Musk They will collide with their Commitment to cut out in the US administration at the head of Doge (Department of Government Efficiency). That day has arrived. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), which is equivalent to the Labor Inspection in Spain, is investigating the death of a worker in Tesla Gigafactoría in Fremont, but has refused to make public The investigation not to reveal the identity of the complainants. At the same time, Doge is analyzing What officials say goodbye To save costs, so Osha’s officials are feeling the pressure of giving bad news to the CEO of Tesla and that is firm their dismissal order. Research in Tesla. In August 2024, Víctor Gómez, an employee of a company subcontracted by Tesla, died electrocuted while performing maintenance in electric panels of the Texas Gigafactory. According to his family’s complaint, the company did not deactivate energy systems during the review that Gomez was going to make, which caused the fatal accident. As usual, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), under the Labor Department, initiated an investigation that confirmed the violation of the security standards by Tesla, such and as confirmed Reuters. Institutional silence and suspicions. Although OSHA closed the investigation in February 2025 and issued judicial citations against Tesla, the complete results have not been made public, an unusual procedure since, as has happened in previous labor inspections That has had Tesla, the investigation has been made public. As published by Reuters, the sudden opacity by Osha has coincided with the Doge campaign to cut personnel in government agencies. The Labor Department is one of the 15 agencies that Musk has put at your point of view Since Donald Trump put him in front of Doge. Greg Casar, congressman of the district where the event occurred, demanded transparency to Osha sending a letter A Scott Ketcham, deputy secretary of the agency: “Americans have the right to know if Tesla and their contractors put at risk the life of a man and if Tesla will follow the safety standards in the workplace in the future,” Casar wrote. A stone in Tesla’s shoe. It is not the first time that Osha fine to Tesla for putting the health of her workers at risk. In 2023, the company was sanctioned with $ 7,000 for exposing its workers to Hexavalent chromea carcinogenic substance used in the Cybertruck manufacturing process. As published ForbesTesla would already accumulate 29 complaints and $ 400,000 in fines Since 2021. Space X is not far behind the number of incidents in its facilities. An investigation of Reuters He revealed 600 injuries not reported at the company’s Texas plant, registering an accident rate six times higher than the average of its sector. Damocles’s sword on his heads. David Michaels, professor at the Public Health School at George Washington University and Osha director during Obama’s mandate, warns that Doge You will have access to confidential files of complainants and officials of that agency. That raises an important deterrence in denouncing irregularities since Doge could access that information. “If you know that your name will not be secret, you will think twice before informing about something”, He pointed out Professor a The Newyorr With the Doge pointing to the Labor Department, a clearing arises Conflict of interest: the same person who directs the fouched companies, controls the future of the organism that regulates them and its officials.

There are too many AI models. That raises a true death sentence for Anthropic and Claude

by

We have AI models to bore. And the problem is that everyone starts looking too close and deciding which one is better not simple. All companies and startups strive to be referents in an absolutely unleashed market. One that as in other technological wars probably ends some winners and enough losers. And there are those who compete with clear disadvantages. Another colossal investment round. In The Wall Street Journal indicate That Anthropic is about to close a new financing round that would allow him to lift 3.5 billion dollars. That would make the company’s assessment amount to 61.5 billion dollars, and the question is whether the company really has options in such a competitive market. “This is not a real company”. According to analyst Ed Zitron, Claude has Two million active monthly users in January 2025. It also talks about how according to the WSJ projected revenues for 2025 (based on current contracts) is 1.2 billion dollars, a very modest figure. “They also lost 5.6 billion dollars last year,” Sign it. According to his opinion, Anthropic “is not a real company, they could not survive without the beneficence of risk capital.” Fierce competition. The truth is that Anthropic is facing exceptional competition in which the large heavyweights of the Tech industry are both in the US and in China. Deepseek surprised all of them with the launch of Deepseek V3 and after Deepseek R1, and that seems to have encouraged investors to bet even more money through all these companies. OpenAI is still a reference. At least, it is in number of users. According to CNBC They already have 400 million of active users every week, an exceptional figure that clearly puts them at the head of the popularity ranking in this segment. As with Claude, Openai is burning money that he does not have and that they obtain from extraordinary financing rounds, but unlike this, we insist, the popularity of Chatgpt is evident. And the big ones have what matters now: money. For many users IA is chatgpt, and giants such as Google with Gemini, Microsoft with Copilot or Meta with flame are still far from achieving that acceptance. They have something that Anthropic (or perplexity) does not have: many, many funds – Grok 3, from Xai is another example – and can be maintained in this race even if that is costing them a lot of money. The prize is too fat not to chase him. There are too many models, some can stay on the road. In all technological wars there have been winners and losers. It is the same as what this battle for AI points, in which there are too many competitors and that it probably ends up causing some of these efforts to not survive. Here Anthropic is one of those at a disadvantage. The AI ​​winner can be a company still unknown. Openai, Google, Apple or Microsoft may be especially well positioned to win that race, but it does not have to be so. As they recently indicated In axiosnew company can arise, still unknown, that end up doing something differential and what none of the greats had thought. It is not easy, but of course it is not impossible. Remembering Netscape. In the second half of the 9th Internet began to show their potential, but the great A small company called Netscape He managed to become a reference in the world of browsers. Then it would end up being the great loser of that war, but it was the demonstration that having more money and resources does not always have to have all the options. And that’s why so much investment in startups. That possibility that the one that wins the race will be an unknown company is precisely the one that makes risk capital companies investing a lot of money in projects that may not get absolutely at all. It has recently occurred with Thinking Machines Labthe Startup of Mira Murati, or with Safe Superintelligencethat of Ilya Sutskever. None of them have a product to show, but still have already received spectacular investments. And be careful, there is also China. Of course there are formidable rivals that are not in the US. Mistral is a reference in Europe, while In China another particular war is being fought which has made today the models of the AI ​​of Chinese companies are so good (or sometimes, better) than those of the US. The winner of this battle could also come from that country. Or any other, of course. Image | Saradash Pradhan In Xataka | China has an ambitious plan to overcome the West in Technology.

Hubble investigates whether a star has “pretended” his own death

by

The Hubble has given us a new image. It is an image with history behind, even if it is not a story that can be appreciated at first glance. A story of false appearances. Image of the week. The last “week of the week”Of Hubble Space Telescope shows the UGC 5460 galaxya galaxy in which a few years ago we detected what we believed were two supernovae. However, one of the outbreak could have been the result of a very different phenomenon: a blue luminous variable. SN 2011ht and SN 2015as. A few years ago, the UGC 5460 galaxy He witnessed two great events to those that astronomers called SN 2011ht and SN 2015as. Their names refer to the fact that they were classified as Supernovas (SN) and the year in which they were discovered (2011 and 2015) SN 2015as was listed as a Core collapse supernovaa type II supernova that occurs when the nucleus of a massive star (stars more massive than our sun) is left without “fuel” for fusion. This means that the nucleus ends up implicating because of its own severity, after which there is a kind of rebound effect. The result: a “cataclysmic explosion”, as explained by Hubble. That is what happened with SN 2015as And it could also be what happened with SN 2011ht. But astronomers have another open hypothesis to explain this last outbreak. Appearances can fool. A hypothesis with its own name: blue luminous variable (LBV), a “impostor” star capable of making astronomers fall into the mistake of confusing it with a supernova. The blue luminous variables are stars that occasionally generate eruptions of such magnitude that can be confused with supernovae. However, these outbreaks do not occur at the end of the life of these stars. Rather they seem to represent points and apart in the life of This type of stars. LBVs are huge and unstable stars. They are also relatively Uncomowhich implies that what we know about them is not much. While we know that the eruptions of the LBV do not represent the final explosion in the life of these star objects, astronomers They believe that they are an indication that the star is in the last stages of her life. A kind of final track, more than a lethal collapse. Observing UGC 5460 to search for clues. That is why SN 2011ht is a unique opportunity for the instruments of the veteran Hubble to direction their attention to UGC 5460. The image, in which four wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum are combined will allow astronomers to learn more details about supernovae such as SN 2015as and, perhaps, help us solve the unknown about the nature of the outbreak observed four years before. And we may be able to unmask (for now alleged) “impostor.” In Xataka | NASA is developing a Hubble super telescope capable of observing exoplanets.

They wish Death to Bishop who asked Trump for Mercy for immigrants and LGBTQ people

by

Mariann Edgar Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington And who asked President Mercy towards immigrants and with members of the LGTB community, said that several people have wished him death for having dared to defend minorities. During a religious service carried out on Tuesday afternoon in the National Cathedral of Washington, which the president went in the company of his wife, the first woman to be in charge of the episcopal diocese of the US capital He asked Trump to be condescending with foreigners residing in the American Union without the documentation proven his stay and also with whom they chose to adopt a different genre with respect to their origin. The request of the religious arose because the 78 -year -old Republican signed several orders through which he intends to deport millions of immigrants, as well as officially recognize only two sexes for this to put an end to what he defined as “transgender transgender ” During an interview with the television channel MSNBC, The New York bishop He shared how difficult it has been to face the discomfort of a sector of reluctant society to feel empathy for its peers. “Some people have wished me death. I am not sure that they threatened to kill me, but they seemed to be pleased if I found my eternal destiny sooner rather than later. And I simply mean, I was actually trying to promote a different type of conversation, which can certainly disagree with me, they may disagree with what I have said or done, but but Could we, as Americans and as children of God, speak to each other with respect? I would offer you the same”He said. Mariann Edgar Budde rules out to offer an apology to Donald Trump, as he claims to defend the fair. (Credit: EVAN VUCCI / AP) The spiritual leader of 86 congregations and 10 schools of the Episcopal Church in Washington DC and four counties from the state of Maryland is firm in its assumed position with respect to the minorities that will be affected by Trump’s policies, which he considers they should not be despised. “We don’t have to reach the highest extremes of contempt when we are in a position of disagreement,” He emphasized. It should be noted that the White House has already started with its offensive against immigrants by announcing the arrest of more than 300 in a single day and the repatriation of more than 80 people to Guatemala in an army plane. In addition, he signed an order so that all federal employees benefited by programs of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) went home with an indefinite license.

First death from bird flu confirmed in the United States

by

Bird flu claimed its first life in the United States, as confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The victim, a Louisiana resident over the age of 65 with pre-existing medical problems, He contracted the virus after coming into contact with sick birds in a home chicken coop. Genetic analyzes of the virus suggest that it mutated within the patient, probably aggravating his illness. This case is part of the 66 infections confirmed cases of avian flu in humans in the country since last March, although the previous symptoms were mild and occurred mainly in agricultural workers exposed to infected birds. Bird flu: A historically lethal virus The H5N1 bird flu virus is not new on the health radar. Since 2003, it has caused more than 460 deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, highlighted the seriousness of the virus and called the death a “tragic reminder” of its lethality. In a recent case, a Canadian teenager became seriously ill after contracting H5N1, reinforcing uncertainty about the factors that cause severe illness in some patients and mild illness in others. Nuzzo warned that the current mild cases do not guarantee the same trend in the future. We can contract the bird flu virus if we are in contact with birds infected with it. (Photo: CDC/NIAID/AP) Despite the death, the CDC emphasized that There is no evidence of significant mutations that increase the risk of transmission between humans. Additionally, authorities have found no signs that the virus is spreading from person to person. However, 2 recent cases in Missouri and California, whose source of infection remains unclear, maintain active surveillance. H5N1 continues to spread widely among wild birds, poultry, and other animals, increasing the likelihood of human exposure. The case in Louisiana marks the first infection in the US associated with a domestic farm, according to the CDC. Given this panorama, the authorities reiterate the importance of following protective measures. Those handling sick or dead birds should wear protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and masks. These precautions not only reduce the risk of infection, but also help slow the spread of the virus. Although the risk of sustained human-to-human transmission remains low, there is a need for constant surveillance. The virus has proven to be a persistent and lethal threat, and its growing presence in the environment requires a coordinated response between health authorities and the public.
