Casio knows that his calculators have the lost battle in the West. So you have designed a B: Africa

by

In a world dominated by smartphones, where any mobile has a calculator application, it might seem that the days of pocket calculators are counted. However, Casio, the Japanese giant who has been in the business for almost 60 years, has a plan to stay as a relevant company: carry its scientific calculators to the classrooms of developing countries. In search of the ideal countries to continue expanding. Since its first scientific calculator in 1972 was launched, Casio has achieved great achievements such as a reference in the Spanish Meracdo. But now he focuses on eight countries in Asia and Africa, among which are Egypt, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladés and the Philippines. The calculator as an infallible ‘antitrampas’ system. The program baptized as ‘Gakuhan’ is not limited to selling calculators only. Casio seeks to promote teaching methods that integrate these devices, pressing so that schools use them in classes and allow their use in exams. The reason is simple: the calculators They have a much less copy risk than smartphoneslacking Internet connection functions. In the case of Spain this is something that we see in the selectivity, for example, where one of the requirements is obviously not having any electronic device on top and Nor any calculator that can transmit information. Although always when you get to Baccalaureate, it is raised The question of which is the best calculator to study. And this is precisely what they sell to the professors of Asia and Africa with a sales manager who has become the official ambassador of this program. The objective of its task is clear: create educational material where the calculator is essential to develop the activity and offer competencies to students. A market in decline, but with a resilient niche. Despite the presence of smartphones, Casio has managed to maintain a stable business with calculators. Although the sales of this device have fallen two thirds from its peak in the last 20 years, the company sold more scientific calculators than basic last year. In fact, it has expanded its range of scientific calculators to 73 models, 40% more than seven years ago, to adapt to the subtle differences of each country. European countries have their ‘antitrampra’ versions. For example, in Germany and France Comas are used instead of points for decimals and the graphic calculators of the United Kingdom They have an “exam mode” that deactivates the functions not allowed. Although the educational technology business of Casio is not as large as that of watches, which generates 60% of total salesit does provide a constant income flow. The company expects Sell 23 million scientific calculators in 202510% more than the previous year. Other products have not had the same fate as calculators. Mobile phones have caused the disappearance of many products or even icons that we had normalized in our society, such as public phones, Pocket cameras or the music players like the walkman either The iPod. In this case they have failed to reinvent themselves to continue advancing with the new advances of society. Others, such as instantaneous cameras, They still have their niche Within lovers of Vintage, Like what happens with vinyl. But in this case the calculators in mobiles, tablets or computers do not seem to end the products dedicated to it. In institutes it remains a practically mandatory product and on which we depend on not making the calculations with a pen and paper such as a simple division.

A spy plane designed to intercept signals

by

From abroad it looks like one more executive jet. But what just took off in France is much more than that. It is the first plane of ARCHANGE PROGRAMan electronic intelligence platform capable of intercepting critical signals in full flight. Its mission is not to bring executives, but strategic information. And it is a key piece in the attempt of France for reinforcing its military autonomy in a decade marked by the electronic war and global surveillance. A program with ambition. Archange is not a random name. The program responds to a concrete ambition: to provide France with a new generation of airplanes capable of performing signal intelligence from the air, with national technology and operational autonomy. Promoted by the General Directorate of Armament (DGA), The plan contemplates the delivery of three aircraft before the end of the period covered by the Military Programming Law 2024–2030. Its main mission will be to intercept, identify and analyze electromagnetic emissions: from tactical communications to air defense radars. A capacity that, in a context marked by electronic warfare, hybrid conflicts and informative overload, has become a first -order strategic resource. France not only seeks to modernize its intelligence collection means: it wants to ensure that critical information does not depend on third parties. The Falcon 8x, transformed into an electronic warfall. The base of the Archange is a Dassault Falcon 8xa long -range executive plane known for its reliability, autonomy and comfort. But within the framework of this program, luxury gives way to intelligence. Dassault Aviation has profoundly modified the aircraft to turn it into an advanced Sigint platform, adapted to the demanding operational requirements of the French air and space army. The Falcon 8x is an ideal platform: it reaches 11,945 km of reach and can remain up to 14 hours in the air. Its triple engine offers redundancy and safety on prolonged flights. The mission system is signed by Thales. Transforming a Jet into an electronic war platform requires much more than redesigning fuselage. The real jump is in your brain. The Archangelian mission system has been developed by Thales DMS and Thales Six, two divisions of the French group specialized in defense and embarked systems. The aircraft will be equipped with technologies capable of intercepting both radar emissions and communications. This duality – Ellint and Comint – allows to build a detailed image of the tactical environment. In addition, the Thales system can cross that information with other data and operate in network with other ISR platforms. What is signal intelligence and why is so decisive today. Modern war is no longer freed with armored and combat fighters. It is also freed in the electromagnetic spectrum. And that is where signal intelligence enters, known as Sigint. This type of intelligence is based on the interception, analysis and interpretation of electronic emissions. It can be radio conversations between units, air defense radar signs, encrypted tactical communications or navigation and guidance systems emissions. Within the Sigint, two large branches are distinguished: Comint, which focuses on communications, and Elint, focused on non -verbal electronic systems, such as radars or proximity detectors. The combination of both allows us to understand how adversary forces move and communicate, anticipate display, detect active systems or even discover patterns that reveal the intention behind a movement. Having a plane capable of operating in this invisible dimension means getting ahead of the enemy. Something like being able to fly apart from direct combat and, even so, alter the balance of the battlefield What is known about investment. Although the exact cost of the program has not been revealed, it is known that it includes technological development, the modification of aircraft, the formation of operators and logistics support during their useful life. Given the level of technical sophistication and the limited number of units, we are facing a significant investment. The objective is clear: to have in the air, in less than a five years, a national electronic intelligence capacity that complements the satellites and drones, but with the advantage of being able to react, reposition and act more flexibility. The sky as strategic domain: what comes now. From now on begins an intense cycle of flight tests, systems calibration, sensor integration and operational validations. Each component, from the antennas to the signal analysis software, will have to demonstrate its reliability in real conditions before entering active service. In parallel, The training system for crews in charge of operating these platforms should be launchedas well as the logistic and technical device necessary to ensure their availability in real missions.

Airbus’s last military drone has been designed and manufactured in Spain. Its importance is not measured only in meters of altitude

by

Spain has just marked a milestone in the European defense industry. Airbus is over assembly of the first SIRTAPa New Generation Tactical Dron which has been designed and manufactured in the country. It is not just a technical advance: it is a declaration of intentions about the role that is sought to play in the development of strategic technologies. The Sirtap has been assembled at the facilities of Airbus Defense and Space in Getafe. The purchase was formalized by the Ministry of Defense in November 2023, with a request for nine complete systems composed of 27 aircraft and nine control stations on land. It is there where the first prototype has taken shape, and where it is now preparing to start the Test Campaign on Earth. The Spanish set by tactical drones The tests, which will evaluate both the structure and the main components of the system and the software, will be extended during the next months. The goal: to leave it ready for your first flight Before ending 2025at the CEUS DEL INTA trial center, in Huelva. According to Airbus, the new drone has been designed to fly in extreme conditions: it can operate between -40 ° C and 50 ° C, land on unpaid tracks and stay in the air for more than 20 hours in a row. To this is added an operational roof greater than 21,000 feet (6,400 meters), which would make it an ideal platform for long -distance recognition and surveillance missions. What Airbus poses with the Sirtap goes far beyond simple recognition. The drone has been thought of as A modular platform capable of adapt to different missions: You can monitor convoys from the air, act as an armed escort, detect electronic signals, participate in electronic war operations or control borders in hostile environments. It can also be deployed in emergency tasks, such as the search for vessels on the high seas or fire support. One of the most outstanding points of SIRTAP is that it has been designed without components subject to Itar restrictionswhich, according to Airbus, facilitates its export to international markets. This feature, together with its modular architecture, opens the door to future versions adapted to different environments, such as a naval variant or with complete weapons integration. A no less detail is that the system is also designed to interoperate with existing command and control networks. The Sirtap breaks into a segment with Several established actors. Uav like him TACTICAL HERONwith its ability to carry several useful loads simultaneously and operate from semi -sighed clues, or the Bayraktar TB2known for its missions in real combat and more than one million hours of operational flight. We also find al Falco Xplorerwith its autonomy of more than 24 hours and flight roof above 30,000 feet. Given that panorama, Airbus drone proposes a promising combination: Itar restrictions free, modular architecture, interoperability with European systems and operability in extreme conditions. Its focus is not to overcome figures, but to offer an adaptable platform, easily exportable and margin to evolve towards naval or armed versions. He has not yet taken off, but his road map places him as an actor to take into account.

Europe has perfected missiles for decades. His new weapon is designed to sacrifice before touching the ground

by

Europe has been betting on precision missiles. He Taurushe Meteor or the Aster 30 They are a good example of this: expensive systemscomplex and refined to the millimeter, designed to get it. But the war has changed. It is no longer enough to have better missiles In it Aeronautical Hall of Paris, MBDA has presented Your answer. It is not a drone to show off, nor a weapon for surgical missions. The One Way Effector does not return, does not shoot: it is made to fall. And in that act, fulfill your mission. His role is to saturate. Fly in mass, force reactions, shoot alerts. Overwhelm the enemy based on volume. It does not seek to go unnoticed. Seeks to force you to react The One Way Effector does not fit at all in the best known categories. It is not a cruise missile, although it travels hundreds of kilometers. It is not a recognition drone, because is not designed to return. It is an disposable aerial ammunition, propelled by a small turbophah, whose mission is one: wear defenses. The approach reminds of the Shahed-136 Iranian that have redefined the Ukrainian front: Waves of cheap ammunition against very expensive interceptors. But MBDA has taken the idea one step further: greater speed, greater difficulty of interception and an explosive load would be enough to not be able to ignore it. Because that is logic. If the drone impacts, he has fulfilled. And if they demolish it, also: the enemy has had to spend a missile, activate a radar or turn on an alarm. The system is designed to operate in Salvas. We do not talk about one or two drones, but of tens thrown simultaneously from the ground or from the back of a vehicle. Each unit Follow your route via GPS guidancewithout the need for communication between them or coordination algorithms. They move in a group, enough to saturate the enemy response. Conceptual image of the One Way Effector It reaches speeds close to 400 km/Hy transports a 36 kg eye, equivalent to that of an artillery projectile of 155 millimeters. Has an estimated scope of 500 kilometers And a cost that MBDA describes as “a fraction of a cruise missile.” It is not stealthy, nor does it intend: its effectiveness happens to be visible, for forcing the enemy to act. If no one reacts, the drone arrives. And if someone does, it is exposed. The idea is that each defensive shot destined to demolish a position. Each lost interceptor reduces the response capacity. That is the game. The One Way Effector is not an experiment or an exotic prototype. MBDA wanted it to be, from the first day, a chain manufacturing product. To achieve this, he has signed an alliance with the French automobile sector that allows you to produce even 1,000 units per month. A Taurus missile To climb that production, the design has been simplified to the extreme. Body of compound material, commercial pieces, modular construction. No terminal guidance sensors or technologies difficult to maintain. His great asset is the volume. This does not mean that Europe is renouncing its precision arsenal. On the contrary: One Way Effector does not replace Taurus or the meteor or Aster 30. Is designed to accompany themto open their way. Taurus is a cruise missile that travels hundreds of kilometers and seeks to penetrate defensive layers with precision. The meteor dominates the Aire-Aire combat with its reach of more than 100 kilometers and its ability to correct real-time trajectory. Aster 30 protects airspace as part of a high efficiency antimisile system. But there is a common point: all are scarce and extremely expensive. Each launch is a strategic decision. The One Way Effector, on the other hand, is intended for the opposite: to be launched without hesitation. If the deadlines are met, the first test flight It will take place between October and November, and Production will start in 2027 With the first operational units.

Elon Musk got outstanding in computer science. Who designed the computers they used did not approve with the same ease

by

Become one of the greatest fortunes in the history of humanity Obviously it requires certain skills, especially when that fortune has been obtained in The technology sector. Who stands out in the technological field, tends to qualify as “technology geniuses.” Elon Musk, for example, obtained excellent notes in complicated matters as computer science. Paradoxically, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, the most relevant names in the development of the computers that Musk used in their classes, did not stand out For your good notes During your student stage. His intelligence had a lot to do with it. Steve Jobs, the approved scraping A psychological report Prepared by the FBI on the student profile of Steve Jobs revealed that Apple’s co -founder had an average grade (GPA per grade point avenge) in secondary school of 2.65, which is equivalent to obtaining school grades between C and B. which could be considered as a scraping approved. However, despite obtaining such tight qualifications, the report He pointed outthat Jobs was extremely intelligent and with an exceptional ability to mold people of its environment manipulating truth and reality to achieve its objectives. When Jobs Fundo Apple, Those skills They served to attract the best talent by his side and convince them that they were able to design the best products in the world. Bill Gates, scattered talent In his autobiographical book, ‘Code Source: My beginnings’Gates reveals that during his high school in the exclusive Lakesid school he obtained grades that did not adjust to those of a preteen with the ability to quickly learn the complicated mathematical concepts that read in the books. “He was an avid generalist in a place where people focused on concrete matters. He didn’t fit, in summary, and he didn’t know how to solve it. So I pretended he didn’t want to do it.” The millionaire recognized that, although he was able to learn the subjects before his classmates, his attitude and behavior in class and with the rest of the students it was not adequate, and he did not feel motivated by the issues studied in class. However, all that changed when he discovered that he could create programs with the teletype of the “computer room.” Gates acknowledged that this moment marked a before and after in his passage through Secondary. He managed to focus And his notes improved immediately. ELON MUSK: Bright computer notes Elon Musk is the exception confirming the rule. A few weeks ago, Maye Musk, mother of the richest person on the planet With an estimated fortune of 419.6 billion dollars, he published in Your X profile An unpublished document: Elon Musk’s computer notes. Touch the image to go to the original message In his message, Maye Musk explained that, while reviewing his old family photos, he found a notification of the computer notes of the University of Pretoria of his son Elon Musk when he was 17 years old. “My genius child. Mom proud,” wrote the mother of the millionaire. In its qualifications it can be seen that the South African millionaire obtained the maximum score (A+) in programming and computer use skills. In response to his mother’s message, Musk said: “They told me that I obtained the highest score in engineering aptitude they have ever seen.” In other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI would say. “ High capabilities, low grades. The bad academic results – especially in the pre -university stages – of many of the people who have subsequently been considered “technological geniuses”, are not casual. The Scientific literature In this regard It is extensive and points to the existence of a link between the people with high capacitiesintellectuals with a Low school performance. Data from the Ministry of Education and Science estimated that around 70% of students with high capacities registered low school performance. The main reason for school failure among these students with high capacities is the lack of motivation to follow the rhythm of the classes. This, as Gates said in his book, It generates dispersion And his curiosity was aimed at learning on other issues that had nothing to do with the subject he had to study. On the other hand, the social factor and Its integration with the rest of the students It is also a key component for school success in these cases.

An orbital computing network designed for AI

by

Just a few minutes after noon on May 14, a Long March 2D rocket took off from Jiuquan’s launch center with an ambitious objective: to put into orbit the first 12 satellites of the “Three-Body” computer constellation. It is the official beginning of which China presents as the first supercomputing network distributed in space, a movement that marks a before and after in the race to move artificial intelligence beyond traditional data centers. A scale jump: from data centers to space. The constellation, led by Zhejiang Lab and developed in collaboration with the company Guoxing Yuhang (Ada Space), is part of the so -called “Star Computing Plan”. This first mission, called 021, has placed in the same orbit 12 smart satellites with names that honor Chinese cities such as Neijiang, Haikou or Taizhou. Each of them is equipped with an intelligent calculation system and laser connectivity up to 100 GB/s to form an interconnected orbital network. According to the official information published by the Chinese Government and collected by media like Xinhuathese first satellites total a capacity of 5 pops (peta-operations per second) and have in conjunction of 30 TB of storage on board. What are pops? HkexNews explains that 1 pops equals a four -year period (10^15) of operations per second. China’s goal is to deploy a constellation that, According to the information that Spacenews managescould reach 2,800 satellites, with a total capacity of 1,000 POPs. An orbit laboratory. Each satellite has a space computer developed by Zhejiang Lab, with a capacity of up to 744 tops (thera-operations per second) per unit. In addition, they are accompanied by a model of 8,000 million parameters, specially designed to operate directly into orbit. This allows real -time data processing tasks without the need to send all the information to land stations. Use cases: from natural disasters to astronomical science. The satellites They are designed To offer very specific services: Gamma ray detection, generation of 3D digital twins of entire regions, remote observation with processing on board and monitoring of natural phenomena. One of them even includes an x ​​-ray polarimeter Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Guangxi, designed to detect Gamma explosions and activate in second coordinated observations with other missions. Besides, According to Ada Space herselfthe data collected will also serve for civil applications such as emergencies, immersive video games and smart tourism. A orbital cloud under sovereign control. Behind the deployment there is a geostrategic ambition: build a spatial computing infrastructure under Chinese control that combines global coverage with energy efficiency and low latency. Unlike land data centers, satellites can use solar energy continuously and do not require active cooling systems. What’s coming: more power, more satellites. Ada Space has already confirmed that is working on a second generation of satellites with even more power. The objective is clear: validate the computing architecture distributed in orbit, climb it and turn it into the nucleus of a space cloud capable of operating large -scale AI models without depending on the terrestrial infrastructure.

There is an old Soviet probe about to fall on earth. The disturbing thing is that it was designed to resist hell

by

A piece of Soviet spatial history, the Kosmos 482 probe, is about to conclude its very long 53 -year -old odyssey. And in the most disturbing way possible: falling on us. Context. Launched on March 31, 1972, this Soviet ship was destined Venus, but A failure after its launch left it stranded In the Earth’s orbit. 53 years later, its final decrease is imminent: it is expected to be re -entered into the atmosphere around May 10. The probe does not contain nuclear materials, and the risk of properties or people is low … but it is not null. And you don’t want an object of half a ton that falls from the sky to hit you. Kosmos 482. Twin sister of the successful Venera 8 mission, she was launched only four days later, but unlike the first, she failed to land in Venus. The upper Blok-Nvl stage of the Molniya rocket that transported the Kosmos 482 went out prematurely, leaving the probe trapped in a very high elliptical terrestrial orbit (initially 206 x 9,800 km high). Faithful to the secretism of the time, The Soviet Union never admitted the ruling And he simply baptized the mission with the generic designation “Kosmos 482”. After three days, several fragments that had separated from the ship rented over New Zealand, where some remains were even recovered, such as cylindrical fuel deposits. Other objects associated with the mission rented in 1981 and 1983. Designed for Venusian hell. The object that has resisted all this time is the mission descent capsule, aimed at landing in Venus. It is estimated that this sphere has an approximate diameter of one meter and a mass of about 500 kilograms. Here comes the interesting thing: this capsule was designed to survive the infernal atmosphere of Venus, a planet whose average temperature on the surface is 464 ° C. As he points out Satellite analyst Marco Langbroekit is possible that relatively whole to the reentry of the Earth’s atmosphere, although the reentry trajectory and the seniority of the capsule reduce the possibility that it is intact at the time of the impact With the parachute deployed? The imminent reentry has intensified the follow -up by satellite observers. The amateur astronomer Ralf Vandebergh has achieved telescopic images of the object in which it seems to have a parachute. “There is a compact ball, but several frames show a weak elongated structure on a particular side of the ball,” He said to Space.com. In addition, the object could be tumbos, so it is only visible at times. How to follow the reentry. Kosmos 482 Orbit the Earth every 90 minutes in a inclination of 52 degrees. This means that the reentry can occur anywhere between latitudes 52 ° North and 52 ° South. The space -track estimated reentry window and analysts such as Langbroek focuses on May 10, 2025, with an uncertainty of 2 or 3 days that will be reduced as the moment approaches. The ship will make a series of visible passes from the northern hemisphere at dawn just around the planned reentry dates. Sites like Heavens-Above already include predictions of visible passes for Kosmos 482. When the man walked on the moon. The fall of Kosmos 482 is a tangible reminder of the golden era of space exploration and the intense race towards Venus, which followed the lunar race. This 1972 relic (the last year in which man walked on the moon), will return to a radically different world, increasingly congested by thousands of active satellites and a growing amount of space garbage.

This nuclear reactor is different from everyone else. It has been expressly designed for data centers

by

The proliferation of large data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) raises a very serious energy problem. Both, in fact, that the US Department of Energy is considering the possibility that companies that have large data centers Dedicated to the training of AI models install in their vicinity A small nuclear power plant that is able to meet your energy needs. This strategy would also reinforce the US bet for energy sources that do not emit greenhouse gases. What is not clear is yet what investment the technology companies and what subsidies will contribute the government will assume. At the moment some of the great technology firms have already invested in nuclear energy, although not necessarily in fission. Microsoft, for example, It has an agreement with Helion Energy to obtain in the future energy from its reactors of nuclear fusion. An extra modular reactor adapted to the needs of data centers The image we have published on the cover of this article is a recreation made by the American company Aalo Atomics of its extra modular reactor Aal Pod. This machine has a lot in common with SMR reactors (Small Modular Reactro compact modular reactor) of which We have spoken to you in other articlesbut, according to its creators, they uncheck of the latter in something very important: its modularity is even greater. This peculiarity is precisely the According to them It makes it suitable for data centers. However, the reactor of Fourth Generation Nuclear Fission Aalo POD has another quality that, on paper, is very attractive: its enormous flexibility. And, again according to his designers, he can work in a completely independent way of the electricity grid, coupled to it, and even, hybrid. In this way, the owners of the data centers can use the strategy that better solves their needs by balancing the electricity produced by the reactor and the one that is capable of giving them the existing electrical infrastructure. Sounds good. Each Aalo POD incorporates five aal-1 micro-recruitors matched with a single electricity generating turbine The prototype that Aal Atomics has made known is capable of delivering 50 MWE (electric megawatts), but its modularity allows you to climb this machine to be able to deliver several hundred MWE, and even thousands of MWE. The image we have is a recreation, but it allows us to intuit what the architecture of this reactor is. Interestingly, it looks more like a linear particle accelerator than a conventional nuclear fission reactor. An interesting note: Each Aal POD incorporates five micro-recruitors Aal-1 paired with a single electricity generating turbine. However, this is not all. The heart of the Aalo Atomics strategy consists in developing a production technology that allows to manufacture the modules of each Aal Pod Industrial and chain. As if they were cars. Or reaction turbines for airplanes. According to this company, this approach will allow them to install their reactor with the data centers in less time, occupying less space and for less money than a conventional SMR reactor would cost. In addition, again according to Aalo Atomics, each micro -reactor can be resumed at any time without the need to stop others with which it is matched and refrigerated by sodium, so it is not necessary to have a water source close. The promises of this company on paper paint well. Now the important thing is to materialize everything you have announced in a final product that lives up to expectations. Data centers continue to proliferate. And they don’t rest. Image | Aalo Atomics More information | Aalo Atomics In Xataka | Nuclear fission has been waiting for a type of fuel to take off.

‘Dune 2’ is designed to sweep in the Oscars. That finally is not going to do it is the best radiography of the current Hollywood

by

Josh Brolin already caught attention to the subject When the 2025 Oscar nominations: Denis Villeneuve, director of the mastodontic ‘Dune: Part 2‘He had not been nominated. Brolin knew what he was talking about: it is no longer just a displacement to the Canadian director. It is also the sign that the Oscars are ninging the Warner Blockbuster, because without the support of that nomination, it would be very strange that the film takes the Oscar to the best film or goes beyond a few technical recognition. A good Oscar’s pan … minors. ‘Dune: Part 2 ‘can be taken, however, a good amount of Oscar important technicians. It is nominated in five categories: best sound, better photography, best production design, better visual effects and, of course, best film. Denis Villeneuve is not only missing in the category of Director, but also, as a coguionist with Jon Spaihts, in a better adapted script, where the first installment of the saga of adaptations of Frank Herbert’s novels was nominated. One year for small movies. We have already commented so much about ‘Anora‘like’The Brutalist‘That the 2025 Oscar seem among their favorites to the smallest films:’ Anora ‘is pure indie cinema, and’ The Brutalist ‘has been shot with an absolutely tiny budget for what is stilate in Hollywood. They are not the only ones: ‘Nickel Boys’,’The substance‘And’ I’m still here ‘have very limited budgets, and even medium movies like’A complete stranger‘ either ‘Conclave‘They seem to make a certain visual modesty and approach their flag. It is stipulated indie. It is not an isolated phenomenon this year, you just have to check most of the winning films of the last editions: ‘All at once everywhere‘(2022),’Coda‘(2021),’Nomadland‘(2020) or’Parasites‘(2019). All of open indie style or, at least, regardless of mainstream Hollywood. The only exception took place last year, with ‘Oppenheimer‘, which we can consider a clearly isolated case when coming from Christopher Nolan, one of the few blockbusters that are considered to have an author’s stamp. This year, only ‘Dune: part two’ and ‘Wicked’ follow their wake. New times for the blockbuster. If we go back to previous years we will see how more Hollywood blockbusters (large distributions, large budgets) were combined with more independent cut films, but there were no such clear gusts. The year hinged in that sense was 2003 with ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King‘, with his eleven nominations … that he won entirely. An absolute hatching of the blockbuster model that left a certain sense of satiety. Behind her, as we say, films such as’ Million Dollar Baby ‘(2004),’ Slumdog Millionaire ‘(2008),’ The artist ‘(2011), ’12 years of slavery’ (2013) or ‘Moonlight’ (2016) have occurred. The Syndrome ‘The Return of the King’. Our partner Pedro Gallego points, very reasonablythat the possible none of ‘Dune 2’ is due to the fact that the syndrome of the aforementioned ‘The Return of the King’ has suffered and its total sweep in the Oscars of 2003. It may, why it is ‘Dune: Part 2’, the academy prefers to wait for Villeneuve to put an end point to his trilogy (let’s not forget that this second part ends in a ‘continues’ will continue to give him the recognition. If this year ‘Dune’ sweeps, what do we leave for the third? Not everything is Blockbusters. In Xataka we have spoken on numerous occasions how sequelae, franchises and blockbusters seem to have flooded the box office, without leaving space for other options. The Oscars seem to be replicating that fganthasma at the box office, proposing alternatives, which undoubtedly receive a pushing of fame and income thanks to the advertising of the awards. Undoubtedly, an interesting dilemma, just that Marvel seems to have definitely abandoned his absolute prereminence at the box office and that films like ‘The Brutalist or’ The substance ‘manages to raise much more than expected. Normality and diversity has returned to cartekleras, and the Oscars are the reflection.

So far Arm only designed chips. Now you will manufacture one for data centers, and goal will be your first big client

by

There is a lot of money invested in data centers. Maybe too much. And that is a juicy cake in which many companies want to enter. One of them is ARM, which throughout its history He had limited himself to designing chips that others then licensed and manufactured. Now they will go further, and AI is the main reason. THE FIRST CHIP ARM. As revealed In Financial TimesARM will reveal his first chip this summer. Until now, Arm had remained outside a career in which Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm or Apple have been the protagonists, but now they want to enter that fight. Data centers in the spotlight. SoftBank, which has a majority participation in ARM, has ambitious plans in the data centers segment. It has allied with Openai and other companies for the colossal Stargate projectwhich will make them theoretically invest 500,000 million dollars in data centers in the US.
