A ghost fleet has mapped the entire submarine structure of the EU. The question is what Moscow will do with that information

by

In January 2025 United Kingdom He raised his voice At the international level. The British Secretary of Defense, John Healy, explained that a nuclear submarine and two ships from Royal Navy had sighted a spy ship in the waters of the nation, and that it was the second time in just three months. The message did not stay there. The United Kingdom gave a name and a nation behind the incursion: Yantar and Russia. Now it has been discovered that the ship has been doing much more than that. The resurgence of a war. In recent months, NATO’s attention has moved to a less visible but increasingly critical front: the European seabed. The protagonist of this new concern is, again, The Yantara Russian spy ship that, disguised as a civil ship, toured during almost 100 days The waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean with an accurate objective: map and monitor the submarine cables on Europe and North America for their digital communications, their financial transactions, their energy and even their most sensitive military systems. We know all this Thanks to the Financial Timesthat after an investigation based on interviews with NATO naval officers and former members of the Russian north fleet, as well as in radar images of the European Space Agency, he has confirmed that the Yantar came to be located on critical cables in the sea of ​​Ireland and in front of Norway, on the strategic route to Svalbard. The role of Gugi. The Yantar operates under the orbit of the GLAVNOYE UPRAVLENIE GLUBOKOVODNIKH ISSLEDOVII (GUGI), the director of Deep Water Research created in the Cold War and known in the West as Military Unit 40056. Based on Olenya Guba, in the Kola Peninsula, this force is located on the border between the Russian Navy and military intelligence (Gru), dedicated less to science than to espionage. Gugi has about 50 platforms (From minisubmarines capable of reaching 6,000 meters deep to nodriza ships such as Yantar), designed to place sensors, manipulate or sabotage cables and, if necessary, destroy strategic infrastructure in a conflict scenario. Despite the blows suffered (such as the submarine fire Losharik in 2019 or the death of its historic boss by Covid), the organization has continued to receive resources Even in full war of Ukraine, which has allowed to commission new spy units. The Yantar The threat in the gray zone. The reactivation of Yantar’s missions Since the end of 2023 Indicates that Moscow has abandoned the initial caution he showed after invading Ukraine. Analysts like Sidharth Kaoushal (Rusi) They point that Russia has measured NATO’s red lines and is now more willing to take risks. The plans detected in the sea of ​​Ireland, where several cables converge that connect the United Kingdom and Ireland, fit into the Russian logic to act in The so -called “Gray Zone”: Operations of covert sabotage that do not equals an open military attack but can destabilize entire societies. In fact, Western Officers They warn That Moscow could, the case, cut energy or communications to force governments to the negotiation, or even alter the temporal signals that travel through the cables, with devastating effects in sectors such as high frequency financial trade. European vulnerability. The United Kingdom obtains the 99% of its communications Digital of submarine cables and three quarters of its gas through underwater pipelines. Ireland, which does not belong to NATO, is a particularly exposed point: cutting its connections would be to isolate it from the continent without directly attacking an allied member. He parliamentary report British of September 19 warned that the country “could not guarantee an attack or recover in an acceptable period,” also criticizing the fragmentation of responsibilities between ministries. In Denmark, the case of explosions of Nord Stream in 2022 evidenced the same bureaucratic dispersion. Although London has assigned the Royal Navy the mission of Protect these infrastructureexperts point out that the lack of anti -submarine frigates and patrol dependence limit the real response capacity. The Atlantic Bastion project. To close that gap, NATO and especially the United Kingdom they consider the creation of “Atlantic Bastion”: A defensive ring of sensors, submarine drones and acoustic stations in the seabed that reinforces the control of the Greenland-Islandia-Rio-Reinian corridor. Although the plan still lacks concrete financing, its need is increasingly evident. In parallel, surveillance ships such as The British proteus They rehearse with autonomous vehicles capable of documenting the activities of the Yantar and other GGI units, with the idea of ​​exhibiting public evidence and generating deterrence. Admiral Gwyn Jenkins, head of the Royal Navy, He warned This month that Gugi, after a period of relative stillness, “is returning.” Silent war. The activity From Yantar It is not an isolated case: between autumn of 2023 and November 2024, eleven Russian ships (military and supposedly civil) held a almost constant presence in British and Irish waters. Allied intelligence services suspect that Moscow already prepares sabotage scenarios against cables as a pressure measure on the countries that arm Ukraine. While until now these operations have been maintained under the threshold of the open confrontation, the possibility of Russia “turning off” the United Kingdom or Aisle Ireland is not a crazy hypothesis. As summarized Excapitan David Fields, former British naval aggregate in Moscow: “Russian military doctrine consists of hitting first, strong and where it hurts most, to prevent the enemy from even getting rid of war.” On that silent board, the Yantar has become the key piece of a underwater chess that threatens to redefine the limits of European security.

Tour the entire Madrid subway in just 12 hours

by

His name is Adham Fisher and his name is in the history books. Provided that we put in that bag the bizarre challenges that They are collected in the Guinness book of the records. His crushing is as simple as crazy and strategic. Fisher is the man who has taken less time to travel all the Madrid subway lines. No matter the order, the arrival station or the departure. It only matters to have gone through each and every one of the stations that are part of the Madrid Metro network. The record has been held since 2017 When he registered 12 hours, 15 minutes and 48 seconds touring the Madrid subsoil. The judges’ note says the following: “Adham possessed the record to travel faster the Paris subway and that of New York.” Also a notice: “record attempts will not be admitted if the applicant is under 16 years.” It is not mentioned in the notice if it is a matter of security or that they understand that with less than 16 years there are better plans than spending half a day underground running between stations. Anyway, Fisher has returned to Madrid. And it has an objective: to lower your time. Noon under the ground Adham Fisher’s relationship with the Madrid suburban is long. Although his best time in Madrid dates from 2017, he also held a record with 13 hours in the accountant. And although he tells ABC who knows that at least some students have tried to snatch their record (The attempt was carried out in 2021)we do not know if there have really been many more attempts. The strategy is the same as the one that already told The world That same year. Then I tried to find the limits of Madrid’s vicinity and, as on this occasion (Fisher is one of the claims of the European Mobility Week In Madrid), he already pointed out that the project takes a lot of study, noting the times in stops and Analyze what its origin and destination should be. Of course, keep them a secret until the challenge is launched and finished, if there is luck, to the edge of the half -time. This time, Fisher was doubtful. Madrid Metro Line 6 is being renovated And therefore, it is largely closed. It was not a big problem for the British who uses the special bus service that the city has available to follow the line of the line. However, perform part of the path on the asphalt already seemed an insurmountable handicap. And although Fisher also knows what he faced because He already tried to tour all London’s bus lines In less than 24 hours, from the Madrid subway they have confirmed that, finally, the British has preferred to devote its passage to Madrid to take times for a future attempt. These successive attempts and their years of dedication hatched three years ago in a documentary called Team Fisher in which his attempt is to travel the 272 stations of the London Metro before the end of the day. And he also tells his experience in the book Tube Challenge: The Ultimate Ride. And is that the challenge of touring all the stations of the London suburban It began in 1960. Since then, they have accumulated to 22 new records that, yes, dance slightly in the number of stations. At the moment, the innumerable works by Madrid It seems that they have delayed a new attempt by the British that has been one of the subway claims for this week mobility. But something tells us that we will find it again in one of the hundreds of platforms of the Madrid Metro, notebook and stopwatch in hand.

A triplegable missile that marks territory in front of the entire industry

by

Buy or not a tablet. That is the big question when the mobile falls short to work or see content comfortably. At that point more doubts arise: if it is worth investing in another device, if it compensates to always load with it, if we really need it. Everything has its pros and cons. But what if there was a single screen for everything? What recently sounded to experiment today is a reality that steps strongly: folding mobiles have taken another step. They are no longer folded only by two, now they also fold in three. The most striking example is the new Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Designthe second triplegable company. The Chinese brand presents it with a clear objective: Attract those looking for more than a traditional smartphone. Huawei Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Technical Card Screens Folding: 6.4 ”(2232 × 1008) Double: 7.9 ”(2232 × 2048) Triple: 10.2 ”(2232 × 3184) OLED · LTPO (adaptive soda rate) PWM 1440 HZ · 240 Hz touch sampling Processor Kirin 9020 Operating system Harmonyos 5.1 RAM 12 GB / 16 GB Storage 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB Rear cameras MAIN: 50 MP, F/1.4 – F/4.0, RYYB, OIS, 10 Steps Physical Opening Ultra wide angle: 40 mp, f/2.2, Ryyb Telefoto Periscope: 12 MP, F/3.4, Ryyb, OIS, 5,5x optical zoom (Digital 50x) Front camera 8 mp ultra wide angle, f/2.2 Load and battery Cable: up to 66 W; Inverse 5 w · wireless: up to 50 w; Inverse 7.5 w 5600 mAh Accessories Compatible with M-PEN 3 (air gestures, button) Bluetooth keyboard Price Since 17,999 yuan (about 2,165 euros) A huge screen and the entire Huawei muscle This mobile is a sophistication exercise. The rear wears a textured finish that highlights even more with its octagonal camera module, framed in gold. Metal edges maintain the same tone, creating a uniform and elegant aesthetic. It is available in black, white, purple and soft red, all with golden details that reinforce their exclusive character. Huawei had already surprised with the Mate XT, his first folding of three sections. Now, with this Mate XTS, refine your proposal without drastic changes with the naked eye, but with improvements that make it more ambitious. Its main protagonist is the screen: an X-True panel of 10.2 inches and 3K resolution that folds into two points to adopt different sizes according to the use. It can become a 7.9 -inch tablet or a 6.4 -inch smartphone, always with a 92% screen ratio that takes full advantage of the space. The panel includes LTPO technology to dynamically adjust the refreshment rate and offer a more fluid experience. Despite its size, Huawei has made the device surprisingly light in hand, and its construction with materials such as UTG glass and reinforced components promise to provide resistance without losing elegance. Under the hood, the Mate XTS premieres the new Kirin 9020 processor, accompanied by Harmonyos 5.1. Huawei says a jump of more than 36% in performance Regarding its predecessor, optimizing multitasking, apps and energy consumption. In addition, it incorporates advanced antennas and satellite connectivity (according to availability), which allows you to maintain communication even without land coverage. The photographic section is another of its great arguments. Mounted a three-chamber system: a 50 MP principal with variable opening (f/1.4-f/4.0) and optical stabilization, an ultra large angle of 40 MP) a notable jump from the 12 MP of the previous model) and a 12 MP teleobjective with 5.5x and digital optical zoom of up to 50x. The 8 MP front camera is complemented with functions such as the double view to preview the photos from both sides of the screen. Autonomy is in charge of a 5600 mAh battery with silicon anode, which promises resistance without compromising thickness. Admits Fast charging of 66 w by cable and 50 w wireless. Huawei has paid attention to the productivity section: the mobile is compatible with the M-Pen 3 pencil, which allows you to draw, take notes or control presentations with air gestures. It also works with a bluetooth keyboard designed. At the software level, the experience is designed to take advantage of the triplegable format. Harmonyos 5.1 Includes a multiventana mode that allows you to stack applications, drag content between screens and run full PC apps such as WPS Office o Graphic editing programs. Functions such as screen translation or a voice assistant. Price and availability of Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design has just been officially presented in China. At the moment, there are no details about its arrival in Europe, but its prices in the Asian market allow us to get an idea of ​​its range. Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design. 12+256 GB: 17,999 yuan (about 2,165 euros) Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design. 16+512 GB: 19,999 yuan (about 2,405 euros) Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design. 16 GB + 1 TB: 21,999 yuan (about 2,646 euros) We have made an approximate direct conversion to euros, although that does not mean that these are the final prices if the device arrives in Spain.

Telecinco has just closed the worst month in audience of its entire history. This fall urgently needs a revulsive

by

That Telecinco is in hearing crisis is no longer news. We have been talking about it since ‘Save Me’ stopped being a talisman for audiences and The afternoons they became a problem For the channel. But the well in which the Mediaset chain is involved seems to have no background and this August 2025 plays new Historical minimum. Of course, it must be taken into account that this summer month is a decrease in the Share of all chains, but the debacle is so striking that not even talismans as’The island of temptations‘They seem to work. Evil record. A year ago Telecinco already signed minimums with 8.6% of Sharebut this year it has fallen to 8%. August, as we say, is low consumption month, so what really should worry Telecinco is that in January of this year it already was around those same figures, with 8.7%, and for that there is no excuse. Since the second half of 2021, Telecinco does not see the light, and two other resounding figures corroborate it: that 8% also represents the greatest distance of the last 27 years with Antena 3, 4.3 margin points; And on Saturday, August 23 Telecinco had the worst data in its history, 6.4% of Share. What has failed. None of the summer bets have gone well. Although the mornings have endured with dignity, the nights have been disastrous: series such as’ missing ‘or’ Scated murderers’, cinema on Wednesdays or repositions of ‘Fridays’ have had to receive the support of a’First Dates‘Imported of four. He Prime Time The channel was destabilized because of how bad ‘the summer of temptations’ had worked, an attempt to stretch the popular gum reality With images of the previous seasons and that did not work, as the information of the news did not work. What is planned. Telecinco, of course, does not fain, and although it seems that it has resigned to present war in the Access They have dominated ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’it foresees more than a powerful premiere. This is the case of the return of ‘Dancing with the stars’, Joaquín Prat trying to recover the throne of’ Save realities that has the favor of the public: the presence of ex-concurss. Nothing is forever. Telecinco is forced to continue looking for spare parts for its successive failures, no matter how much the streak is agonized. The example of the1 finding thanks to the afternoon snakes and the arrival of David Broncano Some proposals with which to deal with the Almighty Antena 3 is a phenomenon in a certain inspiring sense (we will see how it is given to the1 with ‘direct to the grain’, the new Magacin with Marta Flich and Gonzalo Miró). Telecinco must have found some satisfaction in the fact that the public chain has not been able to Reactivate the ‘Save Me’ phenomenon with the loud prick of ‘The family of TV‘. The waters return to their channel in that sense, and perhaps Telecinco is able to find an alternative with which to present battle. Sure. The season starts is quiet on television, with bets on all the channels that are sure: ‘Masterchef Celebrity’, ‘La Voz’, and series such as ‘The Crossroads’, ‘Sin Gluten’ and ‘The Agency’. Even Telecinco seems to iPtar by a turn to the conservative: two years ago, in 2023, he tried Channel Vasile Exit With a turn to the white and the familiar, but the urgency forces to rethink that reorientation. Names like Ana Rosa Quintana or Jorge Javier Vázquez (of the few who firmly maintain competitive audiences) and franchises such as ‘Survivors’, ‘Big Brother’ and ‘The island of temptations’ seem to choose to look at the glorious past before looking for alternatives. A decisive September starts for the chain. Header | Telecinco In Xataka | Leticia Sabater is no longer a nostalgic artifact, but a transgenerational artist: most of her audience is very young

It is a problem for the entire PL

by

Scientists who measure the position of the earth in the universe with a millimeter precision have been experiencing a growing problem in their measurements for years. The exponential increase in wireless traffic, which goes from WiFi connections to the Internet by satellite and mobile data network, is interfering with astronomical observations that allow to locate our planet in the cosmos. This is not turkey mucus, because without these measurements, everyday services such as GPS, online banking or global supply chains could collapse. Black holes measurements. For satellites to work properly, we need to know exactly where they are at every moment. This task depends on Geodesya science that establishes precise reference frameworks using astronomical objects such as anchor points. The most stable and distant we know are the Supermasive black holes located in the distant galaxies center. When stars and gas devour, they emit radiation jets that radio telescopes can detect by means of a technique called Interferometry very long base. An increasingly saturated network. Radiolescopes need specific frequencies of the Radioelectric spectrum To capture these weak signals from deep space. For decades, this “traffic” was scarce and scientists could use bands not reserved exclusively for astronomy. But the situation has changed dramatically. Six generations of mobile telephony, increasingly powerful wifi networks and thousands of satellites sending the Internet The spectrum has satiated directly to Earth. Terrestrial signals are now so intense that they prevent geodesic observatories “see” through them. Collapse. The “global geodetic supply chain“Sustains modern technological infrastructure. Without precise measurements of the earth’s position, satellite navigation systems They would lose accuracyelectrical networks could be unconpired and international trade would be compromised. Hence the importance of radio telescopes and the rest of precise measurement technologies can continue to function without problems thanks to the work of geodesists. Release more frequencies. The geodesists They claim more frequencies Dedicated to astronomy within the radio spectrum, and for this international treaties must be reviewed in world conferences. Solutions such as radio silence areas are also studied around essential telescopes and agreements with satellite operators to prevent their emissions from these instruments. An example is The people of Green Bankwhich prohibits mobile networks because there are civil and military radio. Any solution must be global, since geodetic measurements require connected telescopes from all continents. The first step, however, is to become aware of the problem.

The AI erasing the entire code of your app

by

He ‘Vibe Coding‘is all A revolution. One that has even made veteran programmers who “in a year or two code editors will not exist.” However, it is also causing Very large damage in the code. Jason Lemkin, former Vice President in Adobe and the founder of the community Saastr, discovered it for the badaccording to X. Colega, where is my code? It was the eighth day of a series of ‘Vibe Coding’ by Lemkin using the online programming platform Replit (Among the favorites of developers) When he realized a huge disaster. Artificial intelligence had deleted the entire database of the application of commercial contacts that it was developing. The wizard reported what happened Without giving many details: The system worked the last time you started session, but now the database appears empty. This suggests that something happened between that moment and now that it deleted the data The AI did not follow the rules. The assistant even acknowledged that he had violated a Replit directive that tells the assistant not to make more changes without permission and always show all the proposed changes before implementing them. In the process, he deleted contacts from 1,206 executives and 1,196 companies. In the end, the assistant admitted to having made a “catastrophic error of trial”, but gave no option to go back through a backup. Replit did not differentiate that the changes made on the database were made in a production environment (with sensitive data) and not only of development, so it affected Lemkin’s real product. Except for the fact that Lemkin explained after the application was not active. “If it had been 2 to 4 weeks later, it could have been much worse,” he said. The application was almost ready, but not finished. Replit, the company, to the rescue. After becoming known in networks, Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, confirmed the case and admitted that it was “unacceptable” and that something like that “should never be possible.” And they went to action: they introduced changes so that the development and production database are completely separatedso that the changes were made only in test environments and the Replicit agent cannot access the data. Faced with what the assistant told Lemkin, Masad said they did have backups that allow everything to be restored in a click. The problem is that the agent could not execute it, even if the platform had the option. Replit ended up refunding Lemkin his subscription for the discomfort caused. An example of a whole paradigm. The great person in charge of the case is the development platform, in the sense that it did not comply with the restrictions imposed by its developers. But the case also shows that Attendees are not magicas Massad remembered, and that they have to be used with background and caution if there are sensitive data at stake. Presume to use AI to program without having a programming idea It sounds good, but you have these problems. Software engineers will have a lot of work. Yeah, fixing pifias. “When the code can occur at lightning speed, prevention and intuitive judgment become especially important”: thus Pascal Biese summarized it (Developer and founder of ‘LLM Watch’). Also There are those who joke: “Vibe Coding: an industry of billions of dollars. Fix/maintain written code with AI: Industry of one billion dollars.” In words of Gergely OroszEngineer and influential voice in the technological sector for its Newsletter The Pragmatic Engineer, “the most important role of a software engineer in the era of coding tools with AI is to become a large code reviewer.” Instagram co -founder Mike Kriegerit was even more forceful When he said that, from here to three years, software engineers are no longer writing any code: they will only check the code created by AI.

The Xiaomi Su7 has surprised the entire industry. So much that Hyundai is taking them to Korea to inspect them

by

A Xiaomi Su7 Max It has been sighted being transported to the Hyundai offices in Seoul. It has been caught since it carried a provisional research registration. As affirms The South Korean medium Bloter, Hyundai has imported several units of Chinese electric Berlin to analyze them in depth in their R&D centers. Xiaomi is hoarding great success In the world of motor racing with its latest proposals and everything indicates that the South Korean firm seeks to decipher the keys to the success of a model that has revolutionized the market. Hyundai also asks the question. Su7 has become the phenomenon of the year in the world of electric car. Xiaomi has achieved something that seemed impossible: to match the performance of a Porsche Taycan in a car that costs significantly less. With more than 300,000 units sold in just 15 months and The nürburgring record For a production electric, the Chinese model is raising blisters in traditional manufacturers. Su7 Max being carried by a truck to the Hyundai Research Center. Image: Weibo A car to investigate. The South Korean company You will transfer the units acquired to your research center Namyang in Hwaseong and his Seoul headquarters to submit them to an exhaustive analysis. In the reverse engineering process they seek to understand every technical aspect of the vehicle, from its electrical architecture to its Hyperos infotainment system, inherited from Xiaomi’s experience in smartphones. What interests most. Hyundai engineers will pay special attention to the user interface and the SU7 entertainment system, which They have been compared Favorably with Bluelink Connect of the Korean brand. Xiaomi has a great career in the software of its phones, and its work in the SU7 has been so prominent that it has become one of the aspects most valued by users and experts in the sector. A generalized concern. The Chinese advance in the automobile sector is sitting like a jug of cold water to traditional manufacturers. Euisun Chung, executive president of the Hyundai group, already He warned In an internal meeting that “there are inevitable challenges ahead”, clearly referring to competitors such as Byd and Xiaomi. Hyundai’s investment in this segment has grown 15% in the last year, reaching 32.4 billion dollars. And now what. With an expected investment of 17.6 billion dollars by 2025, almost half aimed at R&D, the company seeks to maintain its competitive position in a market where the rules of the game They are changing at a dizzying speed. Although SU7 will not officially reach Europe until 2027, its influence is already predicting an earthquake in the sector.

An entire PS4 Games Library

by

Four volunteers 378 isolated days passed In a NASA simulated Martian base growing lettuce, maintaining equipment and … also spending time playing video games. The first experiment of Chapea He ended successfully in 2024, but not without surprises about how future Martian astronauts could spend their free time. What is this about. The Chapea mission (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) locked four volunteers in Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D printed habitat of 157 square meters in Houston, Texas. The objective was to simulate the living conditions on Mars for more than a year. Anca Selariu, Nathan Jones, Ross Brockwell and Kelly Paston were the Indian bunny of this experiment that seeks to prepare future missions crew to the red planet. Videogames: Yes. Before entering isolation, from the podcast ‘Houston We have to Podcast’ They asked To the crew how they were going to decide to spend their free time. Among the proposals given, there was one that also caught the attention: they had prepared a complete library of PS4 games. Kelly Paston, commander of the mission, explained that they had “several PS4 games” with special emphasis on world construction titles, in addition to more conventional others such as F1. The idea was to have planned activities for team nights and special celebrations. THE OBJECTIVE: How the members spent time. For decades, NASA has studied the isolation and confinement of astronauts. Among the alternatives that astronauts have at hand in these missions, board games, books, movies, video games and other hobbies help to unrive the crew in times of continuous insulation. With regard to video games, it makes a lot of sense that the genres in which they focus on the construction of worlds are in the crew library, since they face the reality of literally building a new world on an uninhabited planet. Hobbies of all kinds. Of course, the four volunteers have not spent the year playing. They have cultivated tomatoes and lettuce to complement their liophilized meals, have made “Martian walks” simulated in an outer enclosure with red sand, and have maintained all habitat systems. Anca Selariu, Microbiologist of the US Navy, described The experience as “absolutely stimulating” and highlighted the emotional importance of seeing green plants grow in such an artificial environment. The experiment continues. This was only the first of the three planned chape missions. The next will begin this year and a third in 2027, all in the same installation. The data collected on the life of the members in the simulated environment will be key to design the future real Martian bases that NASA expects to establish, ambitiously, in the 2030s.

Byd is breaking the car market with very low prices. Now it has the entire industry against

by

China has entered a new price war in its automobile market. Many months after Byd and Tesla gave the battle by lowering their prices to try to get out of their competition, the Chinese company has relieved the power it has in their hands to impact their rivals. And along the way, criticism has been taken from analysts, their competitors and even the Chinese government itself. An already known play. In April 2024Byd and Tesla played hand in a race to see who could reduce the prices of their cars. Then, Elon Musk’s company looked from you to your sales from BYD but for a few months the Chinese company has stayed at the top of the table. Then we knew that the strategy could be taken ahead to some of its competitors. Byd played with its ability to sell at volume to put cheaper and attractive cars on the market while Tesla had a wide margin of benefits To press your rivals. Returning to the streets. Now it has been byd, alone, the one that has put all the meat on the grill. And the industry upside down. The company has lowered prices very aggressively, to the point that the Byd Qin Plus DM-Ia plug -in hybrid sedan, has dropped its price by more than 40% in the last two years. These discounts are applied for less than a month But they are the continuation of sales that were already applied in April. Some of its models They have reduced their price by 34% In these last sales but, above all, it is surprising that a car like the Byd Seagullwhich is already the cheapest car on the market, now is available 20% cheaper. A dangerous trend. These BYD pricing sales have been pushing the rest of the industry in the last year. The data reflects them Bloomberg In a powerful graphic: of the 30 best -selling cars in China, only one has increased its price. It doesn’t matter if you look at Chinese manufacturers or foreigners, only Tesla Model and is now more expensive (update through) than two years ago. This, according to its analysts, is a problem with the industry. They ensure that if the customer does not have the assurance that prices are maintained, it is very possible that they delay their purchase. That could be wearing part of current car sales. The second perspective is that of manufacturers. Reuters He already pointed out in 2023 that much of the automobile manufacturers in China were not profitable. According to his accounts, Byd did earn net money with each car sold but his great rivals like Xpeng or Nio lost between $ 10,000 and $ 20,000 per unit sold. Rain of criticism. Byd’s last movement seems to have tired the rivals. China Chongqing Auto Forum has been a reflection of the tensions that exist in the automobile industry. Collect in Carnewschina That the attacks between competitors have flown throughout the talk. While from ByD they insisted again on the idea that They are suffering coordinated defamatory attacksfrom Geely they have assured that their competitor behaves like a hypocrite. The specialized media in the Chinese industry argues that Victor Yang, vice president of Geely and in charge of public relations and communication snapped at his rival a hard Isn’t This just a case of the Thief Crying Thief? What could be translated by something like “the thief is believed that all are of his condition.” It was not the only poisoned dart of the event, they point out in Carnewschina. Among those responsible for Huawei and Xiaomi there were also cross statements according to their electric vehicles and only from Chery it seems that the waters were tempered with a more politically correct message, noting that the intense competition made the market better. “An Evergrande” Byd’s rivals attacks have not been a novelty either. Only a few days ago that from Great Wall Motors, another of the big Chinese companies, they said that the car market lived in a bubble that could already be defined as “an evergrande” referring to the collapse of its largest construction company. Without giving names, Wei Jianjun, head of Great Wall Motors, pointed out that The industry situation was not healthy And that vehicle automatures were being too high, with the ultimate goal of makeup the results. Lei Yunfei, responsible for BYD’s public relations, soon answered Weiboreferring the criticisms that the company was receiving. And the state answers.

Last April 4 began A very special chess chess game. With white pieces Magnus Carlsen, considered the best chess player in history. With blacks, the whole world. And the world managed to force the tables. Carlsen can’t with the world. On May 20 ended This game Freestyle chess, and did it surprisingly. After 32 movements, “the world” forced tables in a lady end thanks to the triple repetition rule. This rule allows a player to claim a draw (tables) if the same position on the board occurs at least for the third time during a game. Magnus vs. The World. The event, organized by the online chess platform Chess.comhe has faced the ex -champion of the world of classic chess – he had that title by not wanting to defend him – against more than 143,000 users of Chess.com who joined strength to try to beat him. Freestyle chess. The game did not use the rules of classic chess, but those of Freestyle chess, the new modality that Magnus Carlsen is promoting. In this modality, the positions of the pieces of the rear row (towers, horses, alfiles, lady and king) are chosen randomly, although two rules must be fulfilled. The first, that the bishops must be in boxes of different color. And the second, can be continued on both sides, so the king must always be between the two towers. Thus ended the game of Carlsen vs The World. Tables by repetition. A legend. Magnus Carlsen, 34 years old, became the world’s largest score player in 2010, at age 19, and has won five world championships. In 2014, it managed to reach the highest elo score in history, 2,882 points. In recent years, tensions with the FIDE and its own tiredness with the classic chess modality have caused the fight to defend the title of World Champion. He continues to play classic chess tournaments, but is especially interested in fast games tournaments and, in recent times, in Promote freestyle modealso known as Chess960 (chess 960) or random chess of Fischer. Voting movement. After each Movement of Carlsen, in the turn of “El Mundo” a voting system was followed that lasted 24 hours and in which all those involved in the game could participate. It was not mandatory to vote in each movement, and to help the players of “El Mundo” there were several “coaches” who shared their own reflections on the best movements with their analysis of the state of the game. A “solid” game. In statements After the game, Carlsen Indian That “in general,” the world “has played a very, very solid chess from the beginning. Perhaps he has not opted for the most entrepreneurial options, but has remained more in the normal chess line, which is not always the best strategy, but this time it has worked well. The world did not risk and worked. In the last movements the players of “The World” discussed whether to force the tables with triple repetition or try to continue playing to win it, even if that supposed the defeat. In the end the votes favored the most conservative strategy, and preferred to force the tables. The world lost against Kasparov and Anand. There have been previous events of this type. In 1999 Garry Kasparov played against more than 50,000 players via Microsoft Network and won after four months. Last year the great teacher Viswanathan Anand He won a game against more than 70,000 players at Chess.com. In both cases they were classic chess games. How was the game? Chess.com analysts have described the game as “a roller coaster” in which there were a couple of dramatic moments. Carlsen came to have a somewhat more advantageous position, but he could not take advantage of it and confesses that from that moment everything was aimed at the tables because “they did not give me a single opportunity.” Image | Frans Peeters In Xataka | A study says that AIs are “cheating” to chess.
