The era of extremely slow hurricanes is here

by

“I am speechless at how chilling these images are.” With those words, the meteorologist behind Backpirch Weather described what all the experts think seeing how Melissa reached 233 km/h and 941 mbar. That is, seeing live and direct, how “the hurricane reached an almost perfect symmetry 185 kilometers south-southwest of Kingston” (Jamaica). Above all, because (according to the National Hurricane Center) it is a matter of time before it reaches category 5 and, right after, provoke on the island “damage with little or no precedent.” A worrying trend. Melissa has been on the radar of everyone who monitors the hurricane corridor for days now. In fact, he had begun to attract attention for something curious: It was moving extremely slowly.. Now, Melissa moves at about seven kilometers per hour, but during these days she has reached three. This fits with research in recent years that suggests that the speed of hurricanes has been decreasing. And that decrease is important because “a slower-moving storm generally means more flooding and potentially more storm surge.” But Melissa wants to be more than just a trend. Because, how they explained MeteoredHurricane Melissa “has undergone explosive intensification and could reach Category 5 before making landfall in Jamaica.” 12 hours were enough. And things are going to get more serious: “the European model anticipates rains of more than 500 mm in eastern Jamaica, southwest Haiti and eastern regions of Cuba.” It is true that, As Michael Lowry pointed out“if Melissa has demonstrated anything today, it is the difficulty of predicting intensity fluctuations when hurricanes peak”; but, as he hastened to add, “in any case, the mighty Melissa stands firm.” What’s more, the videos that arrive are creepy. What is to come. As explained Álvaro OliverMelissa “has category 4 and it is not unusual for it to even reach 5, with winds exceeding 250 km/h.” But the peculiar thing will be what we said, its “very slow movement.” That could trigger the rains and cause a “great devastation in the next three days.” In Cuba They will displace almost a million peoplebut the Jamaicans don’t have much of an escape. And it is that, precisely that, that can trigger a disaster in slow motion. The next few days are going to be key not only to save hundreds of people; but also to understand why the Caribbean is becoming a death trap.

the end of an era for Elon Musk’s megarocket

by

After a few eternal months of lights and shadowsSpaceX is ready to close a stage and move on to the next chapter. It’s launch Monday and the last Starship V2 is on the pad, stacked for takeoff. If all goes well, it will be a final test before the long-awaited debut of the Starship V3, the most powerful rocket in the world. Release date and time. The window for Starship’s eleventh test flight opens on Monday, October 13, at 18:15 CDT from Starbase, Texas. If there is a problem, SpaceX could delay the countdown by up to 75 minutes before delaying the launch by 24 hours. This time, the first takeoff attempt has favorable weather, with clear skies and light winds. Madrid, Spain (CEST, UTC+2): Tuesday, October 14 at 01:15 Mexico City, Mexico (CST, UTC−6): Monday, October 13 at 5:15 p.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina (ART, UTC-3): Monday, October 13 at 8:15 p.m. Bogotá, Colombia (COT, UTC-5): Monday, October 13 at 18:15 Lima, Peru (PET, UTC-5): Monday, October 13 at 18:15 Santiago, Chile (CLT, UTC-4): Monday the 13th at 20:15 Caracas, Venezuela (VET, UTC-4): Monday, October 13 at 7:15 p.m. How to see the flight live. As usual, SpaceX will broadcast the launch through their website and of your official X account. The broadcast will begin 30 minutes before takeoff. For those who want a multi-camera experience, channels like NASASpaceflight and Everyday Astronaut They will offer live coverage with their own cameras from near Starbase. And in Spanish, coverage of Space Frontier, Mission Control, Manuel Mazzanti either SpaceXStormamong others. Goodbye to a historic platform. In addition to the last flight of Starship V2this will be the last liftoff for launch pad 1a in its current configuration. The structure survived a first explosive takeoff that left a crater in the concrete, was reinforced with a water-cooled steel plate in the following ones, and went down in history by catching a Super Heavy booster for the first time on the fifth flight. It will now undergo a profound remodeling for the new generation of rockets. Farewell without landing. The protagonist of the mission will be the Super Heavy booster “Booster 15”, which has already flown and landed successfully on the eighth mission. Its objective is to test for the first time the landing sequence that future V3 thrusters will use, turning on 13 engines for initial braking, five to adjust its trajectory with greater redundancy and three to simulate a hovering flight over the Gulf of Mexico before saying goodbye with a splash. A Starship on the limit, again. Ship 38 has an even tighter schedule. On the one hand, it will repeat the feats of the previous flight, including the deployment of eight mock-ups of Starlink satellites and the restart of a Raptor engine in space. On the other hand, it will undergo stress tests even more aggressive than those of the previous flight. After the iconic image of Starship covered in rust upon her return on flight 10this time SpaceX has removed even more thermal tiles to see how many can be missing before the ship’s fuselage fails during reentry. The ship will also execute a banking maneuver in the final phase of the flight to test subsonic guidance algorithms, a step that will allow the ship to be aligned with the launch tower in future landing attempts (SpaceX plans to recover both the booster and the ship starting next year). The generational leap to V3. But as we said, the highlight of the flight is that it marks the end of a stage. The current version of the rocket has had a spotty track record. While the Super Heavy boosters have worked almost always, the ships suffered four consecutive explosions before Ship 37 was redeemed on Flight 10. Ship 38’s mission is to close this chapter with another success, courtesy of the small design changes that SpaceX has been introducing, as well as provide new data before SpaceX focuses entirely on the Starship V3, a beast that promises to increase the rocket’s low-orbit payload capacity from 35 to 100 tons. Starship’s reliability is key not only to Musk’s Martian dream, but also to NASA, which depends on the rocket to return to the Moon. While Doubts grow and alternatives like Jeff Bezos’s are being consideredan eleventh successful flight would be a blow to the table and a definitive push towards the new rocket era. As Elon Musk often says, no matter what happens, a spectacle is guaranteed.

In the Tiktok era, our laptops are still horizontal. Lenovo’s idea: a rotating panel

by

There are countless vertical content that we see daily on horizontal screens. This text, without going any further. Also a Tiktok video They share us by WhatsApp, a short, an article, a book or a PDF. The programming too It is very grateful for a vertical screen. The problem is that if we use a laptop, we have no option. The screen is horizontal yes or yes, and it does not seem viable or makes a lot of sense to make a vertical laptop. Well, Lenovo has had an idea of ​​the most peculiar: a laptop with a screen that rotates. This is the Lenovo Thinkbook Vetiflex Concept in vertical mode | Image: Xataka Lenovo Thinkbook Veriflex Concept. That is the name that receives this peculiar device that the company has taught during its conference in IFA and that from Xataka we have had the opportunity to try. The device, at first glance, is a conventional laptop, but if we throw up the upper right corner we can pivot the 90 degree screen and put it vertically. The Windows interface, of course, adapts to the new format as it does on tablets. How it works. Between the rotating screen and the rear support there is a hinge. Unlike other devices, such as the roller laptop (which we have also been able to throw the glove) or the TV Samsung the serothe mechanism is manual. It does not turn automatically. To my surprise, the turn is very, very fluid and soft. Another thing is that it transmits rigidity, which does not do so. To turn the screen you have to pull this corner | Image: Xataka On the other hand, the hinge does not support several positions (for the cover photo I had to make some juggling). The screen can only be put in vertical or horizontal, not in intermediate positions. Something that, everything is said, has all the meaning of the world because why we would like to have an inclined panel 45 degrees. It shows that it is a concept. The hinge is perfectly exposed to the outside. It is not seen with the naked eye, but the mechanism can be seen if we look from above or on the lid when we pivot the screen. That is something that, if you want to launch it commercially, would have to change. It would be enough to accumulate some dust inside to cause a failure. For that same reason, folding mobiles have a kind of cap protecting the hinge. This is how the hinge area is seen from behind | Image: Xataka The thickness of the screen is similar to that of a conventional laptop | Image: Xataka Another aspect that seemed curious is that the screen cannot be pivoted with one hand. By pulling the upper right corner, we have, in turn, to hold the laptop chassis with the other hand so that it does not move. Surely here you have to make concessions in one or another address: or a resistant hinge that endures long -term or a lighter hinge that allows the operation with one hand. The idea is very cool. The Lenovo Thinkbook Vrtiflex Concept has a 14 -inch panel, weighs 1.39 kilos and I must recognize that it feels surprisingly natural. The feeling has been like the first time I opened a folding mobile (curiously, Motorola Razr It’s now … Six years, my God, how time passes). At first it is strange, but when you have done it a couple of times and you have lost the “fear of breaking”, it is natural. As much as changing any vertical to vertical tablet. Moreover, I find it more natural than folding a convertible, without going any further. Horizontal, the laptop passes through a normal and current laptop | Image: Xataka Personally, I can imagine using such a laptop. For productivity, I think the horizontal format serves me better, but if I am working on a topic and I have to read documentation, or it is good for me to have more text on the screen or, simply, the new chapter of One Piece has just left and I want to read it in conditions without changing the device, it sounds good to turn to turn the portable screen. Will you see the light one day? From Lenovo they have insisted that it is a concept and, as such, leaves several unknowns on the table. The first is its durability. From the firm they have not confirmed what expectations have in the hinge because, after all, it is a device fresh out of a laboratory. The second is if it will be launched at some point. Folded, again, it’s like any other laptop | Image: Xataka Lenovo invests 2,000 million dollars annually in R&D. Some of the products you develop never see the light. Others are prototypes or concepts that feel the bases, which are the seed, of products that are then launched. And I know well because I had in my hands the first folding portable concept quite a while before Light saw in the form of a final product. We do not know if we will see this implementation in a product at some point, but it must be said that it could make sense in certain cases of use. Be that as it may, I have no doubt that Lenovo has a job ahead, starting to hide the hinge better and remove such a delicate mechanism from dust and/or the inclement ones to which a laptop can be subjected when we carry it in the backpack.

We are attending at the beginning of an era dangerous in commercial aviation. One in which if you go to a funeral the ticket will cost you more

by

In the United States they are already called “surveillance -based prices” (Surveillance Pricing), and they consist in a simple and scary principle: that companies that sell products and services do it in a personalized way with AI algorithms that will analyze all the information they have about you. Delta, what are you doing. In Delta Air Lines they raised to do that, but the idea He ended up knowing each other and being very criticized. So much that several American senators published an open letter demanding the CEO of the airline to explain those plans. In Delta they intended to eliminate static prices to replace them with dynamic prices that were adjusted to what each client theoretically was willing to pay. How are these personalized prices calculated? Companies such as Fetcher – who collaborates with Delta or Virgin Atlantic – have been working on these systems since 2019. They have deep learning experts (Deep Learning) and have one “Large Market Model“, an AI model that is capable of generating those custom prices based on the information of each user. Spying on to meet you better. In fact his CEO, Roy Cohen, explained That this model is trained “with all the data we can collect”, and on the company’s website they affirm that this type of systems could increase the benefits of airlines by 4.4 billion dollars annually. To collect this data, surveillance -based price systems use all types of third -party channels such as the purchasing history of a passenger, its navigation history, its geolocation, its activity in social networks, its biometric data or its financial statement. If you leave funeral, we upload the price. The former member of the FTC Lina Khan Council He already explained that this type of custom pricing systems could raise disturbing cases. A conceivable example would be that of an airline that uses artificial intelligence to collect a higher rate to a passenger “because the company knows that it has just suffered a death in the family and needs to fly to the other side of the country.” The intention was to abandon static prices. In July the president of Delta, Glen Hauenstein, declared which hoped that at the end of the year 20% of the price of its tickets will be determined individually by these AI systems. At that time that percentage was 3%, the triple that in autumn of 2024, but is that the objective was to completely abandon the current price setting systems to make the jump to these personalized and calculated prices based on what is known about each passenger. The pain threshold. The system would also put to the limit the so -called “pain threshold” of each client, establishing that maximum amount that the data suggests that these passengers want to pay. If you are in a hurry – as in the hypothetical situation of having to go to a funeral – the price would increase, while in a routine trip the price would be comparatively lower. Consumer surplus. There is a theoretical principle that explains very well the intentions of companies such as Delta Air Lines. Is called consumer surplusand it is the difference between what a client is willing to pay and what he really pays. Companies seek to capture that surplus, and AI allows you to do it almost perfectly. That, of course, entails a risk: if customers pay the maximum for what they buy, they will have less income for other expenses. Here it will be more difficult for them to do it. In Europe carrying out this type of plans seems difficult: the General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) prohibits automated decisions based on personal data and that have meaningful effects on the user unless it gives their explicit consent. Like dynamic, but supervitaminated prices. It really is of all known that there are many companies that make use of the so -called dynamic prices that try to adjust supply and demand. Airlines have always used them —The price varies according to the day and time of the week or the number of days before the flight – but they are also well known in VTC companies such as Uber or Cabify. Said systems, of coursethey have unleashed more than one controversyand there were suspicions that Uber even raised the price if you reserved a trip When you had little battery. However, these systems do not have that massive data collection section and user profiles that raise prices based on surveillance.

DDR6 memories promise a new era for the PC. And also a new way of riding them

by

The next generation of RAM memories It is getting closer. While we continue adapting to DDR5the industry It already works at full speed in the DDR6, which promise to double the current performance and arrive in a novel format for the domestic user. Under these lines we wanted to collect everything we know about this new version so far. Vertigo speeds. DDR6 do not promise a simple evolution. And they will also offer a radical change in memory architecture. With Minimum speeds of 8,800 mt/s According to the Jedec standard and the possibility of reaching 17,600 mt/s, they practically double the performance of the current DDR5. Samsung, Micron and Sk Hynix They have already passed the prototype phase and work together with Intel, AMD and NVIDIA in the validation processes. THE SECRET OF THE PERFORMANCE. The key is in The new 4 × 24-bit sub-channel architecturecompletely different from the 2 × 32-bit structure of DDR5. This change allows to manage more data simultaneously, but also introduces new challenges in the integrity of the signal. Jedec is evaluating the use of NRZ standard (Non-back to zero) For communications, abandoning the current PAM system that already shows limitations with the highest speeds of DDR5. Goodbye to traditional modules. Here comes the most visual change: DDR6 is likely adopt the CAMM2 formatwhere the modules are placed in parallel to the motherboard instead of perpendicular such as the Dimm and So-Dimm of a lifetime. This modification has its explanation. And it is that the current Topology of the memory slots generates interference that limit the maximum speed up to 400 mt/s. CAMM2 eliminates these problematic welded connections and transfers signal management to the module itself. A change when setting up a PC. The change of format involves completely redesigning the motherboards, but opens new possibilities. CAMM2 connectors could be located at the back of the plate, allowing more compact factors. Although initially require several screws for their fastening, Jedec works on installation systems without tools. In parallel, everything indicates that we will see more portable and Mini PCs with Solded memory directly (something increasingly common today), sacrificing the ability to expand for better performance. In a few years. The deadlines are more or less clear. The validation of platforms will begin in 2026, they will reach servers in 2027 and the availability for consumers is expected to be between 2028 and 2029. This staggering is similar to that with DDR5, but analysts predict faster adoption in artificial intelligence environments and high performance computing. Everything indicates that the initial prices will also remember those of DDR5 in 2021, limiting early adoption to data centers and research laboratories. What comes after. DDR6 will not only offer more speed: they promise greater energy efficiency and higher capabilities thanks to New NAND chips in development. For players and content creators, it will mean more bandwidth for work loads that involve AI and demanding applications. However, this evolution will require new motherboard, compatible processors and a different way of mounting a PC.

GPT-5 is being a tortuous path for OpenAi and points to an uncomfortable reality: the era of the head is over

by

Chatgpt-5 is falling. They have not confirmed it directly, but Sam Altman is already in ‘Hype’ mode and all Rumors They point out that the new model will be presented this month. That GPT-5 It will improve its predecessors is evident. However, as has happened in other industries (Did anyone say smartphones?) The rhythm of the advances is slowing down and everything indicates that GPT-5 will not be the revolution that were previous versions. A discreet jump. They tell it in The Information. Sources close to OpenAI say that, although with improvements, the qualitative leap will not be as great as it was with GPT-3 and GPT-4. This contrasts with Altman’s constant mentions The close thing that is to achieve a general artificial intelligence (AGI), an AI capable of matching the smartest human being in all areas of knowledge. But Chatgpt-5 is far from being AGI and also OpenAi has encountered numerous obstacles along the way. The GPT-5 that was not. At the end of 2024, Openai was working on an internally nicknamed model and that was the candidate to become GPT-5. However, the jump with respect to the previous version was not large enough and finally OpenAi decided to launch it as GPT-4.5, an intermediate version that Nor was it a great improvement With respect to its competition. In Xataka A group of experts in AI attended a party in a mansion. The topic of conversation: what will be when AI ends humanity The one that will be. Openai has continued working on what GPT-5 will be and is about to launch. According to internal sources, the new model improves especially in programming and also does so more efficiently; It is able to produce higher quality code without consuming more computing power. Openai wanted to improve this area, where Anthropic takes a lot of advantage with Claude Code. GPT-5 will also improve its agricultural skills and will be able to follow complex instructions to function without human supervision. In The Information they cite an example about a customer service agent. Giving it a list of rules, GPT-5 can decide when a client must receive a refund, while in previous models they needed to see many complex cases to do it well. Although there will be improvements, The shadow that will not be surprising continues to fly over. Obstacles. The Tensions between Openai and Microsoft They have hindered the advance of the new model. There have been internal friction between both companies, especially for intellectual property issues. Openai accused Microsoft of anti -competitive behaviors. Microsoft accused Openai of not giving access to his most advanced models. They also faced a shortage problem of quality training data and, more recently, the Discompassed talents to the team of Zuckerberg Superintelligence and Google by removing Windsurfhis commitment to the Vibe-Coding. {“Videid”: “X9N4GWC”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “OpenAi has presented chatgpt agent”, “Tag”: “chatgpt”, “duration”: “47”} The challenge. Openai has encountered a problem: that specialized reasoning can be taken to a chat with which we can talk naturally. It is what happened to them with O3, the reasoning model that They presented in April and that will feed GPT-5. Both this model and O1 were trained by reinforced learning, but O3 provided much more processing capacity and obtained surprising results. However, by turning it into a version of chat, that performance fell into chopped and I lost many capabilities. The reasoning model is so powerful that the response time increases a loteven for very simple questions. GPT-5 is expected to be at an intermediate point. Continuism. GPT-5 improvements may be more than enough for OpenAI continues to feed your machinerybut it seems clearer that there is a deceleration of the generative AI. At the end of 2023 Bill Gates already said that I did not believe that GPT-5 would be much better than GPT-4 and that the generative AI was close to its roof. It is an almost natural process and that we have seen with other industries such as smartphones: a lot of innovation and qualitative leaps in the first years, followed by a continuous stage in which the novelties are lower and the sensation is progress, but much slower.

Sydney Sweeney stars in a new announcement of jeans. And for some it is the end of the “era woke”

by

The campaign that Sydney Sweeney has starred for American Eagle He has raised an opinion polcareda in the United States, with accusations of racism and even Eugenics Defense that are rarely made to clothing marks. On the surface, criticisms accompanied by the moment of special sensitivity in the country; If we deepen a little more, an authentic thermometer of the Anti-Woke wave that deployed throughout the state since Donald Trump won the elections. American Woman. That Sweeney star in a campaign for American Eagle has nothing strange: one of the actresses with a more canonical beauty of the current Star System Hollywood Juvenile at the service of a purely American jeans brand. The ads have an erotic and fashionable point, almost Vintage In his shameless contemplation of Sweeney’s physicist, and at the same time self -conscious, to parodic of pure topic (checking the engine of a typical American car, recording with a video camera, I made a casting …) Good genes. The problematic is the slogan: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans”, an intraductible misunderstanding set between genes and jeansthat in English they pronounce the same. In one of the clips The misunderstanding comes to make explicit, and the protests have happened. Articles like this room They speak of commentators strange that it is precisely a blonde, white and blue -eyed woman, which is described as’ good genes. “It is a speech that many find, as the article details, uncomfortably similar to the discourse on The “upper race” of the Nazissince “good genes” is a message that has traditionally wielded ideology groups related to eugenics. Eugenics Today. The eugenic movement in the United States was An important social and scientific phenomenonmainly active from the end of the 19th century until the mid -twentieth century, and aimed Improve “genetic quality” of the population through selective breeding and reproduction control. It was greatly fed by beliefs in biological determinism and The racial hierarchy And he frequently pointed to groups considered “not suitable”, as poor, disabled, certain racial and immigrant minorities of the southern and east of Europe. Today, the movement does not exist in an organized way, but has experienced resurgence Thanks to certain political and social groups auged by Trump’s conservative ideas: beliefs in “genetic purity”, opposition to diversity efforts and hard migratory positions framed in statements pseudo-biological about “bad genes.” Even today laws persist in the country based on eugenic principles, such as norms for “usual criminals” or The laws of three crimes. Ozempic Empire. Some observers They also point to Ozempic consumptionwho has grown up significantly in the United States. The medicine has become a social phenomenonwith a boom auged by Influencers and pressure on social networks that encourage its use to lose weight. This has done that The movement Body Positivity that claimed diverse bodies and not adjusted to traditional canons of beauty has entered into decline: in front of a new cult of thinness and an “era of self-injection.” In Tiktok, this Return to the ideal of very thin bodies Similar to 2000, disguised as inclusion and self -acceptance, it already has a name: “Skinnytok”. Woke decays. All this panorama (claim of canonical bodies, toying accusation with defiantly ultra -right -wing root ideas, the theoretical undercover racism) is under the umbrella A broader and more complex phenomenon: The recent wave that groups politicians, influencers, podcasters and Leaders of the technological sector that They oppose the policies and speeches associated with the “woke ideology”. For example, an icon of this movement, the governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, has promoted laws to combat the teaching of the critical theory of the race, which enters with the theories we have seen above. Antiwake wave critics denounce that, disguised as Fight for Freedom of Expression (which is undoubtedly what allows American Eagle to launch campaigns like this), this rhetoric serves to preserve white and conservative power structures, attacking narratives that promote racial and social justice. That is, very in line with criticism of this new campaign starring Sidney Sweeney.

There are more and more people summarizing books with chatgpt instead of reading them: Welcome to the era of post-alfabetization

by

@alz_zyd_ In X: Spending an hour asking Chatgpt about Adam Smith generally teaches you the triple to spend an hour reading ‘the richness of nations’. University students use because it is a better and more efficient way to learn. The comment of Doug Henwood: We have fully entered postalfabetization and this is really alarming. They talk about A silent transformation but quite fast and, apparently, massive: Students have discovered that they can “read” ‘The richness of nations‘, The academic manual of economy par excellence, talking with Chatgpt. According to the first – University Professor – an hour of dialogue gives them more processable information than weeks battling with Adam Smith’s original. Efficiency is overwhelming. In Xataka The new illiteracy has nothing to do with knowing how to read or write: it is to use AI as an oracle instead of as a tool AND Many students are adopting this practicesomething endorsed by Papers. They do it without fuss. They have simply found a better method to absorb complex knowledge: They load the PDF They ask for the main ideas. They throw specific questions. They ask for clarifications. They request contemporary examples. The result: Understanding the fundamentals of the economy in a fraction of the necessary time so far. The problem is that they learn to read manuals in a very different way. This cognitive mutation has been baptized by Henwood as “postalfabetization.” We continue to have the ability to read, but we have outsourced intellectual digestion. As with spatial orientation and the use of GPS, we are delegating a basic brain function at AI. From this There was already talk More than fifteen years ago. Deep reading It demands mental resistancetolerance to ambiguity, gradual construction of criteria. Chatgpt Instead, it offers instant clarity and immediate synthesis. {“Videid”: “X9N4GWC”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “OpenAi has presented chatgpt agent”, “Tag”: “chatgpt”, “duration”: “47”} The generation that grows with this practice will develop other cognitive skills: On the one hand, higher processing speed, better synthesis capacity, perhaps broader conceptual connections. On the other, a huge dependence on algorithmic intermediary. When all the information comes pre-processed, the muscle of critical thought ends up atrophy. Postalfabetization is surely inevitable, probably irreversible. Those who dominate both modes – traditional lift, dialogue with AI – will have an advantage. The rest will be trapped in their own efficiency: brilliant on the surface but vulnerable in depth.

This is how the ‘Paypal Mafia’ became the largest quarry of Tech millionaires in our era. That and much more in 1×13 crossover

by

Elon Musk was already obsessed with the letter X a long time ago. Her particular fixation with her has a lot to do with nostalgia And with a 1999 waitressbut the truth is that this letter was already the germ of something very big. In fact, in March 1999 We had a first version of X.com. It was very different, and Musk’s goal was not to change Twitter’s name – which did not exist at that time – but to create a financial startup. The funny thing is that the offices of X.com were glued to those of Confinity, the company co -founded by Peter Thiel with a similar objective. After a while competing, both decided that it was best to join forces, and from that alliance PayPal was born. That at first he did not curb, but that he ended up doing it with some “thugs” techniques and with the work of one of the teams with the greatest talent in history. Those boys, yes, soon realized that they wanted to be their own bosses. When Ebay bought PayPal in 2002the mission, leadership and objectives no longer convinced those engineers. So they decided to ride it on their own. AND This is how the famous “Paypal Mafia” was borna group of entrepreneurs who fled from PayPal with counting and sound money and who used it to found their own projects. Thiel set up his Founders Fund and Palantir, Elon Musk launched Tesla or Spacex, and other employees ended up joining each other or founding their own mega projects: YouTube, LinkedIn or Yelp are among them. The conclusion: Paypal was the germ of an entire Internet revolutionbecause these services began to change our conception of the network of networks. That is the central theme of Crossover 1×13an episode that is always led by Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia and that brings a few fun sections.

The designer company who marked an era in Cupertino will buy

by

For years, Apple was synonymous with boldness. He made quick decisions, broke conventions and challenged the entire industry. Now Apple has become a Big Tech that moves much more caution, but some see an echo of that attitude today in OpenAi. Now, in a way, the firm of the led by Sam Altman is connecting even more to the roots of the Cupertino company. OpenAI He has just announced An agreement to acquire IO, the Startup of devices co -founded by Jony Ive, in an operation valued at almost 6.5 billion dollars. According to Bloombergthe agreement is completely structured in shares: 5,000 million dollars correspond to the purchase of 77 % of the company, and the rest comes from an earlier investment of 23 % that Openai made in 2024. A designer who scored an era in Apple. Jony Ive was not one more designer. He joined Apple in 1992 and, together with Steve Jobs, helped shape a generation of iconic products: the IMAC, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch … even the controversy Magic Mouse with its load port at the bottom. His aesthetic vision defined Apple’s design language for decades. After leaving the company in 2019, IVE founded the Lovefrom creative study. And a year ago, IO with Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey and Tang Tan, three key figures in Apple’s products. The IO team brings together more than 50 experts in hardware, software and manufacturing processes, many of which have worked together for years. Now they will be integrated into Openai. OpenAi is thrown at the hardware with an ambitious vision. Until now, Openai has been a software -centered company. Chatgpt and its language models, such as GPT-4O, are virtual tools. Some of them have been made up of other companies in tangible products, such as Microsoft’s co -pilot, but OpenAi had not directly approached the creation of devices. That is about to change. According to a letter published by Altman And IVE on the official OpenAI website, the collaboration between both parties began two years ago, discreetly and motivated by “friendship, curiosity and shared values.” From those first conversations, ideas and prototypes arose that, little by little, took shape. The objective, they say, is to create a new family of products “that inspire, empower and train.” What can we expect now? Although concrete details have not been shared, the first device is expected to be the result of this union to see the light in 2026. In statements collected by Bloomberg, IVE has indicated that consumer technology has not been really new, and that people are looking exactly that. The IO team will continue to operate from its offices in Jackson Square (San Francisco), but already collaborates closely with Openai engineers and designers. Lovefrom, on the other hand, will assume new responsibilities in design and product experience for both software and future devices. A path with obstacles (and recent learning). Openai’s jump to hardware does not arrive in an empty context. In recent months, other IA -promoted devices projects have failed loudly, such as the Human Ai Pin or Rabbit R1. The operation must still be approved by regulators and will be completed foreseeably this summer. From there, the challenge begins: demonstrate that Openai can also mark a before and after in the hardware field. The wait will be worth it, “Altman told the aforementioned American media.” It’s an ambitious and crazy idea. “ Images | OpenAI (1, 2) | Apple | Colin Davis In Xataka | The latest Google event makes clear what the true future of accessories is: glasses connected with Android XR
