will have 129 million euros to achieve it

It is the fourteenth supercomputer in the world according to the TOP500 listis in Spain and is called MareNostrum 5. But it is also a “living” system because it continues to evolve and adapt to new times. In fact, it has just received a notable injection of capital for a critical update: the one that will allow it to work with AI model training and inference. 129 million for MareNostrum 5. As explained at the BSC (Barcelona Supercomputing Center), the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has signed the contract for the acquisition of new hardware elements for MareNostrum 5. It does so with the collaboration of Fsas Technologies (Fujitsu) and Telefónica. The budget is close to 129 million euros and will be co-financed 50% by EuroHPC and the other 50% by Spain, Portugal and Turkey. The update will be installed during the first half of 2026. The project, defined in the documentation of the European Commission, started in July 2025. MareNostrum 5 adapts. This update will not be a “more of the same”, but is focused entirely on artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. The project also has another objective: to strengthen European digital sovereignty, which will reduce technological dependencies and prevent unwanted technology transfers outside the EU. HPC used to rule, now AI will also rule. The expanded architecture of MareNostrum 5 will make use of specialized compute partitions. Thus, there will be at least one for LLM training and another for inference. Today this supercomputer has five different partitions and according to the TOP500 list it has an Rmax power of 175.30 PFLOPS (FP64, Linkpack) or 215.40 PFLOPS according to EuroHPC. Its total power capacity is 20 MW. 30 Exaflops FP4 for AI. In the white paper the goal is to achieve 30 FP4 exaflops, which seems like a huge jump, but it must be clarified that the current 0.17 FP64 exaflops are dedicated to classic High Performance Computing (HPC). These FP4 exaflops are dedicated to training and massive inference, and cannot be easily compared to those FP64 exaflops. The technical description of the GH72 partition, even without explicitly mentioning NVIDIA, clearly fits your DGX GB200 NVL72. NVIDIA in the pools. Although the technical documentation does not specify what type of hardware will be used, it does talk about a GH72 partition whose specifications are very similar to the DGX GB200 NVL72 supercomputer. It is not specified how many GPUs, what type of GPUs or how much memory they will have, but there are minimum requirements, such as “180 GB of HBM3e memory or higher.” That rules out the H100 and H200, but models like the B200/GB200 would enter (MareNostrum 5 currently uses those) or the B300/GB300, in addition to others like the AMD Instinct MI350/MI355X, which according to market data could arrive with 256 GB of HBM3e memory. And soon, own chip. Yesterday, the BSC simultaneously announced good news about its efforts to develop its own chip. The so-called Cinco Ranch TC1 developed by the Barcelona Zettascale Lab has been validated and its experimental implementation it has been a success. We are looking at a chip based on RISC-V architecture and that uses Intel 3 3 nm manufacturing technology. It is a relatively modest chip that can operate at 1.25 GHz, but it is still a notable first step for the BSC to also continue advancing its role in semiconductor design. European supercomputers. This project is part of EuroHPC’s program to keep European supercomputing moving forward. Currently it has 12 supercomputers distributed throughout Europe, among which Jupiter (Germany, 4th in the world on the TOP500 list) and the future Alice Recoque (France), which will be consolidated as the first two exascale systems on the old continent.

Yesterday the news broke: the Government wants to prohibit that minors under 16 years of age have access to social networks. The proposal, which still has to go through Congress, would put in check what is probably the greatest use that this group gives to their cell phones. Will they then still want to have a smartphone? Regardless of whether this new regulation succeeds or at what age do we want to give him his first cell phonethere opens an alternative with a type of telephone that It still has a lot of use in 2026: what is known as ‘dumbphone’.

Not all, but that usually means having a physical keyboard and a very minimalist designsometimes like those flip phones from 20 years ago. Since they are easy to use and very basic, we tend to attribute them to older people. However, they gain strength in different contexts.

That makes this type of phone ideal for the little ones to have. a direct means of communication with their parents without having to have a smartphone or another source of distraction. But there is more. A smartphone is a double-edged sword. Yes, it is very useful because it can be used for everything. In return, we also run the risk of getting lost between applications, social networks and that tendency to scroll infinite in which we can fall easier than it seems. There the ‘dumbphone’ also shines as telephones that they make this ‘digital detox’ easier that It has been so fashionable for a few years now..

whether donating millions of euros is beneficial or not

by

Amancio Ortega is the eleventh greatest fortune in the world and, unquestionably, the richest man in Spain thanks to its two lucrative empires: Inditex and Pontegadea. However, in addition to his millionaire business profits, Amancio Ortega has also become popular for your donations. The millionaire injected 765.4 million into the foundation that bears his nameand donations valued at hundreds of millions of euros were channeled from it. This philanthropy was the center of a debate in which the enormous contribution to the well-being of the beneficiaries was put on the table, but also the fiscal compensations and an exercise of public image washing. A big jump in contributions. Amancio Ortega made an exceptional contribution to the Amancio Ortega Foundation. According to collected Digital Economythe businessman injected 765.4 million euros in 2025 to finance the entity’s activities until 2028. It is an amount much higher than that contributed in recent years, and marks a turning point in the size of the economic “cushion” with which the foundation works, which in your figures declared an investment in projects of 207.6 million euros in 2024. This money does not automatically translate into spending in a single year, but it does allow for the foundation’s involvement in larger programs and for a longer period of time. On its website, the foundation itself explains which has 541.8 million euros committed for the period 2025-2029. Where have those donations gone? An important part of these donations has been channeled towards healthcare, especially in the form of high-tech medical equipment and investments linked to public hospitals. A clear example is the National Hospital for Paraplegics of Toledo, which has received a donation of 11.24 million euros from the Leonese businessman’s foundation to execute up to ten projects related to facilities and works within the center itself. Without a doubt, the most ambitious project of Amancio Ortega’s foundation is the financing of ten proton therapy devices with a tender of 271 million euros started in 2021 and which will have valid until 2029. This latest technology equipment will be implemented in seven autonomous communities and allows for less invasive treatment of certain types of cancer, especially in cases of childhood cancer and difficult to access. In addition, the millionaire’s foundation financed the construction of seven new nursing homes in Galicia. For the moment they have built and delivered five of them to the Xunta de Galicia, and the objective is to complete the remaining ones in 2026. Direct aid in disasters. In 2025, one of the most notable donations was the one linked to the municipalities affected by DANA. It was an aid of 100 million euros, managed through 40 town councils, with the aim of supporting affected families and businesses. Here the mechanism was different from that used in the medical and socio-health projects. The urgency of the situation meant that, instead of signing an investment agreement with the administrations, the foundation delivered the funds to the different affected municipalities so that they could manage it by purchasing machinery for cleaning or to cover the most urgent needs of its population. Tax benefits, the darkest side. The other side of the debate focuses on the elephant in the room: donations to foundations have tax incentives, and this case is no exception. No matter how noble the motives behind these donations are, the shadow of interest in reducing your tax bill is evident, although also legal. In simple terms: whoever makes a donation can deduct part of that contribution from their taxes, with differences depending on whether they are an individual (IRPF) or a company (Corporate Tax). More than 97% of the capital of the Amancio Ortega Foundation comes from the contributions of its founder who, in turn, receives his income from the Inditex dividends and the benefits of Pontegadea. According to estimates of Publiconly with the financing of the proton therapy equipment, its benefactor obtained a tax benefit of between 108 and 123 million euros, since the legislation allows for tax relief between 35% and 40% of contributions. As Carlos Cruzado, president of the Gestha union of Treasury technicians, pointed out, “the tax benefit is still a public expense.” The real debate: philanthropy or paying taxes. In some ways, making such a significant donation means forcing the State to spend public money (in the form of uncollected taxes) on the investment. let an individual decide and that may not be strategic. On the one hand, there is the direct impact: hundreds of millions are put on the table available for social and health projects that might otherwise take longer to arrive. On the other hand, there is the fact that the project where the money is invested It is decided by a private donor, with his or her priorities and interests, not based on criteria of common interest. For society as a whole, was it more necessary to invest in this latest technology equipment or to hire more medical personnel for primary care? Should large donations be regulated differently to suit the general good, or should the donor’s discretion prevail? These are questions to which Spanish legislation has not yet provided an answer.

Moeve has a turnover of 1.8 billion euros. The Prosecutor’s Office asks to dissolve the company because, they claim, they did not pay 7.7 million in taxes

by

Now Cepsa is Moeve. And now it is Moeve who has to fight against an accusation from the Public Prosecutor’s Office for fraud in the payment of taxes. The court case has been dragging on since 2022 but has its origins almost a decade ago. Now, the Prosecutor’s Office is asking for 28 years in prison for its board, targeting three senior officials of the Canary Islands Tax Agency and, in addition, the dissolution of the company. What has happened? In short, the Prosecutor’s Office accuses Moeve of tax fraud in the Canary Islands. According to their investigations, the company would have stopped paying 7.7 million euros to the Treasury by passing off diesel fuel as fuel oil when paying taxes between 2016 and 2021. The change is substantial because the tax rate on fuel oil (€0.56/tonne) is much lower than that on diesel (€222/1,000 liters). They stand out in Motorpassion that diesel has a tax 400 times higher than the change of units and, from there, would come the 7.7 million euros that the company would have omitted when presenting its taxes. What does the Prosecutor’s Office ask for? The Prosecutor’s request is harsh: That criminal proceedings be opened against the company The dissolution of the company Fine of 13 million euros for the company 28 years in prison and more than 25 million euros in fines for the board Two-year disqualification for three senior officials of the Canary Islands Tax Agency How did the events happen? As described in Fuerteventura Diarythe Prosecutor’s Office maintains that between January 2016 and October 2021, the then Cepsa, through its subsidiary Petróleo de Canarias (Petrocan), settled the taxes by passing off diesel fuel as fuel oil with “a clear intention of defrauding” the regional Public Treasury. According to their calculations, the company would have stopped paying the following amounts: 2016: 781,295 euros 2017: 404,134 euros 2018: 1.4 million euros 2019: 2.3 million euros 2020: 1.6 million euros 2021: 1.2 million euros In all that time, the Prosecutor’s Office accuses the Canary Islands Tax Agency of ignoring the complaints that came to it from the oil company. And the company IR Maxoinversiones, which manages various local gas stations, already reported the events in 2019, repeated it, expanding the complaint in 2020, and some time later filed a third complaint. The officials indicated by the Prosecutor’s Office, however, did not file any measures to investigate the events. What does Moeve say? Company sources point to Xataka that “the case is appealed. We reject the accusation and we hope that the actions of justice confirm the correct application of the taxation carried out by Moeve to the product called Diesel Oil, for industrial use and not linked to the activity of service stations.” They explain that Diesel Oil is a much heavier product than the diesel that we can consume for the car, so its use can only be industrial to start a machine or power a heater. That is, the usual use given to fuel oil. Thus, they point out that their taxation has always adjusted to what the Treasury has demanded at all times and that they are not trying to pass the product off as what it is not in their accounts. Disproportionate? Although the Prosecutor’s accusations are on the table and they say they can support them with data, it remains to be seen what the resolution of the case is. The claims refer to an alleged evasion of 7.7 million euros over six years, a very small figure for a company that only in the first nine months of the year 2025 (latest data published) earned 472 million euros in net profits and invoiced more than 1.8 billion euros in 2024. Therefore, beyond proving that Moeve did not pay the taxes due, it will have to be demonstrated that this omission was made with the intention of enriching himself and not because of a mistake when filing taxes, an element that seems essential for a judge to order the dissolution of the company. a company with more than 11,000 employees.

Talking about Barcelona is talking about a city full of motorcycles. In fact, it leads the ranking with more than half a million registered motorcycleswell above Madrid. There is a type of motorcycle that is especially noisy and polluting, one that those of us who started out in the world of motorcycles started out with when we were minors: the motorcycle moped. 49cc. Barcelona has set out to put an end to him. 32,000 mopeds registered. The moped has several key differences from the traditional motorcycle. Teenagers from 15 years old can drive it. Your AM license is approved with a closed-circuit skill test It is not allowed to carry a passenger until they are 18 years old. Vehicles larger than 50cc cannot be driven or exceed 45km/h. By having such restrictive conditions regarding the engine, and minimizing the access barrier, mopeds are the most economical type of motorcycle that can be purchased. Of the 32,000 registered in Barcelona, ​​24,000 are combustion. The subsidy. The Government Commission has approved the bases for a new aid program aimed at replacing combustion mopeds with electric ones, with an initial budget of 15 million euros and with the aim of extending it until 2030. Concretizing. The aid will consist of a single amount of 600 euros, an amount that, according to the Ministry of Transport and Mobility, represents between 16% and 40% of the current cost of equivalent electric mopeds. The condition. To access this aid, it will be mandatory to scrap a combustion moped. With the aim of facilitating the process, the City Council has enabled the Serveis Municipals Barcelona depots, where scrapping can be carried out free of charge and the certificate necessary to apply for the subsidy can be obtained at the same time. And where do I load it?. The golden question when buying any electric vehicle is on the loadin a country of flats and rooms shared. An investment of three million euros is secured to create a battery exchange network, a program that will begin operating this year. The ultimate goal. The Barcelona City Council aims to incorporate up to 20,000 electric vehicles into its city, carrying out a practically complete replacement of each and every one of the gasoline mopeds that travel its streets.

After 20 years of works and 4,000 million euros, Asturians demand one last thing for the AVE: traveling with their dog

by

“Our dogs are family. They are not an extra suitcase, they are an essential part of the trip. Europe is already ahead of us by allowing dogs of all sizes on trains. Why can’t Renfe be just as modern and empathetic?” With these words and the support of more than 5,000 signatories, Isa Díaz Yusta, who promotes a petition on Change.org, summarizes the feelings of Renfe travelers in the north of the country as stated The New Spain. And the train company does not allow the access of dogs weighing more than 10 kg on the routes that go to Galicia, Asturias or the Basque Country. That impossibility has open a wound in northern Spain. The aforementioned request is not the only one. With almost 5,000 supports, another user of the same platform also has a petition open for Renfe to allow dogs weighing more than 10 kg to travel on these routes. “We can’t always drive or leave them with someone. Many of us need the train to go see family or for work, and leaving our colleagues behind is not an option,” says the promoter on this occasion. Arancha Gómez, again another Change.org user, asks that the possibility of carrying accompanying dogs be expanded on all lines operated by Renfe. It is the same thing that Laura Serena asks for, whose request has already been collected more than 26,000 signatures. I don’t have a driving license, so I depend entirely on public transportation. And, although I have been waiting for a change for years, Renfe only allows traveling with dogs weighing more than 10 kg on four routes. FOUR!!. The rest of the country remains inaccessible for those of us who travel with large dogs. Not without my dog Indeed, as noted in the last petition, Renfe only allows traveling with dogs weighing more than 10 kg on limited routes. Since the petition was launched, Renfe has been expanding the destinations in which you can travel accompanied by large dogs but, for now, the only AVE available are still the following: Madrid-Barcelona Madrid-Zaragoza Madrid-Alicante Madrid-Valencia Madrid-Seville Madrid-Málaga Madrid-Granada However, the company The possibility of traveling with dogs is not enabled between 10 and 40 kg on all high-speed and long-distance lines. On the contrary, dogs of this size and any other can ride on Cercanías trains. If we want to travel with a dog weighing less than 10 kg, Renfe allows us to do so on all AVE, long-distance, AVLO, medium-distance and metric gauge trains. Except in the latter, the pet can travel in a carrier that does not exceed 60x35x35 cm for a surcharge. On those trains that have places specifically reserved for dogs to travel, you can pay 35 euros so that the pet does not travel in the carrier. However, as we say, only on selected routes you can travel with dogs weighing more than 10 kg. In this case, it is mandatory to fill out a document discharging the company’s responsibilities and another to confirm that we are aware of the regulations. The dog will travel in the adjacent seat and this cannot be chosen because there are pre-established places for this purpose. Furthermore, in these cases, the company provides a travel kit and has a series of standards and recommendations that are summarized in this document. In the delivered kit there is a seat cover and a mat to place on the window seat. The dog must be on a leash of a maximum of 1.5 meters and with a muzzle. In all cases, only one pet is allowed per traveler, but in the particular case of dogs weighing more than 10 kg, no more than two pets are allowed per car on the same train. Furthermore, on the Madrid-Málaga and Madrid-Granada corridors, only one pet of this size is allowed per train. Asturian users, as we have seen, complain about this type of restrictions for a line that It opened in 2023 after 20 years of work (13 years late) and a investment of 4,000 million euros. Even on lines that do allow it, some travelers also complain that the purchasing process can be too complicated. They explain in the blog Pipperontour that not all trains on the enabled lines allow traveling with dogs and, furthermore, this possibility only appears to be added in the last step of the purchase process, which makes it difficult to get a ticket. To try to make everything clearer, Renfe has a space where all frequencies can be consulted that allow large dogs but the aforementioned blog states that this list is not always updated. To all of the above we must add that it is no coincidence that some of the popular petitions requested through the Change.org platform come from northern Spain. In one of them it is remembered that Gijón is one of the cities in our country with the most registered dogs and Asturias is the Autonomous Community with the most dogs per inhabitant of our country.
