Ukraine soldiers are starting to carry scissors. It is the only way to face Russia’s most lethal weapon

by

At the beginning of January the New York Times told which was no longer possible to hide in the Ukraine War. Before the brutality of the contest a technology had sneaked into Evade electronic war and enter the enemy field of both sides as I had not done before. The threat was destroying the lines, making attacks invisible and evading any attempt at interference. Now, that technology has become stronger and deadly in Russia: the optical fiber. The Russian offensive. I explained it a few hours ago BBC in a report. In the Ukrainian town of Rodynske, a few kilometers from Pokrovsk, the war has acquired an even more devastating dimension with the intensive use of 250 kg planning pumps and surveillance and attack drones. The recent impact of one of these projectiles devastated administrative and residential buildings, leaving behind a destruction landscape. Russian troops, unable to take Pokrovsk directly, have begun to surround it strategicallycutting supply routes through a siege that intensifies with every day. The immediate presence of Russian drones about Rodynske reveals that Moscow has advanced from the east, beyond the previously identified positions, displaying their weapons since recently captured areas. The unstoppable rise of fiber. Under that changing scenario, a technology has been perfected as the most feared weapon in the conflict: guided drones by fiber optic cable. Unlike traditional models, their physical connection with the controller makes them immune to electronic interference, one of the most important defensive pillars so far. Although slower and can be tangled (for example, in their passage through trees high), their ability to operate in closed environments, such as Inside buildingsand to stay hidden, each movement of Ukrainian soldiers converts into a possible death sentence. In that sense, Russia has taken the front in its implementation while Ukraine still tested themand although now tries to accelerate its production, the technological difference continues to incline the balance on the battlefield. Fiber cable anchored to a drone in Ukraine The front lines. This new type of threat has completely altered the dynamics of Ukrainian detachments. Soldiers as it is or came, from the 68th Jaeger battalion, They described the BBC How simple transfer to a position can be more lethal than direct combat. The pressure has forced the units to remain much longer in the trenches, without the possibility of rotation. Maksym, gunner of the 5th Assault Battalion, says that they could alternate every few days, but now there are those who take until 120 days in a row on the front. Fatigue, moisture, constant death and the impossibility of lowering the guard have redefined combat. Oses, chief of recognition, explained that Russian tactics have evolved towards small and mobile infiltrations: Motorcycles, quadrimotos, patrols of one or two men who penetrate enemy lines such as scattered pieces on a chess board. Pros and cons of fiber in war. Detailed it in a Interview for The War Zone Yas, a commander of the Ukrainian unmanned units (drones). Operate drones by fiber optic offers an essential tactical advantage: it allows silent control, without detectable emissions, and makes many electronic warfare systems obsolete. However, the system also presents limitations. Drone management It requires great expertisesince an inexperienced pilot can cause losses due to control failures or even unwanted explosions. In addition, the fiber cable can be easily broken or entangled, and technology itself is expensive and difficult to access (especially for Ukraine). Despite this, the success index of fiber drones to achieve and hit their goals Round 50%figure that clearly exceeds that of conventional radiofrequency drones. However, less than 5% of the Ukrainian drone park, According to Yascurrently uses this system, mainly due to the shortage of quality units and the saturation of local manufacturers, many of which, in the beginning, reversed Chinese components without fully understanding the operating requirements in combat. The asymmetric race. In that sense, Russian capacities are not only imposed by number, but by the speed with which Adapt solutions. Every time Ukraine changes frequency or introduces improvements, Moscow responds quickly, climbing his countermeasures in a coordinated way. He has done so with control channels and video transmission. In that context, fiber optic drones They represent a momentary tactical advantage window. Although in Ukraine ranges of 15 and up to 20 kilometers with drones of this type have already been reached, Russia operates models of up to 30 kilometers. Yas lamented to the environment that, except in the case of conventional drones, the Ukrainian State has not yet managed to establish A solid infrastructure of production and deployment for fiber optic drones. A gap that can determine the difference between maintaining defensive positions or losing strategic ground against the enemy. Endurance. In The BBCa Ukrainian soldier said that the fear of drones Invisible Because of the fiber he has led them to start carry scissors everywhere To cut the cables. Technology has already given enough episodes of authentic nightmare where drones have entered buildings chasing human objectives. Meanwhile, and although Russia has made important advances, the Total Take Donetsk It is still far from being an immediate reality. Ukraine continues to resist, but suffers the shortage of ammunition, the imperative need for weapons and a worrying lack of qualified personnel against a more numerous Russian army and with better institutionalized processes at the moment. Yas is clear: The future of the war of drones will depend not only on technology itself, but who is able to organize it and multiply it faster. Meanwhile, every drone that raises the flight with a fiber optic coil becomes a silent bet between life and death.

Machu Picchu has become a world tourist destination. Now face the unwanted consequence: die of success

by

Machu Picchu is one of the most popular icons in Peru, one of its greatest heritage treasures and a powerful magnet for tourists who only during the first two months of 2025 attracted more than 191,000 visitorsalmost 17% more than in 2024. For that reason, the Inca citadel of Cusco faces the same threat that looms over other large international destinations, such as Mount Fujithe monumental areas of Rome, Venice and Florence either The pyramids of Guiza, in Egypt, to cite only a handful of examples: tourist saturation. So They just warned The Peruvian authorities, who have launched a notice to navigators: the “tourist overload” of the Inca city threatens its conservation. What happened? That the Would control general Of the Republic, an autonomous body responsible for ensuring the assets and resources of Peru, has just made a warning to the country’s ministry of culture: Machu Picchu is suffering a “tourist overload.” The problem has been detected both in the old citadel and in the Inca road network (Qhapaq Ñan), he Road System of the Incas. After verifying the influx of visitors, the general control has come to the conclusion that there is an excess of tourists that puts “at risk” the conservation of both points and affects their “structure and ecosystem.” And if that message had not been clear enough, warns: To extend, that situation could lead to Machu Picchu ending in the World Heritage List in Danger of UNESCO, a risk that he already faced A few years ago. What is the problem? The Peruvian agency provides concrete data to support its complaints. Between April 17 and 30 of this year its operators detected “an overload” of 2,505 people on the upper terrace of the Inca city (Route 1-B). And it was not an isolated case. In May they estimate that this saturation will reach 1,546 users. What does that mean? That authorized maximum aguoros are repeatedly overcome in the protected space. “Although the sustainable access limit to said AES area of ​​450 people per day in regular or low season, the sale of tickets for daily income from 549 to 789 users was evidenced. And while in high season the limit is 490 people, access tickets of between 495 and 639 users were sold.” The key, They need From the control, although the state platform for the sale of tickets is respected the capacity of the upper terrace of the LlaqtaVisitors arrive on the road network. Is there more data? Yes. The agency has also detected a considerable “overload” of 836 visitors, on Route 5 of the Inca road network between April 17 and 30. In May the data will amount to 1,490. “Although the permitted capacity is 250 people per day, the sale of tickets for the entry of 300 users between tourists, guides and support personnel was evidence insist From the entity. In the case of the Route Route designedanother of the great tourist claims in the region, saturation reached 1,368 visitors during the last 13 days of April and set 1,248 people in May. The control even speaks of “errors in the sales platform” that “make it difficult to plan the number of visitors.” Why is it a worrying? Because that excess tourists can take its toll to the deposits. “These situations do not guarantee the conservation of the areas because the constant transit of visitors could cause the erosion of the soil in areas with pronounced slopes and nearby areas, as well as the compaction of the land due warns The entity. Something similar would happen on the route, where the technicians consider that the “overload” endangers the residential and ceremonial area for the wear of the stone. Is it something new? Yes. And no. The touch of attention of the control of the Ministry of Culture of Peru is new, but as it is responsible for remembering the body itself in Your official statement It is not the first time that the preservation of Machu Picchu generates debate. In 2017, UNESCO He examined the situation of the Inca citadel to decide whether or not to include it in the world heritage list. The problem, explained at that time from UNESCO, was not so much the state in which the sanctuary was, as the management of the “long -term” environment. “The difficulties are in the control of tourist flow in the area”, warned. E that occasion the Unesco chose not to register To Machu Picchu on his list, but he would control it, he remembers that this option could be on the table again. Is it a real risk? I would control it like this seems to believe it. In fact, he recalls that at the UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting held in July last year in New Delhi, the state of the Inca deposit was approached. “Concern about the state of conservation of the historical sanctuary was expressed in relation to several aspects, including the high number of daily visitors that has generated pressure on the structures and the natural environment of the site.” The truth is that Peru It has moved token so that his great tourist claim does not die of success. At the beginning of this year the authorities of Cusco and the headquarters of the Archaeological Park of Machu Picchu They announced that would reinforce the safety and control in access to the citadel after a field guard be convicted of accepting bribes to pass to tourists skipping the rules. To avoid repeating episodes thus Cusco promised to reinforce inspections by the police and install cameras. Machu Picchu is one of Peru’s great claims: only during the first two months of 2025 attracted More than 191,000 peoplepromoting national tourism to record figures.

Losing weight without losing muscle is the great challenge of drugs such as Ozempic. A protein keeps the key to face it

by

It is usual for us to often get news about hopeful scientific advances made in mice. These experiments always leave a question in the air, if the discovery can be applicable to humans. This does not always happen, but sometimes MITCH Silence the expression of a simple protein in our muscles can lead to weight loss and, more, more, It can allow us to lose weight Without putting our muscle mass at risk. The protein in question is called Mtch2 (Mithochondrial Carrier Homolog 2), but has been nicknamed “Mitch” by those who study the compound and its effects. The last analysis of this protein and its associated gene has observed that its “erased” in human cells causes in these lower efficiency Energy What is perhaps more important, this silenced causes cells to stop using carbohydrates as a priority energy source and in place they preferably use body fat. Different fuels. The cells of our body need energy and billions of years of evolution have given rise to a series of biological mechanisms that allow us to maintain a calorie reserve that allow us to feed these cells in times of greater shortage. These mechanisms imply that our cells can resort to different fuels according to the situation. While the carbohydrates we consume and the fats that we use as a reserve are the main fuel Ozempic. From mitones to mitochondria. According to Explain the responsible teamthe new study has its bases in a previous experiment conducted with mice that observed in the rodents an “improvement” in their body composition in the form of “protection” against obesity and the development of more muscle fibers. This accompanied by greater consumption of greater oxygen consumption and an increase in resistance. The results were promising but left the team with a doubt, if it would be possible to “inoculate” the body against obesity by silencing the expression of a protein without this negatively affecting muscle mass. To look for an answer, the team went on to focus on the role of the mitochondría, the organelle in charge of providing energy to the cell. The key is in the fact that the “mitch” protein plays an important role in the merger of the mitochondria, a fusion capable of increasing the efficiency of these organelles. By silencing protein, organelles would lose the ability to resort to this fusion which also implies less efficiency and thereby a greater need to consume energy resources of our body. It only remained to prove if this was also true in human cells. Less efficiency, more consumption. They thus verified that by silencing the protein in human cells, the “mitochondrial network” was undone and, as expected, energy efficiency fell. This left the cell in a “permanent state of energy deprivation.” And what is more, the team also found that this led to the cells to prioritize the use of fats as a primary energy source, instead of other possible sources such as carbohydrates. “After erasing Mitch, we examined, every few hours, the effect that it had in more than 100 substances that take part in the metabolism of human cells,” pointed in a press release Sabita Chourasia, co -author of the study. “We saw an increase in breathing, the process in which the cell produces energy from nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats. This explains the increase in muscle resistance of previous experiments in mice.” The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Journal embo. An intermediate step. The study takes an important step in the long process between the first results in animal models and the design of a treatment for weight loss based on what was learned. In following studies, the team intends to elucidate new aspects about Mitch’s role in the accumulation of fat in the body. The fact that women usually have higher levels of this protein can help researchers discover if Mitch is also responsible for the differentiation of fatty cells.

Xiaomi needs a new face

by

There was a time when Xiaomi could afford to be a sympathetic logo, almost toy. A funny nickname (“mi”), a simple aesthetic not to say Ramplona, ​​a spirit of accessibility and carefree. Okay. He was born as the brand that democratized the smartphone, The brand that competed in pricebut not in prestige. That time is over. In the Shanghai Motor Show it has been clear to us that Xiaomi no longer plays that game. With the Su7 ultraits first electric car in the upper version, Xiaomi changes its screws: it no longer competes by volume, competes by status. It does not seek to be the cheap alternative to Tesla. He wants to be the direct alternative. He even wants to overcome. The problem is that their brand, its visual architecture, their story, have not followed that jump of ambition. Today, Xiaomi sells mobiles of more than 1,500 euros. And it does it more and more often. It goes up to the podium of computational photography, of the design of noble materials, of functional luxury. And now he launches a car that, in finishes, technology and presence, rivals you with Porsche or Lucid. But continues to carry the same logo as when he did 200 euros phones that at three years ended in a drawer. It is not enough to change the product. You also have to change what the world sees, feels and projects about you. A brand is not just a name or an emblem. It is a silent promise, an unconscious expectation, a frame of reference. Today, the orange logo and the nice “Mi” continue to refer to the old Xiaomi. To that of shelves at ground in Medamarkt. No to the xiaomi that builds 500 horsepower, or Pulido Titanium Mobile. Not to the Xiaomi who wants to be a cultural and not just technological reference. That dissonance between what Xiaomi is and what seems to be is its greatest risk right now. Because brand coherence – that invisible red thread that joins product, perception and aspiration— It is essential when you want to play in the leagues where each nuance matterswhere each gesture counts. Apple was never just a logo. It was an aesthetic. A narrative. A visual discipline. A coherent language between hardware, software, packagingstores and communication. Xiaomi is reaching a product level capable of playing in that league. But the language of its beginnings continues. Keep asking respect with a teenager voice. And if it does not correct that lag, His ambition will collide with skepticism. Against a friction that is barely intuited today, but that can crystallize in a subtle but lethal distrust: that of those who admire the object, but does not finish believing the brand. The moment is now. Image: Xataka. It was not so important that the flagship on the hood of the ultra was gold and carbon fiber how to change its image. A superficial redesign is not enough. Xiaomi needs a new brand architecture: more sober, more refined, more deliberate. A brand capable of sustaining ultra -premium mobiles, electric shots, and whatever comes later without anyone blinking. Perhaps a double architecture – an accessible base xiaomi and a different submarine for the aspirational. Or perhaps a deep and unique evolution. But not remain the same. He already encouraged to transcend his original brand, but consolidating chaos instead of building clarity. The Ultra has not only shown that Xiaomi knows how to make extraordinary cars. Has demonstrated, above all, that It no longer makes sense to continue looking at Xiaomi as the usual brand. Now that Xiaomi also understands. And act accordingly.

This Chinese byd car looks at the face of many Europeans of 100,000 euros

by

Lombardy is all that one can expect from northern Italy. It is the most populous region in the country. The richest. A place where luxury, design and industry are mixed. Based in a single region the idyllic sunset in the lake as, where Swiss atmosphere is already breathed, the elegance of Armani, the great of Il duomo of Milan and the maximum representation of the latest technology with the monoplays of Formula 1 traveling at full speed the Monza circuit. It was not in Monza but in a circuit where Denza made us a first demonstration of what they have prepared for Europe. One of Byd’s luxury companies let us sit in his denza Z9GT, a kind of Shooting Brake Sports, exquisite dyes and a technological load that surprises. Unfortunately, we only stay in the Vairano circuit enclosure, between Milan and Pavia. At the moment, cars are not approved to circulate on European roads but will do it very soon. Despite this, it was a most interesting day. What is coming As We already told you a few days agoByd will bring to Europe one of its luxury brands. We could say that it is its premium brand, one step above byd (the generalist) and Yangwang (the most extreme luxury). But the truth is that, seen what was seen, he will denied more to what a Porsche can offer than an Audi, if we speak in terms of the Volkswagen group. The really complicated to denza, which was born as Fruit of a collaboration with Mercedesis to demonstrate that it can sit at the table of a Porsche which is a reference in the European car. His experience, his history and his product have elevated him to a very special position, conquering the wealthiest fans who could well buy a Ferrari but also to more modest pockets (within what fits) that aspire to take some Porsche to the mouth with the most modest versions of a Macan or a Cayenne. Everything indicates that he denies does not aspire, or from afar, to make a large volume of sales. It seems clear that it is about demonstrating to the skeptics where China is (and more specifically byd) in the car market. Technologies that surprise We are accustomed to luxury European manufacturers, those who choose to offer great performance, focus on the mechanical capacities of their propellers. The most powerful BMW and Mercedes, the Porsche of reference, all direct their speech to the latest innovations they have achieved with their combustion propuls. It seems to make sense seeing that electric cars seem to have been far from that luxury market in Europe Or, at least, they don’t have such a great attraction power. In China, however, it bets more on the most striking games. To show this article of Bloomberg in which the opinion of a wealthy driver who had been very disappointed because his Porsche Taycan “was only an electric Porsche” was collected. Hence it will jump to the local market. The public in China asks for other types of solutions. For example, the byd parking system. A chuchería that, honestly, I think it is useless for day to day but demonstrates how technically advanced the company. And this Z9GT denies is able to turn on its front axle rotating the butt (at the cost of burn tire) and park in line with, it is supposed to be greater. This same system called Enge Parking He uses it to move completely diagonally, a especially rare sensation when you go inside the car. The interesting thing is the real practical application that technology has here. The car has a tiper rear axle. That is, the rear wheels can be turned in the same direction as the front (to round the curve) or in the opposite direction, to reduce the radius of rotation and maneuver more easily. But, in addition, they do not have to turn to the right or left parallel. They may roll them use a convergent or divergent position. That is, they open or close on themselves and, therefore, the possibilities when parking multiply, allowing this option to rotate the car on the front axle or move diagonally. Without a doubt, the most interesting thing is to check how a car of almost 5.20 meters moves in very narrow spaces. In places where a compact of four and a half meters would need several maneuvers to get out of the quagmire. If it came out of it. This technology is combined with a body control exquisite. In our passes through the circuit we submit to the Chinese Berlina to different lands, with broken asphalt or with undulations. Especially in this last land, the car contained the body perfectly. Passing at good speed, we do not feel at any time that the situation would rise and that inertia and weights became the protagonists. That body control reached the extreme during one of the star tests of the day. A driver aboard a Z9GT denza was at the end of the track, accelerated with all his might and when he had overcome the 180 km/h, a deaf noise confirmed what had already advanced it with a small pink smoke: the tire had burst. What happened? Nothing. That is the most chilling. If a car bursts the tire at 180 km/h we can expect the body to move and the driver will lose control of the car shortly that the steering wheel touches to compensate for the puncture. None of this happened because the tire suspension system immediately compensates for the loss of support that the wheel exerts. With great detail As we say, we can say little about the car running. In fact, we don’t even have the technical specifications of the cars that will arrive because, in the absence of homologation, we get on cars with Chinese specifications. The z9gt denza is sold in electrical format but we We tried it in its plug -in hybrid version. It is a … Read more

If you do not build its Arizona chips factories, you will face tariffs up to 100%

Donald Trump Does not take care of your effort with TSMC. During the electoral campaign the current US president said on several occasions that he was determined to make the decisions that were appropriate so that the country that now governs Recover the leadership of the semiconductor industry. Untilly entered the 80s of the last century, it had some of the most robust companies in this sector, such as Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM or Motorola, but little by little it was giving control of a market that Now it is in Asia’s hands. TSMC currently has a global fee of approximately 60% and manufactures avant -garde chips for many US companies, such as Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom or Qualcomm, among others. This Taiwanese company has factories in the US, such as the Phoenix (Arizona) plant that is about to start the large -scale production of Integrated 5 nm circuits In the N4 lithographic node, but a good part of the semiconductors that he gives to their American clients leave their Taiwan plants. Donald Trump wants to end this strategy. This statement He did it on January 27, a few days after returning to the White House and starting his second presidency: “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; now we want you to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars Biden. Tariff up to 100% to TSMC are still on the table The stir that has triggered The tariff strategy of the US government throughout the planet during the last week is not precedents. But in terms of integrated circuits in general, already TSMC in particular, Donald Trump has not modified his least. The statement you have made Just a few hours ago during an event of the National Republican Committee of Congress, it places TSMC again in the Center for Care despite the planning to build several more plants in Arizona in the medium term. “If they do not build their plant here they will pay a great tax. Maybe 25%. Or 50%. Or 75%. Or even 100%” “I did not give TSMC money. It is a great company. The most powerful in the world. The largest chips company on the planet (…) is spending 200,000 million dollars in Arizona by building one of the largest plants in the world. All that without money (USA). All I did was: ‘If they do not build their plant here they will pay a large tax. Maybe 25%. Or 50%. Or 75%. Or even 100%“, Donald Trump has argued. It is evident that the goal of having forced TSMC is being pointed out to settle in Phoenix with the purpose of producing avant -garde chips in the US in the US in the US already manufactured to those already manufactured in Taiwan. Trump does not strive in the least to take care of forms. His statements, that of January and yesterday, threatenly threaten TSMC. As I mentioned a few lines above, the first plant of this company in Phoenix is ​​about to manufacture large -scale chips, but its plan does not end here. The second factory will be operational in 2028 and will produce integrated circuits in N3 (3 Nm) and N2 (2 Nm) nodes. And finally, the third factory will not be listed at all until the end of this decade and will produce chips in the N2 (2 nm) node. In addition, the TSMC production infrastructure in Arizona will have two advanced chip encapsulated facilities and an R&D center. At the current situation it is unlikely that this company renounces this project.

The contestants of ‘The island of temptations’ have made a new face after the program. It is a symptom of something else

by

This year, the island of temptations has become a viral phenomenon, and much of the prominence has fallen to a particular person: José Carlos Montoya. However, this edition has not only managed to be the most seen of all editions, According to Mediaset herselfbut it is also the edition where the aesthetic touch -ups of the contestants have attracted attention to the networks. Many touch -ups. In this edition, the program has had a total of seven couples. Although five initially entered, during the recording two more were added after the departure of others. As a result, we have seen 14 participants, many of whom, when leaving the realityhave decided to undergo various aesthetic treatments, Most in the same aesthetic centerranging from the use of botox and hyaluronic acid to rhinoplasties and lipotransferences. The most radical changes. Of all the casting, three have been the most commented due to the magnitude of their aesthetic changes: Álvaro Rubio, Tadeo Corrales and Guillermo Zamora, the latter a tempting. First, Álvaro has decided to perform a lipotransference, As the clinic shows in networkswhich consists of eliminating the fat from the abdomen and the flanks to transfer it to the buttocks. In addition, a Botox jaw and injected profile has been performed. It is followed by the case of Tadeo, who has undergone a total facial change. Unlike his classmates, he went to another professional, Who shared the process in networksmentioning the use of hyaluronic acid and neuromodulators. Finally, Guille, whoever was tempting hyaluronic acid has been applied, According to 20 minutes. Both Tadeo and Guille have been very questioned and viralized on social networks for the obvious change in their face. Revert the touch -ups. The case of Bayán al Masri and Stephany Pérez, who have decided to go together to remove the filling of their lips to replace it with a more modern technique, as they explained in their mtmad channel. For her part, the participant Alba García, the youngest in reality (21 years), I wanted to get Botox, but the doctor He has decided that would not be convenient due to muscle tension. A trend beyond reality. After Scrolle In social networks everything mentioned, this boom of aesthetic touch -ups is only a reflection of a greater trend: the exponential growth of aesthetic procedures among the youngest. In fact, according to an independent perception study promoted by the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine a 47% of the population It has undergone an aesthetic intervention. However, this affects both men and women and a study conducted by the same entity showed only women exceeded men by 2.2%. However, where is all this pressure from beauty standards? The aesthetic pressure. In Tiktok or Instagram there is a high number of Reels dedicated to aesthetic treatments. This social pressure and the obsession with self -image are fed by viral tendentials, such as extreme morning routines, Fixation by a perfect denture either the use of Gadgets To look better. It should be noted that it is spreading among men A beauty standard that women have been dragging for many years. On the other hand, these applications have ultra -up filters that have caused an increase in the demand for aesthetic surgeries. According to several studies, Constant access to retouched images generates a digital dysmorphia that drives young people to look for aesthetic medicine in replicating these unattainable standards. The debate is still open. From Telecinco himself They have asked To all contestants about the fact of becoming aesthetic touch -ups, the answer has been homogeneous: “Everyone does what they want with their body.” Here the question that would have to be done is that we are facing a generation that seeks to feel better with itself or in the face of a social pressure disguised as self -care.

This is the most face of Prime Video

For very different reasons, it has been on the table every time there has been talk of ‘Electric status‘, The Russo feature film for Netflix, its exorbitant budget of 320 million dollars, while comparing it to the two previous blockbusters of the platform,’ Red Alert ‘and’ The invisible agent But the second platform in importance and number of subscribers also has a lot to say in terms of large budgets: ‘The Tomorrow War‘ cost to prime video 200 million dollars. The truth is that it is not exactly the budget of the film, but what Amazon paid for it: ‘The war of tomorrow’ It was owned by Paramount, who conceived it to be released in cinemas. However, he did not see it clear with the arrival of the COVID, the closure of the rooms and the continued delay of multitude of premieres. Prime Video took the opportunity paying those 200 million for the exclusive distribution rights, and renamed him: he became the most watched film in the history of the platform, and even today is the most expensive of all those he has released. ‘The war of tomorrow’ is, properly speaking, a time travel film, although without paradoxes or complications. At present a group of travelers arrives in time since 2051 to deliver an urgent message: humanity is losing a world war against alien invaders. From the future, they require that soldiers and citizens of the present travel to help in the war. Thus begins a story that has more to do with ‘Space troops’ (without satire) than with ‘Back to the future’: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Stahovski and JK Simmons lead an attractive cast that gives luster to a few Set-Pieces of action shot with forcefulness And good taste.

Thousands of women are sleeping with a lot of masks and adhesive ribbons in the face: the boom of the "Morning Sheds"

by

The earth revolves around the sun and people around Tiktok, and where there is a trend there will be thousands of people repeating it. For a couple of months he has become fashionable all night with a lot of masks, patches and silk caps, among many more things. This trend has a name: Morning Sheds. A simple premise. There is an presupposition that when you leave a mask for longer, more effect does. However, this is not true. Each product has a certain duration that is usually detailed in the container itself, as well as expiration. In fact, dermatologists Beauty routines supportbut alert about risks to cover excess skin and use products without control. Thus a new viral phenomenon is born. According to Vogue magazine, already There are more of 75 million publications about Morning Sheds, And keep increasing. The objective of these people – mostly women – is to add to their facial ritual of the most cosmetics and gadgets nights. In Xataka Mercadona rejuvenation patches hide something else: the culmination of a long biotechnological career How much more better … There are many videos to analyze one by one, but among which We have been able to observe The same steps are always repeated. First of all, The night masks and patches for eye contour. After, he FACE TAPING, Adhesive ribbons that act as neuromodulators to “tighten” the skin. Third, the Mouth Taping, A tape that sticks in the mouth to encourage nasal breathing. It follows the curls without heat, thanks to the bandans, curlers or silk caps. Finally, as a species of gap and wraps with Cleaning oil for abdomen. The logic, if there is, behind this whole trend is that, how much more in contact is with the skin, the more effect it will do.

Someone used AI to overcome an interview on Amazon. His success has made Google see his candidates face to face

by

There is a thin line Between genius and deception. With the arrival of artificial intelligence, this line is fade even more and the scope of work interviews are a good example of this. A student exceeded a technical interview of Amazon helped with AI and his success has had consequences: someone gave him away to his university, he has created a company so that others use AI in their work interviews and Google will stop doing their work interviews remotely in the face of increased the use of AI by the candidates. The debate on whether the use of AI has been opened in a job interview It is cheating Or it is to use the tools at your fingertips to find a solution to the problem. Entrepreneur or cheater? According to published CNBCChungin “Roy” Lee is a 21 -year -old computer student at Columbia University who got some work interviews in large technological ones such as Amazon, Meta or Tiktok. During the remote technical interview with Amazon, the student used an AI tool that he had created with which he could easily answer the programming questions and tests asked for the Amazon recruiter. “Today, everyone program with the help of AI,” said the young student to CNBC. Technical tests are an essential requirement to access engineering positions in these large companies so the young man had no choice but to prepare conscientiously as can be checked on his profile of the website of the website Leetcode training. Such and As you collect Gizmodothat training was one of the hardest tasks that Lee faced. “It was one of the most unhappy experiences I’ve had programming. I felt that I had to do it. It was something I needed for a job in a large technological company, and there was so much to learn, so much to memorize, and so many random problems that I could wait for me to ask me. He made me hate the programming.” According to the student, the problems that arise in the interviews are very unlikely and more a “theater” approaches in which the interviewee pretends that he has never seen that problem, when in reality he has already studied and memorized his solution. “They are not representative of what you do as a programmer at work,” said the young man. To lighten this “technical procedure” the student used a tool he had developed to successfully overcome his interview with Amazon. The test result was a success and ended up receiving a job offer in the company, although the young man rejected it since the interview was only a way to test his tool. A video with the recorded test that hung on your YouTube account (now not available) and on the tool website are proof of this. Chivatazo and university file Days after his technical interview, Lee received a notification from the University of Columbia informing him of a disciplinary hearing that the teaching entity had opened to the second year student, as you can read in the letter that Roy Lee has published In his X profile. As published by Gizmodo, the University showed its rejection of the use of AI tools as “support” to these technical tests, which it considered as a trap. “Amazon has a long tradition of collaboration with Columbia Engineering … and we are deeply worried that situations like this occur. We trust Columbia will take the appropriate measures regarding this student and we hope to continue with this long collaboration,” says the university in its writing. The young man, far from being concerned about the measures undertaken by the entity, offers the tool so that other students and candidates can use it in their interviews. Face to face in technology Due to the increasingly frequent use of these AI tools during interviews, great technological ones are thinking about again doing these technical interviews in person. Such and As I pointed out Cnbc en One of the latest meetings of L sundar interviews in person. This request contrasts with the fact that, only a few months before, the own Google CEO admit That, thanks to AI, around 25% of the Google code was generated by artificial intelligence. The use of AI is increasingly present in selection processes. From the Use of candidate monitoring algorithms (ATS for the acronym in English of Applicant Tracking Systems), that They automatically select the curriculum of the most appropriate candidates, to methods of training for candidates Based on chatgpt or, like Roy Lee, the Use of AI during interviews remotely The use of AI tools in selection processes, especially by candidates, has opened A debate on social networks On whether this is a lack of ethics, or is as valid as any other tool with which you work daily. In this debate, there are those who see right to use these tools during the interview whenever it is done transparently, since it shows that the candidate has resources To find the solution to a problem. “I remember that once, more than a decade ago, I said in an interview: ‘I do not know that specific command, but there is Google for what we do not know.’ assures a user which raises an equivalence between the use of AI and the search engine. Others, on the other hand, ensure that the objective of these tests is precisely to check the programming skills. If it is altered using AI, loses its reason for being.
