fever

There is so much fever for the Xiaomi Yu7 that there are already those who pay more for buying one used than for a new one. And it makes sense

by

The fever by the Xiaomi Yu7 has reached its climax: it is already paid more for the electric SUV sold as a “used” than like a new car. The waiting list is so wide that the bubble has swollen to unsuspected limits. Not only is the mirror of an excessive demand. Used, yes, but more expensive. Specifically, about 2,400 euros. That is the area that those who aspire to have tomorrow (in China, of course) have to pay a Xiaomi Yu7 In the garage, according to Carnewschina. The specialized medium collects that there are up to 80 ads in vehicle sale stores where Xiaomi Yu7 is sold above the market price as new. Specifically, the profits is between 1,200 and 2,400 euros (depending on the version). The most coveted. Among the units that are sold, the most desired is the Max, which are generally offered with less than 100 km registered. Exit, The car had prices of 253,500 yuan (about 30,191 euros) for the Standard version, 279,900 yuan (33,335 euros) for the Pro version and 329,900 Yuanes (39,290 euros) for the MAX, the most powerful option. The more version has 101.7 kWh battery but it is not the option with greater autonomy. This is reserved for the Standard option which also has a huge battery (96.3 kWh capacity) but its power is lower, registering lower consumption. That, precisely, is the most attractive of the Xiaomi Yu7 Max, a car with an autonomy of 770 kilometers (according to the Optimistic Chinese homologation cycle) and a rapid power of 690 hp, an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 3.23 seconds and a maximum speed of 253 km/h. A business. That is, the most expensive option is registering overprices of about 2,400 euros. Or, what is the same, about 6% about its purchase price. It does not seem excessive but it is a pinch for those who made one of the company’s first reserves and want to do business or prefer the money to the car. But those who, of course, are doing business are concessionaires. They point in the Chinese environment to which a good part of the Xiaomi Yu7 overcrowded with respect to their output rate are concession automation. That is, these companies are playing with the usual margin and, right now, selling them more expensive than the company itself. Endless. The trend responds to the wide waiting list that Xiaomi faces when selling its cars. The fever for the electric SUV, the company’s second car, has led the brand to stop the reserves since the delivery of them has shot until 60 weeks in its Standard version. That is, about a year and two months. Pro and Max options offer better waiting times. But not much better. For the Xioami Yu7 Pro you have to wait between 49 and 52 weeks and for the Max between 39 and 42 weeks. That is, the delivery of the Xiaomi Yu7 Max has been almost 10 months. All this is a consequence of A wave of excessive reservations In the first hours. Before finishing the day of the presentation, Xiaomi registered 248,000 reservations in 18 hours. Of these, 200,000 were recorded alone In the first three minutes in which the page was open. Dragging the company. In Carnewschina They echoed another striking movement. The Xiaomi Su7 Yay had a really long waiting list but after relieving it slightly, the electric Berlina has re -delayed its delivery times. The company has decided to dedicate part of the current Berlin line to produce the electric SUV to try to balance the wait between both models. Again, the price of the Xiaomi Su7 was shot again in the second -hand market. To the point that the Su7 ultrathe most radical option rose up to 15,000 euros above of its rate price. Of course, there is no possible comparison with Yu7 because the latter has not yet announced a similar version. The risk. The greatest risk that Xiaomi faces is very evident: the tired of the client. China is the country where more electric cars are bought but also where competition is greater and The renewal time of the models is shorter. If Xiaomi fails to lighten the waiting list, it runs the risk of Your car is slightly obsolete In relation to the rest of the market and customers begin to flee to other brands. To solve it, the company works for forced marches to expand its factory for electric cars. For the moment It already has two factories dedicated (one to each product although, as we have seen, that of the Xiaomi Su7 is also giving way to some SUV units) And you have another in progresswith the aim of being able to serve a demand that has the company completely overwhelmed.

What’s behind the fever to cool food so that it fattens less

by

Something is changing in the kitchens, and I’m not talking about The arrival of the Cosori. Rather, those small, apparently insignificant decisions, which take shape between common foods. It is no longer enough to choose between integral or white rice, between mother’s bread or industrial slices. Now, the debate moves to temperature: have you cooled rice? Have you saved that pizza to reheat tomorrow? What looks like a more domestic mania is, in fact, part of a silent revolution driven from social networks and backed – at least in part – by science: that of resistant starch. From networks to the large intestine. The story begins in social networks and other corners of the influencer universe. They appear Videos cooling and overheating rice bowls and even ensuring that a pizza involved in the fridge becomes “healthy”. Everything is summarized in a promise: less glucose, less calories, more health. Resistant starch? Let’s enter into matter so that it can be understood well. The starch It is a chain of molecules of glucose that some plants store as a source of energy. There are different ways of organizing those chains, and according to their structure – more or less accessible to our digestive enzymes – the body may digest it or not. When foods rich in starch are cooked (such as pasta, potatoes or rice), heat causes a process called gelatinization: chains are messy and become more digestible. But if they get cooled later, part of those chains are reorganized in a new, more compact and difficult to break for our enzymes. That process is called retrogradation, and the resulting product is resistant starch. This “reborn” starch reaches the large intestine without being absorbed. There it is fermented by the microbiota, producing beneficial compounds such as butyrate, a fundamental fatty acid for intestinal health, According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). Butirate not only feeds the intestine cells, it also protects the mucosa and can help prevent diseases such as colon cancer. Is it really beneficial? Science partially supports enthusiasm. According to Cleveland Clinicresistant starch behaves similar to fiber: it helps maintain intestinal health, improves the composition of the microbiota and helps to regulate blood glucose. You have to differentiate in four types: Type 1: Present in legumes, whole grains and seeds. Its cell structure makes it inaccessible during digestion. Type 2: It is found in raw foods such as green banana or potato without cooking. Type 3: It is the one that forms when cooking and then cooling foods rich in starch (such as rice, pasta, bread or potato). Type 4: It is a chemically modified starch, present in processed products. According to A meta -analysis cited in Scientedirectthese effects are more notable in types 1 and 2 of resistant starch (those present naturally in green legumes and bananas). Type 3, which is formed by cooling cooked foods, also seems to have benefits, although somewhat more modest. It is not the philosopher’s diet. From Cleveland Clinic They have explained That resistant starch acts similarly to the fiber: it improves the microbiota, it can help regulate blood sugar and have positive effects on the immune system. However, There is no solid evidence that alone it helps to lose weight or reduce appetite, although it may have a light satious effect. There may be risks. The part that does not always appear in the networks of networks is that cooling foods such as rice or potato can have microbiological risks if it is not done correctly. Specifically, the Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that survives cooking and produces toxins in food that spend a lot of time at room temperature after being cooked. In a report from El País They have warned that the heating and cooling cycles – just those promoted to generate resistant starch – are perfect for this bacteria to activate. Basic recommendations: Cools food in less than an hour. Store it in the fridge and consume it at 24-48 hours. Reheat only once already high temperature. Never leave it several hours at room temperature. In search of a balance. Is it worth eating more resistant starch? Science says yes, especially when it comes from integral foods, legumes, firm bananas or well -manipulated tubers. It has effects similar to fiber, helps microbiota and can be part of healthy eating. Will you magically convert a pizza into salad? No. like We have explained in this mediumthe real effect on health is minimal if it is not accompanied by a context of healthy habits. The total diet and your lifestyle continue to weigh much more than a cycle of cold and heat on a plate of rice. It may not be a revolution, but a track of where part of the current interest in food moves: look for more fiber, more microbiota, more glycemic control … and less ultrazúcar disguised. The resistant starch, by itself, will not convert ultraprocessed dishes into healthy or to replace a balanced diet, but can add – like so many other small decisions – to a more conscious way to eat.

A lysergic trip to the byd fever in China

by

When I wanted to realize, two women were making selfies by my side. They were looking for, without dissimulation, the best way to frame me next to them. They did not, of course, for my beauty. I don’t believe it, at least. It is much more likely that the last thing to be expected to meet when they accepted byd’s invitation to attend the ceremony that the unit celebrated 1,000,000 Dolphin Surf It was seeing a group of European journalists. We were there to know some of the Latest Innovations of the Company But also cover what is his first great milestone. On his way to climb to be “one of the three major car manufacturers in the next five years”, Byd has put on the street a million units of the units of the Byd Seagull. Or, as we know him in Europe, Byd Dolphin Surf. A figure that they have reached in just 27 months and for which they had a great party prepared. Accompany me on this trip to the heart of the byd fever in China. A sometimes lysergic trip, sometimes incomprehensible and, of course, totally different from what we can expect from a European manufacturer. Lost among the metadata of a mobile to know who Byd had promised us that we would know the Xi’an factory. Considered the largest vehicle production plant in the world (according to the brand maturely 13.3 million square meters), the immensity seemed even greater with all the lines stopped. “On Sunday, you don’t work,” explain the workers of the company itself. Although they also pointed out that everything depends on demand and market requirements. It seems that in China, as in any other part of the world, the market sends. In fact, according to Reutersit seems that the company is going through a momentary break, raising the foot of the accelerator. Be that as it may, there I was in the middle of an empty plant that only filled the screams of a good handful of fans of the brand, attending how my face was immortalized in the memory of a folding phone of Huawei and a second mobile from Xiaomi. Someday, I imagine, the two women will no longer wear those two white shirts with bright letters in which it reads Super Seagull and they will ask with the same strangeness as who I was that kid of the screen. Clients invited by byd to celebrate the 1,000,000 unit of the Dolphin Surf Behind us, a handful of Byd Dolphin Surf on the light line, where the body defects are checked, and a sign in which it was indicated that we were before unit 1,000,000. A little over two years ago, this car or existed. Now, A group of enthusiasts They are the cornerstone of a party that would have its peak in a convention hall in the city of Xi’an. There we would arrive later, aboard a dolphin surf with which We tried your eye from Godthe most advanced autonomous driving system that, yes, for this car is limited to highways. What we found when we got off was a real party of brand enthusiasts. The entrance to the enclosure was guarded by more than a dozen personalized cars. They were vehicles from the clients who had wanted to contribute their grain of sand. Had returned to two thousand tunneros from Spain. But in Chinese slope. Byd Dolphin Surf of a brand client Byd Dolphin Surf from another client That is, in format Cute or eminently Friki. With some Byd Seagull/Dolphin Surf painted like a racing car, with its vinyl, its multicolored paint and a great presence of black and red. Toyo wheels with the registration painted on the side of them. A good spoiler in the back. But also a pink and blue unit in pastel tones. Easily questionable combination. Like the unit with dozens of Labubus tied in the trunk of the car with a chain in the purest skin shelter style of El Corte Inglés. Later, among the screams of the attendees claiming theirs would find out what this doll is It has also become fashionable in Spain. Swirling among cars, customers and brand fans. And influencers, of course. Influencers showing the event in the purest style of Chinese streamers that a couple of years ago They gathered on the bass of a bridge. Surprise, in fact, how easy it is to see a streamer on the street telling live God knows what. A crazy celebration That same was wondering that night. We had an hour and fifteen minutes of gala for when I made the decision to leave the living room for a moment to go to the bathroom. I had been delaying the inevitable for a while and after 75 minutes of talk in which the maximum responsible for the vehicle told their experience I understood that there was still a good time sitting there. I decided After the second musical issue. It was then, with the appearance of a group tributed to The Who that seemed taken from a parody of El Terrat, when I left the room. It was the second time that those singers, all of them from a Byd Dolphin Surf, appeared on the scene to encourage attendees. We were, of course, in the intermediate. Those who did not rest were the two influencers that, live in the immensity of the Hall of the Convention Center, showed on the screen what seemed like a kind of Teleth of Byd accessories. I don’t know how many would be following the event live, but surely one of them was inside. I checked it on my return. While attendees stirred colored sticks in a dark lounge singing and Dancing to the rhythm of seventies hymns and eighties of, Mies neighboring seats looked moved the screens of their mobile phones. There they were, at the same party that continued with great interest in a panel of less than seven inches. The lights … Read more

In Brazil there is a fever for babies. The problem is that they are so real that people are confusing them

by

The story began as a harmless content in Tiktok, one that quickly climbed to became a national issue in Brazil. A young woman He published a video In which he pretended to take his “baby” Bento to the hospital: he prepared his backpack, lying it in the car, weighed it, gave him the bottle and cleaned his cheek. More than 16 million people saw that scene, but few realized that he was not a baby, it was A Reborn doll. Political chaos. I told this week The Guardian. While Jair Bolsonaro faces a trial for I attempt at once of state and the current president Lula is going through The worst moment of popularity of his third term, the focus of wide sectors of the Brazilian public debate It has diverted Towards an unusual phenomenon: Reborn dolls. We talk about figures Baby hyperrealistscollected and made by thousands of people (mostly women) in Brazil for decades, who have suddenly become white of viral teasingviolent threats and an unusual legislative wave. Laws against dolls. According to The New York Timescurrently there are at least 30 legislative projects presented in Brazil to prevent Reborn dolls from accessing public services such as health or education. Legislators on the right, especially in the state of Amazonas, have even taken Dolls to Parliament claiming that some women are trying to obtain public benefits with them, (although there is no evidence to support it). In a turn of the events that approaches a dystopia, one of the drivers even asked if the next step would be to castrate “Reborn dolls” in veterinarians. Stigmatization As a mockery, the official account of the city of Curitiba warned To the “Mothers Reborn” that their dolls do not give the right to use yellow seats reserved for pregnant women on buses. In contrast, the Municipal Council of Rio de Janeiro proposed to establish On September 4 as the day of the storker Reborn to honor the artists who manufacture them, although the mayor He vetoed the measure on the argument that “this is not happening.” To put things in order, or almost, According to the UOL mediait has only been documented A real case of a woman with a psychiatric disorder who tried to enter a hospital with a doll, which shows that most bills are based on viral fictions. Vinyl body kit From Tiktok to Congress. As we said at the beginning, it all started with a series of virals in networks where a collector had called “Crazy” for taking his doll to a mall. Then, another clip showed a doll being Attended in a hospitalas part of a role -playing game. Although the author of the video clarified that it was A dramatizationthe content was replicated alarmistly as if it were real. From there, social networks exploded with teasing, threats and a torrent of indignation aimed at the so -called “mams reborn.” The controversy reached a disturbing point on June 6, when a man assaulted a real baby four months on public roads by confusing it with one of these dolls. The aggressor was released on bail and the baby is out of danger, but the fact illustrates the climate of hysteria unleashed. Disguised misogyny. What at first glance seems like a lower controversy over eccentric hobbies hides a darker background: the pathologization of female entertainment. It counted at the Guardian The sociologist and political scientist Isabela Kalil, professor at the FESPSP, who warns that while adult men can collect action figures or spend hours in front of video games without raising suspicions, women who interact with hyperrealistic dolls are quickly tildos of unbalanced. The artist Larissa Vedolinknown as Emily Reborn In networks, he has received death threats daily for sharing his creations. “They write to me from anonymous accounts who are looking forward to finding me on the street with a weapon,” He recounts. Vedolin, like many other creators and collectors, defends that the Reborn are not toys, but works of art. Some may take weeks to complete and reach prices of up to 3,000 eurosdepending on the level of detail, such as the width hair implant. Social reflection. He Youtuber Chico Barneywho recorded a collector event in São Paulo for Your documentary Reborn Babies Don’t Cry, He pointed out With surprise the normality of the meeting: “It was only a group of people sharing an interest, with nothing eccentric.” But that contrast between the reality of the phenomenon and the viral narrative highlights a frequent dynamic in contemporary digital culture: the constant search for a target for collective hatred. Kalil summarized it rarely: the fury is not based on real events, but on a need for channel social anxiety through symbolic objects. “This case has served to project contempt, mockery and aggression against women who deviate minimally from conventional expectations,” affirms. Ancient practice. The Times remembered that Reborn dolls exist Since the 90s and his interest is not limited to Brazil. In the United States, Dave Stack, founder of Reborns (an online sales platform) ensures that sales have grown up constantly: 10 dolls a day five years ago between 40 and 60 currently. Prices range Between 200 and 250 dollars For vinyl models, and up to more than 4,000 for limited editions of soft silicone. Among its buyers there are mothers who They have lost childrencenters for patients with dementia, lawyers who use them in judgments, creators for film and television, and mainly people who “simply love babies.” Some clients even take them to medical consultationsThey feed them with porridge or photograph them with Santa Claus. A hysteria as radiography. In summary, the Reborn phenomenon in Brazil has become the closest thing to A mirror of collective anxiety, normalized misogyny and the excessive influence of social networks in political discourse. What is essence is a form of artistic expression or an emotional refuge has been transformed in whitewashing, legislation and polarization. The episode reveals not only the ease with which a moral panic is generated, but … Read more

Netflix has left the fever by the Korean series: they are drowning in their own money

by

Although they have not yet arrived in the mainstream As they have done, for example, The Turkish soapsKorean fictions are followed by millions of people worldwide and have transcended the borders of Asian countries. Netflix is ​​to blameand has led to South Korea to be known for much more diverse and varied productions than the one that remains its greatest success, ‘the squid game’. However, Netflix machinery He also has his dark side and has been about to crack the solid bases of the genre. Korean explosion. In recent years, Korean or K-Drams fictions have experienced unprecedented growth. Netflix has been a key actor in this phenomenon, positioning the South Korean content as The second most watched globallyonly behind American productions. Since 2023, K-Drams are between 8% and 9% of the total visualization hours in Netflix, highlighting titles such as ‘The Squid’s game’, but also ‘The Queen of Tears’, ‘Crash Landing on You’ or ‘Love at the door next door.’ Cloud expenses. Netflix investment in Korean products It is very important: More than half of the popular Korean titles on the platform are originals of Netflix herself, and about a third are exclusive, many of them made in collaboration with local studies. However, The costs have shot: At present, the average price per episode is about $ 700,000, arriving in some cases, such as ‘the squid game’, to exceed two million dollars per episode, more than double what they cost in 2020, and much more than they cost before the arrival of Netflix (about 200,000 dollars). Success series such as ‘If life gives you mandarins’ cost more than 40 million dollars per season. In Xataka Netflix’s best Korean series (because not everything is ‘the squid game’) Fall in production. The consequences that Netflix, a powerful platform and with financial muscle, has multiplied costs to generate luxurious and interesting productions for the international public are multiple. On the one hand, production has fallen, especially the one that comes from medium -sized companies and produced by traditional Korean channels: From 141 in 2022 to 123 in 2023 already just 100 in 2024. A pressure has also been generated so that the series are more expensive, which has multiplied the number of blockbustersbut it has reduced the average productions. The superstars. The architects of the Korean series know that the deals are often the authentic causing causes a series to succeed, which leads to a good part of the budgets to be invested in the protagonists, which can come to charge around 500,000 dollars per episode. One of the decisions that Netflix has taken to stop is climbing in the series budgets that can make the industry crackimitate the salaries of the actorswhich has set 400 million WON (just under $ 300,000) per episode. {“Videid”: “x850eq5”, “Autoplay”: false, “Title”: “The game of the squid”, “Tag”: “The game of the squid”, “Duration”: “476”} Goodbye to risk. The Korean fiction industry is at a key moment, where it is continually discussed between profitability and quality. The increase in budgets has raised expectations on the series, but has also increased financial risk, to the point that, unlike the situation before the arrival of Netflix, The series need to be global successes To recover the investment. This entails an added danger: to greater financial risk, less taste for risk, more will tend to be conservative, to embrace proven success formulas. What can make the Korean series lose one of their indisputable strengths for the global public: the ability to surprise. Has Netflix charged the Korean fiction industry? Of course, it has immersed it in a dynamic of inflated budgets and the need for show that at the moment, it is affecting medium, authentic mortar productions that give solidity to the industry with volume and stability. Korea has a clear benchmark to not look for mistakes: Hollywood, plunged into a creative crisis and an elephantiasis in the productions that question its near future. For now, the South Korean industry has a margin to react. If Netflix allows it.

The motorcycle fever of the 2,000 has brought to the absurd the price of the second hand. There are more expensive than 20 years ago

by

The price of second -hand cars It has been triggered for yearsand it is more than usual to find models that cost more today than new four or five years ago. It is a sector that is not alone. The second -hand motorcycle is more expensive than everand it is not necessary to point to especially exclusive editions. Some are selling at exorbitant prices, although with a certain trick. The lucky one. The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade It is one of the icons of the sports motorcycle. Even more in its Repsol version, painted with the colors of the MotoGP team. It was an especially expensive motorcycle, that was sold for 11,799 dollarsabout 14,000 euros in Spain. Inflation has made its own and, 20 years later, this model is sold (the current CBR1000RR-R Fireblade) is sold for 25,500 euros, a price in the line of what the great Japanese manufacturers ask for for their supercar. The price. The revaluation of a unit in perfect condition of this Honda is shocking. One of them was sold in the London Motorcycle Show for 22,000 pounds, just over 26,000 euros to change. In Motorpasion Moto They echo a second unit, with an estimated price of between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds, waiting for a new owner. He never started. To achieve these figures that exceed the original price, some requirements must be met, some of them especially complex. These units are sold as an old concessionaire stock: they have never been started, conducted or enrolled. They are motorcycles with 20 years on their backs, but without use. It’s not just nostalgia. The fever for the 2,000 superbikes is real, and there is nothing more to see the revaluation of most models in Platforms such as Milanuncios. Motorcycles of 20 years ago with prices that touch the 10,000 euros if the unit is in excellent condition and with “few” kilometers. They are motorcycles specially oriented to circuit, they do not have electronics or the restrictions on emissions of current models, and are seen as authentic candies to enjoy driving in their purest state. Beyond the sports motorcycle. Finding second -hand units almost at the same price as new units is not something exclusive to the supercar motorcycle. According to Anesdor datathe average price of the general motorcycle has risen 30% in the last five years. And, to a higher displacement, greater increase in the price. Despite the slightest attraction in the occasion market, in Spain two occasion motorcycles are sold for each new motorcycle, with an annual growth trend that is around 5% year -on -year.

There is a fever to see the weddings of others in social networks. And that is causing them to throw rice shovels to the bride and groom

by

As always, fashion is not new but social networks bring it in the fore. In recent weeks, very particular wedding videos flood Tiktok and Instagram. In them, the old habit of throwing some stab of rice to the bride and groom is being replaced by throwing dozens of kilos of rice with the help of shovels. A maximization of The old customs that has a simple explanation beyond that everything is worth in order to create viral content: the spectacularization of weddings. More rice. Already in 2023 we read that In Galicia The guests had launched 200 kilos of rice to the bride and groom with blades and wheelbarrow. And last year, also in Galicia, a wedding was viralized in which The bride and groom were buried in confetti. Broak rice and confetti mixture had A recent wedding with the virtually indistinguishable boyfriends under a hell of paper and cereal. AND The most viral and next time It has been that of a couple who has also been buried under kilos of rice thrown with blades towards them. The impact on networks of the latter has been impressive: 35,000 I like and almost 5,000 comments record the importance of networks in the spread of these phenomena. Weddings: more and better. The progressive spectacularization of weddings is something that is in the same nature: since the nineteenth century, real weddings consolidated alliances and exhibited institutional power, and it is something that has not stopped seeing since then. The advent of social networks and the possibility of making everyone have our moment of glory, with thousands of people attending from the other side of the screen to the links if the hook is striking enough, has turned the weddings into events where everything is calculated to imitate those of the celebrities and nobles, who remain the mirror in which to look (at least, the mirror of a high percentage of people They decide to organize a wedding). More show, more price. In 2023 we talked How the price of a wedding had shot in recent years, already around 20,000 euros. To that amount we must add the honeymoon, and all this in a country, Spain, where the average salary is lower than that of other countries that entered this comparison. An amount where dress and accessories of the bride, photos and video, music, groom suit, organization, flowers … This does not make more weddings: after the pandemic: after the pandemic: after the pandemic There was a very remarkable rebound of the quantity, with a zipper of 20’5%, but in 2023 it descended again until it was similar to previous years. But although there is no more, they are more visible. Tatus and crazy cotillion. The thing goes furtherbecause this spectacularization in search of the most shocking or more glamorous wedding includes “syringes” with sucksneons, makeup kiosks, Thematic tattoos… what is known as a Glitter barwhere the least daring can opt, if it is not a tattoo, for a less permanent makeup. And everything often often oriented to provide good performance in social networks. Weddings keep liking. Weddings are still a notorious care center for a high number of people who come to social networks (primarily, women) to see foreign weddings. Influencers Like Ale Navas, Carla Vico or Claudia Jiménez They have recently married And the process in their networks, with millions of followers and covering from the hand request to the boyfriend’s trip, have broadcast with great detail. They are the mirror in which couples looking for dream weddings comparable to those of these are looked Influencers. The success of dating programs such as ‘Love Is Blind’ in Netflix, whose center are blind weddings, are the proof that weddings continue to generate interest. The cm of the wedding. But not just Influencers They monopolize the interest of weddings in social networks. Everyone wants to turn their wedding into something memorable or viralizable, and thus arise professions like him Wedding Social Manager (a cm focused exclusively on the wedding) or, as usual in the weddings of Influencerscontent creation (videos, photos, ReelsStories, moments when boyfriends and guests replicate memes in vogue) expressly thought for networks. Behind it there is a Spectacularization of the ceremony and the party whose ultimate goal is to look like Influencers successful … and something else. The wedding as show. Becoming a wedding into a spectacular party is also an incentive for boyfriends and guests, which perhaps consider the wedding of their friends or cousins ​​if they cannot talk about it in networks for months. Hence the content is favored Instagrameable of the wedding (the tatus, the avalanches of rice) in the face of more traditional issues (more classic photos and videosbut that cannot be shared). Our Devotion for gossip Do the rest: we love to frequent social networks to comment on the bride’s dress, something we have been doing since the heart press exists. But now we can carry it out putting people as conventional as oneself.

Ghibli’s fever has forced Openai to adopt an unprecedented measure: add water mark

by

He Viral phenomenon of the images generated by chatgpt that I mimic those of Studio Ghibli It has apparently caused an interesting reaction from OpenAI. One with which to avoid major evils. Water marks. The company is preparing the inclusion of water brands in the images it generates Your new AI modelImagegen. As indicated in Bleeping Computer, a researcher named Tibor Blaho He has found References to these water marks in the Android application of Chatgpt. They already did it with texts generated by AI. OpenAi has already raised long ago Your own system to integrate water marks into the texts generated by AI. Now it seems to be preparing something similar for its deployment in an image generator that is precisely becoming a successful tool for Capture a lot of new users. An idea with a lot of future. We have been talking about the efforts from various companies to create some type of standardized water brand. He C2PA standardthat among other things has been supported by OpenAIit is the one that is gradually gaining ground. This discovery in the Android of Chatgpt reveals that intention to implement it natively by generating any image from the OpenAi chatbot. Pay to avoid water brand? In Bleeping Computer they indicate how sources close to OpenAi talk about two types of images of AI: Water marks will be in the images generated with grauite accounts, but chatgpt plus subscribers can save them without water mark. It is something similar to what happens with image banks that have free images without water marks and others that do and that force to pay to remove them. A measure to avoid demands. The ability to create images that imitate those of Studio Chibli has unleashed a viral fever for this Openai tool, but that also raises potential judicial actions. Copyright is still a controversial element of everything that surrounds AI models, and water brands would at least serve to it conform their origin and avoid legal demands. The debate on fair use and copyright. In Your appendix On risks of use of GPT-4O and its image of the images, OpenAi mentions that the tool can be used to create images “that look like the aesthetics of some artists.” She and others They grab the concept of “fair use” of those tools when training them and generating images. However, the thin line that separates that fair use from a Copyright violation It is increasingly tense, and the risk is clear.

The most valuable company in the world has no interest in investing in data centers fever

by

Big tech are investing Absolute fortunes in data centers. Almost all seem to be prepared to meet the colossal demand for computing capacity for AI tasks. And yet, there is a curious and surprising exception. Money, money and more money. In recent days, several large technology have announced their investment plans by 2025. In all cases astronomical budgets for the construction of data centers for AI: Microsoft were announced: Microsoft He spoke of 80,000 million dollars, Google of 75,000Goal of 65,000 And at the end of the week Amazon exceeded all those figures and promised to invest 100,000 million dollars In this area. To get a slight idea of ​​what that figure supposes, a comparison: GDP Bulgaria was of 102,407 million dollars in 2023 (that of Spain, 1.62 billion). Apple. However, in Apple things are very different, and their capex planned for 2025 will remain almost flat compared to 2024 and will be 12,000 million dollars. It is a remarkable figure, of course, but is far from its competitors in the field of AI. And it is the one that has the most money. It is also interesting to compare the investment that these companies will make regarding their Market capitalization. Amazon is the strongest bet here: its capex is 4.12% its current market capitalization, followed by Meta and Google. Microsoft is somewhat more cautious (2.63%), but it surprises again that Apple, which is the world’s first company for market capitalization, has a capex of only 0.35% of all its value. Wall Street rules. The decisions of these companies seem to be very influenced by the behavior of stock markets. The presentation of financial results and short -term forecasts has caused a kind of contagious effect: if we do not invest a money in data centers, shareholders are going to punish us a lot, they seem to have said the Big Tech with those colossal figures. The great beneficiary is Nvidia. Meanwhile, it is likely that the great beneficiary of these colossal investments is Nvidia, which will be the one that will receive a good part of that money if everything follows the current trend. There will undoubtedly other beneficiaries in this area, but the Capex de Nvidia is comparatively ridiculous, both with respect to these companies and Regarding its current market capitalization (3.18 billion dollars). It is estimated that in fiscal year 2025 it will be about 3,000 million dollars, a quarter of the Apple, for example. In 2024 his capex It was barely 1,000 million dollars. Apple goes to another rhythm with AI. The firm of Cupertino seems clearly to have a very different strategy than that of its rivals in this segment. He has barely offered news since he presented Apple Intelligencewhose options are limited and whose deployment is being slow. The feeling, even internally, is that In Apple they are clear followers And that at the moment will not change.

China lives a cherry fever and Chile has become supermarket. It is a danger to the Chilean industry

by

The culinary tastes and customs of some countries may seem peculiar. It is not necessary to go very far: a few years ago The #Swedengate occurred for the controversy that, in Sweden, Guests did not feed. It is a more Nordic custom that clashes with the Mediterranean. If we go the other tip of the world, in China, we find that They have predilection for one stinky fruit that put even in pizza. But they also like cherries. Much, very much, so much that they buy them from Mansalva to a country that has become its great supplier and with which they have opened up to a commercial route exclusively for that. And that country is Chile. Grapes Cherries at the end of the year. Each country has its customs and rites associated with certain festivities. The twelve end of the year grapes are the perfect example. While in Spain fresh and green grapes are used, traditionally, in Portugal And some Latin American countries are also twelve, but raisins. In China, tradition is not so much to eat, but to give away, being the fruit predicts the cherry. The reason is that cherries are seen as a symbol not only of good luck to face the new year, but also of renewal. Its red color is associated with fortune, joy and is common as a gift and element of great importance in family celebrations. Globalization. Cherries in China not only symbolize good luck, but also family union. It is not something new, but its cultural impact has been modified in recent years due to a single reason: globalization. In the past, the consumption and gift of cherries was associated with some quality that, therefore, was exclusive. Almost like a luxury article for families. And it was so because in China, although cherries are grown, at this time of year production is limited due to climatic conditions. That’s where Chile, where it is summer, entered the equation, supply The Chinese market with its cherries. Fever. Because of this, its consumption shot. In 2016, Chile exported around 40,000 tons of cherries to China. In 2023, it increased to more than 370,000 tons. For the last season, it is estimated that the figure will be close to 660,000 tons. Chile is flooding the Chinese market and that has allowed this exclusive article to become something more common and that everyone who wants to access. Impact on Chile. Of course, to the Chilean market, this has come as a ring to the finger. Cherry is one of its main products, representing almost 40% of the fruit production value in the country, and it is estimated that this demand from China has caused that more than 90% of exports to that market are cherries. Cherry Express. You had to find new ways to export cherries to China to cover two needs: increase the number and that they would reach the Asian giant faster. Not only to expedite everything, but for the fruit to remain fresh. The road? The “Cherry Express”, a commercial route Inaugurated at the beginning of 2024 focused on improving the communication of the Chilean ports of San Antonio and Valparaíso with that of Tianjing In China. It is a port very close to Beijing, an epicenter of cherry consumption, and with this route the times are shortened and the processes are expedited, which also allows you to lower the price of cherries in the destination market. Besides, I know They incorporated to the route ships a series of technological innovations to monitor all the parameters of the refrigerated containers and guarantee the optimal state of the fruit. Concern for prices. This flood of cherries has a negative appearance that producers are seeing these last months: overproduction and overexport. Seeing China’s taste for cherries, Chilean farmers have focused precisely on their cultivation. It is estimated that production has increased by 40% for the last harvest, but in China they are not sold as many as those exported, the price collapses. It is something that is already worrying To Chilean producers because estimate is that the price of cherries in the last season is between 30% and 60% lower. Not only is there on the price, but a demand that has been reduced Due to the state of the Chinese economy, which can reduce the consumption of non -essential products. Chilean reaction. This situation is making the Latin American country wonder about the long -term sustainability of the industry, so much that there are strategies and the ones it promotes Prochilepointing to the diversification of markets and the improvement of competitiveness with an objective in mind: that the industry does not depend on prices for a single product.
