a “free city” in the heart of Copenhagen

by

In September it will be 55 years since the birth of Christianiaa place as peculiar as it is unknown to so many people. I myself admit that I had never heard of this “social experiment”, as they called themselves at least initially, until I visited Copenhagen. And what is Christiania? Well, a neighborhood located right in the heart of the Danish capital, and at the same time separated from the world. A self-governed and independent neighborhood, where more than a thousand people live together in peace and oblivious to social norms. Getting there is shocking. You walk through a normal and ordinary city, and suddenly you stand in front of a door, or rather a sign, that delimits the entrance. And when you cross it, you immerse yourself in a completely different place than where you came from. Going through that door is like entering a time machine. Suddenly you don’t hear the traffic or the noise of the crowd. Only calm, the passing of bicycles, calm voices, guitars, songs and even the chirping of birds. Formerly the Christiania lands belonged to the army, but they abandoned it back in 1971. It was then when a group of young people met and “took” those lands and their corresponding barracks to found a free community that still endures today, despite the multitude of battles they have had to fight with politicians and law enforcement. Many of these battles come caused by drug sales inside Christiania. At first they were allowed, but that ended up getting out of hand and “legality” was limited to soft drugs. On Pusher Street you can find marijuana plants everywhere, and even stands selling hashish. (Unsplash) Surely this is the main reason why taking photos there is frowned upon, and not what they argue that a photo does not reflect the spirit of the neighborhood. But when it comes to hard drugs, you won’t find anything. In fact, to avoid problems with the police, it is the residents of Christiania themselves who are first interested in ensuring that they do not appear on their streets. The idyllic corner of Copenhagen Christiania has a beautiful lake surrounded by paths where the homes of its inhabitants are located. The houses are each more unique and striking, with the most peculiar shapes and colors. In them, you can find people of all kinds. Without going any further, I met an old man who was building a boat. And they don’t bother to close their houses. They don’t believe in private property. In Christiania sharing is a way of life. Recycling is a norm, and they take advantage of all kinds of seemingly useless things. So you can find benches, chairs, or sculptures built with scrap metal and the like. But although it may sound poor, the workmanship of these artists turns them into the most homely and valuable objects. Christiania is famous for its “Cristianiabikes”, bicycles that they themselves invented with a kind of box in the front, which has spread throughout Copenhagen with the aim of transporting the little ones in the house on it. (Unsplash) They also have their own mail systemits restaurants (vegetarian), exhibition halls, daycare, shops and even concerts. Without going any further, characters and groups of the stature of Bob Dylan, Alanis Morissete, Blur, Portishead, Green Day, Rage Against The Machine and Eric Clapton have performed in Christiania. If you go to Copenhagen, don’t miss the opportunity to visit a magical place. A small neighborhood that flees from social norms and impositions, to live in its own style. You will feel welcomed and at peace. You can get lost in its paths surrounding the lake, fall in love with its houses, listen to the silence in the heart of Copenhagen. And when the time comes to leave and you cross that kind of door, or frame, again, you will be able to read its characteristic message: “You are now entering the EU” (You are entering the European Union.) They consider themselves a world apart. They are.

The industry does not stop raising the price of games and I have gotten hooked on this free movie guessing game

by

There’s something perversely satisfying about spending weeks thinking more about Al Pacino movies because of one game than any recent AAA release. This movie guessing game has no cutscenes spectacular nor does it come with an ambitious built-in trailer. This is a free website, without invasive advertising, that makes you chain movies with an unknown rival from the other side of the world. Is called ‘Cine2Nerdle‘, and its Battle 2.0 mode is, right now, the hardest thing for me to leave in the browser. How to play. The daily puzzle puts you in front of a grid of 4×4 tiles. Each card contains a word or phrase. The objective is to rearrange them by exchanging positions until each row or column alludes to or describes a movie. There are between four and five movies hidden on each board. When you have three tiles of the same movie lined up, they light up yellow; when you complete all four, the row is resolved. And when you have four horizontally you have to reorganize in search of the fifth. All with limited movements, of course. What makes Cine2Nerdle genuinely interesting in its single-player mode is its constant cheating. A card can belong to a row because it is the place where a movie takes place, and simultaneously to a column because it is the last name of the leading actor in another. This game of polysemy also affects false paths; A proper name can have multiple owners, an initial can be a title or the name of a character. Each puzzle is more like a crossword puzzle than a logic test. Its secret: Battle Mode. The daily puzzle is already good enough, but what makes ‘Cine2Nerdle’ a diabolical invention is the Battle mode, and more specifically its second version. The basic idea is a 1vs1 duel in real time: both players start from an initial film and have 25 seconds, taking turns to chain together others that share at least one member of the artistic team: actor, director, screenwriter, director of photography. And so on until someone is left without an answer or runs out of time. What Battle 2.0 added over the previous version is a layer of strategy that transforms the game. Before, games could last about an hour if both players knew cinema well. Now each player carries a “battle kit” that includes items as a condition for immediate victory (for example, mentioning four science fiction films from the eighties or connecting films with an actor without using him as a direct connector), life savers (small helps, such as revealing facts about the films) and the possibility of banning films or actors to the rival. Thus the games are resolved in about five minutes. The good thing: before each game you prepare the kit of aids and objectives that you have gained while playing, and thus you can make up for your film-loving shortcomings. Pure RPG mechanics. The strategy. You have to use the aspects in which you are strong and have knowledge to drag the rival there. For example: are you an expert in horror films from the eighties? Mention long career directors who take the game from the present, where everyone knows titles, to decades past (e.g. John Carpenter). Take the game to your territory, and there, begin to uncover increasingly rare films, and reinforce your choices with prohibitions on using the best-known actors in the cast. The remains of ‘Wordle’. When the New York Times bought ‘Wordle’ for more than a million dollars By early 2022, the game already had millions of daily users. The formula was simple: one word per day, shareable on networks, without unnecessary additives. What followed was an avalanche of thematic derivatives: geography (Worldle), music (Heardle), mathematics (Nerdle)… Most did not survive a year. Cine2Nerdle He is one of the survivors. It was created by Nilanth Yogadasan, who had already published CineNerdle (a puzzle of film frames that were revealed little by little). The jump to “2” completely changed the mechanics and also, as its creator recognizesis a nod to the style of titles like ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’: the sequel that puts the number in the middle. The kind of winks for coffee lovers that turn a game for film nerds into an accessible and fun experience.

How to create an application in Google AI Studio for free and easily

by

Let’s explain to you how to create a simple web application with Google AI Studio. It is a program with which you can create applications, websites, or other projects by writing the code with artificial intelligence. Come on, you tell him what you want and Gemini will generate the web application, also showing you the code. But there are some things you need to keep in mind, so we’ll start by telling you the risks involved in creating a webapp with AIespecially in terms of privacy if you are going to publish it. Then, we will tell you step by step how to proceed in a simple way. Before you start, dangers to be aware of Before we get into this, you should keep in mind that may not be a good idea create a web application using artificial intelligence, especially if you plan to publish it. It all depends on what you are going to use it for. To start, with Google AI Studio you will only build a skeleton of the web page or web application, pure HTML code without a secure and private database for each user you access. Therefore, without a login system, you run the risk of all data being exposed on a kind of public board. For example, imagine that you create a notes web application, and that you publish it on the Internet. So, everything you write can be read by othersand even other people will be able to add elements. This means that what Google AI Studio allows you to do are web application skeletonsa complete code that you will then have to fill out to add databases and records. It is best not to publish them. as generated by this tool. There is the possibility to ask the tool to generate an application with local memory to be saved in your browser. This will make it private by saving the data in the cache, although everything you type will be lost if you change browsers or when cache cleans are done. And the other big problem with creating a web application with an artificial intelligence tool is that there may be bad code that does not work wellso it is always advisable to review the code with knowledge and verify that everything does as it should. Use an AI to design the prompt Google AI Studio works with artificial intelligence, which means that you can describe what you want with natural language, and then it will translate it into an application. Therefore, you will only need one prompt. However, It will be more effective to use an AI to generate the prompt. It is like using an AI as a translator so that the idea you have in your head is reflected in a much more complete and complex prompt that you will then be able to review. For example, I have used Claude and I have explained to him what I want the application to have and the ideas for the design. When making the request I have specified that what I want is a prompt to make a web application in Google AI Studio. As a result, Claude has created me a multi-paragraph prompt in English, also including the color code I want it to use. In addition, he has thought of an interface to do it, and has designed the prompt explaining it so that Google AI Studio understands it. As a small noteremember that this AI has Claude’s Artifacts, which are like internal applications. Therefore, you will always be able to say something like “create an artifact from this prompt”, so you will be able to create an internal app and verify its style. This will not be the same as the one from Google AI Studio, but you can use it as a test. We start creating the application To start creating your application, enter Google AI Studio with the web aistudio.google.com. Once inside, click on the section Buildwhich is used to start creating an application. Now copy the prompt that we generated before and paste it in the writing field. I recommend that when you do it check the prompt in case there is anything in it that you want to change. Once you have it, click on the button Build to start the process. Now, Google AI Studio will generate your app. When it does, you will see that the screen is divided in two. On the left you have a part that is like a chat with the tool’s AI, and on the right the preview. Once you finish, you can test that everything works to your liking, and use the chat on the left to request changes and corrections. It is very important that you now take your time adding and changing elements in the application. Do it little by little, don’t be in a hurry and make short prompts with specific changes to progress progressively. With every prompt you type, Google AI Studio will remake the app. You can also ask the AI ​​that generated the app questions, and based on the answers to ask it to make changes. For example, you can ask him make sure the data is saved in the localStoragein the computer’s memory, so that they are not exposed on the network. You can also ask for more complex things, like helping you set up a system for signing in with your Google Account and saving your data to Google Drive. In this case, the AI ​​that you have on the side of the project will guide you step by step through what you have to do and giving you the credentials to do it. By default the tool will show you a preview of what you are creating. but you can click on the tab code to preview the internal code of the web application. You also have a download button to download the code and then be able to use it whenever you want. … Read more

After 10 years in prison for not revealing where 500 gold coins are, the world’s greatest treasure hunter is now free to go after them

by

Right off the bat, the name of Tommy Thompson It may not sound familiar to you at all. Besides ocean engineer and inventor, he is one of the greatest treasure hunters in the world, a profession that inevitably evokes Indiana Jones and a life of cinema. And well, Thompson has it: a few days ago he was released from prison after serving 10 years of his sentence. The crime? Do not reveal where 500 gold coins from a famous sunken ship are (among other things). The discovery. In 1988 Tommy Thompson and his team, the Columbus-America Discovery Group, they found the remains of the steamboat SS Central America at a depth of 8,000 feet in the Atlantic, about 200 miles east of Charleston, South Carolina. To achieve this, they used Bayesian search theory and a remotely operated vehicle. The SS Central America was known as the “Gold Ship” for something: how much gold it transported. How much? good question. The gold ship. To give some context, it was the time of the gold rush and the mission of the ship was to transport that valuable metal from the new San Francisco Mint to increase the reserves for the banks of the eastern United States. He never did. On September 3, 1857, while operating on the Panama route, it sank off the coast of South Carolina when it was involved in a category 2 hurricane. The ship carried 477 passengers, 101 crew members and much, much gold. In fact, its sinking was one of the triggers for the panic of 1857. I don’t have the accounts. Gary Kinder spent a decade studying the event to write his “Ship of Gold”, where details which was carrying 3 tons of gold and possibly a similar amount of passengers (undisclosed and therefore unquantifiable) and it was also rumored that there was another 15 tons of gold in a secret army shipment. However, a US Department of Defense document declassified in 1971 reported that the official cargo was 11.2 tons of gold (not including personal or secret gold). The American naval history magazine, the closest source to the discovery, It does not give a figure in weight but a value: The gold consigned to New York banks was equivalent to 40 million dollars at the time. In general, the figure of 30,000 pounds of gold (about 14,000 kg) is also relatively widespread. But what was on the boat is one thing and what they found is another. Or they said find. Bob Evans, chief scientist of the expedition (and another one that followed in 2014). from the hand of Odyssey), account for the Seattle Times that in 1988 they found two tons of gold. The legal conflict. Much of that gold was later sold to a trading company for about $50 million. as reported by Reuters. But according to those 161 investors who financed $12.7 million for the expedition, they never reaped the benefits. So In 2005 they filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and concealment of assets. Thompson first secluded himself in Florida, then disappeared and lived under a false identity. He was finally arrested in 2015. The case reached a dead end: the judge in the case ordered him to reveal the whereabouts of 500 missing gold coins, but the engineer He claimed not to know where they are. He was declared in contempt, which is why he has served a decade in prison. The liberation. Today Tommy Thompson is 73 years old and a few days ago regained his freedom because, according to the judge, keeping him imprisoned does not work. CBS News picks up the opinion of civil law experts who explain that it is very unusual for a sentence for civil contempt to last so long. He has neither revealed where the coins are nor has he settled the debt with his investors. Meanwhile, the treasure of the SS Central America continues to feed the myth: in 2022 was auctioned one of the largest bars on the ship, 866 ounces (almost 27 kg), reaching a price of 2.16 million dollars.

What it is, what courses with official certification it offers and what free materials you can access

by

It has practical tools and resources for users of all profiles, so you can learn how to use AI effectively and responsibly. Just as Anthropic has a series of free courses for ClaudeOpenAI opts for a different format. They are not courses in themselves, but rather a content and community platform including videos, articles, guides and live events. Although if you are looking for courses, we will also tell you about the two created by OpenAI. What is OpenAI Academy OpenAI Academy is a digital platform created by OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT and one of those leading the artificial intelligence revolution for consumers.

In it you will find content from people without any knowledge who want to take their first steps in AI to other types of professionals who want help to optimize their work in a specific sector using AI. Therefore, it is used to learn but also to specialize with the use of AI in certain areas. They do all this with a combination of online events, workshops, and other digital content. The idea is to be able to go from the fundamentals of AI literacy to its advanced integration when you are a developer. The platform is completely freealthough it will require you to register to access some of its content. Unlike other platforms such as Anthropic’s training platform, it is not a place for courses, but instead combines online resources thematic communities and all kinds of training tools. What OpenAI Academy offers The OpenAI platform offers various types of content. First of all, you have online or in-person training eventswhich are talks scheduled for a specific day or time. These talks are given by specialist educators, and anyone who wants can sign up to attend. And then we have a contents section, where you will find videos, resources, blog posts and external content. These are all resources aimed at helping users learn and better understand how to use artificial intelligence in different areas. All of these contents are served for different types of people.

Therefore, if you are a Spanish-speaking user who does not master this language, you will not be able to enjoy them too much. They plan to expand the academy to other languages, but at the moment there are no specific dates. Courses with official certification Lastly, OpenAI also has two own courses with official certification. The only problem is that the courses are not within this platform. Instead, one of them is taught by ChatGPT for some users and the other is on a third-party platform. AI Foundations: A certification course for workers in any sector or industry. Not yet available to all usersbut only for certain people, but when it is, it will be taught directly within ChatGPT with the chatbot itself acting as the teacher. ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers: Course aimed at primary and secondary education teachers, to teach them the fundamentals of ChatGPT and to be able to customize it and use it in their work. It’s on Courseraand will soon be integrated into ChatGPT for Teachers.

Andalusia wants to recover the experience of its retired teachers, but sets one condition: that they do it for free

by

The Junta de Andalucía has created a new figure in Spanish public education: emeritus collaborating teachers. The idea is that retired teachers They can rejoin training tasks in schools and institutes to share their experience with active teachers and students. The Board’s proposal It is collected under the Red Share Experience program and can mobilize up to 2,500 retirees a year throughout the community. There is a detail in this measure that has not gone unnoticed: the retired teachers who participate will do so completely voluntarily and will not charge anything, as indicated in the Decree 12/2026 It was approved by the Government Council on February 4, 2026 and has just come into force after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía. ​The objective: not to lose the experience. The Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training has presented This measure is considered “pioneer in Spain”, and its objective is to take advantage of the knowledge accumulated by teachers who have spent decades in the classrooms and put it at the service of centers that need it. In the standard, the Board defines the figure of emeritus collaborating teachers, retired teachers with a long teaching career who maintain their link with educational centers and carry out advisory, training and support tasks in complementary activities. The program has legal backing under the Andalusian Education Law of 2007, which in its article 23.4 already contemplated the possibility of retired teachers collaborating in libraries and support management teams. This new decree expands and regulates that framework for the first time. What requirements must be met to participate?. It is not enough to have been a teacher to participate in the project, a series of requirements are required. You must be retired for any reason other than permanent disability, be under 75 years of age when submitting the application and have worked for at least 15 years in public or subsidized non-university centers in Andalusia. Furthermore, you cannot have received a firm sanction for serious or very serious misconduct in the five years prior to retirement, nor have you been convicted of crimes against sexual freedom. A maximum limit of 2,500 places is set for the entire community for each annual call. a report of the UGT union of 2022 confirms that in Spain 34.5% of non-university teachers are over 50 years old, while in secondary school this percentage rises to 38.4%, which indicates that there will be a significant number of potential candidates for this project in the coming years. What they can do and what they are prohibited from doing. The decree that has just been published imposes a very clear red line from the beginning: the emeritus “will not occupy jobs or perform functions typical of active professors.” What they can do is accompany newly arrived teachersmentor intern students, energize the school library, organize talks and workshops, participate in innovation projects, guide students in their academic path or collaborate on the center’s social networks and publications, among other activities. However, although they do not receive a salary for their contribution, the emeritus do have some compensation. The Board guarantees them insurance that covers accidents, illness and civil liability. At the end of each course they will receive an official certification and will have free access to cultural institutions under the same conditions as active teachers. How and when to apply for a place. The program works through two methods of incorporation. On the one hand, there is the open route that allows retired teachers to present a project that any center in Andalusia can incorporate if interested. The concrete route, on the other hand, is designed for those who want to collaborate with a specific school or institute. In both cases, the project must fit into the center’s plan and have the prior approval of the Teaching Staff and the School Council. If there are more candidates than places available in a single center, the tiebreaker is resolved in order of seniority in that center or in the teaching staff.

And in that NordVPN gives us a lot of confidence: they have just overcome your sixth independent “zero records” audit (no-logs) conducted by Deloitte. This implies that one of the world’s largest auditing firms has gone into the kitchen of its systems—interviewing employees and analyzing each server—to confirm that NordVPN does not track, collect or store anything you do online.
