A triplegable missile that marks territory in front of the entire industry

by

Buy or not a tablet. That is the big question when the mobile falls short to work or see content comfortably. At that point more doubts arise: if it is worth investing in another device, if it compensates to always load with it, if we really need it. Everything has its pros and cons. But what if there was a single screen for everything? What recently sounded to experiment today is a reality that steps strongly: folding mobiles have taken another step. They are no longer folded only by two, now they also fold in three. The most striking example is the new Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Designthe second triplegable company. The Chinese brand presents it with a clear objective: Attract those looking for more than a traditional smartphone. Huawei Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Technical Card Screens Folding: 6.4 ”(2232 × 1008) Double: 7.9 ”(2232 × 2048) Triple: 10.2 ”(2232 × 3184) OLED · LTPO (adaptive soda rate) PWM 1440 HZ · 240 Hz touch sampling Processor Kirin 9020 Operating system Harmonyos 5.1 RAM 12 GB / 16 GB Storage 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB Rear cameras MAIN: 50 MP, F/1.4 – F/4.0, RYYB, OIS, 10 Steps Physical Opening Ultra wide angle: 40 mp, f/2.2, Ryyb Telefoto Periscope: 12 MP, F/3.4, Ryyb, OIS, 5,5x optical zoom (Digital 50x) Front camera 8 mp ultra wide angle, f/2.2 Load and battery Cable: up to 66 W; Inverse 5 w · wireless: up to 50 w; Inverse 7.5 w 5600 mAh Accessories Compatible with M-PEN 3 (air gestures, button) Bluetooth keyboard Price Since 17,999 yuan (about 2,165 euros) A huge screen and the entire Huawei muscle This mobile is a sophistication exercise. The rear wears a textured finish that highlights even more with its octagonal camera module, framed in gold. Metal edges maintain the same tone, creating a uniform and elegant aesthetic. It is available in black, white, purple and soft red, all with golden details that reinforce their exclusive character. Huawei had already surprised with the Mate XT, his first folding of three sections. Now, with this Mate XTS, refine your proposal without drastic changes with the naked eye, but with improvements that make it more ambitious. Its main protagonist is the screen: an X-True panel of 10.2 inches and 3K resolution that folds into two points to adopt different sizes according to the use. It can become a 7.9 -inch tablet or a 6.4 -inch smartphone, always with a 92% screen ratio that takes full advantage of the space. The panel includes LTPO technology to dynamically adjust the refreshment rate and offer a more fluid experience. Despite its size, Huawei has made the device surprisingly light in hand, and its construction with materials such as UTG glass and reinforced components promise to provide resistance without losing elegance. Under the hood, the Mate XTS premieres the new Kirin 9020 processor, accompanied by Harmonyos 5.1. Huawei says a jump of more than 36% in performance Regarding its predecessor, optimizing multitasking, apps and energy consumption. In addition, it incorporates advanced antennas and satellite connectivity (according to availability), which allows you to maintain communication even without land coverage. The photographic section is another of its great arguments. Mounted a three-chamber system: a 50 MP principal with variable opening (f/1.4-f/4.0) and optical stabilization, an ultra large angle of 40 MP) a notable jump from the 12 MP of the previous model) and a 12 MP teleobjective with 5.5x and digital optical zoom of up to 50x. The 8 MP front camera is complemented with functions such as the double view to preview the photos from both sides of the screen. Autonomy is in charge of a 5600 mAh battery with silicon anode, which promises resistance without compromising thickness. Admits Fast charging of 66 w by cable and 50 w wireless. Huawei has paid attention to the productivity section: the mobile is compatible with the M-Pen 3 pencil, which allows you to draw, take notes or control presentations with air gestures. It also works with a bluetooth keyboard designed. At the software level, the experience is designed to take advantage of the triplegable format. Harmonyos 5.1 Includes a multiventana mode that allows you to stack applications, drag content between screens and run full PC apps such as WPS Office o Graphic editing programs. Functions such as screen translation or a voice assistant. Price and availability of Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design has just been officially presented in China. At the moment, there are no details about its arrival in Europe, but its prices in the Asian market allow us to get an idea of ​​its range.

The dubbing actors are planting in front of AI. In Mexico, the protest goes beyond image rights

by

The protest was this Sunday, but the discomfort had been cooking for weeks. Actors, broadcasters and creatives of the dubbing world mobilized in Mexico City to ask that their voice, their work tool cannot be cloned by artificial intelligence without consent. The trigger was a video published by the INE that, according to the organizers, the voice of the deceased would have used José Lavat generated by means of. Lavat was one of the most recognized dubbing voices in Latin Spanish, known for his role as a narrator in the Dragon Ball series. The impact was immediate. And the answer, too. A protest in the CDMX center. The mobilization took place in the monument to the revolution, in the center of Mexico City. It was not a massive march, but it was significant: not only because of the number –According to the National Association of Actors (ANDA)more than a thousand people attended – but for the diversity of voices who joined the claim. Among the calls and assistants were Ameloc, the Anda herself, the United Voices Organization, Ark Dubbing Mexico, the Esteban Siller Artistic Specialization Center (Ceartes), and also the International Association of Workers of the Show (AITE). As they collect in this Instagram postthe claim was shared by broadcasters, actors, technicians, directors and professionals of all industry levels. “It’s not just about actors,” said Alejandro Cuétara, representative of Anda, cited by Ecos Media MX. “We are supporting a group of directors whose work is also at risk, and the guild in general, which includes the other 60 departments that participate in a filming. From which Barre, to the director: we are all at risk.” From the street claim to Congress. The protest was not just symbolic. The participants took advantage of the call to demand concrete changes in Mexican legislation. The objective: that the human voice – as biometric data and work tool – is protected by law against unauthorized uses with artificial intelligence. As explained by Cuétara, in the last legislature there were up to 58 attempts to regulate the use of AI. “And none came to a discussion,” he lamented. Now, they support a new initiative promoted by local deputy Paulo García, which has already been raised to the federal level. What they ask, in the words of the Anda representative, is clear: “That there are the attempts of law that there are.” Cuétara also made a direct call to President Claudia Sheinbaum, asking her to take the issue as a legislative priority. “We are asking the president, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum, to take the matter as her own and that puts a priority initiative to be discussed,” she said in the demonstration. The proposal is not limited to the use of voices in advertising or cinema: seeks broader recognition. “By controlling biometric, not only of talents, actors, actresses … the biometric of all Mexican. That your voice is part of your own image and that no one can or replicate it or use it to feed generative intelligences,” he said. It is a concern that is not only technique: it is also human. Therefore, from the Mexican guild they propose the creation of a new seal, which works as a declaration of principles. To the already known “made in Mexico”, they want to add a new one: “made by humans.” The government takes note (at least for now). This Monday, In its usual public interventionPresident Claudia Sheinbaum referred to the case directly. “They are right,” he said, in relation to the claims of the actors and announcers who participated in the protest. “They are people who dedicate themselves mainly to dubbing and, according to what they raise, even people who already died. This is not correct,.” Sheinbaum confirmed that she has already talked with the legal counselor and the Ministry of Culture to open a dialogue channel with the groups. “We are going to meet them to see which schemes of protection to their work and their voice have to be used to avoid the use of what is their main work tool, which is their voice, through artificial intelligence,” he said during the morning conference. The president admitted that the issue raises legal challenges – as the debate on whether the voice can be considered a biometric data – but also recognized the value of the trade. “The dubbing that is done in Mexico is very good. There are many people who dedicate themselves to it and you have to protect their work, their voice and everything that is associated with this important profession.” The dilemma is not just Mexican. What is played in Mexico is part of a broader debate. Throughout the world, artificial intelligence has begun to enter the creative processes, From script writing to films dubbing. Prime video, for examplehas already launched a pilot program to apply dubbing assisted by AI in titles that did not have a localized version. The plan, they assure, combines AI with human review to make its catalog more accessible. But not everyone see it with good eyes. In Hollywood, critical voices accumulate. Robert Downey Jr., for example, made clear that it will not allow That a digital twin of yours is believed or that its image is used with without consent. “Even if I am dead, my law firm will remain very active,” he warned.

His sediments unprotected us in front of the next drought

by

Thanks to the data provided by the authorities and on initiatives such as reservoirs.netwe have at our disposal complete information of the state of the hundreds of reservoirs that populate our environment. However, for some time the experts have noticed us with a problem that make this data in principle precise and observational into something more similar to estimates. It is the problem of sediments. Decades of accumulation. The reservoirs, in addition to accumulating water accumulate sediments. This involves a problem since they occupy a growing proportion of the volume of Spanish swamps, with the aggravating fact that it is very difficult to estimate the exact proportion in each case. Fortunately, the echoes of drought have abandoned us (for now), but during the last months of water bonanza, some swamps even had to release water after their filling. Part of that water could have been used if their place had not occupied these sediments. It is for all this that the sediments have come to be called The “silent thief” of the reservoirs. Difficult solution. This accumulation is due to dynamics associated with the very nature of these great reserves and the architectural barriers that create them. That is why impossible to prevent this accumulation from being more or lesser extent, so we only have two options left: living with sediments or performing periodic dredging operations to clean up these sediments occasionally. Living with sediments. Coexistence with sediments is not synonymous with ignoring the problem. Quite the contrary, it requires more accurately to document the magnitude of this phenomenon. The speed at which sediments accumulate in the reservoirs in the form of sludge, sand and other materials depends great Considering all these variables is complicated, so observational studies are also an option. The study of the lacuestre bed through batimeters would allow us to know the status of the bottom of the reservoir without having to empty it or resort to indirect estimates. Knowing the degree of accumulation of sediments in reservoirs can help us adjust your real capacity and to know more accurately what are the real water resources we have and what is the rhythm to which we spend them. Of course, this solution does not solve the problem of loss of reservoirs capacity, but at least allows us to work with it. Studies. We do not have a general idea of ​​the state of the sediments in our reservoirs but we do have a record of some studies and estimates carried out over the last years. The problem today is that the number of studies is limited and its diverse results. We have an example in the study conducted in 2018 by the Tajo Hydrographic Confederation, which estimated An insignificant accumulation of sediments. At the other extreme, a batimetry study conducted by the Segura Hydrographic Confederation indicated a loss of capacity in the basin of Between 10% and 40%. A third study offers us a somewhat more global vision. Made through 110 reservoir analysis, this third work estimated a loss of capacity of our reservoirs of about 5%an intermediate result between the aforementioned. Dranging the reservoirs. The solution to the problem I could be in the dredging of the reservoirs. This option would allow them to recover their original capacity but at the same time raised a challenge due to the number of swamps existing to the country. A challenge and considerable investment. These types of operations are not, however, a mere utopia. In 2024 the Ebro swamp began some dredging operations To release one of the disaggers of the dam, useless as a result of the accumulation of sediments. The budget of the work: 2.5 million euros.

A work in front of Casa is unvoyable for everyone. China has a solution: inflatable domes

by

Anyone who has lived them knows: works can be as annoying as necessary. That they build a hospital, a school or a shopping center next to the house can be a blessing, but it is preceded by months and more months (not years) of dust, noise and a continuous coming and going of excavators, cranes and trucks. In China they have decided to save the neighbors that annoying toll of A peculiar form: covering the works with gigantic inflatable domes. AND (faithful to his style) He has also decided to do it in a big way. What happened? That China has had An idea so that the works generate less discomfort to houses, schools, parks, churches and other buildings that surround them: encapsulate them. Literally. Its proposal consists neither more nor less than inflarous ‘bubbles’ that cover the entire extension of the works, temporary domes that reduce noise and dust that the neighbors usually suffer when workers, trucks and excavators begin to move. The objective: less impact was while operators work inside. From theory to practice. The use of large inflatable domes is not exactly new. In autumn of 1971 Ibiza already hosted an ephemeral city created with plastic inflatables, Instant City. If the Chinese initiative is news, it is because of its approach (it seeks to minimize the impact of the works) and especially because it has gone from the theory to the facts. And big, in addition. In Jinana populous city of the East of China that acts as the head of the province of Shandong, just deployed an XXL inflatable dome as part of the Honglou 1905 project. According to Precise Huanqiuthe promoters want to build a large commercial complex there, but they found that the plot in which the works must be developed is in an area full of life, the district of Licheng, near a church, the Shandong University and an institute, in addition to numerous buildings. Thus, the question was obvious: how to get the works forward without the noise, dust, dirt and come and go of trucks to ruin the daily life of the entire neighborhood? An ephemeral ‘cathedral of 50 meters. The answer revealed it A few weeks ago Dazhong News: Those responsible for the work deployed a large inflatable dome 150 meters long, 100 wide, 50 high and a total area that moves between 20,000 and 30,000 square meters to cover the works. As is. The structure is formed by a PVDF membrane, a very fine material that operators deployed on June 12 with the help of fans. “The outside of the film is a network structure made of steel cables that keeps it together and then fixes it to the concrete beam at the bottom,” Wang Luren clarifiesHonglou Project Manager 1905. Under the dome there are no columns in addition, which allows operators to move comfortably. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Less dust, less noise. Those responsible for the work ensure that the “ bubble ‘reduces dust emissions by about 90% and cushion in more than 80% the noise of the works. It is also water resistant, which facilitates work during rainy months. However, the idea is that the dome is used during the first phase of the works, while the work progresses at zero level. For now, it has already served the government to breastfeed. A few days ago none, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, He presumed that Jinan’s inflatable dome is “the largest in the world.” And insisted: its purpose is to “create cleaner and more silent construction spaces, minimizing the impact (of the works) in the surrounding communities and the environment.” To emphasize the message he published a video of the deployment that have reproduced media such as TN either Gulf News. And what about workers? The dome may reduce the discomfort of the works between the neighborhood, but … how does it affect the operators that will work inside? If dust and noise do not go outside, do they accumulate in the structure? Won’t it affect temperature? The initiative has raised similar questions, but the promoters ensure that the bubble is also designed for workers. “Avoid high temperatures” .Luren says that the PVDF membrane blocks 90% of ultraviolet rays and the structure includes a breathlessness at the top to guarantee ventilation. “We will also adjust the construction cycle to, as far as possible, avoid high temperatures.” A spray system and fog cannons will also help the accumulation of dust under the membrane staying at “a reasonable level”. The roof is also igniphed, is designed to support storms and snowfall and is completed with a system that allows their responsible to adjust the environment.

The big goal is to eliminate a Russian soldier who is not in the front

by

In May it was revealed that war in Ukraine had become a kind of macabre video game. Kill, literally, gave points to kyiv’s soldiers and then redeem them for rewards in a “luck” of Military Amazon. That program converted each military action into a direct transaction, redefining the boundaries between combat, technology and war economy. The rewards system has just been updated, and everyone pursues the same goal. Strategic change. Actually, change has to do with something that We have been counting. The drone war In Ukraine he has experienced a decisive turn in his combat logic. Russian tanks, previously coveted as the whites of greater value, have lost prominence in favor of a new priority objective: drone operators enemies This transformation was formalized with a review in that Incentive system By points that rewards the Ukrainian units for each successful destruction, a system implemented since August 2024 to optimize attacks and stimulate efficiency in the use of non -manned aerial vehicles (UAV). The operator as white. Change, announced On June 12 by the commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, the Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdiresponds to an urgent operational concern: the slow elimination of Russian infantry allowed Moscow to continue accumulating troops in the front. Consequently, the new values ​​assigned to whites reconfigure radically tactical priorities: Wounding a Russian drone pilot now grants 15 points, and eliminate it 25while the destruction of tanks has been relegated to a value of just eight points, in contrast to the 40 it granted before. Multiple rocket launch platforms, which could add up to 50 points, now are only worth 10. On the hunt for a soldier. The modification seeks to reorient attention to the systematic elimination of enemy personnel, especially of Russian UAV operators, considered critical nodes in the offensive capacity and recognition of Moscow. Brovdi clarified that this new system does not intend to dissuade pilots to attack armored columns or mechanized vehicles if they occur as valuable tactical objectives, but a new operational mentality is encouraged: the Elimination of the human factor Behind the machines. What Moscow says. The measure has had immediate resonance in the Russian military networks. Several pro -Russian analysts, such as Alexander Kharchenko, alerted about a clear change in tactical pressure exerted by Ukraine. Khanchenko wrote on his channel of Telegram Witnesses Bayraktar that “all efforts have been redirected to identify and destroy our UAV crews,” and recommended strengthening camouflage and constantly modifying positions. Other Russian analysts advised the operators to space and reduce the Minimum movementsuggesting that any unnecessary displacement compromises survival in an environment where the enemy has made its elimination a priority objective. War economy for points. It We count weeks ago. The points system not only has a symbolic or motivational value: it is also an access mechanism to concrete resources On the battlefield. The Ukrainian units that document their attacks with valid videos can redeem the accumulated points For military equipment through a Digital platform (described as a kind of “military Amazon”) that offers more than one thousand different articles, from batteries to satellite communication systems. In April, it was reported that this platform was fully operational. According to Brovdi, he deeds a typical squadron of three Russian drones operators would allow a unit to obtain enough points for Acquire 57 FPV drones new, which usually cost around 500 dollars each. This logic dystopian Accumulation by reward has proven to be a powerful logistics engine to keep Ukrainian forces in operation that depend in part on state resources, but also on civil contributions and collective financing campaigns. Real -time optimization. They remembered in Insider That currently about 507 Ukrainian units actively participate in this system, reporting monthly their scores. Brovdi announced that the leaders of the 12 units with the highest score will be regularly summoned Together with randomly selected representatives to form an approach group, whose objective will be to evaluate the effectiveness of the system, model combat scenarios and propose adjustments to the bonus scheme. The mechanism seeks not only to energize the design of incentives, but to integrate those who are in the front line into Tactical evolution of the war effort. The flexibility of the model and its continuous adjustment according to the direct feedback of the combatants seeks to keep it not only in force, but adapted to the vertiginous rhythm of a war where Innovationsurgical lethality and speed in decision -making have displaced conventional methods. Thus, the “hunting of operators”, more than a slogan, is now the axis of a war that redefines what it means to have fire power in the 21st century.

China is eating the European car in front of our eyes. And Spain is serving as advanced

by

China is flooding Europe with their cars. Electric, hybrid or combustion (one of the Weapons that Chinese companies have To skip them Tariffs imposed by the European Union), China’s arrival cars are making its way to elbow in the main European markets. But there are three in which the penetration is spectacular, so much that of the total of Chinese vehicles enrolled in Europe this year, three countries receive 70% of those registrations. They are the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy, and China knows that it must continue to tighten. Evolution. The Schmidt Automotive Research analysts has published a graph in which we can see the evolution of the car registration Chinese in those three markets. For 2024, six out of ten Chinese cars enrolled in Europe did it in those three countries. United Kingdom and Italy have been hesitant at some times, but in Spain quarter after quarter have grown. During the first period of 2025, however, enrollments grew in the three countries, touching the percentage of 70% of all Chinese cars in Europe. Regarding the total market share, according to Dataforcehave gone from 2.5% in April 2014 to 4.1% in April of this year. British connection. The British case is curious for several reasons. The first because Chinese companies must Adapt your cars with the right steering wheelsomething unique throughout the European territory. The second is the most important: as the United Kingdom is not part of the European Union, it does not share the tariffs imposed on the Chinese car that have implemented the rest of the countries of the Union. This allows a more comfortable entry for manufacturers, but from Schmidt they also point out that the British market is, traditionally, less loyal to brands and, therefore, consumers are more open to new brands. This was already seen when they adopted virgin marks in the territory, such as Daewoo or Chevrolet, in the early 2000s. Spearheads. The proper names are the already known. Byd is betting strongly on expand its vehicle porpholio in our land and wants to become One of the largest fish on the market. MG was one of the best -selling brands and Xpeng He has just landed in the United Kingdom and He already did it in 2024 in Spain. The company plans to be present in 60 countries by the end of 2025 and wants to have a powerful network of dealers to strengthen its positioning. The Chery group with Momoda and Jaecoo are opening concessionaires, but there are More examples of Chinese companies They are establishing or looking for home to sell their vehicles. But, beware, also to manufacture them. Strategy. Because that expansion goes beyond bringing vehicles directly from China: it goes to manufacture them on European soil. For several reasons. One is Understand the European uservery different from Chinese in tastes and preferences. Another is better to dodge tariffs. Spain is an example of how Chinese companies are looking to settle. Cherywhat was made After a long soap opera With the Nissan factory in Barcelona, already manufactures the Ebro S800 on Spanish soil. And they are not just cars factories. Spain is playing for free In the case of tariffs because something as important is played as Iberian pig exports to the Asian giant, and the fruits of that approach to China is the arrival of Investments such as Catl in Aragon to electrify Stellantis vehicles. Perspective. That in only three countries there are almost 70% of the registrations of all cars that Chinese companies bring to Europe is an extremely relevant fact because it implies that they are the most interested markets and where they can receive the bulk of the strategy for the next months. It is no longer just that China has huge ships prepared to continue flooding with their cars those territories, but can lead to more strategic alliances and a search for a search for Premium positioning as lever for expansion among other user groups.

of a 19 second video in front of some elephants to become the global video giant

by

“Here we are facing the elephants.” With that phrase, simple and somewhat clumsy, the history of YouTube started. It was April 24, 2005. Jawed Karim, one of his co -founders, uploaded a Video of just 19 seconds in the San Diego Zoo. There were no tripods, no hand microphones, or an editing plan. Only one person pointing animals with long tubes, a fresh spring afternoon. No one knew it then, but those 19 seconds would mark the beginning of a revolution. They say that in January 2005, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, two PayPal employees, were at a party. People took photos and recorded videos, but sharing those videos was an incompatible formats, formats and software. “We try to simplify it as much as possible,” Chen remembered a year later in a television interview.. With that frustration in mind, Hurley, Chen and Karim began to develop a place that allowed Upload videos and share them without headaches. The first prototype, Inspired by an appointment site called Hotornotsoon evolved towards something broader: a platform where anyone could show anything. YouTube found a great ally in MySpacethe social network created by Tom Anderson: Young people filled their profiles with videos on the most popular platform of the moment. The great impulse would arrive in December 2005, when A Saturday Night Live sketch It circulated like gunpowder and triggered YouTube traffic by 83%. Suddenly, the video on the Internet was popular culture. The viral explosion and the jump to Google In October 2006, Google bought Youtube for 1,650 million dollars. Hurley and Chen became Millionaires overnightbut there were many challenges ahead: the platform had to dodge the demands for copyright, maintain community essence and turn attention into money. YouTube was born as a spontaneity showcase. There were no filming sets or careful postproductions: only people recording in their rooms and many others uploading ads, video clips or television fragments. With the arrival of Partner Program In 2007, creators began to professionalize. Someone’s video in front of elephants gave way to an industry of Vlogs, Sketches, Tutorials and Gameplays, many of them already with television quality. The main page of YouTube in January 2006 On Spanish -speaking YouTube, the first years were marked by creativity as free as disorderly. Rubius improvised ‘Epic Vlogs’, Fernanfloo overflowed a very particular humor, Auronplay launched videos recorded in his room talking about games, and Willyrex and Vegetta published their first games of ‘Call of Duty’ and ‘Uncharted‘. The videos were homemade, the Artisanal miniatures And the goal was not to like algorithm, but to have fun. With the passage of time, the rules changed: that spontaneous spirit was left behind, buried by the professionalization and new dynamics of the platforms. In 2012, Vine broke into six second clips. Although it closed in 2017 in the hands of the original Twittersowed the seed of brevity that Tiktok It would end up germinating. YouTube, although it was born with the spontaneity of homemade videos, had to adapt: In 2021 he officially launched Shorts. The evolution of miniatures But the line that separated what is YouTube from what television is blurring. Every day, in addition, more than one billion hours of content on smart televisions are seen. Neal Mohan, Executive Director of YouTube, He did not hesitate to proclaim this year: “YouTube is the new television” And not only because we watch Youtube on TV. Also because traditional televisions are uploading their programs to YouTube. From Disney+, which has published the first episodes of ‘Andor’ on the platformeven chains that already bet fully for uploading their contents to YouTube. Is YouTube the new television? The evolution of YouTube has broken all imaginable barriers. Mrbeastwhich accumulates more than 388 million subscribers, leads a generation of creators who no longer record home videos: They produce blockbusters with film budgets. Beside him, the Sidemen, Mark Rober either Doube Perfect They show how far the professionalization of the platform has arrived. In the Hispanic world, many of the youtubers mentioned above are still present. And we in Xataka have been working on Our YouTube channelalso carrying our essence the audiovisual format. Although traditional television continues to exist, access to content is no longer exclusive. Simply open YouTube to see live newssporting events, entertainment programs or debates in real time, from any device and without fixed schedules. The main streaming platforms have also embraced this transformation: services such as Netflix or Max, for example, already include live broadcasts, sports competitions and news channels. Streaming, which was born as an alternative to linear television, It begins to look more than it seemed to the traditional offer. On YouTube, The amount of ads has increased remarkably in recent yearsand some users have detected increasingly frequent and extensive advertising pauses. Max, meanwhile, He has recovered usual cable television dynamics: content packages, programmed emissions and quality limitations according to the hired plan. The initial promise of absolute freedom is blurred among more classic market strategies. The amount of ads on YouTube has increased remarkably in recent years. To celebrate their first two decades, YouTube has deployed figures that reflect To what extent it has become a colossal platform. Every day more than 20 million videos are uploaded; More than 100 million comments are published; And users click on more than 3.5 billion “Like” daily. More than 300 video clips have exceeded 1,000 million views, a club that does not stop growing. According to similar dataYouTube is the second most visited website in the world, just behind Google, with more than 20 minutes on average per visit and more than 13 pages seen in each session. Two decades after that first video in front of the elephants, YouTube not only stands up: it dominates a good part of the global traffic on the Internet. Twenty years have passed since that first video in front of the elephants.

The EU has opted her mining independence in front of China to the most unsuspected site: Extremadura

by

Extremadura recently jumped into the media by four potential rare earth deposits. Although this is a thesis at the moment without practical application, the community presents other equally valuable elements that have made the European union put their eyes on it. A valuable source. The European Commission has launched A package of 47 strategic projects, among which seven are located in Spain and three in Extremadura. This initiative is aimed at ensuring the supply of essential raw materials for the European industry, such as Lithium, Nickel and Wolframio, and avoid dependence on countries like China. The EU support for extraction in these deposits will be 22,000 million euros. The Extremadura mines. The deposits that will receive European funds are the mines of Aguablanca, Las Navas and La Parrilla. Besides. The companies at the head of these initiatives will be: Lithium Iberia, Río Narcea and P6 Metals. In particular, the Navas project will receive an investment of more than 500 million euros, According to ABCand it is one of the most ambitious farms on the continent that will have the support of electric vehicle belonging. The lithium mine of Cáceres has been out of aid Due to the local dispute on the impact of extraction on the population. As they collect in Digital Extremaduraantiminas groups like Ama Cáceres and save the mountain of Cáceres have considered that it is a victory. Two of them reopen. On the one hand, the Aguablanca mine, located south of the province of Badajoz, is the only Nickel site in all of Europe. As detailed by the countryit was closed for ten years due to the fall in nickel prices and copper. Its reopening is important for the European Union, given the growing demand for this metal for the battery industry. On the other hand, the grill mine, in Cáceres, which houses the largest Wolframium site in Europe. Although his activity was suspended in 1986, he resumed in 2019 with the exploitation of dumps. Currently, the Wolframium appears on the list of EU critical raw materials. Controversy. According to eldiario.esin the mining projects of Extremadura, entrepreneurs and financial would be involved such as Alejandro Ayala, known for its connection to Civitas and Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Martinavarro, related to the Horteofrusco sector and the venture capital, in addition to Miguel Rodríguez, owner of Festina. These entrepreneurs, together with the investment of funds such as Blackrock, would carry out the projects. The distribution of the funds. The European Union (EU) seeks with these funds to ensure its critical raw materials for the development of new technologies and reduce its dependence with external suppliers, such as China, As reported by Euronews. In addition, the commission has warned in the statement that it cannot allow lithium and other elements to become a new source of vulnerability, similar to what happened with Russian gas.

China has just resolved one of the advantages of human hunting pilots in front of AI: interpreting the unpredictable

by

There was a small redoubt in military key where “human strength” continued to be imposed on algorithms. When it comes to Air Force and the management of combat aircraft such as the Ultra Popular f-16 huntingthe pilots had an advantage that paralyzed the advance of the AI: they were unpredictable in their maneuvers. They may have the days counted. China has found how to anticipate. The end of the human advantage. In A study Published a few weeks ago, China seems to have achieved an unprecedented advance in air combat. As? By eliminating the last tactical advantage of human pilots over artificial intelligence: the ability to maneuver and high intensity to evade attacks. A team of researchers from the North -Western Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, a key branch of the Norinco Armament Gianthas developed a system that combines advanced infrared images with predictive modeling of AI to Precision anticipate movements of an opponent by detecting subtle adjustments on their control surfaces, such as ailerons and rudders. The study. The advance, detailed in a work published in December in it Journal of Gun Launch & Controladdresses a key limitation of AI systems in air combat: their dependence on trajectory -based predictions, which also fail to respond effectively to non -linear and sudden maneuvers of human pilots. The team, led by engineer Lin Zhiwei, overcame this problem by focusing on the Physical mechanics of enemy aircraftallowing AI to interpret millimeter movements on the control surfaces to predict actions before they are completed. How it works. As detailed, the system is based on the use of a modified neuronal network Yolov8the same that analyzes infrared images and Detect microdeformations In the components of the plane, such as the rudder of 1.5 meters from an F-15 or its two-meter stabilizer. These data are then processed in a long and short term memory network (LSTM) Improved with care mechanisms, which allows anticipating the pilot maneuvers in real time, without depending solely on previous flight patterns. In simulations, AI managed to reduce prediction errors less than two meters. It is no small thing, let’s think that it is an improvement of ten times with respect to traditional systems. Applied to automated anti -aircraft systems, this precision would even allow direct attacks directly to the pilot’s cabin if necessary. The test. In their study, the researchers tested the algorithm in flight profiles that They imitated real tactics fighting. In one of these scenarios, an F-15 launched ammunition at low altitude and then performed an abrupt ascent, a maneuver that requires a millimeter coordination of flight controls. In another case, the aircraft executed rapid evasions with erratic movements and sudden changes of direction. In both experiments, the AI ​​predicted the displacements Milliseconds in advancecanceling the pilot’s evasion capacity. A new chapter in the arms race. The advance comes at a key moment in the global race for the supremacy of AI in air combat. In 2020, The Alphadogfight Trials From the Advanced Defense Research Projects (DARPA) of the United States They demonstrated the superiority of AI in combat simulations. More recently, in 2024, an AI system participated in A real dogfight against a human pilot for the first time. The difference? The Chinese team emphasizes that its technology is designed to Optimize fire controlmore than to allow completely autonomous attacks. However, the principles of their AI align with international programs such as “loyal wingman” drones of the United States Air Force, which combine piloted airplanes with combat systems. Plus: The study also confirms that technology is viable with current hardware. Using Chinese manufacturing PS800 infrared sensors, which achieve a resolution of 0.375 miliradia at distances of eight kilometers, the required precision levels are reached For use in real combat. Limitations and countermeasures. Despite its advanced abilities, the system is not invulnerable, of course. One of its main weaknesses expressed by the authors themselves is the possible Interference for electronic countermeasures and optics (such as We have counted in several occasions). In other words: an adversary could use high -power lasers to blind or even destroy the infrared chambers that AI needs to detect the movements of the enemy. There is still a wide margin of improvement. The future of air combat. What seems clear is that the development of this technology represents a turning point in the Air War. Until now, human pilots had a fundamental advantage: what is not studied, the ability to Perform unpredictable maneuvers To avoid being shot down. However, with the ability of this algorithm described to read even the most subtle movements of a combat plane and predict their trajectory with millimeter precision, human pilots could be very close to losing their last tactical advantage and opportunity to overcome machines in a contest. The drones They started the change In real fighting, now it seems that the completely autonomous war is one step closer.

China performing real fire exercises in front of its coast

by

Occurred last weekbut the shock was so great that since then they have not stopped The communiqués happen With diploma doing overtime trying to find a meeting point in what happened. As in TaiwanAustralia found a situation to some excorees last Friday. Suddenly, a fleet of ships Not announced I was doing shooting practices in its waters. It was China, and since then they do not agree. The alarm Last week, a group of Three Chinese warships (A cruise of Renhai classa frigate and a supply ship) entered the exclusive economic zone of Australia Without declaring its purpose (Only 150 nautical miles from Sydney). According to Australian defense minister, Richard Marles, although he was not unpublished at all, was “unusual.” And there was more: on Friday, commercial flights between Australia and New Zealand They had to deviate Suddenly after Chinese ships alert the pilots that flew over an exercise area with real fire. Although it has not been confirmed that the shots occurred on the same day, the New Zealand Navy reported that the next day, on Saturday, Yes there was real fire activity. His Minister of Defense, Judith Collins, He expressed his concernespecially for The lack of communication by China. “Unfortunately, tensions have increased,” he said, remembering the recent launch of a ballistic missile Chinese Intercontinental in the Pacific Ocean. In addition, he admitted that they did not know the next movements of Chinese ships, which has led his government to ask for explanations from the Embassy of the Nation. The concerns. Therefore, and although China did not violate international law, the authorities of both countries have criticized publicly The lack of early warning appropriate. Not just that. The naval episode occurs a few days after an incident between a Chinese hunting and a patrol plane Australian in the South China Sea. Canberra denounced the action as “dangerous and unprofessional”, while Beijing accused Australia of provocation. The Chinese response and the reasons. The Chinese Defense Ministry He rejected the accusations Of both nations, ensuring that they issued multiple security notices in advance and accusing the Australian and Neozyn Governments of “deliberately exaggerating the incident. As for the big question, experts consider this incursion A strategic background. Michael Shoebridge, former Australian defense official, had the Washington Post This week that China seeks to press Australia for His military alliances With Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam, countries that have territorial disputes with Beijing. Plus: China is expanding its influence In the Pacific, trying to consolidate security agreements with small island nations, which worries Australia and New Zealand. In addition, the exercises also demonstrate the growing Chinese naval capacity at a time when it seeks to project more power in the region. China in the area. The presence of Chinese warships in the south of the Pacific adds to a growing militarization of the region by Beijing. In fact, in recent years it has increased His presence near Japanand has done exercises with real fire near Australia or Challenged to the United States In the South China Sea. Moreover, had in Japan Times That the naval deployment in waters east of Australia has lit the alarms in Canberra and Tokyo. According to Andrew ShearerGeneral Intelligence Director of Australia, this is the further incursion ever carried out by a group of tasks of the Navy of the Popular Liberation Army, and its objective seems to be normalizing the Chinese military presence in the region. Evaluate the allied response. It could be another of the hypotheses that some experts point out. Shearer warned That China was not only sending a message to Australia, but sought to evaluate and mold the responses of the countries of the region. According to Euan GrahamAnalyst of the Australian Institute of Strategic Policy, the Popular Liberation Army is calibrating the reactions of Australia and Japan, both key allies of the United States. “The absence of a firm response from Australia or a statement of support from Washington will only be emboldened to China to continue pressing. Its objective is to normalize its military presence in the region and find fissures between the United States and its Pacific allies,” Graham explained. What seems clearly clear is that recent naval exercises with real fire of China, now in the Sea of ​​Tasmania, have relieved tensions in the Indo-Pacific, particularly in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. Although Australia has no direct territorial disputes with China, her growing naval presence In the region, along with their alliances with the United States and other Asian powers, it seems that they look from Beijing as a challenge to their influence.
