The future will be full of robots, says Nvidia. And just launch a tools to win that race

by

The event GTC 2025 Nvidia began yesterday with an inaugural talk in which Jensen Huang machine -gunned us with a real Building burst. Among them, especially those focused on an area in which the company is especially optimistic: robotics. Foundational model. In March 2024 NVIDIA He already told us about his Project Grootand now said project has crystallized in the call Isaac Gr00t N1which qualify as the first open foundational model for humanoid robots. That is to say: the model is pretended, but it can be customized for all types of scenarios, both “domestic” and industrial. “The era of generalist robotics is here”. Huang declared how this new era began with this launch, and pointed out that thanks to Isaac Gr00t N1 and new data generation systems and learning for robots, developers can create much more capable robots. Robotic labor. The CEO of Nvidia highlighted how “it is very likely that this is the largest industry of all. At the end of this decade, at least 50 million workers will miss in the world. We would be more delighted to pay $ 50,000 to each one to come to work; we will probably have to pay the robots 50,000 dollars a year (instead).” Humanoid robots in sight. In The last part of your presentation Two and a half hours, the Nvidia CEO focused precisely on robotics, and for example showed videos of humanoid robots Neo gamma of the company 1x, which are based on Isaac Gr00t N1 and that already show their Potential as domestic robots. Other companies like Boston Dynamics –Creators of Atlas-, Quesoe Robotics and Neura Robotics are also developing this type of robots and have enjoyed preliminary access to the Nvidia robotic platform. Think quickly, think slowly. This foundational model uses a double architecture inspired by human cognition. Thus, system 1 is “a fast thinking action model” similar to what humans have with reflexes and intuition. System 2, enhanced by a vision model, is “a model of slow thought” that reasons about its environment and the instructions he receives and then raised his actions. Learning to move. This model therefore raises a pillar to develop robots (humanoids or not) that can operate in the real world. Thus, GR00T N1 can generalize and adapt to common tasks such as taking objects, moving them with one or two arms or carrying them from one place to another. Basic and limited operations are at the moment, but they are an important first step for the robots of the future. Basically these robots are learning to walk. A customizable model. Nvidia offers large information so that developers can start working with this model. Thus, we have both the Technical information Like project files available in Github. And data to train robots. Robots need huge amounts of data to be trained and learn to interact in the physical world. Nvidia ACBA to offer A huge and available data set in Hugging Face for this area. They are 15 TB of data that represent “more than 320,000 trajectories for robotic training”, in addition to 1,000 “scenarios” Scene Description (Openusd) to contribute to that training. Collaboration with Disney and Deepmind. Another of the robotic projects is the alliance with these companies to develop Newtonan Open Source physics engine that allows robots to learn how to manage tasks of all kinds with greater precision. Disney will be one of the first to use these robots, and in fact Huang finished the demo with a unique co -presenter: a robot that he called Blue and that was inspired by the BDX droids of Star Wars. It is something that Disney already pointed out years agoand it is likely that this type of entertainment robots will end in their attraction parks.

Austin has managed to lower the price of housing in full world crisis. One of your keys: build a lot

by

It doesn’t matter if it is the US, Europe or Asia. Where there is a tensioning real estate market, with upward prices and families forced to spend more than advisable In your rent or mortgages the question is always the same: how to lower prices or at least moderate them? Is there a formula that allows cutting the ascending spiral of €/m2? In Austin, Texas, they have succeeded. And to a large extent the key has been a clear commitment to the construction of new housing. The full photo, yes, is much more complicated. What do the figures say? That Austin, capital of Texas, the Tenth city With more US population, it has managed to reduce the cost of their home. It arrives with checking some sources to check. According to UNLOCKS MLS, in January the average sale price in Austin’s metropolitan area was 4.7% lower a year ago while the national trend at the close of 2024 was the opposite, with a price increase 6%. Redfin also confirms an interannual decrease 3.1%in the price of the square meter (m2). News Week It has echoed some luxury residences of the city that have strongly reduced their prices. In August He spoke of an average drop of 7.23% in the prices of the new constructions, with some properties reduced to 31.33%. In January he cited a mansion that had reduced its price 50% And in February he cited a similar case with a decrease 30%. Why is it important? In general, experts who analyze the Austin real estate market speak, if not drop in prices, yes at least of “stability”. What is not bad if two factors are taken into account. First, what The latest data From the Federal Financing Agency (FHFA) show the cost of the house has risen on average in the US, with a 4.5% rise between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the same period of 2023. The second key is that the last falls connect with those already registered in recent months. Just a year ago Wall Street Journal (WSJ) He informed That, if compared to the maximum values ​​reached in 2022, prices had fallen in Austin more than 11%. No other US metropolitan area has seen the house more cheaper during those years. As for the rental cost, the newspaper pointed to a 7% drop in just one year, again a record fact on the US urban map. Today it is estimated that they are already lower 22% to those of August 2023. Is there more data? Yes. Months later, at the beginning of autumn, Business Insider He put the thermometer again to the capital of the capital of Texas and found that housing prices had fallen even more clear with respect to 2022 peaks. At that time the Freddie Mac company placed the drop by 14% and Zillow in 18%. It may sound like a catastrophe for the real estate market, but the truth is that, despite these falls, the prices of houses and apartments in Austin were maintained above the levels prior to the pandemic. A year ago Moody´s calculated that were still 35% higher than what would be expected by the local economy and the most recent analyzes of Redfin either NORADA They corroborate that today the M2 in the Texan capital is still more expensive than in 2019. And what is the cause? Better talk about causes, in the plural. If Austin has managed to cut the price escalation of his real estate market and that the houses and apartments are cheaper is thanks to a sum of factors in which the commitment to new promotions is combined, the overconstructionthe increase in mortgage loans and the demographic dynamics of the city. To understand it, it is necessary to go back a few years ago, to A very different scenario in which prices grew at a good pace. What period do we go? To the last decade and the years prior to the pandemic, when the promoters and buyers of Austin faced a very different panorama: an escalation of prices that, according to Some estimatesled to the average cost of an house in the metropolitan area increased by 63% in a decade, from 2010 to 2020. WSJ It goes further And it points to an increase of 60% in just a couple of years, just during the pandemic, far exceeding the increase in income. These percentages are explained above all for one reason: the imbalance between supply (scarce) and demand (high). After the financial crisis of 2008, housing construction had been placed while the Austin area stood out at the national level for the growth of its population: 33% in a matter of a decade. Only between 2020 and 2022 his census office scored A 5.3% rise. The reason for that boom? Among others and dynamics of the pandemic apart, the commitment of companies such as Oracle, Tesla or Elon Musk himself and Your interest For the Texan State. That there were large companies making the bags to move to Austin was no accident. Beyond its environment, it was attractive at the regulatory and tax level. The problem is that this growth further brushed the real estate market, making prices fire. And how did the city answer? Building. A lot. Lot. And fast. Texas It usually presumes From its construction sector and in Austin it took muscle. Animated by demand, upward prices and changes at the regulatory level That they made the promoters easier, the Texan capital saw how its market entered into boil. It arrives with review some data to understand it. Only between 2020 and 2022 plans for tens of thousands of new homes of all kinds. Business Insider Remember that if in 2022 more than 3,000 new properties each month came to the market, the following year the figure already exceeds 5,000. It is estimated that Austin’s housing park gave a stretch of More than 8% In a few years, including both single -family houses and apartment and … Read more

China intimidates in nuclear fusion. The construction of its own iter advances at full speed

by

The way to a destiny as challenging as the nuclear fusion Commercial must necessarily be full of small conquests. Of achievements that may seem modest, but that, in reality, are milestones that place us a little closer to an ambitious goal that does not pursue anything other than help us solve our energy needs without continuing to emit greenhouse gases. In this context Iter monopolizes much of attention. And it is understandable that it is so. After all, it is a project with a huge wingspan, which is also led by the European Union. In fact, this organization is assuming together approximately 50% of the total cost of a plan in which the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and South Korea also participate. However, the commitment of public origin for nuclear fusion is not condensed only in Iter. And it is not limited only to the European Union. Not much less. Europe is pointing Very important scientific milestonesbut there are other countries that are also being very high, and that, precisely, do not move in the orbit of the West. In fact, two of them, probably the most outstanding, are China and South Korea. The Chinese experimental reactor CFETR is extraordinarily promising China that, as we have seen, actively participates in Iter’s tuning, has been engaged in the development of an experimental nuclear fusion reactor for several years at least as ambitious as the latter. It’s called CFETR (Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor), A denomination that we can translate as a test reactor for Chinese fusion engineering. The engineers of the country led by Xi Jinping completed their conceptual design in 2015 taking as a starting point the Chinese fusion reactors East, HL-2a (M) and J-Text. The experts of the commission that certifies nuclear facilities have approved the first section of the vacuum chamber CFETR has much in common with Iter. In fact, it aspires to complement the machine that is being built in the French town of Cadarache, and, at the same time, it is nourished by the knowledge generated during the design and development of Iter. Anyway The construction of the CFETR reactor It is already underway. And advances at a very good pace. In fact, just two days ago the experts of the Chinese commission that certifies the nuclear facilities gave the final approval to the first section of the reactor vacuum chamber. This is the gigantic component that we can see in the cover photography of this article. The CFETR reactor vacuum chamber will consist of seven other sections such as this, will have a height of 20 meters and will be made of stainless steel of very low carbon content. Inside, fusion reactions between the deuterium and tritium nuclei will occur that will be magnetically confined in a plasma that will exceed 100 million degrees Celsius. The most interesting thing is that this machine will operate in two phases. During the first of them, he will prove that he is able to generate up to 200 MW of energy, as well as sustain a tritium production ratio greater than 1. This simply means that will produce more tritio than consumeso he will be able to self -abuse from this radioactive hydrogen isotope. During the second phase of operation, the CFETR reactor will pursue more than 1 GW of power, so it will become a demonstration machine that, if everything goes well, will be happened by the first commercial fusion energy plants.

The swamps are so full for the rains of March that some face something unprecedented: unwind for the first time

by

For a good part of the twentieth century, storms in the Borbonne Valley were terrible. In 1970, the river overflowed, flooded La Vega and blocked the daily life of the region for weeks. Throughout that decade, The creation of a reservoir began, the Alcorlowhich forced evacuate locations and placed its spillway a few 700 meters from the town of San Andrés del Congosto. Since the dam was closed in 1979, I had never had to take a water to avoid overflow. Until today. What happened in the center of Spain? Although most of the attention has been taken the south, Jana has watered (and much) The entire area of ​​the central system. So much so that, during the weekend, numerous municipalities of the Henares Corridor and La Alcarria have received notices from 112 due to the possibility that the Tajo Hydrographic Conference will land a whole series of swamps from the provinces surrounding the central system. Pálmatos, Beleña and La Tajera They have already been relieved Water over the weekend and three others were about to do so. Among them, Alcorlo’s because, as he said, throughout his history, he had never had to release water before. Nervousness in the Alcarria. The mayor of San Andrés has been expressing her concern all weekend. And, although he acknowledges that the town has never come to flood (“never in its history is aware of any event of this type“),” It looks like a small sea. We had never seen it that way and it impresses see it “, The Gil Consul said in the Digital of Castilla – La Mancha. I also recognized feeling “Chills and fear” for the impact that the flood can have in the municipality. It was not disenchanted because, in the last hours, about 50 people have moved to avoid risks. The domino effect. However, the main problem will not be given in the headwaters of the rivers where these reservoirs are: The problem is downstream. The Castilla Operational Control Center – La Mancha has warned that all that unpacked water will go on the Alberche River. The province of Guadalajara and, by exemption, the entire main branch of the Tagus is preparing for that water coup (that a channel as mistreated as this will thank). And it’s not something isolated. As Álvaro Oliver explained“On just 8 days of March, in the port of Navacerrada it has rained/snowy which usually falls in the 3 months of spring. In 8 days what usually falls in 90 days. 13 times more than usual in the first week of March.” It is raining a lot. It is raining more than some sites can manage comfortably. Mission: Take advantage of each drop of water. A key factor that makes all this special rain is that it comes from Atlantic storms. That is, it normally drains into the areas where we have the reservoirs and that allows us to take advantage of it much more than we can take advantage of the water from the danas. So now we return to the start box: What do we do with all this water? How do we prepare for a summer that, if it fits the trend, will return the ghost of the drought? And again, we return to one of the key problems of our country: that We still don’t order Water resources in a responsible way and with a view to the future. Image | LBM1948 | ASQUELADD

launch an unlimited chatgpt and full of advertising

by

Google taught the world that extraordinary income could be achieved offering free products. During the last quarter of the century he has exploited conscientiously The famous “If you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.” He has offered fantastic services (Gmail, Maps, Search, YouTube) for free, but with a big condition: in them collect information and shows ads. Users have compensated us, and despite whom, despite the privacy included – most have ended falling into their nets. Many companies do the same and offer at least free or cheaper versions of their services if we accept that ads (Spotify, Netflix) are shown, but curiously the world of AI does not just adopt that model. In fact, OpenAI raises a classic freemium model: The free version of Chatgpt allows access to some of its functions, but only in a limited way. You can ask a certain number of questions a day and you will not have access to their experimental or more advanced models and functions (Operator) or, if you have it, it will be almost testimonial (Deep Research). To “unlock” those capabilities touches to pay, and Sometimes it’s time to pay a lot. Arriving before anyone with chatgpt and improving it constantly has worked. OpenAI already has 400 million weekly active users, a 33% increase on the figure they had just three months ago. Chatgpt has managed to be “the AI ​​of the town”, which is the same as Google with its search engine, but Google ended up deciding that to continue growing the ideal was to offer a free service for users but full of ads. The question is whether that will end up going with AI. The question is no longer so much if we will see intercalated ads in our conversations with the chatbots, but when we will see them. Some believe that is inevitable. Perplexity was one of the first to raise that possibilityand the question is no longer so much if we will see intercalated ads in our conversations with the chatbots, but when we will see them. That is precisely what Ben Thompson also states In Stratecherystating that OpenAi “has moved too slowly: At this point the company should have a version with advertising (…) Openai is very interested in offering free users the best models from the point of view of competition and being profitable, and that means advertising. “ That’s how it is. As happened with Google, offering a complete, free and advertisement product is the almost inevitable path for OpenAi (and for its competitors) because it is the form (perhaps the only one, as Thompson argues) to conquer the world and all those users who want Use those options, but without paying them. And there are many, as Google has demonstrated with its platforms. Thompson explains that offering a free version with advertisements “maximizes the market to which it can be directed, and at the same time allows continuously increasing user income.” But that does not mean that Openai You cannot or will not have premium subscriptionsand in fact like any other company in this sector, combining advertising with subscriptions is the clear model for consumer content companies. On another level, of course, there will be companies. Google offers subscriptions such as Google One (more aimed at individuals) and Google Workspace, more companies oriented. In it includes things such as business email accounts, storage, business support and special controls: it is a twist on its free services, but it is a return without advertising and very thought for companies. OpenAi could apply the same story. He is already doing it with his Pro, Teams and Enterprise plans, who are precisely aimed at those business environments and will continue to make sense. And yet They have a golden opportunity To conquer many more users. One that, we want it or not, is full of ads. We will see if they do. In Xataka | There are too many AI models. That raises a true death sentence for Anthropic and Claude

ETNA is more than one of the volcanoes more active and high from Europe. It is also a tourist claim. One that seems to work especially well when, as these days, it offers a fascinating show that mixes A lava river, snow, ashessteam and smoke columns. The power of his eruption has attracted hundreds of visitors And curious, leaving a flood of people who already supposes a headache for the authorities. The reason, simple: they have reached Block the tracks They need to operate rescue services. It is nature … and it is Tourist. The Etna volcano, under the spotlights. The Italians have been pending Etna for more than a week, the volcano located on the east coast of Sicily and one of The most active from Europe. His activity intensified days ago, with A fracture of the Crater of Bocca Nuova, and has left a succession of Explosions and lava flows They have spread through the mountain, forming an extensive lava river. Volcanic activity also affects communities. Yesterday the Catania airport, south of Italy, He informed that its air traffic was still altered. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A coveted show. The eruption of the Etna volcano can be overwhelming, but also leaves a Fascinating show in which snow and lava are combined. And as such it has not taken the interest of hikers who have approached the mountain to enjoy the landscape. It He reported yesterday ANSA, the main Italian news agency, which already presents Etna directly as the “new focus of encompassing” For a long time Italy. A tide of hikers.

Weddings have fallen to historical minimums in full divorce boom

by

Although His efforts, tax advantagesyou aid, incentives And even his effort for campaign In favor of love and marriages, China is not able to solve what seems to be its Great Achilles heel: Demography. 2024 closed with a Very light rebound of births, but not even that prevented the country from losing population due to Third consecutive year. As if that were little Beijing recorded two data that darkens its horizon: a descent pronounced in marriages and an increase in divorces. Apart from its impact on the country’s demographic pyramid, the figures tell us about something else: the speed (and clarity) with which Chinese society is being transformed. Weddings, in minimal. The figures who has just revealed the Ministry of Civil Affairs leave little margin for interpretations: in China The nuclear family loses weight. And at a good pace. In 2024, 6.1 million couples were given ‘yes in the country, nefarious fact for three reasons. The first is that it supposes 20.5% less that in 2023. The second is that Mark The historical minimum In official statistics, which start in 1986. In other words, never so few couples had passed through the altar in the Asian giant. At least throughout the last 38 years. Is it a novelty? At all. And that is the third reason why the link data is a headache for Beijing: it results in A trend that the Chinese authorities observe For a long time. 2024 is not the first year in which ‘click’ the bridal statistics. On the contrary. Break with the very brief wedding rebound in 2023 and takes up a downward trend that dates back to 2013. The bad fact of recent months allows us to think that the increase in marriages of 2023 was basically fruit that many couples who had had to postpone their weddings because of their weddings because of Pandemia. After all, 6.1 million links may seem like many, but they do not even half of those nearby 13 million marriages that were recorded in the country 12 years ago. Wedding Question … and Divorcios. It’s not just that less couples get married. The thing is They separate more. In his case the trend is not so clear; but that the ruptures increase (even slightly) while weddings fall to mark a historical minimum aggravates Beijing’s concerns. Throughout 2024 they requested the dissolution of their marriage 2.6 million of couples, which represents 28,000 more that in 2023. The data is interesting in itself, but it is even more significant in its context. Divorces do not grow without more. They do it despite the efforts of the Chinese authorities to achieve the opposite: Create couples, Promote marriages and even slow down the separations. Since January 2021 the Chinese cannot be divorced without more. The law forces them to go through A “reflection” period Of 30 days, a period that begins to run after the request for separation and during which any of the parties can be back, which puts the counter again. And why that effort? This graph Statista helps to understand the effort of the Chinese authorities for fostering marriages: over the last years the birth rate and the link seems to go hand in hand, both downstairs. The CNN chain remember In addition, social norms and even government regulation complicate that Chinese couples who have not married have children. And diminishing birth is one of the great challenges ahead of Beijing, just as it is For Tokyo either Seoul. “A demographic Achilles heel”. During An interview Recent with Reuters, Yi Fuxian, demographer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke directly of the “Demographic Achilles heel” of China and warned that if the country fails to correct its birth crisis, you can see “ruined” their “political political ambitions and economic “. After all, birth has a clear economic, social and political drift and faces China to the complicated perspective of facing A aged futurewith hundreds of millions of pensioners throughout the country. Data tyranny. It may seem exaggerated, but the data is clear. After growing at a good pace For decadesChina entered a first phase in which its population He stagnated to which he has followed, already in recent years, another stage of clear decrease. In 2022 the country registered Your first loss of inhabitants since the 1960s and in the last triennium he has maintained the negative sign. Not just that. The country has seen how It was reduced The active population, between 16 and 59, while the elderly increased. Beyond birth. Chinese statistics do not tell us only a birth crisis. In a way they show deep changes at the social level, reflecting a country in which marriages lose weight, divorces and young people increase simply They prioritize other aspects of his life. “Energy is limited, so I eliminate what exhausts me most. The first? The quotes,” I confessed recently to South China Morning Post Owen Cao, a 22 -year -old Chinese who combines his first postgraduate course with responsibilities at the student club and his hobbies. A (brief) demographic relief. Chinese authorities have deployed a ambitious measures battery To reverse the situation that includes tax advantages for couples, better health care to pregnant women and even promoteIn classrooms the importance of couples and motherhood. In 2024 the country registered 9.54 million birthsmore than the 9.02 million of 2023, but still its population descended and there is doubt about how much of that increase responds to the influence of COVID and beliefs on The Dragon Year. The fall in the number of marriages to historical minimums does not paint a flattering future.
