Byd has already placed solid state batteries in their electric cars: we have good and bad news

by

If there is a technology that has been playing for years in the world of electric cars, that is that of solid state batteries. Companies like Mg They have already advanced that they are the future for the electric car to consolidate 1,000 kilometers of autonomy, Honda has opened a megaphabrica dedicated to them, and Byd just announced nearby plans to start implementing them. The Chinese company has placed when it intends to start marketing electric cars fed by this type of batteries. Spoiler: There is not too much To start enjoying them. In the second annual battery summit and solid state development of China during the last weekend, Sun Huajun, the CTO of the Byd battery business, gave relevant information about the company’s progress. {“Videid”: “X8T0ABA”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Yangwang U9 and its body control”, “Tag”: “Yangwang U9”, “Duration”: “23”} According to your statements, Byd is ready to Start marketing vehicles with solid state batteries from 2027. Between 2027 and 2029 its first phase will begin, starting from a limited production as a demonstration phase. From 2030, this production is expected to start working on a large scale, beginning to democratize mainly in its highest range vehicles. According to byd, this type of batteries are more stable, allow faster loads, and greater autonomy. In Xataka Byd hits Tesla in her great promise of the future: "Eye of God" It is your free autonomous driving system in your cars Although 2030 will be presumably the year in which this type of batteries will have more presence, the adoption will not be massive. The cost of solid state batteries remains higher than that of LFP batteries, so this second type of batteries is expected to remain alive for at least 15 years. Those of solid state will be Focused first -line products Already luxury brands of the group, as a denza or yangwang. Despite this, the objective of giants such as Catl is to achieve mass production that ends up making this type of batteries more accessible. These are the Holy Grail For the future of the electric car, and incorporating them into mass models is the next step. Image | Byd In Xataka | Byd’s growth is unstoppable.

The owner of a Tesla Model and has filled his roof of solar panels to load “up to 100 km”. It is not a good idea

by

He Solar car It’s like gold for the electric car. There, all wishes will be fulfilled: we will load our cars free of charge. End of the bonds of electric and oil forever. But we are so far from getting something like the gold appears in our lives. Different companies have proposed to experiment with the solar car and even sell their own models. Toyota, with the PRIusit filled the roof of it so that its plates would help the electrical components of the car. Mercedes, in his EQXX visionhe has played with the same idea. And, despite everything, from Sttutgart to Silverstone, a trip in which they toured more than 1,200 kilometersthey barely managed to extend the autonomy of the vehicle in less than 50 kilometers. But the Marketing From a solar car is very far. In the PRIus He contributed little. The Mercedes is a prototype designed to look for the limits of efficiency, both in aerodynamics and in chemistry of its batteries and consumption of its engines, so it is not too representative either. The 3.57 kWh recovered by the solar panels yielded much more in a vehicle of these characteristics than in a street car. Sono Zion, one of the most advanced projects, He ended up canceling. Those responsible for Lightyear, who said they were able to travel for free 70 kilometers daily with their solar car, have also ended by Lower the blind. In fact, since the vehicle was announced in 2019, its managers did not stop lowering expectations and, with them, the number of kilometers per year that the car could travel thanks to its solar panels. But all this has been no impediment to the owner of a Tesla Model and that ensures in Reddit having made your electric SUV a much more efficient vehicle thanks to some solar panels distributed along the ceiling. Figures that, of course, you have to take with tweezers. Putting it in quarantine As he has counted in a thread of Redditthis owner of a tesla model and ensures that he has designed a system of Foldable solar panels that allow you to load every day between 30 and 100 kilometers a day. In the presentation of his project, the user explains that the panels are folding and installed on the roof baca. He assures that in this first version, the panels stand out about 27 centimeters from the ceiling of the vehicle but that, in a new version in which he is working, he will reduce the height to about 15 centimeters, improve the flush and create a carbon fiber support To lighten the set. In total, the Tesla Model and can carry in the future, always according to the user, 4,000 W packaged On the roof, which once deployed can recover part of solar energy, transform it into electricity and recharge the car while it is parked. But many doubts arise here. First, he assures that He is working So that the solar energy is transformed into electric and goes directly to the car battery so, we understand, for now the energy is stored in a battery that subsequently recharges the vehicle. The other great doubt that arises is about the true efficiency of the whole. In 2019Toyota created a prototype of the PRIus that filled the entire roof, the rear window and the hood of the solar panel car. A surface that generated 860 W. With them, Toyota said he could travel some 45 extra kilometersbut they were based on the Japanese homologation cycle, much more lax than Europeans. In the case of Tesla Model and, the weight of the panels touches the maximum of 75 kg that in the United States can move on the ceiling, so it will irremediably affect consumption. First of all, those 75 kg of weight, which is more or less like going with one more person in the car. And, much more critical, for the impact on automobile aerodynamics, which would be very damaged. The creator says that he has not calculated the latter but believes that consumption worsens at 10%. All this has led some Work reviewers To affirm that the car can barely travel a little more than 40 kilometers under real circulation conditions. That without entering into the impact that the solar panels have on the dynamics of the vehicle and the march comfort, because it must be difficult to ignore the generated noise.

Siberia stays in the dark good of winter. In 1988, Russia had an idea to solve it: mirrors in space

by

Towards the end of World War II, Some documents in Life magazine They revealed one of the many ideas that Hitler’s Nazi Germany had: a kind of solar projectile through A giant orbital mirror to destroy enemies or even whole cities. Obviously that never happened, but decades later it served as a slight inspiration for a Russian scientist who started from a fascinating idea: how could we extend the hours of the day? Convert the night. The truth is that the background idea is not new. Over the years, Humanity has sought to extend the day (Understood as day and light) with technological tools, from electric light to digital communications. However, in the 1990s, a group of Russian scientists tried to take this concept to the extreme: launch huge space mirrors to reflect sunlight towards the earth and prolong the day. Vladimir Syromyatnikov. The project we are talking about was directed by Vladimir Syromyatnikovone of the most influential space engineers in historyknown by Develop the ship’s coupling mechanism which is still used at the International Space Station. During the 80s, his interest focused on The design of solar candles that could use solar radiation To propel ships through space. However, in postsoviet Russia, obtaining financing for space projects required clear economic justification. Thus, Syromyatnikov reformulated his idea and presented it as One way to illuminate Siberia’s arctic regions during the dark winter monthsincreasing productivity in agriculture and industry. Yeah, I would try to turn on the sun for the polar regions of Russia After the night fell. Image of Znamya Znamya and his brief success. In 1988, Syromyatnikov founded the Space Regata Consortiumwith the support of Roscosmos and several state companies. His motto was very clear: “Diury light all night.” The idea not only promised to reduce electric lighting costs, but also Facilitate rescue in disasters, military operations and night construction projects. The first prototype, Znamya 2, He was sent to space in February 1993 aboard the progress M-15 ship and subsequently deployed from the MIR Space Station. Once in orbit, he began to turn to deploy its reflective surface. The mirror, 20 meters in diameter, achieved the feat of Reflect a beam of light equivalent to that of a full moon, illuminating an area of ​​5 km in diameter while crossing Europe and Russia 8 km per second, even Astronauts in Mir confirmed that they could follow the flash from space. The problem? The reflected light was more diffuse than expected and difficult to controland the weather was not taken into account. Plus: The cloudiness prevented the majority of observers on land to notice. Hours later, The mirror disintegrated by re -entering the atmosphere. ZNeamya 2.5. Despite its short duration, the experiment showed that the concept was viable, which promoted Znamya 2.5 planningwith a larger mirror and the ability to maintain the beam of light on a fixed point. Thus, in 1999 this second version was launched with A 25 meter diameter mirror. This time, when deploying, one of his fine sheets became entangled in an antenna from the Progress ship, tear the structure. The attempts to free her failed and the mirror had to be exorbitantburning in the atmosphere. The next step would be Znamya 3, with a 70 -meter mirror, capable of illuminating entire cities. What happened? That The failure of Znamya 2.5 and the lack of financing buried Syromyatnikov’s project and dream. In addition, the opposition of astronomers and environmentalists grew, arguing that Space mirrors could alter natural cyclesaffect astronomical observation and confuse wildlife. A man and his tireless search for light. Despite the failure, Syromyatnikov continued looking for financing to build a permanent mirro system. We talk about An estimated project of 340 million dollars. His vision was a world where cities would not need artificial light and the days had no nights. However, investors lost interest and the project was abandoned. Syromyatnikov continued his work on coupling systems until his death In 2006, dedicating his days to work without rest, in an ironic parallelism with his obsession with eliminate The night. The legacy. If you want, that was also the end of a space “exploration.” In any case, much less the background idea is over. Today, the idea of ​​taking advantage of sunlight from space has resurfaced In the investigation of orbital solar plantsthe same as They could send energy to Earth through microwave. However, Znamya is still a reminder of the limits of technology and the need to respect natural cycles. Russia’s attempt to convert the night and enlighten Siberia in winter was both a demonstration of human ingenuity and an experiment that, in the end, crashed with the laws of nature and resistance of the modern world.

Some researchers claim to have created an AI as good as those of Openai and Deepseek for $ 50. And the data is real

by

The cost of training of models of artificial intelligence (IA) More advanced is in the spotlight. And it is understandable that it is so. The irruption of the Chinese company model Deepseekwhich presumably has A moderate training costhas questioned the strategy and investments deployed so far by OpenAi, Google or Microsoft, among other companies. A brief review before moving forward: those responsible for Deepseek argue that the infrastructure they have used to train their agglutin model 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And also that this process with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. However, some analysts defend that these figures do not reflect reality. The report prepared by SEMIANALYSIS He maintains that, in reality, the infrastructure used by Deepseek to train his AI model approximately 50,000 NVIDIA GPU with Hopper MicroAritecture. According to Dylan Patel, AJ Kourabi, Doug O’Laughlin and Reyk Knuhttsen, at least 10,000 of these chips are GPU H100 of Nvidia, and at least another 10,000 are GPU H800. The remaining chips, according to these analysts, are the cuts cut H20. The ‘S1’ model takes more firewood On January 31, a group of researchers from Stanford University and the University of Washington, both in the US, published in the repository of open access scientific articles Arxiv A text in which it claims to have managed to train an AI model with reasoning capacity and benefits comparable to those of OPENAI or DEPEEEK O1 models facing an investment of just under $ 50. A boat soon seems impossible. With that money a priori it is absolutely unfeasible to train an artificial intelligence model. And less an advanced and capable of competing from you to you with those of OpenAi or Deepseek. However, it is true. To understand how they have achieved it We need to investigate the strategy they have devised. On the one hand, those 50 dollars represent the cost of renting the cloud computing infrastructure to which they have resorted to carry out the training. It makes sense if the time invested is very moderate. ‘S1’ has been elaborated from the free qwen2.5-32b model developed by the Chinese laboratory Qwen But there is something else. Something very important. His reasoning model, which they have called S1, has been elaborated from the free artificial intelligence model QWEN2.5-32B developed by the Chinese Laboratory Qwen, alibaba. And its reasoning process is inspired by the GEMINI 2.0 Flash Thinking Google model. They have not left zero at all. An interesting note: the S1 model is available in GITHUB together with the data and code used by these scientists to train it. On the other hand, the training process lasted less than 30 minutes using only 16 NVIDIA H100 chips belonging to the cloud computing network used by these researchers. From here comes the cost of Somewhat less than 50 dollars. However, there is another data that is worth not overlooked: the S1 Reasoning Model has been generated by distillation of the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking experimental model. Distillation is, in broad strokes, an automatic learning technique that allows the knowledge base to be transferred from a large and advanced model to a much smaller and efficient. This strategy saves many resources, although it does not serve to create models from scratch. Beyond the caraded 50 dollars of cost, the really important thing is that, as we have just verified, it is possible to put to tuning models of very competitive facing a much more restrained investment than those made by the large technology companies so far.

I have tried Silbo Money, mobile payments without leaving WhatsApp. It’s like bringing cash to the mobile, for good and for the bad

by

A few weeks ago we talked about Money whistlethe Sevillian startup that integrates mobile payments in WhatsApp. Its approach is brilliant in its simplicity: instead of competing as another app, it is integrated into “the application we already use” par excellence to become our digital portfolio. The system operates inside WhatsAppwith minimal derivations to the browser. We add to our contacts and chat with a purely functional Bot. No canned responses or frustrating loops, only direct and functional interactions. The record is automatic and direct: we validate identity, we create a four -digit pin, and voila. This pin is requested when initiating a conversation or after a while of inactivity, balancing security and convenience. The registration process. The creation of the PIN is one of the processes for which Silbo sends us to the browser. Its main difference with Bizum It is structural: It works as an independent digital purse. While Bizum operates directly with our bank account, Silbo requires loading previous balance. It is moving the cash to the mobile. The loading process. This separation has two readings: An inconvenience: Add friction against Bizum. An advantage: Provides extra security when isolation from our account. The interface is pure pragmatism. It allows navigation for text commands and contextual buttons. The buttons guide the rookie, the commands speed up the expert. For example, if we write “balance” you will ask us if you show it in the chat or if you download it. If we write “Chat balance” you will show us directly. The Silbo Shares menu. A shipment of money … … and a money application (happily corresponded). By the way, the fluorine yellow that uses whistle as a brand image seemed to me somewhat strident at the beginning. After trying it, it is clear to me: it makes it easier to quickly locate the conversation with a Scroll visual. It stands out, and a lot. The most remarkable is how to take advantage of WhatsApp omnipresence. You don’t have to download another app or learn to use another interface, everything happens in a family environment. It even has a collection of Stickers Own that include messages such as “who pays rest”, perfect for using passive-agreesive tone. The withdrawal of the balance to our bank account. His challenge will be to achieve critical mass. Like whatsapp or bizum, You need adoption to be useful. Its advantage is to operate on WhatsApp, canonical in Spain. His challenge, convince users to take the step, especially considering Bizum’s current domain. In my tests I have done several operations: load balance, send money, claim it, receive it, withdraw it, consultations, etc. Everything works fluently, without complications or delays (the withdrawals take one or two days). The only real friction is the need to load previously balance. Overcome that step, the system is as natural as sending a message. Silbo optimizes more than revolutionary: take the mobile payment and simplify it by integrating it where we already live. It is pure pragmatism. Time will say if it manages to challenge Bizum.

A van full of solar panels has been circulating in Europe for four months. The result is as good as doubtful

by

The anxiety for autonomy It is still one of the great inconvenience when convincing the skeptics of the electric car. For years, manufacturers juggle the kilometers that can be traveled with a single battery charge. There are even debates on how interesting it is more interesting to increase the size of the batteries or improve recharge times. Among those juggling has been tested with solar panels as a solution to problems. An option that until now does not seem to have given the expected results but that some German researchers point out as an interesting solution to win up to 30% autonomy. What is behind this study? A solar van that promises 30% more autonomy The use of solar energy for the battery recharge of a car and the increase in its autonomy has been studying for a long time. In fact, in 2022 the Lightyear 0an electric car with solar panels that promised to extend autonomy in 70 kilometers every day. Just over a year later, the company itself announced that closed its vehicle division And that, from now on, he would stay with the only thing that seemed to have a future: his solar panels. Its history is the best example of how everything that has to do with the application of solar panels seems to work in cars. Promises of increases of dozens of kilometers of autonomyinterest is generated, it is proven that the system is not so much and ends up falling into oblivion. In an electric car, the space to incorporate solar panels is very small. It can be done on the roof, on the hood and in the trunk. However, the surface is relatively small, the curved shapes of the pieces make the solar sheets that can be incorporated and, as if that were not enough, the results are little encouraging. In fact, the Mercedes Vision EQXXthat the German company uses for its leading tests with the electric car, barely recovered 43 kilometers on a trip that lasted more than 1,200 kilometers thanks to its solar panels. The company, however, is sure that the system can be interesting and The last thing he has tried is a solar paint with which they ensure that they can suppose up to 12,000 additional kilometers per year in a medium SUV and in the light conditions of Germany. Mercedes points out that the efficiency of the system is 20% but has not confirmed what price we are talking or when they expect to be commercially available. At the moment, everything is still part of more research. Which, on the contrary, affirms the study by the Gauss Center for Supercomputing EV and the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy, published in Wiley It is that a light commercial vehicle can take performance to this technology. They base their studies on a project that began in 2021. Then, they filled the body of a small van and analyzed the energy recovered between the months of April and July of that year in Hannover. According to its results, the van I could have traveled 530 km from the 1750 km circulated. That is, 30% of the total distance. However, you have to take several things into account. The van left every morning early (5:00 am) to Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin (ISFH). There, the car was detained for hours until the working day was over and the driver returned home touring, again, the approximate 45 minutes it took to his work. They ensure that with this system the van was able to take advantage of more than 60% of the recovered energy and that, in total, extended its autonomy by 30%. However, in the study it is clear that they are estimates in which the energy recovered by the regenerative braking has been discriminated against, for example. They also point out that the tests were performed in the spring and summer months, where the incidence of sunlight is much greater. But, above all, there is a great but: we are talking about a commercial vehicle that spent hours and hours detained and, in addition, strategically positioning to obtain the greatest possible radiation over time. In this way, they reduced shade areas and less efficient areas. Of course, this is not the way of working that is expected of a commercial vehicle that makes much more moved days and that travels much more than 31.25 kilometers recorded in each session. In motionit is expected that the energy collected by the solar panels will be much lower because the shadow periods on the vehicle and the plates are less exposed in their best position. In addition, if the commercial vehicle moves in an urban environment, it is very likely that the shadow areas will increase. Nor is the cost that this system can have. It is possible that in a commercial vehicle it may make more sense than in a tourism but we would have to study the added weight, the increase in temperature inside the cabin and, subsequently, how long the car would need by plugging it into a fast charger (and its cost) to estimate whether or not it really makes sense.

Cooperate for your good: why the clash with Petro is a Trump message for all world leaders

by

Image source, EPA Photo foot, The Trump government made Petro accept the terms of the deportations of migrants to Colombia. Article information Author, Anthony Zurcher Author’s title, BBC News 4 hours Less than a week after assuming the presidency, Donald Trump generated his first international tariff dispute. And the objective was not China, Mexico or Canada, frequent whites of its anger, but Colombia, one of the closest allies in the United States in South America. The crime of Colombia was to refuse to allow the landing of two American flights that transported deported migrants because they were military and non -civil planes. That seems to have been enough for Trump to release the hammer. “We will not allow the Colombian government to violate its legal obligations regarding the acceptance and return of the criminals who forced to enter the United States,” Trump published in his social media site. In addition to the 25% tariffs they offered to impose, Trump said that the United States would introduce a travel ban and would “immediately” revoke the visas to Colombian government officials, as well as their allies and supporters. At the last hours of Sunday, however, the Petro government announced that it had overcome the “Impasse“With the White House and declared that he would accept to receive migrants deported by the United States. During his first week in office, the US president seemed to prioritize migration executive measures over commercials, even if the latter were a key campaign promise. To emphasize that point, for the first time the president used tariffs to punish a country that, in his opinion, did not support the new hard line migratory policies of the United States. On a day when Trump had no planned public appearances (he is in his Miami resort, after having played golf in the morning), the president decided to give an example with Colombia. And with this, Trump is sending a warning to the allies and the adversaries of the United States equally: if they do not cooperate with the United States, the consequences will be severe. Image source, COURTESY OF THE WHITE HOUSE Photo foot, The White House published images of deported migrants in military aircraft. Work with other countries Although finally the Petro government accepted the terms of deportations after the president criticized his American counterpart in social networks, incoming officials have indicated that the United States immigration policy will require looking beyond the border with Mexico. The Trump candidate for Undersecretary of State, Christopher Landau, has long sustained that “working with other countries to stop those migratory flows” must be a “global imperative of US foreign policy.” However, Sunday’s dispute could make work together. Every year, tens of thousands of migrants from around the world, from India to China, go to the United States after landing in South America and traveling through the Darién cap, a key point in the north of the border with Colombia , and share with Panama. It is a dangerous trip, in which migrants usually face the presence of criminal gangs. Image source, Reuters Photo foot, The intersection of migrants for the Darién plug is a sensitive issue of discussion between Colombia and the US. United States retaliation measures could make Trump government work with Colombia on this issue. Petro alluded to this in his response to Trump’s actions, pointing out that if conversations about migration management through Darién are suspended, “illegal activities will increase.” These comments could be interpreted as an evening threat that more undocumented migrants will come. Petro hastened to say that his country would not reject the deported Colombian citizens of the United States, only that they should receive a “dignified treatment.” He even offered the use of his presidential plane as a means of alternative transport. However, the Colombian president was forced to accept the terms of deportations, after retracting in his position to respond to the United States with the implementation of tariffs similar to American products imported to Colombia. Although it was a Sunday of great drama, this sudden diplomatic confrontation was resolved. In any case, tariffs are proof of will. And Trump showed that this would be just his first movement.

Getting an infusion with olive leaves sounds very good and healthy. Science has much more doubts about it

by

Olive oil is a fundamental ingredient In the Mediterranean diet. Spain is one of the great producers That, for years, he focused on being a large world producer of consumer oil, Leaving Italy The high ranges. That changed a few months agobut of course: in addition to olive or olives, we have to talk about by -products, Like the bone or the leaves. With them, we can make infusions, buy bread with embedded leaves and in the herbalists and brands Its multiple benefits are cited. But science is not done alone, and researchers have tested these properties of olive leaf infusions. Oleuropein. All those supposed benefits of the infusions of the olive leaf come from the hand of an antioxidant called oleuropein. This is the majority phenolic component of the pulp of green olives and is the one that gives a certain bitter taste in extra virgin olive oils. It turns out that it is also a main component of the olive leaves. In 2011 a study and it was stated that this antioxidant could show antifibrotic and anti -inflammatory effects. The interesting thing is that the oleuropein concentration depends on the color of the leaf: the greener, the more oleuropein it contains, so the leaves collected in spring have higher levels compared to those collected at another time of the year. The studies. These properties such as antioxidant have led us to consume the infusion sheets, but … are they really safe and healthy? In The Conversation we can see two recent studies. One of them, of 2022, combined data from 12 experimental studies in which 819 people participated, concluding that the olive leaf extract (managed in capsules with dose of between 500 milligrams and 5 grams during periods of six to six 48 weeks) improved heart disease risk factors and reducing blood pressure.
