They improve wine quality

by

The agrevoltaic I was already gaining ground as THE GREAT PROMISE OF THE FIELD and renewable energy. What we did not know was that it can also improve wine. Short. The Svolta, a winery in the Italian region of Puglia, has discovered that integrating agrevoltaic systems into the vineyards can mitigate some of the effects of climate change, delay the maturation of grapes and Improve wine quality. In addition, it has allowed them to cultivate grape varieties that are not typical of the region, not to mention the economic and environmental benefits when saving water and producing solar energy in the same land where the vine is cultivated. A huge agreglyst installation. The project is called AGRIVOLTAIC VIGNA DI COMMUNITà and has 7,770 solar panels of thin double -union film. Among all, they add up to 970 kW output power. Solar panels are oriented south at an angle of 28 degrees. They rest on a concrete structure, inspired by the typical pergola of the Italian vineyards. The vine grows below, protected from wind and heat waves. The secret is in the shadow. The shadow projecting the solar panels has been delaying the harvest of the Svolta of three to four weeks, with respect to the surrounding vineyards. Both for the white grape and for the ink grapes. Last year, the Agrivoltaic Vigna Di Community completed the harvest at the end of August, weeks after other vineyards did. How it affects the quality of wine. The lower exposure to the sun slows the accumulation of sugars in the grapes, which improves the balance between the alcoholic degree and the acidity in fermentation. According to the SVOLTA, this allows to elaborate high quality wines without the need for corrective interventions. The agrivoltaic system improved the water stress of the plants, protected the meteorological excess grapes and reduced the wind speed in half, compared to the open field. The winery did technical studies that show a reduction in water consumption for irrigation of up to 20% and an increase in land performance between 20% and 60%. Experimentation continues. The Svolta has cultivated more than 30 varieties of vine, mainly native to Puglia. In April, The winery presented Primitive wines, Falanghina and Traminer, among which a foamy white grapes highlighted, for which the agrivoltaic system has been particularly beneficial.

Ryanair has a professional “trapamaletas” template. And it will improve their rewards so that they yield (even more)

by

Ryanair’s hand luggage policy is crystalline: they want you to pay for him. The company is making all possible efforts so that either trips without a suitcase or, on the contrary, you pay for it before entering the plane. And he has had an idea: bonus his best employees. “We will catch you” This is how Michael O’Leary, CEO of the company, its intentions regarding hand luggage has summarized. Words have collected them BBC and in them he directly points to the client whom he accuses of “not complying with the rules.” Therefore, it launches a message if you are thinking that you can climb to one of its planes without paying the extra for the hand suitcase: “We will catch you and hope to reward and bonate our staff to choose those large bags.” More money. A few weeks ago We knew that Ryanair rewards employees that discover the largest number of travelers who try to climb their aircraft with too large hand suitcases. The company has been rewarding 1.5 euros for each “captured” suitcase. The maximum bonus that a worker could receive was 80 euros. Now, that will change. The company will continue to press. According to the British media and as confirmed to us to Xataka The company itself, Ryanair will raise the prize to 2.5 euros per suitcase. But, in addition, it removes the top of the 80 euros that the wage earning could receive. “Large”. What O’Leary refers to “those large bags” is a suitcase with which you can travel in cabin with many other companies. However, Ryanair prevents the plane from traveling to those who travel with a bag that exceeds 40 x 30 x 20 cm, since the company has slightly expanded the allowed measures. This size barely leaves space for a small backpack. In fact, they are so meager that they have ended create your own market niche. In the event that you want to travel with a “cabin” suitcase, you have to go through the box. The ideal is to do it hiring the supplement When taking out the ticket because, of not doing so, The surcharge at the counter is 55 euros. “Without a suitcase”. Ryanair CEO has defended on several occasions that its great goal is that passengers move “without a suitcase”. It ensures that all weight added to the plane implies greater fuel consumption and, therefore, that the expense in it does not compensate for the transfer of suitcases. In fact, he said that “I don’t want the money” of those billing. We explained in Xataka That, despite O’Leary’s word, the truth is that the suitcase is still fundamental in the company’s income. Ryanair is not explained without all expenses associated with the ticket price. The company catches you with a very small price that you will only pay in very specific situations. It travels cheaper than with other companies but, when you add expenses, it is not much cheaper than in other similar flights. A constant fight. The luggage soap opera is being especially relevant in Spain. Last year, the Ministry of Consumer It imposed a historical fine to Ryanair of more than 100 million euros. Along the way, Other companies also received sanctions Low Cost like Vueling or Easyjet, among others. That decision was a bomb in the Spain-Ryanair relationship. Since then, and with Aena’s rates as another reason to define its strategy, The company has taken up to 800,000 squares of regional airports, leaving seriously injured to aerodromes Like Valladolid’s. Now, Keep threatening with taking out another million places from similar size cities. Is it legal? There are two scenarios that we must contemplate. Spain. If we talk about our country, the truth is that justice has proved both Ryanair and employees who have denounced these practices. In the first case, some magistrates defend that the company does not have defined the minimum measures it has to offer and that, as the client accepts conditions with the purchase of the ticket, are obliged to comply or accept surcharges. The magistrates who defend the position of consumers point out that the regulations speak of “essential luggage.” That same position is what the government wields to fine the company. In this case, it is assured that in the measures proposed by Europe There is no place for that “essential” In hand luggage and, therefore, the company is breaking. Europe. At the moment, the position of European justice is about to be resolved. The company’s CEO said just a few days ago in which they were optimistic about the possible fine that could fall from Spain. It is based, perhaps, on the Last movements that have been registered from Europe. The institutions seek a new passenger regulation and it begins to be intuit that finally We will have minimal measures For hand luggage for all companies. But, yes, These measures are very aligned with those offered by Ryanair. It is no accident That the company has chosen this summer, when the European process is underway, the change in its hand luggage policy. The movement reads as a wink to regulators.

Prompt 2: It generates an image that shows what would happen if this character trips. Here, you can see that in the initial prompt we have reused a design that we have already mentioned before, that of the cat. This is so that you know that within the same chat, and even having created several images, you can mention a concrete to reuse it.

How to improve your Tinder profile using artificial intelligence

by

Let’s explain How to improve your Tinder profile wearing artificial intelligencewith several tips that you can also use in other similar appointments applications. Because we all like to cause good impression, and in this type of apps extra help can always be welcome. We are going to start by giving you several previous tips and telling you things to take into account before starting. But then, we will divide the ways in which you can help you from AI in three parts, one that is about your photographs, another about your biography and another on the chats themselves. Before starting, things to take into account Before starting with the work to improve your profile using AI, it is convenient to take into account some tips. For a start, Keep authenticity above all. It is very good to want to make your profile better, but if you do things like putting a photo taken by AI or too formal texts, you run the danger of causing more rejection than attraction. Given this, everything is about Use AI to show your best versionand not to invent another person or personality. Do not alter personal traits or present yourself with another way of being, because if you start talking to someone these things will be noticed right away. With this, you must remember that if you use AI to improve a photo with its sharpness or its light, or to cut it or make a funny assembly without the intention of going through you, it is worth. But if you modify your features, factories impossible scenarios or try to pass a false image by real, you will only generate distrust. Be careful with privacy In the event that it is something that worries you a lot. All the photos and data that you raise to an AI to modify them can be stored on the servers, so it is convenient not to upload very sensitive content. In addition, use only photos of yours so that, even if you modify them, they cannot report you for using other people’s content. Choose and improve your profile photos You can use it to help you improve your profile picture in Tinder. To start, the application has a tool called Selector Photowhich uses its own artificial intelligence and specifically trained to look in your photo reel and find those images that you consider better or more attractive. In addition to this, both Android and iOS have small artificial intelligence options in their photographic applications that will help you improve the image, Delete unwanted elementsor optimize colors. In the event that you have a photo that you consider very good, but that for some reason it has come out a little blurred or little clear, you can also Use AI to improve it. In these cases, you can use services such as Remini or others of Restoration by Ia To improve them. Maybe you can also use chatgpt to create an image from your photo, since you can get it maintaining your face proportions. However, Do not use this image as the mainbut it is simply better to use it within your photo collection to contribute a fun spark, especially if you appear doing something you like and do not pretend to be a realistic image. Finally, there are also some tools such as Photofeelerwhich are used to Give yourself a feedback on which of your photos are better. It is oriented to appointment apps, and takes several parameters such as looking at the camera, positions and general quality of the photo to tell you which of those present are better. Not bad for when you are not sure what to use. Improve your biography and your presentation Artificial intelligence offers you Several ways in which you can improve your biography of Tinder. It all depends on what you want, if you rewrite what you already have done or if you prefer that I am writing everything from scratch for you. If you have no idea where to start, you can tell your artificial intelligence assistant like Chatgpt something like this: “I want you to help me create a biography for Tinder. Go by asking me step by step everything you need of me and then write it to me.” When you do this, the AI ​​will begin to ask you a series of questions about how you want biography, but also about your personal data. And when you have written everything, then it will take into account how those of Tinder are usually and create one for you from scratch. You can also hit your biography and Ask him to improve it to Tinder. So, you will go to a rewriting process of what you already have. With this you will ensure that it is better written, and you can even ask you to write it in a specific tone, as more formal, informal, flirtatious, selfless, or whatever you want. Another of the options you have is translate your biography to another language to add it below in the event that you also want it to be in English. And if you are going to ask the AI ​​to believe it from scratch or rewrite it, you can ask you to do it in the language you want. Here, just keep in mind that it is very important Do not describe someone who is not you. It is not about creating a character with qualities or a personality that you don’t have, but knowing how to better convey how you are. Because if someone makes you matching that you are in one way and then find that you are from another, it will immediately lose interest. It is possible that in some biographies you see that four letters are included that describe personality. If you want to have the same, you can ask the AI ​​as MAKE A MBTI personality test Ask as a question. Then you will ask you a series of questions to answer, … Read more

The AI does not stop stealing internet content to improve. And the Internet has swollen the noses

by

That Reddit blocks the action to the Archive Internet is a tragedy. And also a way of stopping a voracious and implacable The price to be paid for having ia It is the looting of all the internet content. In Reddit they know it well, and they have just taken an extreme measure against those indiscriminate robberies: it is not that Block access to their contents to the ‘scrapers’ of the companies of AI directly. Now they also block them if these companies try to access with rodeos. The injured party? Internet Archive. What happened. Reddit, who has always been very proactive when protecting “their” contents (which, by the way, have been generated by users voluntarily and free), has realized something: they were stealing them. But not directly, but through previous versions stored in that gigantic digital hemeroteca library called Internet Archive. Wayback Machine without access. Wayback Machine is the “Machine in Time” of the Internet Archive, and allows access to old versions of any website. But to avoid more content theft, Reddit has banned this platform to index the vast majority of Reddit content. Only the Reddit.com home page can be indexed. Reddit’s argument. Tim Rathschmidt, spokesman for Reddit, explained In The Verge That although Internet Archive is a service aimed at the open web, they had discovered “cases in which artificial intelligence companies violate the platform policies, including ours, and extract data from Wayback Machine.” In addition, he pointed out the following: “Until they are able to defend their site and comply with the policies of the platform (for example, respect the privacy of users, in relation to the elimination of deleted content), we are limiting part of their access to Reddit data to protect Reddit users.” If you want our contents, pay. That message from the spokesman is reasonable, but as little is incomplete. Especially since Reddit has persecuted that kind of looting of AI companies. He has tried to block those who did it with technical means, and the goal both before and now was the same: that companies pay for their contents. It is something that has achieved with the agreements that have reached since this type of processes began. The first thing he did was close his APIa disaster for all the Internet. Then he ended up reaching a Google agreement, which pays 60 million dollars a year In order to have access to those contents. And the same ended up with OpenAiwith which he sealed a pact whose economic details have not been unveiled but that gives access to Reddit’s contents to the models that enhance chatgpt. My content is mine (more or less). Social platforms have been nourishing the content of users for years. Until now the business model focused on advertising, but the arrival of AI has allowed us to have an interesting alternative model: that the companies of AI pay for being able to access those contents. Users barely win, Reddit and social networks do. Contents affirming that they are his – as Reddit, which in June He sued Anthropic– But that actually created the users of these platforms, who without realizing have become slaves of these social networks: they do not stop producing content that others consume, and do so without charging a euro. These platforms are intermediaries that provide the necessary infrastructure for this content to be available for free, but there are hardly any consideration for creators. Only a few can make a living on YouTube, Tiktok or Instagram for example. In Reddit exist Some metallic remuneration for the “taxpayers” who create the most for the platform. Cloudflare and content locks. Content companies are beginning to act in a similar way, and in the last two years we have seen how some editorial groups –Including haste– They reach agreements with AI companies so that they can use their contents. You Shall Not Pass! However, there are companies that go further. We have as clear example to Cloudflare, which has created a system so that companies that use their services can block the “Crawlers of AI” that try to steal their contents. If you are a cloudflare customer, you can activate that block, thus avoiding the problem or at least putting it Much more difficult to the AI companies that try to train their models with your data. Media and platforms such as The Associated Press, Fortune, Time or Stack Overflow are some of the companies that are already using said system. Quid Pro quo. This cat and mouse game is especially striking for the entire content creation segment, because IA companies use All shortcuts that can to capture (and steal) That data, Have or not copyright. What Reddit raises is a model in which creators compensate for the AI to take that data. Or more than creators, platforms that serve as their meeting and showcase. Media groups and audiovisual content producers have an interesting opportunity here Before the potential traffic collapse caused by solutions like Google AI Overviews.

How to create and improve your curriculum using artificial intelligence

by

Let’s tell you How to create or improve your curriculum using artificial intelligence. If you don’t know where to start, AI can help you create a template and organize your information. And if you already have one, then you can help you make it more attractive. Let’s start by telling you a series of tips and things to have in accounts before to start creating or improving your curriculum. Then, we will tell you several free tools that you can use to do it. Before starting, some notes When you are going to create or improve a curriculum with AI, the first thing you should consider is be clear about your goals professionals. You must take into account the position or the sector you aspire to, if you are looking for a career change or ascent, or if you have lost your work and want to return to the labor market. This will cause you to guide the content and some aspects of the text you are going to create. Collect and prepare information Relevant you want to use for your curriculum. The AI will not be able to guess your experience or your work history, because of what you must give it to you. Make a list of your labor history with dates, quantifiable achievements, your skills or your training. One of the advantages of using AI is that it is easier Adapt your curriculum to each job offer. First you must analyze the description of an offer, and then you can ask the AI to generate content aligned with this position, so that they know that you have specific skills or experience. Don’t lie in your curriculum. AI can help you decorate or decorate your experience, or expose it in a way that is more attractive. But lying in the previous jobs you have had or your work experience is something that can be detected over time, and it is never advisable to do so. In addition to this, you should always review all the text created by artificial intelligence. It is common that there may be errors or inaccuracies, so you will have to detect this type of hallucinations of AI. You also have to make sure that everything that is written makes sense. And finally, try that Your curriculum is clear and cleanthat everything is well exposed and that the design must be seen clearly. The presentation is always important, and you should avoid templates or details that excessively recharge what you are going to deliver. Create your curruculum with chatgpt or another AI One of the fast options is that of Use a generative ia chat as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini, Deepseek or similar ones. It is not the best option and possibly is the most limited, but it can help you start in a simpler way. For example, You can ask to generate a template For a curriculum for a specific profession.

You can also create a prompt in which you add all your dataask the AI to generate a curriculum from them, specifying whether you want the position you choose. This will require your time, you can generate the prompt with the data list in a document and then paste it to the AI, but the result will be more polished. In these cases, The important thing is to always ask to make the curriculum a format that you can print, such as a PDF. You can also specify that it has an A4 size, for example, which is the size of conventional folios so you can print it. Another thing for which you can use chatgpt, even To complement other tools That you use to create curriculums, it is to ask you to information. For example, there is a specific position to which you want to aspire, and then you can ask the AI to list the skills that are necessary for that position and its description. Thus, when completing your curruculum you can see if you can include any of them. Finally, You can also attach a curriculum to improve it. Add the text document file or DPF where you have it, and tell Chatgpt that it is a curriculum and that you would like to improve it or suggest changes to guide it to a specific profession. Create your curriculum with Canva This is possibly one of the best tools to create your curriculum, and It has a lot of free templates.

We had supplements to live more, improve our strength and sleep better. Now we have one to get less angry

by

We are likely to associate the name “Omega-3” for the beneficial effects that these fatty acids have on our cardiovascular health. However, over time we have discovered that these compounds They have more advantages. Let’s not lose the papers. For example, Now we know That the consumption of omega-3 fatty acid supplements is related to less aggressiveness. It is the conclusion reached by a group of experts after reviewing almost thirty studies on the subject published between 1996 and 2024. Omega-3. Surely we have heard on numerous occasions about the Omega-3 but what are they really? It is a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids that we often obtain through fish consumption (especially species such as northern bonito or white tuna, mackerel, salmon, sardines and trout), but which we can also find in other foods, such as nuts, flaxseed oil, soybean or chia seeds. We usually associate these fatty acids with better cardiovascular healthand for good reason: they reduce the presence of triglycerides (other types of fat present in our blood, these not so beneficial), as well as decrease the possibility of developing arrhythmias or the accumulation of plaque in our arteries. These fatty acids can also help us reduce blood pressure. Body and mind. But the studies carried out around the physiological benefits of these compounds have been complemented with analysis on the psychological and neurological impacts. Studies like a decade ago He detected a relationship between these nutrients and schizophrenia, or clinical trials that began establishing their relationship with aggression levels. 29 randomized essays. The team responsible for the new analysis compiled 35 independent samples extracted from 29 studies (including 3,918 participants) published between 1996 and 2024. From this exhibition, the team conducted a meta -analysis, a quantitative study of compiled essays. This served to detect modest but statistically significant effects in the relationship between Omega-3 and aggression. The team estimated a reduction of almost 30% in the levels of aggression, apart from gender age, diagnosis, duration of treatment and dose. The analysis found evidence that these fatty acids could reduce both reactive aggression (in response to a provocation), such as provocative (planned) aggression. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Aggressive and Violent Behavior. Continue investigating. Those responsible for the new study indicate that the fact that Omega-3 fatty acids are a normal component of our diet that we can find in a simple way in the form of supplement makes them a harmless treatment when reducing aggressiveness. Therefore, although there are important limitations regarding what we know about its effectiveness, they recommend their use, even as a complement to other measures. “The Omega-3 is not a magical bullet that will solve the problem of violence in society. But can it help? Based on these findings, we firmly believe that it can, and that we should start acting based on the new knowledge we have,” pointed in a press release Adrian Raine, co -author of the study. Despite this, the limitations that can be considered. For example, we do not know the biochemical mechanisms that could justify the casual relationship between Omega-3 consumption and the reduction of aggressiveness. In addition, according to Raine himself, analyzed studies focused mainly on short -term effects, so the task of evaluating them in the longer term is still pending.

China built the largest high speed network in record time. Now you want something more difficult: improve it

by

China has already shown that you can do what no other country has achieved: display in record time The largest high speed network on the planet. But it is not enough to have it. The new challenge is even more complex: to improve it, make it more efficient, more connected, more useful for the economy. And that demands less colorful, but equally ambitious decisions. To grow quickly to grow well. Between 2021 and 2024, China added 10,000 Kilometers of track to your high speed network. The figure impresses, but it is no longer what defines success. The Ministry of Transportation has made it clear that the current objective is not to extend the railway map without pause, but to squeeze its potential. In fact, The country has set As a goal to reach 50,000 operating kilometers before the end of 2025. The network adds 48,000 kilometers, more than 70 % of the world total, and connects 97 % of cities with more than 500,000 inhabitants. Millions of travelers, but there is still a margin of improvement. Only in the first half of 2025, Chinese high -speed trains They transported 2,240 million people. The figure impresses, but the authorities are not formed. The objective now is to make this system more comfortable, more predictable and better coordinated with the rest of the transport ecosystem, from the urban metro to airports. High speed yes, but also logistics. China wants its high -speed trains to cease to be just a solution for travelers. The new approach includes routes adapted to the transport of goods, interconnections with airports and sea nodes, and improvements to integrate the system into the production chain. What is at stake is no longer only mobility, but the country’s competitiveness. Beyond traditional rails. While the current network is kept, China develops new generations of trains, such as magnetic levitation. These advances do not seek to replace what is built, but prepare for a future where speed, autonomy and sustainability are key. The country has already tried prototypes that reach 600 km/h In cities like Qingdao. Figures that impress. Security that holds. Moving millions every day with punctuality is an achievement. Doing it without major incidents, for years, it is even more. China has built a network that not only runs quickly, but aims to resist earthquakes, storms and overloads. According to Xinhuasince 2012 no serious accident has been registered in the high speed network. Centralized planning. Faced with chronic delays that affect many countries, China has maintained a clear strategy: centralized decisions, sustained investment and state control of the process. It is not a perfect model – there are errors, cost overruns and debatable decisions. But its results in deployment and integration are difficult to ignore. A mature network, a major challenge. As we have seen, the Asian giant continues to expand its network, especially towards interior and less connected regions. However, it is no longer just about adding cities to the map. The real challenge is another: to ensure that a gigantic infrastructure works better and better, with less margin of error and more logistics demands. The stage of the big deployments is giving way to the stage of precision.

The most experienced developers hoped to improve their productivity with AI. A study showed just the opposite

by

What happens when you give an advanced artificial intelligence platform to a group of expert developers and ask them to work on tasks that they know in detail? The logical thing would be to wait a productivity jump, a great combination between experience human and technological assistance. The tools are there, the flows are learned, the learning curve is not an obstacle. But it was not so. What happened even surprised the authors of the study, according to Reuters: AI did not improve the results. He got them worse. And he did it in such a subtle way that not even the developers themselves realized. The report does not talk about critical failures or serious mistakes, but the effect was clear: the work became slower. Slower than it would have been without artificial intelligence in between. More does not always mean more productivity Before starting, everyone agreed on something: using artificial intelligence was going to save them time. In fact, they estimated that their tasks would finish 24 % faster. It was a reasonable expectation, based on their experience and how these tools were presented. And when they ended, they were still convinced of having achieved it: their estimate was that They had been 20 % faster. In his own words, AI had allowed them to advance without blockages, without interruptions, with a more agile workflow. But not. Actually, they had taken longer. A lot more. The general average of the group was a 19 % increase in total time during the test carried out by Metr. It is not a minor difference. And it is even more striking if one takes into account that we talk about tasks that they themselves had defined as relevant, useful and realistic: bugs correction, new functionalities, refactors. They were not exercises designed to test the AI, but real work, of the one that is done every day in any mature project. The difference was so great that he left even words even to those responsible for the study. The developers were not novice or learning on the fly. They had been working on those same projects for years, They knew the repositories in detailThey knew what was behind each file and each function. They were in their field. And, yet, the tools of AI did not facilitate work. They complicated it. Part of the explanation is how these platforms work. The suggestions they offered were not entirely incorrect, but imprecise. They were often well aimed, but required adjustments. And those adjustments, instead of saving time, elongated it. Check, correct, check. Start over. What promised to be an aid became a more intermediate process: an additional layer between thought and the solution. The feeling of fluidity was misleading. They started with a base, yes, but that base rarely served as is. You had to crumble itunderstand what the model had wanted to say, compare with what already existed and rebuild what is necessary. As if each suggestion came with an invisible asterisk. A non -valid line of default code. The illusion of progress faster was held until the time came to compile, try or make a serious review of the code generated. And yet, many of the participants continue to use those same tools in their day to day. Not because they save them time, but because they do the most bearable job. In the study they mainly used cursor, a platform that integrates advanced language models such as Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnetand that allows writing, completing and reviewing code directly from the development environment. Cursor does not do everything for you, but he accompanies you. That company, even when it is not entirely efficient, can make programming less exhausting. The AI ​​converts the effort to program in something more similar to being an orchestra director that to build everything from scratch with a solid knowledge base. We are already seeing it with the phenomenon Vibe Coding. In the midst of this scenario we have seen companies They cut development equipment for the possibilities offered by AI, although Some have had returned on their steps. AI is a valuable tool, but it doesn’t help everyone equally.
