The mobile industry has been desperate for years to improve its cameras. Honor believes having found the key

by

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try the Honor 400 Pro. It is a mid-high-end phone with the focus on mobile photography. So far, there is nothing especially surprising. But if I tell you that this phone sets the bases of a Honor who does not believe that the future of photography is in the hardwarebut in cloud computing, things may change. In Xataka we have been able to talk to Luo Wei, Chief Imaging Architect of Honor. He is the one in charge of leading the photography part, applied to it and super zoom in honor, and ex-huawei. And someone who is clear that to win the smartphone career you have to win the AI ​​race. If marketing sounds like you can be calm. It is not, it is the vision of the future of a giant who aspires to conquer Europe. Honor wants to lead in Europe, and wants to do it with ia To understand why AI for honor in phones is so important and not misunderstand it as a marketing exercise, it is necessary to know the relevance that the company has with its Alpha plan. In March 2025, the company revealed a investment of 10,000 million dollars In five years to promote artificial intelligence on their devices and display your first AI agent, in association with Qualcomm and Google. The objective is clear: lead the AI ​​agents in the mobile ecosystem and be the main reference in this race. At the moment, he will do it hand in hand with these two partners in Europe. Honor has different strategies for China and Europe. In our territory, Google Cloud is the main partner It is also relevant to understand that this plan has a lot to do with The position of honor in Europe and how it aspires to conquer our market, more than a proposal centered purely on your native country. With counterpoint data in your hand, Honor is the brand that grows most in shipments in Europe in an interannual wayand wants to continue pushing leading the functions of AI. In China, its AI approach is different, deeper and more local. There the partner is not Google Cloud, they are national giants like Alibaba (Qwen + Wanxiang), Baidu and Tencent Clouddeepening much more in your Yoyo assistant and hand with Depseek. All of AI One of the pillars of this plan, in addition to the creation of the first agriculture for smartphones, is Aimage. Landing the term to the tangible: the high -end phones of honor process the photographs in the cloud to “improve them”. And about this there are many questions. The first is why. Here Luo Wei states that, historically, Mobile photography has been limited by hardware. A limitation that according to Honor can only be overcome using cloud computing, especially for tasks such as image restoration, provide movement (turn into short video) static images or improvements in the zoom. Being more concrete, 12,500 million processable parameters for its cloud model vs. 3,000 million parameters with which current hardware can deal. Adding to this point the possibility that stresses honor of updating its algorithms via Ota. It’s something we have talked about in Xataka: We have been watching a stagnant industry at the photographic level and with a clear physical limit when improving your hardware. Currently, there are no larger sensors. The second point is in the democratization of functions such as Super Zoom (Zoom improved with AI) on devices beyond its flagship. Creating a cloud platform from which you can drink lower ranges models allows you to honor an experience similar to that of a high range in cheaper models. “The algorithms have been increasingly improving since December last year, when this function had just left. And if you compare the future with what is now, five months later, you can see that the cloud -based algorithm is updated every two weeks is becoming remarkably more real.” For honor it is also especially important The improvement margin through updates that allows AI. Honor takes it seriously: they update it every two weeks. The key here is not alone in time, it is in how. System updates can be installed or not, depend on storage space and hardware requirements. Luo says that, using the cloud, they could update the algorithm daily if they wanted and access to it would be immediate. The second great unknown has to do with profitability. Using Google’s cloud sounds good, But someone has to pay it. Here is surprising the transparency of Luo, who explains that honor is still debating what the business model will be and if they will end up charging users or not to use these services in the cloud. Here, Luo explains that honor does not pay for users or requests, but for QPS (consultations per second). In other words, for the ability of users to access the cloud service, and thus their costs do not depend on user behavior. It is, currently, its way of making this business sustainable, although it makes it clear that it is something that is being worked on and discussing internally. Betting everything to the cloud brings an inevitable question, What happens to the privacy of users. Honor explains that its AI cannot be used without prior consent of the user (it appears from the configuration assistant), and secondly, that all photographs that are uploaded to the cloud to be processed are eliminated after being treated. On the future of photography, Luo closes with a metaphor. At the beginning of the history of automotive, the gearbox was manual. Subsequently, it went to automatic changes and, today, We are already talking about autonomous driving. And yet, we still need drivers. For honor, the AI ​​will allow any user, regardless of their degree of skill, obtain the best photograph in any scenario. For expert users, it will be a co-pilot in editing functions, elimination of elements and post-foto work. Image | Honor In Xataka | … Read more

It is a fight to improve the quality of life

by

Throughout the existence of our species, we have given menopause, an unavoidable stage of women’s life, for some bearable, for others more suffered. However, the last decades have served us to learn a lot from female reproductive health, and that learning has opened the door to something that would seem unthinkable: delay and even end menopause. To fight something, the first step is to understand it, and perhaps we are not bad to clarify this concept. Menopause It is the stage that marks the end of female reproductive life, but leads to a series of changes that go beyond the mere end of menstruations. Menopause It usually occurs In women aged between 45 and 55 and is the process marked by the end of women’s reproductive capacity. The term “perimenopause” is often used to refer to the transition period, a period that usually extends several years. During perimenopausechanges are experienced both in the menstrual cycle, which can be lengthened or shortened; and at the level of estrogens produced by these organs. Progesterone production also falls. “Unlike other organs, ovaries experience accelerated aging, with a drastic drop in its functionality that begins in the 30,” explained to National Geographic ZEV Williams, director of the Fertility Center of Columbia University. Menopause not only implies internal changes but also has very palpable effects for those who go through it. Sophocals are perhaps the symptom that we most strongly associate with this process, although all symptoms depend on the case. The List of symptoms Common includes, in addition to changes in menstrual regularity and suffocation, strong or accelerated heartbeat, night sweat, skin redness, or sleeping problems. Changes in the vagina that take pain during sexual intercourse, urine escapes and more frequent infections can also occur. Menopause is not common in the animal kingdom: only a few species reach the end of their reproductive stage throughout their lives, which has intrigued experts for years. Does it make any evolutionary sense? The truth is that we do not know, so there are different hypotheses to explain this phenomenon. One of them is the Grandma’s hypothesis. This hypothesis proposes that living after the reproductive stage could have helped our ancestors to take a role beyond the breeding of the first generation of descendants. That is, allowing grandmothers to take care of their grandchildren or other relatives without having their own children to attend. There are also those who believe that menopause is not due to our evolution but is the effect of our growing life expectancy. While it is true that the human being has a relatively long life expectancy And increasingly extensive, we must bear in mind that throughout history it would not have been strange to see women reaching the end of their reproductive stage. And yes, life expectancy at birth has changed a lot, but the life expectancy fulfilled an age has done it to a lesser extent. For example, in the 1840s, the life expectancy of a person reached at 10 was over 57 years. More than 60 once the 20th. Ending with menopause At birth, the ovules that will give rise to the next generation are already located in the ovaries. We might think that, as it is a limited number of ovules, stretching the amount of menstrual cycles would be impossible, but the truth is that the number of ovules with which it is born gives for several lives, since this number is Between million and two million of gametes. These are disappearing, but it is estimated that during puberty the number of oocytes is about 300,000. Menopause is not a direct consequence of the exhaustion of these cells but of the aging of the organs that house them, the ovaries. The possibility of delaying the aging of these organs opens a way to prolong their reproductive life and their endocrine role. One of the promising techniques in this context is frozen ovarian tissue. This is a technique designed to simplify the process of extraction of ovules in people with cancer who want to maintain their fertility after very aggressive treatments. The technique, still experimental, is based on extracting tissue from the organ, freezing it and then reimpling it, could open the path to delay the menopausal process. According to their developerswhen reimplanting the fabric, this could be reimplanted in successive sessions, gradually lengthening the fertile age of those who decide to submit to treatment. The developers of the technique published last year An article In the magazine American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology in which they detailed their proposal. The Rapamycin It is a compound that could help us to delay menopause without going through the operating room. It is a already known drugderived from a bacterium, Streptomyces Hygroscopicusand used in other contexts for their immunosuppressive and antiproliferative properties. Recently, a team led by Williams, tested this drug. The treatment starts from the capacity of this compound to inhibit a protein related to aging, called MTOR. The provisional results of the study They gave rise to optimismbut we would still be in early stages of the investigation. Often if we have wondered if we can do something we also have to ask ourselves if it is a good idea to do so. Or the less ask ourselves, and all this for what? The answer in this case can be as simple as improving the lives of people who are going through this stage, whose symptoms can lead to a loss of quality of life and whose consequences may be complicated to fit sometimes. But there is even more. Because trying to stop menopause can also serve us as motivation when it comes to understanding it better, which could lead us to solve indirectly linked problems. For example, we know that the late appearance of menopause It has been associated with a lower bone loss in the elderly, as well as a lower risk of vascular and dementia diseases. Know why it can be of great help when improving the … Read more

What does well and what still does not improve in a mid -range that points high

by

Renewing the mobile without spending a fortune has become an increasingly demanding task. In the mid -range There is more and more competition, and also more demands. That is why models such as Samsung Galaxy A56 They continue to attract all looks: they promise a good balance between performance, camera and autonomy, without jumping to the high range. But the big question is whether they really meet everything they promise. To check to what extent it meets, Mario Arroyo has been using the Galaxy A56 as its main telephone, with all that that implies. “It’s a phone that you probably have on the radar if you want to change your mobile, so to see if it’s worth it, I’m going to show you how my life has been with him after 30 days of use,” he says at the beginning of the video. This model already recently appeared in a face to face in front of the iPhone 16E. But this time the approach is different: there is no direct comparison, but a total immersion in what the A56 offers, with its strengths and its most questionable decisions. One of the key sections is the camera, where Samsung repeats formula with respect to previous generations. Mario reviews his capabilities and puts on the table some deficiencies that begin to be difficult to justify in this range. Is it a lot about last year’s model? In the video there are examples that help you understand it. On the 21st of tests, the performance enters the scene. The new Samsung processor, along with its general optimization, leaves a clear sensation, especially after intense sessions of game or multitasking. Is it going as fluid as promises on paper? Mario does not keep his impression. The battery, as usual in this range, maintains the figure of 5,000 mAh. But the difference is in management, and how that data translates into screen hours and effective load. Here we also find some interesting surprise. And yes, as always, the price ends up being the definitive filter. Because it’s not just about specifications, but what you get in return. In that analysis, Mario does not remain superficial. Exposes what the Galaxy A56 offers and puts it in context with what you can find for similar figuresboth inside and outside Samsung. If you are thinking of changing mobiles and the Galaxy A56 is on your list of options, this video interests you. A month of use for a lot, and Mario has condensed his experience to have a clear idea before making any decision.

Synthetic data is not enough, so Apple wants users to help improve their AI: this will work its system

by

Apple Intelligence is herebut its premiere has not been as brilliant as many expected. The company’s new proposal still has improvement marginboth in English and Spanish. Although it has been presented as a clear sales argument, its impact among people has been rather discreet. The first impressions are mixed And, for now, he has not managed to generate a groundbreaking enthusiasm. From Cupertino they already move to reinforce one of the greatest software bets in their recent history. Among the movements in progress stand out two fronts: The rumored restructuring of the team responsible for Siri, whose improved version has been delayed up to 2026and the creation of new techniques designed to improve their language models, with the mission of not neglecting their approach to privacy. One step beyond synthetic data Apple usually training its models with synthetic data and data labeled by humansa solution that has been effective to some extent. It does not always represent the real world. Consequently, it limits the functioning of AI products. This has led the technological led by Tim Cook to develop a new solution that combines synthetic data with anonymous signals of participating devices. As explained in an article published this weekeverything begins with a synthetic message, that is, an email invented by Apple itself with a format that simulates the real emails. For example: “Would you like to play tennis tomorrow at 11:30?” From there, several variants are generated that change some elements, such as sport, schedule or tone, to try different possible structures. These phrases are sent to a part of the devices whose users have agreed to share analytics with Apple. There is something key: each iPhone, iPad or Mac Take a handful of real emails transformed into Embeddings local, that is, mathematical representations that convert each message into a set of numbers that reflect their theme, style and length. The important thing is that these emails never leave the device. Thus, the system compares Embeddings synthetic, which Apple has previously generated, with the Embeddings Real emails, to see which ones are more similar. This resemblance is reduced to an anonymous signal, a simple “this version coincides better”, which is sent to Apple without revealing the original mail or the Embedding of the user. With this, Apple intends to learn which synthetic variants better reflect the real use of language, but without seeing a single fragment of private content. The idea is that this helps improve Apple Intelligence functions such as email summaries or writing tools. This approach is based on the same differential privacy techniques that Apple already uses in other functions such as Genmoji. In that case, the company collects anonymous signals about what Prompts They are more popular, such as “a dinosaur with a hat”, to improve the results without registering which user made what request. The idea is simple but very interesting. Improving without using user data data allows you to maintain the privacy approach that the company has been defending so many years. This new technique will begin to be implemented in the next betas of iOS 18.5, Ipados 18.5 and Macos 15.5. It should be noted that only those who have activated the option to share analytics from the privacy settings are activated. So, if you don’t want to be part of this system, You can deactivate it whenever. You just have to go to Settings > Privacy and safety > Analysis and improvements and deactivate the option “Share iPhone analysis”.

A youtuber has wondered why movies always improve in black and white. The answer: “Less distractions”

by

The tendency to move black and white some successful films looks like a fashion more than a hollywood desperate for repairing and selling our favorite films several times. In some cases, however, the results are surprising, and there is an explanation for this: why in virtually all cases the black and white versions of films that were shot in color are so interesting, when they do not directly improve the original? Blanquinegros dinosaurs. It is the question that Youtuber Midday Reviews was asked when he checked for the umpteenth time one of his favorite films, ‘Jurassic Park’, This time in black and white. He discovered in her, thanks to an experiment that did not believe that he was going to take him to any interesting conclusion, a completely new film, one that returned to the terror to the saurios he experienced when he first saw the film, in the cinema and being a kid. The reason: less distractions. According to the author of the channel, this improvement is summarized in one point: the absence of color distracts less, and the viewer focuses unconsciously on planning, textures, lighting, microgest of interpretations. In aspects more linked to film creation, and therefore in black and white movies have a more “cinematographic” appearance. Not only because they are backward for times when films were less naturalistic and more focused on cinematographic language, but because the absence of color makes the spectator more aware that he is watching a fiction. Other examples. Midday Reviews reviews multiple examples of recent films that have received this treatment commercially, such as’Mad Max: Fury on the road‘(that George Miller himself considers The best version of the movie) either ‘Logan‘ (that He was born as an experimentbut that fans and director think that it is the definitive version of the film). Also mentions a case of which We have talked here‘In search of the lost ark’, a completely unofficial experiment, but that reaches the same conclusions as ‘Jurassic Park’: without distractions derived from color, background aspects such as edition or planning shine throughout its glory. You try. Midday Reviews recommends experiencing with your favorite films, ensuring that you will always find some interest with these colorless versions. And to demonstrate it, it puts some unusual examples: ‘Ninja turtles’ has almost expressionist lighting and planning details; And ‘Solo at home’ becomes an absolutely sinister dyes film thanks to its use of contrasts and that make it a film close to the horror genre. We have done it. Of course we have done it. We have tried an absolute icon of horror cinema: the first ‘nightmare in Elm Street’, overflowing with chiaroscuros, contrasted colors and games with lighting and colors. The result is not only a much more rough film, but completely loses the low -budget air of the Wes Craven classic, acquiring a very classic elegance. Apart from the fact that, as the video says, the lack of color allows you to repair in aspects such as the very detailed and terrifying texture of the special effects or makeup. Is it used for all cases? It will be a matter of testing, but the fun does not take away from you.

That will improve the experience of watching videos in goal

by

Hispanic countries have a wide dubbing culture for the contents in other languages, so that we consume films, series and programs bent with Voices in the local language. As one of the main content creators From YouTube, Mrbeast knows. That is why he said that if he were CEO of Facebook, the first thing he would implement would be a dubbing system of his videos as Youtube already has. Mark Zuckerberg agreed. Speak the same language as the audience. Mrbeast and Mark Zuckerberg agreed In the podcast Colin and Samir Show Where the interviewers asked Jimmy Donaldson (real name of the YouTuber), what would he do if Mark Zuckerberg appointed him CEO of Meta. Donaldson made Mark Zuckerberg see that the finishing video platforms are staying behind in terms of the ability to offer content in several languages. According to Mrbeast, this lack of dubbing options is negatively affecting the scope of videos on the platform. In another language you don’t get the same. As the Youtuber explained, the audience’s commitment is not the same when they see a video in their language as in English, therefore, the Content creator with more subscribers From YouTube he was especially concerned with the target tools in translation. “Something that seems really bad (finish) is that on YouTube you can have different audio clues. 70% of my audience on YouTube does not speak English, so I upload videos and then you simply upload a lot of different files. If you click on my video in Mexico, it automatically reproduces in Spanish. What is brutal is that when I publish those same videos on Facebook or in any of your platforms, I can not care about the dubbing. Audience is always infinitely lower because people from Mexico, Brazil and others cannot see them with dubbing, “Donaldson explained in his speech. Audience of India Brazil, Indonesia and Mexico. No traffic data of Mrbeast has been revealed, but According to data From the GMI consultant, some 2.7 billion people around the world use YouTube every month, of which 476 million users are from India, 147 million Brazil, 139 million Indonesia and 84.2 million users see content from Mexico. His videos are reproduced in more than 100 countries with 80 different languages, so for Mrbeast, speaking the same language as his audience is the key to the success of his videos. There click Facebook. Mrbeast was very clear: “If he were the Meta CEO, one of the first things he would be would be to improve the dubbing options.” For him, it is essential that goal helps creators reach more people and to increase the engagement With its content. One of those tools is the language. “It is quite overwhelming once you understand it. You think: ‘uf!, Only 15 or 20% of the world, or the figure that is, consume content in English.’ It is brutal. It is almost barbaric to use a platform in which you have to choose a language,” said Donaldson. The interesting thing is that Mark Zuckerberg agreed with Mrbeast. He acknowledged that the lack of dubbing options is a problem and that artificial intelligence could be the solution. Mrbeast has already proven that the Use of dubbing generated by AI With his own voice, hearing retention on other platforms has increased. The multilingual future with the finish line. Zuckerberg agreed that the youtuber in the importance of languages ​​when reaching the audiences, and added that there could have the AI ​​could have A very important role. “Actually, retention is 1% greater in that language because when you do dubbing with AI you can use my voice instead of sounding like a dubbing actor,” Donaldson explained, indicating that her producer already uses cloned voice tools with voice with AI to fold your videosinstead of applying a neutral dubbing voice or simply applying subtitles. For the goal, which seeks to have a global presence returning to the origin Without Facebook algorithmthis option is even more important. By incorporating dubbing generated by AI, the goal could increase audience retention, expand its user base and compete more effectively in the panorama of social networks.

We have a way to improve the effectiveness of treatments such as Ozempic to lose weight: deceive metabolism

by

Our body did not evolve for the vicissitudes of modern life. During a good part of human existence, staying alive required for example that our body reacts to food shortages to prevent our energy consumption from becoming excessive and drained our reserves. In the world the contemporary world, this strategy has become an inconvenience for many who want to lose weight. A new way. Now this can change thanks to a New discovery. A team of researchers has discovered a mechanism used by the liver in the consumption of sugars and fats. Although the finding is still limited to animal models, the team believes that it shows potential to help improve the effectiveness of weight reduction treatments and even against diabetes. Facing the deficit. Layout seems simple: we just have to spend more calories than we consume. However, this is often complicated, since our body is an expert manager of its energy economy, knows how to react to scarcity. When we see ourselves in a prolonged situation in which we reduce the energy contribution of our body, that is, we ingest less calories, our body reacts reducing our energy consumption. To do this, it has a key tool: slow down metabolism. This implies for example, that after a time of diet, we can see how the weight we lower is reduced. Something that even affects people who resort to drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy or Zepbound. PLVAP. The team responsible for the finding, They explainHe was studying a gene called Plvap in mice hígados. This is also a gene present in human cells. It was known that people with mutations that eliminated this gene presented problems by metabolizing lipids (fats), which focused group interest. The study of this gene allowed to discover that its function It has to do with metabolic change that occurs when our body goes from consuming sugar to consume fats during fasting. If this gene is not activated, the body continues to burn sugar as if nothing happened. Deceive the body. Controlling this newly discovered mechanism would open the way to improve the treatments present for weight loss. The strategy to achieve this would be to use this gene to “deceive” the liver in its regulation of our metabolism. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Cell. Not just a matter of weight. Controlling our weight is something that arouses enormous interest, as the successes of drugs such as those belonging to the Ozempic family have demonstrated. However, those responsible for the study point out that they could also help us treat metabolic diseases. An example is diabetes due to the role of PLVAP protein in the way our body processes sugar. A long road ahead. Transforming the finding into a treatment that can reach people will take years. For now, work has only been carried out in mice, which implies that it must still be demonstrated that the same mechanisms operate in the metabolism of human beings, something predictable but for now without contrast. Designing a drug and getting all common controls, including clinical trials is also something that requires time and, above all effort. The success of the new generation of drugs for weight loss is at least an indication that this type of treatments is on the laboratory agenda, so the effort is.

There is a key to radically improve mobile photography. The problem is that only Xiaomi is applying it

by

The highest range mobiles They make good photographsThat is undeniable. As it is also undeniable that the defendant is increasingly aggressive and, with him, ends dying naturalness in photographs. But not everything is software, our camera sensor largely determines how aggressive they need to be (or not) those computational decisions of the phone. That is why an inch sensors have been demonstrating a simply brutal muscle. Xiaomi has cited us on March 2 to know his Xiaomi 15 Ultrayour photographic flagship. The company itself has given some brushstrokes about how the camera of this beast will be, revealing that it will repeat with the sensor configuration of an inch. This movement, although not new, is one of Xiaomi’s differential factors in the market. Although the camera sensors of an inch They have been with us for more than four yearsThey have not managed to be a standard in the highest range. Or, at least, in which it is sold in Europe, since some of the best Chinese phones with gigantic sensors are not sold in our territory. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: 1/1.3 “. iPhone 16 Pro Max: 1/1.28 “ I live x200 pro: 1/1.28 “ Realme GT6: 1/1.4 “ Sony Xperia 1 VI: 1/1.7 “ Honor Magic7 Pro: 1/1.3 “ OPPO FIND X7 PRO: 1/1.4 “ Xiaomi 14 Ultra: 1 “ It’s curious. We have been talking about an inch sensors for years, but there is only a high range among the great manufacturers that bets on this type of sensor. An inch sensor on a mobile phone offers significant advantages in the quality of the photos and videos, mainly due to its larger size compared to the smallest sensors that are usually integrated into smartphones. One of its keys is the best light collection, since A larger sensor has a larger surface to capture light, which translates into images with somewhat less noise in low lighting conditions. This is key, at a time when manufacturers are obsessed with their noise reduction algorithms. They are also sensors with greater depth of field (an older and better natural bokeh, so that we understand each other), and that at the technical level, allow to obtain more detail. They are little if they are not worked but, well used, these sensors are a before and after (especially in RAW shots). The problem? Introducing an inch sensors is more expensive, it requires more space in the telephone body, and complex optical development to take advantage of its potential. An investment of resources to which all manufacturers are not willing. Image | Xiaomi In Xataka | Mobile cameras will not improve as much as the sensor size increases.

Why an astronaut was obsessed with failure (and the lesson that leaves us to improve our productivity)

by

Most of us avoid thinking about failure. And when we do it is usually something inevitable, but ephemeral, because we flee from that thought. Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut who commanded the International Space Station, did exactly the opposite throughout his career: Metustically visualized each possible failure. Because? To prevent it. What seems like a paradox (focusing on failure to achieve success) makes some sense. Precisely in its workplace, space, an error can mean death. There, NASA dedicates Much of the training time to practice the response against emergencies. It is not pessimism, but strategic preparation. It is a method applicable to everyday life and on the earth’s surface. When We visualize what can go wrong in a project or an important decisionwe are reducing anxiety and uncertainty. And improving our response capacity. It is like having a mental GPS that has already calculated alternative routes before encountering the first obstacle. But there is a trap: The key is not to become obsessed with the worst scenarios, but to turn them into contingency plans. Hadfield did not limit himself to imagining disasters, but developed specific responses for each one. He turned fear into something productive. The method can be reduced to three steps: Identify fissures. Develop a specific response for each one. You practice those answers until they become automatic. This method makes sense and works because Eliminates the surprise factor of failure. When you have already visualized a problem, and practiced the answer to it, our brain processes it as a similar situation, not as a crisis. Hadfield came to command the International Space Station preparing obsessively for everything that could go wrong. We, at a more mundane, literal and metaphorical level, we can achieve our goals by systematically proof all possible fissures. It is not something that guarantees success, but it is a way of thinking that it will make us more competent already proof of failures.
