They investigate whether it is a case of “Singapore washing”

by

One day before the end of 2025, Meta announced the purchase of Manusthe Singapore-based artificial intelligence startup, for $2.5 billion. With this acquisition, Meta wants to strengthen its position in agentic AI, that is if the agreement comes to fruition. The Chinese authorities have something to say. What is happening. They count in South China Morning Post that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce is going to launch an investigation into the Manus purchase. Although the startup is registered in Singapore, the company developed its products in China, giving Beijing a legal basis to investigate whether moving personnel and technology to Singapore required an export license under Chinese law. Why is it important. The purchase of Manus can be taken as an example for other Chinese startups to follow: develop their product with Chinese talent taking advantage of the more favorable conditions, move the headquarters to Singapore and jump to the West, avoiding Chinese supervision. From China, this is perceived as a drain on talent and technology, as well as an uncomfortable fact: that the United States is a more attractive destination for AI companies. What can happen. At the moment the investigation has only been announced and it is possible that it will remain just that, but if Beijing concludes that Manus needed an export license, it is possible that they will influence the transaction. According to Financial Timesin an extreme case they could even force the parties to abandon the agreement. It doesn’t seem like it will go that far since, from China, Manus is not seen as a critical technology. Neither Meta nor Manus have commented anything on the matter. Manus. The company gained notoriety in March 2025 when it launched its AI agent. At that time the company operated in Beijing and Wuhan, but In July he moved to Singaporelaying off some of the Chinese staff. Their product is an AI agent capable of building web pages, developing apps and carrying out complex tasks, but does not have its own language modelbut works based on Claude and Qwen. Singapore ‘washing’. Manus is not the only company that has played the Singapore card to attract customers from abroad. It is a common practice known as “Singapore washing”although the most normal thing is not to move the entire company, but rather to open a second headquarters. It is a way to avoid possible sanctions and restrictions derived from the deterioration of relations between China and the US, ensuring access to financing and global markets.

It’s so strange that science has had to investigate it

by

A sports fisherman in Costa Rica was surprised by his life by capturing something that seemed taken from a fantasy film: a two -meter shark of an intense orange yellow color and with completely white eyes. Something that I had never seen in his life, but that was not a new species, but A specimen of nodriza shark with such a rare genetic condition that has left fascinated scientists. A shark so special that it has deserved to be investigated. The finding, which took place near the Tortuguero National Park, on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, has been documented in a scientific article Posted in the magazine Marine Biodiversity. And this shark was not any: it is the first case of xantism Total scientifically documented in a nodriza shark (ginglymostomacirratum) worldwide. And the first registered in the Caribbean Sea. A unique shark in its kind. On August 10, 2024, while fishing at a depth of 37 meters, a fisherman captured, photographed and released this incredible exemplary. The images revealed an adult shark of approximately 200 cm in length, whose skin, normally of a grayish brown color, was of a vibrant yellow-orange tone. What is Xantism. It is a genetic condition that causes predominantly yellow pigmentation in the skin of an animal. Although It has been observed in various speciesfrom reef fish to reptiles, it is a phenomenon considered ‘rare’, especially in the marine environment. The reason for its rarity could be in the natural selection itself: such a striking color could make the animal an easy target for predators. Why this shark is special. But what caught the attention of the researchers, led by Marioxis Macías-Cuyare, were his eyes. The animal had white eyes, without visible iris, which suggests an even more complex condition than simple xantism. Scientists have called it ‘albino-xantochromism’, a combination of xantism (excess yellow pigment) and albinism (absence of other pigments such as melanin in the eyes). The unknown is in its survival. One of the great questions posed by this discovery is How has such striking animal survive. As a general rule, animals with such striking colorations are easy prey, since their inability to hide makes them a perfect target for predators. However, this Nodriza shark was a two -meter adult. This shows that, despite its spectacular color, it has been able to survive for years, hunt successfully and no one has been able to hunt. The fact that it will reach maturity, suggests, according to the authors of the study, that “Xantism does not hinder the survival of this species.” The most plausible theory is that this type of sharks live in night environments, which could have helped him go unnoticed. The new questions that opens this golden shark. This sighting is not just a curious anecdote, but it opens a new field of research. This Nodriza shark is currently classified as ‘vulnerable’ species in The IUCN Red Listso understanding its genetics and adaptation capacity is crucial for its conservation. In this way, science now wonders if this can be an isolated case or if it can represent an emerging genetic tendency in the region. In addition, environmental factors are also on the table, since it points to the high temperatures of the Caribbean could influence the expression of different genes through epigenetics.

How to create a podcast from a text to study, investigate or simply listen if you don’t feel like reading

by

Let’s explain How to create an audio from text wearing artificial intelligenceso that you can have a kind of podcast to study or review something when you do not feel like reading. Thus, instead of having to be reading a text, you can simply relax while listening. We are going to start the article with a series of previous tips and recommendations to take into account before putting the task. Then, we will tell you how you can do it with one of the best tools available for it, and we will continue with two ways to do it with assistants of AI as Chatgpt And some other alternative that is also interesting for Generate voice with artificial intelligence. Before starting, things to take into account Before starting to get to work with this, there are some things that you must take into account. First, you must define whether this audio or “podcast” that you want to create is educational, informative or only entertainment. Try too Be clear if you are going to listen to only you or also some other person, in order to polish how well finished it is. A written text does not always sound natural when you listen to it, especially when you have longer and somewhat intricate phrases. That is why it can be recommended that The phrases are short and close languagenot something that makes you heavy listening. In cases where you are going to be able to do it, Decide tone and voice stylechoosing between one more formal or informal. This may depend on the content you want to consume in audio, and also if you are going to listen to only you or other people. It is also recommended that You take care of the audio duration. The recommended duration may vary, because if it is something dense or to study it may be that from 20 minutes begin to get tired, but if it is for leisure or something narrative you should not have problems with longer durations. If it is something dense, try to segment the content well. And finally, Always check the result and do not be afraid to try again If you don’t convince you. Because sometimes the voices of AI may sound unnatural or there may be errors, and that is why it is important to check it even if it is a bit. In the end, The most important part is in the script That you will create to be narrated, and in this it is what you will have to spend most of the effort. Try to be natural, with good scores and well structured. Audios from your notes with notebooklm The first tool you can use is Notebooklm from Google, a service with which you can use artificial intelligence to organize your sources, and even Create an audio summary As if it were a podcast. It is a kind of chatgpt, but in which everything you do will be based on the sources you have added by hand. You can use notebooklm Through its official website or by mobile applications. The official website is Notebooklm.google.comor also in their apps In Google Play For Android and In the App Store For the iPhone. You can use it for free, but its payment version will give you more audio summaries. The first thing you should do with this tool is to create a notebook or work space. Inside, In the left column you can add sourceswhich are the files that the AI ​​will use to obtain the information. They can be text documents, slides, PDF, YouTube videos or links to web pages or online items. Once you have added the sources, Go to the section of Studiowhere the tool will create an audio summary of the content of all files. With this you will create your personal podcast To get information about everything you want. How can you do it with chatgpt and others AI Another option is to use a generative AI such as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini either Deepseek. These tools They do not allow you to create a downloadable audio file although this is something you can do with other third -party tools. What you can do is listen directly to the AI ​​app. What you have to do is Create a summary script of an article. Then, this script can be heard directly in Chatgpt, Gemini or other platform, or take it to another AI that generates a downloadable audio. Let’s explain everything step by step. To start, you have to tell Chat GPT to make you summarize an article or a web page. For that, You must attach it and include the prompt or the instructions to generate your script. The article from which you want the summary can be included by uploading the text file or PDF, or directly putting the website. The prompt that we have used is as follows: “I want to create an audio to listen to a summary of the content of this website. I want you to generate the script to then copy and paste it into a program that passes from text to audio. The script has to be narrative, without structure, you simply have to write it to read it from there. (Link)” As you can see, in the prompt we have reiterated that the text generated by chatgpt It must be natural and should be read directlybecause sometimes if you do not mention it, you can tend to generate a script scheme with things to be filled, and what I want is to generate a text to copy and paste. Here, It is you who decides how and what do you want to make the summarybeing able to be one or several files that you raise or add. Just remember that Everything you upload or vintages will be saved on servers of the company that owns the AI, so be careful in the event that you are adding sensitive data that you … Read more

When the US began to investigate a nuclear waste tank he found an even worse nightmare: radioactive wasps

by

If you are even the noses of the velutinasthe Backpacks and the Tigres mosquitoes and Japanesethink about this: there are people in South Carolina (USA) that what fears right now is the stalking of radioactive wasps. It sounds crazy, but it makes all the meaning of the world if one takes into account that there, near a plant in which in its day pieces for nuclear bombs were manufactured, They just found A loop with a radiation level ten times above what is allowed. The big question is … how is it possible? What happened? That a few days ago the US Department of Energy published A report which has generated Polvareda in the country’s media. And rightly. The document does not go demand and supply, renewable or prices, but of something much more picturesque: earlier than the month, on Thursday 3 to be precise, some operators located near Aikenin South Carolina, a wasps nest with a radiation level ten times higher to what federal regulations allow. The authorities insist In any case where there is no risk. Where did they find it? Near a radioactive waste tank Savannah River Sitea nuclear material processing center located in South Carolina, next to the Savannah River, and that rose to mid -last century to refine useful materials for weapons creation. The NBC chain states that in its day, at the beginning of the cold war, it was used to manufacture the plutonium nuclei necessary to mount nuclear pumps. Now the installation is dedicated to other works, such as fuel production for nuclear centrals and cleaning tasks, but some sources They point that has generated More than 625 million Of liters of nuclear waste, an amount more than considerable that, once processed, it stayed at around 129 million. 43 underground tanks remain in use. OTHER EIGHT ARE CLOSED. What did they do with the nest? They sprayed him with insecticide, they removed him and discarded him as a radioactive residue. Finally the team prepared A reporta document that took more than expected because its authors dedicated themselves to review Previous cases of fauna pollution to be sure of your criteria. The document concludes that “more actions on the land” are necessary. Is anything else known? Yes. To begin with that they only found the loop, No wasps. Aiken Standard Clarify In any case that if insects had been located, they would probably present quite lower pollution levels. The same newspaper indicates that, after detecting the nest, the radiological control operating staff (RCO) inspected the surroundings without identifying more pollution or threats to the workers. The area in which the nest appeared is inside the plant, where underground steel tanks and several meters deep are preserved. The CNN chain collect Savannah River Mission Completion statements that rule out that there is a risk that the wasps created by the loop can fly outside their facilities. The reason: the normal thing is that they do not move too far from their nests. How is it possible? That is the million dollar question. The report speaks of “inherited radioactive pollution” and “not related to a loss of control”. The event would therefore be explained by the residual radioactivity That remained when the center was fully operational, not for possible leaks. The text in any case does not seem to have satisfied the Savannah River Site Watch surveillance team, which considers that it is incomplete because it does not detail where pollution came from or how exactly came to insects. “I am furious because SRS did not explain where radioactive waste comes from or if there is any type of escape in the tanks that the public must know,” Recognize Tom Clementsgroup manager. One of the keys would be the type of nest, since not all wasps use the same materials to create their homes.

that risotto eats on the moon. And they already investigate a supereno and more protein rice

by

We continue to have the colonization of the bodies that surround us between eyebrow and eyebrow. For a while, Mars became the “Manifest destination” of the United Statesbut the moon has returned to the first position of extraterrestrial colonization. Is the reason for being of the Artemis missionand it is evident that the moon has much to offer in the form of minerals and energy. But to be able to establish ourselves in the satellite, there is a fundamental step: Cultivate food on the moon. And now Italy has presented The main ingredient of food on the moon: rice. Space farmers. NASA wants to return to the moon, Europe and Russia also. AND China is making great advances. And something that all nations are exploring is how to grow in the lunar soil, from potential food to tobacco, how is China exploring. Lunar soil is hostile because there are no nutrients, so in the past We have experienced with worms and fungi to do the first fertilization work. The idea is to make the regolito, Something very valuable To create materials and leading element of the lunar soil, it is more fertile, but while we find the way, from the Italian Space Agency (like) they have had another idea: to create varieties of dwarf rice by genetic edition to grow in the conditions of the moon. Miniarrocera. The initiative led by the Italian organism implies a joint investigation with universities such as Milan, Roma Sapienza and Naples Federico II, and the objective is to develop a variety of supersenan rice that grows in microgravity conditionsas well as in extremely reduced spaces such as those that can occur in lunar bases. The idea is to maximize production in an extremely narrow space, and that is why they seek to reduce the size of the plant as possible without affecting the amount of rice it can give. A rice plant can reach heights between 70 and 150 centimeters, but the research objective is that the maximum size of those lunar plants is about 10 centimeters. Overcome. Beyond achieving a very compact size, the project seeks to modify the genetics of the plant so that the resulting rice is more nutritious than what we have on Earth. For example, that has a superior protein contribution, something that the “normal” rice suffers. Samples of this miniarroz Difficult. For this project baptized as ‘Moon-Rice’, each of the centers deals with a task. The University of Milan isolates mutant varieties with dwarfism; The University of Rome identifies the best genes to achieve maximum performance despite the size and that of Naples contributes its experience in space crops (such as the Melissa project of ESAwhich simulates closed ecosystems to recycle air and water in long -term missions). But, although promising candidates have already been identified to modify, such as the Japanese dwarf variety kozosumikathis miniaturization presents multiple challenges. Alter the gibberelin of the plant (the plant hormone that allows regulating the height) can also affect production, being that balance between dwarfism and maximum productivity the balance so delicate that must be managed in the laboratory. Terrestrial applications. As it happens so many times when a technology is developed or explored for lunar use, we also see potential for use within the atmosphere. For example, developing a rice that occupies little space, that is more nutritious and more resistant than usual, can be useful for both Urban agriculture as, above all, for the development of crops in arid areas of the Earth. And, beyond this moon-rice that is in initial phases, it is evident that Italy is taking seriously lunar exploration. As a member of ESA, it is collaborating with other agencies that also have interest in the satellite. An example is the interest at the Mohammed Bin Rashid space center of the United Arab Emirates to promote exploration on the Moon, but also a contract With the Thales Satellite manufacturer Alenia Space to develop a habitability module to operate in the lunar base as part of the Artemis program. It only remains to be seen if, in that Lunar module of Italy, the risotto is the main dish. And, who knows, beyond being a source of food, that the ‘inhabitants’ of the moon see green can have positive effects on their mental health during long -term missions.

The operation began weeks ago, but it was Tuesday when the National Police agents They have made the arrests effective. In the municipality of Agüimes (Gran Canaria), two people have been arrested for their alleged participation in cyber -terrorism crimes, within the framework of an investigation into the filtration and sale of personal data of key state figures. The case is in the hands of the Central Court of Instruction number one of the National Court, under the coordination of the Prosecutor’s Office of the National Court, and has mobilized the General Information Police Station, the CNI and the Provincial Information Brigades of Madrid and Las Palmas. Two young people detained. The indications collected so far suggest that one of the detainees would have been in charge of obtaining and publishing the data, and the other, of managing the economic circuit, with payments in cryptocurrencies designed to hide their trail. Canary Islands7 identifies To the detainees such as Yoel OQ, 19, and Cristian Ezequiel SM Yoel was arrested at his home early morning. According to sources cited by the newspaper, it was not a cybercrime to use, but the agents managed to follow their fingerprint until we found it. Cristian, his friend, would have known his activities and collaborated in certain aspects of the operation. Both, according to the aforementioned medium, would be linked to the Person Sánchez’s personal data filtration and other politicians. Click to see the original message in x A latent threat.

Police investigate whether a filtration has exhibited personal data from Pedro Sánchez and several ministers, according to Cadena Ser

The National Police has opened an investigation for a possible filtration of personal data that, According to Cadena Sercould affect the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchezand several members of the Executive. The leaked document, about 500 pages, would contain information such as ID numbers, homes and birth dates. What is known until now? In the case of Sánchez, the published registration includes its supposed identification number next to an address and a date of birth. The broadcaster also points to other possible affected: the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla; the president of Extremadura, María Guardiola; the former mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau; and around 3,000 members of Podemos. Diffusion in a messaging app. Part of that information would have been disseminated through a telegram channel. In the case of data related to Podemos, it would be access data to its private website. This filtration adds to others that They are already being examined by the National Courtand in which names such as Félix Bolaños or Yolanda Díaz appear. Ongoing research. The aforementioned means indicates that given the nature of the committed material, the central court number 1 of the National Court investigates the case as a possible crime of terrorism. For now, it is not clear if the data were obtained through a cyber attack or if they come from open sources that would have been collected and crossed with additional information, and then marketed on the Dark Web.

Investigate Pornhub for not complying with age verification

by

A click on a yellow box that says “I am 18 years of age or older.” That is all the age verification that Pornhub makes, one of the largest pornographic content websites in the world. And indeed, it is not enough, at least for the European Commission. And it is not in Pornhub, Stripchat, Xnxx and Xvideos, websites all of them that, from now on, They are being investigated by the European Commission for “suspicions of gaps of the digital service acts”. Context. One of the objectives of the European Act Digital Act, AKA DSA, is to protect minors from certain types of network content. The pornographic, among them and in particular. Since December 2023, Pornhub, Stripchat and Xvideos are considered Vlops (Vary Large Online Platforms), that is, platforms that have an average of 45 million monthly users and, therefore, have additional obligations. Since December 2023, Pornhub (among other websites) has been considered a Very Large Online Platform and, as such, has additional obligations What obligations? In order to concern this text, Vlops must offer greater protection to minors. According to the European Commission, “Vlop must design their services, including their interfaces, recommendation systems and terms and conditions, to address and prevent risks for the well -being of minors.” They must also offer “palliative measures to protect the rights of the child and prevent minors from accessing online pornographic content, even with age verification tools.” In other words, which must offer mechanisms to ensure that minors do not access adult content. Among those mechanisms is, for example, age verification. It is a fairly complex issue, which has not been exempt from criticism and that He has been on the table for more years. Completely impassable | Image: Xataka What happened. That the European Commission has taken the magnifying glass to take a look at what Pornhub, Stripchat, Xnxx and Xvideos are doing to prevent minors from seeing porn. As reflected in the commission in the releaseinvestigations focus on “the risks for the protection of minors, including those related to the absence of effective age verification measures.” The preliminary research carried out by the European agency suggests these platforms have not implemented “appropriate and provided measures to guarantee a high level of privacy, safety and protection of minors” or risk mitigation measures, “in particular through adequate tools for verification of age,” says the Commission. Image | Shane Uchi What could happen? That the European Commission opens the investigation does not mean that these companies are guilty. If it is, something that will be resolved later, they would face a sanction of up to 6% of their global annual turnover. In the case of Pornhub, perhaps the best known, the website is owned by Aylo (previously Mindgeek) and its estimated income are around 500 million dollars annually. The potential fine would therefore be about 30 million dollars. And what systems are there? We have visited the four websites mentioned above and then we show the mechanisms for protection of minors: a screen where we accept that we are (or not) minors. There is no verification. Interestingly, stripcams links a kind of guide for parents to teach to configure parental control via Google SafeSearch or in iOS/Android. However, the DSA establishes that it is the websites that must offer the prevention mechanisms, not leave the ball on the parents’ roof. Pornhub age verification systems, XVIDEOS, XNXX and Stripchat | Image: Xataka In any case, and as far as Stripchat concerns specifically, the commission has announced that it has lost its status of Vlop and will cease to be considered as such in four months. However, general obligations will continue to apply. In that sense, the Commission has commented that there are many pornographic platforms that are not so large and in which, therefore, national laws are applied. Thus, a working group has been established with the objective of better coordinating the actions between the different countries. Doors to the field. Throughout history there has been countless attempts To restrict access to the pornographic content, but the reality is that blocking access to content available on the Internet without going through an exhaustive age verification is … complex. Not because blocking a website is impossible, which is not at all, but because pornographic content can be found on any platform. Porn websites are the best known distribution platforms, but this type of content can be found on social networks, platforms such as Reddit, in Telegram channels or in WhatsApp groups. Limiting access to websites is a step, but it will not eliminate the root problem: accessing online porn is extremely simple. Digital portfolio operation scheme | Image: Government of Spain Pajorto. The Government of Spain announced last year Beta digital portfolio creationbetter known as “pajorto” although its implementation could be expanded until November 2026 (which is the maximum date to comply with the European regulations eidas2which forces member states to have digital identity systems), it was supposed to be ready by the end of this year.

CDC and Alabama investigate ‘adverse events’ caused by antibiotic

by

In Alabama, many doctors have decided to pause the use of ceftriaxone, an antibiotic widely used to treat bacterial infections, following a warning issued by the state Department of Public Health. The decision came after the appearance of eleven reports of possible adverse events related to this medication, known commercially as Rocephin, in different parts of the state in recent months. Ceftriaxone is one of the most widely used antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections such as pneumonia, meningitis and E. coli. Additionally, it is administered preventively in patients undergoing certain types of surgery. However, recent adverse events have raised concern among healthcare professionals, who seek to ensure the safety of their patients while continuing to use alternative treatments. According to the official statement from the Department of Health, some of the patients who experienced adverse reactions showed signs of anaphylaxis, a severe type of allergic reaction. Among the reported symptoms are hives, itching, hypotension and hypoxia, that is, dangerously low levels of oxygen in the blood. Fortunately, all affected people have received timely treatment and have recovered, as confirmed by the authorities. Although a direct connection between ceftriaxone and these reactions has not been established, the Department of Public Health has emphasized that the primary goal is to investigate any possible epidemiological link. This investigation includes the evaluation of factors such as the use of diluent substances, steroid medications administered in conjunction with the antibiotic, and other elements that could have contributed to the reported adverse events. “The people investigated had a variety of pre-existing medical conditions, and so far no specific causal link between ceftriaxone and these reactions has been identified,” the official statement says. Authorities have insisted that this pause in the use of the drug is a preventive approach, and that they will continue to work closely with health care providers to resolve any concerns. Although no specific information has been released about the locations where the incidents occurred, several clinics in northern Alabama have warned about the possibility of temporarily suspending use of the drug while the investigation is ongoing. The Department of Public Health stressed that, as with any injectable antibiotic, there is always a risk of allergic reactions, and emphasized the importance of monitoring patients and responding appropriately if complications occur. According to data from the department, cephalosporins, a category of antibiotics to which ceftriaxone belongs, can cause allergic reactions in between 0.5% and 2.5% of patients who receive them. While this percentage may seem low, the potential consequences of a severe reaction justify the implementation of precautionary measures and prompt medical attention in the event of an emergency. As part of preventive actions, the Department of Health has urged healthcare providers to report any adverse events associated with the administration of ceftriaxone to the Adverse Reaction Reporting System. This system allows essential data to be collected that could help clarify the causes of these incidents and ensure the safety of future treatments. The case highlights the challenges inherent in using medications, even those with a strong track record of effectiveness. In a medical environment where every decision can have critical implications for patients’ health, professionals continue to take rigorous measures to balance the benefits of treatments with managing the associated risks. Meanwhile, patients requiring treatment for bacterial infections are being redirected to therapeutic alternatives, as authorities advance research. Although this episode has raised concerns, it also highlights the commitment of health systems to proactively address any situation that may compromise patient safety. Keep reading:
