The key is schedule flexibility

by

Topics like The return to the officethe Reduction of the working day wave four -day work week They are on the debate table today. However, all these proposals are nothing more than different interpretations of a much deeper debate: that of the Flexibility of schedules For workers. The hourly flexibility: the holy grail of the modern employee. Teleworking and hybrid models are not just passing trends, they are The silent cry of employees who yearn for greater time flexibility. The International Labor Organization (ILO) He pointed outthat flexible schedules not only benefit employees by improving the balance between professional and personal life, but also contribute to increasing the Business productivity. The ‘Annual Labor Market Guide 2025‘From the consultant Hays, reveals that accessing a flexible work schedule is the second reason (with 24%) for which employees would consider face -to -face job, being obtained a higher salary the first reason (52%). The four -day week: Is it a solution? Although the four -day week is an excellent proposal for many other issues related to the template well -beingthe optimization of Processes in companies and the dynamization of local economydoes not give a complete response to time flexibility. While it is true that the four -day work week model implies a time reduction that leaves a greater margin of labor conciliation, continues to be a problem for caregivers (with children or relatives in charge). In this case, being flexible is not working one day less, but employees may vary the schedule to their convenience, provided that the number of hours worked or the agreed responsibilities are met. Mathilde Collin, CEO of the communication platform with the Front client, warnedIn a Fastcompany article that “simply shorten the number of days we work will not solve our problem. In fact, it could increase stress and exhaustion by compressing more meetings in less days, leaving less time for creative and reflective work.” Therefore, although the idea of ​​a shorter work week is attractive, it does not approach 100% the conciliation and flexibility needs that many employees value. The key to successful conciliation. Teleworking and other flexible work agreements, such as working for objectives or having flexible schedules, are effective not only because they offer the comfort of working From anywhere and They save transport costsbut because they allow the workday to be paused for Attend personal commitments or relatives without being subject to a schedule from nine to five. That is the true value of teleworking or the hybrid day, and the reason why they renounce their jobs. Not only do they give up having to go to an officebut for losing the control over schedule of his day. Return to the Flexible Office. The return to the office of some companies has generated tensions where there were not before, because this change implies a fixed assistance schedule. As revealed by Hays’ work trends report, these tensions would lower their intensity if companies include hourly flexibility in their return to the office policies. According to him ‘Report on work flexibility trends of 2024’ Prepared by Techsmith software developer, 75% of the companies participating in the study had not included labor flexibility options in their return policies to the offices. In fact, according to Data a study From the consultant McKinsey, 38 % of mothers with young children states that, without job flexibility measures, they would be forced to reduce their workday or abandon their companies.

What if the constants of the universe are not so constant? We have taken an important step to know. The key is on the nuclear clock

by

Atomic watches have meant a before and after in our ability to measure time in an outraged way. These types of watches are precise at such a level that some of the most exact ones would be discouraged in less than a second at the time in which the universe has been existing. Despite this, these watches are not precise enough to solve one of the most important unknowns in physics. Closer to the nuclear clock. Now, however, we are a little closer to achieving a milestone that can open the door to solve this type of doubts, Nuclear watches. These watches will allow us to advance several orders of magnitude in the creation of time measurement apparatus, ultra -precise watches to investigate the new physics. From atomic to nuclear. The nomenclature can lead to confusion, and when we talk about atomic watches and nuclear watches we are not talking about the same technology. While the mechanism of atomic watches depends on the state of excitation of the atom electrons; in the Nuclear watchesthis depends on the particles in nucleus. As its name indicates. Atomic watches depend on the transitions in the state of their electrons. When they absorb energy, they can “jump” in their state. Jumps that can be reversed, only when this occurs, it is the electron that emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Something similar occurs in the nucleus of atoms, only that, being the most isolated nucleus of other physical interactions external to the atom, the transitions of their subatomic particles would be even more precise and reliable than those that occur in the atomic “shell” formed by electrons. Torio-229. To make a nuclear clock work, we also need to transfer energy to the atom, to its nucleus, of course. When we hit the nucleus with a specific frequency of electromagnetic radiation, we can change its energy state, as if it were a switch. Nuclear watches, such as atomic, would only have to tell the energy changes in this context. The problem is that causing these jumps in the atomic nucleus is also more difficult. The main difficulty is to excite atomic nuclei enough to cause the “jumps.” To do this we must hit these coherent X -rays nuclei, a high frequency X -ray type and therefore high energy. So much that, in general we do not have the necessary instruments to produce them. “In general”. And, as with electrons, not all these “jumps” require the same energy. Almost half a century ago, researchers realized that the isotope atomic nuclei Torio-229 (229th) It had a jump that required the energy equivalent to that of ultraviolet light. When requiring less energy, building a laser capable of transferring energy to the nucleus, it became Something feasible. Half a century of work. The “Nuclear Transition” of Torio It was discovered in 1976. But that was just the beginning. And it would not be until 2016 that we would observe and measure it. Measure it is key, since if we want to force the transition we must know the exact frequency with which we have to “bombard” the atomic nucleus of this isotope to be able to force it and activate the process. How close are we really? A few months ago, a group of researchers He tested Some of the key elements behind this technology, which allows us to get an idea of ​​how close we are to be able to create a nuclear clock based on 229th. The team tested an ultraviolet laser capable of creating precise energy to force jumps in the state of the nucleus. He also studied a “frequency grid” to directly measure these jumps. In addition, they also studied the transition from Torio-229. The details of the study were Published in an article In the magazine Nature. From dark matter to universal constants. And all this for what? Do we really need more precise watches than atomic? The truth is that this new technology would have important benefits, first for the scientific community, but also for all citizens. These watches They can help us to improve technologies such as GPS and other navigation systems; And also global Internet synchronization, also making the connection faster and safer communications. We would also open the door to more precise measurements that help us clarify some of the mysteries that persecute physicists such as dark matter. Maybe more importantly, these watches could help us develop experiments that resolve One of the most important doubts of physics, the one of universal constants They are really constant And they do not change depending on factors such as the age of the universe or the frame of reference in which we find ourselves, as we until now assumed.

135,000 years ago, humans had developed a key component of universal culture: language

by

A way of thinking about thousands of languages ​​spoken by humanity is visualizing them as branches of a tree, thus drawing The evolution of these languages over time. If we move forward in time, we will see the diversification of some languages ​​and the death of others. If we invest the time needle we can see the branch or the common trunk that joins some languages ​​with others. For example, if we draw the history of Galician and Romanian, we will see in Latin the common origin of these languages ​​spoken in remote areas of Europe. We can do the same exercise looking for the common trunk between Latin and the Swedish. For this we would have to go to prehistoric times, to a common trunk we call protoindoeuropeo And what would have been spoken Around 5,000 years. However, this does not serve to unite all the languages ​​spoken by humanity in the same tree. We do not know of a link that one languages ​​native to the Americas, the languages ​​of Asia and Oceania or the African languages ​​with the protoindeuropean. We do not even need to leave Europe to find languages ​​without known relationship: we can draw the common origin of the Finn and Hungarian, but we cannot unite these languages ​​to the Indo -European trunk. That leaves us with two possibilities. The first is that perhaps humans began to speak time after beginning the migratory movements that would lead us to adapt to life in various territories, which would imply that several native languages ​​arose independently. That is, there are several independent trees. The second indicates that this common trunk exists, but changes in languages ​​and the absence of written testimony and time have erased all trace of this native language in the known, alive or dead languages. All languages ​​have a common trunk, but perhaps we never find out their characteristics. The question of the original language can be presented as the problem of the egg and the chicken: what happened first, the appearance of speech or geographical disintegration of the human species? The interconnection between language and expansion of humanity is not mere curiosity because answering a question can help us Date more accurately Two of the key events in human evolution. A recent study He analyzed the issue through a review of scientific literature published in the last 18 years. The work examined 15 genetic studies that through different methodologies They tried to answer the question of when the populations of H. sapiensThey began to break down and lose contact with each other. The 15 works included three based on the chromosome information and, the patrilinerally inherited chromosome; Three focused on mitochondrial DNA, inherited matrilinerally; and the rest studied the set of human chromosomes. The team made a meta -analysis, a quantitative study based on the results compiled in the compiled works, to obtain a new estimate of the last era in which in which All humanity shared spaces In the same region. The estimate indicated that this happened about 135,000 years ago. The team concludes from this data that human language had to have an origin prior to this original diaspora. They start from the idea that, if language had not existed in this origin, we should have found any human society without language or, at least, with a radically different communicative form from what we know as speaks. The details of the study were Published in an article In the magazineFrontiers in Psychology. An evolution in several phases But what exactly is speech? According to Explain the team itselfprevious studies had already pointed out that Other hominid speciesprevious to sapiens They had the ability to speak. The nuance is that this does not guarantee the existence of a language, however simple it is. The issue for the team is not when humans, H. sapiens Or other species, they began to emit sounds, but when they began to develop the language “as we know it”, that is, “combining vocabulary and grammar in a system”, a system capable of generating an indefinite amount of expressions based on their own rules. “Human language is quantitatively different because there are two things, words and syntax, which work at the same time to create this Very complex system”, explained in a press release Shigeru Miyagawa, study co -author. “No other animal has a corresponding structure in its communication system. And that gives us the ability to generate very sophisticated thoughts and communicate them with others.” Miyagawa and his team also refer to the archaeological record to support their conclusions. As they explain, the archaeological record that has left us evidence of the existence of the type of complex thought that supports the language, evidence that date back 100,000 years ago in time. The team refers to this to artifacts that denote a “symbolic activity”, such as objects in objects or the decorative use of the ocher, a pigment. We have known for a long time that H. sapiens It has not been the only human species capable of reaching these levels of abstraction. It is perhaps that is why The debate To what extent species like Neanderthals H. Neanderthalensis They could have developed speech or even language Be far from setting up. In your articleThe team indicates that, although the “complex behaviors” such as burials and body decoration They can also be associated with these species, ours would have been the only one to have systematized them throughout the population.

A recruiter has given the key to what is the perfect time to find a new job: in March

by

In the same way that it is convenient to wait for the right time to request a salarythe job search also has its “sweet point” at a certain moment of the year in which the options of Find a new job They increase. As Beatriz Gómez, a specialist in Human Resources, in a hung video In your Tiktok profileMarch is the more conducive month to find a job due to the specific situation in the internal processes of companies. Choose the perfect moment According to HR expert, the month of March is the key moment for those who wish to find a new job. This is because, after Christmas holidays, companies spend the months of January and February in internal organization processes and Fiscal year closure. During those first months of the year, companies approve the annual budgets they have been preparing during the final months of the year. In these budgets the growth strategies of the companies are established, so Green light is given to new vacancies to cover the expansion objectives of the selected departments. Similarly, during the first weeks of the year, companies close their budgets for new projects and orders, so it is more likely to open new personnel selection processes for cover employment vacancies and reinforce the template during these first months of the year. Review templates Gómez points out that, in addition, between January and February the Performance assessments of all its employees. That leaves the door open to new additions to replace those employees who have not met the marked objectives. On the other hand, many employees decide take the new year To start a new stage in your work career, so the Hiring activity intensifies during the first quarter of the year. In parallel to the performance assessments of the entire template, the salary increaseswhich are one of the main reasons for job dissatisfaction. “A lot of talent does not agree with that increase and end up leaving,” the number of vacancies increasing during this period. This hiring pattern at the beginning of the year is not something new, but It is repeated cyclically every year. Gómez explains that fluctuations in work teams and in the need for personnel are part of the natural flow of companies. The data is right This “sweet point” for job search has its reflection in the official employment data that the INE collects in the Active Population Survey. Leaving aside the annual trends, there is a constant that is repeated year after year: the employment figures recorded during the first quarter of the year are always better than those of the fourth quarter of the previous year and, in many cases, than those of the second quarter of the same year. Unfortunately, You can’t always choose When to look for a new jobbut if you have been active job search for a few months, March can be a very conducive month to find the job opportunity you were waiting for, given the “need for new additions and job opportunities,” Gomez said in his video.

It is China’s key towards technological self -sufficiency

by

RISC-V architecture plays a central role in China’s strategy. This technology is A free hardware alternative Both Intel and AMD X86-64 designs and CPUs with ARM architecture that have proliferated in recent years. For the country led by Xi Jinping represents the opportunity to hold its technological development Despite the sanctions of the US -led alliance. In fact, the Chinese government has created a consortium of companies and research institutes that seeks to develop chips with this architecture. Tencent, Alibaba and the Academy of Sciences of China are some of the organizations that are working on the development of RISC-V architecture, and the US administration is very worried. It is because this technology can be used to point out extraordinarily capable supercomdators. In fact, Europe already has Epac ready (European Processor Accelerator), its first RISC-V chip, and has been designed to reside inside the next European superorders. Alibaba’s Xuantie C930 processor is a great opportunity for China At the end of August the Chinese company Unisoc presented its E450R chipa processor implemented on the RISC-V architecture that integrates an asymmetric cryptography engine 50% faster than that implemented by UNISOC in its previous security chip. In addition, according to this company, it offers a 50% improvement in transactions -based applications, so, a priori, it is ideal for high demand environments. Anyway, as we have seen, there are other Chinese companies working in RISC-V processors. “This open source chip will help build an inclusive and collaborative global ecosystem” Damo Academy, the Alibaba subsidiary dedicated to research, has developed The Xuantie C930 server processor. This chip with RISC-V architecture is expressly designed for work on high performance environmentslike the servers of the data centers, and, even, the autonomous cars, so it represents a very important step of China at a juncture in which the US sanctions and its allies prevent you from accessing the processors for more advanced servers currently available. Nor Guangnan, an academic from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has declared That “this open source chip will help build an inclusive and collaborative Global RISC-V ecosystem, becoming the new disruption engine of the semiconductor industry.” On the other hand, an analyst from the Guotai Junan Securities consultant assures that “in the same way that Depseek has challenged OpenAi monopoly with its open source advantages, low cost and high performance, RISC-V shows significant potential in the AI ​​era.” These two statements synthesize very well why this Alibaba processor is so important to China. In fact, the country led by Xi Jinping needs this type of solutions to sustain its technological development despite the restrictions that come from the US and its allies. In addition, Alibaba has confirmed that he will begin to distribute this chip to his clients During this Marchalthough it has not required how many units it currently has. What has corroborated is that it will maintain its available design to graduate it to other integrated circuit designers who are interested in it.

The European Central Bank has been fighting for five years to literally create a “European Bizum”. Now has taken a key step

by

Europe wants to have its own instant payments system. That would allow the dependence of the great market leaders, Visa and Mastercard, and strengthened the European financial ecosystem. And the plan begins to take shape with Bizum as a great protagonist. Bizum is looking for allies. As they point out In Electomistthe idea is to unify the payment systems that are currently working in the various countries of the European Union. Bizum, protagonist in Spain, has its twin schemes with Bancomat Pay in Italy and Sibs in Portugal. All of them now pose to be interconnected with a specially relevant reference. Wero, the German Bizum. The Instant Payment System It has been since summer 2024 being the great alternative in France (where they used Paylib), Germany (Giropay), Belgium and Luxembourg (Payconiq) and Holland (ideal). This project of the European Payments Initiative (EPI) is taking shape, and it can precisely be the other great component of that fusion of instant payment systems in Europe. The ECB wants a European bizum. Sources close to negotiations indicate that the project is on the table. To get ahead, we would have that giant of the instant payments that for years has tried to boost the European Central Bank (ECB). A long -sought project. Five years ago the European Commission He started looking that “European bizum” with the launch of the aforementioned EPI. In the project 16 great banks of Spain, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands participated. A year later the figure amounted to 31 entities. The objective, offer a unified payment solution with a payment card and a digital purse. But that has gone through problems. The initiative was promising, but the slowness of its implementation and the excessive budget necessary to achieve this caused several banks to withdraw from the project. As indicated in the economist, the Spanish bank had to contribute 300 million to the initiative, something debatable if we consider that Bizum has existed since 2015 and has a massive acceptance. Spain, Portugal and Italy teach the way. Last year Bizum, Sibs and Bancomat Pay began working on connecting their platforms and making possible instant payments between these countries in the same conditions as to the national scale. It was also the result of the Bizum Union to the European Association of Mobile Payment Systems (EMPSA), which was the consortium of southern Europe. That alliance brings together 43 million users, of which 28 belong to the Spanish system. Germany, France and Belgium were looking for something similar. Something similar happened with the EPI and Wero, which interconnected the mobile payment systems of Germany, France or Belgium and wanted to become the European Payment System. Now both consortiums have approached positions and according to the sources mentioned there are options to end working on an interconnection of all systems. This looks good. It is not clear if the conversations will end with a single European system – will Bizum be called? Wero? – Or if at the moment we will work on that interconnection of all these applications separately, but of course these efforts can be the principle of something great and important for the European panorama of instant payments. It is already known. Union is strength. In Xataka | The arrival of the digital euro is inevitable: let’s say goodbye to anonymity

Telecinco crossed a deep audience crisis. Until the key on ‘The island of temptations’

by

The hearings of ‘The island of temptations’ since The Montoya phenomenon He made his irruption on social networks have only grows, and have reached a climax in both narrative and spectators with this week’s galas. Although it will still be in the coming weeks with some gala of ‘What was …’ and the like, the last regrets in Montoya, Anita and Manuel, the tempting who generated a schism inside the couple has been the icing for this edition. “You have left me like a scolding.” It was alone One more of the many glorious phrases that the Infinite Andalusian Ingenio de Montoya. All immersed in a narrative that is hard to believe that he was not previously scripted due to his devastating sense of rhythm and his iconic Rancio melodrama characters (the hero who finds dignity, the liar who remains alone, The villain that punishes twice). Result: 16.7% quota and 2,103,000 spectators, the best Wednesday of this edition. The figures. They are not precisely nimios data: it exceeds 2.5 points and more than 300,000 viewers for the best audience that the program had had until now, three weeks ago. But above all, the most important thing: it exceeds the two daily titans and exceeds both global data and in strict coincidence of ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’. The motorcycle program had 13.7% of Share and 1,865,000 spectators, and well below, Broncano scored 11.1% and 1,519,000 spectators. Football again damages the latter again, since the Champions League in Movistar Plus+ made 8.6% and 1,139,000 spectators. The Telecinco respite. These figures suppose an oxygen ball for Telecinco, which remains the third option behind Antena 3 and 1. The triumph of ‘The island of temptations’ adds to other variables such as the final of ‘Big Brother’ and the Return from ‘Ana Rosa’ in the morningwhich makes Telecinco the option that goes up to January, with nine tenths. Of course, it came from playing background: its historical minimum in regular season (8.7%) and despite the rise, this February has been the worst in its history, with 9.6% on average. That is, certain notes of improvement are perceived, but the audiences remain abysmal. Ana Rosa as spearhead. Yesterday ‘Ana Rosa’ program, which returned in the morning after a dull evening stage in ‘afternoon’ (which curiously is working very decently in the afternoon without its alma mater) signed his best data since he returned to his original schedule: 15.2% of Share. In his strip, he led without possible competition, with almost two points of advantage, but could not stand up to Arús in his first two hours, which remains untouchable from 9 to 11 in the morning with 16.1% of Share. Even so, they are also good news for a Telecinco willing to grab any favorable data. Big Brother confirms the domain of the realities. For many headlines that monopolize its discussed final (which has made ‘tongo‘Be Trending topic in networks), ‘Big Brother Duo 3’ has both a confirmation that the formula is exhausted and that the realities They are almost the only resource of Telecinco to scratch respectable audiences (Share record -17.6% – with their end). With the failure of ‘Whoever falls falls‘, one of his great bets of this season, and the bass ratings of talents as ‘Next Level Chef’ (which You have to take over the strip of Late Night To give decent data per comparison), it is clear in which gender will continue to trust the channel. The future of the island. Now, Telecinco meets a reality that he had relegated to a secondary role obtaining his best audiences from the first auditions, so he undoubtedly has a very specific objective for the next edition: finding his next Montoya. Meanwhile, the new edition of ‘Survivors! The usual feedback of Telecinco programs, now at the service of responding to low chain audiences.

Chatgpt costs $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek just 83,000. A key is huawei and play cards differently

by

2025 began with a tsunami in the segment of the artificial intelligence. After months and months talking about different models and companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Goal And, of course, OpenAIa Chinese company took off the manga Deekseekan AI that shook industry foundations. Beyond its possibilities or how good it worked, which stirred the waters were economic and hardware issues. Almost from the beginning the question of How China had taken out an AI like Deepseek With the hardware limitation they have due to the Commercial War with the United States and the impossibility of buying the most powerful graphs of Nvidia (although with controversy). To do this, the company defended that it had to pull ingenuity Thanks to an infrastructure of NVIDIA H800 chips and a training of more than 2,788 million hours with a ridiculous cost: 5.6 million dollars. And it seems scarce because Openai He invested about 100 million dollars to train GPT-4. Another melon is what it costs to keep it. As noted ReutersIf Chatgpt costs about $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek drops to $ 87,000. And here some things that have to be taken into account. Deepseek is 10 times cheaper to maintain than chatgpt, according to Depseek Last Saturday, and as noted ReutersDeepseek revealed some data on costs and income related to its V3 and R1 models. The first is a traditional, more conversational chatbot, resulting ideal for the writing and creation of content. R1, however, is a reasoning model. It stands out solving problems, using logic and is able to show step by step reasoning, using continuous learning. To compare with better known models, Depseek V3 would be like GPT-4 and R1 something similar to OPENAI O1. In the report, Reuters highlights that the theoretical relationship of Deepseek-benefit costs is up to 545% per day. Of course, the company itself warns that real income is significantly lower, but another pearl they have left since Deepseek is the cost of maintenance. Keep chatgpt working costs about $ 700,000 a day to OpenAI (at least two years ago). The reason is that the infrastructure of Microsoft Azure Serversit has a considerable energy cost, you have to pay wages and, obviously, all the power in hardware to process the consultations you receive every second. In yellow, the costs. In blue, theoretical income Deepseek “only” 87,072, a ridiculous price compared. A few days ago affirmed That, renting the H800 costs less than two dollars per hour and the estimated theoretical income is just over 560,000 dollars, which would add more than 200 million dollars in a year. In the upper graph, Depseek shows the cost of maintaining R1 and theoretical income thanks to the tokens that are generated, whose price depends on the moment of the day, being cheaper at night. They also clarify that Deepseek V3 is “significantly cheaper.” This opens more issues. One is how it is so cheap because training an AI, of course, is not. Ignoring the accusation of theft by OpenAIif Deepseek has not deflated the numbers, puts on the table a situation in which it is not needed so many graphic power to train an artificial intelligence. Here the key is the ‘reinforcement learning’, the way Deepseek has found do with much lessbut it should also be noted that, although during training the Nvidia chips are used for the R1 model, in the inference it is using The Ascend 910b of Huawei. Huawei chips are cheaper And, supposedly, more efficient, and this decision of Deepseek is almost more relevant than what may cost to maintain the system. The reason is that you can teach the rest of artificial intelligence companies that, perhaps, It is not worth using the latest generation GPUs For everything, but only for training that occurs sometimes counted, before the implementation of AI, and then use other more efficient and cheap GPUs for inference. This inference is what is done later, in a use that we could call “real” The training would be the equivalent of swallowing technical manuals in a five -year career and the inference such as implementing that knowledge and reasoning starting from the base you have and without having to learn them again. In the end, the controversy of five million dollars Deepseek is going to be there for a while, especially when we compare with OpenAi numbers, but it is clear that Depseek is doing things from another approach and can be a good mirror for companies that come behind. And, with one China very focused on the development of both AI as of Hardware for AIit can be the perfect ‘spearhead’ model.

The key is to review at the right time

by

Forgetting things is not a failure of the brain, but a natural mechanism of memory to prioritize the really important of the rest. As I explained Charan Ranganath, neuroscientist from the University of California and author of the book ‘Why we remember‘: “We are designed to forget the irrelevant and prioritize the essential.” New technologies have reduced need to memorize dataso it is possible that this part of our brain needs some more training in recent years, given the enormous flow of constant information we receive. He Method 2-7-30 Not only will it help you Improve retention of any new knowledge that you acquire, but also contributes to maintaining the active mind preventing premature cognitive impairment. The science behind oblivion: Ebbinghaus’s curve In 1880, the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus He discovered that we forget between 70% and 80% of what we have learned in the last 30 days if we do not review it during that period. This phenomenon, known as “curve of oblivion“, It shows that, without periodic reviews, the brain classifies information as expendable and ends up discarding it to the corner of oblivion. The Ebbinghaus curve describes a strong fall at the beginning, and progressively stabilizes. That represents the importance of reviewing the subjects learned during the immediate days, saving that high risk of initial oblivion. Ebbinghaus’s forgetfulness curve Here the 2-7-30 method that, like other study and memory systems, is based on The systematic review From what has been learned, so, by reactivating memories periodically, you deceive the brain to archive those memories as relevant. As Ranganath recalls, memory is, in essence, a competitive process in which the newest flap to the oldest. If you do not recover from so much as long as it ends up forgetting. This strategy takes advantage of neuroplasticity, brain capacity to reorganize even adulthood. How to apply the 2-7-30 rule The name of this method refers to the time period between reviews recommended for retain knowledgeso the method is simple to apply. After learning something new (a language, technical concepts and even routines), review it again two days later. Then, repeat the review after seven days and, finally, 30 days after having learned it. The cyclic use of this technique to set knowledge progressively, thus enhancing what Ebbinghaus called “learning savings”, or the reduction of time or effort necessary to learn something that had previously been memorized and then partially forgotten To optimize results, the results can be combined with other retention techniques, such as summaries out loud or Explain to someone which proposes the Feynman method.

Indonesia will finally raise the veto of the iPhone 16, according to Bloomberg. The key is in a millionaire investment of Apple

by

At the end of last year, Indonesia prohibited sale of the iPhone 16. The surprising measure did not go unnoticed, but what really caught attention was the reason: Apple had not invested enough in the country. Google either had better luck. Shortly after, The authorities vetoed the marketing of the Pixelalthough they never officially sold in Indonesia. Now, everything indicates that the situation is about to take a turn. The return of the sale of the iPhone seems imminent Bloomberg points out that Apple and the Indonesian Ministry of Industry They reached an agreement to lift the smartphone prohibition. The sources indicate that the movement should be formalized this week. The Indonesian government plans to hold a press conference to publicize the details of the commitment. However, the American media points out that Apple’s investment has played a leading role. The firm led by Tim Cook would have committed to invest no less than 1,000 million dollars in Indonesiaa figure ten times higher than the one previously destined for the creation of several Apple Developer Academy. And what will that money be invested? As explained, Apple will allocate it to the construction of an AirTags production plant in collaboration with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., an old Chinese partner of the Cupertino company.
