Eight years later, Spain is still hooked to see Simón Pérez and Silvia Charro shattered life live

by

Simón Pérez and Silvia Charro They became famous In 2017 thanks to An unusual recorded video for digital journalist but rapidly disseminated by social networks and media in which they talked about the convenience of investing in fixed -term mortgages (A good advice at that time, by the way). That was about the role, because his gestures and looks out of his own, as well as his broken breaths, suggested something else: in a business meal that had left a mother. Rarely before someone so openly intoxicated had been in front of the camera. A long polythoxicomaniac tradition. Simón and Silvia were the last link in a long tradition of the times of the first private televisions, when they offered an alternative content to traditional TV, and also of YouTube times prior to social networks. Programs like ‘streets’ They issued several deliveries in which highly intoxicated young people launched almost born slogans with a primal meme in places that were repeated again and again: arkings of discos, breathalyzer controls, peripheral neighborhoods … In fixed term. When characters like The Chuky de Cieza either Eclipse gunmen They had passed to the collective imaginary, Simón and Silvia appeared. The scandal with the video left them without work. A financial advisory company directed by Simón broke in one day. They tried to take advantage Fame Trying to take advantage of the knowledge about economy that, in effect, had (Simon taught at the International School of Administration and Finance and had studied Business Management, and Silvia was specialized in real estate investments) which distanced them from the Techno-Kids Levantines populated street. First challenges. For a while, installed in Galicia and prisoners of all kinds of addictions, as they told the magazine Hempthey lived to make Viral challenges that their YouTube followers asked for. A first step towards the situation in which they are now: tattoo the Forocoches logo, bathe in public sources, attend parties with strangers … They tried to dignify their situation trying to set up a financial advice company, Neotecalia, but that was not the most ambitious business in which they embarked. One million euros. A short time later, in 2024, apparently renovated and after passing through detoxification clinics, they founded Green Capital, a company that produced cannabis derivatives dedicated to the medicinal industry in Macedonia del Norte. They came to travel several times to the country to supervise plantations and make decisions that betrayed their wood as entrepreneurs. They added ninety partners and raised more than one million euros, with which he intended to transfer the cultivation operations to Spain. Not only was there no luck, but they contracted very strong debts with those who supported them. Many denounced them. Others add a sinister background to history. The drug show of drugs. The current situation of Simón and Silvia is chilling: through direct on Twitch (his channel has been closed several times due to the extreme of its content) they resume the dynamics of carrying out the challenges asked for their followers. Simon consumes live drugs (especially inhaling base paste), he goes out to shout extremist slogans disguised as Pikachu, Tira printers on the balcony, Destroza appliances And, above all, bet without brake, adding a more addiction to the many with which it loads. Meme addicts. Converted into Memberships At the orders of their more than 30,000 followers, Simón and Silvia have already carried out some calls for help between lines. A few days ago They let some friends enter the directthat were left in shock when they saw the conditions in which they live. Simon has asked for one of his followers “in case he needed it”, which suggests a state of drug -induced paranoia or a real target debt with poorly recommended lenders. Bad news in the medium term, in any case. Of the phenomenon, absolutely unusual in the Spanish internautic sphere, we can stay with how eight years later, they continue to generate an interest that they can only maintain starring in increasingly extreme and dangerous content. The limit does not seem to see, but the consequences are clear. In Xataka | An inexhaustible reef for Telecinco: Montoya is now translated into Japanese or German thanks to AI

We lead all my life by measuring battery capacity in mobiles. Mah’s war makes no sense

by

How many more mah, better. We have been thinking about the specifications of a phone and, to a large extent, is something true. A greater capacity battery is usually a more capable battery with respect to a smaller. Despite this, there is a somewhat more complex unit of measure, but even more precise, traditionally used in the technical sheet of computers: Los watts-Hora (WHE). This is the most precise way to determine how long we can use our device, without leaving the capacity to your fate. We are going to explain, without delving too much into technicalities so as not to complicate your life, why we have been imprecisely measuring the battery capacity of our mobiles. Why do we measure in mah. The commercial standard for the phones battery is the Miliamperio Hora, a very useful measure for small devices with constant voltages. In addition, it is much more striking to indicate closed figures, such as 5,000mAh, than to tell that your mobile has a 19.4 Wh. However, its two main problems are, in the first place, when there is a voltage variation (you will soon understand why) this measure ceases to make sense. Although MAH is easy to understand, it does not provide an exact estimate of available energy, which can lead to incorrectly assume how long the battery will last in specific situations of use. Water measurement time. The watts -hora (WH) are the most precise unit to measure battery capacity, since they reflect the amount of energy available depending on voltage and current. He watt (w) It is the power unit, which indicates how much energy is consumed per unit of time. It is more useful to know how the battery will be used during the daily use of your mobile. The battery voltage is not constant: it is varying as its percentage of load and useful life changes. A battery, At the end of your useful lifeIt does not provide the same voltage as when it is new. In fact, if you have a modern car or motorcycle, you surely have access to real time voltage and you will see how you change as you use the vehicle. The mobile battery is lowercase compared to these, but also suffers small voltage variations. The ease of calculation. Even if the voltage was constant, the watts time would be an ideal measure. For example, if your mobile phone had a 5,000mAh battery and a typical voltage (the most common in phones) of about 3.85V, that battery would translate into 19.25 WH (capacity (MAH X Voltage / 1,000). Knowing the data, it would be enough to know the consumption in watts to deduce almost exactly how much the battery would last. In a concrete situation, as a very demanding game that leads to consume 6W constantly the division would be easy: 19.25 wh/6W = 3.2h. A data that stables: about three hours of screen with the mobile spending all rag This is why in segments such as computers, where consumption is crucial and marketing (something) less important, WHH is established as a standard to measure battery capacity.

Galicia blocked 64 eólicos projects judicially. Now the Supreme Court has returned them to life

by

In these last 15 years, wind energy in Galicia He has faced multitude of legal problems due to great social opposition. In fact, the Superior Court of Xustia de Galicia (TSXG) has suspended in repeated different occasions wind projects for environmental risk complaints. Finally, these conflicts have reached the Supreme Court, sitting a precedent in Spain. The sentence. The Supreme Court He has validated The environmental processing of the Xunta de Galicia, reactivating the 64 judicially blocked projects. The sentence has also reinforced the legality of administrative agreements, such as the Campelo wind farm in A Coruña. Also, how The confidential has had accessthe TS has rejected the idea that several wind farms that share infrastructure should be considered as a single project, thus simplifying the environmental evaluation. The origin. The conflict began by The expansion of wind farms that exceeded 200 meters high. According to the countryneighborhood and environmental groups argued that some of these parks were in sensitive areas and did not meet environmental guarantees. All this leads to the judicial situation to be further complicated by the lack of a final resolution, with more than 130 pending lawsuits until the end of 2024. A precedent. According to El Confidencial, The Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia had asked to wait for the Court of Justice of the European Union (TJUE) to rule on an issue raised by the Ecological Association Adega. However, the Supreme Court rejected it. In addition, the Xunta de Galicia has clarified that the TSXG is the only one in Spain that has questioned the compatibility of the Law 21/2013 With European regulations. This issue could affect not only projects in Galicia, but also those of other autonomous communities that need an environmental evaluation. The Minister of Economy of Galicia, María Jesús Lorenzana, celebrated that the Supreme Court has validated processing Of wind projects, highlighting that the more wind energy occurs, cheaper could be the price of electricity. The impact. All this conflict is not an isolated case, but reflects a broader problem related to energy inequality in Spain. The precedent that the TS feels has guaranteed the continuity of wind projects in the community, but the opposition will continue to exist. Therefore, to move towards a sustainable energy transition, it will be necessary to balance the interests of the economy, the environment and local communities.

Six gadgets that I never thought I would need and have improved my daily life in 1000%

by

During these last years I have bought a good amount of Gadgets or accessories. I am not going to lie to you, some have not liked anything and I expected much more of them. But there are others who I liked much more than I thought, and I have come to give them even daily utility. Therefore, I have gathered the six accessories that I liked the most than I bought in recent years. Logitech MX Vertical by 69.94 eurosa mouse with ergonomic design that offers a very pleasant comfort in hand. Logitech G Pro x Tkl Lightspeed by 181.22 eurosa spectacular mechanical keyboard with macros configuration and quite silent and pleasant keys. Huawei Watch Fit 3 by 113 eurosone of the best activity bracelets I have had so far. Tomoc backpack by 69.99 eurosa travel backpack with a lot of ability to avoid always traveling with a suitcase. TP-LINK TAPO P100 by 10.90 eurosan intelligent plug that I am taking a lot. Soundcore Space Q45 by 94.99 eurossome bluetooth headphones that I love. I use them to work and for personal use. Logitech MX Vertical When I started having more and more discomfort in the elbow and the arm when using the mouse, I decided to prove how the work worked Ergonomic mice “Conconcreously the vertical ones,” of which so many good opinions had read and heard. I tried luck with the Logitech MX Vertical And I can’t be more delighted. Although the inconvenience has disappeared completely, I still use it practically daily, alternating it with the Logitech G502 Hero. Right now it is found by 69.94 euros. I paid something more for him and it is worth every penny. What I like most is that it is very comfortable in hand, I do not miss anything other mice (as a greater number of buttons), The battery lasts a barbarity And I use it on several computers simultaneously, since it has multidispositive connection. The only “paste” I could put is that it is not compatible with the Logitech G hub software, but with logi options+. * Some price may have changed from the last review Logitech G Pro x Tkl Lightspeed I never thought I would spend more than 50 euros on a keyboard, but I made the leap to mechanical keyboards with the Logitech G Pro x Tkl Lightspeed. Is very expensive (181.22 euros), But I am very delighted with him. I was looking for a mechanical keyboard that did not make too much noise By pressing the keys, and I chose quite well – not before seeing several dozen videos about certain models. The most useful of this keyboard is that It has macros —The “F” keys become macros when pressing the “FN” key – and I have it both for certain shortcuts and for text writing (text can be added so that by pressing the key it is written automatically). The battery also lasts a barbarityyou can customize the lighting key per key and includes a multimedia wheel at the top. As added, I have placed a resting so that writing on the keyboard is more comfortable. Specifically I bought Razer for TKL keyboards, although it is already discontinued. This, also of Razer, is practically the same and costs 33.46 euros. Logitech G Pro x Tkl Lightspeed * Some price may have changed from the last review Huawei Watch Fit 3 Throughout these years I have had several activity bracelets, and although at the time I liked it enough I was fed up that the straps were broken within a few months. Therefore, I decided to buy the Huawei Watch Fit 3 In its version Velcro strap And it is a pass. It is, from afar, the best activity bracelet that I have had so far and can be found by 113 euros in Amazon and for 109 euros in the official huawei store; The latter also includes a gift strap. The rotating crown is a success; It is super useful and vibration feels very good. It includes several sensors to monitor physical activity, but what I like most is that it includes many sports modes and some training. It even comes with Heating and stretching routines. It can be found slightly cheaper in other strap configurations, but I already tell you that it is Velcro’s a thousand laps that I have had so far. * Some price may have changed from the last review Tomoc backpack I usually travel a lot, so a year ago I was looking for backpacks of great capacity not to always take my suitcase. After shuffling many options, I finally opted for the 40 -liter Tomoc. Its price is 69.99 euros (I paid much more) and fits everything. It does not come with as many pockets as other alternatives, but it does not need. In the inside we have two large compartments: one that I use for clothes and another that I use for the laptop, the tablet and the loaders. It also has other smaller pockets for documentation and little else. The most interesting is the construction: It feels like a very rigid and resistant backpack and the rear is paddedso it is a very comfortable backpack to carry, even if we carry a lot of weight. In addition to the backpack, I also bought the compact bandolera Tomoc Compact X-Pac that I always use on my trips (and for when I leave home). There I always carry my Ereader Kobo Clara 2E, the Nintendo Switch, headphones, keys and much more. In this case, we can find it for 47.19 euros. Although he says it is a bandit, its compact design is closer to what is a fannyry, but with enough space to carry many things. 40 -liter Tomoc Backpack * Some price may have changed from the last review TP-LINK TAPO P100 Another accessories I use every day are my two smart plugs TP-LINK TAPO P100. Certain appliances, loaders and the work team turn it off during … Read more

Like ‘the Sims’, ‘Inzoi’ simulates your real life in a video game. The difference is that it takes it very seriously

by

Within just over a week, the life simulator ‘Inzoi‘It will reach computers around the world. The first impressions about the same They are landing And all speak of the impressive graphic effort that involves their recreation of the everyday, as well as the differences and similarities with the other milestone of the genre, ‘THE SIMS‘. However, its characteristics mainly derived from its origin, South Korea, raise many other doubts about their acceptance beyond the Asian market. 20 years without life simulators. ‘The Sims’ is one of the most famous video games of all time, among other things because it dazzled an important public sector that did not usually play, long before the term casual It became fashionable with the advent of mobile devices. However, the last main installment of the game, ‘The Sims 4’, was launched in 2014. With a Fifth Discarded delivery and the transformation of the franchise into a free-to-playits original model is exhausted. Does it make sense that there is a game that intends to revalidate the throne of life simulators? The big difference. To say that ‘The Sims’ is a game that aims to replicate everyday life is the same as saying that’The Simpsons‘It is a reliable portrait of an American family. Or, for not getting out of video games, which ‘Simcity‘He is a realistic urban manager. Soft or more strident, everything is portraits softened by satire, because in Western society we are unable to look at ourselves without the filter of cynicism and self -parody (or, in the case of ‘Simcity’, of bleeding criticism). That is the big difference with ‘Inzoi’, which takes very seriously its replica of real life. Such is life. In fact, that is the main criticism that is falling to ‘Inzoi’: “Not having understood“That ‘The Sims’ that supposedly imitates, between the scandalous realism of Unreal Engine and the possibility of climbing our own gestures, physical and movements. Or that complex system of reactions that makes our relationship evolve with the rest of the characters as we behave with them, in a maze of social ties that impacts the city’s own growth and the map. An amusingly ambitious concept that distances itself from ‘The Sims’, which more than a life simulator was a mischievous omnipotence: put your SIM in the pool and remove the stairs, to see what happens. Pure Korea. Possibly, the greatest “problem” to which Inzoi will face when penetrating in non -Asian countries, once the widespread glare passes before their graphics, it is his spirit so typical of Asian simulators and role -playing games: the need to take it seriously. Of course, in ‘Inzoi’ we can do the goat as in a ‘GTA’, but a karma system will protect the digital universe from excessive riot, which is what the European or American player tends: to force the limits of the games and simulation. There is nothing more to see a game of ‘GTA online’ to understand to what extent is the simulation of very different shapes between opposite points of the globe. Our simulator is social networks. Don’t we like simulation outside of China or Korea? No: rather We replace it with social networksthat cover our aspirational and voyeurist needs. We do not build complex and digital replicas of ourselves in video games, because that is our Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram profiles, where we perform a life that we want to pretend or that we long to carry, often raising it in a harmless and playful way. The greatest obstacle before him ‘Inzoi’ is that, without knowing it, we have already created the perfect simulation. And without the need for latest generation computers. In Xataka | ‘Inzoi’ wanted to be the new ‘The Sims’, but the crisis that social simulators live has also ended their expectations

Pope Francis made his opinion clear about the medical ethics of the end of life. The one we do not know is that of the Vatican

by

With Pope Francis in the hospital, he already hopes to know how the respiratory crisis evolves in the midst of his hospitalization for pneumonia, many things have stopped in the Vatican. The Holy City and “Renewable”For example. The Pontiff’s plans to make the small Catholic state more sustainable have remained in Stand By. Controversial issues have also been revived that have always been on the table. Without going any further, Francisco’s possible final. An unavoidable question. I told it a few days ago The New York Times Bringing a topic that the Vatican has preferred to avoid: What happens when a pontiff faces a prolonged deterioration of his health, loses his faculties and approaches at the end of his life? At 88, Francisco has spoken in the past about ethics in medical decision making in terminal cases, but has never revealed its own preferences in this regard. Although He left a letter of resignation in the Vatican in case of disability, its content is unknown and it is not known if you have designated someone to make medical decisions in their name. The silence of the “house.” The Vatican, faithful to his tradition of secrecy, has replied that “It’s too soon” To discuss these issues, despite the growing concern within the Church. Meanwhile, medical bulletins have also been prudent, informing that the Pope’s condition It remains stable And that, after its respiratory crisis, has been able to do without mechanical ventilation (He has even spoken). Be that as it may, uncertainty persists and the lack of a public protocol on how to manage the end of the life of a pontiff is sufficient reason for debate between theologians and ecclesiastical experts. The moral dilemma. The Catholic Church teaches that life must be defended From conception to natural death. However, within the doctrine there is a margin of interpretation When it is legitimate to stop prolonging it artificially. According to the Magisterium of the Church, the Use of “Extraordinary Media” To keep a patient alive, they can be suspended if they suppose disproportionate suffering or do not offer real improvement. The problem is that there is no clear definition of what constitutes an extraordinary medium, which leaves space for various interpretations within the Catholic clergy and bioethics.

Claude 3.7 has returned to life an old 1997 program. The question is whether IA can translate old projects in Cobol or Fortran

by

A veteran programmer received a two -year -old granddaughter’s visit a few days. It was then that he recalled that in 1997 he scheduled an application in Visual Basic 4 an application that might have fun. The problem was that he only had the executable, and it was not easy to be able to use it in his current equipment, so he came up with an idea. Translate this old APP to Python. What he did, as said in Reddit (With a post -written post for this AI), it was to upload the executable as an entrance for the newly launched the Claude 3.7 model. He asked him for something simple: “Can you tell me how to run this file? I think I scheduled it with Visual Basic 4, it would be great to turn it to Python.” Inverse pseudoengineering. The surprising thing is that Claude 3.7 showed some warnings, but then began to analyze the binary file and identified some program components. In fact it went further and translated that code to Python using the Pygame bookstore. Modernized code. The AI ​​system managed to perfectly replicate the functionality of the original program, and the model also provided instructions to install and execute it without problem, but it also was executed and operated 100% from the first moment. And all in five minutes. And modifications, the ones you want. This user would then ask for some improvements, such as associating certain sounds to the space bar or adding color typefaces, and Claude 3.7 modified the code perfectly to offer those improvements. But. The user shared All conversation in Claude so that anyone could check the process that followed. As Visual Basic said P-Code (Pseudocode), a kind of intermediate compilation in which there are some recognizable elements, but not too many to help that reverse engineering task. A door to modernize old software projects. It is true that the pseudocode generated by VB facilitated that “reverse engineering” task, but still this experiment with Claude 3.7 seems to open the door for many other software projects to modernize. A way out for mastodons created with Cobol or Fortran? In fact, already very veteran programming languages ​​such as Cobol or Fortan are still very important in industries such as banking, and force to maintain systems that can maintain compatibility with these old applications. Lack of programmers. There are no longer many programmers who dedicate themselves to these programming languages, which makes them “translate” them to more modern programming languages ​​is especially interesting. In 2023 IBM showed precisely A IA -based project to translate Cobol programsbut it is not clear if that has allowed to complete ambitious projects in that sense. What Claude 3.7 of course opens the door to achieve it. THE EXAMPLE OF MOCAS. We have already talked about Moccas, software created in 1958 and used in the US administration for the “mechanization of administration service contracts.” It is scheduled in Cobol-in fact it was originally programmed in Flow-Matic-and continues to work today, but it has been a long time since in the US They look for ways to adapt it to the new times. Perhaps Claude 3.7 or similar AI models manage to offer a solution to that problem. Even so, difficult. The example shown by that veteran programmer is striking, but it was a small application. Projects such as Moccas are enormously more complex and are part of a series of interdependencies with other components, which makes this possible task of reverse engineering and translation more difficult. But be careful: it may not be impossible, and at least Claude 3.7 and other models can end up being precisely the tool we needed to carry out that task.

The Atlantic has a ‘lost city’ with the key to life on other planets. Now is in danger

by

The earth seems to have no secrets at this point. That if we talk about the earth’s part, of course, because although nWe are putting the batteries With the oceanic background, much remains to be known. And one of the examples is the lost city found in 2000, a set of structures in the middle of the Atlantic that are not only curious, but they help us with the most unexpected: Study extraterrestrial ecosystems. And, ultimately, determine the clues that must be followed to find life in the universe. Only. More than 700 meters deep west of the Mesoatlantic dorsalon December 4, 2000, some explorers in command of remote control submersibles found something surprising: a set of walls and monoliths that reached 60 meters high and had a curious bluish tone due to the foci of the submarines. These carbonated structures were something that the scientific community had never seen and was baptized as the ‘lost city’. Among that we love giving rimbombant names and that could resemble Atlantis, the marketing part was already made. Chimneys. The full name is, really, ‘Hydrothermal field of the lost city’, and it is the oldest oceanic ventilation site, at least what we know. It is estimated that he is about 120,000 years old and, during all that time, his chimneys have been expelling gases at temperatures between 40 and 90 degrees Celsius. These hydrothermal vents release methane and hydrogen, but are not volcanic, so they do not produce co₂, hydrogen sulfide or metals. With the passage of the millennia, that expelled material was accumulated in the form of columns and walls of Brucita, Aragonito and Carbonate of calcium, with a whitish color and very particular schegic texture. Point of interest. For the scientific community, the lost city is a mine. Its particular environment and the conditions of its formation, as well as its age, can provide clues about the origin of life on Earth, as well as a more detailed vision of the planet’s composition. Over the years they have been studying their materials and, in 2024, a group of scientists advertisement The recovery of a rock sample more than a meter long. With her, they hope to find crucial evidence about the origin of life on earth. There are some spectacular formations. Researchers at the University of Washington described some vents as structures that “cry” fluids that form carbonated structures of multiple tips as curious as the one we see in the photo that we leave just on these lines. But there are not only rocks in the lost city. Extraterrestrials. At that depth, without oxygen, with a highly alkaline and hydrogen, methane and other gases dissolved in water, we might think that it is a ‘lunar’ ecosystem in which life is impossible. Curiously, It is full of animals such as anemones, microbial communities, crustaceans, snails and, occasionally, deep fish. The question is how life can prosper when it comes to an environment in which there is no sunlight, there is no oxygen and both hydrogen and methane, they camp their wide. That is precisely what also called the attention Of the researchers because the study of this fact can give us clues about what kind of life or signs of life to look for in environments that can be similar, such as redry or Europe (Saturn and Jupiter moons). Threatened heritage. Writing this has given me to think about ‘Avatar‘Not only because the film has attractive extraterrestrial structures, but because its director, James Cameron, is a passionate about underwater expeditions. And something that happens in his film is that we arrive at another planet and sweep it to get resources. We must not go to Pandora -the planet of ‘avatar’-, we continue to see it in areas such as the Amazon. And that we destroy the lost city is something that researchers fear. Poland got In 2018, the exploitation rights of the seabed around the lost city and, although the hydrothermal field has no valuable resources for us, altering its surroundings could endanger the entire area. That’s why you are working so that the lost city is declared a World Heritage Site with the aim of protecting it as much as possible and being able to continue studying it. We will see what happens with an area that is not the only hydrothermal field in the world, but one whose particularities can help understand how life develops in extreme conditions and in similar extraterrestrial environments.

Two videos show how 80 people from a plane have saved life in the last plane crash. There is triple explanation

by

After the tragic accident last month Between an American Airlines plane and an United States army helicopter that left 67 dead, on Monday there was a similar scene when it occurred A forced landing of Delta Air Lines’s flight 4819 In Toronto. Two videos showed rawly the scene that the 80 people who went on board and who ended the plane turned. And yet, it did not end in tragedy. How could they be saved? The “miracle.” Delta Air Lines’s flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, made a seemingly normal landing at the Pearson International Airport in Toronto until, Suddenly, everything went wrong. As soon as the wheels began to touch the wheel, the plane slipped, hit its right wing, turned on its axis and ended upside down, leaving an absolute chaos scene. But as we said, and despite the violence of the accident, The 80 passengers and crew managed to survivealthough 18 were injured, including an adult and a child in critical condition, although already out of danger. The impact and the fight to escape. They counted at the Washington Post in a report report that the passengers described the impact as “collide with a wall” before the plane turned. When they were face down, many remained suspended by their seat belts, seeing how the fuel slid through the windows and the fire consumed part of the aircraft. Pete Carlson, a paramedic on board, managed to unbutch and drop to the roof of the planenow turned into the ground, before helping others free from their seats. Meanwhile, passengers, in shock, collaborated with each other to get out as quickly as possible. A video recorded by Pete Koukovanother passenger, showed the crew organizing the evacuation with firm and urgent instructions, guiding people through emergency doors in an inverted plane, a rare scenario in aerial accidents. Outside, firefighters sprayed fushes with foam, while black smoke and flames hindered visibility in full snowstorm. How tragedy was avoided. In front of many Other aerial catastrophes More or less recent, experts have been detailing these days how the “miracle” was possible. Actually and as we will see, there is not a single factor, but several that helped that finally there was not a single death. Three were the main factors that we describe. Plane design and safety measures. He Bombardier CRJ900like all modern commercial planes, it is built with standards called “Crashworthiness”which means that its structure, safety belts and seats are designed to maximize survival in case of impact. In this regard, the cabin absorbed much of the strength of the crash without disintegrating, allowing passengers to go alive. According to Graham Braithwaiteexpert in aeronautics at the University of Cranfield, these elements were fundamental for passengers to resist the impact of the overturn without fatal injuries. Professor Michael J. McCormickfrom the Embry-Riddle University, stood out in the post That engineering and aeronautical regulations have advanced so much that accidents that in the past would have been lethal can now result in total survival. Assessment of the crew. Equally important that the design of the aircraft was crew trainingdecisive to organize a rapid and effective evacuation. Despite confusion and chaos, they managed to maintain order and get everyone out of the plane in a matter of minutes, even with the aircraft dump. Here it is important to remember that the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) require that Any plane with more than 44 passengers can be evacuated in less than 90 seconds. However, in this case, the evacuation was more complex because the plane was overturned, hindering the orientation and exit of the passengers. Immediate response of emergency equipment. The third of the key legs. Toronto airport authorities acted rapidlyensuring the area and preventing the fire from extending to fuel deposits. The first air control reports confirmed the severity of the situation: “The plane is face down and in flames”, which led to a rapid mobilization of rescue equipment. According to the norms of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), rescue teams They must respond in less than two minutes. In this case, firefighters and paramedics arrived at the place in a matter of minutes, stifled the fire and helped evacuate passengers. Causes of the accident. Although the exact cause of the accident has not yet been determined, it is known that landing occurred under wind conditions up to 70 km/hyve accumulated On the track after two recent storms. Thus, the airport firefighters ruled out problems with the track, which suggests that other factors, such as mechanical failure or human error, could have influenced. Be that as it may, in a context where Recent air accidents They have resulted in fatal tragediesthe total survival of flight passengers 4819 is a real testimony of the advance in aeronautical engineering, security protocols and emergency response. Although The images of the airplane burned and overturned They suggest an inevitable disaster, the combination of these factors allowed to avoid the worst. As Carlson underlined In his interview, after leaving the plane I only thought about one thing: “I didn’t care about the cold, I didn’t care how much I had to walk, all we wanted to be out of the plane.” Image | Yyzbrennan In Xataka | The main suspect of the plane crash in South Korea is common in aviation.

Congress has shown its intention to extend its useful life

by

The Congress of Deputies has approved This Tuesday a non -law proposition (NLP) on the extension of the useful life of the Nuclear power plants in Spain. The initiative, presented by the Popular Party, has come forward with 171 votes in favor (of the 349 cast), thanks to the support of Vox and a UPN deputy, in addition to the abstention of Junts and ERC. Of course, being a non -binding figure, its approval does not entail any change in the formalized closing calendar six years ago, but it does reflect the position of the chamber and summons the government to assess possible measures in that direction. No change in the nuclear blackout. The Government marked the course of the future energy policy in 2019, when it agreed with the National Radioactive Waste (Enresa), Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy and EDP company, the stepped closure of the five nuclear power plants in the country. It is expected that dismantling tasks will begin in 2027 and extend until 2035, with some facilities ceasing to produce electricity before others. To do this, several measures are being launched in parallel, such as the development of a radioactive waste cemetery and a portable laboratory for transfer. Nuclear remains a significant energy source. According to the Nuclear Forumwith electricity data, nuclear plants generated 19.57% of electricity in Spain in 2024. It was not only the technology with the highest number of hours of operation at full power (83.27% of the total hours) , but also the second most important production source in the country, only behind wind. At present, government plans go through renewable energies, But some actors believe that this bet will result in a less robust and stable electrical system than the current one. Nuclear centrals from Spain Europe attends the “rebirth” of nuclear. While Spain keeps firm its nuclear closure calendar, in much of Europe the trend is the opposite. A clear example is Francewhich a decade ago planned to reduce its dependence on atomic energy, but in 2022 it changed course. Not only did he abandon that idea, but decided to bet on new reactors. Finland, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary They have also announced or are considering the construction of new nuclear plants. The reasons for doing them are many, but one of them is artificial intelligence (AI). AI and Nuclear Energy. Data centers that train next -generation language models require huge amounts of energy. These avant -garde infrastructures operate with the most advanced processing units of companies such as NVIDIA, which triggers their electric demand. Given the need for an abundant and stable supply, technological giants have begun to close agreements to directly access nuclear energy. Microsoft, Google, Oracle and other companies have already taken steps in that direction. And some governments, such as the American and French, are supporting these initiatives. The United States has given green light to the use of federal lands for the construction of data centers and seeks to expedite both permits and access to nuclear energy. Meanwhile, France advances strongly to become a key actor in the sector. Not only is it promoting “the largest campus in Europe” With investment of United Arab Emiratesbut also promotes a data center of more than 1 power gigavatio In collaboration with Fluidstack. “Electricity is available, you just have to connect”, Emmanuel Macron said this week. A small victory, although without concrete changes. As we have seen above, the non -law proposition has come forward with the support of Junts and ERC, Catalan parties in whose region are the nuclear power plants of Ascó I, Ascó II and Vandellós II. These facilities generate 60% of the electricity consumed in Catalonia, which underlines the relevance of the debate. However, beyond reflecting a political position and reviving the discussion about the future of nuclear energy in Spain, the measure does not alter the planned closing calendar. Today, the official plan continues its course and there is no indications that it will be modified.
