Alzheimer’s leaves its mark decades before showing its face:; keeping vitamin D at bay is already a promising shield

by

Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia remain one of the most complex medical puzzles of our era, standing out above all for the absence of treatments that completely stop the disease or even reverse it. But science continues to advance and has now focused on a preventive factor that could be in our hands from a young age: vitamin D. It keeps moving forward. The main study that has sparked interest was published at the beginning of this month of April in the magazine Neurology. And the objective of this was none other than to shed light on how our brain behaves decades before the classic symptoms of dementia appear. To get here, a total of 793 participants from the renowned Framingham Heart Study with an average age of 39 years were monitored. From here, the serum vitamin D of the patients began to be measured between 2002 and 2005, and then, at the age of 16, they underwent different scans to check the state of the brain. What was seen. In conclusion, the study pointed out that maintaining higher levels of vitamin D, greater than 30 nanograms per mL, during the ages of 30 to 40 is associated with less subsequent accumulation of the tau protein in the brain. Because it matters. The relevance of this discovery is crucial and to understand it, you just have to know that Alzheimer’s occurs because two factors mainly come together: Beta-amyloid protein plaques, which accumulate outside neurons. Neurofibrillary tangles of tau protein, which form within the brain cells themselves and are closely linked to neuronal death and cognitive decline. In this way, the effort of science right now is focused above all on blocking the formation of beta-amyloid plaques around neurons or preventing the tau protein from accumulating in our neurons. Although it is something really complicated. There is a nuance. Interestingly, the study found no association between midlife vitamin D levels and beta-amyloid accumulation. The protective effect is limited exclusively to the tau protein, especially in the brain regions where Alzheimer’s usually strikes its first blows. This is good news, as it narrows down the biological mechanisms involved and suggests that vitamin D could play a specific role in the pathways that regulate how tau is produced or eliminated over the years. There is small print. As they warn in the press release itself, this is a simple observational study. This means that it is true that people with higher vitamin D in middle age accumulated less tau protein, but the study cannot categorically state that vitamin D destroys tau protein on its own. Furthermore, the authors of the study themselves are categorical: this finding is not a medical prescription. There is no current evidence to justify that massively supplementing with vitamin D pills at age 40 will protect the brain against dementia. This simply paves the way for future research to truly test this relationship in a clinical trial and lead to new treatments.

Gasoline has risen so much that even Mark Zuckerberg has looked for a low-cost gas station to refuel his yacht: Gibraltar

by

From the start of the war of Iran, filling the car tank has become one of those little dramas everyday things that we all know well. A few euros more, a sigh of resignation, and continue. But there is another refueling scale that makes your complaints at the gas station For those 10 extra euros that it cost you to fill the tank, it almost sounds like a joke. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and fifth greatest fortune of the world, owns the launchpada 118 meter superyacht valued at about 300 million dollars. Since the US and Israeli bombs began to fall on Iranian soilfilling your fuel tanks involves an extra cost of $278,880 with each refueling. The most curious thing is that the solution that the tycoon has found is very similar to the one that any citizen with a foot in this price escalation has probably adopted: look for a low-cost gas station. The painful tank to fill Maintaining a luxury superyacht is not cheap, which is why only millionaires can afford it. He launchpad by Mark Zuckerberg has a fuel tank of approximately 420,000 liters. To put it in context, it is the equivalent of the capacity of about 7,000 medium-sized cars at one time. The yacht is equipped with four MTU 20V 4000 M93L engines which, sailing at a cruising speed of 16 knots, consume about 982 liters per hour each. That leaves us with approximate consumption of 4,000 liters of fuel per hour. That is to say, an equivalent consumption 560 cars traveling at 120 km/h or 73 buses. To this we must add that the launchpad He does not travel alone, he does so accompanied by his support yacht, the wingman. Expenses double. The Launchpad has four motors like this According to price data monitored by the specialized portal Ship&Bunker in January 2026, the average price per ton of fuel for yachts (MGO) was $715. Data from March 2026 on this same portal suggest that its price has skyrocketed to $1,379 per ton. This means that filling the fuel tank launchpad In January, Mark Zuckerberg had to pay a bill of just over 300,300 euros, while doing so today It would cost you about 579,180 euros. An extra cost of $278,880 with each refueling in just three months. Gibraltar: low cost gasoline for yachts Faced with such an increase, Mark Zuckerberg and many other wealthy yacht-owning tycoons have done what any neighbor’s son would do in this case: look for low-cost gasoline. In this case, the closest and best located is Gibraltar. As and how they stood out in The CountryGibraltar is not only a strategic rock between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean that Philip V delivered generously to the British. For superyacht owners who frequently cross the ocean, it is the equivalent of a motorway gas station as it is located on the most optimal shipping route to cross the world by sea. For superyachts that, like the launchpad, they just made Its periodic maintenance in the exclusive shipyards of La Ciotat (France), the Strait route is the shortest to go down to the Canary Islands and, from there, head to the warm waters of the Caribbean to meet its owner in Miami. The same thing happens with the reverse route, allowing ships to refuel without deviating from the most optimal route between both continents. He launchpadwhich is more similar to a small cruise ship than a pleasure boat, stops in Gibraltar regularly on its routes between Europe and America. It is not because of the pleasure of its views, but because of the price and the refueling infrastructure for superyachts, cruise ships and large freighters that has created Gibraltar. Its special tax status allows boats over 18 meters to refuel with duty free fuel, making it a mandatory stop for these giants of the sea. It is no coincidence that he is one of the bunkering points busiest in the world, with prices that, even after the escalation following the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, remain lower than in many ports in northern Europe or the eastern Mediterranean.

for Mark Zuckerberg to leave California

by

Jeff Bezos is not going to be the only technology mogul patrolling the warm waters from Florida with his imposing superyacht. Everything indicates that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are preparing to change zip codes and move to Miami from California, as published The Wall Street Journal. The founder of Facebook could have found a mansion on the exclusive artificial island Billionaire Bunkerwhere you will have Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady or Ivanka Trump or Julio Iglesias as neighbors. Like other millionaires settled in California, Zuckerberg is not moving for the climate or the views, but rather he is doing so in the midst of the debate over new wealth taxes on West Coast millionaires. The Zuckerberg family packs its bags. According what was published by BloombergMark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are in the process of purchasing an oceanfront mansion in Indian Creek, off the coast of Miami, for an estimated price between $150 and $200 million. The operation is considered one of the most expensive in the history of Miami-Dade County, despite the exclusive nature and privacy of Indian Creek, means that the few mansions that come on the market in that location reach prices well above the average. Sources of The Wall Street Journal they assure that the mansion that Mark Zuckerberg would be negotiating for is recently completed, on a plot that is almost one hectare of land and access from the sea. The “billionaire bunker”. Indian Creek is an artificial island in Biscayne Bay, off Miami, that was conceived almost as a residential bunker (hence its nickname “Billionaire bunker”) with a single road that connects it to the rest of the keys. The island is divided into about fifty plots facing the sea, located around a large golf course. The extreme security and level of discretion offered to its residents, far above that of a conventional gated community, make Indian Creek a perfect place for the privacy of large fortunes. Among the residents already settled on the island are figures like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who own a beachfront plot for which they paid about $32 million, while others like Tom Brady or Carl Icahn reinforce the idea that this is less of a neighborhood and more of a private club for the ultra-rich. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg’s mansion is very close to the two adjoining mansions that Jeff Bezos bought, and that now is reforming to join them. California squeezes the ultra-rich, Florida rubs its hands. Rumors of Zuckerberg’s move to Miami come while an initiative to apply a single 5% wealth tax net of those who exceed 1,000 million dollars. This measure would affect to about 200 billionaires who live in that state. Most of these great fortunes are from the sphere of Silicon Valley and big technology, although some of these millionaires, like Jensen Huang, have assured have no problem paying more taxes. Several billionaires, including Peter Thiel or Larry Pagehave already abandoned California due to the threat of this tax. He California exodus to other states with more lax fiscal policies is not something new. Figures like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk already changed zip code more than a year ago, establishing their new residence in Florida and Texas respectively.

The PSOE wants Mark Zuckerberg to appear in the Congress of Deputies. It is a gesture towards the gallery

by

The PSOE wants to investigate a “possible massive violation of the privacy of millions of users” uncovered a few months ago and to do so has requested the presence of several Meta executives in Congressamong whom is its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The problem is that it is entirely unlikely that your request will be fulfilled. what has happened. The PSOE registered the request in Congress last Wednesday the 4th. In addition to Mark Zuckerberg, they also request the presence of Javier Oliván, head of operations at Meta, and José Luis Zimmerman, director of public affairs at Meta in Spain and Portugal. They count in The Countrythat during an intervention at the Metafuturo forum, the President of the Government assured that “in Spain, the law is above any algorithm or big technology. And whoever violates our rights will pay the consequences.” The reasons. everything comes following an investigation directed a few months ago by the group IMDEA Networks in which they accused Meta of spying on users through their Android apps. Specifically, they claim that Facebook and Instagram spy on the traffic that comes from the browser, evading Android permissions, allowing users to know their browsing habits even if they use the browser’s incognito mode. Meta would have carried out this practice for at least a year, starting in September 2024. The reality. How likely is it that Zuckerberg will set foot in the Congress of Deputies? From little to nothing, and the PSOE knows it. It is not the first time that a country requests the appearance of the CEO of Meta in its institutions. In 2018 Five countries came together requesting their presence in the United Kingdom to investigate Facebook’s disinformation and electoral influence after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. They were the United Kingdom, Canada, Argentina, Ireland and Australia. Meta’s response was “it is not possible for Mr. Zuckerberg to be available to all Parliaments.” Richard Allan, who was then vice president of political solutions at Meta, attended in his place. What will surely happen. In a statement published by EFEMeta has assured that he will collaborate “constructively with the authorities in this matter”, but at the moment they have not said anything about who will attend. In its request, the PSOE names two other Meta officials. It’s as if they admitted knowing that Zuckerberg won’t go and directly put a second and third option. The profile with the most votes to go to Congress is José Luis Zimmerman, who, as we said, is responsible for public affairs in Spain and Portugal. Zuckerberg’s appearances. The CEO of Meta has sat in front of politicians in the United States on several occasions, the first time in 2018 at the Capitol for the Cambridge Analytica scandal. A year later he returned to give explanations about Facebook’s cryptocurrency, Libra. In 2021 he had to answer questions about the role of social networks in the spread of hoaxes and extremist ideas. Outside the United States he has only appeared once, it was in 2018 in the European Parliamentwhere he was harshly criticized for avoiding many issues.

We believed that Tim Cook’s days at Apple were numbered. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman just completely changed that scenario

by

It doesn’t matter where or when you read this. It is very likely that today you have seen more than one Apple product around you. Someone answering messages in a iPhone 17 Pro on the Metro, a student taking notes on their MacBook Air in a Starbucks or someone monitoring their physical activity with an Apple Watch during a getaway to the countryside, to name a few everyday scenes. This massification has a name behind it. Tim Cook. And it is unclear how much longer he will remain at the helm of Apple. a few days ago, the Financial Times published that the company was preparing for Cook’s departure next year, giving rise to the succession that has been mentioned in technology circles for years. Now, Bloomberg maintains that That scenario is not so imminent. How is it possible that two such reputable media point in different directions? Let’s analyze the context to understand it better. Hermeticism and calculated silences. Apple is known for its corporate discretion. Not only does it jealously protect the details of its products, but it also leaves little room for knowing its internal movements. There has been no formal announcement regarding Cook’s possible departure. Everything we know comes from specific statements by the executive himself, anonymous sources and analysis by specialists. In an interview with Wired, published December 4, 2024Cook spoke about his future at Apple. When asked how much longer he saw himself in the company, he responded: “Now I get asked that question more often than before. As I get older, as my hair turns gray. I love this place (…) It’s a privilege of my life to be here. And I will do it until the voice in my head says, ‘It’s time,’ and then I’ll focus on what the next chapter will be like. But it’s hard to imagine life without Apple, because my life has been wrapped up in this company since 1998. It’s most of my adult life. And that’s why I love it.” At the beginning of this year, He also participated in the Table Manners podcast. Asked if he would ever retire, he commented: “Sure, but not in the traditional definition. I don’t see myself at home doing nothing, without intellectual stimulation, thinking about how tomorrow can be better than today. I think I will always have that predisposition and want to work. I mean, I was working when I was 11 or 12… You want to be pushed a little. You want to feel a little uncomfortable… I think I will always want to be pushed.” Sources: essential, but not infallible. Outside of those public statements, everything else depends on leaks. People with some proximity to the company—direct or indirect—who share information with journalists under condition of anonymity. In those cases, the reliability of the content depends on the quality, consistency and independence of those sources. Any media that aspires to maintain its credibility should meet these standards. What the Financial Times says. As we say, on November 15, the Financial Times published that Apple was intensifying its efforts to plan Tim Cook’s succession, and that it was preparing for him to step down in 2026. It is the only concrete—unofficial—date mentioned so far. The article is signed by four journalists, including Tim Bradshawglobal technology correspondent based in San Francisco, and attributes the information to “several people familiar with the discussions” within Apple. It is not a slight conjecture nor an isolated interpretation. What Bloomberg says. Bloomberg reacted days lateron November 23, with the newsletter from Mark Gurman, one of the journalists with the best access to early information about Apple. He does not rule out that Cook will retire one day, nor that his successor could be someone like Jon Ternus. But he does state something key: “I think the news was simply false.” According to Gurman, with the information he has been able to verify in recent weeks, it does not seem likely that Cook will leave office in the middle of next year. He even assures that he would be surprised if Apple faced this replacement within the deadlines indicated by the Financial Times. He sums it up clearly: “Yes, Apple will eventually have a new leader. And yes, it will probably be Ternus. But unless some unforeseen event occurs that forces Cook to resign sooner than expected, that time is not close.” So who gets it right? At this point, one thing is clear: we cannot say that the Financial Times is right. We also cannot guarantee that Bloomberg has it. It is possible that each media outlet has access to different parts of the same conversation, or that their sources are showing different angles of the same scenario, perhaps with their own interests. Our role, also as a medium, is to offer the most complete “photograph” possible so that you can form your own criteria. And, with the caution that we are entering speculative territory, it is reasonable to think that there may be internal conversations about the succession, although not all sources seem to agree on what they know, what they think they know, or what they are willing to share. For now, the only certain thing is that Tim Cook is still at the helm of Apple. An Apple that, since taking office in 2011, has gone from having a market capitalization of 350 billion dollars to more than 4 trillion. More than Alphabet or Microsoft. And in that process, it stopped being a brand perceived as aspirational or exclusive to become an everyday, global and omnipresent presence. Just like what anyone can observe today, from a subway car to a university classroom. Images | Apple (1, 2) In Xataka | Tim Cook has admitted that Apple is “very open” to acquisitions in AI.

Spotify is dealing with an avalanche of songs made with AI. So you have decided to react to mark the limits

by

You open Spotify, you run with a song that you cannot stop listening and, nevertheless, the name of the “artist” sounds at all. You wonder if there is a band behind or if it is a Track generated by AIand the doubt is not trivial: the trained ear may detect it, but for millions of listeners the border has become blurred. With generators like Suno either You raising their creation quality, catalogs are filled and the context matters. This week, Spotify announced New policies to stop three fronts: “Slop”, impersonations and transparency on the use of AI. The company states that it wants to protect artists and prevent the public from feeling deceived, without prohibiting responsible use of these tools. In just a few months, music generators have become accessible tools capable of producing thousands of subjects ready to be uploaded to streaming platforms. We do not talk about master compositions, but about songs that meet the minimum to sneak into mass catalogs. The result is an avalanche that makes it difficult to distinguish between genuine proposals and simple algorithmic exercises. For stamps and artists, this saturation not only generates confusion among listeners, it also threatens to dilute income in a system where each reproduction counts to distribute royalties. Spotify’s plan against music made with AI Spotify frames its new rules in a simple idea: music has always been crossed by technology, from the multipist tapes to auto-tune. The current difference is that artificial intelligence evolves at a speed that generates uncertainty. In this scenario, the platform states that it wants to reinforce transparency and shield the confidence of listeners, while respecting the freedom of artists to decide how to incorporate these tools into their creative process. One of the most sensitive spotlights for Spotify is the impersonation of identity. The company has hardened its rules and clarifies that it will not allow songs that reproduce the voice of an artist without its explicit authorization. This includes voice clones generated with artificial intelligence, “Deepfakes” and any unauthorized vocal replica. In addition, new measures are tested with distributors to prevent music from foreign profiles, an increasingly common attack. The objective is that musicians can denounce quickly and maintain control over their own artistic identity. Another front that the platform wants to stop is spam. Spotify explains that some users try to manipulate the system by uploading songs of just 30 seconds to accumulate reproductions with Right to paymentor repeating the same theme with minimal changes in metadata. To combat it, in the coming months will deploy a filter that will identify this type of practices and stop recommending them. The company ensures that the measure is necessary to protect the distribution of royalties and remember that in the last 12 months it eliminated 75 million fraudulent tracks. The third leg of the plan is transparency. Spotify collaborates with DDEX, the agency responsible for setting standards in the music industry, to create a metadata system that reflects the role of AI in each song. The objective is that the credits indicate if artificial intelligence has been used in the voice, in the instruments or in the production, so that the listener knows clearly. As reported by the company, 15 seals and distributors have already promised to adopt this standard, although for now there is no release date. The real impact of the new rules will be measured over time. For artists, reinforcement against impersonation and spam can translate into a fairer environment to compete for attention and royalties. For listeners, promise is a clearer experiencewith credits that allow distinguishing which part of a song has been generated by Ia. Even so, there is uncertainty about its scope: from the possibility of errors in automatic detection to the difficulty that stamps and distributors adapt their processes quickly and homogeneously. Spotify will probably continue working after this announcement. The effectiveness of the filters and the adoption of the new credits will depend on the industry as a whole move in the same direction. AI will continue to evolve and new methods are likely to make control systems. In that scenario, the company will have to demonstrate that its measures not only slow the abuses, but also help maintain the confidence of the listeners and the value of artists’ work.

The weirdest thing that Mark Zuckerberg was carrying in his presentation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display were not the glasses

by

During the last goal presentation, the brand revealed its new technology of connected glasses. On stage, Mark Zuckerberg made a master of ceremonies presenting in the first person the new glasses and did so equipped with the Integrated screen glassesas well as with the bracelet in your right hand that captures the movements of your fingers to control the functions of the glasses. However, while we were all looked at the operation of that technological pairnobody paid attention to what the meta -founding millionaire dressed in his left wrist: a rare watchmaking piece valued at more than $ 585,000. Hidden. While all worldwide attention focused on the technology of the new Ray-Ban Display glasses and the innovative bracelet designed to control them, Mark Zuckerberg managed to hide an even more unusual accessory than glasses with screen: a rare Swiss clock Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante Ewt valued at more than $ 585,000. It is not the first time that the millionaire chooses an exclusive piece of these Watchmaking artisans Switzerland to make some important announcement of the company. On the occasion of the announcement of changes in the moderation of target content, Zuckerberg chose a Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 Tourbillona totally handmade piece of the Swiss watchmaker valued at about $ 900,000. A “rare avis” of collection. The Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT (Experimental Watch Technology), one of the most unique and advanced pieces ever produced by the renowned firm. Highlights the level of crafts and complexity of its manufacture, with 428 components inside and an extremely limited annual production, since only 11 units have been manufactured for this first version, making each specimen an ultra exclusive rarityas Zuckerberg himself confessed to Drip in a later interview. According to the experts in the fieldhis greatest technological merit is found in his Foudroyante or “steering second.” The seconder is one of the elements that consumes the most energy in a clock since it requires that the hands of a complete return every second. However, Greubel Forsey has applied nanomechanics to reduce the size of that mechanism by consummating 1,800 times less energy to function than a conventional clock. Nanomechanics and High Watches. As indicated in The page From the manufacturer, Nano Foudroyante Ewt is the result of twenty years of investigations of Greubel Forsey, and his innovation with the functioning of the seconder It is qualified as his tenth “fundamental invention.” In this case, its milestone has been to get energy not measured in joules, it is that the mechanism is managed on a nanojulios scale. The technological advance of this model, not only affects its electrical consumption, but also the miniaturization also affects the size of the components, making the clock the most compact that has come out of its workshops, with only 37.9 mm in cash diameter and a 31 mm movement. With an innovation in each hand. The image of Mark Zuckerberg with the bracelet that controls the operation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display on a doll and the very rare Greubel Forsey clock in the other, is full of symbolism. A little over a year ago, this presentation would have made a Mark Zuckerberg dressed in Gray t -shirt and blue cowboy pantswithout more complement than the one presented by goal. On this occasion, on the other hand, an innovative company is presented that does not hesitate to ally with companies from other sectors such as Essilorluxotics to continue innovating. Who knows, if one day target dares to enter the field of smartwatches, maybe he does it from Greubel Forensy. In Xataka | The second -hand luxury watches market was in crisis.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t care to lose $ 200,000 million in AI. The real risk would not be betting on it, ensures

by

“We are going to invest aggressively. Even if we lost a couple of hundreds of billions of dollars it would be an annoyancebut it is better than being left behind in the race for superintelligence. “Those words recently pronounced Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO. The founder of Facebook does not tend to shake his hand when making risky technological bets. He already knows what it is to lose them: Metaverso is being a failure for the moment, but even if he does not seem to want to leave that bet. The company continues to invest in it even though It is estimated which has already lost 45,000 million dollars in that project. But for him the commitment to AI, although it seems exorbitant, is almost mandatory strategically. In the interview In the Podcast Access The Meta CEO explained how In fact the Risk for a company as a goal would not be aggressive enough. In the recent Trump dinner With the great leaders of the technological segment in the US, Zuckerberg promised to invest at least 600,000 million dollars in the United States until 2028. Analysts believe that The numbers do not fit: It is estimated that Meta will invest about 80,000 million dollars in the US in the second half of 2025 (including all its expenses).
