The map that teaches us how the land will be within 250 million years

The present has accelerated so much that it gives the feeling that nothing that has no rhythm of ‘thriller’ has no interest. I do what I can to resist, but the truth is that the old movies seem very slow, the classic novels a stomach loss of time and even fast food seems made with a tempo capable of sleeping the sheep. Luckily, We have plaque tectonics. Yes, that at first glance it is not exciting, but no branch of knowledge can make such huge changes with such small and imperceptible things. No branch of knowledge helps us understand how insignificant we are with just a walk through the mountain. A long time ago, in a very, very … close galaxy. Specifically, it was one thousand eight hundred million years ago when Nuna He gathered in a single continent all the land not submerged. Then the different continents were separated and for seven hundred million years to gather in Rodinia. It is nothing novel: that coming and going of supercontinents has been a constant in the history of the earth. The last and most famous, 300 million years ago, it was Pangea And one of the funniest things in the world is to see how it broke into pieces. In this video, you can see. You can see more things, in fact. In the video, the team of researchers at the University of Sidney He has studied (and projected) Seismic data of the last hundred millions of years to teach us how, where what speed the current continents began to be as they are. There are many curious things: Against the generalized idea, it can be verified that the continents do not move at the same speed. On the contrary! There are times that the cortex moves very slowly and sometimes very fast. In the Pangea division, as explained Dietmar Mullerthe cortex moved to about 20 millimeters per year. That is, the same speed with which they believe the fingers of the feet. The big question is … when will it happen again? And the restaurant, really, is not simple. As we do not know how plaque tectonics works, there are a lot of models that try to predict the future of the earth’s crust. Have ‘Novopangea‘that suggests that all continent will eventually be around the current Pacific; WE HAVE A ‘Aurica‘With India in the center of the board and we also have a’Amasia‘. But above all, we have Pangea ultimate. The upper image of coffete, It is based on the work of CR Scotese And add to the original image the place where the different countries would be. And what will happen? According to this model, only New Zealand and Scotland will remain as isolated territories. The rest of the countries will merge into a huge mass of firm earth. America will be attached to Africa and Europe (with the United Kingdom well stuck to it) will be north of the earth’s mass. Spain, meanwhile, will continue to share its border with Portugal, Morocco and France, but Tunisia, Algeria and Italy will be added to the equation. Nothing too different To the last PANGEAthe truth.

Goal approaches 100,000 million invested in metoverso, and has no intention of raising the foot of the accelerator

by

More than ten years have passed since Mark Zuckerberg announced the purchase of Oculus And he began to profile his idea of ​​’Metaverso‘, although the concept did not gain prominence until 2021, When Facebook, Inc. was called Platforms goal, Inc. Reality labs, the division that promotes this initiative, is on the way to burn 100,000 million dollarsand everything indicates that there is still a long way before those promises of incredible virtual worlds, where to work, play and socialize, come true. Virtual and mixed reality glasses, such as Quest Pro goal, Quest 3 goal either Apple Vision Prothey are the entrance door to this type of experience. However, these devices are not yet powerful, light and affordable to gain ground in the general public. A reflection of this reality is Tim Cook’s statements last year, when Apple’s CEO recognized that their glasses are “an early adoption product” intended for “people who want to have tomorrow’s technology.” Goal continues to burn money in metaverso Between 2014 and 2024, Meta has invested more than 80,000 million dollars in its virtual and augmented reality ambitions. The data comes from your financial ones that reflect an expense of 19,875 million dollars and a benefit of 2,146 million dollars to throughout the last year. In other words, the reality Labs division closed 2024 with losses of 17,729 million dollars. Far from lifting the accelerator’s foot, the giant of social networks remains convinced that this is the way, so he anticipates a 2025 with more investment and more losses in reality labs. Few companies in the world can afford with such long term. Meta, of course, is one of them: in 2024 he recorded net profits of 87,109 million dollars in family of apps (FOA), the segment that encompasses products and services such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. Although reality labs is closely linked to metoverso, its reach goes much further. Immediately, this division is the epicenter of commercial products with relative successlike the family of target quest glasses and Ray-Ban Metadeveloped in collaboration with Essiloruxotic. But it is also the laboratory where the future of the company is being built. Last year we first saw Oriona prototype of augmented reality glasses that, According to Zuckerberg himselfit could one day replace the smartphone as we know it. At first glance, Orion glasses are more bulky and robust than the finish lines, probably due to the internal components necessary to project images. And they integrate micro LED projectorscapable of superimposing information in the real world. The idea is to use the physical environment as a canvas for 2D and 3D apps. But there is more. Reality labs is working on the powerful, light and affordable glasses that we mentioned at the beginning. And that, of course, requires a lot of work. At the visualization level, the objective is to achieve a practically indistinguishable experience of reality. But it is not enough with high resolution screens in next -generation glasses, but it is necessary develop technologies that still do not exist to adapt to the complex human visual system. In addition, projects include the exploration of new interfaces, such as electromiography based, which allow controlling devices through neuromuscular signals. As the company itself recognizes, its bet is to develop products that we will not see soon, but will reach its maximum splendor “in the next decade” It will be necessary to see if this goal is still standing with the advance of artificial intelligence (AI), a field in which Meta is investing billions and that, at some point, converges with its vision of metavers.

This safe box office is based on an editorial phenomenon that has sold four million books

by

The roller of the premieres dedicated to the child public does not stop. After the inevitable avalanche of Christmas productions that have given us successes such as’WICKED‘,’Sonic 3‘ either ‘MUFASA‘, It comes almost without giving time to take a breath’ Polyán ‘, the story of a half human police half a dog. Land under the seal of DreamWorks Animation, signers of franchises such as ‘Shrek’, ‘Kung fu panda’ or ‘Trolls’. But this is not a more animation movie. Box office expectations. The first advances of What can be the loss of ‘Polyán‘They maintain expectations under control, because it is clear that the next most or less clear success for the coming weeks is Captain America’s new film, in mid -February. The forecasts point to an amount between 20 and 27 million dollars, which would leave the film in a very good position to recover its modest 40 million dollars of budget, and above all, they align it with ‘Captain underpants: its first movie’ , which raised a similar amount in 2017 in its first weekend and ended up pushing more than 125 million worldwide. POLICAN: ORIGINS. The mention of Captain Folders is not accidental. If at some point you have underestimated this franchise for considering it second next to the giants of child entertainment, think twice: created by Dav Pilkey, the original series of enlightened novels of Captain Colden It has sold 80 million copies worldwide. He has generated the aforementioned film and a Netflix series, but has been stopping since 2016. Reason? Policy took over. A hairy spin-off. At the moment, the success of ‘Policán’ has led him to generate more books than the mother series: he has 13 volumes, the last of this year. Everyone tells in comic format the story of this character that is born as a comic that reads the characters of ‘Captain underpants’. And in fact, success has been such that it has given light, in turn, to its own spin-off, ‘the Chikigato Comic Club’, which already has five volumes. May children sing. If something demonstrates ‘Polyán’ (although, an extra ball nothing negligible, it also seems funny) is the potential of family products, which continue to take the lists of the highest grossing of the year. We talked a few days ago How ‘Bluey’ is the most watched program in streaming of 2024, above series and much more publicized films. ‘Policán’ is a less known product, but it can still boast millions of books sold and a faithful audience that will see it in the cinema, and then repeatedly in streaming. There is nothing strange that films like this continue to produce. The strange thing is that we do not see one of these every week.

SoftBank plans to invest up to $ 25,000 million in Sam Altman’s company

by

SoftBank is discussing something important: they plan to invest up to 25,000 million dollars in Openai. That would make the Japanese company the greatest financial support of Chatgpt. The movement also occurs at a very significant moment. Stargate. The good relationship between both companies has recently been strengthened with the announcement of the Project Stargate, the initiative that states that several companies (including Openai and Softbank) invest 500,000 million dollars to create a large infrastructure of AI data centers in the AI ​​data centers Joined. And then there is the hardware project with Jony Ive. We knew that Sam Altman and Jony Ive had gathered to talk about jointly developing a hardware device with AI. Later it was learned that Softbank was too very interested in the project and had invested in it, although since then There have been barely details About those efforts. The relationship with Microsoft cools. But it is also that in recent months we have seen how the alliance between Openai and Microsoft also lost strength. The Colossal Microsoft investment In early 2023 seemed to unite them forever, but nothing is further from reality. A year later Microsoft began looking Your plan b for stop depending on itand soon it was clear that this was a relationship dated Cacudity. Microsoft is A clear rival of OpenAi, and the non-dilio between them is already teaching seams. SoftBank as a new girlfriend. All this seems to make Softbank come right in time to become the new OpenAi wealthy girlfriend. According to Financial Times The Japanese company plans to invest between 15,000 and 25,000 million dollars in Openai, but attention: that departs from the approximately $ 15,000 million that will contribute to Stargate. OpenAi Manirrota. Sam Altman’s company continues burning money as if there were no tomorrow. The October 2024 round with which he managed to lift 6,600 million dollars It would fall very short next to the one Openai. Many other AI startups are receiving important rounds, but the OpenAi company with SoftBank would be a new record. And then there is arm. There is another important element of this potential new alliance. ARM, Absolute Pilar of the development of mobile chips for years, also wants to become a company that offers powerful AI chips, and that could be an important element of the alliance and perhaps its implementation in Stargate.

They are almost 6,500 million light years

by

We are accustomed, or almost, to listen that the James Webb space telescope (JWST) has discovered a new galaxy in the confines of the observable universe. However, it is not always necessary to go so far to appreciate the immense power of the orbital telescope. Just stay halfway. 40 new stars. An astronomer team with representation of the University of the Basque Country and the DIPC (Donostia International Physics Center) has managed to capture in images and identify 44 new stars. This is the greatest number of stars identified in the distant universe to date. In addition to the stars, the team also discovered what could be a distant supernova. To almost 6,500 million light years. What makes this singular finding (in addition to the bulky number of stars found) is in the distance of these stars: these are found 6,500 million light yearsspecifically in the dragon arch galaxy. The stars find at such a distance that we see them as they were when the known universe had approximately half of their age. This galaxy is behind an immense cluster of galaxies, called Abell 370. A new lens for the JWST. The presence of Abell 370 It was instrumental in the discovery of these stars. All due to the gravitational lens effect. The enormous mass of these galaxies distorts the space around it, which diverts the light similar to how the lenses of a telescope do. This allows James Webb to see objects furthest than in principle would allow their already wide capacities. This phenomenon is also responsible for the “arched” aspect of the galaxy in which the newly discovered stars are located. The dragon arch is a spiral galaxy whose image comes to us as if it were a gum, all due to the influence of Abell’s cluster 370. The color of the stars. In his analysis of these stars, the team responsible for his discovery paid special attention to these. They discovered that it is red supergigants (such as the giant Betelgeuse, visible in the constellation of Orion). According to Explain the teamthis contrasts with previous similar findings that had predominantly detected blue supergigants. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature Astronomy. A new way to unravel dark matter. Beyond the relevance of finding such distant stars, the team highlights that the finding can teach us new details about the cosmos. Specifically, help us to reveal the mystery involved in dark matter.

Technological millionaires have lost 108,000 million in a single day

Just take a look at the list of greater fortunes of the world to realize that, in one way or another, AI is the common denominator that has catapulted these fortunes at current levels. However, the earthquake caused by Deepseekhas caused investors to doubt the real value of the projects supported by large technological ones, which has picked up the value of their actions, dragging with them the fortunes of their CEOS and founders. Specifically, Fortune esteema joint loss of more than 108,000 million in a single day. It is not the first time This happens. Jensen Huang and Nvidia in the eye of the hurricane. The news that the new China has not used the most powerful processors Nvidia for its development has made the market assessment of the Jensen Huang company lost 400,000 million dollars. As a result of that fall, the Jensen Huang fortune He lost a value of 20,100 million dollars in just one day, which represents 20% of the total fortune. Larry Ellison’s infrastructure. Much of Oracle’s success in recent years has been based on the structure offered for AI, So it is not surprising that investors have also staged their doubts selling their positions in the company that founded and directs Larry Ellisonwhich currently occupies the fifth place among the greatest fortunes in the world. Percentage, the New York millionaire lost less than Huang with 12% of his fortune, but in absolute terms, Oracle’s fall after the presentation of Deepseek caused him a devaluation of his fortune estimated at 22.6 billion euros. Collateral damage of the fall. Together, technological giants lost about 94,000 million directly due to the depreciation of their market value due to the mass sale of shares. This fall caused an expansive wave in other indices that, indirectly, also suffered losses. The Nasdaq index 3.1% fell and the S&P 500 left 1.5%. For example, Michael Dell’s fortune, the computers giant13,000 million were left after the presentation of the new Chinese model, while the co -founder of Binance Holdings, Changpeng “CZ” Zhaolost 12,100 million dollars. Immune to earthquakes. Although the Deepseek’s emergence It has meant a tsunami for the AI ​​development scene, some leading actors seem to put their fortunes in dusty and left unscathed from this stock market shaking. The biggest beneficiary has been Bernard Arnault, who has known Fishing in a scrambled river Adding 5,000 million dollars to their fortune while most technological millionaires painted their negative balances. Worthy of a teacher in stock jarism has been the role of Mark Zuckerberg, who has not only unharmed the tsunami that has caused China, but has added 4.2 billion dollars to his fortune. Jeff Bezos, with a more discreet role, has added 519 million, but like Zuckerberg, he has fallen to the storm being one of the main investors in the development of AI.

The Civil Guard disarticulates a money laundering that moved three million euros per week in cryptocurrencies

by

The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to whitening capitals through cryptocurrencies. As reported by the agency, 23 people have been arrested in the operation and more than 30 million euros have been intervened, mostly in cryptoactives. Ifade-Yuzuk. That is the denomination that this operation has received whose beginnings date back to 2023, when the investigation began thanks to the “identification of suspicious actions within the framework of the Civil Guard prevention work” in certain Spanish airports. The criminal organization was “perfectly structured and hierarchized” and composed of at least 52 members. What did they do? As explained by the Civil Guard in A statementthe organization was dedicated to money laundering using crypts as a vehicle. The group “bought” the cash obtained illegally and compensated by cryptocurrency transactions, charging a commission between two and three percent. Subsequently, that cash was “sold” and compensated in cryptocurrencies paying similar commissions. “In this way, the organization managed to maintain stable balance in the wallets used, guaranteeing a cadence between four and six weekly operations, with a flow of three million euros a week,” says the Civil Guard. Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The money trail. The cash came from the sale of goods introduced in Spain opaquely for the tax authorities, such as falsifications. These products ended in Badalona (Barcelona) or Manises (Valencia) establishments, although the majority of premises involved were in a Madrid town. The money was extracted from Spain through commercial flights, clandestinely or through statements of means of payment. The main destination was Cyprus, although later criminals began using road transport to sell illicit money both in Spain and in France and Portugal. As the Civil Guard details, “cash deliveries have been detected in different Spanish provinces (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante), Cyprus, France and Portugal.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard An operation of several countries. Operation IFADE-YUZUK has had two phases. One in the Ortrew of 2024, dedicated to the disarticulation of the organization in Spain, Cyprus and France; and another in November focused on its customers. The coordination of the judicial and fiscal authorities of Spain, Chipre and Germany, as well as the Europol and Eurojust, has been required. It has also cooperated with T3 TCE (initiative of Tron, Tether and TRM Labs companies), thanks to which the preventive blockade of more than 26.4 million USDT “has been achieved; and with Binance, which has blocked “29 accounts with balances worth approximately $ 152,000.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The result. All this operation has been paid with 90 records in homes and social venues, of which 77 have been in Spain. 23 arrests have also been carried out, 20 of which have been in national territory. Finally, it should be noted that numerous computer devices, 36 vehicles, 8.2 million euros effective, 27 million euros in cryptocurrencies, real estate and more than two million in bank accounts have been intervened.

Nvidia loses a record amount of $ 400,000 million per Depseek

by

Before the presentation by the emerging Chinese company “Deepseek” of a new low -cost artificial intelligence modelthe technological sector received a strong blow to the stock exchange generating record falls as in the case of Nvidia with more than $ 400,000 million dollars. The giant of the microprocessors who at the time led the market as one of the most sought -after companies in the world, this Monday, January 27, he was threatened with Depseek’s emergebut with a cost of $ 5.6 million, which caught the attention of investors since it is less than the billions of dollars than US companies invest in artificial intelligence. For Oliver Blackbourn, portfolio manager in the Janus Henderson multi -active team “the appearance of a potentially more efficient approach in AI processing questions the need for billions of dollars of investment planned in infrastructure and intellectual property.” While David Bahnsen, Investment Director of the Bahnsen Group commented that “which makes the massive sale of technology this Monday so discordant is that the valuations of many of these AI companies and technology do not offer margin of error. Excessive assessment always becomes a problem over timebut fundamental news becomes a major problem when combined with excessive assessment, ”Insider told Business. For their part, the markets in general were presented downward, for the operations of this Monday the S&P 500 fell 1.4%, the Nasdaq collapsed 2.3%and the Dow Jones until the moments did not record changes. Blackbourn says that “being more exposed than ever to stock markets, There is a danger that wider negative feedback loops are generated if a loss of trust occurs”, He mentioned to El País.

Nvidia has lost 400,000 million in market value. The lace has been given by China Depseek

by

It is the news of the day. And, perhaps, of the week. The model of artificial intelligence (AI) Open Source Deepseek R1 is causing an earthquake in American technology. And is doing it Due to its open nature. However, your business model is not the only thing that It represents a threat For AI and US semiconductor companies. The most surprising thing is that the infrastructure that Deepseek is relatively modest. To understand with some precision what we are talking about we are interested H100 of Nvidia. The company led by Jensen Huang He is already delivering The first units of his successor, the platform B200as expected, on paper is even more powerful. However, sanctions approved by the US government prevent Nvidia from selling to Your Chinese clients are GPU. Here largely resides the Deepseek rupturist capacity Deepseek’s efficiency and his open nature are convulsing Silicon Valley Chinese companies that are dedicated to developing and training AI models have not been another option to exacerbate ingenuity. We know that many of them continue to buy the most advanced GPUs in NVIDIA through intermediaries and in parallel markets, but possibly they are not doing so in the amounts they need. If we stick to Deepseek according to Financial Times The infrastructure used to train this agglutin model 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And training with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. These figures are very restrained. In fact, if they really are reliable, and they seem to be, they would put an unappealable fact on the table: Depseek engineers would have managed to point An extremely competitive AI model with very lower costs than those needed by Openai and Google to develop a model of comparable AI. The H800 GPU is largely responsible for this circumstance. And it is because it was Nvidia’s response to the prohibitions of the administration led by Joe Biden. Nvidia engineers chose to cut the benefits of the H100 GPU with the purpose that the Commerce Department would allow them to sell it in China When the US government prohibited Jensen Huang’s company from giving its Chinese clients its most powerful GPU at that time, the H100 chip, Nvidia engineers chose to cut their benefits with the purpose that the Department of Commerce allowed them to sell it In China. The result was precisely the H800 GPU, which is nothing other than a simplified review, and, therefore, less powerful of the H100 chip. Everything was complicated again on November 16, 2023. And that day the US government approved New sanctions to China that, among other prohibitions, they prevented Nvidia The H800 GPU. Presumably at that time Depseek engineers already had in their hands the H800 chips they needed, although Some analysts defend that, in reality, its infrastructure brings together 50,000 GPU H100 bought through intermediaries. If so, it is evident that the tension held by the US and China would prevent Depseek from recognizing that thousands of illegal chips have in its possession. Whatever the truth is that NVIDIA QuotationMicrosoft, ASML and other large technology companies are falling in a very pronounced way. In fact, the company led by Jensen Huang has lost 400,000 million in market value Given the possibility that Deepseek demonstrates that to put a vanguard IA model, it is not necessary to resort to the most powerful GPUs of NVIDIA or other companies. If this has really been trained only with 2,048 chips H800 OpenAi, Google and other companies will crack. And this industry will give optimization and efficiency the importance they have. We will see what happens finally. Image | Nvidia More information | Financial Times In Xataka | China is closely monitoring the United States movement with Stargate.
