Millions

The millions of tourists receiving Rome are uploading the price of the carbonara. And the neighbors have tired

by

In Italy La Carbonara it’s a Gastronomic emblem. Now also a symbol against Tourist massification. Before the perspective that Rome is filled this year of millions of visitors attracted to the 2025 jubilee and that this avalanche triggers (even more) the prices of certain services, such as the menus of the treatments, An association of consumers has proposed to institutions and hoteliers to seal a ‘carbonara pact’ that guarantees that they will apply “fair” rates To the dishes. And they have a figure in mind: 12 euros. A figure: 35 million. Rome is a enormous gigantic tourist destination. Probably one of the largest on the planet. That is no novelty. Your City Council Calculate that last year he received 51.4 million visitors, a historical record that leads local authorities to refer to its city as “the capital of tourism” (capital letters are yours). A new element will be added to that interest in the eternal city: the 2025 jubilee, an appointment that according to the Italian Ministry of Tourism will attract More than 35 million of visitors. And how will it affect prices? That is the question that was asked A few months ago Consumerismo no Profit, an association of consumer -based consumer. In An open letter Its president, Luigi Gabriele, recalls the forecasts of visitors to the jubilee and shows his concern to the perspective that this tide of tourists and pilgrims raises prices in the shops and restaurants of the capital. It is not a minor issue if one takes into account that in March the Year -on -year IPC of non -alcoholic foods and drinks was in Italy of 2.6%. “It is undeniable that the increase in demand for goods and services determined by the jubilee runs the risk of provoking deep changes in current price lists, some of which are already underway, taking companies in the area to maximize their profits in 2025,” says Gabriele in Your letterin which he warns of the damage to the image of Rome and the impact for the pockets of both foreign visitors and residents. Objective: Dishes at “righteous” prices. To avoid the association proposed to late 2024 Address the issue at a round table in which both administrations and consumers and businessmen participated. The objective: set a “controlled” or “fair” price for certain typical dishes that have become an emblem of Italian cuisine. Which is it? Gabriele quotes the pasta to the Amatrician and the Carbonara, which “are among the most consumed by tourists.” For that reason, insiststhey are the ones that run the greatest risk of becoming more expensive in 2025. “Our proposal is to define a ‘fair price’ for those dishes, shared with trade associations, recognizing with a special seal or logo those premises who decide to join the initiative,” raises Consumerism not profit. The idea was well received by the City Council, As needed The repubblicaand resulted in what is now known as ‘Carbonara Pact’a “voluntary agreement” for which certain establishments undertake to charge their clients reasonable rates. But … What is reasonable? That is the key. Consumerism does not go into details or Your letter nor in The section of its website dedicated to the ‘Patto della Carbonara’, but over the last months of the Italian press and Foreign It has repeated a figure: 12 euros, a sum for which carbonara pasta dishes could be found in restaurants in the center at the end of 2024, remember Corriere della will. It is not sought that the price drops. But he wants to avoid being shot. “Overcome 11 or 12 euros is not fair for the client. It loses the identity of what Roman cuisine is, which is the dish itself and what it wants to represent,” Explain to The country The owner of a place in Rome. The reasoning is very simple. The defenders of the measure They estimate That preparing a carbonara paste dish is relatively cheap, so taking into account raw materials could be charged for 6.5 euros. To that amount add other extra costs until reaching 12 euros, a price that in its opinion already includes the “margins”. And has it served? One thing is the theory. Another very different facts. Although consumerismo is He has committed To identify the businesses that have been assigned to the ‘Carbonara Pact’ and invites customers has denounced those who do not respect it, there are those who look at the initiative with skepticism. Marina García, journalist and correspondent in Rome, I recently recognized to The country that the pact has not worked too much. “It serves more to open a tourism debate than to have a real impact,” he adds. There are those who, after probe the city’s businesses, He found himself A few months ago, prices already ranged between 12.5 and 19 euros. Or even who speaks that in just a few years the dish has shot from eight to 16 euros. For now, what the agreement has helped is to influence the effect that massive tourism has on a day -to -day basis (And the pocket) of the population, a debate that has occurred in other parts from Italy (Venice, for example) and whom Spain It is not foreign.

Millions of people drink from the water that arrives from the snow of the K2. We have just discovered pollutants in them

by

The K2 is the second highest peak on the planet after Everest and probably one of the most difficult and dangerous peaks to reach for climbers. It owes its name to the Karakórum mountain range, where it is located. It is located in a remote puppy area played between Pakistan and India, but its remoteness has not prevented pollution from reaching it. And with it the risk of thaw. Black carbon. A study by an international team of researchers has found black carbon traces in the Godwin-Austen glacier and on the surface of the K2. According to Explain the study responsible for the studythis pollutant can be an ice risk in a mountainous area that feeds a river responsible for supplying more than one billion people. Black carbon is presented as small carbon particles as a result of the incomplete combustion of some compounds. These particles are part of the volatile compounds known as particular matter and can affect our health and the environment. As explained by the team responsible for the study, being deposited in snow or on ice, black carbon can accelerate its melting. This may imply the loss of frozen mass, reducing the time that snow passes on the surface, they add. Taking samples. In its study, the team collected samples of superficial snow in fields 1 and 2 of the K2 between 2018 and 2019. Sampling was also carried out along the walls of two well -excavated wells in the snow layer on the glacier. The team performed an isotopic analysis of the snow layer to estimate when the snow began to accumulate. All this for, In the words of Nicolás González-SantacruzCo -author of the study, “Determining the moment of formation of the snow layer is essential to precisely interpret black carbon data.” The details of the work done were published In an article In the magazine Journal of glaciology. A seasonal snow. The analysis concluded that the snow of the glacier has a seasonal character, that is, that it accumulates between October and until the end of winter and then disappear completely between spring and summer. This fact allowed to know in detail when the different concentrations of black carbon were deposited. Looking for the source of pollution. The team analyzed the black carbon samples also to track the origin of this pollutant. They found that the accumulated carbon during the fall of 2018 had their main origin in the North Basin of the Indo River, while in the subsequent concentrations (winter 2018 and 2019), the influence of regions such as the Middle East, Asia Central and Eastern Europe, González-Santacruz added. The sum of several problems. We associate the thaw of glaciers and other icy areas of the world to climate change derived from high atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. However, neither thaw is the only phenomenon attributable to this change nor global warming has to be the sole responsible for the thaw. Understanding the diversity of factors that are interconnected in the context of climate change is key to understanding the potential effects of this, both in terms of people and in what affects ecosystems.

Millions of people are interested again in Chatgpt. The problem is that he has achieved it by violating copyright

by

Networks had long since They didn’t go so crazy with an artificial intelligence tool. Normally there is a certain bustle when something attracts more attention to the account, but what has happened with the generation of chatgpt images based on GPT-4O It does not make any meaning. The generative AI has achieved something that had not achieved: surprise the user on foot. And he has done so shows one of the greatest criticisms of this technology: the violation of copyright. Content ©. In recent hours, social networks have been filled with memes, images and avatars edited by ChatgPT for look like Studio Ghibli drawings. The images are really spectacular, to César what is from Caesar, but it is not convenient to forget that an AI knows how to generate an image of a horse because, among other things, it has been trained with millions and millions of images of horses. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Otherwise. If an AI like chatgpt-4o is capable of converting or generating an image With the style of a specific author It is because it knows what the concrete author’s style is like. That is, ChatGPT-4O must have been trained with related content, based or generated by the study founded by Hayao Miyazaki. And what about that content? Which is beautiful, emotional and close, but not free or public domain. It is contained in copyright, an issue that has brought to ChatgPT and head OpenAi since its inception. It is no secret. Of course not. Chatgpt was trained with a huge amount of data obtained from the Internet, websites, books, publications in social networks, academic articles, etc. Content that can be freely accessible, but not for that reason. An image that is “on the Internet” is not “on the Internet”, is housed on a server that can belong to a company and can have (and surely) copyright. That you can see and download it for free to your mobile to use the wallpaper does not mean that you can print it and sell it or illustrate the cover of your next novel with it. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Live artists”. Openai claims to have opted for a “conservative approach” for the images that use the work of other artists and have “added a denial that is activated when a user tries to generate an image with the style of a living artist.” Like Miyazaki, for example. Before the flood of images generated with the style of the Japanese cartoonist, a company spokesman has told Business Insider that Openai will prevent “generations with the style of individual individual artists”, but will allow “broader studies styles.” In other words, Hayao Miyazaki no style, Studio Ghibli style yes. Which has its ironic point, because in the year 2016after seeing a demo of an animation generated by AI, the teacher Miyazaki said “I would never want to incorporate this technology into my work. I firmly believe that it is an insult to life itself.” My neighbor Totoro | Image: Studio Ghibli The style. It should be noted that no one can prevent someone from doing works with the style of Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli. The style is not protected per se. Another story, and is where the quid of the matter is, is to use protected works to train an AI capable of replicating that style. That is the real problem. We could understand it as the fan art: You can make an illustration of Pikachu, print it and put it in your room, no problem. What you can’t do is sell that illustration. OpenAi’s headache. This access and use of copyright content for commercial purposes has earned Openai some other complaintbeing the most important that of New York Times. Getty also denounced Stable Diffusion for having used their images to train models, Anthropic was denounced By a group of authors for having used their books to train Claude and a goal, apparently, downloaded 81.7 TB of books With copyright to train your models. The conclusion is clear and we have addressed it on occasion: The price to be paid for having artificial intelligence is the looting of all the contents on the Internet, beyond that AI companies They support and hide in the Fair Use. With generative artificial intelligence it seems to have assumed that if it is on the Internet it is free, and the reality is that it is not always. All large AI companies have ignored Copyright laws And, for the moment, there is no consequences. The debate, however, is far from finishing and probably this is not the last time it is put on the table.

Emirates has fallen in love with shows with drones. It already moves millions of dollars and aims to have no rival in the sky

by

More than a decade ago It was held next to the Danube Riverin Austria, the first show of drones of which you have registration. It was during a local music festival, with Few flying devices But with a huge technical deployment. Since then, this type of exhibitions has not stopped evolving. Today, drones have become an increasingly popular alternative to fireworks. The United States and China have taken the lead with mass shows, but the United Arab Emirates want to take the proposal a step further. And are willing to strive to achieve it. Emirates wants to lead the future of shows in heaven Talking about Arab Emirates is talking about a country accustomed to megaprojects. From the Burj Khalifa to the artificial island Palm Jumeirahgoing through The future tower with the highest watch in the worldtheir ambitions do not know limits. Behind this deployment there is a clear strategy: diversify the economy and reduce oil dependence. One of the last steps in that direction is to turn Abu Dhabi into a cultural and technological pole. Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed al Nahyan has opted for an unpublished show: The largest exhibition of drones in the world. The objective is to launch more than 10,000 illuminated drones, coordinated in real time to form three -dimensional images. The challenge is not less. Until now, few have managed to operate such a number of drones simultaneously. The record is held by Shenzhenin China, With 10,197 devices in 2024in a sample that beat two Guinness records. The United States has also advanced, With exhibitions of up to 5,000 drones in Texas. Although Abu Dhabi has not yet confirmed the date of the ambitious event, it is known that it will be in charge of Nova Sky Stories (a Colorado firm) with Analog, a Emiratí company specialized in mixed reality and physical intelligence. Arab Emirates was a pioneer in adopting this technology, and the shows began to gain popularity in 2020. Today they are a usual part of great conferences and festivals. According to Rest of Worldan average show in the region costs some $ 112,000 and implies around 400 drones, well above what a traditional fireworks show costs, which is around $ 13,000 and $ 41,000. The global market is also taking off. In 2023 it was valued at 338.9 Millions of dollarswith the Middle East representing 41 million. And, from what we have seen, there is still a generous margin of growth. The AI ​​is already changing the way these shows are designed. Skyvertise, one of the most active companies in Emirates, explains that algorithms allow reducing manual labor time to Automize much of visual planning. The future of air entertainment is changing, and the Emirates want to be in charge.

China is raising an unprecedented dam where millions of people live. The problem is seismic activity

by

Before finishing 2024 we advanced what was known about China’s last megonstruction. Actually, we could not talk about “another” as if it were something else in a long list, because it is possibly one of the most ambitious projects that are reminded of the nation: a super prey so monumental that would leave The three throats relegated to the background, producing three times more energy than the spectacular structure of more than two kilometers long. Of course, there is some problem. The superpress. It is a reality: China advances with the construction of the Motuo Superpress in Tibetan unprecedented infrastructure project that, if completed, will become the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world taking advantage of an abrupt slope of 2,800 meters, exceeding the capacity of the three throats dam (currently the biggest in the world). Located in The Grand Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpoon the border with India, the dam has aroused environmental, geopolitical and humanitarian concerns, especially due to the lack of transparency of Beijing about its development. Experts warn that the project represents a “water pump” for millions of people in India and Bangladesh. Seismic risks. The Tibet is One of the most seismically active regions on the planetit has been known for a long time because it is located in the collision of the Indian plaque and the Euroasy Plate. In fact, a recent 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Shigatse It caused damage to five hydroelectric dams and the death of 134 people, demonstrating how vulnerable infrastructure in the region is. Although Motuo’s work can be designed to withstand earthquakes, landslides and mud alluds could serve as a fuse and unleash, representing a direct threat to nearby populations. We speak, again, millions of people. This risk is aggravated by the phenomenon of Seismicity induced by reservoirs (RTS)where the weight of accumulated water in large dams can trigger earthquakes. An example is the zipingpu damwhose construction was followed by Sichuan’s devastating earthquake in 2008 which charged 87,000 lives. In addition, sediment retention by the dam could reduce the fertility of the soil downstream, causing erosion in the rivers and coasts of India and Bangladesh. Gran_Cañón Yarlung Tsangpo Environmental impact. The dam too would alter the water and climatic patterns Crucial for agriculture in the region. The Tibet, where Brahmaputra is born, is one of the most biodiverse regions of the world and a key regulator of Asian climate. The construction of the superpress could, for example, alter the monsoon rainfallwith devastating effects for agriculture in India and Bangladesh. In addition, the ecological impact of Chinese megaemblses is already evident in other international rivers, Like the Mekong, where the dams have caused droughts recurring and the intrusion of salt water in agricultural deltas. Impact between the premises and (des) information. It is another leg that must tie the project. The Tibet is under a strong control of the Chinese Communist Party, so the magnitude of the displacement of Tibetans that will require the work is not known. In this regard, Beijing has not revealed details about costs (It is estimated that total investment will exceed 130,000 million euros), The companies involved or the number of people who will be relocated. And if we are guided by other cases in Chinese provinces, protests against hydroelectric projects have been repressedit is suggested that any opposition in the Tibet will be silenced. Geopolitics of a superpress. He Brahmaputrawhich flows to India and Bangladesh, is a vital artery for millions of people. Again, that lack of Chinese transparency has generated distrust in New Delhi and Daca, whose scientists have demanded access to hydrological data to evaluate the risks of the work. India, meanwhile, Fears China use river control as a geopolitical weaponrestricting or diverting the flow in case of conflicts. Thus, and in the face of uncertainty, some Indian officials have proposed an alternative: Build a dam in a Brahmaputra tributary to counteract possible flow reductionsalthough this solution does not seem ideal and could also harm the ecology of the region. Imminent risk. Nikei had this week That the possibility of a catastrophic collapse is not a simple speculation. China has suffered hundreds of dam failures throughout its historyincluding the worst disaster ever registered: The collapse in cascade of the Banqiao dam And another 61 dams in 1975, an event that caused 85,000 direct deaths and displaced 11 million people. Even The three throats dam was on the verge of collapse in 2020endangering 400 million people. Therefore, if a strong earthquake hit the region and cause the rupture of the superpress, Millions of people in the Brahmaputra Valley in India and Bangladesh could be affected by catastrophic floods, aggravating. In addition, geopolitical and humanitarian tensions in the region. If you want also, it is feasible to think that with this mega -Obra, China would not only reinforce its control over the water resources of Asia, but also converting Brahmaputra into a geopolitical weaponincreasing their pressure capacity over their neighbors.

Experts want to redefine obesity to improve the health of millions of people in the world

by

A report prepared by experts from all over the world warns that the risk of diagnosing too many people is running, and that a “more precise” and “nuanced” definition is needed on this term. Doctors should take into account the general health of patients with excess fat, instead of limiting their body mass index (BMI), says the report. Those who suffer from chronic diseases caused by their weight should be diagnosed with “clinical obesity”, but those who do not have health problems should be diagnosed “preclinical obesity.” It is estimated that more than one billion people suffer from obesity worldwide, so there is a great demand for thinning medications. The report, published in the magazine The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinologyhas the support of more than 50 medical experts from around the world. New look “Obesity is a spectrum,” says Francesco Rubino, professor at King’s College in London and president of the group that carried out the investigation. “Some suffer from it and manage to lead a normal life, function normally.” “Others cannot walk or breathe well, or go in a wheelchair and have serious health problems.” Getty Images: There is a difference between people with excess weight who can do physical activity and lead a healthy life and those that do not, the report says. The report urges to “reformulate” the concept of obesity to distinguish between patients with a disease and those who remain healthy, but run the risk of diseases in the future. Currently, in many countries, obesity is defined as having an BMI greater than 30, a measure that estimates body fat based on height and weight. Access to medicines to lose weight as Wegovy and Mounjaro is usually restricted to patients in this category. However, according to the report, the BMI does not reveal anything about the patient’s general health, and does not distinguish between muscle and body fat or take into account the most dangerous fat around the waist and organs. The experts advocate a new model that takes into account the signs of obesity that affect the organs of the body – such as heart disease, dyspnea, type 2 diabetes or joint pain – and its detrimental impact on everyday life. This indicates that obesity has become a clinical disease and needs pharmacological treatment. Getty Images: access to medicines to lose weight like Wegovy and Mounjaro is usually restricted to patients with a high BMI. However, people with “preclinical obesity”, instead of drugs and surgery, should be offered tips to lose weight, advice and monitoring to reduce the possibilities of health problems. A treatment may also be necessary. “Unnecessary treatment” “Obesity is a health risk; The difference is that for some it is also a disease, ”said Professor Rubino. The expert added that it was sensible to redefine it to know the level of risk in a wide population, instead of the current “blurred image of obesity.” According to the report, the quotation-sturars or direct measurement of fat, together with a detailed medical history, can offer a much clearer image than the BMI. Getty images: BMI is not an index that gives us information about the person’s health, says the report. Louise Bour, an expert in child obesity of the University of Sydney who collaborated in the preparation of the report, affirms that the new approach will allow obese adults and children to “receive more appropriate attention”, while reducing the number of overdiagnostics and unnecessary treatments. At a time when drugs are prescribed on a large scale that reduce body weight by up to 20%, the report states that this “rethinking” of obesity “is so much more relevant” since “improves the accuracy of the diagnosis.” “LIMITED FINANCING” The Royal College of Physicians of London states that the report feels solid bases “to treat obesity with the same medical rigor and compassion as other chronic diseases.” Distinguish between preclinical and clinical obesity would be “a vital step” and “empower Many fear that the pressure on health budgets will translate into less money for “preobesos” patients. Jim Mann, co -director of the Edgar Center for Research on Diabetes and Obesity, in Otago, New Zealand, said that it was likely to emphasize “in the needs of those who are defined as clinically obese” and that the limited financing “most likely” is allocate to them.

Texas installed millions of solar panels on rural land. To maintain it they have had to hire 3,000 sheep

by

When one of the world’s largest solar plants was installed near his home, sheep herder JR Howard never imagined it would end up being a golden opportunity for the sheep business. Context. Despite being the main oil producer in the United States, Texas has made one of the country’s strongest bets on renewable energy to the point of surpassing California in solar production. In Milam County, just outside of Austin, is the fifth largest solar photovoltaic park in the world. Owned by SB Energy, this installation covers 1,600 hectares of rural land in solar panels, generating up to 900 W of clean energy power. 3,000 sheep. Under the shadow of hundreds of thousands of solar panels, not only insects that were previously threatened proliferate, like bees. Grass also grows healthily, which requires maintenance. The solar industry tends to rely on gas-powered lawnmowers to remove grass, which defeats the fundamental purpose of renewable energy. But SB Energy opted for a more sustainable and traditional solution for the maintenance of its land: a flock of 3,000 sheep. why sheep. In addition to the economic benefits, sheep reach grasses that lawnmowers can’t reach, such as those that grow in small crevices. No less important: the sheep happily chew whatever day it is, rain or shine. But the proliferation of grazing animals on solar farms is not unique to this Texas facility, but is part of a broader trend in the agrivoltaic industry sometimes called “solar grazing.” an opportunity. To JR Howard, solar grazing has changed his life. His sheep farming business has been industrialized and he now has 8,000 animals and 27 employees. An image that is repeated in 27 states in the United States, according to the American Solar Grazing Association, which reports 60 new agrivoltaic projects with grazing by small herbivores. The solar industry is a golden opportunity for sheep herders, who have seen the wool and breeding business in general decline. Agrivoltaics makes it possible to take advantage of sunny land both to generate electricity and to maintain livestock, herds of goats and sheep or grow food.
