Voltage problems have returned to the Spanish electrical system and the big question is what have we been doing these last six months

by

The ghost of big blackout has returned to the fray: the Spanish electrical system has voltage problems. Serious problems, indeed. So serious that Red Eléctrica has had to ask for permission to take action on the matter. It goes without saying, but uncertainty spread like wildfire. Six months after the great blackout, Spain is living a little déjà vu. Are there reasons to be alert? What has happened? Electrical Network just notified to the CNMC which, for a couple of weeks, has observed sudden variations in voltage in the peninsular system. As he explained, this could compromise the security of supply and urgent measures would need to be taken to solve it. That includes temporarily modifying various operating procedures to stabilize the system while underlying problems are found. What do these modifications consist of? The proposals go from allowing technical adjustments to be applied directly during daily programming to giving the operator more room to act quickly if it detects a risk of instability, even before the operating day begins. In addition, it adopts stricter control of the automatic instantaneous balance mechanism and tightens the reactive voltage control. In summary, what has been notified is an express adjustment of the country’s electrical operations to contain the ups and downs in voltage that have been recorded. And all of this, to be implemented in five days. The big question is “now?” Because as Javier Blas pointed out“for months, the Spanish electricity grid operator (and the government) have been putting off the country’s electrical problems” and now, suddenly, a whole series of urgent measures are required. Red Eléctrica’s response. Given the concern generated by the request, the operator had to leave in passing, clarifying that there has been “no talk of a risk of imminent or widespread blackout”, that the voltage variations “have not posed a supply risk because they have been within the admissible limits”. However, the truth is that no one is too calm. As Blas said“The urgent request adds up to an additional $1 billion cost for Spanish customers as the grid operator is operating the system in what it calls a “boosted mode” since April 29 (in effect, operating gas-fired power plants more intensely and reducing solar and wind power).” If under these conditions the entire series of measures that have been requested are needed, there is some underlying problem. Or, at least, that’s what it seems: that the symptoms of stress in the system are clear and it is not at all clear that a handful of temporary measures are the solution we need.

Five months later we continue to discover things about the blackout in Spain. And every time they are worse news for Europe

by

Five months later of the great blackout of April 28a preliminary report from the Technological Research Institute (IIT) of the Pontifical University Comillas has put the focus in an insufficient synchronous generation program in the peninsular south as a “fundamental cause” of the electric zero. The document, commissioned by Endesa and Iberdrola and sent to Entso-E, also questions operational maneuvers of Electrica de España (REE). A “collapse due to overtension.” The report introduces this unpublished concept in Europe. A phenomenon in which the tension rises uncontrollably by disconnecting renewable generation that operates with constant power factor. According to IIT calculationsthe safety margin available on the 220 kV network was 1,019 MW, but the disconnections exceeded 1,600 MW. Take into practice it would be when a renewable plant is disconnected, the tension rises. That increase causes new disconnections, which makes the tension rise more, in a vicious circle that ends in the collapse.As details the quotation note of Comillasthat cascade reaction is not precedents in the continent and shows that the simple verification that the tension is within the “is not enough” range to guarantee stability. A fragile and little inertia network. The debate is not “renewable yes or no”, but how to adapt the network and how it operates in high renewable penetration scenarios. The Iit Identify four critical points: Little programmed synchronous generation: in Andalusia there was alone A combined cycle group On the way, when the usual were several. Weak Network: At 9:00 in the morning, 35% of the 400 kV network was disconnected in the central and south areas. Dopsy inertia: In Andalusia it fell to 1.3 seconds, 35% less than the 2 seconds recommended by Entso-e. Risky maneuvers: between 12:00 and 12:30, Ree He connected eleven lines additional to try to cushion the oscillations, but those operations further reduced the safety margin. The chronology of a collapse announced. The government report had already described one morning with “Atypical volatility”. At 12:03 there was a first 0.6 Hz oscillation; At 12:19, another of 0.2 Hz but with a three -time amplitude. To stabilize, Ree reduced exports and connected lines that were disconnected. Far from improving the situation, the system tension increased. At 12:26, ​​the operator reached order the start From a combined cycle center in Andalusia, but the coupling time was more than an hour and a half: there was no room. From 12:32 The chain reaction began. At 12:33:19, the Peninsula It was completely dark. Shock of stories. Here it opens The crack between reports. The Government pointed to Ree in June for poor programming and a “insufficiency of dynamic tensions control capabilities.” Ree, in his own document, replied that there were several power plants that did not fulfill their obligation to absorb reactive energy, which aggravated the crisis. The electrical companies, meanwhile, denied any ruling and accused the government and ree of “opacity.” The new IIT report adds to debate Reinforcing the thesis that a scheduled synchronous generation was missing and questioning the operational maneuvers of the system operator, although it emphasizes that the analysis has the endorsement of international experts such as Goran Anderson and Pier Luigi Mancarella. And now what? The IIT recommends reviewing synchronous generation programming, strengthening tension control, using more predictive metrics and better coordinating all agents. The Government tried in July to approve A decree “antiapages” with sanctions, greater public control and more prominence for self -consumption, but the text shipwrecked in Congress. In addition, the Iberian Peninsula remains an “energy island”, with only 3% interconnection with France, which amplifies any operational error. Therefore, Spain and Portugal They have pressured To Paris to accelerate interconnection runners, “fed up with promises without calendar.” Closer and closer. Next Thursday, the European Network of Transmission Systems Operators (ENTSO-E) will publish your factual report with detailed chronology and the final technical data of the 28th. That document will be the basis on which Brussels and Member States discuss responsibilities and measures. The story of the 28th is not yet closed. And the Comillas report has just reopened it with a clear message: the energy transition does not fail to be fast, but for do not reinforce the network and the rules at the same pace.

China has been hoarding copper for months. And the rest of the world are dedicating ourselves to look

by

After the Rare earthChina has made copper its new geopolitical weapon. It only produces 4% of world reserves, but already controls 49% of the world refining and is buying raw materials at an industrial scale. Why is it important. More than accumulating raw materials, China is building an intentional bottleneck in the most strategic metal supply chain of the 21st century. Copper is indispensable for AI data centers, electric cars, solar panels and electrical networks. Who controls your refining will control the technological transition worldwide. In figures. The numbers are overwhelming: This mathematics is only possible to buy into mass abroad: import minerals from Chile and Peru, and junk of the United States. Then he processes everything in its low -cost melters. The general panoramic. The Chinese strategy shows sophistication that goes far beyond commercial opportunism. He has created a refining infrastructure distributed throughout the country (Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangxi, Shandong, Jiangsu) that can process any type of copper mineral at prices that no competitor can match. USA is exporting concentrates and scrap metalbut it does not have that refining capacity. Instead, China imports them, processes and turns finished products. Between the lines. He Timing This accumulation is not accidental. It coincides with the escalation of commercial tensions with the United States and the strategic approach to Afghanistan, which has large copper deposits. For China, controlling copper refining is an insurance policy in the face of a possible naval block of its commercial routes with Chile, Peru and Australia. Afghanistan thus becomes its only safe terrestrial source of copper. Yes, but. This strategy has a hidden cost that is already being manifested. Chinese foundations operate with negative margins due to the scarcity of copper ore and excess refining capacity. Some have already closed or suspended operations. The Syomine company has paralyzed its Namibia plantGlencore closed its foundry of the Philippines. China is paying a high economic price to maintain its dominant position. At stake. The commercial war is spreading to copper. Mexico has imposed 50% tariffs on Chinese products After Trump’s pressures, and China has threatened with reprisals. Mexico contributes 5% of Chinese copper mineral imports. If China cuts these imports, Southern Copper and the entire Mexican sector will suffer. But China needs each ton of available mineral. The money trail. Investors They have put 2.3 billion dollars in copper funds this year45% more than in 2024. They recognize the obvious: there is scarcity and China controls the refining tap. Accumulating copper is also a financial commitment in a deficit market. China has played a master letter. He turned his lack of own deposits in industrial domain: controls the refining, the link that adds the most value. But it has an Achilles heel that is to depend on importing minerals from countries that can become enemies. It is the dilemma of power in a fractured world: you need those who can betray you.

No one would think of leaving ‘Super Mario 64’ on for 14 months. But whoever will find a surprise

by

It is tradition that the classic Super Mario Games continue to provide secrets that, despite the time elapsed are there awaiting to be discovered. Sometimes Easter Eggs They are almost private jokes, sometimes programming errors with funny effects: One of the last discovered requires a lot of patience to float. Specifically, you have to wait 14 months. It has been the youtuber Kaze emanuarExpert in bursting (or improve) Classic Nintendo Games who has made a video in which he talks about failures or curious effects that arise when we leave the game without touching during very long spaces of time, such as the seven days he explains in the video about these lines, or even beyond. And there is a technical explanation. In ‘Super Mario 64‘, Several elements are scheduled to act in cycles using internal counters that constantly increase and determine when they must execute an action. Normally, these counters are restarted every time the element ends their task, ensuring that the movements and patterns are repetitive. But there are some secret counters whose figure is not restored after completing their function; Instead, they continue to increase while the game is active. When one of these counters finally exceeds its maximum value, which only happens after many hours (or even years) of uninterrupted play, causes unusual errors or bugs. For example, Emanuar documented that, if it remains in the star selection menu for approximately 2.25 years without turning off the console, the accountant in question reaches its limit of 2,147,483,648. When overflow happens, the player is blocked in the menu and cannot perform any action for another 2.25 years of real time. Similar situations with Accountant overflows can trigger other unexpected effectss, such as the reproduction of usually inaccessible sounds within the game. Are Easter Eggs technicians who are impossible to find in a normal, but fascinating game for the community of Speedrunners and programmers that examine the strangest limits of the game. 14 months and counting A little -known enemy of ‘Super Mario 64’, the shark called Sushi, lives at the level of the great dock. Sushi emits a characteristic sound that is repeated every 16 Framesbut the sound file is longer than this interval. Therefore, under normal conditions, the clip is never heard complete: when it begins to reproduce, it is quickly cut to start again, leaving the final part of the audio hidden. Emanuar discovered, taking advantage of an internal level timer bug, that if the game is left on for about 14 months (the necessary time for this “secret accountant” to exceed its maximum limit of 32 bits), the system stops sending orders to Sushi. For the first and only time, the shark reproduces the entire sound file From beginning to end, allowing listening to the complete sound effect for the first time. After this reproduction, Sushi is silent, since the logic that controlled his loop is disabled. This detail is the product of the operation of internal accountants who manage physics and events within the game. The same phenomenon occurs with other controlled objects with counters, such as the wings of the flying ships on the path of the rainbow, which stop moving for the same reason after thousands of active hours. These events can only occur in extreme circumstances and emulators have to be tricked to simulate excessive play time, but there are, as curiosities for useless data mining.

After months of indecision, meteorologists already see the girl in Pacific waters

by

Meteorologists pay their attention again in the strip that runs through the center-east of the Pacific Ocean. The strip whose temperature warns us of the activity of the oscillation of the southern El Niño, Enso. And, according to these observers, the pendulum gets back. The girl appears on the horizon. The latest data from the NOAA climate prediction (CPC) (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) United States They estimate 71% The probability that a girl’s event will arise throughout the last quarter of the year. Taking this into account, the center places the Enso alert state in “Surveillance of the girls.” This state is declared when “when the conditions are favorable for the development of El Niño or the girl within the next six months”, and is the first of the alert states provided by the CPC, the other being the other the “warning of El Niño or La Niña” and the “final warning of El Niño or La Niña”, which indicate the beginning and end of an event. A perhaps brief event. The forecasts indicate that we could be facing a relatively brief event of the girl. According to the CPC, the probabilities of the event in the quarter between December of this year and February 2026 are still favorable to the girl, In 54%. However, if the first quarter of 2026 is considered, the most likely conditions are neutrality: 54% probabilities compared to about 39% possibility of the girl. The girl, the cold event. And what does all this imply? The girl is the phenomenon that is opposed to that of El Niño in the homonymous oscillation. If the boy arises associated with a heating of the Equatorial Strip of the West of the Pacific, the girl is associated with a cooling of this oceanic region. At the meteorological level, Enso mainly affects the regions close to this strip, the Pacific coast of South America in particular. It is there where the consequences of this oscillation can cause widesarves. In addition to a cold event, the girl is a dry event that can lead to droughts. This has an impact on agriculture in the region among other factors. And what about Spain?Although to a lesser extent, the consequences of the alternation between the boy and the girl have global repercussions, and can affect the Spanish and European climate. In Spain the girl’s events tend to be noticed, bringing us a colder and dry climate. After a remarkably humid year, this could change the trend for the start of the hydroogical year. A measurement problem.The Unso status update occurs shortly after another organism, the Australian Meteorological Office or Bom (Bureau of Meteorology), will announce the need to introduce changes in its way of monitoring this climatic oscillation. Meteorologists use the temperature of the Pacific reference region as an indicator based on a threshold: if the temperature exceeds that fork, we are facing the child, if the temperature falls, the girl, and if it is maintained inside the parameter, the neutral state is considered. The problem arises because the increase in the average temperature of the waters in the region, the variation occurs with respect to a higher average. The result: there is a risk of detecting more El Niño events than they really occur, as long as the girl’s events are stopped.

From 2026 Social Security will give you months of contribution by calculating your retirement

by

As of January 1, 2026, Social Security will apply important changes in the Retirement pension calculation aimed at improving the situation of those who have had to stop quoting to take care of their children. The objective of the new regulations is to reduce the impact of the raising of children on the calculation of pensions. The Intergenerational Solidarity Observatory esteem that retired women charge an average of 18% less pensions than their male counterparts due to the effect of the Children’s upbringing In his professional career. The reform is collected in the Royal Decree-Law 2/2023which establishes new measures to compensate for periods without contribution in the calculation of bases of Quotation for retirement and will benefit both parents and mothers who have had interruptions in their work career for the care of their children. Integration of contribution lagoons. Social security may compensate for the months in which a person has not quoted “filling” those periods without contributions with a Minimum contribution base (At present, this base is 1,323 euros per month), in order to prevent these periods from significantly criminalize the retirement or disability pension. For Calculate the pension The contribution bases of the last 25 years are considered, and if there are months without quoting, they can be replaced by a minimal contribution base. However, this compensation only applies 100% in a maximum of 48 months in which parental care can be accredited. For additional months, the minimum base is counted only at 50%. Maternity penalizes women more. According to They point from the INEthe employment rates of women between 25 and 49 years with children under 12 are under employment rates of women of the same age without children. With the entry into force of the new review formula for contribution lagoons, women who have had children can benefit from up to 60 months at 100% and 24 months additional to 80% in periods without quotation related to maternity or care. Such and as they highlight from Capmany AbogadosParents may also be accepted to this measure if they meet certain conditions related to the birth or adoption of children and reductions in their contributions. If the son was born or was adopted before 1994, more than 120 days will be necessary without quoting between the previous nine months and three years after birth or adoption. For births or adoptions after 1995, the contributions have been reduced in the 2 years after birth have been reduced by a reduction in working hours, for example) with respect to the previous 2 years. The self -employed stay out. The correction measure will not affect the self -employed professionals that remain Out of this compensation measure for the raising of children. However, from the reform that was applied on March 18, 2023, self -employed can enjoy the integration of lagoons into the contribution by filling the time not quoted with a base of 960.60 euros. The only nuance is that the measure is disconnected from the raising of the children and can only be applied if the lagoons are in the six months after an activity cessation. If during the quoted life there are several cessations of activity and in them there are lagoons, it can be applied to each of them to calculate the retirement pension.

Steve Jobs changed his Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG of $ 120,000 every six months. And everything was due to registration

by

When Steve Jobs was Apple’s CEO he used to drive from Your home in Palo Alto until The company’s headquarters in Cupertino. It was a trip of about 20 minutes that made several times a week with his Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. This car, of approximately $ 120,000It was a whim that many technological entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley could afford without blinking. Jobs’s car, however, was special for a reason. Only. Unlike any other SL55 AMG that could be found out there, the one who handled the co -founder of the apple signature had no registration. If walking on the 1 infinite loop campus you met a silver mercedes in one of its parking spaces, that was your vehicle. Now, for a long time it was not clear how Jobs managed to move in a car that apparently contradicted California’s laws. Leasing. How our Applesfera colleagues collectApple’s leader was not doing anything illegal, but had found a way to use a car without registration over time. To get it, it simply changed Mercedes every six months. This was due to the fact that local regulations allowed new cars without identification for about 180 days. The idea was perfect, right? But there are many other interesting details. Do not buy. While Jobs had a lot of money, fortune that these days is using its widow Laurene Powell JobsI didn’t buy a new car every time I needed it. The technological environment Itwire had the opportunity To interview more than a decade ago to Jon Callas, who was CTO of Entrust and had worked on several positions in Apple. Callas said that Jobs had a leasing agreement that allowed him to renew his car for an identical one every year. Obsession. So why did all this the co -founder of Apple? Apparently, to preserve your privacy. Registing can reveal personal information about the vehicle’s owner, so Jobs wanted to avoid this. An interesting note is that, at least between 2006 and 2010, the businessman committed very few infractions. Wired counts that in that period of time he received two citations, both for speeding in Santa Clara. A peculiar guy. Jobs was a very particular visionary. In some aspects of his life he was very rudimentary. For example, he lived practically without furniture at home because none convinced him, Although he had a “secret room” in Pixar to develop his ideas. In certain areas I did not doubt that when He ordered a yach of 120 million dollars whose lines and minimalism remember an Apple product.

We have been talking for months that there is an AI bubble. The worrying thing is that even Sam Altman agrees

by

One thing is that AI pessimists tell us that there is a bubble. Another very different is that Sam Altman suggested, CEO of Openai. But it is what has happened, and that is a worrying indication of the situation in which this segment is located. Every time More expert voices They warn of danger of a bubble from AIbut there are not only voices: there are data that raise a potential crisis. One that could be even more harmful than that of the Puntocom. What has Altman said. The head of OpenAI, the company that develops ChatgPT, invited a group of journalists to comment on the launch of GPT-5. During that meeting, they indicate in The Vergesaid the following: “When bubbles occur, intelligent people are excessively excited about (which is actually so alone) a pinch of truth. Are we in a phase in which investors in general are too excited about AI? My opinion is that yes. Is AI the most important thing that has happened in a long time? My opinion is also that “ Remembering the story. Altman compared the current dynamics with which he experienced During the bubble of the Puntocom In the late 2000s. Between March 2000 and October 2002, NASDAQ lost about 80% of its value: many of the companies that signed up for Internet fever and the web failed La Hora to generate income or benefits. The value of the 10 most important companies of the S&P 500 index is today much greater than the one in the 90s, and that points to a potential (and huge) bubble. Source: Apollo Global Management / Tornsten Slok. Worse than the bubble of the Puntocom. Economic analysts and experts have long offered arguments that point in the direction of a potential bubble of AI. The chief economist of the investment firm Apollo Global Management, Torsten Sløk, indicated in a report That this bubble could be worse than that of the Puntocom: the 10 most important companies of the S&P 500 index have a value well above the 10 that occupied those positions in the late 90s. Too much speculation. Ray Wang, director of the Futurum Group semiconductor firm, showed two faces of the same currency. As he said In CNBC, “From the perspective of a broader investment in AI and semiconductors … I do not see it as a bubble. The foundations of the entire supply chain remain solid, and the long -term trajectory of the trend of AI supports the continuous investment” But at the same time, he stressed that there is a problem with this segment: there is too much speculative investment in companies that have less solid bases and in which there is only one perception of its potential without real foundations – Hello, Safe Superintelligencehello Thinking Machines-. It’s hard, but bubbles have their good side. As Alberto Romero points out In your Newsletter“In a way, bubbles are an inevitable and welcome phase between short -term selfishness and long -term progress.” In his opinion and That of other experts Like Mills Baker, manager at substock: “He Hype It is acceptable under the premise that only an optimistic character, prone to exaggeration and hyperbole, can build the new world for which a bubble is only the starting point, his big bang. The cynical and pessimistic character is a useful counterweight to excessive optimism (…). While optimism is an active creation force, pessimism is a reactive modulation force. “ Source: Paul Kedrosky. When the trains were the AI. Or what is the same: for the world to advance, bubbles are (or can be) necessary. We saw it with the Puntocom: it is true that the crisis existed, but that uncounted optimism in the future of the Internet ended up making sense. Of course, only a few companies (the great current empires) ended up benefiting. But it is that something very similar happened with the railroads at the end of the 19th century. At that time the investment and the capex in these infrastructure was colossal –five times greater that the one who lives now in AI – and although many companies broke, but from that bubble we left with an absolute revolution both at the level of transport and economic and social. But this bubble can be very, very large. As points Romero, the difference here between optimistic and pessimistic (or realistic) speeches is growing, and that is worrying. The expectations that the companies of AI and their CEOs are creating (with Altman in front, The man-hype) They are increasing. They constantly tell us about How are we close to reach the AGIbut the reality is that there are no real indications that this is so and in fact there is a Founder of AI. Faced with the promises of the revolution that theoretically should have begun to generate AI, the reality is that the advances do not seem extraordinary. In fact, a study of the MIT discovered that after asking 150 entrepreneurs and 350 employees of companies that have integrated AI in their processes, 95% had not seen any benefit in doing so. Better Wait for GPT-6. GPT-5 has demonstrated, a model for which we expected A historical jump And that in the end raises an improvement that for now it is discreet and that he introduced changes They were Very criticized. The launch of this model has been a small disaster that He has forced To the company to give reverse In several of your decisions. As He pointed out Walter Bloomberg, Altman himself admitted that GPT-5 had been a failure, and now bets on GPT-6. Source: Michael A. Arouet. The data worries. Seemingly excessive spending In data centers either In talent It is not the only concern. There is also that absolute concentration of companies that concentrate the value. An analyst named Michael A. Aouet published these days A graph in which he showed two income growth trends. On the one hand, that of the 490 companies of the S&P 500 excluding … Read more
