a giant 17 meter nail drill

by

After years of comings and goings, on January 15, 2025, they began some works that are both expected and necessary in Madrid: the burial of the A5. It is one of the arteries of the city, an urban highway on which 80,000 vehicles circulate daily and which, after being completed in 1968, separated the residents of the neighborhoods of Aluche, Las Águilas and Lucero from those of Batán and Casa de Campo. The works will not be simple or quick, but there is a trick: the ‘cut and cover’ technique. This technique is nothing revolutionary. It is one of the oldest and most used methods for tunnel construction superficial. When a tunnel has to be excavated to a certain depth or that passes through complex elements, the ‘boring machines’ or tunnel boring machinesbut when it is not necessary, this false tunnel is simply made. In essence, the ‘cut and cover’ technique consists of excavating a trench from the surface, building the new road inside it and, later, covering it with fill material. And there are two variants: From bottom to top: The trench is excavated with the necessary support from the ground and the tunnel is built inside. Once the structure is completed, the trench is backfilled and the surface is restored. From top to bottom: First, the lateral retaining walls and the crowning beams are built at ground level. Subsequently, the roof is excavated and prefabricated beams are installed. Thus, the surface is reinstalled early to restore traffic as soon as possible while the excavation work and construction of the permanent roof are completed. In the video above, a piloting machine in action. Basically, like a giant “drill”. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and are used depending on the terrain and conditions, but for tunnels at depths of about ten meters, these ‘cut and cover’ methods They are more economical and practical than tunnels drilled with deep tunneling methods. The ‘cut and cover’ of the A5 and Castellana in Madrid As we say, the technique was designed to hinder daily traffic as little as possible, and even more so on such essential and busy roads, but the reality is that on the A5, the works have converted one of the entrances to the capital into a ‘Mario Kart’. Through a series of detours, a succession of tight curves have been created at very slow speeds that have provoked that the Madrid City Council collects multiple complaints. Such is the commotion that a guide to avoid getting lost with this burial of the A5but in any case, both the highway and part of Castellana have a few months of noise and excavators ahead of them. In the case of the A5, 3.2 kilometers of the highway are being buried using the construction technique of concrete containment screens to then install the covering slabs. There are 600 people who work daily on the site along with a hundred machines such as the striking ‘pilots’. These machines are specialized in the construction of “piles”, which are nothing more than buried columns that can be built in the ground by injecting concrete into a metal reinforcement or that can be prefabricated. On the route of the “new” A5, there will be more than 6,000 piles of reinforced concrete. But the highway is not the only area of ​​the city in which this technique is being implemented. In the Parque Castellana project, a tunnel of about 675 meters long is also being built that will have 2,041 piles. In the end, and as we mentioned, it is not a new technique (in fact, it was used to build the Paris metro in 1900), but of the possible options for creating tunnels, it is one of the least disruptive to traffic in cities. Although those who are suffering from the works on Parque Castellana and the A5 will surely see it with different eyes.

Three years after the Fiasco del Metaverso, Zuckerberg has another burning nail for the goal: digital glasses

by

Mark Zuckerberg believes that in 2030 we will not get the smartphone out of his pocket because We will do almost everything from the glasses. That is his particular new obsession, and he has all the meaning of the world because Meta is in a delicate position. And if one It is cornered In the future that does not control, better create one that can control. Glasses, glasses and more glasses. The presentation this week of the promising Goal Ray-Ban Display and his small sisters (Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Oakley Meta Vanguard) It is a clear message to the world. Zuckerberg He sees us all Taking glasses in the future, and the new options of their connected glasses are precisely aimed not only to make them more with them, but to get more and more forget about the device that has governed our life for two decades: the smartphone. An event to redraw the target of Meta. In the presentation event of the Zuckerberg glasses, he also confirmed that new silent transformation of his company, which first focused on social networks and then bet on everything to the Metaverso. Now the proposal is different and Zuckerberg made it clear in the event saying the following: “Our goal is to create glasses with an attractive design that offer personal superintelligence and a sense of presence through realistic holograms. The combination of these ideas is what we call” metaverso. “ Metaverso V2.0. Suddenly the metaverse now is different from that before. In that metaverso that seemed A bad copy of Wii Sports We have moved to another in which virtual reality is totally displaced. Four years ago, when Facebook changed its name by goal, there was not even talk of artificial intelligence as part of that platform. Now it is a fundamental part, logically. Metaverso 1.0 – who is careful, is still alive and Also losing money– It has remained In the background. Killing smartphone is going to be (very) difficult. Of course, we will need a device in which to be able to do all those things that Zuckerberg proposes, now the candidate is in many cases the mobile. If not as the center of experience, yes as an important element. Will the smartphone give prominence to the glasses or other hardware products? It seems difficultbut of course both goal and others – Hello, OpenAI+Jony Ive– They are willing to achieve that goal. It is normal: if they achieve it, they can control something they have ever managed to control: the hardware. But. If something has characterized Mark Zuckerberg it is his ease to change focus. After the success of Facebook later seemed to focus much more on WhatsApp Supervitaminar –Do you remember Libra?– Or Instagram. Then, of course, his obsession with metoverso would arrive, and more recently With superintelligence and AI glasses. If there is a new technological fever, the Facebook founder usually goes for it. What will be next? And it will have a lot of competition. It is not that Zuckeberg achieves that we use the glasses more than the phone: no one is going to let it do it alone. Google works tirelessly on Android XR and has already shown us that you will have products in this segment, and Apple also seems convinced that the shots will go here. Not to mention Amazon or – major words – of Chinese manufacturers. All of them are going to put it very difficult at the finish line, but one thing is true: if they manage to move the mobile focus on the glasses, there at least they will predictably have part of the cake.

So far, they use their own mobile phones to measure them, but my mother has been around the head for a while making the leap to their first wearable. A simple, but also very useful model is the Huawei Band 10. In addition, it is also quite cheap, since it currently costs 39 euros (In Amazon it costs a few euros above its previous generation).

The first great fiasco in the AI ​​era is the AI ​​Pin of Humane. HP has put the last nail in its coffin

by

He Ai pin Humane was born as the first product of a company founded by former Apple employees, in order to make the smartphone concept obsolete. A 100% device focused on AI functions, with camera, laser projection to read Qualcomm text and processor. In Xataka we were able to throw the glove and, from the first minute, We were clear that I was not going to succeed. Behind him Commercial failure That had the product, the last nail in the coffin has put it HP. The company has bought a good part of Humane And the first decision after sale has been to stop selling and supporting the AI ​​Pin. A product that was just a few months in the market. The purchase. Humane will sell most of your company to HP for 116 million dollars. Both companies have closed an agreement through which HP is made the intellectual property of more than 300 patents of Humane, including its AI platform Cosmosthe AI ​​Pin operating system. What HP is looking for. According to Tuan Tran statements, HP Technology and Innovation President, “this investment will quickly accelerate our ability to develop a new generation of devices that organize without problems the requests for both the local and cloud levels.” In other words, HP wants to accelerate the implementation of AI in its products. A meaningful movement being the PCs with ia a new claim And having told Xataka the Ketan Patel himself, head of the HP PCs and Portable Division, who see the AI ​​as a crucial component for the future of the PC. The immediate consequence. Goodbye to AI Pin, without half inks. Humane has announced that the devices will stop connecting to their servers from next February 28. “We write to inform you that, with immediate effect, we will end the AI ​​Pin consumer service because our commercial priorities have changed.” The company has not shaken the pulse to justify it due to “commercial priorities”, and explained what will happen to the devices already sold. First, AI Pin stops selling immediately. After February 28, he will stop connecting to Humane servers, so he cannot access images, videos or notes taken with him. Similarly, from this day, all the data will be removed permanently. In summary, AI PIN will become a pisapapeles of 700 dollars in which you can only access offline functions such as … look at the battery level. The first great fiasco of the AI ​​era. That a product is 100% based on AI has a potential problem. If the company decides to forget it months later, you will have a Pisapapeles without any function. In the case of Humane have been changes in commercial priorities, but the list of possible reasons (commercial failures, business sale, technical problems, regulations, bankruptcy, etc.) that can be used in the future is unabarcable. The Humane case is a hard blow to the “AI Products” sector, throwing even more doubts about the reasonable (or not) to buy a device that depends 100% on a server.
