Nvidia is tensing her relationship with the US government. His presence in China is at risk

by

For Nvidia losing the Chinese market is not an option. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of the company led by Jensen Huang with a figure of some 17,000 million dollars. In practice, the country governed by Xi Jinping is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. However, the sanctions to China that are deploying the US government threatens Nvidia’s survival in this Asian country. Currently this company cannot sell its chips to its Chinese clients to artificial intelligence (IA) more advanced. And in the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new export restrictions on China from The H20 GPU of Nvidia. The tuning of a trimmed review of the H20 GPU is underway The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. The Nvidia Plan requires a cut review of the H20 GPU that satisfies the restrictions imposed by the US Department of Commerce Anyway, this time of bonanza is over. The restrictions of the Department of Commerce in practice prevent Nvidia Deliver the H20 GPU to its Chinese clientsbut this company does not give up. At the beginning of this week We explain to you that several reliable media had collected that His engineers are working on new GPU for AI expressly adapted to the country’s market led by Xi Jinping. Now we know something else. And is that according to Reuters The Nvidia Plan requires tuning a trimmed review of the H20 GPU that satisfies the restrictions imposed by the US Department of Commerce. The surprising thing is that this project seeks to cut a chip that is already a cut version of other NVIDIA GPUs. And it is not clear that with this limited benefits this trimmed GPU H20 is interesting for companies that have bought the original H20 chip from NVIDIA. Among them are no less than three giants from China: Alibaba, Tencent and Bytedance. However, Nvidia faces one more challenge: Huawei’s competition. And this last company is reinforcing its position in China to take advantage of the hole that Nvidia is leaving in the market because of US sanctions. During the second half of 2025 will manufacture the GPU Ascend 920 on a large scalewhich is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that the GPU H20 is going to leave. And, in addition, it is about to start the chip test phase Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the chip NVIDIA H100.

We have been reading about the danger of arsenic in rice for years. So much that we run the risk of not believing it in the worst possible time

by

Arsenic is one of the best known toxic elements. The fact that traces of this element can be found in the rice we consume sounds more alarming than it really is: today only very high consumption of this food could involve health risks. The problem is that this can change in the future. Growing concentrations. A new study has pointed out that the increase in temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations (CO2) in the atmosphere can favor the absorption of arsenic in rice crops. This would translate into a greater presence of the element in the dishes elaborated from this cereal. A change whose impact could be significant around 2050. This increase in arsenic concentration could especially affect the population in Asia, where rice represents a higher portion of the food consumed. “Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, diabetes, and (cause) other non -carcinogenic effects,” he said In a press release Lewis Ziskka, co -author of the study. The risk of arsenic. Arsenic is considered a heavy metal despite chemically belonging to the semimetal group. He Risk level which implies its presence depends on several factors, for example on the fact of the molecular structure in which it occurs (its organic structures are less dangerous than the inorganic ones). And, of course, it depends on the dose. The risk posed by this element has to do with its accumulation in our body. Its presence can lead to problems in development among the youngest, and in adults it has been related to skin disorders, bladder and cancer of lung. 28 Rice varieties. The team responsible for the study analyzed the effects on the rice of an average increase of 2º Celsius at the temperature and the associated increase of atmospheric CO2. Did it in 28 varieties of this cereal, modeling the evolution of its inorganic arsenic content over 10 years. From there, the team estimated the health impacts that this accumulation could produce in the populations of seven Asian countries around 2050. The result: a drastic increase in cancer cases and especially the cases of bladder cancer. Among the countries studied, China would stand out, which could see more than 13 million new cases of cancer associated with arsenic exposure. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine The Lancet Planetary Health. Not everything is lost. In its study, the team raises some possible adaptation measures dedicated to reducing the future impacts of this problem. The team suggests hybridar varieties of plants to favor those that absorb less, introduce improvements in soil management in rice fields, and improve food processing practices. They also propose consumer -centered measures: education and minitor, they explain, they could play an important role in reducing the impacts of this growing presence of arsenic. The occasional alerts we receive regarding arsenic levels in rice could make this more difficult, by turning this problem into a “Pedro and the Wolf story”: a non -existent problem that we pay attention today could become a real problem that we ignore in the future.

The lack of protein represents a risk to our health. These are the key symptoms to identify it

by

We live perhaps in him historical context of greater food abundance. It is difficult to find an era in which we have had a greater variety of food at our disposal. This is especially true for meat and fish, two of the main sources of protein. In general, today We consume more proteins than we needbut the general does not always apply and The lack of protein It can also occur in some people, for example cases of certain diets or between people suffering from certain autoimmune diseases. That is why we can ask ourselves, how can we know if we are not consuming enough proteins? Proteins are one of the three macronutrients considered basic for the proper functioning of our body, the other two fats or lipids, and carbohydrates. We associate these nutrients to meatfish, milk products, but are present in one way or another (in their constituent blocks, for example) in a multitude of foods such as legumes or soy. Proteins, although we put them in the same group are not a homogeneous group of compounds: our body has thousands of protein types. Of course, all of them are composed of a series of amino acids chained 20 of these “blocks” are enough to form this myriad of proteins in our body. Our body is able to synthesize 11 of These amino acids But for the other nine, called essential amino acidswe must obtain them from food. For this we need proteins: our digestive system breaks them down in amino acids so that our body can rebuild them according to their need. We call “Complete proteins“To foods containing all essential amino acids. A list of food with complete proteins would include meats such as beef or chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, soy or quinoa. If our body does not consume enough proteins or other amino acid sources, we can fall into the lack of any of these nine essential amino acids, so that our body can lose the ability to generate its own proteins which results in problems such as the Hypooproteinemiathe lack of protein in the blood. Symptoms Before the lack of proteins becomes a problem, we can pay attention to some symptoms that alert us to lack. Health experts from the University of California in Los Angeles They prepared a time ago a list With six indications that can help us detect the lack of protein. In the article they explain that fragility in hair and nails is sometimes the first sign of a protein deficiency. Another sign is in the feeling of weakness and hunger. Hunger usually indicates the lack of food, sometimes it can also indicate a more concrete nutritional lack. A third indication is in our immune system. The lack of protein can limit our body’s ability to defend against external threats so we can find ourselves more sickly due to this lack. The lack of protein can also manifest in changes in humor or difficulties in thinking. This is due to fluctuations in blood sugar levels and the effect of proteins in brain neurotransmitters responsible for regulating our mood. The fifth indication indicated by these experts is muscle weakness. Proteins are indispensable to build and repair muscle mass, without it we can end up losing it. The last of these symptoms is in the Appearance of fractures by stress in the bones. The integrity of these also depends on this type of compounds. Proteins are fundamental to our body and the difficulty in creating new molecules can cause us problems of very diverse type. As usual in nutrition, excess can also be linked to some problems. Some estimates calculate that excessive protein consumption may appear if we take more than two grams daily per kg of body mass. A varied and healthy diet is key to avoiding problems both by excess as defaultin regards to proteins and with regard to any other nutrient. This is especially important for those who, by their own or for health, must eliminate some usual piece of their menu. No food is essential but there are nutrients that they are.

Spain looked at Chinese cars as a salvation table. In the commercial war, the risk of dying drowning runs

by

“Spain is in favor of more balanced relations between the EU and China,” with these words Pedro Sánchez, president of the Government, has defended his approach to China before the commercial war that is being freed and during the same. And the automobile sector has a lot to do. “Essential partner”. With those words Pedro Sánchez has defined the relationship that China should have with the European Union. The words have pronounced them during their meeting with Xi Jinping, president of the country. The Spanish is in a round of visits by Asia in which he is stopping in China and Vietnam. Both countries have been severely punished by the United States. China still maintains 125% tariff Despite the 90 -day truce that Donald Trump has granted. Vietnam had been punished with some 46% tariffs. The importance of words. This “essential partner” is not accidental and shows Spain’s approach to China in full tension for the commercial war that are pounding the United States and the Asian country. In fact, the words of the words of the European Union is unmarked as “partner, competitor and systemic rival”, collected by The country. Sanchez needs to play with tact with his statements. Only a few days ago, Scott Besent, secretary of the United States Treasury, said that “I am not sure if it was the prime minister or the Minister of Economy of Spain, who made some comments this morning: ‘Maybe we should align more with China.’ That would be to cut off the neck”, in words collected by The confidential. Xi Jinping, meanwhile, thanked Sánchez for the “firm will” to maintain good relations between the two countries, emphasizing that it is the third time that the president of the Spanish Government visits the Asian country, they point out in The world. The equilibrium game. Spain has encountered the most uncomfortable view at the right time. With the agenda already scheduled, it was seen if the president of the Government would be willing to go to China in the middle of the commercial tension with the United States. The single presence is seen as a Spanish approach to the Chinese side and, of course, It is unmarked from European politics that bets to get wet as little as possible. However, Spain has a good number of Chinese investments in our country. The commercial balance between the two countries It is still very unbalanced In favor of China (we import goods worth 45,174 million euros and export there products worth 7,467 million euros) but China has the key in key sectors. Putting the carpet. Without a doubt, one of the sectors in which Spain wants to influence is the car. China is disembarking in Europe. His commercial war with the United States will force him to disembark in greater force in Europe and Spain is a perfect gateway. With the fees to the electric car, the plug -in hybrids and the Chinese low ranges vehicles have A huge opportunity in countries like Spanish where “electricity” is not so developed. All their companies need to open markets outside China to seek profitability. If the perspectives are maintained, byd will be in 2025 One of the five greatest manufacturers of the world. Given this situation, Spain is clear that it wants to be a very important part of Chinese landing in Europe. The automobile sector is essential for Spain. Not only in its factories, you have to add ports that receive cars, distributors and a Powerful auxiliary and component industry. It is better for us. The biggest problem facing Spain is that it is best to open to China if you want to open your business routes in the automobile sector. When the tariffs of Chinese electric car were voted for the first time, Spain was favorable. A visit to China and a threat of attacking the Spanish pig directly (whose exports to China are key) He changed the Executive idea. But, in addition, other threats float in the air. In Europe, France or Italy remained firm in their favorable vote to tariffs on Chinese electric cars. Then, China ordered to stop investments In those countries and since then we have not had news of new approaches. At the moment, Spain has Chinese investments in different ports To receive and start distributing cars that arrive from Asia, the investment of Chery in Barcelonathe agreement between Catl and Stellantis For a battery plant in Aragon or the Extremadura projects to produce batteries for electric cars. But there are certain problems. In a first reading, it seems clear that if Spain has the opportunity to continue expanding its Chinese investments in the automobile sector to be key in the European car of the future and if you have a threat to its head of withdrawing investments or torpedoing trade between the two countries, the approach to China seems completely logical. The problem is to pull the rope tense, irremediably, on the other. The United States has already warned Spain that its position is not correct and some sectors are (obviously) worried. The direct impact In the automobile industry it is not too high but, for example, shipments to the United States of olive oil They have shot under the threat of tariffs. What can we expect? Given this context, Spain will have to play its cards to several bands. Approach enough to Beijing but without burning. It will be necessary to see if the United States maintains its commitment to tax trade with the European Union with a flat rate or if it extends tariffs by sectors, which can be an indirect attack on a specific country. A good example is the 25% tariff to the car. The United States government has repeatedly decided to pause its tariffs to Mexico or Canada but keeping them in the car market is a clear attack on these countries. Also to Germany, in Europe, which is The country that exports more vehicles to the United States. We will have … Read more

After two catastrophic failures, we believed that Spacex would not risk with the next starship. We were wrong

by

Starship’s next flight will be one of the most tense in the history of the rocket. Not only because the last two releases will end in paths explosions and with deviated airplanes to avoid the rain of rubble. Also because it will be the first time that Spacex reuse a rocket. Zero-Touch reflight. In addition to a 123 meters high mole, Starship is the first rocket designed to be quickly reusable. Spacex’s idea is that Starship takes off, lands and throws himself again after a few hours, as if it were a commercial plane. The company has partially advanced in this Objective of “Zero-Touch Desflight” or relaunch without intervention. The first stage of the rocket, the 33 -engines Super Heavy propeller, has landed in the arms of the launch tower three times: Booster 12 in flight test 5, Booster 14 in flight test 7 and Booster 15 in flight test 8. It was planned that the second stage of the rocket, the six -engines Starship ship, would make its first landing attempt during flight 9. To do this, the earth would orbit and re -enter the atmosphere until they perch on the arms of the second launch tower; Already finished in Starbase, Texas. However, the last two starship exploded at 8 minutes of takeoff For a defect in a redesign recent. A second -hand super heavy. The expected thing was that Spacex was taken calmly to flight 9 to compensate for the last failures, but the company has just announced a surprising decision. The next launch, scheduled for mid -April (if the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States is approved), will be done reusing the booster 14 of flight 7. This propeller first took off on January 16, 2025 and, after separating from the Starship ship, returned to the launch base to become the second Super Heavy that Spacex has captured with the arms of the Mechazilla tower. Of the 33 Raptor engines that you will wear during your second launch, 29 are already used engines. Another rocket that lands and takes off. The only orbital rocket with demonstrated capacity for propulsive landing is the Falcon 9 of Spacex. Specifically, its first stage, which usually lands in an autonomous barge in the ocean after throwing satellites or spacecraft. A few weeks later, you are ready to reuse (Generally, in Starlink missions). The second rocket to get it could be Starship, also from Spacex. Not in the “Zero-Touch reflight” mode, but after a restoration process and changing some engines, but it is a first step. And in fact, it is a step that nobody else has achieved apart from Spacex. The company that is closest is Blue Origin, who tried unsuccessfully on the opening flight of the New Glenn rocket. In China, Landspace is also achieved with his Zhuque 3 rocket. There will be no second capture. The bad news is that Spacex will not try to capture the Booster 14. The rocket, which has just passed some ignition tests on land, will merit in a controlled way in the Gulf of Mexico to test a more pronounced attack angle during the re -entry, which in the future will allow you to perform other flight profiles. Anyway, all eyes will be put in the Starship 35the third ship of the “Block 2” version. Its two predecessors exploded shortly after separating from the Super Heavy propeller, both for a flight of propellents due to excessive vibrations in the engines area. Starship 33 disintegrated after a fire and Starship 34 lost control after the explosion of an engine. The investigation of flight 8 is still open, so FAA has not yet given its authorization for flight 9. Even so, we should not take long to see it, taking into account that the rocket is almost ready and the renewed political power of Elon Musk It has already allowed accelerating the procedures in the previous releases.

Science has tricks to see it without risk

by

Saturday 29 The sun will darken hidden by the moon. It is a partial eclipse that will be visible from an important fraction of the southern hemisphere: almost all of Europe (including Spain) can see this concealment, as can also be seen from part of North America, Africa, Asia and even from a small fraction of South America. Solar eclipses are astronomical phenomena that hardly go unnoticed. Time has spent since these events ceased to be a sign of evil agüero, but we also know that they have a certain associated risk: the risk of damaging our view If we do not properly protect our eyes. Looking directly at the sun is never a good idea. But during an eclipse, even less. As Francisco Doménech and José A. Álvarez explain in The countrythe sun emits its light in a wide segment of the electomagnetic spectrum, a range of frequencies that expands beyond the visible spectrum, entering the infrared and ultraviolet. UVA rays (ultraviolet-a) from which we have to protect ourselves in summer and in certain circumstances are an example of how these invisible rays can still affect ourselves if we do not realize at the time. The energy transmitted by the different spectrum frequencies is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That is, shorter wave frequencies such as ultraviolet carry more energy than the longest wave, such as infrared. Despite this, both extremes can have a negative impact on the physical integrity of our eye. What do we expose ourselves? Looking at the eclipse without proper protection can expose permanent damage in the retina and in the cornea. Damages that can even come out with the loss of sight. According to Geoffrey Bradford, Professor of Pediatrics and Ophthalmology at the University of Virginia Occidental, In an article for The conversationour eyes have a natural capacity to adapt to different luminosity conditions. However, DIRECT OBSERVATION OF THE SUN It can exceed the ability of the eyeball to protect yourself from excess light. In the cornea, says Bradford, there is a risk of solar or actinic keratosis. This disorder can make our sight cloud and cause pain. This injury would be reversible but may require several days for your cure. The problems in the retina are not painful but they can be more serious, Bradford adds. Retinopathies can affect our sightcreating a blind spot in our central vision, visual distortions and the alteration of our color perception. An additional problem is that if we look at the eclipse we will not take pain even though our eyes will be suffering. This can generate a false sense of security while we harm our view. See it safely If we want to see the eclipse directly we will need glasses specifically designed for the observation of this type of event. Sun glasses offer protection against solar rays in everyday situations, but eclipses are not such a thing, so in practice their protection of nothing serves us in these situations. Even if we wear eclipse glasses, we must make sure they are duly approved and comply with the international ISO 12312-2 standard. The National Geographic Institute (IGN) offers us on your website Additional information, including points of sale, to take into account if we want to acquire these glasses. IGN himself also warns us that we must avoid observing the sun with devices such as cameras, or instruments such as telescopes or prismatic that are not prepared for the observation of these phenomena, something that is only achieved through special filters, not as usually used in other contexts. If we do not have specialized glasses, we can still observe the eclipse indirectly. If we walk through a wooded zone during the eclipse we can see a curious phenomenon in THE SHADOW THAT PROJECT THE TREES LEAVES. If certain conditions are given, we can see how the shades of the eclipse can be seen among the shadows. Also We can cause this effect Using, for example, the holes of a strainer. We can, for example, use a Stenopic projector, which we can manufacture ourselves with a cardboard box, aluminum foil, Celoy scissors. NASA explains how In a video. A last trick that IGN offers us It requires a mirror, a wall and a paper that we must also cut a hole. It is enough to cover the mirror with a role in which we will have previously made a hole between five and ten millimeters in diameter. With it we must reflect sunlight on a flat wall in which the image of the eclipse will be projected. Saturday’s eclipse is just the appetizer of A complete menu of eclipses that awaits us in the next three years. This eclipses parade includes two total eclipses that in August 2026 and 2027 They will be visible from a good part of the Iberian Peninsula, and an eclipse annular in January 2028 also visible from our environment.

There is a relationship between eating fruit, drinking coffee and the risk of tinnitus. But we still don’t understand where it comes from

by

The human body is a very complex machine in which millions of interactions are produced, some intuitive and direct, others that are neither one nor the other. This sometimes implies that we find correlated phenomena after which there could be causal relationships that we are not yet able to understand. An example of this in a curious connection that unites our digestive and auditory system. A new study. A Chinese researchers team He has studied The relationship between certain foods and the risk of suffering tinnitus. The team found that greater consumption of fruits, fiber, dairy and caffeine were linked to a lower risk of suffering from this annoying disorder. The ears. Tinnitus It is nothing but a technical term with which we refer to the sensation of buzzing or beep we perceive in the ear. A noise that only exists in our head and that can be presented in a diversity a wide range of shapes, each with different characteristics, some of them very annoying and difficult to treat. These forms They have diverse originssuch as age loss related to age, possible ear injuries, or circulatory system disorders. It can manifest intermittently or permanently, and it can also be intense enough to interfere with our audition or limit our ability to concentrate. Meta -analysis The notion that there is a link between some foods and the risk of suffering tinnitus It is not new. Various studies can be found that have previously investigated in the field but drawing conclusions from this literature is not easy. That is why the team responsible for the new work carried out a study of this scientific literature, a review of literature, from which it carried out a quantitative analysis of the results identified in this, that is, a meta -analysis. The team compiled and analyzed the results of eight studies which accumulated a total of 300,000 participants. They analyzed the effects of 15 dietary factors on the risk of appearance of this auditory disorder. Different foods, different impacts. The study estimated from these eight previous works that greater fruit consumption could be linked to a 35% reduction in reducing the risk of tinnitus. The reduction associated with greater dairy consumption was 17% and that of the caffeine of 10%. They also observed a 9% reduction in the probability associated with the highest food fiber consumption. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine BMJ Open. Prevent yes, cure right? The results are striking, but the interpretation is complex. The reason is that We have no clue on the hypothetical cause and effect connections that could be behind this relationship. That is, we can observe correlation but we cannot infer causality. Another track on this connection is found in another review of the literature made a few years ago. Posted in 2020 In the magazine International Archives of athinolaryngologythe work also observed a link between caffeine and tinnitus but warned that it only occurred preventively: that is, it observed that caffeine consumption was linked to a lower risk of suffering from tinnitus but a greater consumption of the substance did not serve to improve the state of those who already suffered the problem.

We have just discovered that food can also affect the risk of developing lung cancer

by

We know well that certain ways of life can affect our risk of suffering certain types of cancer. A clear case is that of the relationship between smoking and respiratory system tumors, especially lung. We also know that our diet It can affect to the probability that we develop cancers such as liver or colorectal. However, relationships can be somewhat more complex. Diet and lung cancer. A new study has linked The diet with the risk of lung cancer, a relationship that until now had remained, if it does not hide, at least in the shadow of other better known and explored connections. Adenocarcinoma and glycogen. The study focuses on the Pulmonary adenocarcinomaa tumor at the origin of 40% of cases of globally diagnosed lung cancer, explains the team responsible for the study. It is the cancer that causes more deaths in the United States, but it is also the most common lung cancer among people who have ever smoked. The new study focuses on glycogen accumulation. Glycogen is a polysaccharide, a sugar composed of simple sugars or monosaccharides, in this case a glucose chain. This sugar is used by our body as an energy reserve. The role of glycogen. The accumulations of Glycogen They had been observed in some types of cancers as well as in other diseases. Now, the team responsible for the new study, studied through computational and laboratory models how this complex sugar acts as “oncogenic metabolite.” As they explain, the greater the accumulation of the polysaccharide in cancer cells, greater and more dangerous will be tumor growth. In mice. The analysis in animal models (in mice) served to validate the theoretical results. The team found that, by feeding the mice with a diet that they catalog as “western”, capable of facilitating a greater presence of blood glycogen, cancer in the animals of the animals grew. In contrast, when glycogen levels fell, tumor growth was reduced. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature Metabolism. Diet and cancer risk. The team responsible for the study emphasizes that, although it is one of the first times (if not the first time) that lung cancer is linked to the diet, there are already numerous occasions when the diet has been put in the center of the strategies for cancer prevention. The diet is also an important pillar in treatments against this disease. “In the long term, our approach to cancer prevention should reflect the success of the antitabaco campaign (putting a greater emphasis on public awareness and policy -based strategies that promote healthier dietary choices as a fundamental component for disease prevention,” explained in a press release Ramon Sun, who led the team responsible for the study. Route for treatment. The good news is that the finding can open a way to improve treatments against this type of cancer. And we count at our disposal of drugs capable of controlling the level of glycogen in our body. Without the need to resort to pharmacological treatments, the study also allows highlighting the importance of a balanced diet in our health.

Deepseek closes external investments and risk capital. You have three reasons to do it

by

Deepseek, The great sensation of the beginning of the year in AIhe is breaking with all the rules of the startup ecosystem not only for his efficient AI modelbut also for rejecting the risk capital that other competitors need such as eating. Its founder, Liang Wenfeng, maintains 84% ​​of the property (an anomaly in its field) and does not seem to be in a hurry to give control. Chinese technology broke into the industry in January With its new AI model, but unlike its competitors, it does not announcing multimillionaire financing rounds. Nor want to do it, according to anti The three reasons. Liang Wenfeng has clear reasons to keep investors at bay: 1. He does not want to lose control of his long -term vision on AI.2. Depseek has sufficient its own financing through its High-Flyer investment fund.3. He fears that external investors, especially Chinese, intensify concerns about privacy and security. Why is it important. In a sector where competitors are launched to capture thousands of millions to finance the expensive AI race, Depseek is betting on an alternative path. Financial independence also gives Deepseek freedom to focus on research and development, instead of seeking rapid monetization that investors usually demand. Between the lines. Liang does not usually hide his distrust of investors. In a 2023 interview He openly criticized the obsession of venture capital funds by rapidly monetizing AI, to the detriment of advanced research. This position symbolizes a growing skepticism in the technological sector about whether the traditional financing model is compatible with the development of long -term transforming technologies. The figures. The Deepseek owned structure is unusual for such a powerful startup: 84% is owned by Liang Wenfeng, the founder. 16% are in the hands of people linked to their investment fund, high-flyer. 0% is of traditional external investors. In detail. Liang has funded Deepseek with the benefits of High-Flyer, its quantitative investment fund. “Money has never been a problem for us; the problem is in the prohibitions for sending advanced chips,” he said in 2023. This financial self -sufficiency has allowed Deepseek to develop without the usual external pressure of investors, usually focused on short -term growth metrics. The backdrop. As a Chinese company, Depseek operates under laws that give the Government broad access to their data. This has already caused prohibitions of use in several countries and private companies. The entry of Chinese investors could get this situation worse. The US government has history by sanctioning Chinese technology with government ties, such as Huawei and DJI. And now what. Deepseek will need more and better AI chips to stay competitive, according to Liang himself. These components are expensive and are strongly restricted in China due to the export controls of the United States. Without external financing, Depseek could be left behind in the technological career against rivals with more resources, such as OpenAi or Anthropic. Of course If someone has demonstrated ingenuityIt is Deepseek. In Xataka | Manus is the new sensation of China after Deepseek.

There are 2,838 kilometers of high risk and these are its locations

by

In 2024, 1,154 people died on Spanish roads, according to DGT data. It is the highest figure since 2018 and slightly higher than 2023 when 14 deaths were counted less. According to traffic accounts, 323 of these people died in rapid accidents and 831 deaths were counted on secondary roads. These ways are traditionally the deadliest. Although it is mandatory to drive more slowly and You can no longer exceed 90 km/hthe characteristics make an error paid. The road out It is still the main cause of death, with 479 deaths, followed by the frontal collision, with 252 dead. Both circumstances are common in accidents with fatalities on this type of roads. In recent years, the DGT has focused on the Mobile phone usedistractions And the speed. But from other organisms they also try to reinforce other ideas: the maintenance of some concrete roads or sections is insufficient. To do this, Race makes a report called Evaluation of the accident on the state road network. It analyzes which are the most dangerous sections in Spain and adjusts its accidents depending on the volume of traffic that goes through them to understand where it is more likely to suffer a fatal accident. The most dangerous routes in Spain According to the data collected by Race, 2024 was a bad year on Spanish roads. They point out that in Spain there were 3,510 fatal or serious accidents (there has been some fatal victim or some person has been seriously injured). It is a rebound of 17.51% compared to 2023 when 2,987 accidents that met these characteristics were recorded. The data is the highest since 2020 and breaks a downward trend which had been producing since 2009. In the last 15 years, only in 2019 there was a small increase in these accidents compared to the previous year and was only 0.30%. All these data are analyzed by Race who cross the number of accidents and their severity with the number of vehicles that circulate in that same section. In addition, they take into account some additional characteristics such as the maximum permitted speed limit, if the senses of the march are physically separated or the number of intersections and if they are at the same level or at different levels. Adding all these variables, a number that indicates the risk level is achieved. The highest corresponds to a value above 90, qualifying these sections as a high -risk section and where it is more likely to suffer an accident. The second range ranges from 53 to 90 points and is qualified as a medium-high risk section. Below, there are medium, half-low and low risk sections. Taking all this into account, Race ensures that 9.2% of the Spanish road network can be qualified as high or medium-high risk. In total, they total 2,838 kilometers distributed throughout Spain. Of these, 1,411.66 kilometers enter into the stretch category with a high risk of suffering an accident. The risk is much greater when we enter conventional roads. According to their data, there are 153 sections in Spain where the risk of suffering an accident is high, representing 8.37% of the kilometers that can be traveled by secondary road. And 148 sections are medium-high risk (8.10%). That is to say, 16.47% of the kilometers of a secondary road in Spain are framed within the medium-high or high risk category. With all these data, Race points out that the most dangerous sections of the Spanish roads (with more than 5 km in length and a average daily circulation greater than 2,000 vehicles) are the following: Road Home and End Autonomous Community Risk Index N-260 187,70-193.84 Catalonia 163.9 N-340 940.77 952.40 Valencian Community 159.7 N-6 516.30 523.40 Galicia 152.8 N-110 154.50 162.10 Castilla y León 152.8 N-345 0.00 7.20 Murcia 139.1 N-340 1,133,02 1,138.90 Catalonia 133.0 N-4 566.20 570.90 Andalusia 124.2 N-323 181,20 187.10 Andalusia 124.0 N-211 311,20 318.40 Aragon 118.8 N-111 234.70 244.60 Castilla y León 114.0 A-1A 40.60 46.60 Madrid 112.0 N-630 87.11 99.10 Castilla y León 111,1 N-630 556.50 565.30 Estremadura 110.7 N-631 0.00 5.00 Castilla y León 108.1 N-6 49.08 56.98 Madrid 107.4 N-325 9.00 20.15 Valencian Community 103.9 N-340 1,065.30 1,073.70 Catalonia 102.4 N-634 581.20 588.80 Galicia 100.1 N-123 8.00 14.60 Aragon 98.4 N-623 5.90 11.50 Castilla y León 97.7 N-123A 21,37 29.00 Aragon 94.5 Photo | Pricob ioan In Xataka | Spanish road numbers are not randomly placed: they obey a system that dates back to 1760
