12 premieres this week on Netflix, including the return of one of the platform’s most successful franchises

by

We cross the midway point of May, and we do it in a big way, with two premieres that are among the juiciest of this week in streaming: the return of ‘Berlín’ with a second season that recovers the most filigree and elegant side of ‘La casa de papel’, and ‘Flow’, one of the best animated films of recent years. And it is not the only thing that the most popular platform has in its portfolio this week. series Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine The second installment of the, for now, only spin-off of ‘La casa de papel’ announced by Netflix (we will have to see what those already announced next steps are in the franchise expansion) takes us to Seville: a great Andalusian businessman commissions Berlin, again played by Pedro Alonso, to steal ‘The Lady with an Ermine’, the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci that arrives in the city for an exhibition. Berlin believes that it is better to rob the thief himself, and sets up his usual gang: Michelle Jenner, Tristán Ulloa, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña Fernández and Joel Sánchez, who are joined by Inma Cuesta as an unpredictable and temperamental Sevillian. Premiere: Friday, May 15 Nemesis More robberies, more suspense and more tension with this series about the confrontation between two men who, despite being on opposite sides, share more than they imagine: an obsessive detective and a sophisticated thief expert in high-profile robberies. But they both share something that makes them more similar than they want to admit: they want to protect their families using the only means they know. Matthew Law and Y’lan Noel lead the cast of this series co-directed and produced by Mario Van Peebles.

increasingly successful at leisure than at home

Spain can boast of a rich gastronomic tradition based on fish. Neither that, nor their kilometers of coastHowever, not even the millions of euros that the country’s ports move each year have prevented the fish from going through a particular journey through the desert in Spanish homes, one marked by the collapse in consumption per capita and the closure of thousands and thousands of fishmongers. Behind this phenomenon there are several keys, such as cultural and educational changes that affect the purchase or the perception that consumers have of its cost, but there is also another interesting factor: we increasingly associate fish more with leisure and less with our refrigerators. Maybe we don’t plan to cook a sea bass for lunch, but we like to go to sushi, sashimi, pokés or ceviche for dinner. A percentage: 32%. These are not good times for the fish industry. Not at least in Spain. Markets and fishmongers have been losing strength in the shopping basket at a speed that is evident in consumption data per capita at home calculated by the ministry: if in 2014 each Spaniard consumed on average 26.4 kilos of fish per year, at the end of 2025 that indicator it already marked 17.8. In short: a collapse of 32.5% in just a decade. If we extend the comparison the decline is even greater. In 2009 They were close to 30 kg. A negative trend. The latest data They don’t exactly invite optimism either. According to the latest tables from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries (Mapa) on domestic consumption, in November 2025 each Spaniard ate an average of 1.48 kg, on which they spent 17.65 euros. The consumption data is more or less similar to that of 2024, but is far from the more than two kilos of 2015. In your sector report Most recently, with data from November 2025, Luis Planas’ department warned that the fish market in Spain “is losing purchasing intensity”, with a drop of almost 2% that is partially offset by the increase in prices. The most affected (by far) is the fresh merchandise business, which has fallen by 5.6%, dragging the rest of the sector along in its fall. Frozen sales actually rose by 1.5% in 2025. One figure: 5,000 businesses. The drop in fish purchases not only shows us what we eat at home, it also leaves a clear business reading. This ‘pinch’ in consumption has been accompanied by the closure of 5,000 fishmongers in Spain, such as I remembered a year ago The Newspaper. “A third of the 15,000 fishmongers that existed in 2007 have been lost, which means the closure of more than 350 traditional fishmongers per year,” corroborates Fedepesca. “In the same period the number of people employed in the sector has also gone from 26,237 to 18,396.” Although the closure of establishments coincides with changes in consumption and a lower presence of fish in the country’s refrigerators, Fedepesca recognizes that this is not the only challenge. “There is no generational change,” regrets before pointing to factors such as business hours or the lack of a firm commitment to training. In an attempt to diversify their income, some have even begun to explore new business avenues, such as pet food. Do all the fish fall? The truth is that no. And that is one of the keys that help us better understand the changes in fish consumption that Spain is experiencing. In your report ‘Fishing month by month’MAPA points out that there are species that have seen their demand increase over the last year, such as trout (27.7%), tuna (3.4%), sardines and anchovies (7.5%) and salmon (9.7%). The demand for smoked salmon and trout has also grown, by 9.1 and 38.9% respectively. The evolution of salmon stands out above all, not so much for its growth percentage as for its volume, with one of the highest per capita consumption among the species identified by MAPA. More fish (away from home). There is another indicator that is equally interesting. Fish consumption may decrease in homesbut his behavior is better outside the home. He report of Mercasa on “extradomestic consumption” of 2024 suggests that the product is improving its reception in restaurants, bars, hotels and other businesses where people can eat without cooking. Over the last few years, the organization has registered “a progressive increase in the extra-domestic consumption of fish and shellfish” that can be clearly seen in your graphicsIf in 2022 it was 145.9 million kilos, the following year it rose to 149.8 million and in 2024 it was already 155.7, the highest figure since at least 2020. Going down into more detail, the demand for seafood, squid, octopus, prawns and shrimp, salmon and fresh tuna stands out. During the start of 2025, out-of-home consumption of fish continued to increase, with a growth of 8.1% with respect to 2024. What does that tell us? We may have reduced the consumption of fish in our homes and in general we pay less attention to it when planning our meals, but its demand does not evolve the same at home as it does outside of it. In fact, the loss of fishmongers coincides with the rise of other types of businesses: establishments specializing in sushi, sashimi, poké and ceviche, dishes from foreign cuisines in which fish also plays an important role. Increasingly associated with leisure. Seen another way: fish consumption is losing strength in homes, but seems to be strengthening in others oriented towards ‘leisure’. Companies in the sector detect a problem of “perception” among consumers related to the price of fish, but the reality is that there are businesses that have been able to take advantage of it. In recent years there has been no shortage voices that they claim that the increase in the intake of salmon, one of the products that responds best, is directly related to the rise of Asian cuisine. Beyond the opening of businesses, interest in new ways of preparing fish was evident during … Read more

OpenAI is the most successful company on the planet. Also the one that plans to lose 85,000 million dollars in a single year

by

Something special is going to happen in 2026: both OpenAI and Anthropic are going public. This will finally mean that individual investors can invest in them and bet on their future with their money. It will be the definitive exam for the credibility of companies that have grown exceptionally in recent years but also They have burned the money as if there were no tomorrow. But be careful, because there is a compelling reality here: they are going to continue burning it in an even more astonishing way. The two sides of the IPO. The Wall Street Journal has had access to the financial documents submitted to investors before the IPOs proposed by both OpenAI and Anthropic. They reveal extraordinarily striking data that have two sides. Amazement and concern with OpenAI. For example, OpenAI has indicated that it will almost double its revenue this year. According to their forecasts, they could become profitable in 2026 if one excludes the cost of training their models (which are stratospheric, of course). But there is the other reality: OpenAI expects to spend $121 billion on computing power in 2028, so even doubling revenue it will lose, attention, $85 billion. No company has ever lost this amount of money and survived, but OpenAI not only promises that it will survive, but that those losses will end up being almost anecdotal. I tell you the truth, but only part of it. Both companies wanted to show two different versions of reality when talking about how they present their profitability. In one, the very expensive model training processes are included, and in others in which these costs are excluded under a heading called “computing for research.” Excluding those costs, OpenAI is on track to achieve a small pre-tax operating profit this year. Anthropic also promises to achieve this if its most optimistic scenario comes true. Excluding the cost of training models, both OpenAI and Anthropic could be “profitable” this year. Source: WSJ. Until 2030, no real profitability. If the costs and investment in model training are included, OpenAI indicates that it will end up being profitable in 2030, a fact that They had already planned a long time ago and that could not hide a forceful reality: the company has not only not stopped spending money until now: it is going to continue spending it, but to an even greater extent with projects like Stargate to the head. Saying that in 2026 they will be profitable if we do not consider training costs is like an airline telling us that it is profitable excluding the cost of fuel. Anthropic, by the way, expects to be fully profitable in 2028. Revenues growing fast, costs even faster. In addition to those training processes, both OpenAI and Anthropic are spending billions of dollars every year in inferencea section that is beginning to be even more important at an operational and strategic level. Currently, these inference costs represent half of each company’s revenue, although inference technology is expected to becomes cheaper and therefore the costs too. Here, however, there are two big differences between both companies: OpenAI: most ChatGPT users do not pay to use the service, so OpenAI assumes these inference costs without making them profitable. According to OpenAI, this facilitates adoption and will allow users to become subscribers in the future, something that is not happening too much at the moment. Anthropic: This startup has managed to win over many companies that pay to use their models, and it is evident that the company is absolutely focused on making you pay to use their models if you want to use them. And if not, Tell OpenClaw. Betting on the future. The companies and venture capital funds that have invested billions in OpenAI or Anthropic have made a bet on the future. They have blind faith that these companies will end up taking over the world, so the fact that today they are still not profitable does not scare them… or not enough to withdraw from this expensive race. Both have experienced spectacular growth that serves as an argument for investors. In addition, the growing interest of companies in integrating AI solutions by paying for them has boosted Anthropic and even caused OpenAI to reorganize and change its strategy. Less fireworks and hypemore focus in what makes money. The IPO as a trick to survive. Both companies are going to continue burning money like there was no tomorrow in the coming years, but now they hope that investors will be the ones to sustain their businesses. The amount of money they will need has made even the Nasdaq make things easier: It will allow newly listed companies to join its renowned index more quickly, giving them access to larger capital reserves. Now it will be the public market and to a large extent the individual investor who will decide whether they want to bet on that future or not. A small survey. Would you invest in OpenAI or Anthropic if it went public? It is evident that both companies generate different impressions, and although their strategies and ways of doing things are different, it is clear that this public sale offer is going to be very striking when it occurs. So, it is a good time to find out a little about what you, the xatakeros, think about this financial movement of these companies.

A Harry Potter fan fiction was so successful that it changed the names of its protagonists. And thanks to this he earned 3 million dollars

by

A Harry Potter fanfic has just become one of the most successful publishing releases of the year. ‘Alchemised‘, SenLinYu’s debut novel, sold 300,000 copies during its first week in bookstores and reached number one on The New York Times bestseller list. But the real impact came days before its publication, when Legendary Entertainment paid more than $3 million for the film rights, setting a record for a debut novel. How it was done. The story behind the book is as notable as its figures: ‘Alchemised’ was originally titled ‘Manacled’, and was a fanfiction that mixed the universe of harry potter with ‘The Handmaid’s Tale‘ by Margaret Atwood, focusing on the relationship between Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Over 18 months, SenLinYu transformed his viral story (which racked up millions of reads on the fanfictions Archive of Our Own) in a completely original work, eliminating all traces of intellectual property of JK Rowling and Atwood of the text, but trying to preserve the core of the narrative. The result: Favorite Debut Novel of 2025 at the Goodreads Choice Awards. What is it about? Alchemised follows Helena Marino, an alchemist and healer who awakens after 14 months as a prisoner of war of the necromancers, the victorious side in a devastating civil war. Helena discovers that her mind has been magically altered, erasing crucial memories from a part of her life she doesn’t even remember owning. The book has a violent and dark approach, and that is why SenLinYu rejects the “romance” label despite the love component: “I didn’t write this book with the idea that it would be seen as aspirational.”he states. The author’s past. The appeal of the book lies precisely in that uncompromising darkness. SenLinYu, of Japanese descent, injects into her fantasy elements based on the real horrors of war (her maternal grandmother was in American concentration camps during World War II) and has sought to recover ignored historical perspectives, particularly the experiences of Soviet women on the Eastern Front. That combination of epic fantasy and anti-war criticism has connected with readers who seek more mature and disturbing narratives than those usual in the genre. The paradigmatic case. The path of fanfiction The publishing phenomenon has an inescapable antecedent: ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’. In 2009, EL James began publishing chapters of ‘Master of the Universe’ on Fanfiction.netreimagining the relationship between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from ‘Twilight’, without vampires but with a domineering billionaire. Reader reaction was so positive that James self-published the story in 2011 after removing explicit references to Stephenie Meyer’s saga and renaming the protagonists Christian Gray and Anastasia Steele. The leap came in March 2012, when Random House acquired the rights of the novel in a seven-figure contract. The result was more than 150 million copies sold globally and a film trilogy that grossed $1.3 billion at the global box office. Even then Jennifer Bergstrom, executive at Simon & Schuster, declared that “the fanfiction It has definitely become part of what we publish. This is changing the industry at a time when traditional publishing needs it most.” For the first time, major publishers were publicly acknowledging that online communities of amateur writers were a legitimate talent pool. Other successes. The success of ‘Fifty Shades’ was not an isolated case. Anna Todd wrote a story about One Direction’s Harry Styles on Wattpad in 2013, publishing it in serial format under the title ‘After’. The story accumulated more than 1,000 million readings on the platform before Simon & Schuster offered him a contract with which sold more than 10 million copies and generated five movies. More recently, Ali Hazelwood transformed her fanfiction of Star Wars centered on Rey and Kylo Ren in ‘The Love Hypothesis’, which It will soon be adapted to film. The journey here. This transformation of fanfiction into a bestseller would not have been possible without the digital ecosystem that supports it. Archive of Our Own It houses more than 13 million works and has become the most important archive of transformative writing. ‘Manacled’ by SenLinYu It was the second most read story in the entire history of the web when it was removed in January 2025, having accumulated more than 10 million views and 84,000 kudos (the equivalent of “likes”). This phenomenon has forced the traditional publishing industry to rethink its methods of attracting talent. Literary agents and editors now systematically scour Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, and Fanfiction.net, identifying high-impact stories before offering contracts. Removing references to other people’s intellectual property is now a standardized process, and thanks to this, trends such as videos on ‘Manacled’ accumulated millions of views years before ‘Alchemised’ hit bookstores. A whole tide of public before the official publication of the book. In Xataka | JK Rowling against fandom: How the Harry Potter universe lost its magic

‘Baby Shark’ is the most successful song in YouTube history. It is also the least profitable of all

by

It has already gone somewhat out of fashion, at least in terms of omnipresence at children’s parties, birthdays and meetings with children, but in those transition years between the birth of YouTube and the current flood of children’s content generated by AIs and insane algorithms on the platform, ‘Baby Shark‘It was a monumental success. One that, however, did not make its creators millionaires, unlike what many of us came to believe. Baby Shark, the legend. The infectious original song, since its publication on YouTube in June 2016, has accumulated an average of more than 4.7 million daily views. Now it’s at 16.4 billion views. Success transcends borders: available in 25 different languages, the United States leads as the main market in number of views, while Brazil holds the record in number of “likes.” In 2020, it dethroned ‘Despacito’ as the most viewed content on YouTube. And the distance continues to grow: ‘Despacito’ remains at 8.86 billion views, and ‘Baby Shark’ already doubles it. As The Wall Street Journal saysto get an idea of ​​the dimensions of the achievement: the amount is approximately equivalent to the sum of Taylor Swift’s ten most popular music videos on the platform. There is no money. Despite the records, Pinkfong, the South Korean company that created the song, barely generated $67 million in 2024. The reason: child privacy restrictions drastically limit its advertising monetization. In September 2019, Google agreed to pay 170 million dollars to resolve accusations of systematic violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The US Federal Trade Commission determined that the platform had collected cookies and IP addresses from children under 13 years of age to serve you personalized advertisingwithout obtaining parental consent. The sanction (136 million for the FTC, 34 million for the State of New York) represented the largest fine imposed until then for violations of this type. The investigation revealed that YouTube advertised itself among toy brands such as Mattel and Hasbro as a leader in reaching children ages 6 to 11. Changes for Baby Shark. This fine led to YouTube banning personalized advertising in “Made for Kids” content as of January 2020. Additionally, it disabled features such as comments, subscription notifications, playlists, and live chat. The economic impact was notable: Children’s content creators reduced their production by 18% and views fell by 20%. Profits plummeted between 60% and 90% compared to content with personalized advertising. Others affected. Other big names in children’s entertainment also saw stars with YouTube’s decision. Cocomelonwhich has two of the ten videos confirmed significant revenue losses after the removal of personalized advertising. Chris Williams, co-founder of pocket.watch (a digital studio specialized in children’s content), said that the main channels in the sector, such as the Indian ChuChu TV, had experienced drops between 50% and 60% in their advertising revenue since January 2020. To survive. Faced with monetization restrictions, Pinkfong has built a diversified business model where YouTube advertising represents only a fraction of its revenue. According to data from the first half of 202568% of its sales now come from content distribution (YouTube, but also Netflix and live shows), while merchandising contributes 15%, licensing 10%, and the remaining segment corresponds to video games and other digital products. This allowed the company to achieve a profit of approximately 13 million dollars in 2024 on total revenues of 67 million. Of course, its CEO has already spoken of integrating artificial intelligence and data analysis in content creation. No more viral bombs.

The normal thing when a product is successful is that the manufacturer renews it the following year. Hello iPhone Air

by

Apple has a problem, almost a syndrome with the fourth iPhone. For years it has been trying to integrate a new variant of the “classic” iPhone into the family, but the success of these models has always been limited. It happened with the iPhone mini and then with the iPhone Plus in its different versions. And now it seems to be happening with his brand new iPhone Air. No iPhone Air 2 at the moment. As indicated in The InformationApple has warned “engineers and suppliers that they would remove the future iPhone Air (next generation) from planning without providing a new release date.” Three different sources have confirmed that Apple has no intention at the moment of relaunching a second iteration of the iPhone Air. We expected it in 2026. Theoretically, the second-generation iPhone Air should have been launched next fall alongside the iPhone 18 family and the rumored iPhone Fold. And it was going to be much better. It was expected to be even lighter than the current iPhone Air and still have a higher capacity battery. In fact, sources close to the project also reveal that Apple was working on a new cooling system that debuted with the iPhone 17 Pro and that would be adapted to those hypothetical iPhone Air (2026). It was even rumored that instead of a single camera I would have two. Bad sales. The reason for that decision seems to be sales of the iPhone Air below expectations. News had already appeared that Apple had ordered a huge production cut to just 80% of the original capacity: that ultralight model does not seem to have attracted the mass public. Minimum production. In The Information they confirm this reduction in production. According to their data, Foxconn has “dismantled all but one and a half production lines, and expect to stop production completely at the end of this month.” Apple’s other major manufacturing partner for the iPhone Air, Luxshare, already stopped its production of this model at the end of October. New release schedule. Following the news, what is now expected is that Apple will present its new family of devices in two different phases: Fall 2026: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Fold (unofficial name) Spring 2027: iPhone 18, iPhone 18e The other possibility. Sources close to the company reveal that the iPhone Air could simply be suffering important changes —like those mentioned— for a theoretical second generation. That would make its development process a little longer, but it is not ruled out that this model will end up appearing in spring 2027 along with the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e. The condemnation of iPhones that are liked but do not sell. we loved it the iPhone mini—like everyone else who bought it—but it didn’t sell much. The iPhone Plus also proved to be an interesting product, but it didn’t catch on either. In both cases, Apple ended up abandoning these models to focus on what worked in sales, and now seems to be doing the same, or, at least, adjusting production to demand, something that makes perfect sense from a business point of view.

There is a reason why the most successful technological ones are not limited to what they know: the ‘antilibrary’

by

Telefónica Perfect your telecommunications manuals. Huawei Build autonomous driving systems. Nokia dominated each protocol of mobile telephony when Apple redefined what should be a phone. They are opposed philosophies about the relationship between knowledge and power. The concept of ‘Antilibrary‘coined by Taleb – noticeable not acquired – is the secret of companies that not only want to register in the future, but to build it. Although ‘anti -librería’ or ‘anti -library’ could be literal translations, ‘reverse library’ is closer to its description. They are the companies that Curiosity have institutionalized as a central discipline. Bytedance never had experts in recommendation algorithms, had an infrastructure to hold questions about human behavior patterns that no one else considered relevant. Tiktok was born from that sustained question for years. Of an organization designed to explore hypotheses that seemed irrelevant. Today Tiktok is worth between 100,000 and 400,000 million dollarsproduct of productive ignorance made system. Huawei is an extreme example of this philosophy. Your 2024 report It is not a catalog of dominated markets, but an inventory of unexplored territories. Each division – Chips Asce, cloud solutions, 5g infrastructure, Harmonyos– It is designed to colonize spaces that still do not exist, not only to defend known positions. Huawei operates from A mentality that considers each market an experimental laboratory in which to grow questions: What happens when connectivity becomes invisible? How does experience change when hardware and software are designed as a unified ecosystem? What markets appear by merging telecommunications and ia? Amazon monetized his internal infrastructure (AWS), converted trade into entertainment (prime video), endowed voice homes (Alexa). His Antilibrary –Hipothesis not proven – is its innovation engine. McDonald’s improved the experience avoiding tails with kiosks, the wait with internal geolocation through Beaconsreimagined restoration as a digital interface. Burger King perfects hamburgers but McDonald’s rediseña experiences. Another contrast: Mercadona has perfected food distribution until it becomes crafts And thanks to this he is an absolute leader, but he has never wondered what more he could distribute. It is maximum specialization, total efficiency, but not reinvention. Technology has invested the equation: Deep knowledge before was an asset but now it is a liability because the specializations expire in months. Institutionalizing productive ignorance is a way to ensure a better future. Goal can lose virtual reality, Apple can be left behind in ia and Google can see how they move in searches. But companies designed around systematic curiosity can pivot towards territories that still have no name. The future belongs to those who collect better questions.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have shared the same key to be successful: choose what to focus on

by

Bill Gates’ father brought together several people, among whom He was Warren Buffett, and asked what it was, in a word, The secret of his success. Both Microsoft’s founding millionaire and his good friend Buffett responded exactly the same: focus “You must focus. Eliminate distractions. Commit with only one thing and become excellent in it. “These are some of the advice that insistently repeat many productivity experts, such as the author of ‘Atomic habits‘, James Clear. This idea sounds logical. However, the big question for those who read those advice is How to know what to focus your energies. Experience before choosing How to know what to dedicate your attention and energy if you don’t know what really interests you? That is one of the questions you must answer before asking yourself What to focus on. Before deciding on what to concentrate your energy, it is necessary to try different paths. As Clear tells In your personal experienceDuring his first year as an entrepreneur he made many mistakes: “I launched my first product without having an idea who would sell it (big surprise, nobody bought it).” Therefore, your recommendation is Do not get obsessed with a single idea will work. It is necessary to try between four and five different alternatives for a while and, if it does not convince you, go to the next. This approach to “try things until something is easy” is essential because, regardless of the objective, it must adapt to your nature and skills. If you are looking to be more productive, experience with several Organization techniques. However good they are and no matter how much they work To people in your environment, you may not adapt to your way of working, To your biorhythms or your way of processing the information. Simply stop committing you to work with you and try Another different technique. The same happens if your goal is to start exercising, prove different sports. Maybe the Running Don’t be yours And it seems bored, and what you really enjoy is yoga or paddle. As the author of the Best seller on productivitythe important thing is not to obtain that a single option must work at all costs. Leaving behind what does not fit with you will allow you to discover what best suits your personality and lifestyle. Choose and Persevear: Invisible work Once you have experienced enough to discover what fits you and what is not, it is time to decide What are you going to focus on. As Clear explains, there comes a time in the process in which you don’t need more information, you just need to make a decision. This is one of the most difficult moments, because it implies putting aside the constant search and commit yourself to a single option. It’s time to focus. From here, perseverance becomes fundamental. Real progress It is not usually visible at the beginning. For example, you must be aware that, if you start going to the gym, you will have to do thousands of repetitions before noticing physical changes. If you want to be a great chef, you will first have to cook many mediocre (or bad) dishes. As Ira Glass pointed outfounder of the podcast This American Life“Your taste is good enough to notice that what you do disappoints you.” That is, only through repetition and constant learning the basis of success for a project, regardless of its nature, begin to lay. It doesn’t matter if it’s about Study oppositionsimprove your productivity, read more either Acquire new habits healthy The practice and art of simplifying Excellence is achieved with constant practice. After going through the phases of experimentation and hard work, the time comes when you can start simplifying. James Clear summarize it like this: “Only after completing the repetitions you will understand which parts of the task are fundamental for success.” It is then, when You have created a solid systemWhen you can Cut processesbetter choose your tools and eliminate what does not provide value. Getting something simple is, paradoxically, the most difficult. As wrote Blaise Pascal: “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” True mastery consists in knowing exactly What is essential and what is accessorysomething that is only achieved after a lot of practice and learning. Each person has their own rhythm, but the path to simplicity and approach inevitably happens through experience and perseverance. In Xataka | Lack of motivation is a problem for productivity.

You can no longer sell your chip for the most successful in China

by

The commitment reached Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, and Donald Trump At the end of last week In the restaurant of the Mar-A-Lago Tourist Complex of Palm Beach (Florida) It was a mirage. Wet paper During the last weeks several filters anticipated that the Department of Commerce, which under Trump’s mandate is being led by Howard Lutnick, intended to prevent the chip for artificial intelligence (AI) NVIDIA H20 I continue to arrive in China. At the current situation for the company directed by Jensen Huang this GPU is very important. In fact, her engineers designed her to have a chip for the people who could deliver to her Chinese clients when US sanctions They prohibited Nvidia for sale in the country led by Xi Jinping of the GPU A800 and H800as well as graphics cards with chip GeForce RTX 4090. Previously the Department of Commerce had also radically restricted the sale in China of the GPUs A100 and H100the most advanced of Nvidia at that time. Nvidia’s success in China has the days counted 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 US Department of Commerce has imposed export restrictions on China from the GPU H20 Despite all this era of bonanza for Nvidia in China is about to finish. And finally the leaks have been fulfilled: the US Department of Commerce It has imposed restrictions to the export to China of the H20 GPU, and this in practice means that this chip presumably It will not reach Chinese clients in Nvidia. During the dinner I have mentioned in the first lines of this article Jensen Huang presumably committed to Donald Trump to invest more money in data centers for the US. In return, Nvidia could continue selling its H20 GPU in China. After all, this is the chip that currently supports its business in this Asian country. But This pact has faded. And the company led by Jensen Huang is already paying it. His shares have fallen 6% and Nvidia has announced that this prohibition will cause a hole in its accounts of 5.5 billion dollars due to the commitments linked to the H20 GPU that the reserves of this chip had already acquired that it will finally not be satisfied. Among the Chinese clients who have bought large amounts of this GPU, and who presumably planned to continue doing it, are Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance.

With the first 100% successful launch of Ariane 6, Europe has started leaving the sad well in which I was in which

by

Europe already has the two rockets totally operational They put it in a mess: Vega-C and Ariane 6. The European Space Agency (ESA) breathes relieved, but knows that it is not the same to recover autonomous access to space as to compete with Spacex. For that, more investment in private companies will need. The Ariane 6 rocket has flown, now, without mishaps of any kind The rocket for heavy loads ariane 6 of that He has successfully completed his first commercial flight. After numerous delays, the rocket took off in its Ariane 62 configuration (with two lateral propellers and a short cofa) from the always cloudy European space port in the French Guiana. The launch operated by Arianespace was impeccable, both in rocket yield as in live broadcastwhich had four cameras aboard the pitcher. In this second launch, the first commercial and the first totally successful, the Ariane 6 put in Heliosíncrona orbit the spy cso-3 satellite of the armed forces of France. He did 1 hour and 6 minutes after takeoff, 800 km altitude. The CSO-3 satellite has thus joined its precursors CSO-1 and CSO-2, launched in 2018 and 2020 by Soyuz rockets, before the EU forbade collaboration with Russia. The new French recognition network offers optical and infrared images with unprecedented quality for France and its allies. The Ariane 6 rocket, developed by Arianegroup for ESA, is therefore operational. His first launch, held in July 2024 (one year after Ariane 5 flew for the last time) was successful in the takeoff and deployment of several satellites, but failed to exorbitar, leaving two reentry capsules strained in orbit that were part of the mission. A temperature parameter out of the rank caused the rocket software to prevent the third ignition of the Vinci engine of the upper stage. A software update was enough to face the second launch, although it has occurred almost eight months after Ariane 6 debut. Europe begins to recover its sovereignty in space ESA already sees light at the end of the tunnel. The European launch crisis caused by the delays of the Ariane 6 heavy rocket and the incidents of the Vega-C light rocket reduced the number of annual flights to only threethe minimum of 15 years. Strategic missions such as Galileo (European GPS) or Spanish military satellite spainsat ng 1 They had to be thrown by Spacex. By 2025, ESA plans to make 10 space releases, six from Ariane 6 (including the first Ariane 64 with four propellers) and four vega-c. It is far behind the nearly 200 launches scheduled by the United States (mainly, Spacex Starlink missions), but it is a number that is closer to the goal of recovering autonomous access to space, something that becomes special importance with the Europe rearme announced by Ursula von der Leyen. Josef Aschbacher, general director of ESA, said that the United States It allocates five times more public money to the space sector that Europe, which explains the gap in the rhythm of launches and the manufacture of satellites. The question is whether Ariane 6 and Vega-C, which are not reusable rockets, can even compete with Spacex’s falcon. And as Aschbacher knows no, that is tending all kinds of contracts for a new generation of reusable European pitchers, in which companies such as the Spanish PLD Space participate.
