How it affects the change from time to sleep

by

At two will be the three and, as a consequence of that, the dream patterns throughout Europe They will put themselves Above up. Another year. And it is logical: the day after time change, people It takes 33 minutes more than average In going to bed. In addition, they wake up 19 minutes before. That is, what does it affect us? Clear. And not only in quantitative terms; but also in qualitative term. The quality of sleep during the week following time change is frankly bad. Much worse in people between 20 and 30. These are U’s conclusionsn Analysis of sleep patterns of Samsung Health users in more than 40 countries and is interesting. Not because it is extremely representative. After all, the data starts from a huge sample selection bias: they are only its users. However, it does allow us to approach this curious phenomenon with first -hand data. Something that, until recently, was quite complicated. Samsung Health The Spanish surprise. That’s where a surprise comes to us. As I say, the analysis covers more than 40 countries around the world where the time change occurs. Of all of them, Spain is the one who showed greater stability in your sleep patterns. That is, Samsung Health users in Spain are the ones who least affected themselves in their dream for the hourly change. On average, they only delayed bedtime in 16 minutes (the country closest to us was Italy with 19) and the schedule of waking was only affected in five minutes during the first week; two during the second. Why does this happen? Well, the truth is that it is difficult to say. A possible reason may be, of course, that the Spaniards We go to bed very late. That leaves us little margin, on average, to delay the time to go to bed. However, there are other possibilities. As Jose María Olalla has defends for yearsProfessor of Physics at the University of Seville, in countries like ours “it cannot be said that (the change of seasonal schedule) is a bad idea.” Olalla explains that “at summer time it works well in summer and winter time works well in winter. Having summer time in winter is complicated, having the winter time in summer is also complicated. For different reasons, but it will always be a problem.” There are countries where change is a solution and others in which not. That is, the change of time is a simple, coordinated and fast way to adapt the schedule of the whole society to the fact that, in summer, the sun rises before. It is true that it can CAUSE DISPRUPTIONS DURING THE FIRST DAYS or weeks; But taking into account that seasonality is natural, that change would have to occur yes or yes. And the disruptions would remain in one way or another. However, we must not take it very seriously. On the one hand, we do not know how wide the sample in Spain. On the other, as well as Olalla told us“people usually do what they want, even in front of the official schedule. They do strange things, things that often collide with what theoretically is adequate.” Image | Lukas Blazek | Anthony Tran In Xataka | “Cenan at 10, they work at 9”: foreigners are understandably intrigued about how we sleep in Spain

Duplicate the rest of the time of eating

by

In recent months a figure in Mexico has sounded strongly: 40 hours. In many parts of the planet it is a standard to which the nation aspires in labor key thus reducing the weekly workday. There are the First experiments and tests around the world To define if it is plausible to reduce it even to four days a week. Also those who go to the counter, with Elon Musk at the head and Your 120 hours a week. Mexico now debates a new proposal: rest more, but at work. Duplicate the break. In the middle of the national debate for the reduction of the working day at 40 hours a weekthe parliamentary group of Morena has presented a New initiative In the most creative Senate. One that also aims to improve working conditions in Mexico, but differently. The senator Julieta Ramírez Padilla proposed on March 18 a reform to article 63 of the Federal Labor Law for Duplicate the minimum rest period Within the working day, going from the current 30 minutes one hour. The proposal. Framed within the progressive labor agenda of the party in power, it responds to the need to adapt the current regulations (intact for more than half a century) to the physical, mental and social demands of the contemporary Mexican workforce, recognizing that time, not only as a time to eat food or drinks, but as an indispensable condition for the exercise of decent and healthy work. A more “human” pause. In The documentit is emphasized that pauses during working hours are fundamental to prevent exhaustion and reduce stress generated by productive activity. The International Labor Organization (ILO) support this vision Highlighting that breaks are essential to preserve the health of the worker. The senator emphasizes that, within the member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Mexico It stands out negatively for the high number of working hours compared to low salary levels, which implies that free time has a “higher cost” For Mexican workers. International examples. Morena’s approach also relies on examples that reflect a trend Towards work models more balanced. In Portugal and in New York, for example, laws establish at least one rest within the day. In Finland, the legal framework grants an hour of pause for every six hours of work, and in Italy there are provisions that give fifteen minutes for every two continuous hours in certain cases. These measures seek not only the preservation of workers’ health, but also to promote more human, fair and productive environments. The Mexican proposal would thus align with a modern vision of work that considers the employee, not only as an economic agent, but as a person with rights, dignity and integral needs. The (“slow”) legal framework. We said it at the beginning, the senator has also contextualized the proposal within a legal framework that has remained unaltered for more than a century (From the promulgation of the Mexican Constitution in 1917). The regulation of the working day in the Mexican Constitution has not been modified since then, and the Federal Labor Law has barely registered changes Significant in the last 50 years, despite the deep transformations that the world of work has experienced. Currently, the chapter related to the working day contemplates eleven legal provisionsamong which are article 58, which defines the day as the time in which the worker “is available to the employer”; Article 59, which allows to agree on the distribution of hours “to facilitate breaks”; and article 61, which establishes a maximum day of eight day diurnal hours, seven night and seven and a half hours for the mixed day. Article 63, which is intended to modify, currently establishes a minimum of half an hour of rest in continuous days. An ambitious agenda. It is the leg that is seen with the proposal to expand the work rest, which adds to a series of reforms that make up the large labor agenda promoted by Morena in 2025. According to El Economista figuresduring the first session of the LXVI Legislature there have been at least 68 initiatives to reform the Federal Labor Law. Among the most prominent: the reduction of the working day to those 40 hours a week we commented, the increase in Aguinaldo 30 days and the creation of mourning permits. The reduction of the day, in particular, is a President’s priority Claudia Sheinbaum and has legislative support since November 2024, with an initiative signed by Deputies Napoleón Gómez Urrutia and Manuel Vázquez Arellano that contemplates a gradual implementation to ensure its economic viability. The future. The truth is that, although the proposal of Senator Ramírez Padilla has gone to Senate commissions for analysis and eventual opinion, his legislative destiny is still uncertain. It will be necessary to achieve a consensus between different political, business and social actors to consolidate the necessary support. In this way, the substantive approach represents an opportunity for rethink the structure of work in the nation from a perspective focused on human rights, health, equity and productive efficiency. The idea of ​​duplicating the rest time within the working day not only responds to international standards, but also to a (growing) social demand due to more just, human and sustainable working conditions.

There are a lot of time apps. Know which one that is most accurate is almost impossible

by

You get up one morning. You look at the application of time on your phone. “100% rain,” or so says. You go to the window and there is a scorching sun illuminating the street. Worse is to consult the application of time, that just 10 or 20% probability of rain and, as soon as you leave, you fall a downpour. The latter is what It has been happening in Spain during the month of Marchone of The rainiest in a long time. Although we blame apps not to predict perfectly, the truth is that interpreting them is not as easy as it seems. How time apps work. Time applications work by combining data from different meteorological models to show us what are the rain forecasts for that day. Each of them is based on a different model, depending on the company behind. These models can be global or regional, having the latter more precision in specific areas. In Spain, Aemet operates with different models such as Arome, MM5 or Reion, although time apps can use models outside our country. Apple and Android. Apple’s time app uses information collected by The Weather Channelsince it has Your own API to provide meteorological data to other apps. If we use an android, such as an Xiaomi, your app works with information from Accuweather. This is precisely what makes each app show us a different fact: each of them is based on the models that it considers, and make predictions on their own. For example, use your own prediction system called Accuweather Minutecast, which combines numerical models with artificial intelligence and real -time radar data to offer hyperlocal forecasts. It does not generate its own weather models from scratch, process information from global models. 100% rain. One of the main problems in the time apps has to do with how they show the information to the user. If we see 70% in the app, probably, let’s understand that the probability of raining in our city is 70%, something that is not completely. In fact, the thing is even more complicated if we go to the forecast for hours and there we see that the percentages are lower than those of the total day. Quite difficult. We start from the basis that the weather prediction It is a complex science due to the dynamic and chaotic nature of the Earth’s atmosphere. Factors such as sudden changes in temperature, pressure, humidity, wind patterns and ocean currents interact intricately, creating a network of interconnected processes difficult to foresee exactly. What is “100%”. There is a common common interpretation with respect to the percentage of probability of rain showing weather applications. It is easy to think that a “100% rain” indicates that it will rain throughout the day throughout the area. The truth is that this 100% means that, in similar weather conditions, it has rained 10 out of 10 times. But it is possible that this new occasion does not do it. The percentage does not determine the rain that will fall, but the statistical mark of how frequent it has been raining in similar conditions. The best way to measure it. The time apps have these limitations, and so they will continue to be until the meteorological measurement system changes. Something that will not happen in the short term. That is why in recent years there is a very booming app: rain radar. Unlike traditional time apps, Rain Alarm is an app that is based on real -time radar data. These radar models do not work in the long term: they use data to make predictions in almost immediate ranges. This is why, with just opening the radar app, we can observe much more precisely the state of the atmosphere. Today, this is the most accurate way of knowing immediately how the weather will behave. And, still, it will still not be accurate. Image | ECMWF In Xataka | Aemet already knows when the storm that is soaking Spain is over. The problem is that another act comes another

Meteorological forecasts are a private preserve. A new AI model wants to democratize the prediction of time

by

A group of researchers has just raised a most striking option: democratize meteorology. Your new weather prediction system challenges traditional systems, very expensive in computational resourcesand make use of AI so that (almost) any of us can become a meteorologist who performs his own personalized predictions. Aardvark Weather. This is the name of a new system of weather predictions that according to those responsible will make any researcher with a desktop PC in a full -fledged meteorologist. The system makes use of AI algorithms and raises an alternative to the conventional systems they use thousands of times more computing capacity. Homemade predictions. The normal thing is that a weather forecast platform takes several hours to process a prognosis. For this, it also needs supercomputers and a team of experts who develop, maintain and display those forecast systems. Aardvark Weather allows you to train an AI model with data from Meteorological stationssatellites, ships or airplanes worldwide and then make predictions based on that data. The investigation. The study Published in Nature this week comes from a group of researchers from the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research and the European Center for Medium-Russian Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). In it they explain how the numerical weather prediction (NWP) is being replaced For automatic learning and neuronal networks that allow “improving the speed and precision” of the prediction. Hyperlocalized forecasts. Among other things the system would allow to offer hyperlocalized forecasts and adapted to specific industries. Richard Turner, automatic learning professor at the University of Cambridge, explained In The Guardian how this model could be used to predict temperatures for agricultural crops in areas of Africa or The wind speeds For a renewable energy company in Europe. The time in the next eight days. Turner adds that the model could be able to generate precise forecasts for a range of up to eight days in the future, when it is normal for precise forecasts to only be guaranteed to five days. Rapid. This system is capable of generating a complete forecast from observational data in a second when processing it in four NVIDIA A100 GPUS, when 1,000 hours-nodo is normally taken in the HRES model of the ECMWF. Ideal for developing countries. There are regions in which these types of forecasts are especially important, and having a “personalized” system would be very useful. Aardvark Weather offers that option according to its creators, because both its implementation and its use is much more accessible. Previous attempts. At the end of 2023 Deepmind precisely Graphcast announceda meteorological prediction system based on AI that had an operation up to 1,000 times cheaper in energy consumption. Its precision was in fact greater than the best of current systems, but it does not seem that development has been implemented in practice. A few months ago Deepmind researchers presented their evolution, called Gencastanother prediction based on automatic learning that improved its predecessor and that of course competes with Aardvark Weather. Everything therefore points to this type of systems are gaining ground and interest, but remains to be seen if they apply massively.

Chance or not, Tesla has collapsed in the stock market at the same time that its great rival has shot: byd

by

Like a rocker. Like the communicating vessels that claim to be Barça and Madrid. As, the most Chinese, concept of Ying and Yang. Or as the most Spanish, said of “the two sides of the same currency.” Byd and Tesla seem to be in completely opposite points. Just when one seems to have Detwered And it does not stop presenting new solutions for its vehicles the other seems to be completely stagnant in the launch of new proposals. When one has taken off the other one in a clear setback. We do not know what will last but what is clear is that, at the moment, photography for Byd and Tesla cannot be more different. Two completely different scenarios It is enough to review the last six months of Byd and Tesla to verify that the situation cannot be more different for both companies. From Tesla’s point of view, if we look back half a year we find that the company was about to enter a roller emission mountain. In October 2024 Tesla presented what he aspired to be a blow on the table. Your promise: a robotaxi without pedals or steering wheel which should be sold from 2026 for 30,000 euros. Although doubts emerged at first given Cruise and Waymo’s performance In the autonomous driving market and the mountain of money burned along the way, Donald Trump’s choice shortly after An unexpected impulse To the company. Despite contraintuitive, choosing a president who seemed contrary to the electric car was A good way to keep Tesla at the top… from the United States. Because The actions shot But the data has ended up clicking the bubble. First with the confirmation that Tesla He could not sell more cars in 2024 than the previous year. Second because 2025 has started horrificly For Elon Musk’s company. And, third, because the falls are more pronounced in the countries that buy the most electric, such as China and Germany. To all of the above you have to add a reputational crisis of the company as a consequence of Elon Musk’s political decisions. The real impact is not very clear in their drop in stock market but that social networks have been filled with people denying the company or attacked vehicles and concessionaires Because of the decisions of his CEO they do not seem to help at all. If we look Stock performance Six months, the company seems to have been stagnant above the border of the 200 dollars/action. Its value remains very high and a setback of less than 4% does not seem too much but the growth and subsequent adjustment have been so accused that they do not invite to be optimistic either. On the contrary, the performance of byd Six months seen is very different. His actions have grown 55% and in the last year they have shot above 80%. And in recent months the wind blows in favor of the Chinese company. It ended 2024 with the aim of reaching Tesla as the company that sold the most electric cars. He did not get it for little But the smile was not frozen for a long time. The company managed to place itself as The fifth manufacturer who sold more cars In all 2024. a figure in which only plug and electrical hybrid vehicles are contemplated or, as they are called in China, new energy. Unlike others rivals like Saic Or the Geely group, all byd cars take advantage of electricity so they have it more complicated in markets such as Spanish where cheaper and pure combustion cars triumph. However, the prospects for 2025 invite you to be optimistic. The company has sold almost double in the first two months of the year as in the same period of 2023. It is determined to find soil for new factories. In America I intended Install in Mexico But he will have to deal with the restrictions of his own country. In Europe they are already clear that This same year They will decide where they will raise their third floor on our continent (If we count the Turkish as the second of its expansionist plans in Europe). And in China they do not stop launching products to each more striking. If the Chinese electric car market were the Barcelona Club football we could say that they are month than a car. To continue attracting customers, for example, a platform for launch and record you driving. Beyond this curiosity, the real announcement was the confirmation that they will give away their Eye of God In all its vehicles. This is a missile in Tesla’s flotation line. Elon Musk’s company intends that its functions of driving or Autonomous driving (in the future) Be a more source of income. Byd they argue that they are a purchase value in itself and prefers to give them them thinking that the business can be make profitable with other services To enjoy when your eye of God is active. To the latter you have to add your new platform. The Super E-Platform is already ready to ride in its two larger cars and price. The incentive in this case will be his very quick loading times. Next to this platform, the company presented new recharge stations. The combination of both products should be able to load electric cars with peaks up to 1,000 kW. That is, the power that had so far been thought to recharge electric trucks. With such a charge power, Byd says that 400 kilometers of autonomy can be recharged in five minutes. The recharge time would be matching the time we spent pouring gasoline. This last announcement has served the company to receive a tremendous push in the stock market. In what we have been, their shares have risen almost 13% and strengthens the sustained growth of the last year until its historical maximum. It remains to be seen if Tesla manages to recover and get out of the stumbling block in which … Read more

Elon Musk has revealed the formula of his team’s success. The problem is that they barely have time to sleep and eat

by

Facing The experiments and tests around the world that seek to establish a four -day workdaythe richest man on the planet proposes a hardly justifiable leap against. Elon Musk recently revealed which is the “formula of success” of the efficiency office it manages in the United States government. The keys: work So many hours that sleep deprivation threatens the health of the workers themselves. The culture of the extreme. He did it a few weeks ago through Your X account. Elon Musk revealed then that he and his department of government efficiety (Doge) work work nothing less than 120 hours per weeka figure that triples the standard day 40 hours. Musk argued that this titanic effort is what allows them to overcome their “bureaucratic opponents,” who operate with conventional schedules. What does science say to all this? Divide the day. Making the accounts more or less standard, and since a week has 168 hours, working 120 hours is to leave alone 48 hours for any other activityincluding in the eating equation, bathing, moving to work/return home and, of course, sleeping. In the best case, if an employee allocated those 48 hours only to sleep, he would get a maximum of 6.8 hours per night, well below The 8 recommended hours by health experts. However, it is still a utopia considering the time of displacement and any other of the basic needs, so it is likely that real rest is much lower. Science. In Fortune They collected several studies that warn about the serious consequences of working in excess. Mayo Clinic points out that sleep less than 7 hours At night it can contribute to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke and depression. WHO data already indicated in 2016 that 745,000 people died by cardiovascular diseases associated with working days of 55 hours or more. Microsueños. Since the 1950s, scientists Like William Dement They have documented The effects of sleep In the brain, identifying the IMPORTANCE OF REM DREAM and discovering the phenomenon of The so -called “microsueños”episodes of momentary unconsciousness that can cause fatal errors at work. More recently, studies have shown that lack of sleep reduces activity in The prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and in The hippocampus (key in memory). The impact is not just neurological. The study of the World Health Organization indicated that working more than 55 hours per week increases by 35% the risk of stroke and in 17% the risk of heart disease. In terms of productivity, an investigation from Stanford University concluded that it falls dramatically After 50 hours a weekand that working 70 hours per week generates almost The same production as 56 hourswhich suggests decreasing yields beyond a certain point. Musk’s obsession. The truth is that it was already known that Musk was a recognized WORLKAHOLIC. In A 2022 interview With investor Ron Baron, he confessed to having lived three years within his factories in Tesla and Spacex, sleeping in sofastents on the roofs and even under his desk, surrounded by metallic dust and the most uncomfortable conditions. No doubt, his labor philosophy of “more hours is equal to more efficiency” has been widely criticizedsince scientific evidence suggests that imposing extreme days does not guarantee better results and, instead, It affects health and the well -being of workers. Govern without sleep. They counted in a VOX medium report that the extreme work rhythm in Doge has already generated serious mistakes In public administration. From multimillionaire mathematical failures to the accidental dissemination of classified information, fatigue seems to be affecting the capacity of the Musk team to make key decisions. The recent dismissal and Hurrying reaction of essential personnel in areas such as nuclear safety and Avian flu response It is a sign that the policy of exhaustion could be having real and dangerous consequences. Plus: Trump administration is implementing Mass dismissals in the IRS In full tax season, which could generate an administrative collapse. In short, these types of measures, promoted by an apparently exhausted team, arouse concerns about the efficacy and stability of the government Under this new hyperproductivity model. The failures of “hacking” the dream. Paradoxically, Musk and other technological leaders have recognized that The dream cannot be replaced. Companies like Eight Sleepthat sold rest capsules From no less than 4,600 dollars to Musk and his team, they reinforce the idea that, although the culture of extreme work remains promoted, they are also looking for more efficient ways to achieve that eight -hour standard. Even figures such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have defended the Importance of rest In productivity. On the other sidewalk, while Musk insists on that exhausting routine, he himself has admitted that his ancient habits caused “brain pain”, in fact, his Erratic behavior in networks Social raises doubts about whether you are really improving your rest. Sleep more, no less. Despite the alleged glamor that some try to grant sleep deprivation, scientific evidence is overwhelming: The rest is indispensable For the optimal functioning of brain and body. Instead of glorifying days of 120 hours per week, the real challenge should be to find ways to maximize productivity without compromising health. One thing seems clearly clear: at the end of the day, not even the brightest and most innovative minds can escape human biology. Musk either.

The first time a ship recorded an eclipse from the moon was in 1967. The second has been today

by

The blood moon is a land of blood from the lunar surface. The early morning of March 14, the Lunar Blue Ghost landizer of Firefly Aerospace He registered a solar eclipse from his unique perspective on the moon. It is the first commercial ship that achieves it. And the second in general, from the NASA Surveyor 3 probe in April 1967. Eclipse lunar, solar eclipse. In a lunar eclipse, the earth stands between the sun and the moon, projecting its shadow on the satellite, which acquires a reddish tone due to the longest wavelengths that are filtered through the atmosphere. Hence it is known as “blood moon.” From the point of view of the moon (the visible face of the moon, to be exact) is a solar eclipse. NASA’s Surveyor Lunar 3 probe was the first in register how the earth is blocking the sun to form a diamond ring, similar to the one we see from here during the total solar eclipses. The first private mission to record it. In addition to Surveyor, Apollo Missions Astronaut The Kaguya Japanese probe in 2009 They have been able to register them from the lunar orbit. But Blue Ghost has been the second ship to document a total solar eclipse from the satellite surface. Similarly, Firefly Aerospace has become the first private company to get this milestone. Not surprisingly, it is the first to have achieved a gentle in vertical, something they have tried Several companies in recent years with little success. Everything got red. The eclipse It started at 5:30 UTC on Friday. At 8:30 UTC, the ground around the ship and the surfaces of the ship itself They had acquired an intense reddish tone. At 9:30 UTC, the Blue Ghost lunar module photographed Your first diamond ring: The silhouette of the earth framed by the brightness of the sun, with a flash crowning it as a piece of goldsmiths. Firefly has been clearly victorious in one week in which another Texas company, Intuitive Machines, has tried to alunize its Nova-C ship. The landing “Athena” fell sideways and could not recharge his batteries, dying within a few hours. Blue Ghost, on the other hand, landed at first and deployed a heat probeamong other NASA experiments.

China became famous for its eternal working days. The solution has been to throw employees at their time

by

The Reduction of the working day It seems to be a path of no return that many countries have proposed to move. Some, Like GreeceThey do not do it with a determined step. Instead, others whose self -denial It seemed immovable, they are surprising the world with day reduction measures. China is one of those countries that, unexpectedly, has proposed to cut its workday. Labor culture 996. While in a large part of the West the eight -hour workday begins to be seen as a vestige of the last century and fights for the reduction of working hours, in China the culture 996 still continues: work from nine in the morning to nine o’clock at night and six days per week. Such and as they tell In ethic, that pace of work is taking Chinese society to the extreme, pulling on the soils The birth rate in a country that for years has sinned just the opposite. Chinese authorities have been trying for years Eliminate the culture of 996 of the workplace, but Without too much success. Dji has seriously proposed. According to The published by SCMP, Since the end of February something very curious is happening in DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer. When the clock marks nine o’clock at night, a squad of human resources managers travels through the brand’s central offices in Shenzhen. Their mission is to make sure that all employees without exception leave their jobs and go home as if it were a fire drill. Instead of evacuating the building for security, employees are “guests” to leave their cubicles to meet a new rule: no one can work beyond their day. The fault is “Neijuan”. No, Neijuan It is not the name of the company’s Human Resources Manager. The term could translate to something as “involution” and, as they explain in SCMP, It refers to the need to reduce excess competition in certain areas of the economy. The measure is imposed as a New economic policy of China in which it is intended to reduce the excess of competence that makes companies in certain sectors such as The technological either Renewable energiesinvest an unnecessary amount of resources without obtaining an improvement in their profitability or in their R&D in return. Therefore, it implies outbound templates without registering a significant advance generating inefficient competition. It is something unpublished in China. Until recently, it was common to see the offices of DJI illuminated until the early hours of the morning with employees who lengthened their days until infinity. Now, the image is very different and has impacted many who have commented on social networks. The Asian media highlighted the publication of a worker surprised by the measure that commented “it was the first time they threw me from the office.” Other technological giants are adding. Although the work culture 996 has the support of prominent names of the Chinese technology industry Like Jack Mamore and more international companies such as Haier or Measure They are adding to the call of the Chinese government of limit the days of its employees. According to sources of SCMPHaier would have ordered all the staff of his headquarters to respect the breaks of two days of the weekend, while Midea has begun to demand that the workers file their departure at 6:20 p.m., instead of 9 pm.

Lip-Bu will assume command at a decisive time for the semiconductor company

by

Lip-bu Tan It will be the new CEO of Intel. The experienced executive, one of the main candidates after the abrupt departure from Pat Gelsingerwill assume the position on March 18. With his appointment, he will relieve David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus, who have led the company interim since December. “Lip-Bu is an exceptional leader whose experience in the technology industry, deep relationships in product and casting ecosystems, and a proven history of value creation for shareholders is exactly what Intel needs in his next CEO,” said Frank D. Yeary, who temporarily led the board of directors while looking for a new CEO. A fervent Gelsinger critic will be new CEO of Intel But the story of so with Intel does not start here. In the past, he was a fierce critic of the management of Gelsinger and the management that the company was taking. The former Cadence Design Systems courses joined the Intel Board of Directors In September 2022 with the objective of promoting the restructuring plan of the semiconductor firm. However, the differences with Gelsinger and other members of the Board soon arise. According to ReutersSo considered that Intel had an oversized template and that the company was losing agility in an increasingly dynamic market. For him, the real problem was not only the size of the company, but its risk aversion, a factor that was leaving it behind the competition. The tensions reached its highest point in October 2023, just when Intel announced the dismissal of more than 10,000 employees In an attempt to reduce costs and improve your efficiency. So, in disagreement with the management of the crisis and the strategic decisions of Gelsinger, he resigned from his position on the Board of Directors. Now he returns to hold the highest position of the company. His appointment not only marks a leadership change, but also presumable turn in Intel’s strategy. So arrives with the mission of redefining the future of the company, making it more competitive and recovering the trust of investors. Intel stands out in its statement How he has a degree in Physics from the Technological University of Nanyang (Singapore), has a Master in Nuclear Engineering from the Massachusetts Technological Institute and an MBA from the University of San Francisco. In 2022, he received the Robert N. Noyce Award, the maximum recognition of the Semiconductor Industry Association.

A recruiter has given the key to what is the perfect time to find a new job: in March

by

In the same way that it is convenient to wait for the right time to request a salarythe job search also has its “sweet point” at a certain moment of the year in which the options of Find a new job They increase. As Beatriz Gómez, a specialist in Human Resources, in a hung video In your Tiktok profileMarch is the more conducive month to find a job due to the specific situation in the internal processes of companies. Choose the perfect moment According to HR expert, the month of March is the key moment for those who wish to find a new job. This is because, after Christmas holidays, companies spend the months of January and February in internal organization processes and Fiscal year closure.
