has shown a secret project ahead of time

by

A few days ago, Apple published in his research blog A video showing Elecnt, an experimental robot-lamina, thus breaking its traditional policy of absolute secrecy on developing products. Why is it important. It is the first time in the recent history that Apple publicly reveals a project before its commercial launch. This change speaks for itself and suggests a new strategy of the company in the race for AI and domestic robotics: a somewhat more public and open. Not without reasons. Between bambalins. The robot shown is an articulated lamp, speaker and integrated projector that responds to gestures and voice commands, reminds a lot of the famous pixar lamp. The device makes expressive movements that emulate human emotions: It moves “curious” when exploring its surroundings. Simulates sadness crouching his head when he receives a “no.” Dance when music sounds. Adjust your position to better illuminate user work. And above all, not only moves, but does it in human, emotional form. In perspective. This movement comes after Bloomberg will reveal that Apple is developing domestic robots With an estimated price of $ 1,000 by 2026-2027, thus entering direct competition with Amazon and Google in the market for intelligent domestic attendees. He also anticipated a somewhat early arrival of domestic devices whose screen would be located on an articulated and motorized arm that “follows” the user in the room. Already common technologies, such as Center Stage or Cented Framego right in that direction. What is happening. Apple seems to be testing the public’s reaction to more “human” and expressive robotic interfaces, moving away from minimalism that has characterized its products in the last decade. On the other hand, this opening and the fact that it has been shown in your blog about Machine Learning They leave another possibility open: that Apple is looking to position themselves in the AI ​​and robotics market to attract talent. A way to proclaim the world that she also has plans in those fields. Deepen. The academic publication that accompanies the video explains that users interact more and better with robots that show expressiveness than with those purely functional, especially in social tasks. And there it seems to be a clear proposal: towards the expressiveness of the robot and not only to cold and functional movements.

It is the first time that happens in Spain

The strike they propose through the CGT union The workers of Ubisoft Barcelona, ​​the only headquarters in Spain of the French multinational plans to begin next week, as of February 13. It is not the first labor achievement that these workers achieve, which They syndicated last summer through the video game union coordinator And, in November, they sued Ubisoft for changing what was agreed with respect to Teleworking policy. The date is not accidental: it is the same in which different companies in the sector will stop In France, organized by the Syndescat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV), French Industry Union. And although the conflict of workers with the company’s decision to reduce teleworking is the basis of the strike (a 33% reduction, after five years with 60% of the days of the month remotely), as a background is The tremendous crisis that the sector is going through. This crisis has caused layoffs for months, and in Ubisoft, according to CGT, About 500 jobs have been taken ahead. In Spain, the crisis He has hit hard to studies such as Novarama, Smilegate or Tequila Works. That is why the decision of the Ubisoft Barcelona team is especially relevant, which thus becomes The first study that carries out a strike within the industry of the country. The delicate situation that the industry is going through in Spain has led to the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, support workers’ decision from social networks. Ubisoft Barcelona has about one hundred and ninety employees and has collaborated in the company’s games such as ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege’, ‘Watch Dogs’ and some deliveries of ‘Assassin’s Creed’. They could currently be working on ‘Beyond Good and Evil 2’. Header | Ubisoft In Xataka | The new delay of ‘Assassin’s Creed: Shadows’ points to Ubisoft is for sale.

Putin has ordered to launch a Russian version of Eurovision. The last time the nation voted on lighting the light of the living room

by

In geopolitics, very few things are left to chance, much less if what it is about is to extol the national values. Let’s put as an example Europe and “your” Eurovisionthat strange mixture of cultural exaltation of the peoples of the continent through music, a formula Martian that continues to awaken passions and quite the opposite for decades. In fact, even Russia has signed up for the formula. It is called interview, and in reality its history is older. Relive Russian music. As we said, Vladimir Putin has ordered the return of the Musical Interview contestthe ancient Soviet response to Eurovision, After the exclusion of the nation of the European contest in 2022 Due to the invasion of Ukraine. The event, which will apparently will be held in Moscow this fall, seeks to promote cultural and humanitarian cooperation among the allied countries of Russia, with the participation of nations such as Brazil, China, India and Cuba. The origin of interview. Released in 1977 in the middle of the Cold War, Interview It developed as A platform to promote cultural unity within the communist bloc and compete with the popularity that Eurovision already had then. It was also sought to show aval after Stalin’s death. However, if the event is remembered for something, it was for an unusual event. A peculiar vote. The lack of phones in Soviet homes forced The implementation of an unprecedented voting method: The spectators had to light the light of their house if they liked a song, or remain dark if not, allowing the electric company to register the consumption peaks and determine the winner. The success of the program resulted in surreal situations, with much of the nation in the dark at times, or totally illuminated. During its four editions, The contest managed to attract non -European countries like Cuba and Mongolia (or Finland, who was the only country he can say with “pride” that he has participated in the fever Kitsch In both blocks), standing out as a propaganda event that sought to project an image of diversity within the socialist block. End to the first stage of interview. The sunset came as the Soviet Union began to weaken at the beginning of the 80s. The contest was canceled in 1981 And since 1984 it would be Polish television TVP that resumed the organization of the festival With the old name of Sopot. In 2009, Putin proposed to restart interviewthis time between Russia, China and the countries of Central Asia, mostly members of the Shanghai cooperation organization, although it did not crystallize. Eurovision and rupture with Russia. From his first participation in Eurovision in 1994, Russia became one of the most competitive nations of the contest, although achieving its only victory in 2008 with Dima Bilan. However, Kremlin’s rejection of the evolution of the festival, where messages of diversity and visibility LGBTQ+ have won prominence, led to great tensions. Conchita Wursst’s victory in 2014 marked a breakdown: while Europe celebrated its inclusion message, In Russia the reaction was outragedwith Putin and his allies condemning the “moral degeneration” of the contest. As we said, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 sealed the definitive exclusion of Russia, which has now promoted the search for its own alternative. The “new” interview. The Guardian told this week That unlike the current Eurovision, which celebrates diversity and inclusion, this “remake” interview will adopt a conservative approach. Planning documents have revealed that Artists must respect “traditional spiritual and family values” and avoid any political content or “humiliate the honor and dignity of society.” In fact, Russian officials have affirmed that the contest will serve to promote “real music”, as opposed to what they consider “false” Western influences. International support and doubts. Apparently, Putin has discussed the initiative with Xi Jinping, receiving the support of Chinawhich suggests that the program could become an emblematic event for the geopolitical alliances of Russia. That said, doubts persist about its success, since Moscow has failed in previous initiatives to replace Western events, Like friendship gameswhich sought to rival the Olympic Games. In a world where entertainment is a weapon of mass influence, Putin’s commitment to a festival with its own seal is a declaration of intentions: Russia not only wants to challenge the West in the military and geopolitical field, but also in the cultural. That Eurovision is prepared. Image | Flowcomm, Serge Serebro In Xataka | Film rooms are becoming “show rooms” of all kinds.

MIT has measured for the first time the geometry of electrons in the quantum world

by

The paths of quantum physics are inscrutable. In my opinion this appointment of Richard FeynmanNobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to quantum electrodynamics and one of the most admired scientists of the twentieth century, condenses very well The complexity of this discipline: “If you think you understand quantum physics, you don’t really understand quantum physics.” Quantum mechanics study the laws that govern The world of the very smallof the particles, as well as the interactions to which the atomic and subatomic structures are exposed. Most of these rules are radically different from the laws we have become familiar with in the world in which we live. In the macroscopic world. Many physicists have spent the last century trying to understand how known quantum phenomena work, and also striving to identify unknown quantum rules. The problem is that working with the extremely small, with the particles, is very difficult. However, this does not mean that they are not successful. He Mit (Massachusetts Technological Institute) has just been a bit very important. Physicists now better understand the quantum properties of the materials A group of MIT researchers has managed to measure accurately at the quantum level the geometry of electrons in solid materials. Expressed in this way it does not seem much, but it is a very relevant discovery. Until now, physicists had managed to measure the energy and speed acquired by these elementary particles in crystalline materials, but not their geometry at the quantum level. According to Riccardo CominProfessor of Physics at the MIT and leader of this research, “this discovery allows us to understand and manipulate the quantum properties of the materials.” Quantum geometry allows physicists to determine the geometric characteristics of the wave function Before moving forward we are interested in briefly investigating the concept of ‘quantum geometry’ to be able to understand with some precision what we are talking about. Its purpose is to describe the structure of a quantum system such as the forming, for example, by The interaction of electrons In a solid material. In practice this knowledge serves to elaborate a map that describes the probability of finding an electron in a given position. Rigorously this “map” is known as wave function. However, this is not all. Quantum geometry also allows physicists to determine the geometric characteristics of the wave function. This simply means that with this information you can know how precisely the electrons behave in a material and to what extent their properties condition. Quantum geometry helps scientists, in short, to predict the behavior of materials and design new elements or combinations of elements that can be used in aeronautics, Quantum computing or robotics, among many other disciplines. Riccardo Comin assures that “in essence we have done is to develop a plan to obtain completely new information (about the materials) that until now could not be collected.” And Mingu Kang, another of the physicists who have signed the article published in Nature Physics, duck That “this knowledge It can be applied to any type of quantum material“. The technique that these scientists have used to develop their strategy is known as photo emission spectroscopy resolved at an angle. In broad strokes it is an experimental procedure that serves to study the electronic structure of materials in a thorough way and know their fundamental properties.

For the first time in decades, the United States has just approved a new analgesic does not opioid

by

Analgesics usually appear among the most consumed drugs in Spain and other countries in the world. These medications aimed at relieving pain also have a somewhat darker side if we look at countries like the United States, plunged into an entire epidemic of opioid addiction. Good of the FDA. Now, the US agency in charge of regulating drugs in the country, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), announced yesterday the approval of A new drug In the country. It is an analgesic not opioid, the first to reach the US in decades. We still have information about its hypothetical arrival in Europe. The drug is focused on the treatment of pain between moderate and severe in adult patients, according to explained in a press release the agency responsible for its approval. A curious detail indicated by the agency is that those who undergo this treatment must avoid grapefruit, something relatively common With certain treatments. “Approval (…) is an important achievement in public health in acute pain management,” indicated in the same note Jacqueline Corrigan-Curay, Director of the Center for the Evaluation and Research of Medicines of the FDA. “A new therapeutic class of non -opioid analgesics for acute pain offers an opportunity to mitigate certain risks associated with the use of opioids (…) and provides patients with another option.” Suzetrigine This is suzetrigine (Suzetrigine), which will be marketed in 50 mg pills for oral administration under the name Journavx. The new drug has been developed by the company Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It is administered in several doses: an initial of 100 mg and successive doses of 50 mg every 12 hours, dosage calculated through the clinical trials that gave rise to their approval. Essays that also indicated that, even though an effective compound, the new analgesic has a moderate pain reduction effect. “It is not a mate in effectiveness,” explained in statements collected by AP Michael Schuh, from the Mayo Clinic, who was not involved in the development of the drug. “But it is a mate in the fact that it is a very different route and mechanism of action. That’s why I think it shows a great promise. ” How do you know where it hurts? Suzetrigine works in our body focusing on sodium channels which exercise as a way in the pain signaling system of the peripheral nervous system. This is a different route from that used by other analgesics such as opioids, which act in the area of ​​the brain that processes pain. The new drug hinders the arrival of the signal to the brain. More than a quarter of a century later. According to Explain the US chain CNNthis is the first analgesic approved since 1998, the year in which the agency approved Celebrex (Celecoxib), an anti-inflammatory non-steroid inhibitor of the COX-2, an enzyme responsible for accelerating the formation of substances that cause in our body inflammation and pain. Investor interest. Waiting for stock markets to open in the US, everything seems to indicate that approval will imply the recovery of the company’s market value In December last year After a bad provisional results of closing of the year. The stock market contribution of the company was gradually recovering throughout January and the announcement could confirm the “return to normal” in the figures of the company on the stock market. An epidemic. In the US, analgesics are the type of drug More prescribed in hospitals And among them it is the opioids that represent almost half of the pain recipes. The epidemic is a consequence of a multitude of factors and has as the protagonist the fentanil, a synthetic opioid approved for pharmacological use but whose use as recreational drugs ravages in North America. By using different mechanisms that opioids and not generating sensations of euphoria, excitement or similar, experts believe that it will not generate dependence or addiction. This could help reduce the impact of the crisis if we take into account that the dependence on opioids in numerous cases began with its pharmacological and non -recreational use.

Openai brings to the EU the ‘Live Camera’ mode to see the world in real time

by

“I see that you wear a hoodie.” This is a fragment of conversation that Chatgpt And an OpenAI employee maintained just over eight months ago. The company of artificial intelligence (AI) led by Sam Altman presented his new model GPT-4O And he showed us how he could help improve his famous chatbot. At some point, Chatgpt could use the camera of our device to see the surrounding environment and, consequently, offer us a deeper experience. Something like what we saw in the movie ‘Her’, saving the distances. This mode landed first in the United Statesand now it is deploying in the European Union. Hello, chatgpt. What do you see? The novelty, known as’Live Camera‘It is a complement to the advanced voice of Chatgpt, a very promising combination of technologies. In another of the demonstrations shared by the company We have seen the chatbot knowing a puppy named Bowser or helping to learn Spanish to some users. We are facing a tool that can also be very useful for people living with some blindness or visual disability. Since the way of vision You can identify objectsyou can describe in natural language what is in front of the camera. The underlying technology, GPT-4O, also promotes the app Be My eyes. Chatgpt’s real -time vision vision It should be noted that the novelty that is being deployed today allows us to share with chatgpt what is on our screen. So the model could help us solve, for example, mathematical problemsas we have seen In other videos shared by OpenAI last year during the initial announcement of the tool. The activation icon and the welcome screen of the Live Camera mode Well, now that we know everything we could do with the latest of Chatgpt the question is how we can start using it. In the first place, we will have to keep in mind that it is a payment feature, that is, it is available for Chatgpt Plus users ($ 20 per month) and Chatgpt Pro (200 dollars per month). Theodore falls in love with Samantha in ‘Her’, a movie released in 2014 If we meet this requirement, we will only have to make sure to have the updated application. We open the application and click on the lower right corner button to activate the advanced voice mode. We will meet the camera button Below the left, an element that we must press to begin the action. Chatgpt will remind us that it is an option that is in the beta phase and the system will possibly ask us permission to access the camera. If we agree, we accept and begin to interact with this most advanced version of the chatbot. To share the screen in real time, click on the three points and then the corresponding option. It is important to keep in mind that paying for Chatgpt Plus does not provide unlimited access to these functions. So we will have to adapt to whats Use limits newspapers established by OpenAI or, in case our budget allows it, pay $ 200 per month for Chatgpt Pro to use these models without limitations.

“You should take your time”: Francisco Lindor on the return of Pete Alonso to the Mets

by

There is less than two months left for the start of the regular season of the big leagues and so far Pete Alonso and the New York Mets still do not reach an agreement so that the initialist returns to the New York team for 2025 from the free agency. Alonso and the Mets seem to go in different directions. And the player rejected in 2023 an extension for seven years and $ 158 millionafter trying a few weeks in the free agency and not reaching any port, he returned to the conversations with the Queens team. At that point Alonso’s agent was the one offered the METS to give the player a contract for $ 90 million and three seasons. But the team declined and offered $ 70 million for the same amount of years; proposal that was also rejected by the player. Pete Alonso and the Mets continue to negotiate an agreement.Credit: AP At this point the negotiations between the Mets and Alonso They seem to be increasingly moving. Recently in an interview for SNY, one of the team’s faces was asked, Francisco Lindor, about the situation with his partner. Lindor explained that the player should be patient to make the best decision. “I think your time should take. I think I should make the best decision to yourself and not feel hurried, and I’m sure it will be ”explained the Campocorto de los Mets. Lindor and Alonso share costumes in New York for four seasons. At that time the Puerto Rican has taken the baton as a team captainso their words have weight in the players and hopes to help make Queens to the first base. Alonso had a good 2024, although something low compared to previous seasonsin total the initialist connected 34 home runs, 88 driven and 146 hits for an average .240.
