Claude Code is being the big favorite among programmers. So much so that he already signs 4% of everything that is uploaded to GitHub

by

It is worth taking a look at how generative AI It is transforming the daily lives of many programmers. And little by little these tools are conquering the environments of millions of developers. The achievement in this aspect is for Claude CodeAnthropic tool, which already represents 4% of all public commits uploaded to GitHub, according to a report by SemiAnalysis. The media says that, if it maintains its current pace of adoption, it is very possible that it will reach 20% of all daily contributions before the end of 2026. Although there are nuances that should be highlighted. Why is it important. Claude Code is slowly gaining the reputation of being the favorite tool for programming with AI. The tool works radically differently than traditional code wizards. It is not a chatbot integrated into an editor like Cursorbut rather a terminal tool that reads entire code bases, schedules multi-step tasks, and executes them with full access to the developer’s computer. You can start from spreadsheets, entire repositories, or web links, understand context, verify details, and complete complex objectives iteratively. The interesting thing is that, by default, Claude Code includes a co-authorship note if the user has used this tool in their program and uploads it to Github. But the user can also decide not to include that signature if modify the parameters by Claude Code, so that 4% could remain small. In March of last year, a month after its launch in private beta, Claude Code already had the co-authorship of about 15,000 Github commits in a period of 48 hours. Things have ended up escalating quickly. Opinions. The newsletter stands out the comments of some industry professionals regarding the vibe codding. Andrej Karpathy, one of the first to coin the term vibe codding, recognized in a post that he is “starting to lose the ability to write code manually.” Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js, counted directly that “the era of humans writing code is over.” Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, assures that “practically 100% of our code is written by Claude Code + Opus 4.5“. Even Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, has fooled around with vibe codding for some of his personal projects. It should be noted that, despite all the benefits of Claude Code, it is not perfect. Already we pointed out some time ago the words of Kelsey PiperAmerican journalist for The Argument, who explained that 99% of the time using Claude Code is like having a magical, tireless genie, but 1% of the time it’s like yelling at a pet for peeing on the couch. He can and does make mistakes. It also gets stuck. Hence, the expertise of the person who uses it also plays a very important role. Beyond programming. There is an increasingly latent threat with the use of AI tools (well there are a few that accumulate already). And according to account SemiAnalysis, any information work that follows the READ-THINK-WRITE-CHECK pattern can be automated with this technology. The report mentions sectors such as financial services, legal, consulting and data analysis, which add up to billions of workers globally. Anthropic has already taken the next step with coworkreleased a few weeks ago, which is basically Claude Code applied to general office work. According to the company itself, Cowork was developed by four engineers in ten days, mostly with code generated by Claude Code himself. The tool can create spreadsheets from receipts, organize files by content, write reports from scattered notes… And all with access to your computer. The big consultancies and AI. In December, Accenture signed an agreement to train 30,000 professionals on Claude, the largest deployment of Claude Code to date. OpenAI, for its part, Frontier has launched focused on business adoption so as not to lose steam in the field of corporate use of AI, a business that can end up being very lucrative for startups.

A man had access to the Government’s nuclear secrets. Until he uploaded thousands of porn photos to his work computer

by

Using your work computer for personal things is a delicate area that can be reason for dismissal. This worker from the US Department of Energy has discovered it by force after uploading hundreds of thousands of pornographic images on his company computer. What has happened? They tell it in 404Medium. In March 2023, the employee wanted to back up his photo collection. He thought he was uploading the images to his personal hard drive, but it was connected to his work computer and he ended up making the copy where it wasn’t. The problem is that it was not a normal collection of photos, but more than 187,000 pornographic images that he had been collecting over several decades. Although he did not lose his job, his mistake has had consequences and the main one is that he has lost his security clearance. To train AI. The employee defended himself by arguing that this happened during a depressive episode in which he felt “extremely isolated and alone.” One of his distractions at this stage was creating images with AI, specifically “robotic porn.” At first he used his cell phone, but tired of using such a small screen, he thought it was a good idea to upload all his pornographic images to the computer to train the AI. The problem is that he did not upload them to his hard drive, but rather they ended up on the network of a government company. Goodbye accreditation. The employee did not realize his mistake until six months later. It was the time it took his bosses to investigate the origin of that enormous amount of porn photos flooding their servers. The result was that his security clearance was withdrawn. The Department of Energy is the in charge of supervising the US nuclear arsenalso we are talking about access to very sensitive information. The worker appealed to get it back, but after an exhaustive investigation, they decided not to return it. If he had not appealed, the story would not have been made public. My boss spies on me. It is one of the reasons that the man presented in his appeal, which compared the investigation to “the Spanish Inquisition.” What does the law say about this? According to expertsAlthough they let us use it for personal things, we should not expect to have privacy on a company-owned computer. Some companies even pre-install software to measure the time employees work. Control programs. Can they force you to install one of these programs? A few years ago we talked about installing software to control the work of remote employees and Joaquín Muñoz, an expert lawyer in digital law, resolved our doubt: the company cannot force us to install a program of this type if the computer we use to work is ours, but if it belongs to the company they can do so. Of course, they are obliged to report in detail about all the functions of said software.

China has just uploaded one of the keys to the future of its chips. It is a very elegant response to the US

by

At the end of May, the US administration took a new step in its strategy to stop the Chinese semiconductor industry. After verifying that preventing access to its technology had not been enough to stop the country’s progress led by Xi Jinping, he decided Block EDA software exports. This software is essential to automate the design and key processes that allow progress in the manufacture of semiconductors and in the development of new lithographic technologies. China has taken less than two weeks to move and make your progress public. The context. On May 29, the United States notified the three giants of the EDA software industry (Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens) that They had to cease their services to Chinese groups. These three companies control more than 74% of the global market of these tools. In an attempt to isolate China from a fundamental element to advance in the semiconductor career, the Trump administration attacked one of the few flanks that remained to torpedo. The first answer. The reaction of Chinese software manufacturers EDA was immediate. Yang Lianfeng, president of one of the three main national companies in the sector, described the US decision as “The best development opportunity in history”. The Trump administration maneuver, which sought to close a door to China, ended up promoting the actions of national companies and accelerating processes that had been developing for years. Processes that, inevitably, they would culminate in a self -sufficient industry. The next step, upload to github. One of the particularities of EDA software is its closed nature. China has been keeping its advances in this field with zeal but, after the United States movement, it has not taken long to respond. The Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the main scientific institutions of the country, has published in GitHub A document in which he explains his advances with Qimeng. This software uses Chinese language models to automate processes in semiconductor manufacturing. The development team states that it can do in days what a human team would have been for weeks. It is important to emphasize that Qimeng is an academic Open-Source project, without industrial purposes. However, Timming has been perfect. The small mouth. Modesty is a characteristic feature of Chinese philosophy. This was shown by Ren Zhengfei, leader of Huawei, publicly recognizing that His chips are a year behind those of the United States. The Academy itself has adopted a similar position, ensuring that (for the moment) its performance is comparable to the Intel proposals in the 1990s and Arm architectures of the 2010. The documentation also highlights the current challenges in the current design of semiconductors, including limited resources, ecosystem diversity and restrictions on the manufacture of this technology. China has a lot to show. It is quite naive to think that China’s current point in EDA software is just comparable to solutions ten years ago. If an academic and open source project is at this point, that of the Chinese EDA giants will have enough to demonstrate. The country is working in silence to Achieve self -sufficiency In an essential field to lead in semiconductors, and make part of their advances public is a clear message that they are working patiently. The country, comparing its product with the American, shows a deep respect for rival knowledge and wisdom (China has even a character to reflect this, and it is the Zhì 智), while making clear its pragmatism: if they cannot access the tool, they will create it themselves.

Spain has declared the Airbnb war. So hotels have uploaded prices

by

Last week the Ministry of Consumer claimed Airbnb that Block about 66,000 “illegal” ads of tourist apartments spread throughout Spain. The fight against Break of Tourist Floors In our country it continues to give many headaches, but blocking those ads points to a direct consequence already known and feared by tourists. New York is more exclusive. The city that never sleeps He planted face to short -term rentals offered by Airbnb, VRBO or Booking. The goal was to alleviate the abuses and exorbitant prices with which the New Yorkers dealt every time they had to look for residence. Eighteen months later the conclusions of the measures were worrisome and universal: the prices of the floors that were maintained in that catalog of services rose, and what people did when looking for rentals to live (not holidays) was New Jersey end. And the lesson of Barcelona. The city is the only one that has limited tourist floors since 2014. This would allow many of them to return to the traditional rental market and thus the average rental price would fall. As indicated in In the countrya PWC report demolishes those two myths after analyzing what has happened since 2014 to 2023 in that city: The accumulated growth of traditional rentals has been 2.2%, totally insufficient. Much of the homes that were rented via Airbnb have not returned “to the traditional market The rental price has fired 72% in that period More expensive hotels. And those who have benefited from the situation have been hotels. In 2024, the average price per room and night It was 187.8 euros In Barcelona, ​​8% more than in 2023 and 30% more than in 2019. Barcelona is already the third most expensive destination in its hotel offer in Spain only behind Marbella and the Balearic Islands, according to a study by Cushman & Wakefield’s consultant. 12,000 empty homes. The Apartur Association of Tourist Apartments in Barcelona indicates that there are 12,000 empty homes that do not go on the residential rental market. They do not according to them for two reasons: the price limitation, which reduces profitability, and the High Okupation. The solution would be to offer both legal certainty and tax incentives for owners. Otherwise, those responsible for the association say, the situation will continue to be equally problem or more. Madrid points to the same (worrying) destination. The housing problem goes beyond tourist floorsand although the intention of the Ministry of Consumer is good, it is not likely that these more than 65,000 homes will pass to the residential market to relieve the situation. A report From ESADEECPOL reveals how homemade prefer seasonal rentals (between 1 and 12 months) because it does not force signing five -year contracts or limiting prices as in some areas (Caraluña, the Basque CountryNavarra and Asturias). The other consequence: empty houses. Adolfo Meras is the president of Madrid, an association that represents 5,000 homemade housing housing. According to him, “there are many homemade who They leave their empty houses due to the lack of guarantees and because they are not willing to do without their homes during the five years that the Law of Urban Leases marks. “They prefer to have their empty houses to be able to dispose of them occasionally and if they need it, to rent them with the conditions imposed by the law currently. My apartment like bonus. The Mabrian firm has conducted a tourist offer monitoring study, and according to data cited in the country, the photo of the tourist rental is different from the one that We imagined. Tourist floors are not controlled by large funds: large holders (more than 11 homes) represent 2% of total hosts. Individuals (a home), 74.1% and small holders (two to 10), 23.9%. Three out of four hosts, therefore, “use their properties as a route to obtain additional income, while extending the ability to accommodate tourist accommodation in the destinations,” emphasizes Carlos Cendra, partner of Mabrian. Tourism punishment. The limits that have been imposed on Airbnb in the past in cities such as Barcelona or New York, and that gradually leave extending to other citiesthey are not relieving the housing problem because those tourist floors They do not become residential rentals. The direct consequence is the rise in prices in the existing tourist offer, both in Airbnb or Booking and in hotels, something that ends up being a problem for tourism. It can reduce it, which will placate the anger of those who criticize mass tourism, but it does not seem to be causing these cities to solve their housing problem.

Australia has executed 750 Koalas with snipers uploaded to helicopters. Even if it seems, it was for its good

by

The Koalas are one of the most recognizable (and probably beloved) symbols in Australia and in part of their territory, such as New South Wales, Queensland or the Territory of the Australian capital They are considered in danger of extinction. Neither one nor the other has prevented a group of snipers being killing hundreds and hundreds of these marsupials in the BUDJ BIM National Parka wide nature reserve located to the south of the country. They do it from helicopters, with the support of the government and supposedly for “Humanitarian reasons”. The big question is … why? Snipers, helicopters and koalas. A priori are three concepts without too much relationship with each other, but those are the protagonists of the controversy that has shaken in recent days the Victoria statesouth of Australia, where the Budj Bim National Park is located. Local press days ago He started informing that hundreds and hundreds of koalas were sacrificing there. If the news was not surprising (and sad) already won even more impact When it transcended How the killing is carried out: animals are dejected From helicopters with the aid of snipers. All this of course with the PLACET of the Department of Energy, Environment Climate (DEECA), The conservation authority, as confirmed recently The ABC chain. Click on the image to go to Tweet. How many koalas have they dejected? The exact encrypts can dance based on the source that is consulted, but they all agree on something: the campaign is ending hundreds and hundreds of koalas in the region, more than half a thousand. In the middle of the month, as the news progresses, Yahoo News assured that had sacrificed between 600 and 700 marsupials. There are activists who raise However, the total balance of the measure above the 700 copies And in the last hours Europa Press (AP) rounded the figure talking about “Up to 750 koalas”. And what is the reason? Humanitarian reasonsaccording to The authorities allege of Victoria. The sacrifices are part of a precipitated euthanasia campaign in turn, the government insists, for The forest fire that devastated in March around 2,200 hectares of the Budj Bim National Park. The flames would have affected part of the fauna (including the koalas) and also devastated 20% of the Natural Reserve. The result: injured animals, abandoned and have seen how much of the eucalyptus they need to feed. No other options? Although the use of helicopters and snipers can be striking (and unorthodox), the Victoria government assures that the decision was adopted after “exhaustive evaluations” and that the koalas that are being down are “severely affected” by the forest fire. Moreover, Deseca claims that he has not found other alternatives to face the problem beyond hiring professional shooters and uploading them to helicopters. “All other methods considered are not adequate given the impossibility of safely accessing large areas of the affected landscape due to the remote location of the animals, which are often found at the top of the treetops, the extremely rugged land and the safety risks that lead to work in an area affected by fire and with damaged trees,” James Todd explainshead of Deca, to Vox Magazine. Do you all think the same? No. and good proof is that the news about the campaign has unleashed an intense controversy in the state of Victoria, the Australian team and beyond even the country. The reason: the scope of the measure. The Animal Justice Party He has denounced that local authorities “are not making any effort” to verify whether females dejected from the air have, for example, young. AND Alliance for the Koalas It even goes further and denounces that technicians have no way to check from the heights if the specimens they deduct are really in “bad conditions.” “It seems very indiscriminate,” Rolf Schlagloth agreesresearcher at the CQUNIVERSITY Australia specialized in Koalas. “The rescue should always be the first option if possible.” Beyond shots and helicopters. Among the activists and experts, not only has the selective koala slaughter bothered. Throughout the last days, voices have also been raised that they see in what happened in Budj Bim An example More than “the poor management of the species and its habitat” and warn of the effect of eucalyptus felling or the threat of global warming and fires. “We cannot eliminate forest fires completely, but more healthy forests and with greater continuity they can help reduce the risk and severity of the fires. The Koalas habitat must be extensive and be connected, and the management of the blue eucalyptus plantations must take into account the koalas,” SCHLAGLOTH ZANJA In a recent interview with Vox Magazine. Taller slopes. That last nuance is important. In Another article Posted in The conversation By Liz Hicks and Ashleight Best, two law experts at the University of Melbourne, remember that Budj Bim National Park is surrounded by commercial eucalyptus plantations, hectares full of foliage that end up receiving koalas in search of food. The problem is that this availability of the sheet leads to the populations of the marsupial to increase. And once the plantations are talked, those same animals return to the protected park. The result: greater pressure in the area and greater vulnerability to fires such as March. “Animals point out that logging is one of the reasons why Budj Bim had so many koalas,” They add.

It is the best series of ‘Star Wars’, and in the face of its second season, Disney has uploaded its first episodes free of free

by

It is possibly the best that will give us’Star Wars‘In 2025 (and beyond, possibly), so it has all the meaning that Disney is taking care of this premiere to the extreme of promoting it with a few free episodes. Specifically the first three of the initial season of ‘Andor‘, that You can enjoy free on YouTube (Yes, in original version with subtitles only in English). This arrival has coincided with the premiere of the series in Hulu in the United States, something that does not affect us in Europe but demonstrates that Disney knows what is brought between hands. ‘Andor’ is a series acclaimed by criticism and public, and that has been celebrated to recover the little solemn style and with a mixture of genres (Here, a very curious mixture of prison leaks and robbery film) that has characterized the best moments of the franchise since the late seventies. A gift that helps us to refresh the memory with the history of this rebel to her, set about five years before what we saw in ‘Rogue One’, that is, we are in the early days of that rebel alliance that we would see in the first trilogy of Star Wars, with a series of events that will lead to the theft of the plans of the Death Star. Andor is a thief who will end up becoming a spy and, finally, into a key piece to trigger the rebel movement against the empire. Without a doubt, what makes ‘Andor’ one of the key series of ‘Star Wars’ is introduce ourselves to a series of characters with many gray nuances: Neither heroes nor villains, many believe in the rebel movement, others are ready for their own interests, and we will see how their behaviors and ideals evolve realistically. A characteristic that will undoubtedly remain in the expected second (and last) season of the series, which has already made history within the franchise.
