His mega -study for trucks is the largest in the world

by

Huawei has presented the first 100 MW recharge station. The space is designed for the recharge of large -tonnage electric trucks and has put a new roof if we talk about power available in the loaders. It is just another example of how the company is becoming a reference in the market for electric mobility in the country. The biggest in the world. There is only one electric vehicle recharge station with 100 MW. It is in China, of course, and Huawei has raised it. The technology company has opened in Beichuan Qiang, a county in the center of the country, the largest load station in the world for available power, according to Carnewschina. The space is designed for electric truck recharge and its location makes all the meaning, far from the big cities. The most important city in the area is Chongqing that has more than 30 million inhabitants but is 400 kilometers away. This gives an idea of ​​the existing complications to join the large Chinese cities through the use of electric vehicles. In data. As for pure and hard data, Huawei station It is summarized in the following: 18 load points with 1.44 MW powers 108 load points at 600 kW A total capacity of 100 MW of power Two storage spaces of 215 kWh It is estimated that they can recharge up to 700 trucks daily Understanding it. To have a clearer what all these numbers mean, the first thing we have to take into account is that In Spainmost of the rapid recharge points are 150 kW. The most advanced are delivering between 350 and 400 kW but are exceptional. Besides, There are barely cars that can recharge more than 250 kW at the moment. Powers such as those commented above are only available for trucks since a battery is needed that is able to assimilate that power. Byd, in China, has 1 MW chargers that can be used for private vehicles but already explained that the true target audience is heavy transport. With a 1 MW load point, a byd car can recharge 400 kilometers in five minutes. In Carnewschina They point out that at that time a truck recovers about 100 kilometers. It is not a problem since it is assumed that in heavy transport longer stops are expected to rest. A reef. With this type of recharges, Huawei shows that he has found a huge business road. Although byd loaders have been the ones who have caused the most expectation, China technology is another of the big companies than He is developing his own loaders And you can look at you from you. In the case of this new loading station, Huawei presumes the integration of photovoltaic energy, which allows it to reduce its environmental impact but, above all, function disconnected from the main network which allows it to mitigate the pressure on it. It ensures a microred in which the type of energy consumed is balancing and renewable is prioritized. And a reference. The company has risen as one of the market references. In addition to these huge load stations and their 1.5 MW power plugs, it also has a good network of 600 kW loaders for passenger vehicles that, as we have seen, are more than enough for current vehicles. The competitive advantage over the rivals is that Huawei presumes having worked on the liquid cooling of the charger so as not to overheat the system and, therefore, that the loading power is reduced. The company assured in the late 2024 that it has already deployed 50,000 of these plugs around the country, distributed throughout 200 cities. And it is not the only open front that the company has in the electric car. Right now, it is offering its technology to sustain infotainment systems or software management in firms as powerful in China as Maextrowith whom you have for sale A luxury sedan of almost five and a half meters long Photo | Huawei In Xataka | While European manufacturers think about what the car of the future will be like, Huawei is already thinking about the post-coche era

Nvidia is the Canary in the mine for the world economy. It depends on whether a recession arrives or not

by

Nvidia will present its results from the second fiscal quarter on Wednesday. The market Wait for income of 46,000 million dollars54% more than a year ago, with benefits per share of $ 1.01, 48% higher. Why is it important. Nvidia is no longer just one more technological company. With almost 8% of the weight of the American index S&P 500 and a market value of 4.3 billion dollars, its results move world bags. Investors hope that Wall Street ranges 0.9% after knowing the figures, more even after types of types of interest of the Federal Reserve. The context. Large technology still invests fortunes in artificial intelligence. Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Google represent 40% of Nvidia’s income. Their investment plans in data centers and graphic processors do not show brake signals. Goal has just launched Your Superintelligence Laboratory. Tesla bets on autonomous cars and humanoid robots. The problem is that the market already discounts perfection. The action quotes in its historical maximums and any disappointment, however small, could trigger a brutal correction. Yes, but. China is still the great unknown. The Chinese government has just recommended to local businesses that Avoid NVIDIA H20 chipspecifically designed for that market. The United States had authorized sales in exchange for keeping 15% of incomebut the commercial war threatens a market valued at 50,000 million dollars. Between the lines. Analysts are still extremely optimistic. Nine investment firms have uploaded their target prices in the last week to an average of $ 194, 9% above Friday’s closure. But the option of options Sample nervousness: investors expect a 6% movement in any direction. Sectorial rotation has already begun. Technology has been the worst stock market sector in August and interest -ranking values ​​have taken off. Small companies rise 5% in the last month. The construction companies, 10%. At stake. If Nvidia disappoints, even if it is minimally, it could trigger a massive sale in technology and confirm bubble fears in artificial intelligence. If you exceed expectations, it will revive the technological increases and remove the ghosts of the recession. As says The strategist Art Hogan: “Nvidia has the potential to be the positive catalyst.” Or, we would add to sink everything.

The highest rocket in the world again crossed the skies after the disaster

by

Starship needs to get out of the bump. After A long streak of explosionsSpacex looks for a clean flight that allane the way to the new rocket generation. Booster 16 and Ship 37 are already stacked on the launch platform for the tenth flight. This will be the Penultimate Mission of Current Design Before moving on to the third generation starship. Date and time of launch. If everything goes as planned, the takeoff will take place this Sunday, August 24, in an afternoon schedule that will allow observing the reentry of the ship over the Indian Ocean in broad daylight. The launch window for the Starship’s tenth flight It opens this Sunday at 18:30 CDT, local time of Starbase, Texas. In other cities: Madrid, Spain (CEST, UTC+2): Monday, August 25 at 01:30 Mexico City, Mexico (CST, UTC – 6): Sunday, August 24 at 5:30 p.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina (Art, UTC-3): Sunday, August 24 at 8:30 p.m. Bogotá, Colombia (COT, UTC-5): Sunday, August 24 at 6:30 p.m. Lima, Peru (Pet, UTC-5): Sunday, August 24 at 6:30 p.m. Santiago, Chile (CLT, UTC-4): Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. Caracas, Venezuela (Vet, UTC-4): Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. How to see the live flight. As usual, Spacex will broadcast the launch Through its website and of Your official account in X. The broadcast will begin approximately 30 minutes before takeoff. For the most enthusiastic, YouTube channels like Nasaspaceflight and Everyday Astronaut They will offer live coverage with their own cameras from the vicinity of Starbase. In Spanish, the coverage of Space border, Mission control, Manuel Mazzanti either Spacexstormamong others. A streak that must end. This tenth attempt comes after a few months complicated for Spacex. The company has lost Four consecutive shipsturning each launch into An invaluable data source to improve its design, but also in a reminder of the complexity involved in building the highest and most powerful rocket in the world. Flight 9, which took place on May 27, ended with the loss of both stages. Booster 14, In his second flightdisintegrated during an experimental landing maneuver, subject to an angle of attack that is too aggressive that its structure did not support. Shortly after, Ship 35 reached the scheduled speed to put out its engines, but suffered a leak in the pressurization system that prevented him from completing his goals and condemned it to turn without control. As if that were not enough, the ship that had to star in this tenth flight, the Ship 36, violently exploded at the test base on June 18 during a fuel load. The culprit, according to Spacex, was a secondary nitrogen tank with structural damage that were overlooked. With this history, the pressure on the new prototypes is maximum. A flight full of experiments. Far from being conservative, Spacex has designed an ambitious mission to continue taking the vehicle to the limit and demonstrating that previous failures are solved. The Super Heavy propeller will not be caught by the tower. Instead, it will go to the Gulf of Mexico for controlled amelution while performing complex tests. Booster 16 will repeat the controlled turn that was already tested on flight 9 to save fuel in the return maneuver, after the separation of stages. But this time, it will intentionally deactivate one of the three central landing engines to test whether a backup engine can take over. The test will end with the propeller making a stationary flight on the ocean using only two engines before falling into the water. The ship 37, meanwhile, has the mission of finally fulfilling the objectives that its predecessors did not achieve. He will try for the first time to open your load gate in space to display eight Starlink satellite models. He will tasta again the redempted of a Raptor engine to perform a controlled orbit outlet. And will fly without some thermal tiles to stress vulnerable areas. In addition, it will test new materials for thermal shield, such as metal tiles (one of them with active refrigeration), and a more aggressive reentry profile. The penultimate test before the redesign. This tenth flight is not one more. It is, together with the eleventh, the last opportunity for Spacex to collect data from the current rocket design before making the jump the Starship 3. This new version, which we have already seen components, promises a deep redesign with larger and more robust fins, and a greater structural capacity. A success on flight 10 would be a fundamental moral and technical impulse for the program, demonstrating that the rapid Iteration of Spacex works and that the path to a totally reusable launch system, although full of explosions, continues to advance. Whatever happens, the show is guaranteed. Image | Spacex In Xataka | Spacex has asked Mexico to stop invading its property and returns the starship pieces that fell into the country

There are turbulence in the world economy and the great Asian millionaires are clear where to put their money: in Bitcoin

by

The wallets of the great Asian heritage are changing, and do so at a dizzying pace. Far from the caution of previous years, the richest families in Asia or ‘Family Office‘They are adopting cryptocurrencies Not as an eccentricity, but as a fundamental pillar of its investments. Promoted by a bull market, a generalized adoption and, above all, by New favorable regulationsAsian money flows to digital assets, marking a before and after in the perception of the sector. A moment of Bitcoin as never seen before. This renewed Asian interest coincides with a sweet moment for the market: Bitcoin has spray records this month. So much that has overcome The $ 124,000 barrier. Of ‘try’ to be ‘essential’. Until recently, the strategy of wealthy Asian investors was to allocate a small portion of their wealth to cryptocurrencies, almost like an anecdote of their balances. Today, The mentality has taken a 180 -degree turn. The Director of Investments of Digital Revo Family Office It indicates that last year these families or ‘Family Officers’ began to tote the terrain of cryptocurrencies. But it has not been until now when they wanted to have a token directly. This change translates into an unprecedented demand. Heritage managers claim to receive a growing number of consultations, cryptocurrency exchanges They see their negotiation volumes shoot and the specialized funds in cryptoactive are booming, as reported by Reuters. New funds of crypts that triumph. A clear example is that of Nextgen Digital Venture. Its founder, Jason Huang, launched A new crypto-action background In Singapore at the end of May and success was immediate. He points out that they raised “100 million dollars in just a few months.” And the result has been very good, since this first fund closed 2024 with a 375% profitability in just two years. Points to the following: Our investors – mainly family and entrepreneurs of the Internet/Fintech – recognize the growing role of digital assets in diversified portfolios. A trend that goes to the future. Precisely, the Swiss Investment Bank UBS Corroborate this trend To Reuters, pointing out that some family officers of great Chinese fortunes plan to increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies to reach about 5% of their portfolios. Regulation is the key piece that drives trust. Specifically, two recent laws have been very significant. The first one is the Hong Kong Stablecoins Lawwhich was approved in May 2025 and establishes a complete regulatory framework. It forces any stablcoins issuer referenced to the Hong Kong dollar to obtain a license from the Monetary Authority of Hong Kong and to meet strict requirements, such as a disbursed share capital of at least 3.2 million dollars. Something that has given stability and security to investors. The US law genius act Signed by Donald Trump in June also has part of responsibility. And it is that it establishes license and supervision requirements for the emitters of Stablecoins, which requires that they are 100% backed by liquid reserves such as effective or treasure bonds and reinforces consumer protection. Something that has also given a lot of confidence to the market. More sophisticated strategies and bitcoin as refuge. Investors are no longer limited to buying and waiting for results. Some managers such as Lighthouse Canton point out that the most advanced family officers They have begun to adopt neutral market strategiessuch as the ‘Basis Trade’ and arbitration. All to improve their yields. In addition, in a context of macroeconomic uncertainty, Bitcoin is consolidating as a “portfolio diversifier.” Giselle Lai, associate director of investments in digital assets at Fidelity International, explains that investors use it more and more to cover the risks, given their low correlation with traditional shares and bonds. The numbers do not lie. Hashkey Exhange, one of the license platforms in Hong Kong, has seen how their number of customers has shot 85% year -on -year. The same happens in South Korea, where the three main exchanges have registered a 17% growth in their total negotiation volumes so far from 2025 compared to the same 2024 period according to Reuters. Behind cryptocurrencies there are many stories. Apart from being a big business, over the last months we have seen failures such as Terrausd collapse or its prominence in The next East Wars. But there are also many surprises, such as The revaluation of 80,000 bitcoins at 17,000,000% or the Lord that He lost to his misfortune a hard drive With great economic value in Bitcoins.

The World Cup to the Comba exists, it is a hilarious thing and for us the question is obvious: what do the breath expect

by

Something that fascinates me is that we have the ability to turn anything into a game And, in turn, in a competition. If there is an Excel World Cupone of Collect garbage and Stone, paper, scissorsof course there is a world championship of jumping. It is a sport that needs great coordination and physical background, and a few days ago celebrated The World Rope World Blash championship in Japan in which the best on the planet have gathered. He is fighting so that the leap to the Comba becomes an Olympic sport, and I confess that seeing some video has managed to think that I am burning calories. Ijru. Are the acronym for International Jump Rope Union And it is the International Federation that organizes and regulates the competitive sport of the jump to the Comba. This is the highest world authority in this sport and is what seeks to expand the jump to the Comba as a high performance sport, promoting diversity, sports spirit, inclusion and those values ​​that make sports a universal language. The IJRU supervises affiliated organizations in more than 60 countries and something curious is that it was founded thanks to the fusion of two organisms that made the “war on their own.” On the one hand, was The International Rope Skipping Federation and on the other the World Jump Rope Federation and, with the aim of unifying rules and professionalizing discipline, reached good terms to become the current federation. Disciplines. Although it is not necessary to explain how it jumps, since it is a game that many have enjoyed at some point, perhaps you have to analyze what the disciplines are. Because in other sports such as football, tennis or Formula 1it is clear who already wins what is played, but with the comma it is different and there are several individual and collective tests: SPEED: His name says everything and consists of making the maximum number of jumps in a certain time that is usually 30 or 60 seconds or three minutes. Double Dutch: Two people turn two strings at the same time while other athletes perform the jumps. Triple under: You have to pass the rope three times under your feet in one jump. Freestyle: It is like synchronized dance, since athletes perform choreographies while jumping and tricks. It is tremendously complicated because not only the technique is judged, but creativity. Team routines: Similar to freestyle, where synchronized jumps, relay, acrobatics and any movement that involves teamwork are combined. Double combo. In addition, there are combinations such as Double Dutch Freestyle in which it is not about taking the maximum number of jumps in this discipline, but is combined with a free dance session. To qualify, athletes compete in national circuits sponsored by the Federation, and the best scores of each country are those that access places for the World Cup. The US, China, France or Japan are from the powers in this sport. 😮. Have you ever been watching a competition and exclaimed that “I’m tired just seeing them”? Well, beware of this video: That is the Double Dutch Speed, but in slow motion loses a lot of grace. Look at this at normal speed: It is not only about the coordination of the Saltadora, but about the rhythm and concentration that the two companions who are moving the ropes must have. But well, there is no easy category. Look at the ‘Single Rope Speed ​​Relay’ of this Chinese athlete in the competition a few weeks ago: These triples: The resistance session: Or this treesyle trees, which can also be played by teams Olympic objective. They are disciplines that would have a hole in some Olympics, but for the moment it is an honor that has not been granted to the jump to the Comba. However, the ijru is moving To be an accepted sport in the Olympic circuit, at least as a exhibition discipline. At the moment, the Olympic Games website itself has a reserved section For this competition, where we can see the finals of the World Cup in Japan held a few weeks ago, and On the Federation website We can see all kinds of rules about disciplines, the responsibility of athletes as behavior models or doping policies. The eSports have not yet achievedwe will see the jump to the rope that He slipped in the Olympic Games 2024 and that could follow the model of the Break Dance or Skate.

Quantum computers will change the world when they don’t make mistakes. This milestone is closer thanks to quantum gravity

by

Some experts believe that all the effort that is being carried out in the field of Quantum computing Not anywhere. One of the members of the scientific community more critical of quantum computers is the Israeli mathematician Gil KalaiProfessor at Yale University. According to this researcher, the increase in the number of states of quantum systems and their complexity will cause them to end up behaving like classical computers, so the superiority of the former will end up evaporating. However, the absence of unanimous support by the scientific community should not tarnish the notable effort and advances that many research groups are doing, some of them in Spanish institutions such as the CSIC and others integrated into the structure of companies that have very bulky resources, such as IBM, Google or Intel, among others. In fact, as expected, the latter defend that the long -awaited error correction will reach quantum computers and will allow them to face a much broader fan of problems than that of current prototypes. Terra Quantum bets on quantum severity to correct errors The main problem facing quantum computers in the field of error correction is noise, understood as the disturbances that can alter the internal state of the cubits and introduce calculation errors. The strategy for which many of the research groups that are involved in the development of quantum computers are opting for monitoring the operations carried out by the cubits to identify real -time errors and correct them. The problem is that from a practical point of view this strategy is very challenging. QMM technology reduces errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty of the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed abstractly on several physical or hardware cubits, so that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. The error correction strategy proposed by the researchers of the Swiss Terra Quantum company is not an alternative to the solutions in which we have just inquired; It is a complement. In fact, as explained in the article they have published in Advanced Quantum Technologiesits QMM technology (Quantum Memory Matrix) Reduce errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors. And, in addition, it reaches 94% fidelity using ten times less cubits than conventional methods. An important note: Terra Quantum’s scientific article has been reviewed by pairs. Terra Quantum has tested its QMM technology in IBM superconductor processors, and works. It only requires adding a quantum circuit that does not alter the architecture of the processor, although it is very ingenious. In fact, its operation is inspired by A principle of quantum gravity which maintains that the space-time continuum can be described as a network of me memory cells. It is a complicated idea, it is true, but the really important thing is that we know that this theoretical concept is the one that has inspired Terra Quantum scientists the design of their quantum circuit of errors suppression. Anyway, this innovation joins the effort that IBM, the MIT and other organizations are making to invite us to tie the future of quantum computers with a very reasonable optimism.

The most powerful console in the world is not from Sony or Microsoft. It is from Nvidia, and costs $ 20 a month

by

The cloud game was the future. But it seems that The future resists arrivingbecause the gamers continue to prefer to go to their consoles and their pcs. And yet GeForce Nowthat has just reinforced the big. For all. To start, the guts. The GeForce Now infrastructure has been reinforced, and now the servers in charge of distributing all these games may Take advantage of the powerful RTX 5080 graphics that will undoubtedly help the fluidity of the experience be as perfect as possible. The goal has always been the same: that you do not notice that you are playing in the cloud. That hardware will of course help you get it. The update occurs two years after the last great improvement of that infrastructure, which then It was filled with the predecessors of those graphicsRTX 4080. Best experience. This hardware improvement will also allow you to enjoy streaming games to resolutions that reach 5K at 120 fps, or at 1080p at 360 fps. Users of Steam Deck Oled They can enjoy cloud game at 90 Hz (before was only 60 Hz). There is A new mode called Cinematic Quality Streaming that according to NVIDIA improves the quality of colors and graphics in general, in addition to supporting the distribution of games to 100 Mbps, when before the maximum was 75 Mbps. More data per second, better graphic quality and fluidity. Or what is the same: best experience. Steam to power. Another of the great novelties is the arrival of the option “Install -to-Play”, which actually returns an old characteristic: to be able to install games without waiting for Nvidia to “homologue” as compatible on its platform. That means we can install old games from our library and then enjoy them in the cloud, but also games that are part of the catalog of Steam Cloud Play. Many more games. According to one of the NVIDIA managers, that will suddenly allow the Geforce Now catalog will be reinforced with “2,352 games” present in Steam. This option also facilitates that future games and demos are included in the Cloud Gaming platform in Nvidia in a simple way: it will suffice that its developers activate that option by distributing them in Steam. But. There is a small disadvantage in this option, it is in the fact that the Install-To-Play games cannot be instantly executed as it happens with the “approved” games. We will have to download them and install them every time we want to enjoy them, unless we pay Nvidia a subscription to enjoy storage in the cloud for those games: three dollars per month for 200 GB, five dollars a month for 500 GB or eight dollars per month for 1 TB. Strategic alliances. To that catalog are added new alliances that further reinforce the options of the platform. Now GeForce Now can “merge” with Discord, and gamers can try new games for free directly from discord serverswithout the need to log in to GeForce Now. Epic Games is part of this agreement, and the result is striking: a user can start playing Fortnite from Discord in just a few seconds and without installing anything. At the moment the service has just taken its first steps, but Nvidia expects more and more studies to offer that possibility for players to have another alternative, especially if they are discord users. Pay $ 20 a month for renting a PC? The truth is that all these developments make Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, but once again what we “rent” is not the ability to play video games, but “a cloud pc” to enjoy them. The service does not include the games, which we will have to buy separately if we had not bought them. It is an important difference with respect to analternatives such as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, that “video game” that does include by default a large catalog of hundreds of titles. A small cost analysis. The cost of owned by a console compared to the use of a service such as GeForce Now allows you to get an idea of whether or not to compensate for an option like this. Consoles like Xbox Series x wave PS5 They are around 600 euros, while their basic online subscription services (Xbox Game Pass Core / PS Plus) are priced at 80 euros per year. Meanwhile, Geforce Now has a fixed cost of 22 euros per month. If we take a five -year period without taking into account the cost of acquiring the games, the cost of those five years would be the following: Consoles: 1,000 euros (approximately) GeForce Now: 1,320 euros Two philosophies and both are good. But of course, we are facing two very different proposals: the consoles offer a consistent and predictable experience, but always dependent on playing where the console is. With Geforce Now we can enjoy an high -end PC experience in all types of devices – our TV, an old PC, a Steam Deck – although we depend on some external factors such as connectivity. Even so, the recurring cost is higher after that period, but as “virtual console”, its validity is clear. Here it should be remembered that GeForce Now It has striking rivals In this segment (Gamepass, Luna), which further enriches the panorama for users. The options are good.

The largest steel producers in the world, exposed in this graphic that shows two totally different leagues

by

On our way to decarbonization, Steel is a problem. For each ton we produce, They emit two of co₂ to the atmosphere, but although We are studying alternatives further sustainableremains indispensable in a world where there are countries wrapped in a Loca Carrera for Megaconstructions. Someone must produce all that steel we need, and as is the case with the Aluminum industrythat of steel has an indisputable own name: China. And it is something that can be seen perfectly in this graph elaborated by Visual Capitalist: The Chinese monster. The data comes from the World Steel Association and reflect an overwhelming reality. If the world produced about 1,884.6 million tons of steel in 2024, more than half were the work of China. The rest of the countries are very, far away and, removing India with the giant Tata Steel Group that benefited from an increase in infrastructure investment in recent months, the rest of the producers are quite aligned. That China leads this sector is not a coincidence. After the Foundation of the Popular Republic in 1949, the State considered that the production of steel was something crucial For industrialization. Domestic demand is gigantic due to the boom of both manufacturing and infrastructure and construction in general and,, although they exportown consumption is very important. USA wants to recover land. That domain is a problem for the rest of the countries. That China produces more steel than the rest of the world together makes us depend on its product (as with the solar panels wave Rare Earth Production). The United States, another historical steel producer, does not want to lose so much land and in recent months it has started movements to recover control of its industry. Us Steel is one of the historic steel producers who was about to be bought by the Japanese giant Nippon Steel. Joe Biden, in one of the last movements of his mandate, decided to block the purchase claiming national security motifs. This decision sent a message, but also fed ghosts from the pasttensing relationships with Japan. Europe out of the photo. In Europe, the bastion of steel is Germany. Its production is among the highest in the world, but we will have to see for how long. As we read in The New York Times, the Airías have experienced a fall of 11.6% during the first half of 2025. In addition, despite the high technology of factories such as Tata Steel in the Netherlands, environmental regulations, the Chinese dumping and tariff hostility are pushing Europe to a situation in which he paints less and less in the photo of the steel worldwide. HE esteem that Spain produced 11.9 million tons in 2024, assuming a 3.7% increase compared to the yearterior, but although some countries have experienced a Alcista trend in its production, demand remains high, the need to reduce emissions and imports from the EU – especially asian steel – increases pressure on internal production. Without limit. And it’s a problem. Now, another interesting element of all this is that, although there is a steel hunger, the main producers produce … too much. According to the OECD, the excess world capacity will reach the 721 million tons in 2027. China herself is Taking measures to stop the blind expansion of your industry. For example, a production control, asking companies to only produce under a firm order or suspend the expansion of steel production capacity, decision made in August last year. They are measures to limit overcapacity and that Your industry does not die of success Due to the low price that steel could reach worldwide, but although it seems a very local measure, taking into account its enormous production, any movement in this sense is something that has an impact on the rest of the world.

The controversial supereyate with which Zuckerberg has turned the world into his playground

by

The 40 crisis is not a myth. Some studies point out that It is the most unhappy age rangeand each one takes it in their own way. The millionaires They also suffer that crisis, but in their own way: Mark Zuckerberg bought A 300 million dollars. And each one with his money does what he wants, but the problem is that he has been circling for nine months, burning two million Diesel litersand just arrived at the famous shipyard in France. And they are raining criticism, of course. Launchpad. A really bought a luxury yacht: He bought two. One is less important, since it is “support” for the principal, baptized as launchpad. It is a yacht of 119 meters in length, more than a football field, by 17 meters wide. It has four engines that grant a speed of 44 km/hy, autonomy is more than 3,000 nautical miles (equivalent to about 5,550 kilometers). It has 13 cabins, capacity for 49 crew people with own cabins and comforts such as a game room, infinite pool, gym, spa and helipad. The maintenance cost is about 30 million dollars annually and, for energy and air conditioning, it uses Solar panels. Echo Friendly Enemy. When Zuckerberg bought the yacht, he did it with the intention of giving him life, of course. These last nine months, ha navigated By Tahiti, Norway, Mallorca, Greece and Malta. In total, about 20,000 kilometers in which it has consumed about two million liters of diesel (it is said soon). In this period, esteem which has issued more than 5,300 tons of CO₂ to the atmosphere. For simplifying: se Calculate That, in an hour at cruise speed, the launchpad produces both CO₂ and if we toured 160,000 kilometers in a standard car. In an hour, it emits around 40 tons of co₂, equivalent to the emissions of 630 cars in the same period of time. Incidents. Of course, this does not go unnoticed by environmentalists, since Zuckerberg’s whim adds to others habitual trips of celebrities and millionaires in private vehicles that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide in a context in which many countries have embarked on a decarbonization process. In fact, it is common in millionaires: boast ecological awareness when their actions tell another story. But criticisms of ‘zuck’ not only come from the greenest, but also for certain acts such as Turn off the AIS transponders When I sailed near Mallorca to avoid being detected (and have more privacy), being a practice that infringes both international and Spanish maritime regulations. And controversies go further. In Norway, he wanted to do heliequí (climbing the top of a mountain by helicopter and descending skiing), but as by environmental measures strict permits are needed and a whim is not a reason for weight, Zuckerberg found an ingenious solution: He would not need permits if the helicopter landed directly on his yacht, without touching ground, while he descended skiing. The ciotat. This has fueled the criticism They point to one disconnection Between the Pro -Meta Meta discourse and the personal practices of its headquarters. Now, we must not forget that the own Goal is building some of the larger data centers on the planetsomething that is not precisely aligned with the decarbonization objectives. As much as it is, and how we read in Jeux Videonow the ostentatious yacht It has arrived to the French shipyard of the Ciotat, on the Costa Azul. It is a shipyard that is no stranger to the luxurious ships of the billionaires, since the great fortunes go to him for his exclusive and discreet service. The KoruJeff Bezos’s yacht has also gone through the Ciotat. The contradiction. Far from being in an anecdote, the arrival of the Launchpad has revived the debate on the impact and privileges of billionaires in the Public, economic and environmental spaceespecially in a European context in which these actions are seen as a growing symbol of the inequality and privileges of a minority. From the ciotat, of course, it has always been defended That this activity maintaining luxury yachts generates direct and indirect jobs. We will see if that is enough to sustain that culture of privilege in full climate challenge and inequality.

Welcome to the first world humanoid robots games

by

Few things like more in summer than to give me a good sports bent with the Olympic Games, but this year It will not be. Well, unless we forget Simone Biles or Faith Kipyegon in favor of other less human names such as Robotics Lumos, which has just taken the silver medal in the group dance category in The first World Humanoid Robots Games which is currently being held in Beijing. If in recent months we had already witnessed The Humanoid Robot Soccer World Cup and A KickBoxing Tournament Also in China, this weekend More than 500 robots will compete in various disciplinessome as classic as athletics or martial arts, and others more innovative and different as medication classification and cleaning. The starting gun was yesterday at 8pm at the National speed skating oval (built for 2022) and as expected from such an event, There was a ceremony at the height where some humanoid robots performed Chinese traditional opera, among other performances. Of classic sports to hotels: the “Olympic” disciplines of the Games As of August 15 and until August 17, these pioneer World Robots Games will take place that, despite having a short duration, have a tight schedule: There will be 487 competitions where 280 teams from 16 countries will face whose robots will be beaten for gold, such as summarize BBC. Among the participating states, China is not missing, but neither others such as the United States, Germany and Japan. As The event organizers explainthe reason for being of this event is Test and perfect the abilities of robotics With something as natural for humanity as sport. Thus, they claim that sport is a way to evaluate the decision making of a robot, its motor skills and its control systems. That a robot achieves gold implies high expectations of adaptation to a real environment such as factories or homes. At the moment, Vinicius and Yamal can breathe calm. World Humanoid Robot Games via ithome “I think that in 10 years or less robots will be at the same level as humans“, has declared a spectator to the French news agency. At the moment human athletes can be calm. In fact, in one of the first competitions that took place this Friday morning, the Five Football match against five, a dozen robots the size of a seven -year -old boy moved quite awkwardly through the field, staying stuck in groups or even turning.

The fastest robot has finished the race with a time of 6: 29.37, still far from the 3: 26.00 of the Male World record. In another athletics test, a robot has collided with a human operator knocking him down without further mishaps than the fall. Touch to go to publication The competition calendar leaves 16 events that include 400 meters track and field, soccer, martial arts, management of industrial materials, tomorrow there will be 23 events throughout the day with disciplines such as height, wrestling, unpacking and packaging of pharmaceutical products and classification of mixed materials in warehouses, stand-up dance or hotels cleaning services. And the 17 will be the closure, again alternating classic sports such as 100 meters fences with the final of the hotel welcome reception service. China is the host of this original event and also the country of reference in the sector, as long as its government has struggled strongly to lead it. In fact, according to the International Robotics Federation a few days ago, Beijing has placed humanoids “In the center of its national strategy“, as The RFI echoes French Also, last March China announced the creation of a fund of a billion yuan (about 128,000 million euros) to support emerging technological companies, which includes AI and Robotics startups. In Xataka | China has an ambitious plan to overcome the West in Technology. And he has already chosen his 18 companies to get it In Xataka | China has gathered more than 150 humanoid robots in Shanghai.
