If you're looking to predict human behavior, there's a pretty obvious rule: Under normal circumstances, a person will always do what's in their best interest. When we refer to society, to the accumulation of behaviors of many individuals, we realize that the influence of social incentives is enormous. For example, if purchasing a home and getting a well-paying job is relatively easy, people tend to start a family. If, on the other hand, people on average live with their parents and still barely make ends meet, will prefer adopt a dog or fall in love with artificial intelligence. As we've…

In The regime, many things are happening at the same time and none of them are good. Through six episodes, the HBO production tells the fall of a dictatorial system that dominates a small country in central Europe. But at the same time, it analyzes the figure that supports it. Chancellor Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) is the core of power in this nameless country. But not thanks to her violence, but to the mix between manipulation, charisma and a delirious ability to be a kind of disturbed collective mother. As if all of the above were not enough, the leader…

SpaceX has managed to make history with the third Starship launch. It is true that it has not been impeccable. The booster failed to ignite the engines during splashdown and the ship was lost during the final phases of re-entry into the atmosphere. In addition, one of the three tests that had to be carried out in orbit was not completed properly. Still, several unique milestones in history have been achieved. And this, of course, has been possible thanks to the improvements that have been implemented in the ship after the first two attempts. Both in April and November 2023…

If I put a MacBook Air M2 next to the new Macbook Air with chip M3 that has just been launched, there is no way to differentiate them. The exterior design is exactly the same. There is no variation in its components, keyboard, size, weight, material, screen quality, ports. Nothing. They are exactly the same. Its only significant change—since there are other minor ones—is inside. It is a trend that we have observed with Apple equipment in recent years. Now that the company is back in control of the chips in its Macs, they are able to iterate and improve…

The Raven, the graphic novel of James O'Barr, is going to have a new film adaptation. Published in 1989, the comics originally served as a kind of atonement for the artist. O'Barr He looked for a way to get over the death of his fiancée at the hands of a drunk driver. His success led to the first film, in 1994, starring Brandon Leethe son of Bruce Lee. The film also triumphed among critics and audiences. But he is mainly remembered because the actor died during filming in a scene in which the character is shot. By mistake, read He…

A few years ago, the general perception of artificial intelligence was completely different. The emergence of ChatGPT suddenly made everyone think about this revolutionary technology. The most obvious implication, as with the calculator and later the personal computer, was that only the most technical and tedious activities would be automated. While creative processes such as painting, film, acting, that is, the things that people enjoy doing, would be safe. Today we know that this will not be the case. Who would have imagined a couple of years ago that even romance would be automated? Most of us thought that the…

It is often said that the third time is the charm and we could consider that on this occasion the saying has been true for SpaceX. Finally, after two partially successful attempts, Elon Musk's company has managed to complete the tests of the Starship ship successfully, without explosions involved. The first attempt was made in April 2023. It was considered a partial success because the launch was achieved. However, it was not possible to overcome the separation phase of Starship from its first phase, Superheavy, so a controlled explosion was carried out. The trajectory is calculated taking this separation into…

Is he or is he not Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), the Kwisatz Haderach expected by the Fremen? Dune: part 2 poses the mystery in the same way that the writer Frank Herbert did. Namely: how much could a leader of superior genetics created by the Bene Gesserit, as the result of a biological accident. And even that everything related to its mere existence is a self-fulfilling prophecy, thanks to the efforts of Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson in the film adaptation). Part of the success of Dune As a saga, it lies in its ability to subvert the so-called 'path of…
