ORDOBA. Biotechnology and the knowledge economy are the two sectors that in the medium term a specialist “in the future” sees as the ones that should play the most important role in Argentine exports. In the transition, he says, the country will continue to be dynamic due to commodities, but in the medium and long term, “the intersection of vertical disciplines” -such as health, education, security- with technology is defining. Andrés Pallaro, director of the Future Observatory of the 21st Century University, states that, in terms of food, Argentina must join the "revolution" that the sector is experiencing in the world, taking advantage of the potential it has and the companies that already work in that line: organic, gourmet and even frozen. “The world is experiencing a revolution in the ways of producing food. More, better and more accessible, without affecting the environment -he adds- Producing better does not require decreasing. Growth is synonymous with progress and employment. Doing it in an environmentally friendly way is a source of sustainability and evolution.” In dialogue with LA NACION, Pallaro points out that the State must fulfill the role of "entrepreneur" as the Italian economist Mariana Mazzucato calls it. The key, according to this point of view, is to work to achieve co-investments and new types of agreements between the public and private sectors to direct economic growth towards a smart, sustainable and inclusive model. That State implies the end of the eras of the “big and small” State and moves towards institutional designs based on behavioral sciences and strategic public investment that is “possible and desirable”. -In the medium and long term, what will the world demand? -In our observatory we are dedicated to fishing for signals and subjecting them to reflection and what we see is that the intersection of vertical disciplines with technology is advancing. That is, health, education and security with software and artificial intelligence. That is what is boiling; it is the axis of the fifth technological revolution that will be more evolved and dynamic than the fourth. This allows the development of new needs and opportunities for Argentina that would allow it to get out of dependence on commodity exports. -Which sectors in Argentina are the ones that are in that line? -One of the emerging is biotechnology; biology applied to animals, plants and people. We have the systemic conditions; there is a dynamic Argentine Chamber with a project accelerator and with companies that work and grow like Don Mario or Bioceres, as well as many startups. We can take advantage of the abundance of talents we have and grow stronger and stronger. -What does it take for that impact to occur? -Strategies sustained over time. There is a consensus, among sensible people outside the ideological extremes, that this is the key, the crucial ingredient. Two decades must be sustained; if one sees the numbers today they are good, they grow, but they do not manage to move the ammeter. Biotechnology and the knowledge economy are doing well but more is needed. As long as they continue to be propped up, in the transition, the country can continue with commodities. Biotechnology is a concrete case that moves away from extremes; there are public-private strategies; there is an active chamber, newly born companies that export and large ones that invest. It is a sector from which we must learn even more than from the knowledge economy which, at the moment, is concentrated in services that must begin to be transformed more and more into products. What role does education play in this area? -It is the mother of all the explanations that exist in the world of more added value, of more attraction of dollars, of the possibility of getting people out of precarious jobs. What is being done is not enough; a more intensive and measured effort is required. The more people we are able to involve, the better. We do not escape the general rule that there are positions that cannot be covered and are linked to technology, to data analysis. We don't get them to acquire those skills in the short term. There are efforts from all kinds of universities, from technical institutes, but we still haven't managed to convert them into a mass of volume, into a great movement. -What case in the world would you use to graph one of the paths that can be followed? - France. Emanuel Macron was re-elected and there is a lot of controversy, but in his first term - he barely took office - he stated that he aimed to revitalize technological France and achieve 25 unicorns in his management. And he did. The secret is the enterprising State of Mazuccato plus the entrepreneurs who take risks, who dare to develop. The State must be a catalyst for that to happen. It is the opposite of what we hear from new libertarians; a synergistic and joint work of the State with the private sector is required. It implies a paradigm shift of enormous impact that is given by the transformation of the State to serve and leverage the

The tablet from the Asian manufacturer has positioned itself as the best option to consider if you want to buy a device with these characteristics for less than 350 euros. A very complete product that has received very good reviews from the specialized press. And the company is already working on the successor to the Xiaomi Pad 5, which could surprise us by arriving in two versions. Or this is what emerges from the latest information that they have published from MyDrivers, a reference portal in everything related to leaks related to Xiaomi, and which states that the company works on two models: the Xiaomi Pad 6 and the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. Exactly, there are four models (L81, L81A, L82 and L83), although everything indicates that they are the Redmi Tab tablets and the Xiaomi Mi Pad 6, Xiaomi Mi Pad 6 Pro and Mi Pad 6 Pro 5G. Let's see the possible technical characteristics. What we know about the next Xiaomi Pad 6 and Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro The truth is that we hardly have information about the most vitaminized model, beyond the fact that it will have a Qualcomm processor. But we do have information related to the Xiaomi Pad 6 so that we can get an idea of what it can offer. Design of the Xiaomi Pad 5 Design of the Xiaomi Pad 5 Xiaomi To begin with, the next tablet from the Beijing-based giant has passed through the Eurasian Economic Commission (ECC), an essential step to be able to launch the product on the market and which indicates that its presentation is imminent. It should be remembered that the Xiaomi Pad 5 was presented in early August 2021, so everything indicates that its successor will be presented on similar dates. As for the technical characteristics, we know that this model would arrive with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor, so we can assume that the Pro version of the Xiaomi Pad 6 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+, the next flagship processor from the American manufacturer. It is also expected to have an LTPO screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, in addition to a massive 8000 mAh battery with a fast charge of 120W to offer the best user experience. It should be remembered that we are facing a leak, so the information must be taken with tweezers until these data are confirmed, although taking into account the source, we can give enough validity to the possibility that Xiaomi launches a more vitaminized version of its next tablets.

Last week we saw for the first time the first motherboards intended for future AMD Ryzen 7000. It was during Computex and several of the most famous manufacturers in the sector showed their proposals. Well, we finally know the price of motherboards with X670 chipset and its Extreme version. It has been thanks to GIGABYTE that has filtered not only the specifications, but also the price. How much will the upgrade to Zen 4 cost us later this year? There is one thing that is very clear, for those who plan to build a Ryzen 7000-based PC, it will not be easy. The reason behind it by now we all know. It will be the first time in more than five years that AMD will abandon the AM4 socket to adopt the new AM5. So it will be necessary to change the motherboard to be able to use this processor. This being not the only outlay that we will have to make, since AMD's commitment to the new DDR5 memory is total. However, what interests us as the end user is to know how much this update will cost. Well, luckily GIGABYTE has leaked the prices of its X670 and X670E chipset motherboards. What will be the price of motherboards with X670 chipset? At the moment we do not have the models of all manufacturers under the future top-of-the-range chipset from AMD. So we will have to get a rough idea with the GIGABYTE leak. Although since this is a market that is a red ocean where the models of the different manufacturers are not far apart in terms of price. What happens when they have identical benefits. AMD-X670 And what is the price of GIGABYTE X670 motherboards? Well, as you may have imagined, there are various models with different features in terms of connectivity, as well as the number of available ports of each type. However, we can get an idea of the price range in which they are located to get a general idea of what we will have to save to acquire one of these plates for the Ryzen 7000. The most expensive of the motherboards will be the X670E AORUS Xtreme which will cost between 500 and 600 euros. In second place, and in descending order, we have the X670E AORUS Master which will be priced around 400 euros. The same can be said for the Gigabyte X670(E) AERO D which will cost the same price. The only difference between the two? One M.2 slot plus the AORUS, two USB4 ports for the Aero. And to finish we have the X670 AORUS PRO that will be below the others, but above 300 euros.

Chile is Argentina's fourth trading partner behind Brazil, China and the United States and is the country with the largest trade surplus, US$3.47 billion last year and US$376 million in March of this year (last INDEC measurement). It has other significant characteristics, it is the first country with which there is a state-of-the-art trade agreement (it includes aspects such as the environment and gender) and, in addition, it is key to exiting the Pacific (beyond the geographical, it integrates the Treaty Pacific Asia). Despite having less than half of the Argentine po[CENSORED]tion -19.5 million as of 2020- it is a more developed market with more sophisticated consumption in certain areas; it has a GDP per capita in current dollars, US$12,993. As far as its international commercial flow is concerned, it has a surplus balance. China, with a 38.9% share of the total, is the main destination for its exports and also for its imports (27.8%); the second place is for the United States in both cases with 13.2% and 17.8%, respectively, and the third is Japan with 8.7% for exports and Brazil, with 7.3% for imports. Argentina represents only 0.8% of foreign sales and 5.6% of its purchases (fourth place). In the first quarter of this year, the latest data available, Argentina exported US$1.27 billion to that destination, which marks a year-on-year growth of 70%; the favorable balance reaches US$1,067 million, the largest among those registered with the different countries and economic blocs. Trade with Chile was equivalent to 6.6% of exports and 1.1% of total imports. The main exported products are cereals; animal and vegetable fats and oils; mineral fuels and oils; vehicles, tractors and waste from the food industry. It imports copper and its manufactures; fish, crustaceans and molluscs; plastics and their manufactures; fruit and paper and cardboard. For the automotive sector, in April of last year, the scheme that modified the origin regime of the agreement entered into force and the local content went from 60% to 50%, which favors the increase in bilateral trade. In 2021, the export of vehicles grew 136% year-on-year. Rossana Surballes, Undersecretary of Mercosur and International Economic Negotiations of the Foreign Ministry, qualifies Chile as a "very relevant" trade partner. She states that the commercial exchange reflects a relationship that “has been built in a very complete way; It's a strategic relationship." The state-of-the-art agreement closed, she describes, in addition to the classic includes other disciplines such as services, electronic commerce, gender, environment, labor issues. "The focus is on inclusive and sustainable trade, going beyond tariff and trade guidelines and delving into many areas that were already being worked on, such as the productive integration of SMEs in value chains," she points out. . Argentina is an exporter of dairy products to Chile and can expand its participation. Argentina is an exporter of dairy products to Chile and can expand its participation. Regarding the development of regional value chains, she maintains that it is in Argentina's interest to achieve a "balanced prioritization of possible production chains that allows value aggregation" for both parties. There are 19 projects identified in areas such as food, dressings and organic sauces; preserves, meat products, non-metalliferous minerals, personal care products and medical-hospital use, electrical industry products and aluminum products. They all work to promote the search for counterparts. The former Argentine ambassador to Chile, José Octavio Bordón, incorporates the "integral" dimension of the relationship between the two countries and emphasizes that there are events that marked a "very important change, beyond the weaknesses and errors." He mentions the decision, in the administration of Raúl Alfonsín, to overcome border problems in what was "progressing to generate a regional space with great bioceanic projection." Today there are joint investigations into environmental matters and security actions in the Beagle Channel area: "There are still some technical -more than political- border differences, but we have gone from the tension that almost led us to war, to a relationship that includes up to joint military brigades. There are also advances in the energy field that will allow us to deepen the integration”. He agrees with Surballes on how significant it is to work in the organization of production chains. Along these lines, he points out that the Covid-19 pandemic revalued this issue of regional articulation and the possibility of generating new locations for world trade suppliers. The exit to the Pacific markets, with the creation of a "bi-oceanic zone" that serves the Atlantic countries, is another point that he emphasizes. Opportunities for both sides Graciela Forani, manager of the The Chilean-Argentine Chamber of Commerce reviews that between 2018 and 2019 the trade flow between the two countries recovered the growth trend, which was interrupted in 2020 due to the pandemic. In 2021 it rebounded 42% year-on-year. The expectation of the entity is that it continues in this trend; estimates that one of the sectors that will push the most is services. "One of the main characteristics of the Chilean market, compared to the Argentine - he adds -, is the greater simplicity in the tax regime and foreign trade regulations." According to Forani, services, energy and mining are the segments that present the greatest opportunities for Argentines. Although Argentina was traditionally the first destination for Chile's investments abroad, in recent years it has lost ground. In the accumulated between 1990 and December 2020, according to official Chilean numbers, Brazil ranks first with US$37,915 million, followed by Argentina with US$22,512 million. The third place is from Peru with US$20,048 million. For Forani, the main opportunity for Chilean companies entering Argentina is the size of the market. The strength of the Chilean export is copper. The strength of Chilean exports is copper.Ivan Alvarado - X01744 This year there is one trade mission per month from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Chile: food in June and the rest of the year for machinery for the food industry; nanotechnology; oil and energy and technology-based companies and clothing and footwear. The Undersecretary for Trade and Investment Promotion of the Foreign Ministry, Pablo Sívori, explains that in all cases the companies that join go with “agreed agendas” based on the task carried out by the embassies to try to find counterparts. From the next one, 51 firms will participate; 19 dedicated to organic foods -a sample of the type of consumption to which the Chilean market tends-, in addition to other dairy products (Argentina already exports); craft beers; pasta and pet food. Sívori highlights, among the advantages that Chile has as a destination, the lower logistics costs at a time when this item has a strong weight due to the increases triggered by the pandemic. He also highlights the possibilities that are opening up for SMEs, which already have a significant share in exports to that destination: “It is a developed market, more mature than the Argentine market in some segments. The work agendas are federal, they contemplate the regional economies”. Due to what has been done by the Public-Private Council and by the Argentine embassy in Santiago de Chile, the sectors with the most potential for operations are the food industry (including the dairy complex, food preparations, pet food and the blueberry, citrus and herbalist); White line; industrial machinery and equipment; Farm Equipment; vehicles; diagnostic or laboratory reagents; ozone therapy devices, oxygen therapy, resuscitation respiratory devices and other respiratory therapy devices. In the case of services, there are possibilities for computer software and services, especially those related to finance, government and health; digital transformation and industry 4.0; technologies applied to agricultural production (big data, precision agriculture and biotechnology); satellite services and video game development. various experiences Promedon, a medical technology company, began exporting to Chile in the 1990s and, since 1994, has had a subsidiary with 160 workers who are in charge of distributing its own products and other complementary ones. Today in money, the volume of these operations exceeds that of Argentina. It is a “very competitive” market; It is a country with free trade agreements with the whole world and they buy if the products are the best or the cheapest. They have less tax pressure and more predictability”, describes Marcelo Olmedo, head of the firm. Geminus Qhom is dedicated to the manufacture of software five years ago they landed in Chile thinking of that country as a springboard for the rest of the world. Since then they work for the salmon industry. "We designed a tool for the management of salmon production -explains Ricardo Ruival, CEO of the company-. Each supplier offered services separately, we developed a platform that centralizes all the information and, with the same scheme, we advanced to the aquaculture industry”. 60% is standard and the rest is made "tailor-made" for the client. "We do not sell development hours but added value," he adds. The company will participate in the next salmon industry fair in Norway in search of expansion. In 1998 José Guma SA, a manufacturer of toiletries and household hygiene products, made its first shipments of toilet and laundry soaps to Chile. In addition to that, it currently markets toilet soap shavings/ washing, cleaners, softeners and dishwashers and we develop our own brands for supermarket chains and other industries. The Chilean market represents 4% of the turnover and between 18% and 35% of its exports From the firm, Sebastián Guma indicates that Chile has incorporated the use of liquid soap (70% compared to 30% of the bar), a unique characteristic in South America: "We position ourselves very well as regional manufacturers of the leading international brands with our standards of certified quality -he adds-. Argentina's permanent macroeconomic instability prevents it from sustaining a stable commercial policy and conditions over time; Chile's trade agreements position us to compete with the world, mainly with products from Southeast Asia”. Gerardo Seidel, Vice President of Plásticos Dise, recounts the experience of having started by exporting plastic films until now having a subsidiary in alliance with a manufacturer of vacuum food packaging: “It is a developed market, it has grown a lot. The challenge is our competitiveness; In Chile, access to credit is faster and simpler, there is also less tax pressure. These are important differences." The pharmaceutical laboratory Savant Pharm has been operating in Chile for just over a decade, where its business model has changed. At the beginning they produced for a company there and now they market their own brands. The person in charge of Comex, Juan Ignacio Martín, confirms that the "extremely competitive" nature of the market forces them, "permanently, to improve the competitiveness of prices, of products. It is very open, there are income from India and China and the Argentine costs make it difficult”. 16 years ago Helacor -manufacturer of Grido ice cream and frozen food Frizata- entered Chile with the same model that it applies in Argentina, a scheme that "cost" them, according to Gonzalo Santiago, manager of Comex. Ice cream consumption is 8 kilos per person per year and frozen food is the highest in Latin America, making it an important destination for the company. “Four years ago we began to test our model of ice cream parlors in the neighborhoods and not only in the malls as they are used to -reviews Santiago-. In the last season we added 27 franchises and we have already reached 75; sales in kilos grew 70%. The objective is to reach 18 million kilos per year, multiply by ten what is current”.

Welcome

The Amazfit smartwatch family has become one of the best options if you want to buy a cheap and powerful smartwatch. The truth is that its range of wearables boasts a quality-price ratio that is very difficult to beat. And seeing the functions they offer, the truth is that your purchase is a great success. To begin with, in addition to having more than enough features, including all kinds of sensors so you can measure your physical activity with great precision, one of the main benefits of Amazfit smart watches has to do with their great autonomy. Get more out of your Amazfit watch with this trick In addition, they have a simple and intuitive interface, a great capacity for customization thanks to the community behind this family of products creating personalized dials, and some functions that will allow you to get the most out of your watch. Especially if you know the best Amazfit tricks. We have already told you how you can use your smartwatch to unlock your phone, or even to find your mobile if you have lost it at home. Today we are going to show you how you can control the weather from your Amazfit watch. amazfit watch Amazfit Amazfit Watch How to see the weather forecast on an Amazfit smartwatch We have told you before that the Amazfit family of smartwatches are perfect for practicing sports since they have all kinds of sensors with which to monitor every last step you take. But there is nothing worse than planning a trekking route and seeing that it is raining just when you are going to go out. If you want to be proactive, know that you can see the weather forecast directly through your Amazfit smartwatch. In addition, the process you must follow is extremely simple, so we invite you to try this option.

Surely playing on your PS4 you have had certain spin problems in certain games. Normally this is more pronounced in FPS titles, since you can't really aim at the enemy, which is more than annoying. It may be that one of the joysticks on your controller is broken or has problems, but it may also be that you have to calibrate this controller on your PS4, but do you know how it can be done? All brands, without exception, are experiencing calibration problems with their controls for their consoles. No one is safe and in many cases these problems have no solution as such other than changing the complete joystick or even its electronics. But luckily the vast majority is solved just by calibrating said controller and on PS4 it is no different, but it is a somewhat more complex process than we might think. How to calibrate a PS4 controller in just 5 minutes First of all, we disconnect the console from the power supply and leave the controller with battery and without the cable plugged in, since it is necessary so as not to interfere with the process. Now we take the control and we turn it. Next to the left trigger we have a small hole, which will need something pointed and medium long to be pressed. When we have it at hand we will press it for six seconds continuously, which will indicate to the remote that we want to calibrate it from there and individually. The next step is to squeeze and press the two joysticks called L3 and R3 that we normally play with. The press has to be uninterrupted again for 30 seconds, which will activate the next step for calibration, since until now we are only verifying that the controller enters that test mode to later save the data of the two axes for each joystick . Two turns for a complete calibration The next step is quite simple, but you have to do it really well. And it is that you have to turn both joysticks R3 and L3 counterclockwise up to 5 times, that is, you have to make 5 turns counterclockwise. After this, you have to do the same but in a clockwise direction. We insist that you have to do it as precisely as possible, without the joystick moving away from the edges of its natural rotation, since this would add a greater problem of lack of precision, so it is something that we must take our time to get right. , since there is no time limit. ps4-controller-calibrate Once this is done, we leave the controller, connect the console and plug the controller through its cable to it and start playing the game that has given us the most problems. If none of this works, then we definitely have to take the controller to be repaired, where a technician will see if it is possible to change the joystick as such or does it need any more repair and even if it is possible to repair it, since there are not a few controllers of PS4 that have had to be replaced.

In mid-2019, programmer Denis Pushkarev said he was likely to go to jail. He announced it in a thread on the collaborative development platform Github, where since 2014 he maintains Core-JS, a code library that allows other programmers to reuse pre-built builds without having to start from scratch. Pushkarev was then the only active manager and with permissions to maintain the project, which registers more than 20 million downloads a week from users who integrate Core-js in their own works. According to a sentence from the regional court of Altai (Russia), Pushkarev was involved in an accident where two people were run over -one was injured, the other died-, he unsuccessfully tried to claim that the victims were drunk to reduce his responsibility in the facts and was about to serve an 18-month sentence. The sentence gave way to almost a year of silence. Between January and October 2020, Core-js was abandoned. Pushkarev did not appoint other maintainers and just left the repository unupdated until he announced his return with a terse “I'm back”. His is an extreme and particularly bizarre case, but the abandonment of libraries and other open source projects is frequent in the sector. On the one hand, the maintenance and management of the community of collaborators becomes more demanding the more recognition is obtained. "The growing po[CENSORED]rity of a project can be accompanied by an increasing number of contributions that have to be analyzed and increase the workload for those who maintain it," confirms Alexander Serebrenik, a researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands). On the other hand, a lack of resources or an excess of zeal often leaves the enormous responsibility of keeping the project alive in the hands of tiny teams —or one person— who also combine these tasks with their work obligations. This phenomenon creates on platforms such as Github, which in 2020 registered more than 60 million newly created repositories, a kind of elephant graveyard where the bones of what were once hotbeds of ideas appear. At Bitergia they have been measuring the health of these communities and the relationship between those responsible for the project and their collaborators for almost a decade. "One of the factors we analyze is the probability that a project will survive if the main developers have an accident," says Daniel Izquierdo, executive director and co-founder of this company, which collaborates with free software foundations such as Linux, Mozilla or Wikimedia. According to a recent study, 65% of projects with 20 or more developers are active after 165 months. In the case of minor teams, the percentage of survivors drops to 20%. But the silence of those digital wastelands whose records show the years that have passed since someone peeked out to make the last contribution is not the only consequence of abandonment. The more po[CENSORED]r the project has been, the more likely it is that a long list of developers have implemented it in their own works. These, Izquierdo warns, will be exposed to security problems that "could be catastrophic" in the medium term. The researcher and coordinator of the office of free knowledge and culture of the Rey Juan Carlos University, Jesús González-Barahona, explains that these pieces of code remain anchored in the past. "They are not going to adapt to new environments, hardware or OS versions." And they won't add any new features or bug fixes either. What is the alternative? “If this project is very critical for you or you care minimally about free software projects, somehow you should have the initiative to participate and try to solve it”, concludes Izquierdo. Second Chances The GIMP logo open in one of the most recent versions of this image editing program The GIMP logo open in one of the most recent versions of this image editing program LA NACION The abandonment of projects is not new, Peter Mattis and Spencer Kimball, creators of the po[CENSORED]r GIMP drawing tool, already abandoned their creation in the 90s. "We left them in the lurch when we got a job," they explained to EL PAÍS in a interview. But his experience shows that the departure of the original developers need not be a death sentence: more than 25 years later, GIMP is still alive and well thanks to the work of a large and committed group of contributors. According to Serebrenik's research, what motivates these adoptions of orphan initiatives is the desire to prevent the project from being interrupted and to contribute to the continuity of the free software community, from whose contributions they have benefited. The truth is that despite their difficulties, these projects they are specially prepared to cheat death. “The problem is more serious with non-free software. If the manufacturer stops maintaining it, you have nowhere to turn. In the case of free software, if there is enough interest or resources, you can always find people to revive the project: the license allows it”, explains González-Barahona. The possibility that any user obtains the code to use, modify, redistribute or study it means that the history of GIMP is not an isolated case. "Perhaps the best-known example is Firefox, which grew out of a project abandoned by Netscape, the company that was one of the leaders in web browsers in the late 1990s," she adds. What is the protocol for adopting an abandoned project? The Code Shelter platform proposes a system similar to pet shelters where those who want to lend a cable can find initiatives whose managers can't cope or are about to get off the ship. “I would always recommend at least asking, seeing how they are and if you can lend a hand. And if not, on Github it's as cheap as clicking a button and you already have a copy in your account”, comments Izquierdo. Good manners in the management of community contributions are also key to the health of these initiatives. "Rejection may seem unfair to contributors and discourage them from continuing to contribute, not just to the specific project, but to free software in general," Serebrenik warns. In addition, if a transfer of portfolios becomes necessary, the friendliest managers are more likely to find willing heirs willing to pick up the baton.

my opinion is the same as my partner, you have a good start
