The countdown has begun for the Constitutional Council to deliver the draft of the new Magna Carta and the general mood is pessimism. The Republican Party has imposed its majority – with the support of Chile Vamos –, thus closing the possibility of reaching agreements. The continuous polls that anticipate a failure of the second constitutional attempt, caused Chile Vamos to pick up the gauntlet and begin to operate to build bridges with other political sectors of the center and center-left. For the moment, the negotiations have not borne fruit. That is why different parties hope that, when the Plenary Session sends the proposal to the Expert Commission, the rules can be amended and a text that represents the various political forces can be prepared. The progress of the votes in the Constitutional Council has raised alarms in the political world, because there are fears of a partisan Constitution that will not bring together citizens to be approved on December 17. Inside the former Congress, where the process is carried out, different party leaders have been seen talking with their groups, in an attempt to coordinate the work and, eventually, reach some agreements in the last stage. As the votes – until now – have not recorded broad agreements, the party leaders hope that at the stage in which the draft returns to the Expert Commission, minimum agreements can be reached that make a new social contract viable. However, the road looks complex and rocky, since Republican advisors are not willing to compromise on anything. The main presidential card of the right currently, Evelyn Matthei, told El Mercurio on Sunday that “if things continue like this, naturally I am not going to put my political capital towards the approval of this new Constitution that is being discussed, which in reality is not a Constitution.” This, when her party, the UDI, has voted in line with the Republican Party. Furthermore, that same day the results of the Cadem survey appeared, which showed that 59% of the po[CENSORED]tion would vote for the option "Against" the text and 21% "For." And yesterday the Data influence survey was released, which showed a more drastic figure. As things are going, barely 10% would vote “For”, according to said poll. These events coincide with the activation of the various forces, especially Chile Vamos and Amarillos – with less weight –, to seek agreements and, in the prelude to the return of the constitutional draft to the Expert Commission, it seems like a last opportunity for the different collectivities to amend a Magna Carta that manages to represent the majority of the parties. Voices within the former Congress confirm that in the Expert Commission there is a greater opportunity for dialogue, since the forces are more balanced and, furthermore, it was the same parties that chose the experts to participate in this process. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/09/28/comision-experta-la-ultima-esperanza-de-una-nueva-constitucion/

Mosquitoes love Kim Zarins. The predilection for insects by Zarins, an English professor at Sacramento State University (United States), is so extreme that her 18-year-old son likes her to go outside with her because it serves as a decoy and "he knows it will be around." saved," says Zarins. Now, mosquito magnets like Zarins are helping scientists determine what attracts these thirsty bloodsuckers. Along the way, there is new hope for relief. Beyond being a simple nuisance, mosquitoes can transmit devastating diseases such as Zika, dengue, malaria and West Nile disease, and are responsible for more than a million deaths a year. And although historically they have been more common in tropical climates, mosquitoes carrying pathogenic organisms have expanded their range as the planet warms, including parts of Spain (as recently happened with the tiger mosquito) or the United States. Mosquitoes use various signals to locate their targets. Scent distinguishes people from other animals, and some mosquitoes have evolved to seek out our unique scent. From a distance of up to 60 meters, they follow the columns of carbon dioxide that we exhale with each breath. As they get closer, they smell the odors emanating from our feet, armpits, and skin. At about 15 meters, they begin to see us as dark silhouettes against the light. Finally, pools of heat guide them to the most suitable places to perch, while the taste receptors in their paws help them decide where to bite. (Related: Tiger mosquito: Why is it dangerous and what to do if it bites you?) What mosquitoes like to smell "It's very surprising how good mosquitoes are at detecting us," says Diego Giraldo, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, United States) and co-author of a new study that characterizes the human odor profiles that attract Anopheles gambiae, a African mosquito that transmits malaria. The work demonstrates, for the first time, that mosquitoes can discriminate between multiple people in a large, spacious setting the size of an ice skating rink. Previous investigations used much smaller cameras and pitted one person against another. The stage used in Giraldo's experiment was connected to eight tents by air ducts, which channeled the odors of the occupants of each tent onto a heated black disk located in the experimental space. The infrared cameras captured the movements of the mosquitoes that landed on each disk. Throughout the experiment, mosquitoes were four times more likely to land on the disk associated with the subject who attracted more mosquitoes than the subject who attracted fewer. "This shows that, even in complex situations with multiple odor sources, mosquitoes seem to prefer some people more than others," says Giraldo. Next, the researchers identified the chemicals in each subject's olfactory profile using an instrument capable of separating the gases in the sample into their components. "Human odor, however, is incredibly complex," says Stephanie Rankin-Turner, a chemist at Johns Hopkins University (United States), who also worked on the study. In human odors, "there are a lot of chemical compounds that no one had classified before." To narrow the field, the researchers focused on chemicals known to make up human odor. Their analysis discovered 15 airborne compounds that were present in the odors produced by all subjects. But it was the concentrations of these substances that determined the likelihood of mosquitoes biting them. "If there is a compound that mosquitoes really like and a person releases a lot of it, it can increase its attractiveness to mosquitoes," Rankin-Turner says. https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2023/06/por-que-somos-iman-para-mosquitos-como-evitarlo

The Toyota Corolla Cross is about to be renewed. The SUV, which has been sold in Chile since mid-2021, has extremely po[CENSORED]r hybrid variants in the country, to the point that it is the most successful electrified vehicle on the market. While we wait for more news about what its update will be, the Corolla Cross won a special edition. Of course: not in Chile or Brazil, the country where it is produced for our market, but in the United States. Let's see what this is about. Toyota Corolla Cross Nightshade: Key Features Called Toyota Corolla Cross Nightshade, it is made on the model that the brand offers in the North American country. That is to say, it already has aesthetic differences with respect to the one manufactured and marketed in our region. The special edition has details that give the SUV a certain sportiness: Redesigned 18” gloss black wheels Darkened optics Black door handles and rearview mirror housings Toyota tailgate logo in black Interior with red and black fabric upholstery, with red stitching As for its mechanics, the special edition has a hybrid engine, featuring a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and completed by two electric motors. Working with an e-CVT box, it delivers 200 HP of power, which is sent to all four wheels. The Corolla Cross Nightshade will begin shipping in the United States in the coming weeks. Nothing is known about a possible arrival in South America, but knowing how well these "sports" versions do, it would be a good addition to the range. While we wait for more news, you can learn everything about the Toyota Corolla Cross that is sold in our country in the Autocosmos Catalog. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/09/28/el-toyota-corolla-cross-se-viste-de-negro

River trained this Thursday morning and coach Martín Demichelis had a formal soccer practice in which he did not give too many indications for the Superclásico against Boca on Sunday at La Bombonera. The truth is that the coach mixed teams and only tomorrow could there be a clearer picture, beyond the fact that there is nothing to suggest that he will make many modifications with respect to the team that beat Atlético Tucumán at home a week and a half ago; In principle, there are only two doubts. One of the changes that could occur is in defense, especially on the right side. The one who had been playing there is Santiago Simón, but until now the originally midfielder has not fully adapted to his new position and mainly suffered from the setback. That is why the alternative of Milton Casco returning to that side and Enzo Díaz returning on the left, who had lost his place to the experienced ex-Newell's, is gaining strength. On the other hand, the midfield is where the other variant can occur because Rodrigo Aliendro left behind a rupture of the pectoralis major tendon in his left shoulder that sidelined him for a month and added half an hour of play against Banfield. Because he is a key piece, he could reappear to be Enzo Pérez's spare wheel. In the event that the ex-Colón starts from the start, the candidates to leave the title are Manuel Lanzini, whom he replaced against Taladro, or Nacho Fernández. For the rest, those elected would be the same ones who defeated Arsenal and the Dean in the Monumental. In any case, the coaching staff will finish defining it between this Thursday and Friday. Another option that was considered at the beginning of the week, but began to lose strength in recent days, is the return of Leandro González Pirez, who was one of the starters until before the injury. The defender overcame a metatarsalgia and was only on the bench against Taladro, but Paulo Díaz's companion would continue to be Ramiro Funes Mori. The probable eleven of River vs. Boca for the Superclásico Franco Armani Santiago Simón or Milton Casco, Paulo Díaz, Ramiro Funes Mori and Enzo Díaz; Enzo Pérez; Rodrigo Aliendro or Manuel Lanzini, Nacho Fernández Nicolás de la Cruz, Esequiel Barco; Miguel Borja. https://www.tycsports.com/river-plate/river-equipo-once-superclasico-boca-id538099.html

The works are related to the construction of Metro Line 7. Aguas Andinas highlighted that it will have 80 alternative supply points for the community. This Thursday, the company Aguas Andinas announced the start of works to modify sanitary infrastructure in six communes of Santiago, due to the construction of Line 7 of the Santiago Metro. Under this scenario, a temporary cut of the drinking water supply will be made in six communes of the Metropolitan Region between Friday, October 6 and Sunday, October 8. From the company, they specified that the work will be carried out "on non-working days and prioritizing the hours of lower consumption, seeking to impact citizens and their work to a lesser extent." The Customer Director of Aguas Andinas, Eugenio Rodríguez, explained that the company is “always available to collaborate with other sectors and carry out projects as relevant as this one that provide quality of life and connectivity for the inhabitants of Santiago. These works consider the modification of an aqueduct in our infrastructure to facilitate the continuation of the construction work on Metro line 7 and, to do so, we must work on moving part of our underground network. Along these lines, he assured that the works and their dates "have been agreed upon and planned in advance with the authorities and communicated with due advance notice to the citizens, where an information campaign was also considered, seeking to impact the community to the least possible extent." . Likewise, the environmental services company regretted “the inconveniences that these works may cause.” In that sense, they called on “the families affected by the suspension to take the necessary precautions for the hours in which the service will not be available, always thinking about responsible use of water.” In addition, they highlighted that they will have 80 alternative supply points for the community. When will the supply be cut off? The cut is scheduled for Friday, October 6 and will last from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 8. Which communes will it affect? The works in question will be carried out by the environmental services company, at the request of Metro de Santiago in six communes in the northern and eastern sectors of the capital, which include the perimeter of the sector located between Av. Américo Vespucio streets to the north, Eliodoro Yáñez Avenue to the east; Av. 10 de Julio to the south; and Caupolicán to the west. https://www.latercera.com/nacional/noticia/anuncian-corte-de-agua-para-seis-comunas-de-santiago/WREQFWD4SFEQ5NMDMAKY2NRZBM/

The moment that many were looking forward to has arrived for one of the most po[CENSORED]r multiplayer franchises in the world, if not the most po[CENSORED]r, since it is the one that almost daily takes over the top of the releases with the most players on Steam and the peaks of greatest attendance on specific moments of each day. Of course, at the same time that there was enormous hype, some thought that so much change did not suit CS:GO. You have to think that CS:GO is not only a multiplayer team game but one of the names with one of the most important communities in the world and that enjoys an eSports scene that, if not the first, is fighting for that position of honor with League of Legends. So, why not say it, there was also some fear that the maps and new resources during the game would modify the META of the franchise too much. Everything changes to stay the same That is the premise that Valve has followed in the CS:GO 2 update that you now have available for download. If you are a recurring player of the title, you will have seen how the client you have installed on your PC has updated itself and that there is no trace of the old Counter Strike. Those of Gabe Newell, in the style of what Blizzard did a year ago with Overwatch 2, do not want a double community to coexist with the nostalgic old people refusing to embrace the new things: if you want to play a game, you must do it with the update no matter what. . What's more, the CS:GO page itself has disappeared from Steam and whatever search you do around Counter Strike, the only result you will find is the one for the second part. So if you are not a regular player and you enter the store these days because of the commotion that is being created, you will see that you have no other alternative than to start playing with the updated version. That it is a new client and that it is virtually a second part (as Valve has considered it) does not mean that you have to add it again to your library, since if you downloaded the original version from August 2012 at any time, you will follow it saving between titles that are part of your library. And will CS:GO 2 be free for us? Valve is clear that it no longer has one of those games that must be sold to make it profitable. With 11 years behind him, he has shown that he can generate a lot of money through the purchases of skins for weapons and other objects, in addition to being nourished by an electronic sports panorama that is also a plus for his coffers. So, as in the case of CS:GO, you won't have to spend a euro to play it. In this way, Valve makes the transition from the first CS:GO to the second a matter of updating the client and little else. The rest, the new maps and the new smokes, are very different and much better – even at the level of the gameplay itself – although deep down, in their essence, they do not change anything that we already knew about Counter Strike. More of the same but bigger and better. https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/nuevo-csgo-disponible-steam-precio-juego/

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have discovered a vulnerability that affects all graphics cards. This side channel vulnerability allows a malicious website to deliver private information without user consent. According to the research, this affects all graphics cards on the market, whether they are from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Apple, ARM or Qualcomm. There are many security protocols to prevent the theft of sensitive user information. One of these mechanisms is the same origin policy, which requires complete isolation between the domain and the content. This mechanism, among others, tries to prevent the theft of passwords to access different services. Among the mechanisms used is masking passwords with dots when we enter them. Although, there are times when previews are allowed to ensure that we do not make mistakes. They can get your password "thanks" to the graphics card The first thing you should know is that, to exploit this vulnerability, you must access a malicious website. Within these websites what is done is a reconstruction of the representation of pixels generated by the GPU. In the end, we are writing the password and it is represented by this component and that is how the theft is achieved. We have to highlight that researchers have said that the GPU-zip vulnerability (the name given to it by researchers) is serious, but the threat is low. They have highlighted that graphics card manufacturers must release software patches and make hardware adjustments. This vulnerability exploits data compression on the GPU. This mechanism allows reducing the amount of data stored and its transit. Since compression depends on the data, these are a mathematical representation that "doubles" the original size. Despite this mechanism, a data relationship exists and the initial parameter can be obtained again. Even with compression, initial information can be obtained. We have compression of data from the GPU that is sent to the DRAM or the different system caches. In the end, it is the original data modified so that it takes up less space. Despite this "mani[CENSORED]tion" the bits of the original information can be recovered. Passwords, usernames and other valuable information can be reconstructed pixel by pixel through rendering. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/nvidia-amd-intel-vulnerabilidad-robar-contrasenas/

The Government has until Friday to present next year's Budget Law and the opposition has already focused on who will present said text: the Budget Director, Javiera Martínez. From Chile Vamos they have not yet fully decided whether or not they are going to condition the budget debate on Martínez's continuity in her position; However – under reservation – they admit that she is in the focus of attention, due to the “instilled suspicion” regarding the Agreements case, particularly for having promoted the change in bureaucratic criteria for the allocation of funds in the Regional Governments. Even though there is no direct link with said case, for the opposition, the head of the Dipres will have to clear up the doubts that circulate around her this Friday. Furthermore, they maintain that the support of Minister Marcel, when he described her as “the best Budget director we have ever had,” now weighs on Martínez, and it is the head of the Treasury himself who is risking her political capital. On Friday, the 2024 Budget Law proposed by the Government will enter Congress and the event places the opposition's spotlight on the Budget Director, Javiera Martínez. The engineer, who is one of the founders of the Democratic Revolution, has been one of the flanks that the right has exploited after the outbreak of the Covenants case and the revelation of a more flexible bureaucracy made in 2023. Although many of the cases investigated were prior to this change in criteria, the opposition insists that the presentation of the budget will be key to determining the offensive against Martínez, although – for now – “it is ruled out,” said the general secretary of the UDI. , María José Hoffmann. On Monday morning, at the UDI headquarters, the party leadership, together with a group of parliamentarians, announced that they had hired a team of lawyers to strengthen parliamentary work in terms of oversight of the proposed Law of Budget, “not only in the Government's priorities but also in the execution of spending,” Hoffmann pointed out. And the general secretary of the union revealed that "from the UDI there is distrust, mainly in the Budget Directorate (Dipres), due to the events that we have seen", referring to the multiple cases that are investigated in foundations and Regional Governments. The main concern that exists in the opposition falls on Javiera Martínez and the Budget Law that she presents on Friday. Representative Marlene Pérez, from the UDI bench, stated in the same instance that “it is complex to sit down to discuss a Budget Law with a Budget Director who is being questioned and who was the one who opened the key to the Regional Governments, and that from there all the irregularities that we have known until today started.” This is because Martínez was responsible for making the bureaucracy more flexible in direct transfers to foundations to receive money from Regional Governments. However, this information was already clarified in August by the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel, who explained – in the 'Mesa Central' program on Channel 13 – that these changes “are subsequent to the cases that are being investigated. In other words, one could hardly say that the modifications of the 2023 Budget are responsible for things that happened in 2022.” At that time, Minister Marcel also risked his political capital to support Martínez: “I have known all the Budget directors since the return of democracy, she is probably the best Budget director we have had, due to her knowledge.” , for their dedication and for their honesty. And I want to tell you that that comparison includes all Budget directors, including myself.” https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/09/27/directora-de-presupuestos-en-la-mira/

The blue whale is the largest known animal that lives on Earth. These majestic marine mammals dominate the oceans with their 30 meters in length and up to 180 tons in weight. Your tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant, and your heart as heavy as a car. It is also called the blue whale, sharing a family with other whales such as the fin whale or the northern whale. Blue whales reach these exorbitant dimensions with a diet composed of plankton and krill, an animal similar to a tiny shrimp. At certain times of the year, an adult blue whale consumes about 3.5 tons of krill per day. It is precisely the increase in krill that experts point to as the reason why these seriously endangered cetaceans are once again being seen in Spanish waters. Until an archaeological investigation in Peru in mid-2023 described the bones of the whale Perucetus colossus, scientists agreed that the blue whale was the largest animal that has ever inhabited our planet. According to experts, the new species discovered could weigh between 93 and 370 tons, but the remains found to date are very few so it is still very daring to dethrone the blue whale as the largest animal in history. Both in our waters and at a general level, blue whales and fin whales, both common and northern, are seriously threatened by the effect of climate change, by the lack of food and by heavy fishing exploitation. The subspecies that can be found in the waters of the Canary Islands and the peninsula is the Balaenoptera musculus musculus, similar to the fin whale. Threats to the blue whale "Various conservation problems affect marine life in Galician waters, many of which are related to human activity, such as interaction with fishing (a major cause of mortality), overfishing, aquaculture activities, oil spills , pollution, the effects of noise from maritime transport, military activity and tourism," stated the Spanish Cetacean Society at the last annual congress. To support their conservation, a report published in 2018 studied how, through whale earwax hormones, it can be investigated how human activities, such as whaling or war, have stressed whales for more than a century. century and a half. Furthermore, despite being the largest animal on our planet, humans are not the only ones capable of hunting these aquatic colossi. According to a study published in the journal Marine Mammal Science in January 2022, scientists described three killings of blue whales carried out by orcas; in March and April 2019 and in March 2021. "This is the largest predation event on this planet: the largest possible predator taking out the largest prey," says study co-author Robert Pitman, a marine ecologist at Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute. "We don't have dinosaurs anymore, so for me, as a whale biologist and zoologist, it's amazing." https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/ballena-azul

The Toyota Corolla is a car that needs no introduction. Whether you like cars or not, the language you speak, the country where you live, I can bet that you have at least seen one pass by or have gotten into one, from whatever era. It is the most recognized Japanese car and also the best selling. In 1983, the fifth generation of the model (E80) was presented, which had a lot of variants and body types. Not all of them were sold in all countries but in general we can talk about seven combinations, differentiated by the engines they were equipped with. There was a four-door sedan and a five-door liftback variant, two three- and five-door hatchbacks, a two-door coupe and a three-door liftback version. Of all these models, only the sportiest models retained the rear-wheel drive of the previous generation (E70), such as the AE85 and AE86, both only available in a two-door coupe or three-door "liftback" version. And of both configurations, the most desired was of course the AE86, due to its accessibility, the elasticity of its engine and its noble behavior, not to mention that it had better technical equipment, such as ventilated disc brakes or an optional LSD differential. Homologated in Group N and Group A of the FIA, it was a rally car, track car, drift icon and thanks to video games. Best Motoring videos and of course, the Initial D manga, an absolute legend on a global level. . Toyota is even reproducing original parts for collectors and restorers. Since then, 40 years of history have passed, where the baton left by the AE86 was picked up 30 years later by the Toyota 86 and its brother, the Subaru BRZ. Both models are already in their second generation, so it is logical that the GR86 is the model that commemorates the car from which it was inspired. 40 years later... The first thing is the aesthetics. The brand offers two colors, red and white, with black stripes on the doors, thus imitating the style of the two-tone AE86. In addition, the stripes incorporate a commemorative graphic written in the square font of the original Sprinter Trueno. This is accompanied by a sporty spoiler, black door handles and 18" gray wheels, which are probably an indirect tribute to the famous "Watanabe" that were so po[CENSORED]r on these cars. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/09/26/toyota-celebra-los-40-anos-del-mitico-ae86-con-una-version-conmemorativa-del-gr86

River will go to Bombonera this Sunday for the Superclásico against Boca with the aim of returning to victory away from home after seven games without achieving it. However, for many of the Millonario players it will not be just another game, since there is a long list of historical players who were key in recent years, especially in Marcelo Gallardo's multi-champion team, who could have their last time in this class. of meetings. Among the usual starters, the first from back to front is Franco Armani. The goalkeeper has a contract until December 2024 but at 36 years old it cannot be ruled out that he seeks a change of scenery. His own representative Martín Áraoz recognized an interest from Inter Miami in the past and, although at that time the player paused the offers to focus on River, which was playing key games, he did not rule out that in the future he would look for a way out and that moment could be in December. Even the leadership is already moving in search of a goalkeeper. Similar is the case of Milton Casco, who is 35 years old and has a contract until 2025 but is approaching the end of his career. A while ago his agent assured that he wanted to stay in River "until he gets his legs," but it will depend on a personal decision. At the end of the year, River aims to add a winger on the right and if he wants to continue in the club, he will have to compete for the position, either in that place or on the left, where the undisputed was Enzo Díaz until the last time The former Newell's took the position. The situation of Enzo Pérez, captain and idol who seems to be increasingly outside the club by 2024, is already known. At 37 years old, his contract expires in December and the management made him an offer in April but until now he has not responded. . He always said that his intention is to retire at Deportivo Maipú, the club in which he emerged and that today fights for promotion in the Primera Nacional. If this happens, it is very likely that he will not continue. Even when he was consulted in May of this year at the end of the League Superclásico by TyC Sports, the midfielder himself sowed uncertainty: "It could be." For his part, Nicolás de la Cruz was already on the verge of leaving in the last transfer market and it is likely that in the next one he will be intensively sought after by several clubs abroad. The 26-year-old Uruguayan is linked to the club until 2025 but in each transfer period he was wanted and the Millionaire did not let him go. However, at this point in his career it is very possible that he will try to make the leap either in sports or financially, and he could emigrate at the end of the year. https://www.tycsports.com/river-plate/river-historicos-podrian-jugar-ultimo-superclasico-bombonera-id537932.html

The report contains the recommendations made by the National Institute of Human Rights, which represented the long work hours of the police, the lack of compensation for it and the need to protect those who are part of the criminal prosecution apparatus, as well as your families. Yesterday, the Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved the final report of the Special Investigative Commission that for several months dedicated itself to investigating the situation of organized crime in the so-called northern macrozone, a body that was chaired by Jaime Araya (PPD). ) and that, among its recommendations, it placed a particular emphasis on what has to do with those who make up the criminal prosecution apparatus and the need to improve not only their salaries, but also their working and other conditions. In fact, the report indicates that, due to the increased risk in the work of those who perform these functions, it is necessary that, to retain personnel, there are better policies, especially in relation to “remunerations and housing, health benefits and and improvements in their quality of life”, for which the commission recommends designing a new system for assigning bonuses, which is in relation to the risks. The risks, by the way – as the report points out – can be measured statistically and evidence of them is the homicide rate per 100 thousand inhabitants, which in 2022 was, at the national level, 4.7. In the Province of Santiago this rate was 3.6, but in Arica it reached 7.9 and in Iquique it reached 10.1, figures never before recorded at the national level, but which are still far from the Latin American reality (16.4), although the trend It is incremental. The issue of economic incentives is important, because – as Deputy Araya points out – it was recently possible to raise the age at which a young person can apply for the Carabineros from 20 to 28 years, in order to attract more people, “but it is It is necessary to increase the remuneration, for example, of police officers in training, who receive a monthly salary of 62,500 pesos, an income that is incompatible with the needs of someone who has family responsibilities," he said. In this regard, the parliamentarian added that there are a series of situations that must also be reviewed, such as what happens when a police officer wants to apply to one of the Non-Commissioned Officer Schools in the country (Santiago, Concepción and Antofagasta), but finds himself that, by doing so, it loses various allowances and bonuses that it has to the extent that it is operational on the streets, which in practice becomes a disincentive to improvement. The issue is not minor, given the acts of corruption that have become evident in recent months, especially at the level of what is the first line of the fight against organized crime: the Carabineros non-commissioned officers who are on the streets, in the towns. , in border sectors and in other critical places. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/09/27/crimen-organizado-en-el-norte-recomiendan-subir-sueldos-a-carabineros-y-mejorar-sus-condiciones/

From what I see, you only have 2 days of activity, apart from having certain errors that involve rules that you are missing, I will tell you: In some posts you are missing the news links. You should be careful. I don't know if it will be your problem, but I see it even with people who are here, at least 12 lines per post, be very careful with that. So, I think my decision is "approved, but pending." PS: if you need help with what I told you you can always talk to me good luck bro.

Are video game prices currently high or low? Surely the answer will depend on who we ask that question to: if it is a user it is possible that they will answer us in 99% of the cases that the figures paid on day one are very high, but if we ask a developer , you will think that costs have skyrocketed so much that these amounts can openly be improved. Video games, especially consoles, have always been expensive. Already in the 80s, buying a cartridge for one of the consoles of the time had a very high price that could reach 8,000 (€48), 9,000 (€54) and even 10,000 pesetas (€60) in extreme cases. Something that has been maintained over time until today, where to buy a new PS5 or Xbox Series X|S we have to pay – for a standard edition – almost €80. Costs have skyrocketed It is true that this price range seems to have remained sustained over time and that those 10,000 pesetas = 60 euros have been an equivalence table for many decades. However, the production costs of a game have skyrocketed, multiplying by 100. So the perspective that companies have does not exactly coincide with the vision that gamers have of the market. And one of those responsible – from a company as important as Capcom – has gone to the media to, precisely, give voice to those in the industry who believe that video game prices should be increased more, to be more aligned with the effort. What it means to develop a quality product. Now, would the user's pocket be prepared to withstand an increase that places the lowest prices at 100 euros? Capcom, in favor of raising prices It was on the occasion of the recently closed Tokyo Game Show that Capcom's executive and operations director, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, declared to the media that "I think the prices of video games are too low. Development costs are about 100 times higher than in the Famicom years, but software prices haven't risen as much. It is also necessary to increase salaries. Considering the fact that wages are increasing in the industry as a whole, I believe that increasing unit prices is a healthy option for business. That being the case, the important thing about these statements is that they show the buzz that is loose in the corridors of the industry, where key companies are surely putting pressure on the owners of the systems – PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox – to strongly pull the prices from their digital stores, marking the new sections in which the standard editions of any new product should move. If you remember, with the arrival of Ps5 and Xbox Series So if no one remedies it, the same for the next generation we find ourselves with a new rise... what do you think? https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/precios-juegos-deben-subir/

We have seen in the past how a few NVIDIA graphics cards have caught fire due to the power cable. The new 12VHPWR connector, which is a solution for high consumption, seems to have been not very well developed. NVIDIA, without saying anything, would have updated the specifications of the 12VHPWR connector which makes it noticeably more secure. The problem with modern graphics cards is high consumption. There are many models that require three 8-pin PCIe power connectors. This connector is many years old and appears insufficient for current needs. Not only does this proposal exist, which is already used, a connector has also recently appeared directly on the motherboard. The alternative is not completely convincing, because it would increase the wear of the motherboard itself. Several current options that, in no case, convince. Fixed the new power connector for the graphics As we have mentioned, the new 12VHPWR power connector developed by NVIDIA has not turned out well. There have been a few RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 that have been burned due to deficiencies in the connector. Apparently, the problem is that it would not finish making contact correctly. HardwareBusters and power cable manufacturer Linwell have recently published a security analysis. According to their latest tests, these new power connectors are completely safe. Now, even if it is not perfectly connected, we will not have problems. PCI-SIG, which regulates this standard and others, released new specifications in July. A rushed update after dozens of RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 suffered power connector issues. NVIDIA, in a display of genius, said that the problem was with the users, who did not connect the cables correctly. Many indicated that the connectors were not well manufactured. The HardwareBusters test uses cables from Linwell, the manufacturer of power cables for ASUS. They have tested the cable for 15 minutes delivering about 55 amps. The temperature of the connector has been verified and is around 45-46 ºC throughout the test. To have all the information, they have bent the cable at a 90º angle and connected them incorrectly, imitating the conditions that, theoretically, damaged the NVIDIA RTX 4090. Under these conditions, the temperature ranges between 40-41 ºC, insufficient for burn or melt. According to HardwareBusters, the new pins are more conductive than the previous ones. These new pins have less resistance to the passage of electricity, even when there is high consumption. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/conector-alimentacion-graficas-nvidia-12vhpwr/

Senator Ricardo Lagos Weber (PPD) awaits the special session of the mixed commission that will receive the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel, who will present the parameters that were taken to prepare the 2024 Budget Law project, which will be presented this week. As such, the "most important project of each year", according to the parliamentarian, awaits a serious debate between the ruling party and the opposition, and that it is not used as a political cock, but rather that the citizens are thought about. Key week for the Government of President Gabriel Boric, since in the coming days it will formally present the Budget bill for the year 2024, which will be focused on economic reactivation and security. Although there is nothing official yet, some things are clear: the axes, those that have "to do with (economic) reactivation, with social issues," according to the Government spokesperson, Camila Vallejo; and the position of the opposition. Will they be in favor of the project or will they have objections that will delay its discussion? This will be resolved no later than September 30, when the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel, will speak on the matter before the mixed commission. In that instance will be Senator Ricardo Lagos Weber (PPD), member of the Finance Commission of the Upper House, who in conversation with El Mostrador ruled out that the Executive would allow itself to be carried away by pressure from the opposition to install different topics on the agenda. Regarding the Budget Law, Lagos Weber assured that it is the “most important project of each year, since it allows the functioning of the various public departments and the execution of the different government programs. Therefore, the discussion that occurs must be very serious and based on concrete data and information. This budget must be adjusted to the reality and fiscal responsibility of our country and, in that case, the report on the State of the Public Treasury will be crucial, in which the Government will inform us about the assumptions with which this budget was prepared (dollar , inflation, copper price projection, employment, external debt, international situation and other income, among other elements). The issues of transparency in the use of public resources must be part of the discussion of this law,” said the senator. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/09/26/senador-lagos-weber-espero-que-no-se-use-el-presupuesto-para-tratar-de-pegarle-al-gobierno/
