Es fascinante que se utilice el argumento de que llevamos 50 años advirtiendo de la insostenibilidad de las pensiones como prueba de que los economistas somos unos agoreros.
Lo que se omite es que llevamos casi 50 años reformando el sistema precisamente para corregir sus desequilibrios.
En 1985 se endurecieron los requisitos de cotización. En 1997 se amplió el periodo de cálculo y se avanzó en la separación de fuentes de financiación, hasta sacar el gasto sanitario de las cuentas de la Seguridad Social. En 2011 se elevó la edad de jubilación de 65 a 67 años. En 2013 se introdujeron mecanismos automáticos de ajuste. Y en 2021 y 2023 se apostó por aumentar las cotizaciones y las transferencias del Estado.
Y eso de que las pensiones no restan recursos a los Presupuestos es directamente falso.
Desde 2005, el Estado ha transferido unos 320.000 millones de euros, a precios de 2021, para financiar Clases Pasivas, complementos y otras partidas contributivas y extraordinarias. Y el déficit contributivo ya ronda el 4% del PIB.
Que hayamos conseguido seguir pagando las pensiones gracias a sucesivas reformas y a una financiación pública creciente no demuestra que los desequilibrios fueran inventados. Demuestra exactamente lo contrario.
Es como presumir de que un edificio nunca tuvo problemas estructurales después de llevar cuarenta años apuntalándolo.

Fair to say this wouldn’t exist if AI coding wasn’t a thing. No one would’ve taken the time to do it.

La brecha de salarios entre España y Europa se ensancha y alcanza su peor nivel histórico, por @jgjorrin
El salario medio (en euros corrientes, sin corregir por paridad de poder de compra) en España es ya un 15% inferior al de la eurozona (aunque acaba de superar al de Italia), la mayor diferencia de las dos últimas décadas.
El mayor crecimiento del PIB y del empleo no se refleja en la retribución media que perciben los trabajadores, ante el cuasi estancamiento del PIB por ocupado.

there are roughly five fundamental relationships that shape your life:
1. money, which is your relationship with resources.
2. time, which is your relationship with attention & priorities.
3. health, which is your relationship with your body & mind.
4. people, which is your relationship with other humans, mediated through communication.
5. knowledge, which is your relationship with the world & your understanding of it.
so of course the labs will build in these territories & if you thought otherwise or had any doubts you do not understand product & product strategy at all.

I can confidently say that humans were not very good at writing secure infrastructure. The endstate will be hypersecure infrastructure and software for all, but we're going to go through some turbulence before we reach that.

Raising the bar for 8 GB Windows 11 PCs: what’s improved and how to get it

The new Discord client using less RAM is just part of the story. Clicking around feels instant, I can't go back. Check out the boot time.
We've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app code with desktop via Rust. We hope to get it into testing with users soon™. (And it's not Tauri, it's GPUI, so good guess everyone.)
Alright, back to staring at the WoW Forever login screen.

Discord is rebuilding its apps from scratch in Rust!
Discord CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy confirmed they are ditching Electron and React Native. The new client is fully written in Rust and uses GPUI for rendering.
Early preview show massive performance gains:
- RAM usage dropped to ~290 MB (down from ~2 GB)
- Single, lightweight process instead of endless Chromium helpers

I used to decide whether to post in Spanish or English depending on the topic. Now X automatically translates my posts, and the engagement comes in from more than 10 languages. Kudos to the X team for building a truly global community. Languages have always been both a way to communicate and a barrier. Now the barrier is gone.

Meet Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash ⚡️
We’ve made the model more cost-effective, bumped the video generation and editing limit up to 15 seconds, and made updates to how scenes hold together over time. We've also given character speech an upgrade, reduced visual glitches like jump cuts, and made sure the model stays even truer to any reference assets you upload.
So… what does all of that actually mean for you?
It gives you more room to tell your story. With up to 15 seconds to work with, you have more flexibility to create what you need — videos look more cinematic and smooth, offering stronger consistency that keeps objects anchored from start to finish. And when characters speak, the dialogue sounds more fluid and natural.
Creators and everyday users can start directing scenes and multi-turn edits in @FlowbyGoogle, generating 15-second clips at no additional cost in Google Vids, or creating 15-second videos in the @GeminiApp. Plus, for developers and businesses building with the API, we've dropped the price by 30% from the previous generation, making it available at just $0.07 per second for 720p video.
