Me quiero matar. Que época cuando los DVD tenían menús interactivos y, en algunos casos, como los de Disney, venían con juegos, bloopers o making of. Nos robaron todo

Terence Tao - "AI tools are like taking a helicopter to drop you off at the site. You miss all the benefits of the journey itself. You just get right to the destination, which actually was only just a part of the value of solving these problems."
Judit Polgar - "I always felt that intuition is very important in chess, but I get my intuition through my experience. And many times I think that this is the biggest danger for youth, that they don't have the experience because they don't spend enough time doing."
Elites from two different fields voice the same opinion.

Sir @demishassabis has a mind for synthesis. His favorite book is about a grand theory of everything. His preferred philosophers are seen by some as opposites. His life's work ranges from board games to Nobel-winning science.
We're grateful to have hosted Demis and his @GoogleDeepMind team at @sequoia AI Ascent last week for a fireside chat. He kindly gave us permission to share this, and you can watch the full video here:

ENI to Relaunch PetroJunin (...and PetroBicentario?) -> On 28 April 2026, Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi met Venezuela’s President Delcy Rodríguez in Caracas to relaunch the PetroJunín project in the Junín-5 area of the Orinoco Belt.
Although this is excellent news, it is notable that there was no mention of PetroBicentenario, the downstream component originally designed as part of the integrated project.
I was particularly fond of this project back in 2010 when it was formalized, it stood out for how Eni thought outside the box, including its willingness to deploy its Eni Slurry Technology (EST) in the refinery, which was a natural fit for this kind of extra-heavy oil development.
I remember this as one of the most interesting, and ambitious, projects from the wave of agreements signed by PDVSA with IOCs between 2010 and 2012.
What made PetroJunín stand out was not just its scale, but its structure. Unlike most Orinoco developments, it was conceived as an "integrated project" combining upstream production with a dedicated downstream component.
The original concept was bold: a 240 kb/d development built on a resource base of ~35 bn barrels of original oil in place [2.9-3.9 bn barrels 1p/2p] with a long-cycle, capital-intensive model. Phase 1 targeted ~75 kb/d of extra-heavy crude (8–10° API), ramping up to 240 kb/d over time through the drilling of ~1,500 wells across a 25-year period. Initial production was to rely on cold production (5–7% recovery), followed by enhanced recovery methods to push recovery factors towards ~20%.
Where PetroJunín really differed from its peers was downstream integration. Instead of an upgrader, as planned in PetroIndependencia (Chevron) or PetroCarabobo (Repsol et al), the project included the development of a large-scale refinery. This was to be executed through a parallel JV, PetroBicentenario, designed as the twin project to handle refining.
Under the original plan, PetroBicentenario would have a capacity of ~350 kb/d, processing 240 kb/d from PetroJunín to produce mainly diesel and naphtha. The naphtha was expected to be blended with output from the Petromonagas upgrader, which has a capacity of ~120–150 kb/d and yields ~104 kb/d of ~16° API syncrude.
The integrated structure also had a fiscal logic. Splitting upstream and downstream into two JVs allowed the refining segment to benefit from a lower income tax rate of 34% versus 50% upstream, as well as more flexible ownership structures, including the possibility of majority private participation, even though PDVSA initially retained 60% in PetroBicentenario.
Total investment was estimated at ~US$17–19 bn in capex and ~US$17–20 bn in opex over the life of the project.
Whether the current relaunch will revive the downstream component remains unclear and, realistically, unlikely in the near term. Let's see.

Pero hay que tener más cara que espalda para decir esto.
O sea, es verdad, pero como no me conviene, trato de desestimar el dato asumiendo la mala fe del interlocutor.
Como si el fuego quemase menos según la intención de la hornilla.
Ay España, esta película la he visto antes.

Ayer en La Sexta sobre el IRPF, los impuestos y el infierno fiscal: “El dato es técnicamente cierto pero la realidad es que tú usaste ese dato con el fin político de confundir a la gente”. Así estamos.
