How much does it cost to have specialized LLMs like those from Cursor for programming... AT HOME with TOP performance? Around €40,000 in hardware and about €900 a year in electricity. This allows models like DeepSeek R1, Llama 3.1-70B Instruct, or Qwen 2.5 Coder to run for

Eating in Ibiza at a “medium” chiringuito is more expensive than in New York, Paris, or London. But people are getting tired of the “Hawaiian poke” at €35 and the beer at €6. This year, there are fewer yachts along the coast. The top restaurants have customers, but

Death and destruction for those who send you job/client/partnership proposals in the LAST week of August. I delete them all. We're in CHIRINGUITO TIME. Throw the damn phone away. Live your life. Rest for at least a couple of weeks.

The queries you delete from ChatGPT's history define you. Good for your Diogenes syndrome. Good because you're ashamed of them. Good because you don't want them to know you're searching for "that."

Is this the best pop album of 2025? I say YES. The first 3 songs are timeless masterpieces. Huge shoutout to Damiano David.

Year 1988. Michael and I were getting ready for his performance at Wembley. We took a break after rehearsals to go to Saint James Park and take this meta-selfie. With the cardboard Kodak, we captured this wonderful moment. The envious will say it's fake.

The damage that ChatGPT does to critical thinking is brutal. Its tendency to agree with humans leads many to create tedious, lengthy, and unbearable reports on the suitability of a plan. Be careful with weighing ideas.

Few places are as indiscreet as the AVE and its café... Names and surnames, companies, upcoming layoffs, institutional likes and dislikes... Always entertaining as usual.

The path to AGI and Singularity doesn’t go through making “more powerful ChatGPTs.” It goes through delving into other types of neural networks not built “just” to complete images from points or phrases from keywords.

One way to "slow down" the world is to add delays to ChatGPT's responses. With 800 million weekly users, every extra second that a response takes will translate into "less productivity" (misunderstood).

Wrapping up the recording of the AI course for Writers. Each image generated with artificial intelligence comes with its prompt, the model, and where it was executed. There's everything: Midjourney, @Freepik (one of the best!), ChatGPT, tuning on Replicate...

15 years using MacOS. This week I tried Windows 11. It's not as bad as I expected, although it's far from Apple's UX. And that was a high-end machine, really lightweight... But any MacBook Air runs faster for coding and video editing.

Your phone has always been listening to you. Your computer, not so much. Now that's changing. OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google need more data to keep growing. Your meetings and daily conversations are their great hope. You help them and they help you. Quid pro quo.

I work with AI like a craftsman. I study every word, context, or expected outcome. I don't like AI for taking shortcuts. I use it to create agents or functionalities that take away my heavy work (revisions) or to "make a better me" where I need to grow. And I see no limits to

iOS 26 has degraded the performance of my iPhone 13 Pro in a ridiculous way. A phone that used to last a full day with normal use at 86% battery life... Now it doesn't even make it to 7 PM. And with worse visual style. Total combo.

ChatGPT just served up a masterful solution. And it's only Monday... Console system management will never be the same again. What used to take over an hour, now solved in 4 minutes. Thanks, Chato.
