YouTube YouTube ha anunciado una nueva función llamada Comunidades, que está diseñada para aumentar la participación en la plataforma de transmisión de video. Una vez habilitado, los usuarios podrán publicar en la comunidad de YouTube y recibir respuestas de otros usuarios. La compañía también dice que está implementando una nueva función. 'ruido' YouTube ha anunciado el lanzamiento de un nuevo botón, una función que ha estado en desarrollo durante más de un año, que impulsará el trabajo de los creadores emergentes en la plataforma al permitir que más espectadores descubran sus canales a través de una tabla de clasificación en toda la plataforma que muestra Los vídeos más populares de YouTube.
Comunidades de YouTube anunciadas
Nuevo comunidades de youtube La ventaja fue Anuncio hecho Instagram anunció el miércoles el lanzamiento de una nueva función llamada “Interacción del propietario del canal”, que se implementará lentamente en canales seleccionados de la plataforma, antes de estar ampliamente disponible el próximo año, según la compañía. La función agrega la capacidad de interactuar con el propietario del canal publicando en una comunidad, mientras que otros usuarios también pueden interactuar y responder a las publicaciones.

Hasta ahora, los usuarios sólo podían publicar comentarios en los canales, lo que obligaba a los creadores a recurrir a plataformas como Facebook, Discord o Telegram para interactuar con los suscriptores. La función de Comunidades similar a un foro de YouTube podría permitir que el servicio mantenga a los usuarios interesados en su propia plataforma.
Esta función no estará habilitada de forma predeterminada, lo que significa que los propietarios del canal deberán habilitarla ellos mismos. También vale la pena señalar que los propietarios de canales deberán moderar sus comunidades para detectar contenido inapropiado a través de la nueva herramienta Community Hub, que vale la pena tener en cuenta.
Botón de promoción de YouTube: cómo funciona
YouTube fue explicado El nuevo botón Promocionar se creó pensando en los creadores emergentes, ya que a veces les puede resultar difícil llegar a nuevos espectadores, incluso si tienen una base de seguidores leales. Si un canal tiene menos de 500.000 suscriptores, los espectadores podrán “promocionarlo”, lo que tiene más impacto que compartir el vídeo o darle me gusta en YouTube.
Según YouTube, cuando un espectador toca el botón nuevo, acumulará interés y comenzará a escalar en la clasificación que muestra los videos más interesantes de la semana. Los usuarios pueden ver los gráficos más recientes para ver qué canales han recibido la mayor atención.
Sin embargo, la nueva característica es un poco complicada: sólo puedes promocionar un vídeo de un canal con menos de 500.000 seguidores, hasta siete días después de la publicación del vídeo. Los espectadores pueden promocionar vídeos tres veces por semana, pero la empresa está estudiando la posibilidad de ofrecer más promociones de compra para ayudar a los creadores a monetizar su contenido.
La plataforma dice que los creadores con menos puntos de registro recibirán un “pequeño bono de creador” que es esencialmente un multiplicador de puntos. Para igualar la clasificación. Curiosamente, YouTube afirma que la promoción de un vídeo no afectará los resultados de búsqueda ni las recomendaciones de vídeos en la plataforma.
You’ve probably seen the headlines: battery EV sales are slowing down, and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) sales are hot; the DC fast charging infrastructure isn’t good enough for road trips, so you should drive a PHEV; battery EVs aren’t ready for prime time, but PHEV are the best of both worlds. I’m here to tell you that it’s all nonsense. Battery EVs are better today than ever, while PHEVs are full of compromises.
Before we dive into why PHEVs are generally a bad idea, here’s a quick disclaimer. I’ve been driving battery EVs for six years now (I’ve owned two Tesla Model 3s back-to-back), and as a car journalist, I’ve tested almost every battery EV available in the US over the last decade, plus my fair share of PHEVs. Since 2018, I’ve been doing road trips in battery EVs multiple times a year all over the Western US.
Because I live in an apartment, I have to park on the street, and I can’t charge at home. I’m also a car enthusiast, and I prefer sporty vehicles that perform and handle well. Obviously, I’m not the average consumer. We all have different priorities, different budgets, and different comfort levels around change. And yes, the EV charging infrastructure isn’t evenly distributed yet. But if you’re looking at PHEVs right now, hear me out.
What are PHEVs?
What are PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles)? In a nutshell, PHEVs are hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles that can be plugged into a power outlet. Unlike regular hybrids, which require gasoline and are basically ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles outfitted with a small battery and electric motor to improve fuel efficiency, PHEVs usually feature a larger battery, plus a charging port (just like battery EVs).
The inconvenient truth is that at the core, PHEVs are still basically gas cars.
PHEVs typically have an EV-only range of up to 40 miles, after which the ICE kicks in and they behave like regular hybrids – fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles. This means you can plug your PHEV into a power outlet every night and drive up to 40 miles a day on electricity without using a drop of gas. And since the average American drives less than 40 miles per day, a PHEV makes it possible to drive 100% electric every day.
Then, if you need to drive farther – like on a road trip – you can fall back on good ole’ dino juice (gasoline), so you don’t have to deal with finding one of those pesky DC fast charging stations or – god forbid – waiting 20 minutes for a charge every 2-3 hours. Plus, your PHEV probably has a gasoline range of over 400 miles. Suck it, battery EVs! Sounds ideal, right? Unfortunately, it’s not. PHEVs are the worst of both worlds.
PHEVs are still gas vehicles

The inconvenient truth is that at the core, PHEVs are still basically gas cars. Sure, they also include a small EV drivetrain, but they are based on the same platform as their hybrid and gasoline twins, with the same packaging and safety compromises. So, unlike most battery EVs, which are built on a bespoke platform, PHEVs don’t have a frunk (front trunk), or a flat floor, or anywhere near the same amount of interior space.

With an ICE (internal combustion engine) under the hood, you don’t benefit from the low center of mass, near 50/50 weight distribution, and massive front crumple zone offered by most battery EVs. This makes PHEVs worse in terms of active (handling) and passive (crash) safety. Also, most PHEVs (even AWD ones) are based on a FWD (front-wheel drive) architecture, so driving dynamics are inherently compromised.
Then, there’s maintenance. While battery EVs basically just need new tires, new wiper blades, and wiper fluid refills, PHEVs require the same maintenance as other gas cars – regular fluid changes (oil, coolant, and transmission), plus tune-ups and emissions tests. So, with PHEVs, you don’t benefit from the same maintenance savings as battery EVs – other than reduced brake wear from regenerative braking.
PHEVs are lackluster EVs
As I mentioned above most battery EVs are built from the ground up on a bespoke platform – typically a “skateboard” with the motor(s) and electronics located between the front and rear wheels, and a large battery pack mounted in the floor between the front and rear axles. Thanks to the battery’s low center of mass and the motors’ high torque, the vast majority of battery EVs deliver better handling and acceleration than PHEVs.
When driving on electricity alone, PHEVs are hampered by a smaller battery and electric motor than battery EVs, plus the weight of the unused ICE (internal combustion engine) and other related components. For maximum performance, PHEVs must combine their electric motor and ICE, and thus burn gas. Plus, most PHEVs lack the regenerative braking settings and one-pedal driving modes that make battery EVs such a pleasure to drive.
Thanks to the battery’s low center of mass and the motors’ high torque, the vast majority of battery EVs deliver better handling and acceleration than PHEVs.
To make matters worse, PHEVs are not significantly lighter or more affordable than similar battery EVs. For example, let’s compare a popular PHEV – the Toyota RAV4 Prime – with the world’s best-selling car – the Tesla Model Y. Both are crossovers, and both are about the same size. As of writing, the RAV4 Prime weighs 4,235lbs and costs $43,690, while the Model Y weighs 4,154lbs and costs $42,990. So why even bother with PHEVs?
PHEVs require home charging to make sense
Another important thing to consider is that you must be able to charge PHEVs at home (or at work) to make them worthwhile. If you never (or rarely) plug your PHEV into a power outlet to charge it, you’re just basically driving around in a heavier-than-normal hybrid with worse fuel efficiency than a regular hybrid. While it’s less expensive to charge at home than at most public chargers, it’s not a requirement for battery EVs.
I know plenty of battery EV owners who live in an apartment and can’t charge at home (myself included). Unlike PHEVs, most battery EVs have a range of 250 miles or more, so you don’t need to charge them every day. Plus, DC fast charging is rapidly becoming more plentiful and more reliable now that most EV manufacturers are adding support for Tesla’s vast Supercharger network to their battery EVs.
This evolving EV charging landscape is also why battery EVs are becoming more viable than ever for road trips, making PHEVs even less relevant.
PHEVs aren’t the answer
Ultimately, PHEVs are still ICE vehicles. They must burn gas and pollute the air just like hybrids and gas cars once their 40-mile EV-only range is depleted. Climate change is real. Do you want to continue being a part of the problem? Do you really want to continue spewing toxic gasses – in communities outside of your own, no less – because you can’t give up the comforting glow of gas stations during road trips? Yes, I am judging you.
“But wait” I hear you say “I plan to plug my PHEV into a power outlet every night and drive up to 40 miles a day on electricity without using a drop of gas.” Good for you. But then, why don’t you just buy a battery EV? Even a Nissan Leaf with just 150 miles of range will get the job done, and you won’t be wasting electricity to lug around a heavy ICE (internal combustion engine), gas tank, muffler, and related paraphernalia.
So, forget PHEVs – they aren’t the answer. Battery EVs are viable today, and the sooner we all get on board, the better. It’s time to commit! Go battery EV or go home.
Our sister site Tom’s Hardware got the chance to try out a bunch of laptops that have the new ARM-based chip, while listening to claims from Qualcomm about how the Snapdragon X Elite will outgun both Intel’s Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) laptop CPUs and Apple’s M3 silicon (which is a rival ARM part).
According to Qualcomm’s testing – add a little seasoning as always with internal benchmarks, not that they’d be faked, of course, but they’re inevitably cherry-picked to present hardware in the best light – the Snapdragon X Elite easily beats Apple’s M3 SoC in Geekbench 6. In multi-threaded testing, the Snapdragon was close to 30% faster than the M3, in fact – although Qualcomm did not provide a single-threaded comparison.
Even more eye-opening was the race against Intel, which pretty much saw Team Blue eating Qualcomm’s dust. The Snapdragon X Elite proved 52% quicker in multi-threaded performance, and 54% faster than the Core Ultra 7 155H for single-threaded performance. That’s when both chips have the same power usage – alternatively, the Elite could match the 155H performance-wise while using 60% or 65% less power (for multi- and single-threaded respectively).
Turning to integrated graphics, the Snapdragon X Elite is apparently up to 36% faster than Intel’s Core Ultra 7 155H, although note the ‘up to’ and that this is a vague assertion (we’re not told what the benchmarking involved). That’s what we mean about cherry-picking, and in the case of integrated graphics, Qualcomm didn’t draw any comparison with the Apple M3 (or faster Intel silicon such as the Core Ultra 9).

Gaming goodness
On the gaming front, we also have the hands-on experience of Digital Trends to draw on. The site found that on one of Qualcomm’s reference laptops, the Snapdragon X Elite was able to run Control fairly smoothly at 35 frames per second (at 1080p, with low to medium graphics settings). With the same settings, Baldur’s Gate 3 ran at 30 fps on average.

Those are pretty impressive results for contemporary games running under emulation (as it’s an ARM chip, remember, not x86).
One of the big hopes for Windows on ARM devices is that emulating software and games (that can’t be run natively as they’re x86) will reach a level where it’s more than palatable, and the Snapdragon X Elite seems to be a good step forward in that direction.
Quantum computing is a term that has been generating a lot of excitement in the tech world. This cutting-edge field is different from the computing most of us are familiar with, which uses bits to process information. Quantum computers use something called qubits, which allow them to perform complex calculations much faster than current computers. While quantum computing is still in its early stages and not yet part of our everyday lives, it’s showing great potential for specialized uses.
One of the leaders in this field is Google Quantum AI, which has developed one of the most sophisticated quantum processors so far. Their work is a testament to it’s researchers commitment to advancing the industry. However, quantum computing is still largely in the research phase, and it will likely be several years before it becomes more mainstream.
Experts in the industry believe that it could take a decade or more before we have quantum computers that are fully functional and error-free, capable of handling practical tasks. This timeline is similar to the development of classical computers, which gradually became more powerful and useful over time.
Google Research Quantum Computing
Learn more about quantum computing as Google Research explains more about the hype and reality of the cutting-edge computer technology that is still under development. As quantum computing continues to develop, we’re starting to see more applications for this technology. It’s expected that quantum systems will enhance, rather than replace, traditional computers, increasing our overall computing capabilities.

The potential for quantum computing to transform various industries is immense. It could greatly improve research in fusion energy by making simulations more efficient and reducing the amount of computation needed. In healthcare, it could speed up the process of modeling new drugs. Quantum computing might also lead to better battery technology by optimizing electrochemical simulations, which could result in more effective energy storage solutions and help produce more environmentally friendly fertilizers.
Hype vs Reality
History has shown us that new technologies often lead to applications that we didn’t anticipate. As quantum computing technology continues to evolve, its full potential will become clearer. Quantum computing represents a significant shift in computational capabilities, promising to solve problems intractable for classical computers. However, the field is in its nascent stages, and there’s often a gap between public perception (hype) and the current state of technology (reality). Here’s a comprehensive explanation, distinguishing between the hype and reality of quantum computing:
Quantum Computer Hype :
Instant Problem Solving: A common misconception is that quantum computers can instantly solve extremely complex problems, like breaking encryption or solving intricate scientific issues, which traditional computers cannot.
Universal Application: There’s a belief that quantum computers will replace classical computers for all tasks, offering superior performance in every computing aspect.
Imminent Revolution: The public often perceives that quantum computing is just around the corner, ready to revolutionize industries in the immediate future.
Unlimited Capabilities: The hype often implies that there are no theoretical or practical limits to what quantum computing can achieve.
Quantum Computing Reality :
Specialized Problem Solving: Quantum computers excel at specific types of problems, such as factorization (useful in cryptography) or simulation of quantum systems. They are not universally superior for all computational tasks.
Niche Applications: Currently, quantum computers are suited for particular niches where they can leverage quantum mechanics to outperform classical computers. This includes areas like cryptography, materials science, and complex system modeling.
Developmental Stage: As of now, quantum computing is in a developmental phase. Key challenges like error correction, coherence time, and qubit scalability need to be addressed before widespread practical application.
Physical and Theoretical Limits: Quantum computers face significant physical and engineering challenges. These include maintaining qubit stability (decoherence) and managing error rates, which grow with the number of qubits and operations.
Quantum Supremacy vs. Quantum Advantage: While quantum supremacy (a quantum computer solving a problem faster than a classical computer could, regardless of practical utility) has been claimed, the more crucial milestone of quantum advantage (practical and significant computational improvements in real-world problems) is still a work in progress.
Hybrid Systems: The foreseeable future likely involves hybrid systems where quantum and classical computers work in tandem, leveraging the strengths of each for different components of complex problems.
Investment and Research: Significant investment and research are ongoing, with breakthroughs happening at a steady pace. However, it’s a field marked by incremental progress rather than sudden leaps.
Ethical and Security Implications: The rise of quantum computing brings ethical considerations, particularly in cybersecurity (e.g., breaking current encryption methods) and data privacy. It necessitates the development of new cryptographic methods (quantum cryptography).
The excitement around quantum computing is not without merit. Each new discovery moves us closer to what once seemed like the stuff of science fiction. The progress made by Google Quantum AI and others in this field is a strong sign of the transformative power of quantum computing.
Quantum computing is still in its infancy, but the advancements made by Google and other pioneers are steadily paving the way for a future that includes quantum computation. Although the current state of quantum computing may not live up to the high expectations some have for it, the potential applications and ongoing research suggest that it could indeed live up to its promise in the years to come.
