About the Ideas Factory The Ideas Factory is an initiative by UGR Emprendedora, designed to foster creativity and entrepreneurial spirit among students at the University of Granada. This event acts as a kind of hackathon, where participants have the opportunity to work on an idea for 3 intensive days, from its inception to the final presentation. During the process, they receive support and mentoring to develop their projects, and at the end, they present their ideas to a jury.
Last Friday, October 11, a very special meeting took place at the PTS Foundation in Granada. This meeting brought together various associations and groups that share something in common: a passion for organizing technological events in our city. The main goal was to put faces to names amongst ourselves, sharing experiences and the challenges we face when carrying out these events.
Notable Participants Some of the groups and associations present were:
Introduction to the New Dimension of Entertainment Virtual reality has revolutionized the way we consume multimedia content. With devices like the Meta Quest 3, we are offered a completely immersive experience that brings us closer than ever to what we are watching. In this post, I share my experience watching the second season of The Rings of Power using this technology.
Initial Setup Before diving into the world of elves and fantasy realms, I had to set everything up.
Last Thursday, September 26, we celebrated the 3rd AiBeers at Fundaci贸n PTS. It was an AiBirras very much focused on “iron”, as topics related to hardware, electronics, and productivity tools were discussed.
Topics Covered During the meetup, participants had the opportunity to dive into fascinating subjects such as:
Hardware Components: We explored the latest trends in hardware components and how they are revolutionizing the industry. Advanced Electronics: We discussed the new advancements in the field of electronics and how these developments are enabling the creation of more efficient and powerful devices.
For some time, I had “Enchantment” by Guy Kawasaki on my list of pending readings. In fact, I have two copies of it, but I never found the right moment to read it. Finally, I decided to turn its pages, and here are my reflections.
General Impressions The first impression I had is that, although it is a good book, I honestly expected more. I think this is because the content from Guy Kawasaki was already familiar to me.
The Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, has been observed in a multitude of scenarios and contexts. With the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and the latest Large Language Models (LLM) models, we can conclude that we are facing a new application of this principle: software development.
How is the Pareto principle applied in AI-driven software development? It’s simple: 20% human guidance/supervision, 80% development by AI. Let’s see step by step how this is possible:
On the past September 2nd, we witnessed a momentous event for the creative industry of Granada with the inauguration of the Hubic (Creative Industry Hub). This new space for entrepreneurship has been granted by the Granada City Council to the Young Entrepreneurs Association (AJE) with the aim of promoting culture and entrepreneurship in the city.
A Long-Term Project Towards Granada 2031 This long-term project is part of the bid for Granada to become the European Capital of Culture 2031, and its mission is to serve as a catalyst for cultural activities and to support entrepreneurship related to culture.
Nvidia has made a strong statement with exceptional results this quarter, boosting its revenues by 122% thanks to its artificial intelligence products. According to El Mundo, the company has surpassed all analysts’ expectations, with revenues reaching $30.040 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.67.
A moment of correction in the market? 馃搲 However, in a surprising turn of events, just before the Nasdaq closed, Nvidia’s shares were down almost 7%.
As I have mentioned here before, I have a Kubernetes cluster made up of 4 Raspberry Pi 4 units and one Raspberry Pi 5. I mainly use it for CI/CD with Gitea, web scraping with Selenium, and many n8n workflows that heavily rely on OpenAI (simple agents and chains).
Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano 8GB The thing is, the other day I saw a post from Asier Arranz showing how well the Gemma 2 model, quantized to 4 bits, performs on the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano with 8 GB.
The well-known computer activist Jaime G贸mez-Obreg贸n has issued an important warning regarding the new billing regulations in Spain. According to him, the implications it will have on freelancers and small businesses will be considerable due to the artificial complexity introduced by the diversity of formats and software required.
Changes In Billing How many times have we complained about poorly designed digital public services. Terrible procedures which we all end up suffering and that now seem almost impossible to change.
