  Siri will be available on the new ipad (the third generation iPad), which is not supported by ipad2. Finally, Siri will start Canadian English and French and Italian. In the future, we will support the accents of 60 countries and regions such as Chinese, Cantonese in Hong Kong, Mandarin in Taiwan Province, Mandarin in Mainland China and Cantonese. Local search was previously only available in the United States, but now it has expanded to the whole world.

3. Customized for China

  Like OS X, in order to make China users better adapt to iOS 6, the system has added the support of Baidu Search, Sina Weibo, Youku, Tudou, etc., and upgraded the input method. We don’t know the specific situation yet.

iOS 6
The addition of China element.

  For China, who has no access to Twitter, Facebook and Youtube, this improvement is really necessary. We will update more content after we get the firmware. Although this content is not much, the improvement is of great significance.

4、Passbook

  Passbook can help you store and find all kinds of cards conveniently. It can collect all the two-dimensional codes of such things as Bakka, Target store and tickets for some sports events.

iOS 6
IOS 6 new program Passbook

iOS 6
Store and manage all kinds of bills (QR codes) through Passbook.

iOS 6

iOS 6
Game ticket

  Through this application, we can manage all kinds of voucher things more conveniently, but this must have a QR code. This software is a unified password management software, which is different from computer password management. It manages your bank card and flight information more. Moreover, the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen, which is convenient to replace all the cards on behalf of a mobile phone.

  You can call the location, and when you approach a Starbucks, your discount card will automatically pop up. Boarding passes of Starbucks, United Airlines and other airlines are all within the scope of support. Trapeze can not only check in online, but also avoid printing boarding passes. The improvement of this function seems to have little to do with China users, but it is in sharp contrast with the previous one.

5. Safari upgrades offline and horizontal full screen, and reminds later.

  In addition to the above functions, iOS 6 adds a reminder function later; Support Safari’s iCloud, offline and landscape full-screen functions; Photo stream supports the sharing function; Email VIP function and so on. Let’s take a look at it briefly.

  IPad special mode:

iOS 6
Single-program limited mode, which can be used when testing or showing programs.

iOS 6
Specific key locking mode, in which some buttons will be locked to prevent children from misoperation.

  Telephone function update:

iOS 6
When receiving an incoming call in iOS 6, we can choose to remind you later or reply by SMS.

iOS 6
Remind the incoming call information later

  In addition, in iOS 6, facebook address book and phone book will be integrated, similar to the contacts of Windows Phone, or HTC Friend Stream in Android, Samsung social circle and so on.

iOS 6
Now we can use the firewall (do not disturb) function without jailbreaking.

iOS 6
After setting the time, you can effectively intercept incoming calls and ensure a rest.

  Safari update: 

iOS 6
Safari supports iCloud synchronization.

iOS 6
Add offline reading function

  
  In addition, the browser will have its own photo uploading tool and support uploading photos on the webpage. At the same time, the browser can also push your current URL to the application, and when you visit the web version where you have installed the client, you will be prompted to jump to this client.

  Photo stream shared:

iOS 6
Others can view the photos of photo stream you shared on the webpage.

  VIP mailbox:

iOS 6
You can set VIP. Letters from VIP mailboxes of important people will be highlighted.

  After this improvement, it will be easier to insert pictures and videos, or password-protected office documents into emails.

  Facebook is strongly implanted:

iOS 6
Like Twitter before, Facebook is also strongly embedded in iOS this time.

 iOS 6
Shortcut button on the top bar

  Facebook will achieve the same system-level integration as Twitter. Now we can also connect facebook to appstore and itunes store, and developers can use api to access facebook to share. But this function is basically useless in China, so let’s ignore it for the time being.

6. Summary

  The upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 is not as much as the previous change from 4 to 5. Some people may feel that there are too few updates. However, we can see the strength of Apple in the brand-new map program, and we can see that Apple is paying more and more attention to the domestic market by updating Siri and customizing China. Judging from several other functions, the user experience of iOS 6 will still be improved a lot, and many built-in "grabbing jobs" may pose a greater threat to third-party software.

  When iOS 6 is released, I believe there will be many functions added, and then we will judge whether this update is qualified. For the iOS 6 system, we will introduce it in detail as soon as we get the firmware. Please continue to pay attention to the reports brought to you by Pacific Computer Network.

Community Composting | Bangalore, India (Ⅱ): How to Treat Kitchen Wastes in Big Cities?

To sum up, the community composting model in Bangalore is led by SWMRT, leading local public welfare organizations, social enterprises and volunteer groups to form a joint force, and it is a bottom-up attempt and promotion model. They took advantage of the opportunity brought by the garbage crisis to urge the state courts to issue decrees. Once the decrees were issued, they became a top-down promotion and implementation model. It can be said that Bangalore composting model is an organic combination of bottom-up and top-down methods, which provides a new idea for us to explore the technology and management path of kitchen waste recycling in China, especially to try and popularize community kitchen waste composting.

Below, some specific composting cases are introduced.

Compost basket in a community in Bangalore. The pictures in this article are provided by Zhang Xuehua.

There are 1332 households in this community, and composting has been done for more than seven years. They mixed kitchen waste, dried leaves, coconut residue (without strains), sawdust residue and a microbial strain, crushed them with a crusher and composted them. I call it shopping basket composting, which is the simplest and most economical community composting method. There are about 1000 baskets in this community, and the kitchen allowance is nearly 1000 kilograms a day. One box can hold about 13 kilograms of kitchen waste, and about 80-100 baskets are used every day, which can be recycled every 10 days. Ten days later, before being transferred from the shopping basket to the composting pool to continue fermentation, it will be broken again and screened, and the large particles will be put back into the next round of composting basket, and the small ones will enter the composting pool to continue fermentation. The whole composting process takes 35 to 40 days to complete.

Schematic diagram of a composting process

The garbage disposal room in this community is about 300 square meters, which is not only used for composting, but also for secondary sorting of recycled garbage. Dry garbage can be sold for money, and so can kitchen waste. This place is managed by a woman from the Welfare Committee, and six workers are employed to take charge of the secondary sorting and composting management of garbage. Every morning from 10: 00 to 11: 30, the community cleaners come to collect garbage, and there are two people in one building. This meticulous management ensures the quality of the final fertilizer, and many local people are willing to buy their compost products.

Bokashi compost is also popular in China, which is very effective in treating mixed kitchen waste (raw, cooked and meat kitchen waste). The principle of Pocasi barrel is very simple, which is a facultative fermentation process dominated by anaerobic. However, if it is not properly managed, it is very easy to stink, especially during the transfer of fermented products, which often emits a lot of odor, causing residents to resent and complain.

Pocasi bucket of the resort owner

This is a resort owner in Bangalore. He has three restaurants in the city. Every day, about 240 kilograms of kitchen waste is produced. Eight to ten bocasi barrels should be packed separately, and then coconut residue, bacteria and compaction should be added. After standing for three days, the barrels should be sent to the resort to continue fermentation for two weeks. Then transfer it out, add leaves for secondary aerobic composting, and complete the decomposition process after three to four weeks, and the compost product can be used.

Sealed composting facilities in the office area of Bangalore municipal government

This is the composting facility in the office area of Bangalore municipal government. They started composting only two or three years ago. The cases mentioned before are all open composting, and the closed composting facilities are used here. They collect all the organic waste in the office area for composting, and also collect dry leaves as regulating substances for composting together. After fermentation, put it in a metal compost frame for decomposition. The quality of the final mature fertilizer is very good, and it is applied to the garden soil in the office area.

According to the Bangalore government’s estimate in early 2019 (the government has never had accurate statistics), about 50% of the residential quarters with a scale of more than 150 households in the city have been developing kitchen waste composting. So the question is, where did the remaining 50% of the kitchen waste go? According to the municipal official who received us, some went to government-certified composting companies, while others were buried in old quarries.

This shows that no matter how well laws and government policies are formulated, composting centers in many administrative districts have not been established. Frankly speaking, the local government still has the phenomenon of inaction, which exists in many countries and regions and depends on the continuous promotion of social forces.

Formation of composting industrial chain

Since Bangalore implemented the decentralized waste management model, we can see that a composting industry chain from design to sales has gradually taken shape. Local farmers began to be willing to use compost products piled up from kitchen waste, and companies specializing in purchasing and selling compost products appeared. The formation of industrial chain will also reduce the price of compost raw materials, such as coconut residue. The selling price of Indian coconut brick with bacteria is 25 yuan RMB for every 5 kg, and that of coconut brick without bacteria is 19 yuan RMB for every 5 kg. On the market in China, the online sales price of coconut bricks without bacteria is 23-25 yuan per 5 kg.

In recent years, the chain of urban kitchen waste compost and agricultural planting has begun to open up. Two years ago, the government tried to build a platform linking composting and planting, and recommended government-certified composting products to farmers. Because the government has not really promoted it, the platform has never been established. In 2019, SWMRT set up a platform of its own, and now it has settled in dozens of farms.

Due to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, many people don’t go to the supermarket to buy things, so the farmers’ market suddenly became prosperous, and more people began to buy compost products, which also brought closer the direct contact between community compost and farmers. It can be seen that it is very important to open up the circulation of substances and form a closed chain of organic substances.

Of course, government certification is also very important. At the end of last year, Bangalore government began to certify relevant composting enterprises, such as composting facilities manufacturers, composting raw materials enterprises and composting consulting companies. At present, 37 enterprises have obtained government qualifications. This is a measure taken by the government only after the composting industry has developed to a certain extent and promoted by social organizations. On the other hand, non-profit organizations like SWMRT themselves have hatched social enterprises and social organizations related to composting.

For example, Hasiru Dala is a well-known local charity organization concerned with garbage issues, and later it hatched a social enterprise with the same name, focusing on supporting the garbage collectors at the lowest level of society, striving for their legal employment status and related benefits from the government, providing them with technical training, allowing them to hold posts with certificates and helping to manage compost in various communities.

Daily Damp is the earliest local composting company. It was established in 2005, mainly selling composting facilities and various composting auxiliary products. In recent years, it began to acquire qualified composting products. The company invented the earliest closed compost bin, which was popular in India and even copied by Europeans and Americans. This company won the Best Social Enterprise Award in India in 2015.

New Composting Learning Center in Bangalore: Social organizations are training residents on composting.

Since 2005, domestic composting has gradually emerged in Bangalore, laying an important mass foundation for community composting and centralized composting. For example, Vasuki, an Indian expert we hired, turned his garage into a warehouse for composting facilities, and the street in front of his house became a display place for composting, which can handle the kitchen waste of more than a dozen neighbors nearby.

Composting expert Vasuki’s composting company and home composting facilities are displayed.

We visited a public composting workshop that has been running for more than ten years. It is located in the home of Vani, a well-known local environmental activist. The activity venue is on the roof, and various composting methods are displayed in more than 100 square meters. For example, the simplest free self-made compost bucket can be composted by putting dried leaves picked up on the street and crushing them by hand.

What impressed me the most was that Vani told me repeatedly when we met for the first time that the best way to avoid mosquito odor from composting at home was to compost the kitchen waste as soon as it was produced. In other words, let the kitchen waste directly enter the compost bucket from the cutting board and dining table to avoid the rot and odor caused by long shelf life. In other words, the kitchen Yu Gang was not rotted when it was produced, and there were no mosquitoes, so it was the best to control.

In my opinion, the completion of the composting learning center is a landmark event for the success of community composting in Bangalore. The learning center was completed in early 2019. The municipal government took out a three-acre small park as a venue, and environmental protection organizations persuaded a local garbage collection and transportation company to provide financial support. This garbage company is run by the nephew of a district councilor in Bangalore. He donates one third of the company’s monthly income every year to maintain the operation and management of the learning center.

The reference significance of Bangalore

Source classification of kitchen waste is very important. Indian experts say that the purity of kitchen waste separated locally can reach 95%, which is related to door-to-door collection without plastic bags, with high visibility and less mixed impurities.

Secondly, the meticulous management of compost is very important, which is the most worth learning. They treat composting as a kind of science and art, strive to master the basic principles of composting, choose appropriate composting methods, and pay attention to the management of composting process. At the individual and community level, composting is the best way to practice circular economy.

There, I often heard the person in charge of the local environmental protection organization say: Treat your composting as your baby. Fine management in Bangalore can not only improve residents’ acceptance of composting and ensure the quality of composting products, but also gradually form an industrial chain and promote the popularization of community composting model.

In addition, Bangalore model can not be separated from the vigorous promotion of social forces and the participation of composting enterprises. For example, Vani, the "mother of compost" mentioned earlier, has been promoting home composting since 2005. Imagine that if 1% of families in a city have tried composting, then most people have heard of or seen composting, and composting has a certain social acceptance. By the time the garbage crisis appeared in 2012, more than a dozen local communities had formed a sustainable composting model, which was a very important prerequisite for the introduction and implementation of Bangalore’s new garbage policy.

Social organizations and enterprises involved in composting promotion in Bangalore

Non-profit organizations not only promoted the introduction of policies (including public interest litigation), but also became the backbone of promotion after the introduction of policies, helping the government to improve mobilization and training work such as garbage sorting, kitchen waste composting and residents’ mobilization. Instead of waiting for the government to implement the policy, they actively helped the government to train volunteers and promote and supervise the government’s work. As we all know, it is very difficult to completely rely on the government’s conscious implementation.

In Bangalore, social organizations supported the emergence of composting industry from the beginning. Both the government and community organizations encouraged individuals to set up social enterprises to support the industry by supporting themselves. It is also very important that both communities and enterprises should make efforts to make the composting process and composting products safe and harmless, so as to ensure their application in public areas and farmland.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Unconsciously, it has been more than a year since the launch of NVIDIA RTX 30 series, but the layout of the whole family product is still not complete enough, and it only covers RTX 3060 for a long time. In recent years, the speed of upgrading graphics cards has indeed slowed down.

For reasons that we all know, the price of mid-to-high-end graphics cards now makes mainstream players sigh, and there is a more urgent demand for entry-level graphics cards.

Today, RTX 3050 is finally here! Look at MSI’s RTX 3050 magic dragon version today.

RTX 3050 product specifications:

First, let’s take a look at the overall specifications of RTX 3050.

The numb of core stream processors is 2,560,Close to between half RTX 3070 and half RTX 3060 Ti., so the positioning is relatively clear is the relatively entry-level graphics card. In addition, it seems that RTX 3050 is not a full blood core, so there will be RTX 3050 Ti in theory.

The memory specification is 8GB GDDR6. Compared with the earlier 30-series graphics cards, RTX 3060 obviously started to enlarge the memory capacity, and RTX 3050 also retained 8GB of memory.

In the column of technical support, NVIDIA official website has listed dozens of technologies, and RTX 3050 is the same as other RTX 30 series graphics cards, so you can make use of the latest graphics card technologies, especially the new version of Optical Chase and DLSS, which is obviously helpful for improving the game experience.

Five graphics cards are mainly used in this test, and the comparison groups are RTX 2060, RX 5600XT, GTX 1660S and RX 590. 100% benchmark is RTX 2060.

It should be noted that since most of the tests use non-public graphics cards, the performance of graphics cards needs to be analyzed together with the running frequency.

Introduction of performance test items:

For children’s shoes interested in further understanding the comparative performance, detailed test data will be provided here. The test will be roughly divided into the following parts: GPU theoretical performance, GPU benchmark test, game performance test, hardware acceleration test and power consumption test. As usual, the amount of data will be relatively large. There are some updates on the test items, and the game part will include five parts: DX9, DX11, DX12, VULKAN and DXR.

In terms of game performance (at approximately 2K resolution), compared with RTX 2060, RTX 3050 performs better in DX12 and VULKAN than DX11 and DX9. The RTX 3050 is obviously better than RTX 2060 in the test of light chasing game, which also plays an obvious role in improving the memory capacity.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

According to the resolution, at 1080P, RTX 3050 has obvious advantages in VULKAN, but its overall performance will be lower than the average.

The acceleration performance test of OpenGL is just a simple look.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

The overall performance of RTX 3050 can obviously be ahead of GTX 1660 SUPER by about 7% due to GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660 SUPER. However, compared with RTX 2060, it will still fall behind by about 13%.

In terms of power consumption, the energy consumption ratio of RTX 3050 is quite satisfactory. Although it is not particularly prominent, it is enough to hang a number of old cards.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

According to the theoretical performance test, RTX 3050 is superior to RTX 2060 and GTX 1660S in computing power to better support optical tracking and DLSS unit performance.

The running performance of RTX 3050 is not particularly good-looking, only slightly higher than GTX 1660S.

Game performance, but the performance of RTX 3050 is obviously better than running score, and the gap with RTX 2060 is only about 9%.

OpenGL performance, RTX 3050 performance is not outstanding, roughly equivalent to GTX 1660S.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Actual operating parameters:

Under the 3DMark Time Spy baking machine, the average core frequency is 1985MHz, and the highest frequency is 2010MHz. The memory frequency is stable at 1750MHz. This frequency is relatively high for the core of the N card.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

The room temperature of the test environment is about 22 degrees, the core temperature of the graphics card is about 60 degrees, and the fan speed is less than 1200 rpm. The overall power consumption of the graphics card is about 130W W. The temperature and mute performance are quite good.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

The power consumption of RTX 3050 card is about 130W(3DMARK TS test), and the core power consumption is only about 85W, so it is close to RX 6500XT, and the energy consumption ratio is relatively good.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Comparing the platforms of AMD and Intel, we use R9 5900X and i9-12900K to compare them. We can see that the overall gap between AMD and Intel is very small, and RTX 3050 is not very selective about CPU.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Finally, a brief test of DLSS is given. The game tested is Tomb Raider 11. It can be seen that the number of frames is gradually increased from 31 to 71 at 4K resolution.

Therefore, although RTX 3050 is a product with 2K resolution, it relies on DLSS technology to realize the display supporting higher resolution.

Graphics ladder diagram:

It’s time to enjoy the ladder diagram, and compare the graphics cards I’ve tested since this time. Among them, the power consumption is the result of testing with a new platform.

Performance and power consumption are very sweet! RTX 3050 Depth Test Report

Simple summary:

About the performance of the graphics card:

The overall performance of RTX 3050 will be better than GTX 1660S and GTX 1660 Ti, and the video memory capacity is 2GB more, which can support ray tracing and DLSS more completely, so it is acceptable as an entry choice at 1080p/2K resolution.

About the power consumption of the graphics card:

In terms of energy consumption ratio, the energy consumption ratio of RTX 3050 is not particularly amazing, but it is still the best among graphics cards with the same performance.

About the heat dissipation of the graphics card:

Magic dragon of MSI really didn’t let us down, with the power consumption of RTX 3050, the radiator of a single heat pipe can support it, while magic dragon directly gave three heat pipes, which directly resulted in quite low full-load power consumption and support for fan stall technology.

Generally speaking, the main task of RTX 3050 is to replace a large number of 6G video memory graphics cards headed by GTX 1060 6G, which is also the product with the highest proportion of use in Steam statistics.

It is very interesting to look at the strategies of NVIDIA and AMD, which just complement each other.

AMD’s strategy is to provide RX 6500XT, replace GTX 1060 6G with lower specifications as much as possible, and castrate hardware decoding, so it is basically a very pure 1080P game card.

NVIDIA’s strategy is to provide a graphics card that can be significantly better than the 16 series and previous products, retain all the features of the 30 series, and ensure the ability of 2K resolution games and 4K DLSS games, so that this group can feel improved after updating the graphics card.

So is RTX 3050 really worth buying? It still depends on the specific price on the market.

Technology last night and this morning at 1020:OPPO Find N3 folding screen mobile phone was released, Xiaomi 14 mobile phone official announced this month, and Tesla Model 3 was released for sale.

Let’s stop here for today. Technology last night and this morning, let’s see you tomorrow.

All in AI is Baidu’s pit, and content ecology is Baidu’s opportunity.

Let’s go back to the Baidu AI Developers Conference in 2017.

COO Lu Qi took the lead in making his debut. At 10 o’clock in the morning, he stepped onto the stage on time, occupying the field of vision of 5000 spectators, and blasting a value judgment into the minds of on-site and off-site users:AI will bring mankind into a new era just like the previous three industrial revolutions.

Lu Qi’s voice is firm, powerful and full of confidence, and there is no doubt: "We can definitely lead!"

"AI is an opportunity for Baidu, All In AI."With a wave of his right hand, Lu Qi put his index finger up, calmly "stud" and bet on the whole Baidu.

Luqi

At the end of the meeting, Liu Ji wanting more, announced on the spot:In 2020, Baidu can realize automatic driving of high-speed and urban roads.

Ok, now we can travel back to May 2020. At this time, Lu Qi has left Baidu for two years, and the situation of the artificial intelligence industry has changed greatly.Automatic driving on the high speed is far away.

Wave Computing, a foreign star AI company, laid off its employees and filed for bankruptcy protection. Horizon, a domestic AI head company, was laid off by 50%. At the beginning of this year, the report of Cheetah Global Think Tank showed that the financing amount of AI enterprises experienced a cliff-like decline after 18 years of continuous increase. Compared with 2018, the amount of financing in 2019 decreased from 148.45 billion to 96.727 billion, a decrease of 34.8%, and the amount of financing decreased from 737 to 431, a decrease of 40%.

Since the second half of 2019, IPO plans have been successively spread from Defiance Technology, Shangtang Technology, Yuncong Technology, Excellent Choice and Cambrian. Regrettably, after six months’ application for listing, the status of Defiance was still invalid. Shang Tang was delayed to go public and turned to private equity market for financing. According to the "investment circle" report, Defiance and Shang Tang were frustrated in listing one after another because the valuation was not recognized. CAMBRIAN was asked 20 questions by Shanghai Stock Exchange after applying for listing in science and technology innovation board.

The capital market, which was greeted with smiles before, was completely faceless. Gone are the days when artificial intelligence companies could get high valuations by putting AI tags on PPT two years ago.

At this time, Baidu was caught in a full-scale war with ByteDance. Li Yanhong should have discovered it long ago.All In AI is not an opportunity for Baidu, but a big pit for Baidu.

Today’s situation is particularly clear:The era has emerged, that is, the great migration of content competition from graphic to video. The new traffic generated by this great migration will profoundly affect the entire Internet industry in China. Which big company dominates this great migration will be able to hold the gate of traffic distribution in its own hands, just as Tencent has done in the past 10 years.

Baidu has fallen behind from BAT, which has long been a recognized fact. Today, the market value of Meituan exceeds 100 billion US dollars, and the most unpleasant thing may be Li Yanhong. Although the news of "Baidu delisting" was officially denied, it may not be without reason.

If you want to restore your former glory and re-tie with Erma,The ongoing content ecological war is just one of the few opportunities for Li Yanhong, if not the only one.

Li Yanhong has obviously realized this, so he will vigorously support the live broadcast platform. Baidu executives announced that they will give live broadcast of 10 billion traffic+500 million cash support. However, because it is too late to launch, live broadcast and even the whole short video field, it is already an almost impossible task for Baidu to make a preemptive strike.

If in 2017, before Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok were exposed, Baidu All in was not AI, but content ecology, would the result be different?

The slogan "All in AI" reveals the background color of Lu Qi’s character.

At the end of last year, Lu Qi accepted a late interview and made no secret that he was too confident and was considered "self-righteous" by his wife.

This is Lu Qi’s reflection after he returned to China for three years and suffered setbacks in his two career choices.

But in 2017, ALLINAI-this almost gambling action is undoubtedly a stimulant in front of the lively capital market.

Lu Qi, who put forward this slogan, has been well-known in the Chinese and American science and technology circles for many years, and his resume can’t be picked out-postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, executive vice president of Yahoo and global executive vice president of Microsoft, known as "the most powerful Chinese in Silicon Valley".

It seems that the time has indeed come: in 2016, the "man-machine war"-Alpha Dog defeated Li Shishi in the ninth stage of Go, turned AI, which was originally confined to the fields of science and science fiction, into a popular hot topic on everyone’s lips.

The geographical location has also been created: outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, Lu Qi sat in the Baidu AI conference venue, and the real owner of Baidu, Li Yanhong, performed a stunning scene of unmanned driving outside the Fifth Ring Road. Despite being issued a ticket, compared with the seemingly upcoming driverless era, such a price is completely insignificant.

That night, Baidu’s market value rose by nearly $18 billion.

Half a month later, the State Council released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", which added another fire to the development of AI at the policy level, and the market quickly detonated. Ma Yun founded the Dharma Institute, Ma Huateng proposed AI in all, and Huawei released the full-stack full-scenario AI strategy. Investors throw money into the wind.

In July of the same year, Shangtang Technology raised $410 million, which was the highest financing record in the world at that time. Three months later, Defiance Technology completed $460 million in financing. At this point, AI Company entered the financing race mode and its records were constantly updated. In May 2018, Shangtang Technology raised $620 million, and Ubisoft completed $820 million. In June, Yunzi raised $1 billion from technology, in July, Shang Tang received $1 billion from Softbank, and in November, Horizon raised $1 billion …

Under the fierce fire, the market soon proved that everyone overestimated the commercial liquidity of AI. At the beginning of 2018, Kai-Fu Lee bluntly said in an interview with China International Television: The bubble of AI will burst. "Every entrepreneur wants to package his startup into an AI company, and every VC wants to flaunt himself as an AI investor. But AI investment is actually not suitable for novices to participate. If you don’t understand the AI ? ? technology itself, you are eager to participate in the early stage of AI, and such people will lose even their pants. "

Baidu’s complex organizational structure casts a shadow over the All in AI strategy.

Lin Ning, a former Baidu cloud worker, said frankly: "Baidu feed stream, driverless and cloud technology all belong to AI, but all departments are running in parallel and are not harmonious with each other."

On the one hand, Li Yanhong led a team to do the familiar and profitable search +feed streaming business, on the other hand, Lu Qi focused on betting on driverless driving.

Both of them are commercialized. Even by 2020, looking at the world, the goal of unmanned commercial mass production is still at the conceptual stage.

Taking Waymo, a driverless company owned by Google, as a reference, Waymo started research and development in 2009, and completed the first phase-10 billion mileage test in 10 years. The mass production stage of the second stage is still stuck.

According to Waymo’s good news at the beginning of this year, it raised 2.25 billion US dollars to produce 80,000 cars. However, according to a survey from the media "high-tech smart car", Waymo’s mass production is unrealistic. Waymo invested more than 5 billion US dollars in research and development in the first ten years. Considering the hardware and software costs of 80,000 vehicles, 2.25 billion US dollars can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Back in the domestic market, the situation of driverless driving is even less optimistic. A Baidu employee told the alphabet list that at present, Baidu’s driverless driving is only used in a limited range. "The domestic landing conditions are immature and the social infrastructure development is not matched, so it is difficult to land on a large scale."

According to Li Deyi, an academician of China Academy of Engineering,Driverless driving will be in the product incubation period before 2025, and mass production is expected to be in 2060.

Driverless driving is difficult to realize, and the profit model of search +feed has already run through, and Li Yanhong’s choice does not need to be guessed at all.

Q1 financial report released in April 2018 shows that revenue increased by 31% year-on-year and net profit was RMB 6.7 billion, up by 277% year-on-year. The unmanned business has no revenue, and search and feed streams have become profit anchors. Asked about the commercialization of AI in the earnings conference call, Lu Qi’s response was vague, and he hoped for the future between the lines.

If you pull the camera back to April 2017 and Lu Qigang joined Baidu’s three-month earnings conference call, his response will be much simpler-face the commercialization of driverless technology raised by analysts and give a clear answer:Realize the commercialization of driverless cars in 2020.

When he joined Baidu in early 2017, Lu Qi shared an experience: jumping on the right boat at the right time. By the late interview at the end of 2019, his quotation added one more sentence: take a step back and broaden the horizon.

In Lin Ning’s view,It is inevitable for Lu Qi to leave Baidu. "Lu Qi chose a track that Baidu is not good at."

Lin Ning said frankly that driverless driving is a very good AI landing scene, and Baidu’s technology is also very good, but the Apollo program is just a famous sound, and the products can’t land at all. "BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Baidu and Apple are all driverless, and what do Internet companies take? Compared with car manufacturers?"

More importantly, this led Baidu to take a fork in the road in strategy and completely fall behind in content layout.

The core of Baidu is search, and the essence of search is content.Baidu tried to rely on AI to make a turnaround, so that it was underinvested and lacked foresight in the main channel of the times-content ecological competition.Throughout 2016, Ali announced the creation of "super consumer media". Tencent has Daily Express and Tencent News to seize the consulting market. The headline is 1 billion, and it is necessary to focus on supporting short videos …

Although Baidu has already made preparations. In 2016, he also laid out 1 billion layouts of 100 numbers. At the media meeting to welcome Lu Qi in January 2017, Li Yanhong emphasized the importance of information flow. "I am confident that users can rely on Baidu to obtain information." In the end, the center of gravity fell on AI. Li Yanhong received a ticket at the Fifth Ring Road, Lu Qi used the Apollo plan to ripen the AI bubble, and the All in AI strategy can be said to be of no help in revenue.

On the other hand, in 2017, advertising revenue reached 15 billion yuan, accumulating hundreds of millions of creators around the world, and hitting the target of 50 billion in 2018. At that time, there were 1 million creators in the same starting point, and the advertising revenue of information flow was less than 10 billion.

In January 2018, before Lu Qi left Baidu, Li Yanhong attended the geek conference, in addition to emphasizing himself.Never said "All in AI"In addition, information flow is specifically mentioned. "Information flow is the focus of Baidu. Most of Baidu’s resources are on Baidu search and Baidu feed stream."

Li yanhong

Looking back now, reassessing Lu Qi’s choice to leave Baidu can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Lu Qi became an investor and joined YC. Later, he founded Miracle, laid out AI consistently and did what he liked.

When Lu Qi left, public opinion fell to the ground and felt sorry for Lu Qi. With data, Baidu couldn’t keep people. In 10 years, he left at least 10 vice presidents and more than 20 executives. Rumors such as internal palace fights and couples seizing power are rampant. Coupled with the bad impression of hemophilia bar and Wei Zexi incident to the public, Baidu was simply sprayed into a sieve.

But I have to say,It is wise for Baidu to loosen the throttle and win Lu Qi in AI strategy, at least it is better late than never.

After Lu Qi left, the voice of Baidu All in AI disappeared. In the Q3 financial report of 2018, the revenue of search and feed stream business accounted for 80% of the total revenue. At the Baidu World Congress held in the same year, the whole package revolved around the content ecology, such as empowering creators, supporting short videos and landing applets, and upgrading Baidu APP into a "comprehensive content consumption and service platform". It also played a tit-for-tat with the headlines, and the frequency of infringement lawsuits by both sides was much higher.

A few days ago, Baidu launched the "Gathering Energy Plan" to supplement the live broadcast business, which can be said to be the foundation of a comprehensive return to the content ecology.

At the same time, the implementation of Baidu’s driverless strategy is obviously more rational. "Driverless gambling is the future, and the return is too far. At present, we can only reduce the research and development costs slowly." A former Baidu employee said.

At the Baidu AI Developers Conference in 2018, Baidu announced the official mass production of the Apollo 3.0 version "Apollon"-"the world’s first L4-class self-driving car". However, compared with Waymo’s mass production of 80,000 vehicles, Baidu’s mass production of "Apollon" is a little shy, with only 100 vehicles. The activity space can only be limited to relatively closed and fixed-line environments such as parks, airports, scenic spots and factories.

Social supervision also needs Baidu to take it slowly. In 2019, Baidu L4 driverless taxis were put into trial production in Changsha. According to national business daily, drivers are on standby at the driver’s position of driverless taxis. These drivers, also known as "security officers", are prepared in accordance with official requirements to ensure the safety of passengers.

According to the unmanned management measures introduced in Shanghai last September, such as vehicles must be equipped with drivers, enterprises must not charge passengers, and must not engage in transportation or business-related activities. This also means that it will take N years for the enterprise’s driverless products to be truly commercialized.

It is not difficult to understand that although Baidu will definitely mention AI in every financial report, people in the industry know that Baidu’s revenue can only rely on content business.

At the end of February this year, the annual financial report with a total revenue of 107.4 billion yuan in 2019 was released, and the search +feed stream sang the leading role. The unmanned appearance only emphasizes business progress, such as cooperating with 23 cities and getting 40 autonomous driving licenses in Beijing. Revenue data has not been disclosed so far.

By May 19th, the latest Q1 financial report with revenue of 22.5 billion yuan and net profit of 3.1 billion yuan, the main force of Baidu’s revenue has not changed, and the financial data of AI business is still missing. The driverless business is completely playing soy sauce in the financial report, and the cloud business has been taken over. The only AI product that is emphasized is only a small one, a smart speaker.

Baidu’s development path in AI strategy is almost the commonality of domestic AI companies.

"Technical improvement is difficult to completely solve the fundamental defects of current AI, which determine that its application space is limited to specific fields-most of them are concentrated in image recognition and speech recognition." This is the conclusion that Zhang Yue, president of Tsinghua University Institute of Artificial Intelligence, accepted in Economic Observer last May.

At the same time, another conclusion of Zhang Yue is that artificial intelligence based on deep learning has technically touched the ceiling.

This seems hard to understand. As far as we can see, AI products appearing on the market, except intelligent robots, face recognition, intelligent customer service and intelligent speakers, have hardly seen products with more advanced technology research and development. Why is the ceiling of AI so low?

However, the reality is in front of us. From the "man-machine war" in 2016, there has been a lot of talk about AI replacing labor. Kai-fu Lee once asserted that 50% of human work will be replaced by AI within 15 years, but four years later, the development process of domestic AI is not optimistic.

At the AI International Conference in June last year, Ma Ziya, Intel’s technical director, said frankly: Emerging technologies such as big data and AI are difficult to land. At present, only 2% of the data is really used to help human production and life.

Back to the AI commercial market. Even in Ali and JD.COM, which have scene advantages, only basic products such as robots and intelligent customer service have been widely used, and more intelligent technologies are still in the conceptual stage.

A typical example is Iflytek, the leading brother in the field of intelligent voice. In September, 2018, I was questioned about "AI simultaneous interpretation fraud". Finally, Liu Qingfeng, the chairman of the board, delivered the hammer himself, claiming that the intelligence level of the current machine could not replace simultaneous interpretation for the time being. By October, CCTV revealed that Iflytek had illegally occupied the Chinese alligator National Nature Reserve in Xuancheng City, Hui Province, and was suspected of using land to build villas under the guise of "AI".

The financing boom that was rolled up like a storm in the past is now flying everywhere.

AI Unicorn Shangtang Technology has raised nearly $3 billion in 9 rounds in 6 years, and its valuation once exceeded $7 billion. Its business covers smart cities, smart phones, pan-cultural entertainment, smart cars, smart health, smart business, education and advertising. Since 2018, it has frequently exposed packaged and sold assets, which has been questioned by observers and has not formed core technical barriers so far.

The company, which competed with Shang Tang for the dominant position in financing, set a new loss record year by year, from a loss of 343 million in 2016 to a direct loss of 5.2 billion in the first half of 2019, and was forced to fall on the road of IPO of Hong Kong stocks.

The Cambrian lost nearly 1.6 billion yuan in three years. In March this year, it submitted an application for IPO in science and technology innovation board, and planned to issue 40.1 million shares, raise at least 2.8 billion yuan, and value itself at 28 billion yuan. Even it was not afraid to show its cards in the prospectus: it could not guarantee profitability in the next few years, and it might face the risk of delisting after listing.

……

Looking back at AI now, the attitude of investors is the most intuitive. Wu Shu, the founder of Qushi Capital, has been paying attention to AI since 2011. He told the alphabet list (ID:wujicaijing): "Many AI directions are promising and valuable, and business models have gradually emerged, butPart of AI was speculated by a group of irrational investment institutions in the early stage, which led to the high valuation deviating from the value, and continued investment became a take-over man. In the end, no one could take it."

Lu Qi, who is also an investor, not only admitted that he was overconfident, but also listed the investment projects he participated in, such as robotics, biotechnology, telecommuting and cloud computing technology.Only there is no unmanned driving.

The last time I responded to the question about driverless driving was in a late interview at the end of last year. When I was asked about the three most optimistic AI landing scenarios, Lu Qi only gave two answers-smart place and new mobile (robot driving).

Facing the reporter’s innuendo on the issue of unmanned driving, Lu Qi said:It is a long process for unmanned driving to completely land in commercialization.

Do you know how to eat spicy food more nutritious? Listen to the experts.

  Pepper originated in South America, and was brought back to Europe after Columbus discovery of america in the late 15th century, and was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty.

  Nowadays, peppers can be seen everywhere in our lives, also known as chili pepper, Spicy Horn, Sea Pepper, Pepper, Qin Pepper, etc. They can be eaten directly as vegetables, and can also be used as spices for seasoning various dishes. Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi and other provinces in China are all famous "no spicy, no happy" areas.

  In addition to raw or fried food, Chili powder, Chili oil, Chili sauce, chopped pepper and pickled pepper made of Chili are also popular ways to eat. Different varieties of pepper can present different colors, with red being the most common. The common varieties in China are Xiaomi pepper, Erjingtiao, Horn pepper, Horn pepper, Morning pepper, Lantern pepper and so on.

  How much do you know about "spicy" nutrition?

  1. vitamin c

  Speaking of the nutrition of pepper, the most commendable thing is its rich vitamin C, which is a leader in the vegetable industry.

  Green pepper contains 62 mg of vitamin C in 100 g, while small red pepper contains 144 mg of vitamin C in 100 g, which is 7 times that of tomatoes and 4 times that of oranges.

  Needless to say, the benefits of vitamin C have long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  2. Carotene

  Carotene in pepper is also rich, which helps to maintain the health of eyes and skin.

  3. Other nutrients

  In addition, small peppers also contain B vitamins, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium and other nutrients.

  4. Capsaicin

  Pepper is not only rich in nutrition, but also contains a unique class of active substances — — Capsaicin, that is, the spicy ingredient in pepper.

  A large number of studies show that capsaicin has many physiological functions, including stimulating appetite and promoting digestion; Protect gastric mucosa, prevent and treat gastric ulcer; Promote fat metabolism, reduce fat and lose weight; Analgesia, diminishing inflammation and relieving itching; Dispel wind and dampness, and protect joint health; Lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and protecting cardiovascular system; Anti-cancer and so on.

  With the function of capsaicin being gradually recognized, natural capsaicin and synthetic capsaicin extracted from pepper have become an important by-product of pepper and are widely used in food industry and medical field.

  How to "Surrender" the King of Vitamin C

  Pepper is a wonderful vegetable. People who love it are all hot and unhappy, and those who hate it avoid it. For those who can eat spicy food and love spicy food, pepper must be a frequent visitor at the table, but they may not eat spicy food.

  Why do you say that? As mentioned earlier, pepper is the king of vitamin C, but vitamin C is very unstable. If the cooking method is unreasonable, it will be easily destroyed. Therefore, it is not enough to say that the content is high, and it is the last word to eat it in the stomach.

  In order to destroy vitamin C in pepper as little as possible, raw food is a good choice. If you want to stir-fry, it is best to stir-fry quickly.

  Many people like to eat Chili products such as Chili sauce and Chili oil. This way of eating spicy food not only greatly reduces vitamins, but also easily ingests excessive salt, which is not healthy and should not be eaten more.

  After all, not everyone can enjoy the spicy pepper. What about people who can’t eat spicy pepper?

  In fact, when making cold salad, you can completely replace some peppers with sweet peppers. The content of capsaicin in sweet pepper is less, but the content of vitamin C and carotene is no less than that of pepper, and the colorful pepper can make people happy, especially for children, which is helpful to encourage them to eat more vegetables.

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: The agricultural and rural economy is stable and consolidated, and the supply of "vegetable basket" products is sufficient.

  Cctv newsOn July 20th, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference on the operation of agriculture and rural economy in the first half of the year.

  At the meeting, Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and director of the Development Planning Department, introduced that since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has made every effort to ensure the effective supply of "vegetable basket" products, focused on consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, and made overall plans to do all kinds of work in agriculture and rural areas. The agricultural and rural economy has been steadily strengthened and stabilized, which has provided strong support for the stable development of the national economy and the sustained stability of the overall social situation. Mainly in the following seven aspects:

  First,Summer grain output reached a record high.. Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has insisted on doing a good job in grain production as the primary task and the first responsibility. As soon as possible, it has broken down the annual grain production tasks to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and formulated plans for stabilizing and increasing grain production by varieties and regions. First, the area, yield and total output have achieved "three increases". This year, the area of summer grain increased by 3.982 million mu, reversing the downward trend for five consecutive years. The yield per mu was 367.7 kilograms, which was increased for three consecutive years, and the output was 291.6 billion kilograms, an increase of 5.93 billion kilograms over the previous year, both hitting record highs. The second is continuous quality optimization. The area of high-quality special wheat accounted for 37.3%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points over the previous year. Third, the harvest loss is reduced. The yield of wheat machinery exceeded 98%, and the loss rate of wheat machinery in the main producing areas decreased by more than 1 percentage point. In addition, the early rice harvest is nearly 70%, which also shows a trend of increasing production. The area of autumn grain has increased and its growth is normal, which has laid a good foundation for the annual grain harvest.

  Second,"Vegetable basket" products are in sufficient supply.. Strictly implement the overall responsibility of the province and the responsibility system of the mayor of the "vegetable basket", increase production guidance, strengthen the docking of production and marketing, and ensure a stable supply of the market. The production of live pigs has fully recovered. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, at the end of June, there were 45.64 million fertile sows in the country, equivalent to 102% at the end of 2017, and 439 million live pigs, recovering to 99.4% at the end of 2017. In the first half of the year, pork production was 27.15 million tons, up 35.9% year-on-year, and the supply and demand situation continued to improve. At the same time, the output of beef, mutton and poultry increased by 5.7%, the output of milk increased by 7.6% and the output of aquatic products increased by 4.4%. Vegetables and fruits are well supplied in the market, and prices fall seasonally.

  Third,Agricultural green transformation continued to advance.. The promotion of "three products and one standard" in agricultural production was carried out in depth, and the three-year action of "controlling illegal drugs, controlling residues and promoting promotion" of edible agricultural products was solidly promoted, and the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products continued to increase. The qualified rate of agricultural products sampling was stable at over 97%, and the cumulative number of green, organic and geographical indication agricultural products reached 56,200. The "ten-year ban on fishing" in the Yangtze River started well, with more than 6,800 ships involved in fishing and 186,000 illegal nets cleared and banned. The management order of the ban on fishing was generally stable, and the fishermen who returned to catch basically realized the employment change and the social security policy was fully implemented. The quality construction and protection of cultivated land were further strengthened, and more than 72 million mu of black land conservation tillage in Northeast China was implemented, exceeding the annual target of more than 2 million mu.

  Fourth,Rural industries have developed steadily.. Relying on agricultural and rural resources, we will extend the industrial chain, expand various functions of agriculture, and continuously promote the development of rural industries. In the first half of the year, 50 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 50 advantageous characteristic industrial clusters and 298 strong agricultural industrial towns were established. All localities have also increased investment, accelerated the development of industrial agglomeration, and developed "one township, one specialty" and "one village, one product" according to local conditions. The rural industry has shown a good development momentum. The added value of the national agricultural and sideline food processing industry increased by 10.7% year-on-year, and the average purchasing managers index (PMI) of the national key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization was 55.3%, 4.2 percentage points higher than that of the manufacturing industry. Rural leisure tourism has basically recovered to the same level in 2019, and online retail of agricultural products has maintained double-digit growth.

  Fifth,Farmers’ income increased rapidly.. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs insists on ensuring stable production and supply, increasing employment and income, and taking various measures to increase farmers’ income. In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents reached 9248 yuan, a real increase of 14.1% after deducting the price factor, which was 3.4 percentage points higher than the income growth rate of urban residents. The total number of migrant workers in rural areas and the income level have achieved double growth. The total number of migrant workers has reached 180 million, up 2.7% year-on-year, and the average monthly income has reached 4,290 yuan, up 17.6% year-on-year. At the same time, the characteristic industries in poverty-stricken areas have developed steadily, and the employment situation of poverty-stricken laborers is good, which has promoted more than 30.6 million people out of poverty to work. The income growth rate of poverty-stricken people continues to be higher than the national rural average.

  Sixth,Investment, consumption and import and export increased rapidly.. The scale of agricultural investment expanded, and the investment in fixed assets in the primary industry was 656.4 billion yuan, up 21.3% year-on-year, which was 5 and 10.6 percentage points faster than that in the secondary and tertiary industries respectively. Rural consumption rebounded steadily, and the retail sales of rural consumer goods reached 2,780.7 billion yuan, up 21.4% year-on-year, with an average growth of 4% in two years. The import and export of agricultural products grew rapidly, with the total import and export reaching US$ 146.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%. Among them, imports were US$ 108.11 billion, up 33.9% year-on-year, and exports were US$ 38.39 billion, up 9.2% year-on-year. The potential of domestic demand in rural areas has been continuously released, and its pulling effect on economic development has been continuously enhanced.

  Seventh,Rural construction has been solidly promoted.. Formulate the implementation plan of rural construction action, and define the objectives, key tasks, working mechanism and policy guarantee of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. We have promoted the improvement of rural human settlements in an orderly manner, organized village cleaning actions, and made overall plans to promote rural toilet improvement, domestic sewage and garbage treatment, creating a number of beautiful and livable villages. At the same time, we will continue to deepen rural reform, steadily push forward the second round of land contract and extend the pilot project for 30 years after it expires, and complete the reform of the joint-stock cooperative system of collective operating assets in 530 thousand villages. Strengthen and improve rural governance and introduce the rural revitalization promotion law.

  Generally speaking, the good situation of agricultural and rural economic development in the first half of the year laid a solid foundation for winning the bumper harvest of grain and agriculture throughout the year, and provided strong support for the "14 th Five-Year Plan" to make a good start. However, we should also see that the development of agricultural and rural economy still faces the threat of major pests and meteorological disasters, the risk of pig production market and epidemic situation, and the instability of international agricultural products market, which need to be solved by effective measures.

  Zeng Yande said that in the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, strengthen policies and measures, push forward stubble by stubble, pay close attention to implementation, ensure that the grain output will remain above 1.3 trillion Jin, resolutely hold the bottom line of preventing large-scale poverty return, and accomplish various goals and tasks of agricultural and rural development with high quality.

Bo Huang, the National Cinema Promotion Conference, recommended the domestic animation "Yesterday’s Blue Sky"


1905 movie network news Yesterday, the 16th National Cinema Domestic Film Promotion was successfully held in Qingdao. At the promotion meeting, more than 70 films from 22 film and television companies appeared one after another. Among them, the light striped house film industry with the development of domestic animation as the core has sprung up in many live-action film studios. Since its establishment in 2015, Striped House Film has held the top spot in the most profitable animation film company in China, and has successfully produced, (imported), and other high-quality works. In 2018, the striped house launched two works — — The first animated youth movie in China (released on August 10th) and the first fantasy adventure movie for teenagers in China (released on July 13th) also made major appearances at the promotion meeting. Whether the two movies can continue to be "brilliant" is very exciting. At the scene, actor Bo Huang also recommended two films.


As the works of the striped house in 2018, The Big Fish Begonia and The Great Protector, Yesterday’s Blue Sky and Charles IX also chose to enter the summer file of "competing for hegemony". From the aspects of characteristic theme, IP value, production content, etc., we have already glimpsed its "explosive potential".


The film "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" is the first domestic animated youth film. Many viewers and insiders regard "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" as a work that follows the "three major" series (The Return of the Great Sage, The Big Fish Begonia and The Great Protector) in 2018. At this promotion meeting, the famous actor Bo Huang said at the scene: "Yesterday’s Blue Sky is also a very hot IP, and everyone is looking forward to it." Yi Qiao, president of striped house film, showed the cinema and the media the first major feature of the film Yesterday — — Beauty. That is, "the most beautiful picture, the most beautiful music and the most beautiful sound". It is reported that the film intends to invite domestic popular idols and powerful actors to join the dubbing, and play the goal of "being super popular and super powerful"; In addition, in the music production part of the film, high-quality producers from China and Japan are invited to tailor songs and soundtracks for the film; More importantly, in terms of content production, the film is handed over to the top animation production companies in China to polish the quality. From the short 30-second informal preview released before, we can see that the film has strict requirements for film quality.


In addition to the characteristics of "beauty", the feeling of "domestic youth" in the film "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" is also very important. As a youth animation, the film is essentially different from the Japanese youth that the audience is familiar with, and it is an animation that truly belongs to Chinese memories of youth. As a domestic animation, Yesterday’s Blue Sky presents a fresh and beautiful "Chinese style", which is also different from the antique Chinese style of the "Big Three" series. It can be said that "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" also opened up a new type for domestic animated films.


The film is adapted from the top youth comics in China. From the first serial of comics in 2011 to the final film version in 2018 on August 10th, IP has been precipitated for eight years, and it has become a generation of memories of youth after 90 s and 00 s. This expectation is clearly reflected in the data: "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" has the highest peak in the history of Baidu Index, and the attention paid to the announcement is even higher than that of "Big Fish Begonia", and the audience’s expectations are getting higher and higher; On Cat’s Eye Movie, the most authoritative movie ticketing platform in China, the number of people who want to see the movie has exceeded 37,000 by the deadline, ranking second in summer movies. On the most popular short video platform in China, the preview of "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" was played as high as 22 million times, and 1.23 million people liked it. Excellent data from all channels make the film sit firmly in the most anticipated animated film in 2018.


Unlike previous animation works, the film Charles IX is the first real-life fantasy work to test the water in the striped house film industry. On the one hand, it is based on the confusing adventure theme of Charles IX. This theme fills the gap in the domestic "fantasy adventure for teenagers" movies. Looking around the world, films with similar themes, such as Harry Potter series and Hunger Games series, have achieved excellent results, so whether local films can be accepted by the audience is worth looking forward to and thinking about. Secondly, based on the huge IP value of the series of books: As the best-selling series of domestic youth literature works, Charles IX has sold more than 70 million copies since its publication in 2011, which is comparable to the sales of a dictionary (Three-body sold 6 million copies, Tomb Raider Notes sold 12 million copies and Harry Potter sold 20 million copies). The series of books has a very high coverage among teenagers aged 8-16, and it is the most popular youth cultural brand in China. It can be said that the film Charles IX has the largest and most accurate audience at present.


 At the event site, director Wang Jing first exposed the film and set the story background as a "supernatural" town in the 1990 s on the basis of retaining the original worldview. On the one hand, this adaptation can make the plot find a foothold in reality and arouse the audience’s resonance; On the other hand, the director himself is good at realistic films, and the previous work "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" has won good comments in the industry, so the adaptation can "avoid the risk of younger works". In addition, the director also said that Charles IX, as a visual blockbuster, also made great efforts in special effects. According to statistics, there are more than 1,000 special effects shots in the whole film, accounting for more than half of the viewing time of the whole film. The crew also filmed in Gansu, Qinghai and Beijing, striving to restore the original fantasy scene.


The film "Yesterday’s Blue Sky" will land in national cinemas on August 10th and "Charles IX" on July 13th.

2024 BMW i4E Drive 35-High-end and unique

High-end medium-sized car, unique

Apart from the blue body decoration and badge, ordinary observers will not know BMW i4. eDrive35It’s a model. This four-door sedan is not a car, but all-electric, and has the essence of a typical BMW for luxury travel. This means it looks very business.

There is not much decoration, only luxurious necessities. BMW independently developed 210 kW electric drive system, 180kW vehicle charging system and battery technology. It is proudly displayed and called eDrive, which embodies the company’s design language. The sealed batteries in the four modules are strategically bolted to the chassis, which increases the structure and balances the weight packaging. Everything is in its basic position and function.

I like this generation of kidney grille/buck teeth more and more. Automatic leveling is low-key but advanced in function. The shape of the 19-inch wheel conforms to the efficiency, which undoubtedly increases the cruising range by several kilometers, especially when the bottom is flat. And the cooling pipes and air spoilers on the fender and the rear diffuser add several kilometers of cruising range. The frameless door is bordered by beautifully shaped satin metal. Other than that, it has almost no decoration. On the whole, it is not an ugly outline of a luxury coupe. Its appearance is purposeful and tasteful.

In the quiet cabin, elegant and modern decoration is impressive. The standard electric adjustable seat allows you to find a comfortable driving position, especially with extended thigh support. Sensatec perforated interior looks and feels like leather.

The floor is almost flat, five seats have enough legroom, and everyone has a cup holder. The 12.3-inch digital dashboard and the 14.9-inch infotainment screen are large but inconspicuous. The slender central touch screen may be a little hard for the driver to reach, but the iDrive8.5 control wheel on the console makes any adjustment much easier.

Even simpler, because voice commands are available. Still based on the platform, the interface is more like a laptop than a smartphone. The menu is not that deep-you can select a function or mode without going deep into the menu. The Bluetooth connection of smart phones is automatically made after pairing, but wireless phone charging is only effective if there is no phone case.

There is no need to fiddle with wires, because the sound quality of is almost the same as that of wired connection: average. However, it is worth noting that the mute effect brought by the electric drive system allows you to listen to music better without generating too much background noise.

As expected, there is enough trunk space under the electric elevator door to accommodate the largest luggage you can carry.

When it is set to b, it will be better, because driving with a single pedal may be disturbing at first. When it slows down to re-inject more energy into the battery, you need to slowly release the throttle, just like performing a decisive action. If this is too laborious, there are two other less radical models to choose from.

To make it run normally, please switch the gear lever to D. Its MPGe is as high as 120(51 km/L) and it claims a cruising range of 430 km. This is achieved when the 70kWh battery runs at an average speed of 17-18kWh/100km. At home, you can charge with a level 2 charger with a maximum power of 11kW, and you can fully charge 100% in about 8 hours. RSA Motors Greenhills provides fast DC2 charging, and the remaining 50% power is charged to 94% in less than 30 minutes!

The BMW i4 eDrive35 is soft and comfortable to drive. It allows you to turn quickly, but this is not the way it drives. It is more suitable for leisurely travel without electric mileage anxiety.

Steering doesn’t feel as bad as some electric systems. In fact, the weight of the steering wheel will be well adapted to the driving mode. It operates like a real car.

Close-range and parking cameras and () are standard configurations. The entry-level i4 is equipped with all safety functions: adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, two-stage driver and passenger, collision warning assistance and driver alertness monitoring.

It is equipped with a keyless ignition starting system, USB-A and USB-C ports and a 12-volt socket! Electric cars are silent when driving, so BMW is equipped with IconicSounds, which is a set of () environmental electronic tracks. Just when you think everything is serious, when you slam on the acceleration or battery regeneration, it will make an audible and tangible buzz, which will bring a little childish fun. In the economic mode, it is like being in a well-insulated cockpit. For sports mode, it is more attractive. You know it’s analog, not from, but it’s somehow soothing, in sharp contrast to the ghostly and weird silence of electric cars.

It doesn’t use explosion-proof tires or spare tires to add weight, but comes standard with an emergency tire repair kit. At the same time, when parking in a dark place, the peripheral approach lights are very useful.

BMW is preparing to produce more electric cars in the future, and i4 is a convincing choice for managers or professionals who are hesitant to buy electric cars in the garage. Of course, there are more powerful or cheaper electric cars to choose from, but they don’t have driving power, a series of elegant functions, or, more importantly, a circular badge to convey the driver’s identity. Also consider this: the battery warranty is eight years, the vehicle warranty is four years, and the service is free for six years. Not bad at all.
