Apple iPhone will use foldable screen in the future; Baidu will challenge "The Brain" with Baidu Brain | Lei Feng Morning News

Apple's future iPhone will use foldable screens provided by LG

TechWeb

According to Korean media ETNews, LG is developing foldable screens and is preparing to provide them to several companies including Apple, Microsoft and Google.

In fact, foldable phones and devices have been exposed for some time. Apple and Google have similar products, and Samsung has also exposed patents. The only screen manufacturer that can compete with Samsung in this field is probably LG. Sources said that the screen will be provided to other companies in 2018, which means that it is very likely that similar products will be launched during the iPhone 8 period.

However, considering the time and money Apple has invested in OLED screens as well as the speed of iteration, this folding screen product may not necessarily be the iPhone 8. It may be used on a later iPhone, or even a new product may be launched.

The first Beijing maglev train departs for Beijing S1 line

Beijing Times

According to Xinhua News Agency, a reporter from CRRC Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. learned that yesterday, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei rail transit cooperation ushered in new results. The first "Linglong" medium- and low-speed maglev train for Beijing S1 line developed by CRRC Tangshan Company completed debugging in Tangshan and was sent to Beijing S1 Line Shimenying Depot by road.

The "Linglong" medium- and low-speed maglev train uses the attraction of electromagnets and a special rail-holding design to make the train "float" in the air. The linear motor drives the vehicle to run smoothly, without derailment or rollover. It is frictionless, has zero emissions, and is low in noise. The combined cost of the vehicle and line is 33% lower than that of the subway and 25% lower than that of the medium-capacity light rail. It saves the cost of mechanical parts wear and maintenance, and has a lower life cycle cost. The train can adapt to windy, sandy, rainy, and snowy weather operations. Its climbing ability is twice that of similar urban rail products. Its minimum turning radius is only 75 meters. It can quietly shuttle through urban buildings and achieve seamless "door-to-door" connection.

Russia develops super laptop that can be used in minus 50 degrees Celsius

Global Technology

According to the Russian "Regnum" news website on December 13, Russia's "T Platform" company is designing and developing a super laptop that is waterproof, shock-resistant and shock-resistant, and can also cope with extreme heat and cold. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has allocated 150 million rubles (about 17.062 million yuan) as funding to the company.

According to the company, the research launched two programs at the same time, one of which was developed based on Intel's x86 program, and the other was based on the "Baikal-M" program of Russia's "Baikal Electronics" company.

Company representatives said that individuals and companies living and working in extreme environments will need this super notebook, which can work in environments ranging from -50 degrees Celsius to +50 degrees Celsius. In addition, oil and gas companies, drilling companies, geological exploration teams, production workshops, Siberia and primeval forest areas also need this notebook.

Baidu's version of "Man vs. Machine": Baidu Brain will be launched to challenge "The Brain"

Sina Technology

On the afternoon of December 17, Baidu and Jiangsu Satellite TV jointly announced that they will add a "Man vs. Machine" competition segment involving Baidu Brain's artificial intelligence to the fourth season of "The Brain," which will premiere on January 6, 2017.

This time, Baidu implanted the artificial intelligence technology of "Baidu Brain" into the robot "Xiaodu", and scheduled three matches with the Hall of Fame contestants, mainly in face recognition and voice recognition. The first three man-machine battles adopted a best-of-three system. If Baidu Brain wins the first three games, it will directly participate in the final brain king competition.

Baidu Chairman and CEO Robin Li said in a video, "If the strongest brain represents the limit of human brain power, then Baidu Brain represents the highest level of artificial intelligence. Regardless of whether we win or lose, we will make a groundbreaking contribution to the development of artificial intelligence technology."

UN plans to discuss ban on 'killer robots' next year

The United Nations recently announced that representatives of more than 100 countries that have signed the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons will discuss the issue of banning "killer robots" next year. At the five-year review meeting held in Geneva recently, the 123 countries of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons agreed to cooperate in addressing the threat of non-human controlled weapons to humans. Previously, experts pointed out that humans now only have one year to prevent the birth of "killer robots".

Steve Goose, co-founder of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, said: “This conference in Geneva is an important step towards stopping the development of killer robots, but time is running out. Once these weapons appear, it will be impossible to stop them. Now is the time to take pre-emptive action.”

At this five-year review conference, the States Parties agreed to discuss the ban on lethal AI weapons at the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva in 2017. The negotiations will begin in April or August next year, and 88 countries have agreed to send representatives to participate.

Yahoo's 1 billion user data is now on sale online for $300,000

Yahoo has been in the most embarrassing situation in the past two years because of the leakage of user information. At first, they did not admit that so much data was leaked, but this week they were forced to admit that they were hacked and about 1 billion accounts were leaked.

Now the evidence of this incident is more sufficient, because about 1 billion accounts are being sold on the dark web. The news comes from the New York Times, which reports that the data of these 1 billion users is priced at up to $300,000. Some people are willing to pay to get this data, and the situation is very bleak.

There are currently at least three buyers. Andrew Komarov, chief information officer of security company InfoArmor, said that two of them are "spam giants" and the other buyer may be more dangerous and may plan to use these 1 billion accounts to launch similar espionage attacks.
