China
Recently, the heated discussion among the whole people on & quot; China Core & quot; has continued. In this regard, Zeng Xuezhong, global executive vice president of Ziguang group and CEO of Ziguang zhanrui, said that the next 10 years will be the era of artificial intelligence, 5g and AI will break out, and the driving force of technological change will also come from chips.
He stressed that no matter how the economy develops in the next 10 years, chips are indispensable. &"If steel is the foundation of the industrial age, the chip is the foundation of the digital age. The whole semiconductor industry determines the development trend of the world in the future. ”
According to the "2018q1 special report on China's chip industry market" released by AI media consulting, China's integrated circuit output has reached 156.46 billion pieces in 2017, an increase of 18.7% compared with that in 2016. With the strengthening of national attention to the chip industry and the future R & D resources investment of enterprises, institutes and other institutions, China's IC output will still show a rapid growth state in the future.
China is currently the world's largest and fastest growing market, and Chinese companies have already occupied two places in the 2017 global top 10 chip design rankings & mdash; purple light zhanrui and Huawei Hisilicon.
It is understood that from 2G, 3G to 4G and then to 5g, Ziguang zhanrui has always adhered to independent innovation. In 2018, zhanrui launched sc9850kh chip platform, which is the first independent domestic CPU chip to realize commercial application in China, and the first 4G chip platform with independent intellectual property rights embedded in CPU key technology. Meanwhile, zhanrui also launched the first 8-core artificial intelligence chip platform sc9863, which lowered the threshold for mass consumers to enter 5g and AI.
Zeng Xuezhong said that chip design is the top of the whole chip industry, and its contribution to the industry and the industry is 1:10:100. A chip of 1 yuan can leverage the value of 100 yuan in the industry, which is why chip design is important as a leader in the integrated circuit industry. The world is flat and parallel. In the future, the global semiconductor market should develop in parallel. You have me, I have you, and the whole world is one.
It is reported that this year, zhanrui has launched the global leading strategy of 5g chip in the R & D of 5g chip, and has successively reached strategic cooperation with China Mobile, Intel, Huawei, Shide technology, Rhode and Schwarz. It plans to launch the first 5g chip in 2018 and the first 5g mobile phone platform for commercial use in the second half of 2019, so as to realize the synchronous marketing of 5g mobile network deployment.

Can the little y...
In the rumors and refutation of rumors, the yellow car shows the ups and downs of the bicycle sharing industry.
It is not the first time that the news about the tight financial chain of small yellow cars has been spread out. In rumors and refutations, xiaohuangche shows the ups and downs of the bicycle sharing industry.
On June 4, media reports said that ofo small yellow cars were facing difficulties such as tight capital chain and large-scale layoffs. The number of layoffs this time will be the largest in the history of ofo, with the overall layoff rate of the headquarters reaching 50%, and there is a possibility of further expansion. The layoffs involve all of the business lines of ofo, including business teams and functional departments. Among them, there are 80 people in the supply chain team, and the layoff rate is 60%, which means that only 32 people are retained in the supply chain.
At the same time, there will be dramatic changes in management. Zhang Yanqi, head of overseas marketing, left the company and the whole overseas department was dissolved. At the same time, senior vice president Nan Nan in charge of marketing and public relations business and Yang Xun, director of public relations content, also left the company.
Overseas business will not be scrapped
In response to this, an internal employee of ofo told first finance that Nannan had indeed left, but mainly for personal reasons. Zhang Yanqi has not left the company. Recently, there has been a major organizational restructuring within the company, and Zhang Yanqi may be responsible for the blockchain business.
The company has not heard about the large-scale layoffs of the company. Judging from the company's large wechat group, the number of employees has increased from about 3000 to about 2800 since the Chinese New Year. There is no reported proportion of layoffs. &The above employees told first finance.
Immediately after the incident, ofo co-founder Yu Xin responded in the circle of friends, saying that the news of COO's resignation was inconsistent and the dissolution of overseas business was untrue. With regard to the issue of layoffs mentioned in the report, Yu Xin said that it was not easy to clarify the matter, and it was only given time to prove that there was someone behind the matter. Yang Xun, one of the parties involved in the rumor, also responded in the circle of friends, saying that he did not leave his post.
Although the ofo side denies the management earthquake and large-scale layoffs, from the discord between ofo and Didi, the departure of three senior executives to ofo bypassing didi mortgage bike to borrow 1.77 billion yuan from Alibaba for blood supplement, and the rejection of Didi's acquisition offer was exposed to pay cuts and layoffs, reflecting the financial and operational pressure of ofo to a certain extent.
No matter whether it is the bankruptcy fate of Xiaolan and Xiaoming bicycle, or Moby's ultimate & quot; arm can't twist the thigh & quot;, there is no clear profit model and positive cash flow, which makes it difficult for bike sharing enterprises to operate independently.
In the early days of bike sharing, the founding team and even investors once believed that the cost could be recovered and profits could be realized by relying on rent. Dai Wei, founder of ofo, once calculated an account: at present, each car can bring about 5-10 yuan of income, and the cost of ofo bicycle is less than 300 yuan. If the depreciation is calculated according to the 12-month scrapping, the daily depreciation is less than 1 yuan. Each operation and maintenance personnel is responsible for about 300 vehicles, with a daily salary of 100 yuan, and the cost of a day is less than 1 yuan. Overall, the gross profit is 70% ~ 80% about.
But with the help of capital, the change parameters in the real competition field are far more complicated than this account.
After several bicycle companies have launched "deposit free" and "free" models, it is not realistic to make profits only by rent. &"Bike sharing business model is established, but the valuation is too high. In the absence of management, rent free mode is difficult to continue in the first and second tier cities, and the deposit run is also very serious. &The former CEO of Xiaoming bicycle, Chen Yuying, once told first finance and economics.
Capital tightening, high management, operation and maintenance costs, only relying on a single rent income is difficult to bring considerable profits. After the new year, Moby and ofo yellow cars stopped the price war. Ofo even launched commercial car body ads and launched open screen ads on app.
According to the publication examples, the resource data provided by ofo is & quot; 15 million bicycles, covering 250 million users & quot; while the advertising price of brand customized body is 2000 yuan / month, and the open screen advertising price is 100-120 yuan, starting from 1000cpm. On the pulse of the third-party workplace social software, the reporter also found that there are many employees of ofo B2B business unit in promoting advertising business.
But in the actual promotion, the brand owners are still worried about the effect of car body advertising. &"On the one hand, the advertising space is relatively narrow. Many sharing bicycles parked on the roadside are covered with psoriasis advertisements, which will reduce the effect. At the same time, mobile advertising should also consider the environmental safety of the brand. &A senior advertising figure told reporters.
The more direct risk comes from the policy. Cities including Beijing and Shanghai have already banned commercial advertisements on vehicles. The revenue growth brought by advertisements is not optimistic.
Hand to hand
New changes are brewing in the bike sharing market, among which giants are the biggest variable.
Harrow bicycle, which was also invested by Ali department, once again received an investment of 2 billion yuan from ant financial services. According to the announcement of Yong'an bank, the joint-stock company's low-carbon technology has obtained a capital increase of 2.06 billion yuan, of which Shanghai Yunxin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ant financial services, will increase its shareholding ratio of low-carbon technology from 27.6% to 36.7%; Yong'an bank's shareholding ratio will decrease from 10.2% to 8.9%, which is the second largest shareholder, and the overall valuation of low-carbon technology is no less than 14.3%68 million US dollars.
Low carbon technology is the main operating body after the merger of harrow bicycle and Yong'an bank. In the past half a year, harrow bicycle has completed four rounds of financing, with a total financing amount of more than 1.5 billion US dollars. The scale and speed of financing are in sharp contrast with that of the whole industry. Ant financial services led the investment in three rounds of financing, becoming the largest shareholder of harrow bicycle.
After missing the traffic entrance brought by the taxi fight, Ali will not miss the huge offline scene of bicycle. Since March, harrow bicycle has adopted a national sesame credit deposit free strategy, which has become an important tool for Ali to promote payment tools. From the industry's point of view, as two important pieces of Ali family's bicycle sharing, ant financial service's frequent blessing on harrow's bicycle has promoted its strategic position.
On the other hand, ofo, which has been seeking independent development, is trying to establish its own credit system. Previously, ofo and sesame credit co operated to launch a credit deposit free policy in 25 cities across the country. Now, only 5 cities, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen, can use the credit deposit free policy. In other cities, users need to buy 95 yuan & amp; welfare package & amp; before they can continue to enjoy the deposit free service. The 95 yuan & amp; welfare package & nbsp; is directly charged into the account balance. After consumption, users need to purchase again.

In the face of a...
When I was a child, the most common sentence I heard from my parents was: "you don't understand! You'll understand when you grow up. ”
With my intelligence quotient of five years old, I translate this sentence into: get out of here.
My heart is not satisfied, adults judge a thing's logic, can't really explain to children? A sense of humiliation arises from being treated as mentally retarded...
This kind of thing happens repeatedly in life. For example, after many years, a sister looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "you don't understand! And then turn around and disappear into the sunset, the Maserati. Left me pushing my bike silently, I can't miss it.
Many years later, I found this fact: your friends, relatives, lovers, people you cherish and rely on, when he says "for you! &You don't understand! &Listen to me! &Most of the time, it's because you can't give you an explanation that makes you understand and believe.
Have you seen et? Communication between two people is no easier than that between a person and an alien. You can savor...
However, I want to say after all:
It is better to say "I love you" than to say "I know you";.
It's our instinct to try to understand. In fact, it's hard to understand a person; it's hard to understand an artificial intelligence.
In the next five minutes, we will discuss two science fiction questions
1. Is it possible for us to understand every decision of AI?
2. If so, how do we understand AI?
Xing Xinyu
Xing Xinyu is today's master. This professor at Penn State University, working with Jingdong security, is trying to use algorithms to explain every decision of AI. (as for why it is cooperating with Jingdong security, you will understand it when you see the back.)
Let's ROCK
1. Can we really understand AI?
First of all, correct the misunderstandings of most people
If you think that people can understand every decision made by AI as well as they can understand & quot; 1 + 1 = 2 & quo. So congratulations, please pay attention to the light black technology and continue to clock in tomorrow.
In fact, most of the decisions made by artificial intelligence are incomprehensible to human beings. Even the scientists who made them the AI's "Mom and Dad" can't understand.
You might say, Nani? How can you not understand the man-made things?
For example, when our ancestors invented drilling wood for fire, they didn't really understand the principle of combustion. First use, then understand, this is the law of our understanding of the world.
Take an example that most people know:
Alfagou, the most famous AI go master.
In the specific game, the scientist's father only set a goal for him to win the game, but he did not stipulate that the afar dog must follow the human routine. Of course, it is precisely because of this that it is possible that & quot; green is better than blue & quot; and destroy Ke Jie's big chess dregs.
The decision-making process of artificial intelligence is just like this man drawing a picture. Onlookers will feel "inexplicable" throughout the whole process. You won't realize it until the last second.
The conclusion is as follows
From a certain point of view, the level of artificial intelligence has exceeded the human brain too much. How to understand artificial intelligence (AI) is actually an international problem.
If you just play chess with AI, if you don't understand, you won't understand. However, AI is becoming more and more popular. This thing that we can't understand begins to surround our life. Just like a friend, he always wears a mask to talk to you, which makes people feel numb when they think about it.

Those queuing an...
If you've participated in the flash sale of Apple's new products, or queued up to buy Air Jordan and yeezy limited edition shoes, you won't be unfamiliar with the hot atmosphere of pop up store activities. Hundreds of users lined up in a long queue, full of tension, can't wait to get started with the latest flagship one plus six. All over the world, people from all over the world have participated in this feast to feel the atmosphere of gathering because of their love.Unique "one plus phenomenon";Recently, one plus six offline pop up events were held in 26 cities in 11 countries, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu. According to one plus mobile social media data, more than 15000 people participated in the event worldwide, which was warmly welcomed by users. In Germany, some users have been waiting for a full 17 hours. In New York pop up, the first users to come to the scene have waited for 11 hours. In Bangalore, India, consumers' enthusiasm for one plus six has even made them forget the fact that they are queuing in the rain.In Bangalore, India, thousands of people lined up in the rain to buy a planeIt is worth mentioning that the pop up flash store activity of Yijia has been carried out abroad before. At present, domestic users have not formed a forming cognition of its "flash store activity". This is the first pop up held in China. Relying on its strong influence on users, Yijia has attracted a large number of fans to queue up to buy. This is a rare new experience for domestic consumers. After all, the domestic queuing up to buy new mobile phone products only happened to fruit powder in the past, which is rarely seen in domestic mobile phone manufacturers. However, Yijia has achieved this goal, and its unique "one plus phenomenon" has been formed due to the global popularity;.Once pop up was introduced into China for the first time, it triggered a large-scale queuing boomLiu zuohu, CEO of Yijia, also said on social media: "this is the largest and most influential worldwide pop up event ever held by Yijia mobile phone. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of global users, Yijia is growing rapidly. ”In fact, the pop up event has been held for four years. As early as 2015, Yijia mobile phone first launched pop up store activity in New York Times Square, which attracted a long queue of local users. Since then, every pop up store event launched by Yijia mobile phone has attracted a large number of users around the world to rush to buy. After four years of development, pop up store activities have become a tradition of one plus, and the upsurge of global users queuing up to buy new machines has gradually evolved into a unique "one plus phenomenon";.Only make high-quality productsBoth at home and abroad, Yijia shows its unique charm. In fact, the "one plus" phenomenon revealed by pop up is the inevitable result of its long-term adherence to the high-quality line.One is that there are few enterprises in the Android mobile phone camp who insist on launching only one or two flagship products each year. Liu zuohu, CEO of Yijia mobile phone Co., Ltd.As the largest product manager of Yijia, Liu zuohu says he can't stand the products with "average appearance and average performance". &"I'm really not good at making a product with a preset product cost in a card slot, which is not in line with our product concept. Every time I plan and add products, I always think about how to bring the best technology and technology to you. What I like and pursue is always high-quality products. &Liu zuohu said at the one plus six press conference.

Bill Gates said ...
Bill Gates, a multibillion dollar philanthropist, spends heavily on vaccines and aid programs, but he also knows that money can't buy more knowledge.
So every summer (and during holidays), gates shares a reading list, introducing eye opening concepts in the name of beach books. It's no secret, but Gates pretends to be surprised every year. He wrote on his personal blog Gates Notes: 'when I put together this summer's list of recommended books, I found that several of them dealt with major issues. ”
In fact, this year, he has listed several core questions that readers can find answers to. &What is the secret of genius? Why don't good people pay off? Where do humans come from and where do they go? ”
The following bibliography seems to answer these questions in order. From the biography of Leonardo da Vinci, the Memoirs of a woman fighting cancer, to the Fictional Narration of one night of Abraham Lincoln's life through the mouth of ghosts, and even a book explaining the origin and development of life. With only four themes covered, consider book 5 a clarion call for action. The author is Hans Rosling, a global health expert who died last year. It goes back to explore some experiences and lessons, and more directly states that everyone has the ability to do more good deeds for the world.
Leonardo da Vinci
Author: Walter Isaacson
[cover photo: Simon & Schuster]
As the most respected painter and thinker in the world, Leonardo da Vinci basically learned by himself. The technical limitations of more than 500 years ago did not limit his conjecture about the operation principle of the world. As gates wrote, "when he is eager to learn something, whether through the blood flow from the heart or the shape of the woodpecker's tongue, he observes closely, notes down his thoughts, and tries to find out the answer. &Curiosity is more valuable than ever, especially in the Internet age.
Everything happens for a reason and other lies I & rsquo; ve loved
Author: Kate Bowler
[Penguin cover]
When a Duke Divinity School professor was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, she tried to accept the randomness of the accident and how to control it eventually. Gates believes that & quot; some & lsquo; why & quot; can't give a satisfactory answer with facts. &In his view, the book illustrates the risk of overemphasizing causal thinking. He grew up in a Mennonite family who believed that firm faith often paid off. Such a growing environment gives her a humorous, helpless and valuable perspective.
Lincoln in the Bardo
By George Saunders
[cover photo: Penguin Random House]
The premise of this fantasy novel is as unconventional as the style of writing. The story takes place overnight, at the beginning of the American Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln comes to the cemetery where his recently deceased 11 year old son was buried. Later, ghosts appear, and the story is mainly unfolded in a dialogue similar to the script. As gates wrote, "the president has come to realize that he sent other people's sons to the battlefield to die for his country, creating tragedy for other families.". He has to make a choice. Should the war continue? If so, how can we ensure that the final result is worth such a heavy price? ”
Origin story: a big history of everything
Author: David Christian
[cover photo: little & Brown, Brown and Company)]
Historian David Christian is good at explaining the complex world history in simple and easy to understand, so his 2011 Ted lecture on history has been viewed more than 8 million times. This book is a further extension of this ability. As gates wrote in his book review, Christian pays more attention to the beginning of change, such as explaining the physics and chemistry of the big bang, and the biology and anthropology behind the evolution of humans from single celled organisms to more recognizable primates. For inspired teachers, parents or lifelong learners, Gates also recommends Christian's free online courses.
Truth
Authors: Hans & middot; Rosling; Ola Rosling; Anna Rosling ronlund
As early as April, gates recommended the book and wrote a separate review highlighting its great inspiration for future reformers. Gates wrote at the time that most of the book is devoted to 10 instincts that prevent humans from seeing the world in a factual light, from the fear instinct (we focus more on the terrible things) to the scale instinct (independent data tends to look more impressive than the actual) to the separation instinct (most people are in between). For each instinct, he offers practical advice on how to overcome our inborn prejudices. ”
Finally, of course, there is a classic summary of gates: for many people around the world, life is really improving. But to move forward, we need a lot of imagination, inspiration and input.
