Let Mobile Photography Say Farewell to "Digital Taste" —— The Story Behind Xiaomi × Leica Image Quality Experience Improvement Project

Let Mobile Photography Say Goodbye to "Digital Taste"

—— The story behind Xiaomi × Leica Image Quality Experience Improvement Project

□ Our reporter Peng Xie

"Is it correct to make the night scene as bright as the day? At night, is there at least a’ night sense’? " This is a question raised by Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Company in Weibo. In fact, it is not difficult to brighten the night scene for the current mobile image photography equipment, but it is not easy to restore the "night feeling" seen by the eyes.

In the eyes of the industry, "lighting up the night scene" is the inevitable result of some mobile phone manufacturers’ over-reliance on computational photography and post-optimization, with the aim of lowering the threshold for taking a "good" photo. These so-called "good" photos are brighter than the colors seen by the eyes, brighter than the real light, and the details are still clear when magnified several times. But in the eyes of photographers and enthusiasts, there is an unreal "digital taste".

Say goodbye to the taste of digital and return to the real world of light and shadow, which is what users expect from the image experience. In July, 2022, Xiaomi Company announced the strategic cooperation with Leica, the leading brand in the global imaging field, to realize the original Leica image experience on the mobile phone, form Xiaomi’s unique image quality style, and redefine "good photos". Behind it, it is Xiaomi people’s diligent pursuit of image quality style and the ultimate exploration of digitizing style.

Call up the user’s favorite "Leica flavor"

For more than 100 years, Leica cameras have formed a unique "Leica flavor" by virtue of exquisite optical engineering design and powerful manufacturing technology. After a year-long in-depth communication with Leica, Xiaomi explored the key elements of "Leica flavor"-three-dimensional tone, telepresence color and soft and realistic details.

But this is far from enough. The real "Leica taste" is not counted by Leica, nor by Xiaomi, but by users.

The project team spent a lot of time and energy to screen out a group of professional photographers and enthusiasts who are familiar with Leica and agree with Xiaomi, conduct in-depth interviews, and define the Leica style in the eyes of users through the comparison and selection of a large number of proofs. The process of deep communication with users is like building a city of light and shadow, brick by brick, interlocking and striving for perfection, just to make professional photography simpler and images more realistic.

In this process, the project team made a new discovery-on the basis of ensuring authenticity and naturalness, many users also like the samples with fuller and sharper colors compared with the original Leica samples. Therefore, the project team decided to develop two styles of "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" simultaneously. The former perfectly reproduces the imaging style of Leica camera, abandons the effect of forcibly brightening the traditional mobile phone image, makes the darkness dark, and the color is full of "German flavor"; On the basis of maintaining accurate restraint, the latter moderately brightens and adjusts the saturation of the picture, showing bright and sharp tones and vivid and full colors.

After the dual-style route was clear, the project team and Leica reached a consensus, and the raw images of Leica M series cameras were used as input, and intelligent processing was carried out through machine learning algorithm. Dynamic brightening technology, deepAWB technology, extreme image quality technology and efficient computing technology were innovatively used to create a material library for hundreds of subdivided scenes such as portraits, blue sky, sunset, green plants and flowers, and all the materials were disassembled according to the dimensions of exposure, contrast, color and noise.

The quality of images is not only a standard, but also a promise to users. In the technical adjustment, the project team chose the most difficult and least tricky way-brand-new pipeline and parameter design, and distinguished "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" from the bottom parameters. It is several orders of magnitude more difficult to do this than to adjust the surface parameters, and it also brings huge workload to the later adaptation, but only in this way can "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" truly achieve their own wonderful.

Taking the birthday cake as an example, Leica Classic adopts neutral white balance to make the picture and color more calm and objective. "Leica Vivid" uses white balance parameters that are more suitable for human eyes and emotions to enhance the sense of atmosphere and make the picture warmer, "equivalent to adding a warm filter to the picture".

Let the public take good photos at will.

Optical problems must be solved in an optical way. In the cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica, the two sides have a consensus that excessive use of computational photography due to insufficient optical quality will cause irreversible damage to the picture, which is tantamount to quenching thirst by drinking poison. This means that Xiaomi is going to change or even subvert the aesthetic habits that the public has long cultivated by "computational photography" and "post-optimization". Photographer Huang Cao questioned: "It takes a lot of courage and determination. Will there really be mobile phone manufacturers who dare to do this?"

In June, 2022, Xiaomi invited 25 professional photographers, including Huangcao, to attend a closed-door communication meeting, and took out the unreleased 12s Ultra engineering machine for trial use. The purpose was to let everyone judge whether this mobile phone was "Leica" or not.

After taking a few photos with Xiaomi 12s Ultra engineering machine, the weeds feel that the texture is completely different from that taken with a mobile phone. Li Yue, the product manager of Xiaomi Camera Department, was surprised by a car photo taken by a photographer. "It’s better than I expected!" He said.

At this closed meeting, Xiaomi collected some opinions and suggestions from photographers, including the problem of "white balance adjustment of multi-focus switching" put forward by weeds-when shooting the sea with a short-focus lens of a mobile phone and a small boat in the sea with a telephoto lens, the color of the sea surface will be deviated due to different focal lengths. For ordinary users, this is a subtle difference that needs careful comparison to find, but for photographers, it is an unavoidable problem.

Li Yue and his colleagues believe that these 25 photographers are heavy users of Leica, and the problems they found may not be the most sensitive and concerned by ordinary users, but they are very critical to the image quality and Leica style, and have a "high priority". Although it is difficult to change, they are willing to face the difficulties. "Our goal is to let the public take good photos and get the best photography experience, so the first thing we have to do is to tell everyone what a good photo is." They said.

Subsequently, according to the photographer’s opinion, the project team set up a special group such as "multi-camera consistency" to focus on tackling key problems, from camera adaptation to chip debugging, and make all-round improvement. When Xiaomi 12s Ultra was officially released, Huangcao was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiaomi had solved almost all the problems mentioned at the press conference. "In addition to the rapid improvement, Xiaomi’s emphasis on photographers’ ideas is also very touching." He said.

Thanks to the efforts of the project team, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, the latest flagship of humanities imaging specialty released in 2023, was officially defined as a "fantastic historical work" by Leica, and the praise rate of the self-operated flagship store in JD.COM was over 99%. It is Xiaomi people’s persistent pursuit of "quality" to take users as the center and take user satisfaction as the goal, so that users can take pictures of the most beautiful scenery at will. Saying goodbye to "digital taste" and returning to "optical taste" is Xiaomi’s pursuit of moving images and the definition of "good photos", which has been verified in Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

The cooperation was praised by the German team

Xiaomi joined hands with Leica, which promoted the deep cooperation and mutual appreciation of engineers from two different countries. It is precisely because Xiaomi and Leica attach equal importance to the user’s experience and actual needs, pay more attention to quality from the user’s point of view, and pay more attention to aesthetics and humanistic feelings, so the cooperation between the two sides will be so efficient and successful.

In the cooperation, the dedication and seriousness of Leica engineers left a deep impression on Xiaomi engineers.

At the beginning of the cooperation, Xiaomi sent a Xiaomi 11 Ultra mobile phone to Florian, a Leica camera expert, and happened to meet Florian on vacation. Unexpectedly, in the first week after he came back from vacation, he sent a 128-page image quality evaluation report PPT-the result of his vacation with his mobile phone.

Before each meeting with Xiaomi, Leica engineers will communicate relevant information, reports or target maps internally. After the meeting, they will hold another round of resumption and planning meeting. Minutes of each meeting are very detailed and can be issued immediately after the meeting; Reports and materials used in the meeting will also be sent out before 24: 00 on time.

Every time the Xiaomi project team puts forward a product functional requirement, the Leica team will "ask three questions"-do users really need it? What benefits does this have for users? How to improve the effect of taking pictures? "Treating every question of users with caution and echoing everything is also a tacit understanding that we complement each other with the Leica team." An engineer of the Xiaomi team said.

In cooperation, collision is inevitable. According to Li Yue’s recollection, the project has to complete Leica certification for more than 200 sub-items including basic scenes and special scenes. For the Xiaomi team who is good at "grabbing time", so many projects should have "priority" to ensure that the most important problems are solved in the shortest time. But in the eyes of German engineers, every project is equally important and should go hand in hand.

In order to convince German engineers, Li Yue took advantage of the convenience of living in the same community with them, and took a walk with Leica engineer Florian at the weekend, explaining why he should give priority while walking. Walking for more than two hours, German engineers told Li Yue a message from all dimensions-NO (No), which made Li Yue unable to refute.

To Li Yue’s surprise, as soon as he started work on Monday, the German team produced a report of more than 200 pages, analyzed the importance of each certification project, and determined the problems and objectives to be solved in each project. The two sides discussed the report from morning till late at night, and finally determined the "priority" of each project. Strict management and strict requirements in research and development are the consensus of the two teams. Only by being strict and sincere can we be worthy of making friends with users.

It is said that people with the same gas field will attract each other, and the engineer culture respected by Xiaomi has made the German team find a full sense of belonging. The dedication of Xiaomi’s team won the respect and recognition of German engineers, and also changed their working methods imperceptibly.

For example, in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, the two sides often have to discuss for most of the meeting, which often delays eating. As a result, the Leica team quickly developed the habit of bringing their own energy bars and chocolates to the meeting. For another example, at the beginning of the cooperation, Leica HR agreed that they should not work more than 7 hours a day, but after arriving in Xiaomi, they unconsciously adapted to Xiaomi’s working mode and even blurred the "concept" of vacation, and they would also do shooting tests and reports on weekends. "No one asked them to do this. I think this is a kind of like-mindedness." Li Yue said.

Youth is fleeting, but style lasts forever.

Leica is far more beautiful than it looks at first sight. It is durable, and you can look at it again-this is Leica’s confidence.

Clearly know and insist on what to do and what not to do, without losing focus and being disturbed by noise-this is Xiaomi’s certainty.

Simpler and purer, Xiaomi’s understanding of a good photo has also become Xiaomi’s unique image quality style through excellent lens and precise interactive solidification, making future moving images more "millet flavor". This cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica has been well received, which is a model of the perfect combination of innovation and quality of Xiaomi.

Huang Lei: Writing a Long Journey with Struggle-State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council

In China Guangdong Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., which belongs to China General Nuclear Power Group (CGNPC), there is such a "smart" runner. He has studied hard and kept improving, and gradually grew from an ignorant college graduate to a technological master in the field of nuclear reactor equipment installation in China. He is Huang Lei, the winner of the May 1st Labor Medal.

Welding gives off dazzling white arc light, and cutting sparks that are blazing red … These unbearable scenes for ordinary people are the most intimate daily life for Huang Lei, who has been installing nuclear reactor equipment for 15 years. The installation of nuclear reactor equipment is the core project of nuclear power plant construction. Huang Lei, who has always been rooted in the front line, has been in this position for 15 years and has experienced many nuclear power projects such as Ling ‘ao, Hongyanhe, Yangjiang and Fangchenggang. Today, Huang Lei has gradually grown from an ignorant college graduate to an excellent project builder. He said that truly mastering the installation technology of China people’s own nuclear power core field and doing a good job in the nuclear power engineering of the motherland is his unchanging initial intention.

Students who surpass the "master"

Ling ‘ao Phase II nuclear power project, located in Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base, adopts China’s improved PWR nuclear power technology CPR1000, which is the first self-built million-kilowatt PWR nuclear power plant in China. The construction technology of nuclear power plant is difficult, and the responsibility of nuclear safety is heavy. The complexity and difficulty of independent construction are much higher than those of other industries. Especially in the field of nuclear reactor equipment installation, the precision of installation technology is beyond people’s imagination. In the past, it was all mastered by foreign parties, which made it more difficult to make nuclear power construction independent.

"With what foreigners can, we can’t? Do they have three heads and six arms, and we can’t do them? " In 2006, after graduating from Huang Lei University, he joined CGNPC. The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so he refused to accept defeat. Huang Lei is determined to become a nuclear reactor equipment installation technology. To this end, he paid great attention to every detail of the foreign operation guidance, took the foreign drawings and documents that were not detailed, studied them page by page, and even punctuated them, often pondering into the middle of the night.

"His dormitory often has lights on in the middle of the night, even all night, and everyone is used to it." The efforts have not been in vain. Through a little exploration and accumulation, Huang Lei has overcome many technical problems such as concentricity adjustment, track adjustment and fuel delivery system assembly of the loader. In 2009, under the leadership of Huang Lei, China’s nuclear fuel storage and handling system was successfully installed independently for the first time, and the system experience was popularized. In the eyes of colleagues, Huang Lei always keeps fresh and devoted to technological research and innovation. "Only better, no best, these eight words can best describe Huang Lei, and his pursuit of technology seems endless."

With this indomitable spirit, in the field of nuclear reactor equipment installation, Huang Lei has won six awards for technical achievements at all levels, and has successively mastered a number of nuclear power plant installation core technologies, such as the opening and closing cover of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel, the insertion and interlocking of the reactor control rod drive shaft, the secondary side water pressure of the steam generator, and the automatic welding of the reactor main loop pipeline. At the same time, he also innovated and invented more than 10 special tools, such as special tools for cold-fitting pin holes of reactor pressure vessel inserts.

Today, CPR1000 piles are blossoming in many places in China. In the field of CPR1000 nuclear reactor equipment installation, China engineers, represented by Huang Lei, not only fully mastered the core technology, but even came from behind, and their technical level surpassed that of former foreign masters.

Do a good job in China’s third-generation nuclear power

In fact, Huang Lei is "ambitious". He is not satisfied with mastering only the installation technology in the core field of CPR1000 reactor. Huang Lei, which has grown up with the wave of China’s nuclear power autonomy, still has a goal in mind-to build Hualong No.1 demonstration project with China’s independent intellectual property rights to help China’s nuclear power "go global". In 2018, Huang Lei shouldered the heavy responsibility of nuclear island installation of CGNPC Fangchenggang Hualong No.1 demonstration project. "China’s nuclear power has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, and has become one of the national business cards together with high-speed rail. I am a technician. In this process, I should give full play to my advantages and make more contributions to the country. "

The difficulties can be imagined. He led the team to tackle key problems continuously, summed up experience and made bold exploration on the basis of installation technology in the core field of CPR1000 reactor, and achieved many firsts in China in Hualong No.1 demonstration project: for the first time, when the nuclear island plant was capped, large crawler cranes were used to complete the hoisting of large equipment in the main circuit of nuclear reaction; After lifting the nuclear island dome for the first time, complete the replacement of the nuclear island ring crane installation trolley; For the first time, the installation of the steam generator was completed in the 0-meter site, setting a historical record of completing the installation of all nuclear reactor main loop equipment within 70 days, and the deviation of equipment weighing hundreds of tons in place was less than 1 mm; Facing the installation of the shaft seal of the main pump, which is exponentially difficult, the installation is strictly controlled according to the accuracy of 0.01mm, and the whole process of nondestructive installation is realized for the first time, which is impossible for foreign manufacturers with mature experience; The installation and welding of the control rod drive mechanism of the reactor were successful at one time, without any repair welding.

Although faced with many difficulties in the construction of Fangchenggang Hualong No.1 demonstration project, Huang Lei kept in mind the mission and overcame difficulties. In April 2021, Huang Lei won the honorary title of "Shenzhen May 1st Labor Medal". "The task of the construction of Hualong No.1 demonstration project is not over yet, and there are still many challenges ahead." In the face of honor, Huang Lei remains as simple as ever.

Although the first line is bitter, it is also sweet.

In addition to being the team leader, Huang Lei is also the "bosom brother" of the team.

"I have been doing this since I graduated, and I know the difficulties and difficulties of everyone." Nuclear Island Installation is a young team with an average age of 32 years old. Huang Lei always takes the initiative to understand the ideological trends of team members and solve the problems and difficulties encountered in work and life in time.

Huang Lei advocates the concept of "happy work and healthy life" in the team. At the same time, after the boring installation of the nuclear island, he actively organizes everyone to participate in various activities such as reading sharing and outdoor sports to relieve the work pressure. Therefore, the team led by Huang Lei is full of energy at any time. With skills in the brain and brothers in the heart, Huang Lei has been unanimously recognized by the team, and everyone likes to overcome difficulties with him. Like many nuclear power construction engineers who have been rooted in the front line all the year round, Huang Lei often stays at the nuclear power site for months, giving up holidays and being unable to stay with his parents, wife and children.

"Is it bitter?" In the face of questions, Huang Lei smiled slightly: "In the first line, suffering is suffering, and many times I am tired, but my heart is also very sweet." In Huang Lei’s eyes, it is enough that in 15 years, with countless nuclear power builders, he has become a brick and tile for the leap-forward development of China’s nuclear power industry.

Eight heavy new cars to be unveiled at Guangzhou Auto Show in 2024 are all tough characters.

As the "fourth world" of Huawei, Zunjie is a car brand jointly launched by Huawei and Jianghuai Automobile. The official positioning is ultra-high-end brand, and the price is expected to exceed 1 million yuan. The official said that it aims to break the long-term monopoly of foreign luxury car brands in the field of millions of luxury cars.

Judging from the spy photos currently exposed, Zunjie’s body size is expected to reach the standard of D-class cars, the overall body lines are very slender, equipped with rear wheel steering function, and large-size wheels in the shape of "pie" are also used, which is also a common design element for ultra-luxury models, further enhancing the luxury and visual impact of vehicles.

Since we are cooperating with Huawei, Zhijia can’t be absent. Judging from the lidar on the roof, Zunjie is expected to carry the advanced version of Huawei Gankun ADS 3.0 of Zhijie R7, and from the internal details of the engine compartment, it will adopt an extended-range power system. Zunjie plans to go offline at the end of 2024, and go public in the first quarter of 2025. After the listing, it will be available in models such as Hehe, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Weilai ET9.

BYD Xia was officially unveiled at this year’s Chengdu Auto Show. On September 27th, blind booking was started. The official positioning of the new car is a medium-sized and large-sized plug-in MPV with a level of 300,000 yuan. From the data, the body size of BYD Xia is slightly smaller than Tengshi D9, which is close to the overall size of Toyota Senna.

The new car is also equipped with DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, which can realize the functions of automatic car following, automatic parking, automatic lane change and so on. At the same time, it is also equipped with Yunqi -C intelligent damping body control system, which ensures the comfort and handling of the vehicle. According to the application information, BYD Summer is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, and its pure electric cruising range is available in 80km and 145km versions. After listing, it will compete with Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi E9 PHEV, Lantu Dreamer PHEV and other models.

Although Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 use the same design language, the aura displayed by Leopard 8 is more powerful. The size of the car body is almost the same as that of the tank 700, and they are all positioning medium and large SUVs.

In addition, Leopard 8 will also be equipped with Gankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system, equipped with a lidar similar to looking up at U8. Therefore, in terms of intelligent driving and navigation assistance functions, Leopard 8 is more competitive than off-road vehicles of the same class.

The performance of Leopard 8 in off-road performance can not be underestimated. It is equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, the fastest acceleration time is 4.8s, and the pure battery life is 125km. It is also equipped with a non-loaded body, independent suspension of front and rear wishbone arms, three locks, and intelligent hydraulic body control system of Yunqi -P, etc. Basically, the equation Leopard 8 can be regarded as a youth version looking forward to U8.

From the data of hardware and software alone, equation Leopard 8 has no rival in the off-road vehicle market, and the only thing that can compete with it is tank 700.

Except in the design of the rear, Tengshi Z9 and Tengshi Z9GT are not much different, only the length of the car body is increased by nearly 50mm, and thanks to the structure of Tengshi Z9 sedan, the overall shape looks smoother, and the storage space of the trunk will be improved, so it is more suitable for home use.

According to the application information, the new car is consistent with Tengshi Z9GT, offering plug-in and pure electric models, in which the plug-in version is equipped with a 2.0T engine, and it is expected that the Z9 pure electric version will also be equipped with easy tripartite technology. According to the price of Tengshi Z9 GT (33.48-41.48 million), the estimated price of the sedan version of Z9 will not be much different.

Looking up at the brand’s third new car, looking up at U7, has also been officially unveiled at this year’s Beijing Auto Show. Looking up at U7 headlights is basically the same as looking up at U9. The double-C-style daytime running lights are very exaggerated. At the same time, hidden door handles, borderless doors, active tails and other configurations are not absent, and three laser radars are installed on the roof to support high-order intelligent driving systems.

The official positioning for looking up at U7 is a four-door coupe. The overall size is even larger than that of Lotus EMEYA, but there is only a slight gap in the body width. In terms of power, like looking up at U9, the new car is also equipped with an easy Sifang power system, with an acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, and will also be equipped with a Yunqi -Z intelligent body control system, so it can also realize the functions of in-situ U-turn and easy Sifang parking.

Compared with looking up at U9, looking up at U7 is not so extreme in sports performance, but with more than a thousand horsepower and four-motor technology, looking up at U7 also has strong performance. It is reported that looking up at U7 is also positioned at a million levels.

The benchmark model of Galaxy Starship 7 is also Song PLUS DM-i. In fact, Geely Galaxy L7 is already an opponent of Song PLUS DM-I, but obviously, it still cannot shake the position of Song PLUS DM, so Geely Galaxy Starship 7 is here.

The body size of Galaxy Starship 7 is actually similar to that of Galaxy L7 and Song PLUS DM-i, but it is different from Galaxy L7 in design and power system.

The new car is equipped with a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, with a pure electric cruising range of 150km and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.88L per 100 km. The battery degree and pure electric cruising range are larger than those of Galaxy L7, and it has basically caught up with Song PLUS DM-i with a pure electric cruising range of 160km. Referring to the price of Galaxy L7, the price of the new car is expected to be 110,000-150,000 yuan.

Compared with the old Tucki P7, the whole front face of Tucki P7+has been greatly changed except for the through-going light strip. Although it adds a sense of movement, it lacks a sense of advanced, and even reveals a temperament of network car. Of course, the appearance evaluation varies from person to person. In terms of creating a sense of movement, Tucki P7+adopts a double-color suspended roof and double-tail design, plus a slip-back shape, and its performance is still good.

In addition to the shape change, the new car has also changed a lot in other aspects. For example, the interior was replaced by 15.6-inch suspended central control and 8295 chip, and the body was also lengthened, with a length of over 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters, and the whole system was equipped with a pure visual intelligent driving scheme as standard. The 800V high-voltage platform is upgraded in power, and the energy supply speed is faster.

From Tianyajun’s personal point of view, these changes of Tucki P7+ have some advantages and disadvantages. The change of appearance may attract young sports car lovers, but the lack of high-grade sense may make some consumers who pursue quality hesitate.

However, there is a successful precedent of MONAM03 in Tucki, and Tucki P7+ will give a very sincere price this time. The current price is 209,800 yuan, and it is expected that the starting price will be adjusted to about 180,000 yuan after listing.

Aian brand, which has always regarded cost performance as its core concept, is also willing to "feed" in the upcoming AION RT Only the price of more than 150 thousand is equipped with laser radar and high-order intelligent driving, which is unique in its class. In terms of market positioning and pre-sale price, AION RT is obviously aimed at MONA M03 in Tucki, and from the perspective of pre-sale orders, it has achieved initial results.

From the perspective of product strength, AION RT has many bright spots, especially the intelligent driving system. In the same price model, only AION RT is equipped with laser radar, and it also supports the city NDA high-level intelligent driving without a picture. Although Tucki MONA M03 has intelligent driving function, it lacks lidar, and AION RT has more advantages in hardware cost.

At present, the pre-sale price of the new car is 119.8-169.8 thousand yuan. If the starting price can be lowered to about 100 thousand yuan after listing, it will become an explosive model with great probability.

Bo Huang, a roadshow of "Learning Dad" in Shenzhen, said that he felt the same way about parents’ anxiety.


1905 movie network news On August 31st, the producer, starring, screenwriter and director of the film attended the roadshow at Shenzhen Railway Station to communicate with the audience. The struggle, confusion and relief experienced by four groups of "young to young" families in the film are very topical and emotional, which deeply resonates with the audience. The film is produced and starred by Bo Huang, written and directed by Su Liang, starring,,,,, and is currently being well received. Let’s walk into the cinema and embark on this healing journey with laughter and tears.

 

 Bo Huang feels the same way about parents’ anxiety. The director reminds us not to just seek explicit results.

Bo Huang and Su Liang made a surprise appearance at Shenzhen Station, the national roadshow of the film "Learning Dad", and shared the story behind the film with the audience. Talking about Lei Dali, the father who played almost everything for his children, Bo Huang admitted that although he didn’t like Chicken Baby very much, he felt the same way for the parents of this period: "Being able to fully know why they are doing this and their anxiety at this moment, the pressures they bear and the infinite expectations for their children’s future are all the same."

Some kindergarten teachers are particularly touched by the story of "children grow up young" in the movie. First, they are moved by inherit the wind and always want to give the best to their children. Second, they are concerned about the phenomenon of chickens and babies. From the professional perspective of preschool teachers, she advocates that children in early childhood should learn and develop in games. Although she understands the parents’ good intentions, she hopes that they will pay more attention to their children’s all-round development. Director Su Liang quite agrees with this view. He reminds parents not to pursue only explicit results: "Chicken baby education is a result-oriented education, and many parents are easily attracted by explicit results. However, happiness education or personality education is actually equivalent to implicitly exercising children’s creativity and thinking ability. Although it is difficult to see the results, these hidden things are the most essential part that determines a person. " These words touched many audiences.

 

 The audience saw from "Learning Dad" that Bo Huang gave the audience "Lei Dali’s father’s hug"

Since the film "Learning Dad" was released, the word-of-mouth has been constantly fermenting, and the topics of education and family emotion discussed by it directly hit people’s hearts. Audiences of different ages can see the shadow of themselves or the people around them from the film. A student audience from Shenzhen International School said that she is the real Lucas, and she looks like a "child from other people’s family", but bilingual learning is under great pressure. A young audience holding the hand card of "Lei Dali, Hug" was very excited, saying that they grew up under the education of chickens and sticks. "I have no childhood and have a particularly painful life." He was particularly moved when he saw the scene of Lei Dali hugging Xiaomi in the movie, because he never got a hug from his father. After hearing this, Bo Huang immediately sent him a "hug from Lei Dali’s father", and the scene was quite touching.

The audience with three brushes of "Learning Dad" said that they had a new experience every time they watched it. One brush felt that the director could understand the bitterness of being a parent very well, and the actor interpreted the parents’ rushing and dedication very truly; The second brush took the children to watch together. After returning, I found that the children suddenly became sensible and even more distressed by their parents. I can understand my children better after three brushes. In addition, there are students who are about to enter the third year of high school, and frankly, after watching this film, they have gained great inspiration. They should work hard to move forward, but don’t bear too much pressure. These are what the creators hope the audience can gain in the process of watching movies. Bo Huang said frankly that "Learning Dad" is open to the discussion of educational methods. Everyone has his own answer to this question, because there is more than one choice in life. Lei Xiaomi doesn’t have to go to a prestigious school to have a future. Parents should put aside their obsession of "crossing a wooden bridge with thousands of troops". Little carp doesn’t have to jump the dragon gate, and all roads lead to Rome. I believe that every audience can get healing and inspiration from the movie "Learning Dad".

 

The film "Learning Dad" is a work of Bo Huang’s "HB+U" new director’s assistance plan, and the film is currently being shown.

Accord to that viewpoint of China merchants electronic,High-end DDR5 and HBM are in short supply recently, and their prices continue to rise; At the same time, with the drastic reduction in production of the upstream original factory and the limited production capacity shifting to the production of high-end products, the prices of traditional models such as DDR4 are also rising, and NAND prices are expected to usher in an inflection point at 23Q4. On the other hand, Changjiang Storage sued Micron Technology Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Micron Consumer Products Group Co., Ltd. for infringing its eight US patents on November 9. Changjiang Storage said in the patent infringement indictment that the lawsuit was to terminate Micron’s extensive and unauthorized use of Changjiang Storage’s patent innovation. Changjiang Storage is the largest 3D NAND Flash manufacturer in China. Changjiang Storage mentioned in the indictment that Micron used Changjiang Storage’s patented technology to resist competition from Changjiang Storage and gain and protect market share. The lawsuit aims to solve one aspect of the following problems: Micron tried to prevent competition and innovation by forcing Changjiang Storage to withdraw from the 3D NAND Flash market.

3. Changes in theme and industry trend: GPT-4 Turbo model is completely upgraded, and Huawei’s three modes of car manufacturing empower car companies.

(1)GPT-4 Turbo is launched heavily, opening up new AI commercialization prospects.

The stronger version of GPT-4 Turbo has been launched, which is both economical and practical. On November 6, local time, Open AI held its first developer conference in San Francisco. At the meeting, Open AI brought its upgraded GPT-4 Turbo model.The new version of GPT-4 Turbo updates the knowledge information to April 2023, and supports a 128k context window, which can input 300 pages of books at a time. OpenAI’s instruction tracking has been improved, and a new function called JSON Mode has been introduced to ensure that developers can make it easier for models to call JSON and XML content. At the same time, the seed (random seed value) parameter is added to realize repeatable output. In the next few weeks, the logprobs parameter will be added to see the most likely output probability distribution of the model. In terms of price, the price of GPT-4 Turbo input tokens is 1/3 of that of GPT-4 (1k tokens only costs 0.01 USD), and the price of output Tokens is 1/2 of that of GPT-4 (1k Tokens costs 0.03 USD). This shows that GPT-4 Turbo has stronger performance, cheaper price and lower development cost.

(3) Expand the function of code interpreter. Write and run Python code in sandbox execution environment, generate graphs and charts, and handle files with various data and formats. (4) Update the function calling function and call multiple functions at one time, which improves the flexibility and efficiency of the API. In addition, GPT-4 Turbo has added visual ability, DALL·E3 and speech synthesis API. Support image input, automatically summarize image content and document content with images. It is expected that with the application development and scene expansion, the big model will be used as the entrance to many AI+ application fields such as AI+ office, AI+ games and AI+ education.

The launch of GPTs stores will encourage individuals and enterprises to make more extensive use of customized GPT and open up new commercial prospects.Everyone can build a GPT with exclusive skills by talking and chatting without programming. OpenAI is about to release GPTs stores, where users can easily create, share and make money. The exclusive GPT can be used not only as a pet consultant and design assistant, but also as an assistant for startup companies to meet the needs of different fields. By interacting with GPT Builder, users can easily build a dedicated GPT and share it with others. At the same time, OpenAI emphasizes screening harmful content through the new system to improve security. Generally speaking, the opening of GPTs store provides more space for personalized application of AI, breaks the traditional gap between users and models in the AI field, and also brings more flexible and innovative AI solutions for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs.

Among them, the electricity price is formed through marketization, and the capacity price level is gradually adjusted according to the actual situation such as the progress of coal-fired power transformation. The "Notice" clarifies that the coal capacity electricity price policy shall be implemented for public coal-fired power units that are in compliance with the regulations, and the capacity electricity price shall be determined according to the method of recovering a certain proportion of fixed costs of coal-fired power units. Among them, the fixed cost of coal-fired power units used to calculate the capacity electricity price is subject to the national unified standard, which is 330 yuan per kilowatt per year; From 2024 to 2025, the proportion of fixed costs recovered by capacity electricity price in most places is about 30%, and some places with rapid transformation of coal-fired power functions are appropriately higher; From 2026, the proportion of fixed costs recovered by capacity electricity prices will be increased to not less than 50%. The electricity charge of coal capacity is included in the system operation cost, and is shared by industrial and commercial users according to the proportion of electricity consumption in that month every month. [3]We believe that the proposal of capacity price is of great significance, which will greatly change the profit structure of coal-fired power companies, significantly enhance the utility attributes of coal-fired power companies, and make the profit structure more stable.From the perspective of future policy expectations, the introduction of capacity electricity price policy shows that the pricing of regulatory resources is strengthening, and it is expected that policies such as pricing optimization and cost sharing of subsequent auxiliary services are expected to be further introduced.

When I came to the plug-in hybrid car in Wilanda, the interior looked very round and lovely, and the visual effect was very good. The steering wheel of the car is very in line with the interior style, made of genuine leather, and the visual effect is good. Take a look at the central control. The car is equipped with a clean and refreshing touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and looks simple and generous. Finally, let’s look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and it looks very capable. The car uses a leather/imitation leather mixed seat, which is wide and thick, and it is basically enough for daily use.

The space performance of the plug-in hybrid trunk of Willanda is quite satisfactory, but it supports the rear seats to be laid down, which greatly improves the expansion of the space and meets the daily travel needs. In addition, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driver airbag, co-pilot airbag, knee airbag, side airbag curtain, front airbag and other safety configurations.

This car has been introduced almost before, and I believe many users who buy a car have taken a fancy to its comfort and practicality. If you are interested in it, you might as well learn more about it!
