The defendant in the pornographic photo case is expected to be jailed, and the first publisher remains a mystery

  China News Service, April 30, according to Hong Kong’s "Wen Wei Po" report, Hong Kong artist Chen Edison and a number of actress bed photos have been circulating on the Internet for more than a year, accused of being the source of the issuance of lewd photos of computer maintenance staff Shi Kejun, after 6 days of trial, 29 days in Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court was found guilty of three counts of dishonest access to computers, real-time remand cell waiting for sentencing next month 13.

  The chief judge said the charges were so serious that imprisonment was inevitable. Although Shi’s conviction appears to have ended the case, who was the first "Qina" to post lewd photos of an artist on the Internet remains a mystery.

  The chief judge read out the verdict, saying that he accepted the prosecution’s argument that the defendant had downloaded bed photos from an external hard drive to a computer, and then used the computer to upload bed photos to a server connected to the Internet to obtain photos that did not belong to him. On June 8, 2006, while Shi was repairing the computer at the Home Products Store, he used the computer to log in to the server to download 1,300 lewd photos, showed the photos to two female designers of the Home Products Store on the computer screen, and burned them into a CD and sent them to Liang Tingxin.

  The chief judge also analyzed the evidence of Chen Edison and 14 prosecution witnesses, saying that most of the key witnesses in the case were honest and reliable, and the two female designers Cai Yufen and Liang Tingxin were unswerving under cross-examination by the defense lawyer. As for Cai’s ignorance that his colleague Liang Tingxin was given a bed photo CD, the chief judge believed that the defendant’s purpose in the home store was to repair the computer, so Cai did not know whether the defendant was burning the disc or repairing the computer, which is very normal.

  The president judge also pointed out that Xie Liqiao’s evidence was straightforward and unevasive. Although the defense questioned that Xie Liqiao, a salesperson, was responsible for repairing Chen Edison’s computer, it was unusual, but the president judge pointed out that in a small computer store, it was not uncommon for a staff member to also perform maintenance and sales work. Moreover, he only repaired the computer according to the established steps, and it was impossible to know in advance that the computer contained lewd photos. If Xie wanted to frame the defendant, he would not have truthfully stated that he did not see the process of copying the bed photos from the external hard drive.

  As for Ye Zhaoshan, the owner of the computer shop, the evidence was straightforward and simple. Since Xie Liqiao took the initiative to inform him that he found a lewd photo during maintenance, he had no reason to question Xie’s concealment of the incident. Another maintenance worker, Chen Weiming, also said in court that due to salary issues, he was no longer friends with the boss Ye Zhaoshan, reflecting that he would not "make a confession" with Ye.

  The defense lawyer said in court that the defendant understood that the charge was serious and imprisonment was inevitable, but pointed out that the defendant was only 21 years old when he committed the crime, and hoped that the court would take into account the defendant’s age and request a social service order report.

  After hearing the arguments of both the prosecution and the defense, the magistrate said that the defendant’s violation of good faith in the case made the case particularly serious, so he would not consider imposing a social service order, but would request a report from the ********** to preserve the option of sentencing, and showed that real-time imprisonment was inevitable. The request for a report did not give the defendant false expectations.

Guo Fucheng: Stop calling me Guo Tianwang, Andy Lau is old, I’m not old (Photo)






Guo Fucheng profile photo


  "Standing in the rain, with tears in my eyes, I don’t know where to go," Guo Fucheng was always at the bottom of the ranking of the Four Heavenly Kings. In the eyes of the outside world, in addition to having sexy abdominal muscles, he seemed to be the weakest and most controversial among the Heavenly Kings. Time flew, and after the peak of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Guo Fucheng, who has won two consecutive Golden Horse Best Actor, is more concerned about movies.


  state


  Andy Lau is old, I am not old


  When talking to Guo Fucheng, he sat in front of the glass window of the hotel room, wearing a white shirt. Although he happily chatted with reporters about the past and present lives of the Four Heavenly Kings, he no longer wanted anyone to call him "Guo Tianwang" or "idol". "Idols no longer exist for me. Some people say that Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are old, but I am not old, and I must work hard to win those so-called awards. As an actor, I can accept wrinkles, but if a singer comes out with wrinkles, I can’t stand it myself."


  award


  Let me let go of my idol burden


  In 2005, Guo Fucheng, who had been silent for almost three years, won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with his mature image in the movie "Sanchakou".


  Looking back on the experience of winning the first Best Actor Award, he said with a smile: "I feel a little surprised, a little surprised, because for my opponents at the same time, I am more optimistic about Liang Jiahui. Winning this award has a great impetus for my future performances. You know, when you let go of the burden of idols, you realize that there is still so much room for development in the film."


  filming


  If there are crocodiles in the river, they have to jump


  "Detective C +" is Guo Fucheng’s first film since he won the title of the best actor in a row. He plays a private investigator who takes the audience step by step to uncover the culprit behind the cold case. In this movie, Guo Fucheng needs to jump into a stinky ditch and get into a garbage heap, which must be very difficult for a person like him who is very careful about his image. To this, he said with a smile: "The garbage is fake, and I thought at the time that it must be very stinky. In fact, the scene I couldn’t stand was jumping into a river, because the color of the river was darker than my hair, and there was oil floating on it. I asked the director’Do you really want to jump? ‘He put on a look of helplessness. The assistant director next to me said to me,’ My assistant and the actor saw a crocodile in the river. ‘"


  This year Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau have both come to the mainland for concerts. Many people expect all four kings to come, but Guo Fucheng said that now he is more focused on doing a musical well. "I will not rest in music, but in the days to come, I will invest less in music and more in movies."

Galaxy L7 was delivered in the second quarter, and the Geely Galaxy series was released, fully improving the dimension from product to technology

        In this year’s new energy vehicle market, there is a kind of momentum that the mountains and rains are about to come. On the one hand, the "price war" is hot, and on the other hand, the voices are rising one after another.

        The survival experience of the market tells car brands that simple price "PK" cannot make car brands go further and further. Only strong system capabilities can enhance the combat effectiveness of car brands, resist the impact of the market and the attack of opponents, and run their own acceleration on the new energy track.

        In the second stage of breaking the new energy vehicle market, Geely Automobile once again "shines its sword". On February 23, Geely Automobile released a new mid-to-high-end new energy series in Hangzhou – "Geely Galaxy", as well as a series of electrification technologies such as the Aegis battery safety system, the Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848, and the new automotive operating system "Galaxy N OS".

1. jpg        For competitors, this is a fiercer response than a "price war". From products to technology, to channels, to services, to value, all-round upgrades to new dimensions. Next, let’s see how hard Geely’s brand is fighting in the new energy market?

New technology clusters are released, supporting the brand’s continued growth

        Some people say that "core technology is a unique secret for brand improvement". Only with deep technical internal strength can one be proud of the car market. This time, Geely Automobile released a series of new technologies, including battery technology to intelligent technology.

        Among them, the Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848 is a blockbuster "bomb" for Geely Automobile to attack the new energy market. Today, compared with pure electric models, electric hybrid models are growing faster and easier for consumers to accept. It is reported that the Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848 is based on the evolution of "Raytheon Electric Hybrid" and has made new breakthroughs in hot-selling rate, performance and intelligent control.

10. jpg        Taking thermal efficiency as an example, the new generation of Raytheon electric hybrid engine B-Plus has a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.26%, achieving a breakthrough in transmission dual-motor drive, which is proud enough to be placed in the new energy market. It is reported that this technology will be first used in Geely Galaxy’s intelligent electric hybrid series models.

2. jpg        The Aegis battery safety system is also a key technology of the Geely brand. For a long time, battery safety has been the painpoint of new energy models. This time, Geely launched the Aegis battery safety system to give the "optimal solution" for this pain point of the car. It is reported that this safety system covers the level of cells, modules and battery packs. The industry is the first to integrate radiation protection safety technology deep into the cell level to solve battery safety problems at a deep level.

4. jpg        Nowadays, "intelligent driving" is a must-have label for new energy models, and it is also a "selling point" for many new car-making forces. In terms of intelligent driving, Geely Automobile has also made a big move, releasing the "heaven and earth integrated" version of the Galaxy intelligent driving solution, which can realize an end-to-end full-stack self-research system, covering cross-layer memory parking, high-speed emergency antelope obstacle avoidance, low-speed exploration and crossing and other latest intelligent driving technologies, and doing "subtraction" for traditional driving.

       In addition, the new Galaxy N OS is Geely’s full-stack self-developed distributed operating system. This car system is more proficient in application, with a new UI style and beautiful and silky Galaxy micro-motion graphics, giving users an immersive experience.

6. jpgGalaxy L7 debuts, aiming at the 200,000 smart electric hybrid market

        At the event, the first mass-produced model of Geely Galaxy series – Galaxy L7 was officially unveiled. It is reported that this is a 200,000-class intelligent electric hybrid SUV model, which has begun to accept reservations and is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of this year.

        It can be seen that Geely Automobile is rushing to a new rhythm with its technological advantages. As the first SUV model of the Galaxy series, the Galaxy L7 is built with a world-class e-CMA architecture. At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of Geely Automobile said that "this new car will enter the 200,000-class SUV market". The new car is equipped with Geely’s most advanced technology.

8. jpg        The first Aegis battery safety system, Raytheon Electric Hybrid 8848 and Galaxy N OS system are all three blockbuster technologies that appear on this model. The application of these three technologies ensures that Galaxy L7 is even better in terms of hardware and software, distancing itself from competitors.

        In terms of design, the new car adopts the Galaxy Ripple aesthetic, the front face is closed air intake grille, both sides are equipped with slender double headlights, the fog lamp is designed with geometric shape, and the front face is equipped with a trapezoidal windshield on the lower side, making the entire front face look more fashionable. The side of the body is suspended with a roof, the tail is penetrated with taillights, and the cyclone wheel hub makes it sporty and fashionable.

        In addition, the interior layout can compete with the new forces of car manufacturing. The car is equipped with four large screens, 10.25-inch instrument + 13.2-inch central control screen + 16.2-inch auxiliary driver screen + 25.6-inch AR HUD, and, with the blessing of the Galaxy N OS system, the intelligent experience is worth looking forward to. It is reported that the length, width and height of the new car are 4700/1905/1685mm, and the wheelbase is 2785mm, which is more advantageous in size than the compact SUV.

9. jpg        In addition, under the new generation of Raytheon hybrid 8848 system empowered, the Galaxy L7 hardware system is efficient and effective. Looking at a set of data, the Galaxy L7 accelerates 6.9 seconds for 100 kilometers, the fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is 5.23L, and the CLTC comprehensive cruising range is 1370 kilometers. In the 200,000-class new energy SUV market, it is very lethal.

        Of course, the Galaxy series is more than just a new L7. According to Geely’s product plan, seven models will be launched within two years. The first electric hybrid coupe Galaxy L6 will be delivered in the third quarter of this year, and the pure electric model Galaxy E8 will be delivered in the fourth quarter. This will accelerate the launch of new cars into the new energy vehicle market.

7. jpgGhost Douche Viewpoint: At the press conference, Gan Jiayue, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said: "Geely Galaxy will lead China’s new energy into the second’new stage ‘of value development." In the new energy vehicle market, Geely Automobile has been fully upgraded, and has come up with new methods in terms of products, technologies, channels and services, rejecting new bottles of old wine. As sung in the song "Good Morning, Geely", the Galaxy series is the most beautiful "star" in the new energy vehicle market, illuminating Geely’s progress.

Covers an area of 718,000 square meters! The Secret of Xiaomi Automobile Factory: The roof is covered with photovoltaic panels to generate 16.4 million kWh of electricity every year.

  On April 17 th, Xiaomi technical officer Wei issued a document today, officially revealing the Xiaomi automobile factory.

  Xiaomi Automobile Factory is located in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, covering an area of 718,000 ㎡, including R&D test base, six workshops of stamping, die casting, body, painting, battery and final assembly specially built for new energy vehicles, and a test track with a total length of 2.5km.

  In addition, there is Xiaomi Automobile Factory Store, which is a smart park integrating R&D, production, sales and experience.

  Xiaomi emphasized that the group has always been committed to sustainable development, and Xiaomi Automobile Factory also adhered to this concept at the beginning of its establishment.

  In addition to the control of waste gas and wastewater in production, a variety of green renewable resources have been utilized.

  All the domestic wastewater and production wastewater are brought into the sewage station for treatment, which greatly improves the efficiency of sewage treatment. After pretreatment of production wastewater, mixed sewage treatment, miscellaneous water treatment and reclaimed water treatment system, the proportion of wastewater in the factory can reach 50%.

  The roof of the factory is equipped with a 16.2MW distributed photovoltaic power station with a total area of 154,579 square meters, and the estimated annual power generation is about 16.4 million kWh.

  The photovoltaic project is expected to have a service life of more than 25 years, which can provide renewable energy for Xiaomi automobile manufacturing for a long time, reduce carbon emissions by about 9905 tons annually, and absorb carbon dioxide equivalent to 540,000 trees annually.

Meta is hard and OpenAI, and the domestic "small model" official announces open source. Where is the "Hundred Models War" going?

  Since the beginning of this year, the global Internet giants have set off a "hundred-model war", and Microsoft, Google, Baidu and Ali have come to the end one after another. After more than half a year of competition, technology giants are welcoming a new round of road disputes around the big model ecology: facing the parameter "ceiling", will the future of the big model be closed or open?

  The open source model can run on a home computer.

  On August 3rd, two open source models, Qwen-7B and Qwen-7B-Chat, were put on the domestic AI developer community "ModelScope", which were Alibaba Cloud Tongyi Qianwen’s 7 billion parameter general model and dialogue model respectively. Both models were open source, free and commercially available.

  According to reports, Tongyi Qianwen Qwen-7B is a pedestal model that supports many languages such as Chinese and English, and it is trained on more than 2 trillion token (text unit) data sets, while Qwen-7B-Chat is a Chinese-English dialogue model based on the pedestal model, which has reached the cognitive level of human beings.In short, the former is like a "foundation" and the latter is a "house" on the foundation.

  The actual test shows that the comprehensive performance of Qwen-7B model is good. Among them, on the English proficiency evaluation benchmark MMLU, the score is generally higher than that of the mainstream models with the same parameter scale, even surpassing some models with 12 billion and 13 billion parameter scales. On the Chinese evaluation C-Eval verification set, the model also achieved the highest score of the same scale. Qwen-7B model is also among the best in evaluating GSM8K in mathematical problem solving ability and HumanEval in code ability.

  That is to say,In the tests of Chinese and English writing, solving mathematical problems and writing codes, Qwen-7B model is properly a "master of learning", and its score even exceeds the international mainstream model with the same parameter level.

  Besides, the industry is more concerned about the usability of Qwen-7B model. As we all know, the training and operation of mainstream large models need special AI training chips (such as NVIDIA A100), which are not only expensive, but also as high as 10,000 — per NVIDIA A100; 15,000 dollars, and it is monopolized by countries such as Europe and the United States, and it is almost impossible to buy it in China.The domestic Qwen-7B model supports the deployment of consumer graphics cards, which is equivalent to a high-performance home computer to run the model.

  Thanks to free commercialization and low threshold, the Qwen-7B model has been put on the shelves, which has attracted the attention of AI developers.In just one day, on the code hosting platform GitHub, the Qwen-7B model has been collected by more than a thousand developers, and most of the questioners are Chinese developers.As Alibaba Cloud said in the statement: "Compared with the lively AI open source ecology in the English-speaking world, the Chinese community lacks an excellent pedestal model. The addition of Tongyi Qianwen is expected to provide more choices for the open source community and promote the open source ecological construction of AI in China. "

  Open source or closed?

  In fact, Qwen-7B model is not the first big open source model. In fact, GPT-2, the predecessor of ChatGPT, is also completely open source. Its code and framework can be used for free on the Internet, and related papers can be consulted. However, after ChatGPT spread all over the world, OpenAI chose closed-source development, and the model codes such as GPT-3 and GPT-4 have become the trade secrets of OpenAI.

  The so-called open source is open source code.For example, once the big model is declared open source, anyone can publicly obtain the model source code, modify it or even redevelop it within the scope of copyright restrictions. To make a simple analogy,The source code is like the manuscript of a painting, and everyone can fill in the colors according to the manuscript to create their own artistic paintings.

  Closed source is just the opposite of open source.Only the source code owner (usually the software developer) has the power to modify the code, others can’t get the "manuscript" and can only buy the finished product from the software developer.

  The advantages and disadvantages of open source and closed source are very obvious. After open source, the big model will undoubtedly attract more developers, and the application of the big model will be more abundant, but the corresponding supervision and commercialization will become a difficult problem, which is prone to the embarrassing situation of "making wedding clothes for others".After all, open source considers ecological co-prosperity, and it is difficult to figure out the economic account of how much money can be earned at this stage, and these problems happen to be opportunities to close the source.

  Open source or closed source, this is a big model of life and death, the international giants have given the answer.

  Meta, the parent company of Facebook, released the big model Llama2 last month, which is open source and free for developers and business partners, while OpenAI firmly chose GPT-4 closed source development, which not only can maintain OpenAI’s leading position in the generative AI industry, but also can earn more revenue. According to the authoritative magazine Fast Company,OpenAI’s revenue in 2023 will reach 200 million US dollars, including providing API data interface services and subscription service fees for chat bots.

  Domestic big models have gradually begun to "go their separate ways".Alibaba Cloud’s General Meaning ModelAs early as April this year, it was announced to be open to enterprises, and the open source of Qwen-7B model will go further.ERNIE Bot of BaiduIt has also recently announced that it will gradually open the plug-in ecosystem to third-party developers to help developers build their own applications based on the Wenxin model.

  In contrast, Huawei does not take the usual path. When the Pangu Big Model 3.0 was released, Huawei Cloud publicly stated that,Pangu modelThe full stack technology is independently innovated by Huawei, and no open source technology is adopted. At the same time, Pangu Big Model will gather numerous industry big data (involving industry secrets, etc.), so Pangu Big Model will not be open source in the future.

  The big parameters are still small and beautiful.

  In addition, the open source of Qwen-7B model brings another thought:How many parameters do we need a big model?

  There is no denying that,The parameter scale of the large model is constantly expanding.Take the GPT model under OpenAI as an example. GPT-1 only contains 117 million parameters, and the parameters of GPT-3 have reached 175 billion, which has increased by more than 1000 times in a few years, while the parameters of GPT-4 have exceeded the trillion level.

  The same is true of large domestic models. Baidu Wenxin model has 260 billion parameters, Tencent mixed-element model has reached 100 billion parameters, Huawei Pangu model has been estimated to be close to GPT-3.5, and ali tong Yida model has officially announced 10 trillion parameters … …According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 79 large-scale models with over 1 billion parameters in China.

  Unfortunately, the larger the parameter, the stronger the capability of the large model. At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Wu Yunsheng, vice president of Tencent Cloud, has a very appropriate metaphor: "Just like athletes practicing physical strength, weightlifters need to lift 200 kilograms of barbells, and swimmers need to lift 100 kilograms. Different types of athletes don’t need everyone to practice 200 kilograms of barbells."

  As we all know,The higher the parameters of the large model, the more resources and costs are consumed.However, it is not necessary to blindly pursue "large scale" or "high parameters" to deepen the vertical large-scale model of the industry, but to formulate relevant model parameters according to customer needs. For example, the BioGPT-Large model has only 1.5 billion parameters, but its accuracy in biomedical professional tests is better than that of the general model with 100 billion parameters.

  Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI, also publicly stated that OpenAI is approaching the limit of LLM (Large Language Model) scale. The larger the scale, the better the model is, and the parameter scale is no longer an important indicator to measure the quality of the model.

  Wu Di, the head of intelligent algorithm in Volcano Engine, has a similar view. In the long run, reducing costs will become an important factor in the application of large models. "A well-tuned small and medium-sized model may perform as well as a general large model in a specific job, and the cost may be only one tenth of the original."

  At present, almost all domestic science and technology manufacturers have got tickets for big models, but the real road choice has just begun.

Gemini Man’s China press conference Ang Lee builds the most expensive actor.

On October 14th, the film "Gemini Man" held a huge China press conference in Shanghai. Not only did the film director Ang Lee, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and starring will smith all appear, but also the film’s heavyweight guest, young Will Smith Junior with special effects, came to the scene in a special way.

This is a digital character created by Ang Lee through special effects in movies, which can be called "the most expensive actor in Hollywood" and also the most painstaking role of Ang Lee. At the scene, Ang Lee also revealed that in fact, after he made a tiger with special effects from The Fantasy Drifting of Pi, he came up with the idea of creating "people". In order to make Junior look more real, Ang Lee not only watched the images of Will when he was young, but also studied Will’s face with a magnification of 6,000 times, and learned every detail by heart, which also made Ang Lee confidently say, "I know his face better than his mother. “

The production process is difficult, and will’s acting is not easy. It is reported that Junior is based on motion capture technology, which requires Will to play Junior from beginning to end. As a n experienced person, it’s so difficult to go back and play an ignorant young man that director Ang Lee can’t help feeling, "This is not through what you say, but through your eyes, so you should get rid of the sense of maturity and leave a sense of innocence. It is even more difficult to play a virgin if you are not a virgin. " While talking, I also asked Will to demonstrate on the spot, such as how to play the difference between a virgin and a virgin. Will’s vivid performance made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Zoom in 6000 times and study Will’s face.

Ang Lee is confident: he knows better than his own mother.

On that day, the most important guest was 23-year-old Will Smith Junior, a fully digital character created by Ang Lee with 100% special effects. In order to win the trust of the audience, Ang Lee watched almost all the images of Will when he was young. "We magnified his face 6,000 times. I dare not say anything in life, but when it comes to face, I know more about it than his biological mother." Will, who met Junior for the first time, admitted that he was scared by the truth of Junior, a special effects person, and was "completely shocked and surprised".

It is a difficulty that the industry doesn’t want to touch to change into a real person on the big screen. Ang Lee also admitted that "this is the most difficult difficulty in special effects, and it takes a lot of money and effort this time." He even revealed that Junior is very expensive, two or three times more expensive than Will Smith, and can be regarded as the most expensive actor in Hollywood.

Will Smith succeeded in Ang Lee, idolize

"Working with him is my lifelong dream."

As early as 2013, Will Smith called Ang Lee for cooperation from a distance, and idolize’s dream finally came true for many years, which also made Will Smith unable to help but feel, "Working with Ang Lee is my lifelong dream, and it has finally come true this time." The excitement is beyond words, and he is a idolize teenager, very cute.

So how did the two cooperate this time? On-site Will revealed that director Ang Lee got rid of him with a phone call. "Ang Lee called me, and I didn’t listen to what I was going to play on the phone, so I said yes! yes! ",said more, there are some directors in this world, you don’t need any reason, at his name will be promised. Ang Lee also said that the chemical reaction between the two was very good. He bluntly said, "He is not only an excellent actor, but also a big star. I am very moved by his willingness to invest unconditionally."

Playing the innocence of young people "stumps" Will.

Demonstrate how a virgin walks on the spot

Of course, the "cost" behind Will’s success in Ang Lee, idolize is not small. "Gemini Man" can be said to be the most challenging performance of Will since he started filming. He wants to play himself at the same time at two different ages, one is a mature and steady middle-aged man and the other is a young man. Will also said that the most difficult thing this time is to perform two people’s different eyes. "Different people have different eyes. How to convey the young and ignorant state with their eyes is the most difficult thing to grasp."

Ang Lee also stamped Will, which is not easy this time. "As a n experienced person, you should remove the sense of maturity from your eyes and perform innocence. It is really difficult to play a virgin without being a virgin. " Will, who was visited by Ang Lee cue, demonstrated the different ways of walking between virgins and non-virgins, and the performance in place made everyone laugh and admired the powerful actor.

The layout of the scene on that day was also very innovative, and the crisscross of blue and red colors complemented the brilliance of BFC Bund Financial Center. At the red carpet scene at night, many mirrors were put in a more ingenious way. It turns out that the killer played by Will Smith in the movie is afraid to look in the mirror and face himself. But that night, when he walked down the red carpet, he shined in front of the mirror, and the charm of the big star came to his face. Other guests present also signed their names in front of the mirror, and everyone saw their second self in the mirror, echoing the theme of "Gemini". The film Gemini Man will be shown nationwide on October 18th.
