The brand-new 2024 MG MG3 occupies a dominant position in the European market at least!

MG, a subsidiary of SAIC, has unveiled a smaller hatchback at the Geneva Motor Show-the brand-new 2024 MG3. along withFord fiestaWith the withdrawal of MG3, MG hopes that MG3 can occupy a dominant position in the ultra-small model or at least in the European market.


This will start with the price. According to foreign media reports, the new hybrid version of MG3 costs about 18,000 pounds, while the pure gasoline version (which is expected to be equipped with manual transmission and will be launched later) costs about 16,000 pounds. According to the product planning director of MG, the prices of both cars will be about 10% lower than those of competitors.

The company plans to sell 10,000 MG3s in the UK every year, which is almost three times that of the previous model in the best year.

The design team in Shanghai has designed a brand-new MG3, which draws design clues from the latest models of the brand, featuring a large front grille, sharp and unique folding lines and lines on the side of the car body.

In terms of size, MG3 is slightly larger than its predecessor in almost every dimension, with a total length of 4113mm, which makes MG3 one of the largest models in this market segment, but it still belongs to the category of ultra-small B-class cars.

MG3 will only provide a Hybrid Plus powertrain, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (producing 102 HP /128 Nm) and a motor with 136 HP /250 Nm. The total power of the system is as high as 194 HP-this is a quite powerful power system, which puts MG3 in the discontinued production.Ford fiestaUnder St.

In fact, MG claims that it is the fastest accelerating B-class hatchback in its category. With the three-speed automatic transmission, the acceleration time of MG3 from 0 to 100 km/h is 8 seconds-which is almost half a second slower than Suzuki Sport, but about two seconds faster than the European version of Toyota Yaris hybrid.

Despite its excellent performance, the fuel consumption rate of MG3 is very economical, only 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

This means that the brand-new MG3 can run in almost any configuration (automatic): either mode, using the engine as a generator to power the motor of the driving wheel, similar to Honda’s E: HEV; Either the engine and the motor drive the wheels together; Or drive with pure engine power while charging the battery.

10.25-inch touch screen and 7.0-inch digital instrument display (both seem to come directly from), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection, "leather style" interior, automatic temperature control, 360-degree panoramic camera, and a series of advanced driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance.

  Editor’s Note: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the spirit of the eight central regulations has taken root and been deeply rooted in people’s hearts. In the face of the thunder, the problem of "four winds" has been effectively rectified, but there is still an invisible variation trend. Some people are lucky and think they are clever, and they have played a "cover-up" with the regulatory authorities and started a "guerrilla war." With regard to these "four winds" problems with makeover and fancy renovation, the relevant departments have followed up in time, and various localities have frequently made practical moves. The supervision network of the discipline is becoming more and more dense, especially the application of new technologies such as "internet plus" and big data, which has become a new weapon against "four winds".

  Data sharing between departments leads to problems that have been hidden for many years; Establish a "people’s livelihood fund cloud", so that the "fly greed" of embezzling funds for the benefit of the people will immediately appear; The ubiquitous "eye of the sky" finds out the corruption on the wheels; The mouse goes straight to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and you can report it with one click by moving your finger … … The application of new technologies such as "internet plus" and big data in various places not only greatly enhanced the fighting capacity of Zhengfeng in fighting corruption, but also released the positive energy of mass supervision.

  Integrating "Big Data" to Stop Eating and Drinking

  Yao Mingzhang, former director of Songyuan Forestry Bureau of Jilin Province, never imagined that he was "planted" in an inconspicuous audit report. At present, Yao Mingzhang has been expelled from the party, and his retirement benefits have been cancelled. The clues of suspected crimes have been transferred to the judicial organs for legal treatment.

  At the beginning of this year, Songyuan City Commission for Discipline Inspection formed a "big data" library for supervision and inspection by integrating financial supervision, special audit, law enforcement inspection, project inspection and other business reports of financial, auditing, legislative affairs office, development and reform commission and other functional departments, together with the tax invoice management system, and data resources were shared among all departments.

  "The audit report of the Municipal Audit Bureau has just been formed, and we will retrieve it in time to check more than 20 reports in the past two years." Tan Guangyu, head of the Party Style and Political Style Supervision Office of Songyuan City Commission for Discipline Inspection, said that at that time, it was discovered that the Municipal Forestry Bureau had problems such as setting up a "small treasury" privately and misappropriating special funds for forestry. Grasping the clue of setting up a private "small treasury", the relevant departments of the Songyuan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection further read the detailed accounts of the use of funds and pulled out the problems.

  Tan Guangyu’s party style and political style supervision office has only three staff members, but it has to work for the whole city. "The clues of public funds for eating, drinking, receiving and sending gifts are becoming increasingly hidden and difficult to find, but the integrated ‘ Big data ’ Library, information can be transferred out immediately, which is convenient for us to implement re-supervision and find clues. "

  At present, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Songyuan City uses the tax invoice management system of the state and local tax authorities to include all acts of public funds such as eating and drinking, traveling, entering and leaving high-end entertainment places, and sending local products with public funds. Hotels, bath centers, travel agencies, entertainment places, large shopping malls and supermarkets in the city have all become key monitoring targets.

  Songyuan’s anti-corruption "big data" database will be further improved, and the financial information of water supply companies, heating companies, property management companies and other enterprises will also be included. Whoever these enterprises give free of charge and which power department wants to eat and get cards in these aspects will be reflected.

  Integrate "big data" and find problems more quickly, accurately and effectively. This has solved the problems of insufficient manpower and insufficient coverage that plague the discipline inspection and supervision organs. The application of "big data" technology has enabled the discipline inspection department to have clairvoyance and ears, and it is efficient to find clues.

  People’s livelihood fund cloud makes "fly greed" appear.

  "We compared the information of cadres and their families with the minimum living allowance in 2016, and quickly locked in that Ou Guanglong himself received the urban minimum living allowance on January 5 and January 18 this year. We know that his salary has reached 2,700 yuan a month, and the minimum living standard is that the per capita income does not exceed 400 yuan. " Li Ding, director of the Discipline Inspection and Reporting Center in Jianhe County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, said.

  In May this year, the Jianhe County Commission for Discipline Inspection used the "mutual exclusion" function of the "Big Data" platform to compare and found that Ou Shengxian, secretary of Guangtiao Village Party Branch of Gedong Town, and Ou Guanglong, deputy secretary of the Party branch of Chengxi Community, and others took concealment measures to defraud the clues about the violation of discipline of urban farmers’ subsistence allowances. After investigation and verification, they were all punished.

  Since 2014, Jianhe County has invested 600,000 yuan to establish the "Minsheng Fund Cloud" big data platform. This platform has set up 23 inspection models, such as cadres’ and relatives’ compensation funds and per capita compensation standards, which can give early warning at the first time. At present, the "People’s Livelihood Fund Cloud" big data platform has been launched in southeastern Guizhou, integrating people’s livelihood fund data query, data early warning and data analysis.

  "There are 18 systems involving people’s livelihood in 352 departments in counties and cities in Quanzhou, and 218 kinds of people’s livelihood funds and 36.68 million pieces of data have been entered, involving an amount of 9.858 billion yuan. On this basis, the county and city disciplinary committees also entered more than 26 million pieces of comparison data such as population and family planning information, party member cadre information and trade union membership information in the background. " Li Mingde, director of Qiandongnan Supervision Bureau, said.

  In Tunzhou Village, Jianhe County, the reporter saw such a very simple data query system. People can find out their income from people’s livelihood funds by swiping their ID cards on this machine or entering their ID numbers, including items, amounts, date of issuance, etc. Zhang Dechang, a villager, said: "We will know the money given by the government when we check our ID cards."

  Up to now, a total of 1084 front-end inquiry machines for the big data platform of "People’s Livelihood Fund Cloud" have been set up in Quanzhou, which has achieved full coverage of 16 county and city government service centers and 203 township (street) convenience and benefit service centers. The statewide inquiry machine has received more than 625,000 inquiries.

  "People’s livelihood fund cloud" can accurately discover the problems existing in the distribution and management of people’s livelihood funds, realize the rapid discovery and timely disposal of violations of people’s livelihood funds, and force the competent financial department to take measures to plug regulatory loopholes from the source, which is conducive to strengthening the "dare" atmosphere of violations in the people’s livelihood field.

  The supervision of the "Beidou" bus is always there.

  A short prompt sounded. Early in the morning, Ma Zhigang, the driver who just scrubbed the bus "Shaanxi C23252", quickly read the short message of the departure task in the official car dispatching room of Weibin District: at 9 o’clock, start from the special parking lot for official cars and send the merchants of China Merchants to Xi ‘an Xianyang International Airport.

  However, at 9: 38, the bus equipped with Beidou positioning system suddenly became suspicious: from Baoji to Xi ‘an, it was obvious that it could be reached all the way by high-speed, saving time and dropping by, but the official car dispatching room found that the bus suddenly changed its route through real-time positioning of the driving track in the background, and drove out of the high-speed way along the second-class road. At 10: 57, it took an extra 40 minutes to return to the high-speed.

  After returning, the bus dispatching room immediately asked Ma Zhigang to explain the situation. It turned out that the heavy fog caused the highway to be partially closed that day, so he could only temporarily change the route. The dispatching room investigated and verified it in many ways, and the situation was true, not the private use of the bus. This is a microcosm of the accurate management of official vehicles in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province through information technology.

  In order to further standardize the bus use behavior, Weibin District of Baoji City has installed Beidou positioning module for 30 buses that have compiled a "dual-platform" car support platform and a market-oriented car support platform, so as to realize real-time supervision and data archiving of the running status of vehicles, such as driving time and trajectory.

  "Since it was put into operation on March 11th, 487 official trips of 52 units in the whole district have been guaranteed, without any problems such as private use of buses, and the bus operation cost has been greatly reduced," said Cai Bocheng, deputy director of the Weibin District Office Affairs Management Center. At the same time, it also ensured that general official trips such as local confidential communications, emergency official duties, precise poverty alleviation and administrative law enforcement were not affected.

  According to Zhao Shengtang, deputy director of Baoji Municipal Bureau of Organ Affairs, 2,338 buses have been cancelled in the city’s car reform, and the official car support platforms in 12 counties and high-tech zones have been built one after another. Among them, a total of 111 official car support vehicles at the city level, Weibin District, Jintai District and chencang district District have been installed with Beidou positioning system, realizing scientific and accurate management of data.

  [voice]

  "In the past, some people used buses for private use, and they didn’t know it. Now they are all recorded by positioning systems and computers, and the data won’t lie. This has also inspired grassroots cadres who really start businesses. We come and go in the wind and rain, and the bits and pieces of going to the countryside are printed in the data. "

  WeChat check "four winds" to report a push-to-talk

  "Guo Mou, a staff member of the Practical Affairs Office of Xiangtan County Education Bureau, demanded a card during the bidding process for the renovation project of compulsory education school buildings, and forced the project owner to invite him to eat and drink … …” At 7 o’clock on the morning of November 11th, the official WeChat of Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection "‘ Four winds ’ Report a push-to-talk "and received a report from such a netizen.

  On November 20th, a nearly 600-word reply from Xiangtan County Commission for Discipline Inspection appeared after the report: "After verification, it is true that Guo Wentao is suspected of illegally accepting banquets from clients. At present, the Party Committee of the County Education Bureau has suspended Guo Wentao’s post … …”

  "Check and correct ‘ Four winds ’ We must mobilize and rely on the broad masses. Only by fully unblocking the reporting channels can we make the style of work stubborn among the masses ‘ Golden eyes ’ There is no hiding place under it. " The relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection introduced that on February 24 this year, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection opened "‘ Four winds ’ Report a push-to-talk function, and accept reports from the masses around the clock.

  One day at the beginning of this year, an online report in a few words caught the attention of the staff of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. The whistleblower reported that He Huiming, the former director of the Earthquake Administration of Huaihua City, had taken the official fuel card of the unit for himself for a long time and used the card to refuel his private car many times. The local commission for discipline inspection set up an investigation team to station in the Seismological Bureau to investigate.

  In the face of factual evidence, He Huiming admitted the private use of buses and the reimbursement of private car maintenance costs in the unit. During the whole process of accepting, assigning, investigating and handling this typical problem, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection published the title "Tracking the Investigation Process of a" four winds "online report" on Sanxiang Fengji.com, which made the cadres and the masses understand the relevant reporting procedures and also sounded the alarm for party member cadres.

  [voice]

  The channels of mass supervision are unblocked. Not long ago, I found a pickup truck with the logo of "Planning, Construction and Law Enforcement" parked downstairs in the community. I thought it might be suspected of private use of the bus, so I took out my mobile phone and took a photo and uploaded it to the official WeChat of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. Five days later, the processing results were published online.

Activating the new engine of foreign trade development with digital trade

  Digital economy is a new economic form, which takes digital knowledge and information as the key production factors, digital technology as the core driving force, modern information network as the important carrier, and through the deep integration of digital technology and real economy, it constantly improves the digital, networked and intelligent level of economy and society. At present, digital technology has penetrated into all aspects of economy and society, and has profoundly changed people’s production and life. Digital economy exerts its strength from both digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, which has a great impact on the existing industrial structure. Accompanied by the digital economy, digital trade, as a new trade format, has become an important force leading the innovation and development of service trade, constantly expanding the boundaries of trade.

  Under this background, we need to attach great importance to a series of remarkable changes brought about by the development of digital technology and the rise of digital economy, pay close attention to the new situation and trend of digital trade development, make full use of development opportunities, make up shortcomings and strengthen weaknesses, comprehensively promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, accelerate the digital transformation of industry, enhance the digital level of trade, actively participate in the formulation of international rules in the field of digital economy, and strive for more initiative in future international competition and cooperation. — — Editor

  With the continuous integration of digital technology and international trade and the accelerated development of digital economy, the development status, trend and construction of relevant rules of digital trade have increasingly become an important issue of concern to all countries in the world.

  Digital trade is a new trade format characterized by digital technology, digital service as the core, digital platform as the carrier and digital delivery. It mainly includes information technology services, digital content services and offshore service outsourcing, covering knowledge-intensive service trade fields such as information and communication technology, financial insurance, intellectual property rights, cultural entertainment and other commercial services, and is an important support for industrial innovation, structural upgrading and smooth internal and external circulation. Countries have generally noticed that the development of digital trade is accelerating the flow of global capital, technology, talents, knowledge, data, services and other factors, constantly expanding the boundaries of service trade and expanding economies of scale and scope.

  The Tenth Five-Year Plan and the outline of the long-term goal in 2035 put forward the requirements of "innovating and developing service trade" and "improving the digital level of trade". Leading the innovation and development of trade with digital trade will be an important starting point for China to optimize its trade structure, enhance its trade efficiency, enhance its trade strength and further promote the high-quality development of trade in the coming period.

  foundation in reality

  Advantages and bottlenecks coexist.

  During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, with the accelerated integration of digital technology and service trade, China’s digital trade maintained rapid growth and its scale continued to expand, and its proportion in service trade increased significantly, showing bright development potential. To further promote the development of digital trade, China has obvious advantages in many aspects, such as strong industrial base and active innovation in digital economy. The main manifestations are as follows: China’s digital infrastructure is at the advanced level in the world, the scale of Internet, wireless broadband and mobile terminals is in the forefront of the world, and new technologies such as 5G, supercomputing and quantum communication are leading in the world, and information high-speed channels for key countries in the world have basically been built; The super-large-scale market has obvious advantages, which will strongly promote the industrialization and large-scale development of new technologies, new formats and new models; The industrial scale is huge and the system is complete. Intelligent manufacturing, intelligent services and intelligent agriculture will provide rich application scenarios for the development of industrial Internet and form large-scale data streams, further promoting the development of the whole industrial chain including data storage, transmission, processing and analysis. All these have laid a solid foundation for the better development of digital trade.

  In 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s traditional service trade fell sharply, and digital trade went against the trend. The import and export volume of knowledge-intensive services was 2,033.12 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year, accounting for 44.5% of the total service import and export, up 9.9 percentage points. In the same year, the total import and export of cross-border e-commerce reached 1.69 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.1%, which became a strong support for the growth of goods trade.

  At the same time, we should also see that some constraints in digital trade are also prominent. The service trade level of digital delivery in China is obviously lower than that of some developed economies; The self-sufficiency rate of key core technologies is low, and basic software, core components and high-end chips are imported. The core technologies such as operating systems and middleware in the global software industry chain also rely mainly on other countries, while the core links in the data value chain are controlled by a few multinational companies. There is a shortage of talents in the next-generation information technology fields such as big data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, especially senior technical talents and leading talents.

  development environment

  Opportunities and challenges coexist.

  At present, the development of global digital technology is changing with each passing day, and the level of trade digitalization is greatly improved, which provides good conditions and great opportunities for the development of digital trade in China.

  The accelerated integration of digital technology and industry will promote the large-scale growth of global data flow, accelerate the growth of new formats and new models such as cloud outsourcing, digital media, online education, online entertainment, telemedicine, remote maintenance and mobile payment, and continuously improve the digitalization level of service trade. At the same time, countries along the "Belt and Road" have a vast market, and the digital gap between countries is huge, which has great development space in the fields of information and communication infrastructure construction and information technology service outsourcing, which provides opportunities for China to develop digital trade.

  While welcoming development opportunities, the external environment for development is also severe and complicated, and a series of challenges cannot be ignored. On the one hand, digital trade rules have become an important part of international high-level economic and trade rules. At present, there is still a lack of uniform rules for global digital trade, and the United States and the European Union are leading the formulation of high-standard digital trade rules, which puts higher demands on the internationalization level of digital governance in China. On the other hand, with the rise of protectionism, the international restrictions on digital trade on the grounds of national security are increasing, and the number of economies that levy digital taxes is also increasing, which poses a challenge for Chinese enterprises to "go global".

  future trend

  The market scale is growing and the export capacity is getting stronger.

  Generally speaking, in the coming period, the development of digital trade in China will go further, and the scale, capacity and level will continue to improve.

  First, the scale of digital trade will continue to grow. The development of cutting-edge science and technology, the digital transformation of service industry and the continuous advancement of China’s opening up will accelerate the formation of new international competitive advantages of China’s service trade. The main reason is that the industrial foundation is more solid, and the innovation and application of digital technology will promote the emergence of new formats and new models, enrich the connotation and form of service industry and refine the division of labor. In addition, digital technology will be deeply integrated with more and more vertical fields, and the overall export of "service+"supported by digital technology and guided by high-end services will become the new engine for the development of China’s service trade.

  Second, the export of information technology services will maintain a growth trend. Software and information technology services will continue to accelerate the integration with manufacturing, and related exports will continue to grow; Cloud services will maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate of China’s public cloud market is expected to remain above 30%; The overseas market potential of social media and search engines is huge, and the overseas business in the fields of short video, live broadcast and communication will increase substantially.

  Third, the export capacity of digital content continues to increase. The scale of trade and investment in the digital content industry will maintain rapid growth, and the export markets in the fields of digital media, digital animation and digital publishing will also continue to expand.

  Development ideas

  Increase capacity, promote transformation, improve level and strengthen mechanism

  To further enhance the strength and level of China’s digital trade and lead the development of trade innovation with digital trade, we need to clarify our thinking and focus on the following aspects:

  Comprehensively improve the ability of technological innovation, business innovation and model innovation. Give full play to the advantages of the new national system and the national strategic scientific and technological strength, break through the bottlenecks of key core technologies such as high-end chips and basic software, and strengthen the national strategic planning, scientific and technological special implementation and relevant standards formulation in the field of digital technology; Build an autonomous and controllable digital economy innovation ecology based on the platform, constantly improve the industrial chain, stabilize the supply chain, strengthen innovation chain, promote the docking of domestic and international innovation resources, accurately match supply and demand, and form a data open sharing mechanism and a data-driven innovation development model; Support enterprises to increase R&D investment, strengthen the global distribution of intellectual property rights, create an open, inclusive and cooperative innovation environment, and actively attract foreign R&D institutions; Improve the legal system of intellectual property protection, and increase the protection of software copyright, digital technology patent, digital copyright, digital trademark right and trade secrets.

  Comprehensively promote the digital transformation of industry and trade. Accelerate the integration of 5G, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other public service departments such as agriculture, manufacturing, service industry, medical care and education, and continuously improve the level of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. Specifically, it is necessary to expand the import of digital services related to manufacturing, such as information technology, R&D design and intellectual property rights, so as to promote technological innovation and value chain upgrading; Relying on the trade in goods to drive the export of related digital services such as finance, insurance, settlement, e-commerce and supply chain management, and improve the value-added level of the trade value chain; Give full play to the advantages of data resource integration of platform enterprises, provide information, data and supply chain services for traditional enterprises, support manufacturing enterprises to establish digital, intelligent and networked manufacturing systems and real-time tracking service systems, and develop remote maintenance and data services.

  Explore the international rules of high-level digital trade. Actively participating in the formulation of international rules for digital trade is the key for China to win the initiative and the right to speak in the future global trade competition pattern. In this regard, first, we should continue to optimize the negative list of foreign investment access, expand the opening up of the service industry, attract multinational companies to set up offshore data centers, settlement centers and R&D centers, and improve the level of digital delivery. Second, it is necessary to strengthen coordination and consensus with developed countries, and strengthen market integration, rule docking and mutual recognition of standards by promoting bilateral and regional free trade agreement negotiations. Third, it is necessary to promote the construction of the digital trade rules system and contribute to the "China Program" by promoting the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), the landing of China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment and strengthening the "Belt and Road" digital economic cooperation. Fourth, we should consider promoting the Pilot Free Trade Zone, Hainan Free Trade Port, the service trade innovation and development pilot and the national digital service export demonstration base, take the lead in benchmarking the comprehensive and progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP) rules, conduct stress tests in promoting cross-border free flow of data, intellectual property protection, personal privacy protection, network data security and international supervision, and explore the negative list management system of cross-border service trade.

  Strengthening international cooperation in digital trade with the construction of "Digital Silk Road" as the starting point. Improve the level of digital economic cooperation with countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative, especially relying on China’s digital technology and service advantages to deepen the markets in Southeast Asia and South Asia, promote the export of information technology services and digital content services, develop service outsourcing such as data storage and processing, R&D and design, and remote maintenance, and expand cross-border e-commerce cooperation. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of information, law, early warning and insurance systems to prevent the risk of enterprises’ "going out".

  Pay attention to overall development and safety. At present, data has become a core strategic resource and a key element to participate in international competition. It is necessary to establish a bottom line thinking, put data security in an important strategic position of national security, speed up the improvement of relevant laws such as data security rating and personal privacy protection, as well as the system for the confirmation, trading and use of data resources, explore the establishment of a white list system for cross-border data flow cooperation with relevant countries, and make good plans for possible changes in the international environment in the future.

Israel embeds AI into deadly military action: selecting air strike targets at an unprecedented speed.

  At present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan.

  "If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error? You may kill a family because of a mistake. "

  Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began to use artificial intelligence (AI) system to select air targets and organize wartime logistics work to cope with tensions with Iran and other countries.

  According to a report by Bloomberg on July 17, at present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan. Military officials said that it is now possible to select air targets and carry out attacks within minutes, which is unprecedented speed.

  Supporters believe that these advanced algorithms may surpass human capabilities and help the military minimize casualties, while critics warn that over-reliance on increasingly autonomous systems may have fatal consequences.

  Designed for total war, it has gained practical experience in Gaza.

  Israeli officials said that in addition to using artificial intelligence systems to process a large amount of data and select air strike targets, the military is rapidly carrying out subsequent raids through another artificial intelligence model called "Fire Factory", which calculates the ammunition load according to the air strike target data approved by the military, prioritizes thousands of targets and assigns them to aircraft and drones, and makes a timetable.

  Giving artificial intelligence a high degree of control over military operations has caused a lot of controversy and discussion. An IDF official said that every target and air strike plan of these two systems are currently supervised and audited by human operators, but this technology has not been regulated at any international or national level.

  "If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error?" Tal Mimran, a lecturer in international law at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a former military legal adviser, said, "You may kill a family because of a mistake."

  The details of the military’s use of artificial intelligence are still largely confidential. According to military officials, the IDF conducted regular air strikes in the Gaza by using controversial artificial intelligence systems, and gained battlefield experience. Earlier, Israeli air strikes were frequently carried out in the Gaza in response to rocket attacks. In 2021, the IDF described the 11-day conflict in Gaza as the world’s first "artificial intelligence war", saying that it used artificial intelligence to identify rocket launching pads and deploy drones. Israel has also carried out air strikes in Syria and Lebanon, targeting arms shipments from pro-Iranian militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.

  In recent months, Israel has warned Iran about its uranium enrichment activities almost every day. If a military conflict breaks out between the two countries, the IDF expects Iranian proxy organizations in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon to fight back, which will lead to the first serious multi-front conflict in Israel since the Yom Kippur war triggered by the Egyptian and Syrian raids 50 years ago.

  IDF officials pointed out that tools based on artificial intelligence such as "Firepower Factory" were tailored for this scenario. "What used to take a few hours now only takes a few minutes, plus a few minutes of manual review." Colonel Uri, head of the army’s digital transformation department, said that only his name could be used for security reasons. Speaking at the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces in Tel Aviv, Uri said: "We have done more with the same number of people."

  These officials stressed that the system was designed for total war. The IDF has been using artificial intelligence for a long time. Recently, it has extended these systems to various departments, trying to position itself as a global leader in autonomous weapons. Some of these systems were built by Israeli defense contractors, while others, such as the StarTrack border control camera, were developed by the military. These cameras identify people and objects by watching thousands of hours of video. Together, they form a huge digital architecture, which is specially used to analyze a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and closed-circuit television videos, satellite images, electronic signals, online communications and other data for the military to use.

  Processing these massive information is the task of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Center run by the 8200 military department. The center is located in the intelligence department, where many Israeli technology millionaires complete their compulsory military service before the company succeeds in starting a business. A spokesman said that the system developed by the center "changed the IDF’s concept of targets".

  Serious concern

  The secrecy of the development of such tools has aroused serious concern. Some people think that the gap between semi-automatic systems and fully automatic killing machines may narrow overnight. In this case, machines will be given the ability to locate and strike targets, and human beings will be completely excluded from decision-making.

  "Only some software changes are needed to change them from semi-automation to full automation." Catherine Connolly, an automated decision researcher at Stop Killer Robots, said.

  Another worry is that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence exceeds the research speed of its internal operation. Many algorithms of artificial intelligence systems are developed by private companies and the military, which have secret patent information. Critics emphasize that the inherent mechanism of the algorithm’s conclusion lacks transparency. The IDF admits this problem, but says that the output results are carefully reviewed by soldiers, and its military artificial intelligence system will leave records so that human operators can trace its steps.

  "Sometimes, when you introduce more complex artificial intelligence components, such as neural networks, understand ‘ What has happened to its brain ’ Is quite difficult. So I say I am satisfied with traceability, not with interpretability. In other words, I want to know what is important to me in this process and monitor it, even if I don’t understand every ‘ Neuron ’ What are you doing? " Colonel uri said.

  The Israeli Ministry of Defence refused to disclose the amount of its investment in artificial intelligence, and the military was unwilling to discuss specific defense contracts, although it confirmed that the "fire factory" was developed by Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.

  "We can assume that the United States, China and several other countries also have advanced systems in the field of artificial intelligence." Liran Antebi, a senior researcher at Israel’s National Security Institute, said, "But unlike Israel, as far as I know, they have never demonstrated the actual operation and successful use of the system."

  In February this year, the first global summit on responsible artificial intelligence in the military field was held in the Netherlands. More than 60 countries, including China and the United States, participated in and signed an action initiative on responsible use of artificial intelligence in the military field, and Israel was the only country that did not sign it.

  At present, there are no restrictions on introducing artificial intelligence systems into military operations. Although the United Nations has presided over the negotiations for 10 years, there is no international framework that stipulates who should be responsible for civilian casualties, accidents or unexpected escalation when computers make mistakes.

Cadillac XT6 car series analysis and pricing is close to the people and high-end.

Due to the different policies in different places, the development of fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles in different places is also different. What I bring to you today is that it has many highlights. Let’s get to know each other.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Cadillac XT6. The front face style of Cadillac XT6 is very capable, and the grille is lattice-shaped, which looks very sporty. Coupled with the headlights, the overall look has a certain sense of hierarchy. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Come to the car side, the car body size is 5056MM*1964MM*1780MM, the car uses avant-garde lines, the car body looks very simple and fashionable, with large-sized thick-walled tires, smooth lines running through the whole car side. In the design of the rear end, the rear end and the front face echo each other from a distance, the taillights are very soft, and the shape is relatively young and individual.

Coming into the Cadillac XT6 car, the interior design of Cadillac XT6 looks more fashionable and elegant, and the visual effect is very good. The steering wheel of the car is very round and lovely, and it is made of genuine leather, which makes people fondle it. Take a look at the central control, with the 8-inch touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and looks quite eye-catching. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats again. The dashboard of this car presents an angular design style and looks strong in science and technology. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick and comfortable.

Next, look at the configuration. Cadillac XT6 is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, rear center armrest, rear wiper and other configurations.

After reading this car, I believe you have a general understanding. This class of car is usually the first choice for most people. First of all, it is not expensive, and secondly, all the configurations are quite complete, which is still very worth starting with.

Are the intelligent disputes between Extreme Yue 01 Huan and Aouita 07 ahead of the times?

At present, automobile intelligence has become a battleground for all automobile enterprises and military strategists. Whether it is technical reserve or practical technology applied to products, it has become an important factor to determine the market acceptance of products. China car companies also use this corner to overtake, and together with the power and new energy, they have achieved the status of "middle-class" cars in the global market. In terms of vehicle intelligence, let’s take the benchmark models in this respect to understand the level of vehicle intelligence in China. These two models are Huanxin and Huanxin respectively.

In contrast, there are many overlapping price ranges between the two, so there is the possibility of direct comparison. However, at present, the official of Extreme Yue 01 has given limited-time ordering rights, including a cash discount of up to 27,000 yuan. There is a replacement gift of up to 15,000 yuan and an insurance gift of 8,000 yuan. In this way, the ultra-Vietnam 01 not only has a higher positioning, but also has a price advantage.

ah1731594551176_edit_272281097348213On the design level, Extreme Yue 01 and Aouita 07 are both benchmarks in the automotive design field. Extreme Yue 01 is designed with details acceptable to most consumers, showing the understanding of extreme Yue automobile on fashion and sports. And Aouita 07 is also a "good heart" in the hearts of fashion people, but there are different views in the market only on the acceptance of appearance. In contrast, the ultra-Yue 01 uses a "T" headlight group, a dive body and a rear sliding back design, which makes it more widely accepted in the market.

Aouita Interior 1In terms of intelligence, as a benchmark model in the market, both of them have bright performances. Among them, the most easy to experience intelligence is the sense of science and technology, and the most intuitive embodiment of the sense of science and technology is the interface of human-computer interaction. Extreme Yue 01 uses a 35.6-inch 3D unbounded integrated large screen, which makes its scientific and technological atmosphere easily reflected. Of course, the science and technology experienced by visual senses can only be like goods if there is no "connotation". First of all, Extreme Yue 01 Huan’s new 3D unbounded integrated large screen has a resolution of 6k, a color gamut of 95%NTSC, and the blessing of ROBO matrix dimming technology, which has a good display effect and eye protection ability.

Extreme Yue 01Huan’s new model not only has a stunning interactive screen, but also matches the industry’s flagship intelligent cockpit chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P, which brings 8 times the computing power of Snapdragon 8155 chip. Combined with Baidu ERNIE Bot’s AI big model, Extreme Yue 01 just got on the bus, and became what everyone called "AI intelligent driving medium and large pure electric SUV".

Of course, the performance of Aouita 07 in the intelligent cockpit is also a benchmark. The design of the 35.4-inch thin strip LCD instrument is very unique. Combined with the 15.6-inch central control screen and the HarmonyOS OS blessed by Huawei, the comprehensive performance of the intelligent cockpit is also very good.Extreme Yue 01 Chineydy gray side front

It embodies intelligence, and of course it also includes intelligent driving assistance system. And the intelligent driving assistance system is definitely not a publicity stunt, but an important supplement to driving safety. Extreme Yue 01 Huan’s new model is equipped with ASD Apollo high-order intelligent driving based on Baidu Apollo L4 autopilot. This system and Tesla’s intelligent driving are both visual perception solutions. There are also two flagship NVIDIA Orin-X intelligent driving chips on the hardware, which can achieve the navigation-level intelligent driving assistance capability including highway sections and urban sections at the highest level. In this respect, Extreme Vietnam 01 is indeed in the forefront, and it has also been verified by the "Rapunzel Run" in various cities.

Aouita 07′ s intelligent driving assistance system is still a 96-line three-laser radar scheme from Huawei, and its ability has gained a lot of positive reputation in the market. What needs to be pointed out is that in a German evaluation of the intelligent driving assistance system, Extreme Yue 01 is second only to China’s intelligent driving assistance system and has become the benchmark. Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue Automobile, also challenged Extreme Yue Automobile for 2000 kilometers of intelligent driving. Extreme Yue 01 and its intelligent driving assistance lived up to expectations and achieved an excellent performance of 99.5% of ASD intelligent driving mileage.

Aouita Appearance IIIn terms of power system, the new model of Extreme Yue 01 Huan has been upgraded before the change, mainly in terms of endurance. The battery life of the new entry-level model of Extreme Yue 01 Huan has been increased from the original CLTC pure battery life of 550 km to 580 km. At the same time, the long-life version of CLTC has a pure battery life of 780 kilometers; Even the four-wheel drive model with soaring power has brought 700 kilometers of battery life. The Aouita 07 pure electric version has a maximum battery life of 650 kilometers, and the gap between them is quite obvious.

Jiyue 01 Color Matching-Xinghui Orange

In terms of power performance, the maximum power of the driving motor of the entry-level model of Extreme Yue 01 is 200kw, the peak torque is 343N.m, and the zero-hundred-acceleration time is enough for home use, reaching 7.2 seconds. The maximum power of the front and rear dual motors of the four-wheel drive model is 400kw, the torque is 686N.m, and the acceleration time is only 3.8s s.. Aouita 07 pure electric version has a motor power of 252kw and a torque of 365N.m, and has a stronger power system, which also reduces its acceleration time to 6.3 seconds.

Summary:By comparison, the new version of Extreme Yue 01 Huan and the pure electric version of Aouita 07 have their own advantages. However, in combination with the current official preferential strength of Extreme Yue 01, the price/performance ratio is still quite high. Therefore, when the vehicle is intelligent, the benefits of the new 01 Huan are obvious to all.

Zodiac and cats

Er Ya Yi said, "Cats are the fiercest of small animals. Yin and fear of cold, although lying in the middle of the summer is not afraid; The nose is cold and wet at all times, but it is warm at the summer solstice. If the eyes are fixed in the morning and evening, the day will be like a line, and if it is cloudy, it will be demobilized. After catching rats, its ears are missing like saws, such as tigers eating people and sawing ears. If you wash your face, you will win. " Cats are pets of countless families in today’s cities, and there are countless photos of cats in MengMeng when you open the webpage, which is very cute! In that case, why is it not in the zodiac?

Liang Kai in Southern Song Dynasty’s "The Picture of a Bee and Butterfly Playing Cat" (partial)

There is a saying that there were no cats in our country when the zodiac was scheduled. It was only in the Han Dynasty that this animal was introduced from Egypt, so it is impossible to have cats in the zodiac. So was there a cat in China before the Han Dynasty? Is the cat native to China or imported from abroad?

The selection and arrangement of the zodiac is to compare each animal with people and select 12 animals with specific defects as zodiac signs. Rats have teeth and no teeth, cows have no teeth, tigers have no spleen, rabbits have no lips, dragons have no ears, snakes have no feet, horses have no guts, sheep have no pupils, monkeys have no hips, chickens have no kidneys, dogs have no stomachs, and pigs have no tendons. Naturally, such defects are symbolic, but people do not have these defects. When the sages chose twelve kinds of animals as zodiac signs, they didn’t take the biological characteristics of these animals as the necessary basis. For example, the dragon in the zodiac is not found in the real animal world. The reason why it was also selected into the zodiac is that our sages deified the dragon.

Except snakes, the chronological order of the zodiac is based on the odd-even number of each animal’s paw. Odd digits of paws are arranged in odd digits, and even digits are arranged in even digits.

Rats have four paws on the front foot and five paws on the back foot, which straddle the boundary of Yin and Yang when they are young. When the night is from 23: 00 to 24: 00, they are represented by four paws on the front foot, and when the sun is born, they are represented by five paws on the back foot, which means that the function of bearing Yin and enlightening Yang belongs to rats, so they are expelled when they are young. Cows are artiodactyls, and ugly steaks are second; Tiger has five claws, odd number, and the third is Yinshi tiger; Rabbits have four claws, even number, and the fourth is Maoshi rabbit; The dragon has five claws, odd number, and the fifth is Chenshilong; Snakes have no feet, but the tongue of snakes is bifurcated into two or even numbers, and the sixth is the fourth snake; Horses have round hooves, round hooves, yin and yang meet and blend, and the anode is cloudy. From 11: 00 to 13: 00 at noon, the yin and yang are evenly integrated, so the seventh place is noon horses; Sheep are cloven-hoofed animals, ranking eighth as untimely sheep; Monkeys are also five-clawed, odd-numbered, ranking ninth as Shenshi monkeys; Chickens are four-clawed, even-numbered, and the tenth is unitary chickens; Dogs have five claws, odd number, and the eleventh is the dog; You Zhu is an artiodactyl animal, ranking 12th as the Herpetus pig. In the year of the Zodiac, heavenly stems and earthly branches is a 60-year cycle, and the earthly branch is the year of the Zodiac.

The above 12 zodiac animals have clearly put tigers in. Perhaps it was not that there were no cats in our country at that time. Cats and tigers belong to the same family, and the tiger patterns are gorgeous and magnificent, which is incomparable to cats. In people’s aesthetics, they must choose tigers instead of cats.

Hu Zaobin’s Gu Ying Proud in the Republic of China

Let’s talk about whether there were cats in ancient China.

The Book of Songs Daya Han Yi says, "Kong Le Han Tu, Chuan Ze, Fu Fu, Fu Lu, Xiong, Hu, cat and tiger." Chapter 40 of Yi Zhoushu’s Interpretation of the World’s Prisoners contains: "The King of Wu was inaugural, and there were two birds and tigers, two cats, five thousand two hundred and thirty-five, two rhinoceroses, one yak, one bear, eight jackals, three hundred and fifty jackals, eight raccoons and six owls."

The Book of Songs, Han Yi, itself is the work of Yin Jifu’s beautiful Xuan Wang, which is about the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The titles in Yizhoushu are definitely not written by one person and have different ages. However, Mr. Guo Moruo thinks that only three or two articles in Yizhoushu can be trusted as early Zhou characters in his book A Study of China Ancient Society, and The Interpretation of World Prisoners is one of them, which is the most credible. In the preface to Yi Zhou Shu, Li Xueqin also believed that The Interpretation of World Prisoners was a work in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the poem "Han Yi", domestic cats are so small that they can’t be qualified to be sung in parallel with large mammals such as deer, bears, tigers and leopards. King Wu can’t show off his valor by killing a kitten when hunting. The cats in these two articles are definitely not domesticated domestic cats, but should be bobcats the size of tigers. But at least this article tells us that the word "cat" has been widely used in the pre-Qin period before Han Dynasty and even in the early years of Zhou Dynasty. The animal character "cat" must have been created after the cat first. Shuo Wen Xu said: "Cang Xie, the history of the Yellow Emperor, saw the traces of birds and animals’ hooves, and knew the differences and differences, and he first made a book contract." Xu Shen’s textual research tells us that Cangjie’s characters are made according to birds and animals. The word "cat" came first, and then the word "cat" came out. In the Song Dynasty, Lu Dian explained the mouse cloud: "Rats harm seedlings, and cats can catch them, so cats follow seedlings." This poem also tells us that the seedlings of Chinese farmers have been harmed by rats since ancient times.

"The Book of Songs Xiaoya Datian": "Fuck the moth and its pest, it’s harmless to my field. Tian Zu has a god, and he is burning with fire. " In the Song Dynasty, Luo Yuan wrote in Er Ya Yi: "People are also those who are angry when they go to repel insects and thieves. Those who go to the field of voles are cats and tigers. " And Luo would like to think that cats and tigers are the gods of Tian Zu. Rats kill seedlings and jackals destroy crops. Cats catch mice to raise seedlings, while tigers eat pigs to protect crops (crops that are ripe for storage are called crops). During the week, farmers regarded cats and tigers as grain gods and greeted them with sacrifices. "Book of Rites, Special Sacrifice in the Suburb" contains: "Welcome the cat and eat voles for it; Welcome the tiger and feed it. Welcome and sacrifice. " The Duke of Zhou made rites and made merry, so the cat here is definitely not a bobcat hunting, but a cat that is the natural enemy of rats. This is also the cat of the Zhou Dynasty, but also the cat of China.
