In addition to first-degree intentional homicide and attempted murder, he faces two charges for reckless endangerment, reckless homicide and the possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.
There are two main approaches to developing artificial general intelligence. One is rooted in neuroscience, and attempts to construct circuits that closely mimic the brain. The other is grounded in computer science, and uses computers to execute machine-learning algorithms. In this week’s issue, Luping Shi and his colleagues reveal the Tianjic chip 天机芯 — an electronic chip that integrates the two approaches into one hybrid platform. The Tianjic chip has multiple functional cores that are readily reconfigurable, enabling it to accommodate both machine-learning algorithms and brain-inspired circuits. The researchers demonstrate the potential of this approach by incorporating one of their chips into a riderless autonomous bicycle, which can self-balance, is voice controllable and can detect and avoid obstacles, all as a result of the Tianjic chip’s simultaneous processing of versatile algorithms and models.
FosunPharma and its German partner BioNTech announced Thur the supply of 10 million doses of mRNA vaccine (BNT162b1) for COVID19 to Hong Kong and Macao, after clinical trials proved the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine and approval from the authorities is gained. None for the roaches.
The destroyer USS Mustin on Thursday trespassed into China’s territorial waters in the Xisha Islands. The PLA Southern Theater Command organized naval and air forces to track it and warn it away.
