Luo Yonghao comments on iPhone 15: Apple plagiarized the Shinian Capsule
In the early morning of September 13, the iPhone 15 pro’s mute button was switched to a button after its release. It can be pressed and held to mute the button, and it can also be customized as a shutter button for taking photos or a start button for voice memos. Netizens joked: "This is not the parent company's decentralization of Shannian capsule technology, Smartisan Technology's advanced technology, Lao Luo staying up all night, etc."
In this regard, Luo Yonghao also expressed his own opinion: I disagree that there is nothing new, at least the Shannian Capsule is copied very well. To be honest, I'm glad to see them copying it, so that other companies will follow suit, and the users will ultimately benefit. This feature is very important for busy business people and those working in creative industries, and there are many possibilities. The above are objective facts + real feelings, and are not meant to be sarcastic. There were originally some derogatory words, but they were all deleted in the end. (Finance Network)

Study finds ChatGPT can develop software in seven minutes, at an average cost of less than $1
A new study shows that artificial intelligence chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT can run a software company quickly and cost-effectively. The researchers explored whether an artificial intelligence robot driven by ChatGPT's version 3.5 language model could complete the software development process without prior training. To test this, the researchers created a hypothetical software development company called ChatDev. After assigning 70 tasks to ChatDev, the study found that the AI-powered company could complete the entire software development process in an average of less than seven minutes and at a cost of less than a dollar, while using its "memory" and "self-reflection" ” ability to identify and address “potential vulnerabilities.” (Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily)
Apple's new facial recognition patent can tell twins apart
On September 12, Apple’s patent application for “Vein Matching for Difficult Biometric Authentication Situations” was granted. The patent abstract shows that the patent can use subepidermal imaging of the face to evaluate subepidermal features, such as blood vessels and veins, when the device authenticates the user in facial recognition. During the authentication process, when a user's face is identified as an authorized user with less certainty, the patent could use an assessment of subepidermal features to differentiate between users with closely related facial features, such as siblings or twins.
