Hotspot 1:
Recently, Volkswagen officially launched its new pure electric MPV model - Volkswagen ID. Buzz, the new car pays tribute to the classic T1 of the 1950s in appearance, and this time a total of two models were launched, which were positioned as the ID of the MPV. Buzz, as well as the ID of the located closed van. Buzz Cargo。
Hotspot 2:
According to the latest reports, Singer Grimes, the ex-girlfriend and singer of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, said in an interview that she and Musk had their first daughter through surrogacy, and she and Musk preferred to call her "Y". The name is reminiscent of a Tesla electric car, the Model Y.
Hotspot 3:
In the early morning of March 9, Apple's 2022 spring conference arrived as scheduled, iPhone SE, iPad, Mac and other product lines have been updated, some people say that the current Apple conference has become a "new bottle of old wine", the same ID design, but also some people see Apple's hidden ambitions behind the M1 chip and SE series.
Big and small horses talk about science and technology, use poisonous and spicy perspectives, and talk about science and technology hotspots.
Talk about three cars and tech hotspots a week, I'm Egg Puree, I'm David, I'm Electric Emma.
Egg puree:
Let's start with the first topic: ID.Buzz release! Has Volkswagen electrification been successful?
But this time ID.Buzz is really amazing, let our honorable Porsche owner David, look at it and want to buy it, right?
David:
I really want to buy it, I want to take a Porsche and exchange it.
Emma：
I look at the fans of the public on the Internet and say, Volkswagen, you hurry to release in the country, and if you don't release this car, it will be called Euler. Because we all know that the punk cat series looks a lot like the Beatle's sister.
Yes, from Type 1 to Type 2.
There will always be one in The country.
There will definitely be one for the country, and not just Euler. I see that there are netizens in the posted video below the message, @ Wuling Motors said come and see, I want this, change the headlights back to the round lights on the line. Baoshitai it is out of business, now it is up to Wuling and Euler to see if they can do one.
It ID.Buzz the name is quite interesting, it is buzz, that is, the buzz of the little bee, but in fact, it is also a bit in harmony with bus, B-U-S, and there is also a tribute to the Buzz lightyear, all kinds of harmonic stems.
Yes, this car finally doesn't look like Volkswagen's matryoshka face, which makes me really like this design. You see that all the designs of Volkswagen before were the face of the matryoshka doll, and the feeling is that the three bars, from the smallest car to the largest car, are all the same.
Yes, and this time in fact, its design and the previous prototype car T1 is still relatively different, its this is not a particularly completely square, especially the front, the original is actually directly slipped down, but its wind resistance control is not very good, but this time it is equivalent to closer to our daily car.
In this way, it makes me feel very amazing one of the data, that is, its wind resistance coefficient is controlled to 0.285, which is actually very powerful for this model, very powerful.
It has gone through several stages in the middle, at the beginning is a square prototype car, directly the front of the car slipped down, and then in order to improve its wind resistance, it became this, we often see the front face of the V in the photo, including its front windshield is actually divided into two pieces, called split front windshield. And now, it's equivalent of making it a slope, which not only controls the drag coefficient very well, but also more like a mass production car that we can drive.
The car does have the feel of homage to the minivans of the 1960s, including the gigantic logo.
Yes, the minivan you're talking about I've sat on, because my old owner has a collection, it's a minivan made in Brazil more than 50 years ago, and then it still has a license plate in the country. So the first time I sat in this car, I felt that wow is true, as long as you drive this car, no one does not look back at you, its appearance is really high, but it is really difficult to drive. I don't know because it looks like a loaf of bread, really like a big loaf of bread, so it doesn't work that wind, causing you to slam on the accelerator on the highway, and it can't go past 80 km/h at its top speed.
I see that this car accelerates 100 kilometers 30 seconds away, and some say that if you drive a Mercedes-Benz big G, like a trainer on the gym, then this T1 of the volkswagen will turn itself into a donkey to grind.
This car is not easy to drive, but David, have you ever studied how well it does in terms of intelligent driving? If it is a car that is not easy to drive but has a high appearance, it is actually especially suitable for having a kind of automatic assisted driving.
This car did not say that it has a special number of automatic driving functions, but it should have the ability of L2+, that is, lane line keeping, distance in front of the car, etc., these basic must be there.
However, after Volkswagen wants to do L4 level automatic driving, it is actually based on this car.
That's right, Argo, which works with Argo, a very good American self-driving company that also makes its own lidar. So the car made a prototype with Argo to do L4 testing, and there was a huge large flower pot on the top of the head, and that big flower pot was Argo's own lidar.
However, this car is indeed very suitable for automatic driving cars, its riding space is very abundant, and its design itself is very attractive.
Yes, and there is a lot of internal space inside, so at the end of the day, we can put 5 computers.
Yes, and I don't know if you've done any research on the history of this car. In fact, it is a particularly emotional car, and its prototype is called T1. I even have very serious doubts that the mobile phone Smartisan T1 made by Lao Luo before is a tribute to it, but also to take this emotional route, and even the public has previously produced a book, called "BULLI LOVE" is actually about the various histories of this car, this book is difficult to buy in China, and it is basically speculated into sky-high prices.
You look at this car, this car was watching Forrest Gump at the time, there was a lot of it, the American hippies in the sixties and seventies, how many Americans do you say were built from this car?
Yes, make love not war.
对。 make love no war 。
In fact, on the one hand, when the Vietnam War was fought, American youth made this kind of anti-war demonstration, and its huge logo was replaced by an anti-war symbol, which is this kind of peace medal. The meaning behind it is to make everyone anti-war, in fact, it also corresponds to the situation we have now, in fact, many people are also currently anti-war, I think the exposure of this car, will be more.
This is the first symbol, when it was in the United States it was more of a symbol of anti-war, and then in fact, if you push it further, it is also a representative model of Germany's recovery after World War II, because it is a particularly versatile, I see both turning it into a fire truck, then turning it into a German cargo lala, and then making it into a nurse car.
Yes, the camper van, I think it actually represents a recovery process after Germany was defeated in World War II, so it is these two major events, one is the German recovery, and the other is the American anti-war, so that the whole car has become a special historical, particularly emotional model. So now in fact, every May, there are a lot of people in France who drive this Beetle and then drive this T1, and they will have this kind of big party feeling.
This car really represents that unruly era of the '60s. If you go further, it is actually the Beetle of the 40s, the Beetle represents an era, and this minivan also represents an era. Even in the cartoon Racing Story, it has a more rounded gas car called filmo, which is also the Volkswagen T1.
In this regard, Volkswagen is really good, whether it is the Beetle or this minivan, in fact, everyone thinks it is well designed, and the design is novel, everyone thinks that the car is good, and the price is not expensive, this is actually a very difficult combination.
The people's car, Volkswagen, yes, the people's car people have to like it.
And then it's tied up, and there's still an economic recovery from the kind of cultural movement that Egg Puree just said. So its place in the history of the automobile is very different.
Yes, I remember when I was a child, the car I remembered the most was when I watched Conan, Conan it was the man in black, the man in black he didn't drive that Beetle, it was really powerful, its first car and the second car are actually still a lot of people to follow it, right, let's change a brand, can you remember BYD its first car is what? Or not to cite BYD's example...
I can still remember. Because one day I was talking to a designer and he said he was designing a BYD car, the F3. And then I said are you proud of yourself? He said, "Oh, how to say this, this is the beginning of our national industry."
It's your design that won't continue to be used until now, right? Now the T1 car, in fact, a lot of China's kind of stall car is to imitate, such as what a small barbecue, put a what Italian handmade ice cream ah, and this kind of wedding car, put it there as the background, its design is really very classic. And let a lot of people still, like now, have been decades old, and are still paying tribute to it, this is really what we need to learn from it.
Yes, there are a few cars that are indeed enduring, and its design was very powerful back then, like the Beetle, needless to say, and the mini cooper, right, and the minivan, and when you think of it, the image of this icon is in your mind.
And to say that you can talk to your dad and even your grandpa about this car is just that everyone is constantly changing generations. In fact, the United States also has such a god car, which is Ford's F150 pickup truck.
And Volkswagen this is very powerful, I think you just said that a person of different ages can talk about a piece because of this car, and this car can make men and women talk about a piece. You are like that Kind of Ford pickup truck, Tesla pickup truck is good, it is very cool, but in fact, the attraction for girls is not so big, this car is cute and not cheap, this image is really too much to like.
Yes, you use the word particularly well, cute and not cheap.
Tesla was still relatively straight men's car before, but the Model 3 has slightly improved, and women's evaluation of the Model 3 is actually quite high.
But let's compare it, Volkswagen's Porsche brand, its Porsche Taycan sales are particularly strong, Porsche Taycan sales have accounted for 15% of the overall Porsche sales. Let's compare 5% of Volkswagen, and then Porsche Taycan accounts for 15%, so relatively speaking, in fact, Volkswagen has a lot of room for progress on the road of pure electricity, and we have high emotional intelligence.
So I'm looking forward to his performance in this ID.Buzz. I feel that if it can really be introduced to China before, for example, Euler and What Wuling Hongguang launch similar models, I personally feel that it can still sell quite well. Because everyone is now on this MPV model, I think there is still a lot of potential.
This car as a family, including I have children, I especially want to buy one, daily travel can be put anything. And I don't have any requirements for speed and intelligence in this car, because it is a home travel or a car that everyone usually plays.
Indeed, the car looks like it so long that you have no other expectations for it.
After the drain fell, everyone went camping, directly as an RV can also be.
I think this car is the T1 before it, the kind that sells better is the kind that can put it flat, a bit of a feeling of doing lala, the best selling in Europe is this model, not the kind of 6-seater 7-seater three-row kind, but the kind that can completely lie flat.
And Volkswagen I said before that the book it came out of is called "BULLI LOVE", and the opening sentence of this book still impressed me quite deeply, saying that this car was originally a member of the working class, but now the thing is that which class has it is the icing on the cake. So for David, the owner of a Porsche, you don't actually have to change your Porsche, it's just a icing on the cake, right, you can drive your Panamela when you drive yourself, but if you travel as a family, it's actually the icing on the cake to drive this ID.Buzz.
Yes, take my skis with you.
To say that part of it, the ID series, in fact, our next self-driving test platform will be converted to the Volkswagen ID series. There are two considerations, the first is that the ID series of electricity plans are still doing a good job, including its horizontal, vertical, and intelligent driving bags, which bring a lot of convenience to us to add automatic driving functions later; the other point is that we definitely hope that there is a car that can be continuously promoted.
In this regard, sometimes some OEMs in China are insufficient, you may have done a self-driving program last year, and as a result, next year it has stopped production as a whole, so it does not have a family inheritance or coherence like we just started the program, it is testing the market, this can be, then continue to go on, if not immediately terminated, so we must choose a platform like Volkswagen, I believe that once the ID series is launched, it should be 10 years up, Instead of saying plan this product in less than ten years.
I have a layman's question, that is, like you do self-driving cars, is there any model, which car company is the easiest for everyone to cooperate with automatic driving, that is, you all want to use its car as a test car?
In fact, at the beginning, the world's autonomous driving companies are using Lincoln MKZ, but not because lincoln this car it took the initiative to open, but because some third-party modification companies, because the supplier behind Lincoln has ZF and so on, it cracked its wire control protocol, open to everyone. Then the Lincoln car has very good handling and response to the overall wire control, so we call it an autonomous driving modified god car.
So in the future, in fact, with the development of automatic driving, each company has differentiated, that is, it will definitely be tied to its own main engine factory, so at this time it will be separated, some companies are tied to Toyota, some companies are tied to domestic car companies, such as GAC, and some are bound to German car companies. So everyone continues along that platform, instead of having a public platform and letting everyone do it on it, because the further back you go, the more detailed your scene is.
Yes, in fact, the platform that David just mentioned is really very important, Volkswagen is better at doing this platform, such as the previous fuel vehicle is the MQB platform, the more powerful selling is the small golf, and now in the electric vehicle stage, Volkswagen is doing its MEB platform.
Yes, we have tested many cars before that they are not iterative, and here I will not name which car companies, resulting in us wasting a lot of time and energy.
Roll call is okay.
Talk about technology hotspots with a poisonous and spicy perspective.
Geely Geometry A changed Geometry A out of Geometry C, A stopped production, and now even C is discontinued. Then you see BYD is also, before the Qin PRO plus is still very friendly to automatic driving, including the trunk even 220 volts of power supply to give everything, this car was discontinued. Then like the Great Wall, since its establishment, the original Great Wall itself, like the Wei Sect, has also stopped production. So we have done a lot of development based on these platforms before, which means that now we must be forced to move to a new platform, then we will choose the mass platform, this time you tie up a German company, it is impossible to change the money.
Then I wonder why BYD, it is now Qin, Tang, I see if it is also iterative quite fast?
Pretty fast, very fast.
But why did you just say that its automatic driving, previously based on Qin Pro, but it has stagnated?
I guess it's because of the sales problem, maybe the sales are not so ideal, so the car stopped, or it didn't open up this part of the autonomous driving capability.
Okay, so let's move on to the second topic, Musk surrogate daughter. Some time ago, the media exposed that musk, the world's richest man, has a new girlfriend, but what is more explosive is that at the same time, it was exposed that he has a new daughter, which should be his seventh child, right?
Eighth child, eighth child.
Emma, you have studied Musk's love history and compared these gossip news, do you want to?
Not just good for gossip news, all-round understanding.
Yes, I also wrote a book specifically.
Musk's emotional history Emma knows, Musk wrote for you yes.
Emma would like to tell you more about this?
I don't know if you have seen that he has a very good relationship with his last son, anyway, he will take this young son with him at any press conference. He didn't have six sons before, those six sons are all grown up and almost adult, and now Musk is almost 50 years old, and it is fun to have a child. So his close relationship with that child made him want to have a girlfriend with him, or use the original sperm, the original egg to regenerate one, and then surrogate, give birth to a daughter.
His youngest son is nicknamed X, and then this time his daughter is called Y, and I seriously doubt that he wants to put together a SEXY, Model S and Model Y, and there is still an S and E, right.
And his full name is also like that, I don't even know how to pronounce it.
I also don't pronounce it. How will they name the teacher in the class in the future? So they say that we normal people use the child's name as the password, and Musk is good, directly using the password as the child's name.
And he built a school for his children called Ad Astra, which Chinese meant to lead to the stars. Emma, did you do some research on this school?
I didn't write a book about Musk before, the first chapter was about his relationship with his children. It was because of an interview that Musk was asked if you were afraid of death, and then Musk said that he was scared before, but since he had children, he was not very afraid, because he felt that part of his hardware and software would be passed down. This is the answer of a very geek man. He said that the hardware level is that the child inherits at least half of your genes, and then depending on how much time and energy you have to cultivate the child, you will also reflect it at his software level.
Then I'm curious, Musk, you have four companies, where do you have time to raise children, educate children? His logic is that since I am too busy to educate my children all the time, I will build a school that fully represents my personal will and educational philosophy, and I will use this school to cultivate my children.
In fact, this concept is particularly good, I have always felt that people should not be divided by grade, but by hobbies. Because of the grade, it is true that in the process of growing up, some children understand early, some children develop early, then you use the grade to divide, in fact, it is easy to put some really talented children in the first grade and second grade, which has already made him have a major frustration. So if you're interested, actually first- and third-graders are interested in one thing, and they can be in a class.
Yes, and if you do come out of society, you won't say that you are assigned jobs because of your age, and all social activities are basically mixed age.
That's right. And everyone's familiarity and maturity with different subjects are actually different, for example, when I was young, mathematics was particularly simple for me. I felt that when I was young, I listened to math classes in the first few grades, and to be honest, I was a waste of time, but like Chinese English, it was more crotch-pulling. I remember when I was young, I still had to go across classes, because I thought I would already take this class, I went to the senior grade to audit it, I applied specifically, and the teacher was very good, and agreed. Therefore, different people have different maturity levels for different subjects.
I'm curious about Emma, the school you studied musk at, Ad Astra, what's so special about its education?
I think there's innovation in everything. If you want to use a word, it is to completely make the school and society out of touch. For example, when it is looking for a teacher, then our normal school loves to recruit people who have received professional training to be teachers, teacher training schools, but like Musk, this school will find that kind of crazy programmer to teach programming, find artists to teach drawing. The characteristics of these teachers must be very high in the first place, and he will not take too much care of the child's acceptance, he speaks normally, fast and jumping is difficult to follow.
Musk just wants to use this to raise his kids, to get the point quickly from that very clever but very scattered information, because you are out of society, and no one is going to feed you knowledge like your language teacher, like your mother. So I think this ability is actually very useful in society, but in school, it is actually more difficult for us to have the opportunity to train.
Yes, indeed, because our own primary and secondary education comes from Prussia, Germany, in order to cultivate social screws.
And I know that this school actually let the children use the latest technology very early. For example, we may have a little understanding of VR equipment in recent years, but in fact, people have taken these VR devices to geography classes, astronomy classes and so on very early on, in fact, these latest cutting-edge scientific and technological means have been used on these children for a long time. Anyway, this is also a pros and cons, for example, everyone actually looks at these children wearing VR devices, and thinks it will not be a little easy to autistic or something.
But Musk has an interesting idea, he said that his children are also very loving, like all children like to play computer games. Then he set a rule for the child, saying that the time you read the book can not be less than the time you play the game, you are willing to play 10 hours of games, then you have to read 10 hours of books, I think this trick is quite cruel.
Quite fierce, this is suitable for the company's performance rewards.
Then there is another thing that I am particularly impressed by is that although their classes are divided into different subjects, their homework is basically integrated with various disciplines. I remember looking at their homework, one of the teachers said that that day they learned how to search for things on the Internet, and then learned the sonnets of Romeo and Juliet, anyway, in different disciplines, then his last assignment was to let the child deeply understand the image of the two protagonists outlined in this sonnet, that is, Romeo and Juliet. Then from your personal point of view, arrange a cost-effective honeymoon trip that two people will like, including booking flights, booking hotel prices, and various arrangements for what trip.
I think this is particularly interesting, because we usually have every subject in the school, like the prisoner's cell, which is completely divided, without any intersection. But in fact, when we are working, when you communicate with people, you are not isolated, different disciplines.
Yes, after talking about this Musk child, I am actually still more interested in Musk's girlfriends, I checked it, you see the reason why the richest man broke up with his girlfriend, it is no different from us ordinary people, it is also this kind of personality discord, habitual discord, right. I think because Musk prefers to be tidy, but his girlfriend prefers to put everything out, and then Musk prefers this high-quality design, simple aesthetics, but his girlfriend prefers to buy this death note carpet from a second-hand store.
There is also said that although Musk is the richest man, in fact, many of his habits are very poor, for example, they are in Los Angeles, there is a mattress with a hole, Musk said that it is enough to move your mattress over. Then his girlfriend said that this big brother lives not very much like this kind of billionaire, sometimes living below the poverty line, I don't know if you think it's true, Musk is indeed alive, sometimes very crotch?
In fact, this is a state of mind. Just like I give an example, how rich a person, he is faced with some promotions, he may be moved, then you say that he is not greedy for this cheap? He's certainly not coveting this cheapness, he thinks that since there can be such an offer, or that it is a part of my life, I can't say that I hang myself up and live, then everything is like that, and it is not the emperor, right? The emperor may not know that an egg sells for a few dollars in the market, but we are all normal people, we are all socialized people, so I don't think this is a problem.
And just now the egg paste also said that the two of them quarreled are also some trivial matters in life. I was talking to my wife about this one day, I said that there is a quarrel in the family, no one quarrels because of ideology, you support this country, I support this country, no, I can't live with you. Because from the very beginning of the contact between two people, if there is a huge difference in ideology, it is impossible to come together, in fact, in the end it is these small things, that is, why your toothpaste is squeezed in the middle, my toothpaste is squeezed in the tail, these are all these things.
Yes, I know Buffett invites Bill Gates to dinner, and coupons are used when eating McDonald's.
Yes, I have heard a saying in turn, we call money, wealth, fame, status, can not affect you as a normal person, what does it mean? Just because I have money, I can't take the subway, then it's very pitiful. Actually you think that if you become the president of the United States, this aspect will become very pitiful, because you have the Secret Service, protect you every day, you lose a lot of ordinary people's fun, I want to go to the side of the road to buy a fried chicken leg, and then the Secret Service said no, it's not safe over there, you can't go, this is different. So even the richest man, I think he has the right to enjoy the life of a normal person. From this understanding, I think it is better.
But what makes him different from us is that he is divided into two parts with his last girlfriend. Because they can't live together in life, they live separately, but they are still together, which is more difficult for many ordinary families.
I crossed the key words, lived separately, and lived together.
The average family doesn't have that many houses, yes.
Welcome to give us more comments and feedback, which is the greatest support and help for us. In each episode, we will sample a friend's wonderful review and send a gift package.
This time we selected the B station netizen "Sunshine and My Cat", who commented at the bottom of the last video: I like this series too much, I don't know when I can see the discussion about the type of biotechnology, such as the topic of original drugs, innovative drugs, generic drugs, as well as some ethical issues brought about by animal organ transplantation, as well as brain-computer interface technology. Thanks to Sunshine and My Cat for the message we left, we will send you a private message to send you a mystery package, and in the next show, we will talk about a biotechnology topic that interests you. Here are also welcome other friends to leave us a message, tell us about the hot topics you are interested in.
Okay, so let's talk about the third topic: Apple's chip conference is the best. I don't know how you feel after watching Apple's conference, anyway, I think it's easiest to talk about, and I watch the fastest of these video content, in fact, this iPhone's new color, green, I see netizens give the Chinese pastoral mung bean fly, name various names, what hat green, A share green, fly green, China post green or whatever. I think the hardest thing to talk about is this chip, because the chip is still more difficult to understand.
I actually heard that in some investment institutions, there is a similar situation. For example, when you talk about the kind of relatively hard technology, what life sciences, quantum computing and so on, when you talk about this project, no one speaks, and then listens to the most authoritative one, but when you talk about the new consumption that everyone contacts more, for example, talk about what kind of tea, talk about what sells coffee, keep fitness or whatever, everyone's opinion comes, and it begins to be discussed very warmly.
This point in the previous recruitment I also found, for example, we want to make a To-C product, this product manager is relatively easy to recruit, because he himself is also using, he can feel every day, the professional field of professional products product manager is very difficult to recruit, because this field is very niche, for example, I am now going to recruit a product manager of an autonomous driving map, wow, it is already very small, so it can be said out, and there are fewer people who have a good product sense.
So David, what do you feel more impressed by this Apple conference?
This M1 Ultra he released, how to say it, I can't blow it too much, because I'm often told you're an Apple blower. But like I said to Emma that day, I said Apple is really great, and you think how long its front line is stretched? In the streaming industry, it's a direct confrontation with HBO and Netflix, right? In the mobile phone industry, there is a direct confrontation with The Android operating system, a direct confrontation with Samsung's mobile phone in terms of hardware, and then the desktop system is directly confrontation with Windows, so now the chip has dumped his original suppliers AMD, Intel and NVIDIA directly, which is equivalent to saying that he has done the things of these three companies and done better than these three companies.
yes. Its M1 chip is truly disruptive.
And when the M1 Max was released before, everyone thought that this was already the peak of the M1, and the result was that the direct performance was doubled this time.
Didn't expect it to be able to take glue to glue it to two, hehehe.
Its price is also very impressive.
To be honest, for example, like your friend Tim of the film and television hurricane, they are suitable for buying such a product, and it can really give him a lot of productivity improvement. Because we think about it, if we are a TV station, then we have a program in a hurry to produce, you use this traditional graphics card rendering method may take 20 hours, you use this M1 Ultra may be two hours, then of course you save all the staff time, the staff's time is the cost, so if in the professional field is really not expensive.
But you said this saves the employee's time, the employee's original export time he can still rest there, take a nap, 15 to 20 minutes to close his eyes, right, you don't let the family rest, two minutes to export, ugly capitalist David, haha.
Yes, I talk about its chip, in fact, many times people do not understand what this thing is for. It is a SOC, we call it system on chip, that is, the function of the graphics card, that is, the function of the GPU and the function of the CPU, and now we call the neural network chip, the function of the NPU is all integrated on a chip, and it puts the memory module that we need to buy separately on its side, this design is too bold and avant-garde. Of course, it also has a relationship with it to find this TSMC, that is, TSMC to do OEM, and find such a good partner, otherwise it will not be able to get this chip.
But in terms of architecture, I believe everyone understood before, we buy a motherboard, the motherboard has a CPU, and then buy a graphics card and a GPU separately, and then buy a memory module separately, it is actually decentralized. Then decentralization brings some problems, the first is its efficiency, the second is power consumption and so on. Then Apple will integrate the entire chip together, so in order to integrate this chip together, it needs to have related patents.
So it gets arm long-term authorization, it is actually using ARM's architecture, so it is not the X86 architecture. So the use of ARM's architecture has invisibly brought another part of the assets to it, that is, all its computers and tablets and mobile phones can be common to a compiled language, and then all the apps can be universal, so it is actually three birds with one stone, very powerful.
Yes, just now David mentioned, because the Apple chip is TSMC OEM, in fact, I just recommend you to read a book called "Zhang Zhongmou Autobiography", Zhang Zhongmou is the boss of TSMC. His qualifications are really very bullish, including you can also search for some of his speech videos on the B station, although he has some videos that are more controversial, at that time, what is said that the chip level of the mainland is still many years behind TSMC, and then everyone is spraying him, but the actual person is the absolute authority of the chip industry, right? In fact, I think that if what people say is right, we have to learn it.
This autobiography of his is actually divided into upper and lower books, the upper book is what I recommended just now, and the next book I don't know if it has come out. Ben said that he was going to finish it in these two years, but because he was very old, and then for physical reasons, I don't know if I could see it, anyway, I was especially looking forward to seeing the next volume he wrote.
In fact, they all came from a company at the earliest, Texas Instruments TI, TI is a very amazing company, I sometimes talk to others about TI, he said that it is the company that makes calculators? I said how do you only know a calculator, you haven't used TI products since high school, right? So TI is very powerful in the field of professional chips, and it is an American version of the chip Whampoa Military Academy, we can understand it this way, we know that this kind of Chinese people are particularly powerful chip bulls, are from TI that year, and TI out of the talent to create Intel.
In fact, Zhang Zhongmou's journey is also worth paying attention to, especially these outstanding talents overseas. At that time, his ancestors were Chinese mainland everything, but later when he said that he was going to come back, it was actually Taiwan, and it was a special attempt to pull him back, originally to let him do this kind of minister in charge of science and technology, I remember, but then he did it for a while and came out, simply made a company to do this chip. In fact, this is also a reminder that these overseas talents, we actually Chinese mainland we must also be particularly active in pulling them back.
I have a problem, by looking at it this M1 Ultra, I feel that in fact, Apple has a lot of big tricks in its hands, but it does not release it for you first, just infiltrate a little bit every time, a bit like squeezing toothpaste.
Of course, squeezing toothpaste is not as hard as Intel squeezing. Intel is a chip patent that has been squeezing toothpaste, and there is no difference between the 10th generation and the 11th generation. So you see Apple actually hit Intel off guard. Since the termination of the contract at that time and the termination of cooperation, everyone has thought that Apple and chip companies such as Intel have terminated their contracts, so what about this desktop-level product after that?
At that time, it was still very pessimistic, in fact, Apple could have such a confidence to terminate the contract with Intel, indicating that it had done a very good job of layout, and this was a very bold idea, that is, I made my own chips, made my own hardware, built my own software, built my own cloud, and even built my own ecology. Oh my God, it's all made by yourself.
Apple is so powerful, I think looking at the state of some of my classmates in the United States, I found that Apple and Tesla are the most fierce overtime in Silicon Valley, so I explain why they can walk in front, and the speed of innovation has always been very fierce.
And Apple and Tesla are very similar in many points, product-oriented, but the underlying technology is very hard, and they are all vertically integrated. I have talked to many friends before, I said that in the mobile phone industry, there is actually a vertical integration provider, and there is an open ecological business, such as Android, Android open ecology, and then there are Samsung, Xiaomi, etc. These companies make mobile phones for it, then Apple is its own system, its own hardware. In desktop products is also like this, Apple's mac OS and Windows it is directly competitive, then Apple is also doing its own vertical integration.
In the field of cars, in fact, Tesla is a vertical integration, my own car, my own chip, my own software, etc., then this place may appear an open ecological company, maybe NVIDIA, maybe Baidu Apollo and so on, we can't see it for the time being. But if Apple also runs in this direction to build a car, then it is as hard as Tesla. That' as we just said, Apple is on every front with the most cattle company head-on, and just good, so it is also very much looking forward to.
Yes, the people who grabbed Teslas in Apple's car department were particularly powerful. And then I heard that Apple has a signing bonus, you jump from Tesla, just give you how much money, and then add 25% to your original Tesla salary, and so on.
Including we just recently mentioned Tesla's Model Y, this 2022 Model Y, in fact, I have a special feeling, Tesla it is more and more like, when I used the iPhone 4, it is the feeling of Apple products, more and more like, in addition to what David just said, he and Apple are this vertical integration, there is that because they are also self-developed chips, and said that the integration of their products is really very solid, which actually makes me feel that in the field of cars, Tesla is actually very much like Apple. Although we just said that Apple's conference often squeezes toothpaste, in fact, I feel that Apple's squeezed toothpaste is a squeeze and a tube, unlike the Intel squeeze one, right, the two are still quite different.
David, after you watched this conference, are there any products you want to buy?
It's the new desktop Studio computer, and that's definitely on my list, because I think it's a very good productivity tool, because I usually like to cut films myself. Then I looked at the design of the entire desktop computer, whether it was the chip we just talked about, or the motherboard, or including its heat dissipation, it was amazing, a bit like when I saw the Mac Pro of the trash can 7 years ago, it was the same surprise.
I think it's a very good name, Mac Studio, because now you really have a machine that is so powerful, it's your whole studio, your studio doesn't need anything else, I think it's a great name.
And I read the MKBHD review, he also thinks that Mac Studio is very powerful, and he thinks that Apple will make big moves later. He asked a question at the time, whether this Mac Studio is a Mac mini Pro or a Mac Pro mini, and his final conclusion is actually the Mac mini Pro, which is an upgraded version of the Mac mini, and then Apple will have a big move.
And there's another interesting detail, which is that he himself didn't hatch a new channel called Studio, Studio, he had a dog called Mac, so he said we actually have this Mac studio, Apple is out now.
Pay attention to the big and small horses to talk about technology, use the poisonous and spicy perspective, and talk about science and technology hotspots. We'll see you in the next episode.
