Review iPad Air 2020 can replace iPad Pro
The latest iPad Air follows the formula that has brought success for several years for Apple. It has many attractive elements and is only a little less than the top product.
In the past, Apple had a very lean product strategy. Each year they only release 1-2 new iPhone and iPad models. And the only difference is the screen size or the amount of internal memory.
That simplicity disappeared for a few years now, as Apple diversified its product ranges. Both Apple Watch, iPhone or iPad have models released in the same year with nearly the same design, similar sizes.
iPad Air 2020, also known as iPad Air 4 has just been sold at the end of October, has the size and design almost similar to the 11-inch iPad Pro. The price of the iPad Air is about 5 million compared to the iPad Pro model. And the cause of this discrepancy is some differences that are sometimes difficult to discern.
On the back, the Air also has a smart keyboard dock. The size of this iPad is equivalent to the 11-inch iPad Pro. So can also use the same accessories, including the Magic Keyboard keyboard.
The new iPad Air’s thin, uniform bezel looks more modern and premium than the previous generation. The feeling of holding and using has slightly changed in a positive direction.
Because the square edge helps to hold the screen border a little more firmly. However, too thin bezels sometimes make me mistakenly hold the screen.
The fingerprint sensor on the side, praised by Apple bosses as an achievement in design, is sometimes a bit inconvenient. Unlock speed is fast, but you will have to click, not touch to open. Surely this experience can not be as simple and easy as FaceTime on iPad Pro.
Old iPhones without the latest software will stop working on Sunday
On Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. eastern time, some iPhones or iPads released in 2012 or earlier will stop working correctly unless they have a software update from Apple.
Some devices such as iPad 2, iPad mini, iPad 3rd, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 generation could be the affected models, according to Apple. Released in 2012, iPhone 5 could lose access to apps, email, and web browsing so the issue is particularly pronounced for it.
In particular, Apple said on its website that iPhone 5 phones that do not install the iOS 10.3.4 update might not be able to access email, download apps from the App Store, or browse the web, and will no longer be able to connect to online services which require the correct date and time.
Because on Sunday, Nov. 3 a GPS issue could cause older phones to stop working properly, Apple has released specifically for them a new version of old software.
You will need to update by plugging your phone into a computer and won’t be able to download the update in the iPhone settings menu if you miss the deadline.
some iPad Mini, iPad 2, and iPad 3rd generation models and iPhone 4s devices with a cellular chip will no longer be able to maintain an accurate GPS position without an update to iOS 9.3.6 or they.
If you have an iPhone 5, it’s especially important to continue to use functions that rely on correct date and time such as iCloud, App Store, email, and web browsing, using your computer and updating your device’s software wirelessly before November 3 to maintain accurate GPS location.
Some Apple services can update newer version of iOS which is required to sign up for so most iPhone users probably already have much on their devices newer software and even able to connect to new Apple hardware products like AirPods Pro.
Apple CEO Tim Cook is requested to ‘reverse course’ in Hong Kong
A bipartisan group of US Congress members wrote a Friday letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized the tech giant’s decision to remove an app used by protesters in Hong Kong HKmap.live from the App Store.
The letter shows that Apple’s decision last week by taking down HKMaps is deeply concerning to accommodate the Chinese government. They urge him to reverse course in the strongest terms, to stand with the brave men and women fighting for dignity and basic rights, and to demonstrate that Apple puts values above market access in Hong Kong.
According to a report from Reuters, the letter follows Cook’s Thursday meeting with China’s market regulator in Beijing and the app’s removal.
Republican Sens, along with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Marco Rubio of Florida, and Ted Cruz of Texas signed the letter. Another signals came from Democratic Reps. Tom Malinowski of New Jersey, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin.
A mapping app from the App Store crowdsourcing the location of police and protesters in Hong Kong HKmap.live was removed by Apple, saying it violated the local laws and store’s guidelines. Last Thursday HKmap tweeted that it disagreed with Apple’s claim that the app endangered Hong Kong residents and law enforcement.
The protests which were initially focused on legislation allowing people arrested in Hong Kong to be transferred to and tried in mainland China have been going on since March 2019. The demonstrations have expanded to include other grievances and demands for greater democracy although extradition bill has since been withdrawn.
In a recent memo to Apple employees, Tim Cook said that national and international debates would outlive them all, and they do not govern the facts while important. Cook met with Xiao Yaqing China’s State Administration for Market Regulation on Thursday to discuss consumer-rights protection, enhancing business development and investment in the country.
How Wimbledon and Watson use AI to edit autofocus for video (Part 3)
This collaborative approach really helps to show the role of people in training AI systems – at least so far. How far away are we to automate the data collection process? Boyden said that we could have done 70% or 80% of them in an automated way – this number is positive when coaching, but the challenge we have at Wimbledon is that the league requires 100% accuracy at all times.
In the future, a series of changes will be possible and Watson will gradually take on more responsibilities. Currently, it is only supporting people, but in the future, it may begin to make its own recommendations, which will then be confirmed by a tennis expert.
Objectives from this partnership:
Increase the fan experience on the platform by accelerating and improving the match focus production process over a 13-day period.
Expand the content by creating a solution that makes it easy to scale, providing highlights from the Wimbledon stadiums that have never been used before. Support Wimbledon’s strategic goal, reduce dependence on third parties, thereby helping Wimbledon enhance control of the output quality of the content.
Create quality outputs to hand over to international broadcast partners.
Reduce the pressure on editorial and content groups, allowing them to focus on other areas that add value to the content. Contribute to improving video performance on all Wimbledon platforms in the Championship.
In the competitive digital and sports environment, Cognitive Highlighs helped attract 69.9 million digital hits in the Championship (69.4 million in 2016) and 436 million page views (395 million in 2016)
14.4 million views of new accent videos were created without human intervention.
A total of 250 premium packages were created, an increase of 252% from the 2016 Championship.
Reduce turnaround time from a minimum of one hour to 15 minutes.
Automating the highlighting process of the match allows the content team to focus on serving the digital community, creating a total of 200 million video views on all platforms.
Outstanding scenes that are not used (due to limited rights) continue to be utilized by the team to maintain the audience’s engagement outside the Championship.
The new Cognitive Highlight approach drew the attention of the press with Wimbledon’s digital platforms, with 247 articles earning over 31 countries up 21%.
This is the first technical solution that uses existing IBM patents.
How Wimbledon and Watson use AI to edit autofocus for video (Part 2)
Applications of AI in Wimbledon
To do this, AI analyzes factors such as gestures and players’ reactions (such as punches on the air celebrating and greeting by touching two fists on each other) and listening to the sound of the crowd, like exhaling and cheering. For the highlights of Wimbledon 2019, IBM said it trained Watson to take advantage of more acoustical data, such as detecting every shot of the ball – making automatic cropping of match highlights closer around the main activities in the innings and can also help determine the series of pay backs.
Misleading AI
Of course, there are problems with deviations in the AI we face for a long time. Wimbledon has many situations that lead to fooling the automated system – the center of the stadium will have more fans (and therefore more noise), while a superstar like Roger Federer might have many fans, creating more cheering sounds than the 89-ranked players in the world. To detect the best action, regardless of these external factors, IBM trained Watson to better identify trends and patterns in acoustics – creating a fourth type of data point to reduce risk of deviation.
This result is enabled via AI OpenScale. IBM launched the AI OpenScale last year, providing a set of automated detection and mitigation tools – constantly monitoring bias-based decision-making based on AI applications. Specifically, for Wimbledon, this technology helps Watson plan to “learn” the overall crowd noise and use it as a neutral mechanism, from which other heights will be measured based on that basic measure.
Ace Index (to score the goal directly)
During the production of video accents, Watson also exploited match statistics for more context. These statistics are created by tennis players (usually players at the district level). They are people who are hired to sit next to the stage to identify subjective data points such as unforced error, other statistical information – such as handing the ball directly or double errors – and important moments in tennis matches, such as points that bring break points, set points, match points.
How Wimbledon and Watson use AI to edit autofocus for video (Part 1)
Audiences will surely remember the breathtaking tennis final between Novak Djokovik and Roger Federer at Wimbledon 2019 on July 14th. Wimbledon tennis championship is one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. Wimbledon is also the oldest tennis tournament in the world when it was first organized in 1877.
Many things have changed in the last 142 years – from players’ costumes to the quality of their accompanying items. However, behind it is a continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, which has been changing the way images are captured and edited for the public.
Wimbledon has all 18 grass fields. It is also the venue for nearly 700 matches in a two-week period, including men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and women’s matches and many more forms of competition. Six main matches, holding matches attract the most attention, there are an average of about four matches a day. Last year, for the first time, all activities in 18 stadiums were broadcasted online, using a combination of cameras with operators and robots. Therefore, developments in the yard are provided to viewers with unprecedented numbers as before. However, it also created a lot of scenes, too much to screen information in time. This is where IBM believes automation can work.
IBM has worked with Wimbledon organizers at All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) for three decades. This unit is in charge of information technology, network security and all digital assets serving customers, including applications and websites, where fans update developments.
In the past six years, IBM has applied AI Watson’s intelligence in many ways, but IBM recently increased its use of Watson in Wimbledon. Here, Watson helped capture all the best bits of data in each match and packed them in a two-minute highlight at the end of the game, updating the section that was thought to cause the most labor-intensive.
Simon Boyden, chief architect at IBM, said in a briefing: “We are doing the job in a traditional way that will cost a lot of manpower, expenses and time, from which to support in making match points as quickly as possible. ”
