From a chalk-and-cheese duo obsessed with custard creams to in-laws who didn’t get on until a family death – brace yourself for another journey of big feelings There is ice. A bear lopes across a vast white tundra, weaving footprints in the snow. Closeup of a snow leopard. Crisp crunch of boots in thick snow. Heavy breathing … Running … Screaming … Is it the latest Paul Greengrass thriller? No. The words “51 Days Earlier” appear. Volare starts playing. And now we’re in sunny Palermo, Sicily: the southern Italian city conquered more than any other in Europe. Where else could we be but at the starting line of Race Across the World? You know when a BBC series has gone stratospheric because the opening gets suitably hysterical and starts to think it’s a Bourne spin-off. And so it comes to pass with the sixth series of the BBC flagship show, now such a powerful harbinger of spring on these small isles that it has replaced daffodils. The premise, for the stubborn percent who haven’t succumbed, is simple and brilliant; a formula that, like the cometh of spring, will never get old. Continue reading...

SoFi Technologies公司推出了“大企业银行业务”（Big Business Banking）。这一新平台旨在让企业客户在单一受监管的银行基础设施内同时管理法币和加密货币业务。该产品允许公司使用传统货币或稳定币全天候持有存款、转账和结算交易，标志着SoFi向机构金融服务领域迈出更深入的一步。 该平台将SoFi的国家银行牌照和美联储接入权限与API驱动能力相结合，包括实时支付以及通过其SoFiUSD稳定币支持数字资产发行。首批参与者包括Cumberland、BitGo、Galaxy和 万事达卡 等公司，表明该平台在加密原生机构和传统金融机构中都获得了初步认可。该系统预计将利用Solana及其他区块链网络。 此举也凸显了SoFi如何寻求与传统银行形成差异化。“传统银行通常仍然按照周一至周五、朝九晚五的模式运营，”首席执行官安东尼·诺托表示，“SoFi大企业银行业务正在改变这一现状——它将国家特许银行的实力和监管基础与企业实时转移和管理资金或数字资产所需的速度、规模和灵活性结合在一起。” 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

OpenAI might be pulling back on video generation, but Google is forging ahead with a major AI update to its Vids editing product. The company's latest video and audio models are now integrated with the tool, and you can choose from various controllable avatars to appear in generated videos. Your creations are also easier to share on YouTube now. Veo 3.1 is the biggest part of the Vids upgrade. Google first deployed this updated model in Gemini late last year , promising a substantial improvement in realism and consistency. While Google has pitched Veo as a tool for filmmakers, that's not how it positions Vids. Google suggests using the AI tools in Vids to create animated party flyers, business sizzle reels, or a video greeting card. You can use Vids for free, but you won't be able to generate very many videos without an AI subscription. Google Vids: Generate Videos with Veo 3.1. If you're not paying for any AI access on your account, you only get 10 video generations per month. AI Pro subscribers can get 50 videos, and those paying for Google's spendy AI Ultra plan (either personal or enterprise) get 1,000 videos per month. Like most other Veo implementations, the videos are eight seconds long and 720p resolution. Read full article Comments
