A historically strong earthquake struck off Cuba’s northwest coast on Monday, according to official reports, shaking parts of Cuba, Mexico and Florida that are typically not prone to quakes. The US Geological Survey (USGS) measured the quake at a magnitude 6.1 at a shallow depth of 26km (16 miles) and its epicentre 104km west-northwest of Mantua, Cuba, about two to four hours by car from the c...

北京时间今天凌晨,库克最后一次以 CEO 的身份,站上了 WWDC 的舞台。按苹果此前的安排,他将在 9 月 1 日卸任,把这家三万亿美元公司交给硬件主管 John Ternus。 所以这场被普遍视作“谢幕之作”的发布会,本该是个交成绩单的时刻。而库克任内最大的一张欠条,正是那个被苹果吹了两年、却迟迟没兑现的 Siri。 图源:Apple 今晚,他把这张欠条还上了。只不过,让 Siri 真正变聪明...
北京时间今天凌晨,库克最后一次以 CEO 的身份,站上了 WWDC 的舞台。按苹果此前的安排,他将在 9 月 1 日卸任,把这家三万亿美元公司交给硬件主管 John Ternus。 所以这场被普遍视作“谢幕之作”的发布会,本该是个交成绩单的时刻。而库克任内最大的一张欠条,正是那个被苹果吹了两年、却迟迟没兑现的 Siri。 图源:Apple 今晚,他把这张欠条还上了。只不过,让 Siri 真正变聪明的那颗“大脑”,不是苹果自己造的,而是谷歌的。 迟到两年的 Siri AI,不是苹果自己造的 苹果给新助手起了个简单直接的名字—— Siri AI 。唤醒方式没变,还是依靠“嘿 Siri”和侧边键,但它背后已经被彻底重写:能听懂你的个人上下文,能“看见”你屏幕上正在发生什么,能跨 App 替你把事办完,还能像聊天一样多轮对话、回答得有来有回。 图源:Apple 苹果在台上演示的几个场景,比任何参数都更能更直观的说明它变了多少。 当你随手拍了张海边的照片,问 Siri “这是哪儿”,它认出是圣克鲁兹的 Natural Bridges 海滩;你接着说“我朋友 Jeff 最近搬到附近了,导航过去、顺路去他家”,即使 Jeff 的新地址你压根没存过,只是某条短信里提过一句,Siri 也能自己翻出来、并把路线规划好了。 图源:Apple 在世界杯期间你想举办一个“观赛派对”:可以让 Siri 查开幕周赛程,接着让它“给巴西对摩洛哥这场,列两国的招牌菜”,Siri AI 不但列了菜、还配了图;你还可以再补充一句“我女儿前阵子提过一道甜点,把它加进来”,它就会从信息记录里翻出女儿推荐的椰子饼干,整合进整份菜单,最后直接把带菜单的邀请发进了“观赛小组”的群聊里。 图源:Apple 在 Mac 端,这种“能调动你全部资料”的能力更像生产力工具:你可以一次性选中几份格式各不相同的报价单,选中后右键问一句“帮我对比、做成表格”,Siri 直接生成对照表;你再让它“结合我儿子提过的那个电路问题挑一个方案”,它就能在邮件和信息里翻出那条消息、给出建议,最后还能替你起草一封催货邮件,把承包商的名字和邮箱都自动填好。 图源:Apple 这些能力苹果两年前就在广告里画过饼,却一直没有落地,今晚它终于端出来了, 唯一的区别是:这些功能不是苹果自己的造的。 按苹果的说法,这一代 Apple Foundatio...
