The software helps to record the thoughts in the brain into writing on the computer. The combination of mental effort and modern technology has allowed a motionless man (T5) to communicate by text at a speed comparable to that of healthy colleagues texting. on smartphone. Study participant (T5) almost lost all mobility below the neck because of a spinal cord injury in 2007. The scientists placed two brain-computer interface chips, each about the same size. an aspirin pill, on the left side of T5’s brain. Each chip has 100 electrodes that pick up signals from trigger neurons in the motor cortex, an area on the outermost surface of the brain that governs hand movements. Those neural signals are sent over wires to a computer, where artificial intelligence algorithms decode the signal and infer the T5’s intended hand and finger movements. Algorithms were designed in Stanford’s Neural Prosthetic Translation Lab. T5 generated text at a rate of about 18 words per minute (the average person can say about 23 words per minute on a smartphone). Even, T5 then reached a record of 40 characters per minute. The study was published online May 12, 2021 in the journal Nature. It offers hope to hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions around the globe, who have lost the ability to use their upper limbs or speak due to spinal cord injury, stroke or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

“Job selection” is probably the most correct way of saying for literary circles. Nghiem Huyen Vu graduated from the University of General Physics in the Soviet Union (formerly) in 1973, but a future physicist has taken a turn, choosing to step on the path of poetry. That same year he entered the military life, served nine years, then moved on to publishing, journalism and journalism management – publishing until his retirement. He has printed more than 10 books, including six volumes of poetry, the rest are translated poetry, essays, dissertations, short stories … His poetry has meticulously refined observations, and words have been refined. Many seemingly normal details were blown into his poetic soul, becoming sparkling. He saw the “lotus heel” from “distant memory” in the woman carrying the water; realizing the “first little separation” when taking the child into grade 1 and seeing the girl’s “wind full of humble clothes” in the early spring …, then generalizing it into a concept, philosophy live by yourself. Reading him, we are persuaded by emotional poetic soul, loving people, “on the side of tears”. Nghiem Huyen Vu is a member of the Association of Vietnamese Writers, a native of Duc Tho (Ha Tinh), and currently lives and writes in Hanoi. Huu Viet poet chooses and introduces Autumn hair Thu seemed to have about his dry and thirsty heart early breeze West Lake dew willow invite green remote There was a time when I had long hair wind farming Grazing dreams on each microfiber I go through a brilliant autumn My hair is fading my dreams are yellow And the autumn comes back the same wind I heard my heart melt in the morning hair fall … The woman goes to get the water The woman goes to get the water shoulder blade deflection Chest is heavy shake with the footsteps the woman thinks about the fire hot water red charcoal dinner lamp rough man’s face austere Bare feet through fire through the mud lotus heel distant memory Feet go a thousand times still don’t stop searching the nearest road The woman goes to get the water Loosen the water more pain and love – the river is still flowing The woman goes to get the water all my life Can’t think in time shoulder deflection and speckled feet.

[Text/Observer Net Ju Feng] On April 16, local time, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will meet with US President Biden at the White House. Yoshihide Suga has set off yesterday. This meeting is of special significance to the leaders of the two countries-Yoshihide Suga will become the first foreign leader to meet Biden (offline), and it is also the first visit to the United States by Yoshihide Suga as the prime minister of Japan. On April 15, local time, Yoshihide Suga took a government plane to Washington, D.C. (Source: Surging Image) However, Observer.com noticed that the media that announced the matter coincidentally believed that the focus of the two people’s meeting was not in the United States or Japan. China would be the core issue. In addition, the issue of “Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge” is also only Don’t talk about words. The Bloomberg News Agency of the United States bluntly said, “The meeting between Biden and Yoshihide Suga was all about China” (it’s all about China). Agence France-Presse analyzed on the 15th that the China issue was an overwhelming issue in the meeting between the leaders of the United States and Japan. Yoshihide Suga hopes to further strengthen the bilateral relationship that has been solid since the Trump era, coordinate the positions of the two sides, and more effectively deal with the “increasingly aggressive international” China. In Japanese media, the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) said on the 15th that the leaders of the two countries are expected to “freely exchange” opinions on the so-called “China’s growing hegemony” and discuss how to deal with China in terms of national security. Because after this visit, the two countries will issue a joint statement. NHK predicts that the statement will mention the Taiwan region of China and the so-called “human rights issues in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.”

NHK reported that Yoshihide Suga will also seek U.S. cooperation in successfully hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Dongao has entered the 100-day countdown.

All in all, at the White House summit on the 16th, Yoshihide Suga left with the goal of strengthening the Japan-US alliance and establishing mutual trust between leaders.

The US media, which talks about China on weekdays, also predict that China will be the core agenda.

The US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) stated that “China’s growing influence will be the focus of discussion at the summit.” This meeting is the first face-to-face summit held with a foreign leader since Biden took office as US President. This shows Japan’s position in the hearts of the Biden administration.

CNBC quoted an analyst from Control Risks, a consulting firm, as saying that rebuilding the US-Japan alliance and competing with China are the core of Biden’s foreign policy. The meeting between Biden and Yoshihide Suga showed that Japan is the key to this policy.

CNBC quoted a report from the Nikkei on April 6 that the leaders of the two countries will also discuss infrastructure projects such as 5G networks and clean energy-the United States and Japan may use such cooperation to counterbalance China’s “Belt and Road” initiative. .

The “New York Times” stated that Biden will restore the ally that Trump has messed up through the meeting with Suga Yoshihide, and hopes to unite Japan to fight China more effectively.

The New York Times believes that Japan should also clearly express its attitude toward China to the United States, such as its position on Taiwan, rather than unilaterally seeking security protection from the United States.

It must be mentioned that the British media “Financial Times” reported on the 14th that the Biden administration is constantly pressing Suga Yoshihide to publicly mention Taiwan in the joint statement, but Japan is still hesitant about this.

Before the 2+2 meeting, Japan was relatively cautious on the Taiwan issue. However, after the joint statement of the 2+2 meeting was released, Japan’s attitude on the Taiwan issue was severely criticized by China. On March 17, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian criticized the US-Japan joint statement for seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs and vainly attempting to harm China’s interests.

According to the New York Times, whether Japan will embark on the path of “against China”, Yoshihide Suga’s trip to the United States may provide some clues.

China and the United States are Japan’s first and second largest partner countries respectively. As Japan leans toward the United States in its stance, the United States has also supported Japan’s erroneous policies “regardless of black and white.”

After the Japanese government declared that it would discharge the Fukushima nuclear waste water containing radionuclides into the Pacific in spite of its opposition, US Secretary of State Brinken immediately expressed his gratitude for “Japan’s transparency.”

Suga Yoshihide said before departure on the 15th that he hopes to establish a relationship of trust with Biden through the talks and further consolidate the Japan-US alliance. He also said that he will demonstrate Japan-US “leadership” to the world toward the realization of a “free and open India-Pacific”.

NHK reported yesterday that due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Yoshihide Suga’s delegation has reduced its size. About 80 people accompanied the Prime Minister on the visit, which is a reduction of 20% to 30% from normal times; Yoshihide Suga’s wife will stay in Japan.

Finally, by the way, the White House said on the 15th that Biden will meet with the visiting South Korean President Moon Jae-in in late May. Moon Jae-in will become the second foreign leader to visit the United States after Yoshihide Suga. This move was interpreted by foreign media as South Korea’s pursuit of “isometric diplomacy” (with Japan).

But the son did not just for that matter but only got heatstroke out there. He realized the sun had changed color, in spite of the dark dome year after year. In his mind one after another appeared images of pink silk strings, honey of wet waves, thin glass, the hair of a worm on the leaves, the edge of a stream of woman’s hair as she bent down to kiss.

“Now is September, probably”, he dreamed, “you know from the calendar”. The old man was furious, what about September, whatever color change in the sunlight it was, it was still the sun killing it, and he was almost burned down by it.

“Beautiful is poisonous, that sunlight is like your cheeks,” said the old man. Perhaps he wanted to mention the woman who left him behind. It was also a long time ago, when the son was only nine years old, the old man had also married several more wives, but still regretted his hatred not ceasing. A person’s first love, he said, determines his / her life. Although the son felt that he lost his campaign for mayor, or the loss of his investment in the artificial rain factory, the loss of wealth after a few divorces, it had nothing to do with his first love. But the old man still dragged the mother he could no longer remember, to blame for every risk he had in his life. The past is like the tail getting longer and longer, and I don’t know when it swings back to avoid the damage.

“It’s all in the sun to go fishing in the lake,” said the dreamy son, ignoring his father’s burning attitude, and his father’s helplessness, as if the old man was standing in front of the dying sick child. The old man can hardly stop the memories of a man who used to bathe in the September sun, the one sun that has met once in his life is unforgettable. But the son grew deeper, because it had been seventeen September, before the sun began to melt everything it shone on, and man retreated to the earth, creating the Underworld.

In Underground there is also sunshine, and sun. All are recreated vividly, just like the real thing. Everything is delicately simulated, the sun is tilted early and tomorrow afternoon, the days of artificially cloudy sky, and widespread showers or thunderstorms. Rain and shine are preprogrammed from the beginning of the year, before submitting to the Underground committee, and so that no year is like any other year. People no longer remember the real light, the real atmosphere in the world they left behind when they fled. Even plants and trees are deceived by artificial light, they branch, flower, bear fruit. Sunflowers regardless of the sun, still welcoming flowers. Only rosemary, probably overly sensitive to the environment, was doomed.

But they cannot reproduce the September sun. They couldn’t coat the air mirror, a thin, sweet layer. They do not know how to make the golden color of the sun that makes the leaves of the tree drink well before they do the sowing. So every September, in Underground, there will be a bunch of people who miss the old sun so much, don’t really need to do anything, climb up the dome and look back at the old sky. The children born in Underground don’t know why there is such an absurd nostalgia, they rummaged through thousands of books, searching for pages describing the autumn sun that made them crazy, but they didn’t feel it. OK. The clever word does not fully describe the intensity of the September sun, for it was not born to be described, but let people bathe, drink, numb, or hang from a tree or sink to the bottom; so that people remember the sadness.

Like that guy, lying on the dome forever, not needing anything, looking out there. Relieved of the scene where my husband / father quit his job, lethargic as he died, every September his wife and son would travel with suitcases. Staying Underground does not mean that people give up their passion for moving, nearly plane-speed trains across the oceans, they are always happy to keep their doors waiting for customers. He went upstairs with dome, lying forever Fewer and fewer people were going up there, they forgot the September sun, or had been able to endure it, went to see it. The last news about the sunburn was decades ago, he remembers that the column next to it had written about the summit meeting about patching ozone layer. I don’t know if the sun out there has cooled down yet. Someone must open the Underground door to try it out.

“That day, sitting fishing, seeing the mist evaporating on the lotus leaf,” he said to the old man. And the father was so desperate he didn’t want to say anything, as he saw the prospect of a son opening the door on Underground 86 and walking out.

Imagine someone else remembers the real sun out there, not that people are used to rain and sun and fake sun, like a bird used to cage. Someone else came out, burned down, was better than hiding in a deep pit. Who knows, when the sun has cooled, they won’t say it because everyone living in the cage looks after each other easily.
