Judge rejects gag order request by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

法官驳回“吹牛老爹”的禁言令请求

A federal judge rejected Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attempt to silence all potential witnesses in his criminal sex trafficking case on Friday, saying his concerns do not outweigh an alleged victim’s right to free speech.

周五（11.8），一名联邦法官驳回了“吹牛老爹”肖恩·库姆斯试图让其性交易刑事案件中的所有潜在证人保持沉默的企图，称他的担忧并没有所谓受害者的言论自由权重要。

Combs’ team moved for a gag order to stop potential witnesses and their attorneys from speaking publicly after more than a dozen civil lawsuits were filed alleging sexual assault and following media interviews one witness gave after he appeared before the grand jury.

库姆斯的律师团队申请了禁言令，以阻止潜在证人及其律师在公开场合发言。在此之前，十多起指控性侵的民事诉讼被提交至法院，一名证人还在大陪审团面前作证并接受媒体采访。

Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has said the allegations in the civil lawsuits, including abuse of minors, are “absolutely false.”

库姆斯对这些指控表示不认罪，并表示，民事诉讼中的指控，包括虐待未成年人，“完全没有根据”。

Visitors would be limited to Combs’ lawyers and family members under the latest proposal. In his prior bail proposal, Combs did not seek to exclude employees, friends or others from visiting.

根据最新提议，访客仅限于库姆斯的律师和家庭成员。在他之前的保释提案中，库姆斯并没有试图阻止员工、朋友或其他人的探视。

Runway’s Act-One uses smartphone cameras to replicate facial expression motion capture

Runway推出Act-One工具，利用智能手机摄像头就能复制捕捉面部表情

Runway AI Inc., the generative artificial intelligence startup that builds tools for AI-generated video creation, has launched a new feature to help creators give their AI video characters more realistic facial expressions.

作为一家为人工智能生成视频构建工具的生成式人工智能初创公司，Runway AI Inc.推出了一项新功能，帮助创作者为其AI生成的视频角色赋予更逼真的面部表情。

Called Act-One, it makes it possible for existing users to record themselves on something as simple as a smartphone camera, capture their facial expressions, and then replicate them on an AI-generated video character.

这项功能名为Act-One，有了它，现有用户可以通过简易的智能手机摄像头为自己拍摄，捕捉自己的面部表情，然后将这些面部表情复制到AI生成的视频角色上。

The tool is being rolled out to users starting today, and can be accessed by anyone with a Runway account. That said, it’s not entirely free-to-use, as users will be required to have enough credits on their account to access the startup’s most advanced Gen-3 Alpha video generation model.

该工具从10月22日开始面向用户推出，拥有Runway账号的人都可以获取。不过，该工具并非完全免费，账号中有足够的积分的用户才能访问该初创公司最先进的Gen-3 Alpha视频生成模型。

In the filmmaking industry, facial animation is an intricate and expensive task that involves using sophisticated motion capture technologies, manual face rigging techniques and lots of heavy editing behind-the-scenes. Using the tool, creators will be able to animate their video characters in almost any way they can imagine, without needing to use pricey motion capture equipment.

在电影制作行业中，面部动画是一项复杂且昂贵的任务，涉及使用先进的动作捕捉技术、手动面部绑定技术和大量的幕后剪辑。使用Act-One，创作者能够以几乎任何他们能想到的方式为自己的视频角色制作动画，而无需使用昂贵的动作捕捉设备。

*译注*

1. 动作捕捉技术：例如，在动捕服上放置标记点。

2. 手动面部绑定技术：动画师手动在面部模型上设置关键点和控制器，通过这些控制器逐帧调整面部表情，使其更加自然。

Act-One can be utilized by a range of creative professionals, including animators, video game developers and indie filmmakers, enabling them to generate more unique characters whose personality and actions can be reflected with their emotions and expressions. They’ll be able to create much more realistic, cinema-like video characters and capture them at any camera angle or focal length, Runway said, unlocking the potential for much richer, more detailed storytelling and artistic expression.

Act-One可供大批创意专业人士使用，包括动画师、游戏开发者和独立电影人，帮助他们生成更多独一无二的角色，这些角色的性格和行为可以通过情绪和表情得以展现。Runway表示，创意专业人士将会创造出更加逼真、更具电影感的视频角色，并可以在任意拍摄角度或镜头焦距下捕捉这些角色，从而解锁更丰富、更细腻的叙事与艺术表达的可能性。

Runway added that Act-One comes with a number of built-in safeguards that will prevent misuse, including guardrails that will prevent efforts to generate content featuring public figures without their express authorization. It’s also integrated with tools to verify voice usage rights, the company said. In addition, Runway will perform continuous monitoring of the tool to ensure it is used in a responsible way by creators.

Runway补充说，Act-One配备了一系列防止滥用的内置保障措施，包括一项防护机制，用于防止未经公众人物授权而生成以公众人物为特色的内容。Runway还表示，Act-one还集成了验证语音使用权的工具。此外，Runway将对Act-one进行持续监控，以确保创作者可以负责地使用该工具。

Hug it out, but make it quick. New Zealand airport sets time limit on goodbyes

新西兰机场限时告别：拥抱要快

Emotional farewells are a common sight at airports, but travelers leaving the New Zealand city of Dunedin will have to be quick. A new three-minute time limit on goodbye hugs in the airport’s drop-off area is intended to prevent lingering cuddles from causing traffic jams.

动情的告别在机场很常见，但对于即将离开新西兰达尼丁市的旅客，拥抱这件事必须要快。在达尼丁机场的下车区，离别拥抱的最新时限为三分钟，这一新规旨在避免难舍难分的拥抱导致交通拥堵。

“Max hug time three minutes,” warn signs outside the terminal, adding that those seeking “fonder farewells” should move their lingering embraces to the parking lot, where they can cuddle free of charge for up to 15 minutes.

航站楼外的告示牌上写有“拥抱时间最长三分钟”的提醒。对于那些希望“深情告别”的人，可以移步机场停车场免费拥抱最多15分钟。

The signs had polarized social media users, CEO De Bono said.

达尼丁机场首席执行官德博诺称，该告示牌提醒在社交媒体引起广泛争议。

“We were accused of breaching basic human rights and how dare we limit how long someone can have a hug for,” he said, adding that others had welcomed the change.

“我们被指控违反基本人权，有人质疑我们凭什么限制拥抱的时长，”他补充说，但也有人表示欢迎这一改变。

A 20-second hug is long enough to release the wellbeing-boosting hormones oxytocin and serotonin, De Bono said. Anything longer was “really awkward.”

德博诺指出，20秒的拥抱足以释放提升幸福感的激素，包括催产素和血清素，超过这个时间就显得“十分尴尬”。

Elon Musk's 'one weird trick' to get investors excited about Tesla's Optimus bots

埃隆·马斯克的“噱头”宣传奏效，投资者对特斯拉Optimus机器人充满期待

Tesla on Thursday tried to show off its Optimus project again after an event featuring them last week “tricked” some analysts who were unaware the humanoid robots were being assisted remotely.

本周四（10.17），特斯拉公司试图再次展示Optimus项目。此前，上周举行的“WE，ROBOT”发布会“误导”了一些分析人士。人形机器人当时是被远程操控的，分析人士对此并不知情。

Milan Kovac, who oversees Tesla’s Optimus program, admitted on Wednesday that the robots “of course were human assisted to some extent,” but said that was done to help Tesla show its “vision of an amazing future.” About 20 robots were active at all times, with one incident of a robot falling. Kovac on Thursday said Optimus has started learning how to interact with humans.

特斯拉Optimus项目负责人米兰·科瓦奇在本周三承认，这些机器人“在某种程度上当然是由人工辅助的”，但这样做是为了助力特斯拉展示其“美好未来的愿景”。据科瓦奇称，大约有20台机器人一直在活跃运行，期间发生了一起机器人跌倒的事件。科瓦奇周四表示，Optimus已经开始学习如何与人类互动。

Tesla wants its Optimus robots to — eventually — be capable of doing anything from grocery shopping to babysitting. It’s still a ways away from that goal.

特斯拉希望Optimus机器人最终能够做任何事情，包括采购百货和看护孩童。目前距离这个目标还有一段路要走。

For the first time, this demonstration mission included an ambitious attempt to maneuver the 232-foot-tall (71-meter) rocket booster to a gargantuan landing structure after it burned through most of its fuel and broke away from the upper Starship spacecraft. The Super Heavy was successfully caught midair with a pair of massive metal pincers, which SpaceX calls “chopsticks.”

此次演示任务包括一项首次进行的雄心勃勃的尝试，即在高达232英尺（71米）的助推器燃烧掉大部分燃料并与上方的星舰飞船分离后，将其操控到一个巨大的着陆结构上。超重型火箭助推器在空中被一对巨大的金属夹具成功捕获，SpaceX将这些夹具称为“筷子”。

Machine learning pioneers win Nobel prize in physics

两位机器学习先驱获诺贝尔物理学奖

Geoffrey Hinton, ‘godfather of AI’, and John Hopfield honoured for work on artificial neural networks

“人工智能教父”杰弗里·辛顿和约翰·霍普菲尔德因在人工神经网络领域的贡献而获此殊荣

Inspired by the workings of the brain, John Hopfield, a US professor emeritus at Princeton University, and Geoffrey Hinton, a British-Canadian professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, built artificial neural networks that store and retrieve memories like the human brain, and learn from information fed into them.

受大脑运作机制的启发，美国普林斯顿大学名誉教授约翰·霍普菲尔德和多伦多大学英裔加拿大名誉教授杰弗里·辛顿构建了人工神经网络，这些网络像人脑一样存储和检索记忆，并基于输入的信息进行学习。

Hinton, 76, who is often called “the godfather of AI”, made headlines last year when he quit Google and warned about the dangers of machines outsmarting humans.

今年76岁的辛顿常被称为“人工智能教父”，他在去年因离开谷歌并警告当心机器胜过人类的危险而登上头条。

The scientists’ pioneering work began in the 1980s and demonstrated how computer programs that draw on neural networks and statistics could form the basis for an entire field, which paved the way for swift and accurate language translation, facial recognition systems, and the generative AI that underpins chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.

两位科学家的开创性工作始于20世纪80年代，展示了利用神经网络和统计学的计算机程序如何构成整个领域的基础，为快速准确的语言翻译、面部识别系统以及支撑ChatGPT、Gemini和Claude等聊天机器人的生成式人工智能铺平了道路。

Announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, the winners share the 11m Swedish kronor (about £810,000) prize for “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”.

位于斯德哥尔摩的瑞典皇家科学院宣布，两位诺贝尔物理学奖得主将共享1100万瑞典克朗（约合81万英镑）的奖金，以表彰他们“利用人工神经网络实现机器学习的基础发现和发明”。

Hinton quit Google in order to speak freely about his concerns over the possible harms AI could inflict, from spreading misinformation and upending the jobs market to threatening human existence.

辛顿退出谷歌是为了自由地谈论他对人工智能可能造成的伤害的担忧，从误传信息、颠覆就业市场到威胁人类生存。

SpaceX launches rescue mission for 2 NASA astronauts who are stuck in space until next year

SpaceX启动救援任务，营救被困空间站的两名美国宇航员并于明年返回

CAPE CANAVERAL,Fla. (AP) —SpaceX launched a rescue mission for the two stuck astronauts at the International Space Station on Saturday, sending up a downsized crew to bring them home but not until next year.

据美联社来自佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角的报道，SpaceX为滞留在国际空间站的两名宇航员启动了救援任务，派遣一支小规模的机组人员将他们接回家，但要等到明年。

The capsule rocketed into orbit to fetch the test pilots whose Boeing spacecraft returned to Earth empty earlier this month because of safety concerns. The switch in rides left it to NASA’s Nick Hague and Russia’s Alexander Gorbunov to retrieve Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.

该太空舱发射进入轨道，以接回两名测试飞行员。由于存在安全问题，他们此前乘坐的波音公司的星际飞船Starliner在9月早些时候空无一人地返回了地球。更换交通工具后，美国国家航空航天局的Nick Hague和俄罗斯的Alexander Gorbunov被指派去接回Butch Wilmore和Suni Williams。

Because NASA rotates space station crews approximately every six months, this newly launched flight with two empty seats reserved for Wilmore and Williams won’t return until late February. Officials said there wasn’t a way to bring them back earlier on SpaceX without interrupting other scheduled missions.

由于NASA大约半年轮换一次空间站乘组人员，这次新发射的飞船为Wilmore和Williams预留了两个空座位，但他们要到明年2月底才会返回。官员表示，在SpaceX不中断其他预定任务的情况下，无法将他们提前接回。

By the time they return, the pair will have logged more than eight months in space. They expected to be gone just a week when they signed up for Boeing’s first astronaut flight that launched in June.

当他们返回地球时，这对搭档将在太空中度过八个多月的时间。当他们报名参加6月份发射的波音首次载人飞行时，他们预计只会出差一周。

NASA ultimately decided that Boeing’s Starliner was too risky after a cascade of thruster troubles and helium leaks marred its trip to the orbiting complex. The space agency cut two astronauts from this SpaceX launch to make room on the Dragon capsule’s return leg for Wilmore and Williams.

NASA最终决定，由于一系列推进器故障和氦气泄漏问题影响了前往国际空间站的旅程，波音Starliner风险太大。航天局从这次SpaceX的发射中缩减了两名宇航员，为Wilmore和Williams搭乘龙飞船的返程腾出空间。
