How did the ancients ensure the safety of swimming when there was no lifebuoy?

Today, when you go swimming, you always wear an inflatable plastic swimming ring to prevent sinking. So was there such a thing in ancient times?

There are also some. Although there was no plastic in ancient times, there were many natural things. For example, the gourd (also written as "Hulu") is empty inside. When the ancients crossed the river, they tied several big gourds around their waists. There is an idiom called "a lost boat is a pot of gold", which means that if you fall into the water in the middle of the river, who can throw you a big gourd, which is more valuable than 1200 gold. This is the same as throwing a lifebuoy today. So this gourd is called "waist boat". Is a boat tied around the waist.

There is also something called a floating valve. This is to tie a few empty jars to a wooden frame, so that people can float across the water when sitting on the wooden frame.

Large floating valves used in war are like this:

The lifebuoy appeared in the Song Dynasty, when it was called a floating ring. In the Song Dynasty, there was a general named Wang Quan who took many soldiers across the river. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, he did not use a boat, but each soldier sent a floating ring. This kind of floating ring is made of light wood into a circle, put on the body, tied around the neck with a rope, and held down with two hands. This is the earliest life buoy.

However, whether it is a floating valve or a floating ring, it is too big to carry around. If you often cross the river, soldiers like to carry a kind of floating bag. This kind of floating bag is sewn with sheepskin into a big bag, and the leaking place is glued. Usually you can roll it up and carry it on your back. When you use it, you can blow it up and tie it on your body, so you can cross the river. This is the earliest inflatable life buoy!

Pucao is very light and can also be used to cross the river;

Flying wings used in war, weapons can be placed on them to easily cross the water;

In addition to gourd, pig or cow bladder, it can also be used as a lifebuoy when it is blown and tied. This method has actually been learned by charlatans.

The charlatan has a skill. When he walks to the river, he suddenly sits on the water and crosses the river lightly. People were shocked and thought he was a fairy. He cheated a lot of money. Later, someone exposed him. It turned out that he tied several inflatable pig urine bubbles under his ass and put on a robe outside, and no one could see it.

"442" magazine named the top ten strikers in today’s football, and Mbappé can only be ranked second!

"442" magazine named the top ten strikers in today’s football, and Mbappé can only be ranked second!

Tenth, Vlahovic, as the outstanding player after 2000, Vlahovic, who scored 33 league goals in 2021, became a football star shining in Europe in Florence with super ability, and then joined Juventus with a transfer fee of 81.6 million euros in January 2022, which also attracted much attention as the champion of winter. Although his performance in the Old Lady is not very stable, he has made 41 appearances for the team and scored 14 goals this season. He is still the top scorer in the team. Vlahovic, known as the new Ibrahimovic in football, is only 23 years old this year. I believe he still has a lot of potential to tap.

Ninth place, Isaac, was voluntarily given up by Dortmund. Some people say that he is worthy of the name. However, Isaac became the champion of Newcastle’s team history after being tempered in La Liga. Unconsciously, this season’s Premier League has scored 10 goals because of injuries, which has contributed to Newcastle’s entry into the top three of the league. As a Swedish demon star who has risen in recent years, his physical fitness and footwork skills are excellent. In the game against Everton, he has scored several assists in a row, and it can be said that he has already played his worth of 70 million euros.

Eighth, Jesus, he is Mr. Golden Ball of Brazil, known as Little Jesus. He has a good sense of speed and teamwork, and can preach and shoot well. Last season, I had to move to Arsenal because of the arrival of Harland, but Jesus, who came to the Gunners, still performed brilliantly, successfully activated the team’s attack and provided a strong guarantee for the rise of Arsenal this season. I believe that as long as Jesus stays healthy, he will definitely make a difference at Arsenal.

Seventh, lautaro, although lautaro’s performance in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will always be criticized and teased by fans, it has to be admitted that lautaro is a prolific striker. While helping Inter Milan successfully reach the Champions League final this season, lautaro scored 25 goals for the first time in his career for two consecutive seasons. He is also the fifth player in team history who can score at least 10 goals for Inter Milan after the Champions League reform.

Sixth place, Levan, he is known as the Polish goal machine, and he keeps high goal efficiency all the year round. During Bayern’s period, Lewan scored a horrible goal of 0.92 per game, and he was soft in the battle for the Bundesliga Golden Boot. He also won the European Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot. Although he is 34 years old this year, Levan is still the team’s number one offensive weapon after joining Barcelona. Now there are four rounds left in La Liga, and Levan scored 21 goals, four goals ahead of Benzema, firmly occupying the top scorer’s throne.

Fifth place, Osman, a 24-year-old Neapolitan striker, is a talented player who walked out of the slums of Lades. Now he is the number one Nigerian star. He has a height of 1.86 meters, excellent physical fitness and strong impact. Osmain made 35 appearances for Napoli League and Champions League this season, scoring 28 goals, which not only helped Napoli win the Serie A championship five rounds ahead of schedule, but also led the scorer list with 23 league goals. Now the hottest striker in European football has turned around for as much as 100 million euros.

Fourth place, Harry Kane, he is the top scorer of the England national team and the player who scored the most goals in the history of Tottenham. As the most comprehensive center in the Premier League, Kane has scored more than 25 goals in a single season for nine consecutive years. Although the overall performance of Tottenham Hotspur this season is not satisfactory, Kane’s state has always been stable, with 36 appearances for the team and 27 goals, ranking second only to Harland in the top scorer list. It’s just that the British geocentric is about to turn 30, and the club and national team have always played basketball. Whether the end of this season will usher in a turning point in his career, choosing a transfer will definitely be a major attraction in football.

Third place, Benzema, although this season’s Real Madrid failed to step over Manchester City and fell to the semi-final of the Champions League, and the league title was also taken away by bitter rival Barcelona, Benzema’s performance remained stable, and his age at 35 did not decline at all. So far this season, he has played 38 games for Real Madrid, scored 28 goals and sent six assists, and his offensive efficiency is still amazing. He proved that he is still the frontcourt organizer and terminator that Real Madrid can rely on.

Second, Mbappé, as a talented player who is also known as the new double pride in football with Harland, Mbappé has been one of the most interesting stars in football since his debut. Whether in the club or in the national team, his offensive ability is the most important part of the team. This season, he played 40 times for various competitions in Greater Paris, scored 38 goals, and made eight assists, which earned him a turning price of 180 million euros. I believe that Mbappé, who is only 24 years old this year, will completely welcome his era.

The first one, Harland, wants to ask who is the hottest striker in football now. There is no doubt that it is Mobu. In the first season when Harland moved from Dortmund to Manchester City, he successfully broke the single-season scoring record in the Premier League, making 49 appearances for the team in various competitions and scoring 52 goals. The Blue Moon is also blessed by the center killer, and the results of the league and the Champions League have been strongly guaranteed. He is also the most promising storm in today’s football and can launch an impact on various goal records.

85 million pounds! It remains to be seen whether Manchester City’s summer signings aim at Croatia’s midfield reinforcement.

As a central defender, Gvardiol has a height of 1.85 meters and strong physical confrontation ability, but also has a good footwork and a precise ball. These characteristics make him very compatible with Guardiola’s passing and control tactical system. His contract with Leipzig was signed in the summer of 2027, and his value in the German-German market reached 75 million euros.

However, according to the German "Pictorial", Leipzig is facing the pressure of UEFA’s financial fairness policy and needs to deal with it by selling players this summer. In addition, Bild also said that once two Croatian players, Gvardiol and olmo, in the RB Leipzig array are transferred, their old club Dynamo Zagreb will get a share, including 15% for Gvardiol and 20% for olmo. According to their present value, Dinamo Zagreb will earn more than 10 million euros once they both leave.

Manchester City has five central defenders, including Rubendias, Aker, Akanji, stones and Laporte. However, stones has been arranged by Guardiola to play in the back, and Rappolt has been completely replaced, so he is likely to seek to leave this summer. If he leaves, Manchester City will not be rich in the position of central defender, not to mention that Aker and Akanji will make guest appearances at left and right defenders as the case may be. Therefore, signing Gvardiol is both a reinforcement and an upgrade for Manchester City’s defence.

Summary of the latest transfer rumors in football: Paris is fully committed to retaining Messi Benzema’s contract renewal.

Create another ChatGPT? The founder of OpenAI said to open the interface and create killer applications.

OpenAI also wants to build another "killer" application similar to ChatGPT.

On March 9th, local time, Reuters reported that Sam Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, said at the Morgan Stanley conference that the company would focus on building a platform, opening API interfaces to developers and creating "killer apps" like ChatGPT.

At present, the popularity of ChatGPT is high. Internet analyst Similarweb said that since its launch in November last year, the popularity of ChatGPT has soared, and the number of visits to the website has increased from 616 million in January this year to over 1 billion now.

With the rising popularity, the company not only launched the paid service ChatGPT Plus to individual users, but also began to seek cooperation with enterprises. Altman said that OpenAI is working with corporate customers to train models in specific areas in order to effectively reduce the number of errors in AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems.

He mentioned that companies working with OpenAI can use the company’s data and make copies of models to reduce data security problems. For example, he said that Bain & Company, a management consulting company, cooperated with OpenAI to provide personalized advertising copy and images for companies such as Coca-Cola by using its ChatGPT and DALL-E platforms.

In addition, Altman added that individual users should have more control over the way AI (Artificial Intelligence) works. The company said last month that it was upgrading the chat bot to allow users to customize it to solve the error of artificial intelligence. He said, "We will soon introduce more things to give users more control over the system so that it can act in different ways."

Altman also admitted that the accuracy of the current AI system cannot reach 100%, but he predicted that applications such as AI doctors and AI lawyers would soon appear on mobile phones.

In fact, OpenAI announced on March 1st that it had introduced API and allowed any enterprise to build ChatGPT technology in their own applications, websites, products and services. Snap, Quizlet, Instacart and Shopify were early adopters of ChatGPT API.

According to public information, API is an application programming interface, which can realize the communication between computer software. Through API interface, developers can develop applications without accessing source code or understanding the details of internal working mechanism. Amazon’s official website gives an example-the software system of the Meteorological Bureau includes daily weather data, and the weather application on the user’s mobile phone "talks" with the system through the API, and displays the latest weather information every day on the mobile phone.

Previously, Greg Brockman, president and chairman of OpenAI, said that ChatGPT API is supported by GPT-3.5-turbo, a natural language model, in which "turbo" represents an optimized version of GPT-3.5, with faster response speed. This model adopts homologous technology with the popular ChatGPT, which is based on the enhanced version of GPT-3.

TechCrunch, an American technology media, said that the initial motivation of OpenAI to develop GPT-3.5-turbo may be to reduce the computing cost of ChatGPT. Altman once said on Twitter that the cost of ChatGPT’s dialogue with users is "amazing", and each conversation needs to cost a few cents or more.

It is worth noting that a new generation of natural language processing model GPT-4 will be launched next week. On March 9, local time, Andreas Braun, chief technology officer of Microsoft Germany, mentioned in an AI (Artificial Intelligence) activity, "We will launch GPT-4 next week, which will be a multimodal models that can provide completely different possibilities, such as supporting video."

In addition, on March 16th, Microsoft will hold an online activity of "Artificial Intelligence Leading Future Work" to showcase Microsoft’s latest AI technology and discuss the application and development of artificial intelligence in work scenarios.
