XIAOMI SU7: AUTONOMOUS TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

The Xiaomi SU7 stands out not only for its design and power but also for its advanced autonomous capabilities. With systems like Xiaomi Pilot Pro and Pilot Max, this car can handle complex maneuvers, such as lane changes, adapting to curves, and avoiding obstacles. But the most impressive feature is its autonomous parking function: it navigates through underground parking lots, finds an empty spot, and parks with precision, like having a valet in your pocket.

The "Xiaomi Pilot" system comes in two versions. Xiaomi Pilot Pro, available on the base model of the SU7, uses an NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chip with 84 TOPS* of power, along with 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, and a front millimeter-wave radar. This technology enables features like automatic lane changing, speed control, and congestion prevention.

For the more advanced versions, Xiaomi Pilot Max takes things to the next level. This system adds a LiDAR sensor, two rear millimeter-wave radars, and a pair of NVIDIA DRIVE Orin processors, delivering a total of 508 TOPS* of processing power. It enables complex maneuvers, such as multi-level obstacle avoidance and autonomous parking in urban settings.

Here’s a video where you can see it navigate a parking lot and park itself, taking smart parking to a whole new level.

*TOPS stands for Tera Operations Per Second, which means "trillions of operations per second." It’s a measure of a chip or system’s processing power, especially relevant for AI and machine learning tasks. In the case of the Xiaomi SU7, it refers to the ability of the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin processors to handle massive amounts of data and perform complex operations swiftly, essential for autonomous driving and real-time decision-making.


With current technological progress, it’s possible that in a few decades, when most cars have this kind of tech, shopping mall parking lots will sync with autonomous vehicles, providing real-time information on available spaces. Your car will drop you off at the entrance, park itself, and when you’re ready to go home, you’ll call it, and it’ll pick you up at the designated spot to drive you back.



Remember the series Knight Rider, when Michael Knight would say to KITT, "KITT, come pick me up"?

HOW DID I END UP HERE

Sometimes life puts us in situations that make us question our choices. We’ve all been there. Moments when doubt creeps in, and you wonder if you took the wrong path, if you missed an opportunity that could have led you somewhere else, to another scenario.

It’s easy to get caught up in that sense of frustration, that constant comparison that makes you think maybe you chose the wrong job, the wrong profession, or the wrong direction. We imagine how life could have been "on the other side," thinking things might be different if we had made other decisions.

I don’t think that’s how it’s done.

THE FUTURE THAT AWAITS US

The glasses of the future will have the ability to transform your home's atmosphere using augmented reality, creating visual layers over your existing space. Imagine your living room turning into a lush jungle or a classic 1950s diner, all while maintaining the original layout of the room. It's like giving your space a "new outfit" for a fully immersive AR experience.

This isn’t possible yet. You still can't change what you see in real-time with the Apple Vision Pro to any "skin" you desire, but with devices like these, soon you'll feel like you're living in the house of your dreams.

Yes, you’ll also be able to change the "skin" of your partner to whoever you want, experiencing being with someone different every day.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT IN THE NY SUBWAY

Over the past few days, the United States has been busy celebrating Halloween, the biggest costume event in the country, celebrated coast to coast—including, of course, New York City. In a metropolis like this, getting around during these festivities can be tricky: taxis and Ubers are in high demand and, with traffic, they’re far from being the fastest or most efficient way to travel. So, even during Halloween rush hour, the good old reliable subway remains one of the best ways to get to the parties.

GETTING READY FOR HALLOWEEN

The fear of clowns, or coulrophobia, has its roots in a mix of psychological, cultural, and social factors. On one hand, the exaggerated appearance of clowns, with their bright makeup and forced expressions, creates distrust because it makes it hard to interpret their true emotions. This can trigger a sense of threat due to a fear of the unknown. Additionally, the phenomenon known as the "uncanny valley" leads to discomfort with figures that look almost human but have a distorted or artificial touch, like clowns.

A clown’s chaotic and unpredictable behavior adds another layer of unease, as it breaks social norms and creates uncertainty. Cultural influences have also played a major role in shaping the negative perception of clowns, with characters in books and movies depicting them as terrifying figures, further solidifying their sinister image. Real-life cases, like the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, have added to this fear by associating clowns with danger.

In summary, the fear of clowns stems from a distrust of what hides behind a mask and cultural influences that make these characters a source of anxiety for many people.

I FEEL WATCHED

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? That strange sensation crawling up your spine, as if invisible eyes were fixed on you. You don’t see anything, but the atmosphere shifts, the air gets heavier. A tingle creeps down your neck, your pulse quickens, and you can’t help but turn to check if something—or someone—is there. It’s like the silence itself is following you, and even though you can’t see it, you’re certain that something is there.
