It's two exclusive conversations in one episode! During the recent #possible2025 conference in Miami* I conducted two short insider interviews that were long on advertising industry insights. Peter Jones, VP of Revenue at Premion, explained why local advertising is booming, the importance of data-driven strategies, and how omnichannel measurement is revolutionizing campaign attribution Then, Sheila Marmon, Founder and CEO of Mirror Digital discussed the $6.8 trillion buying power of diverse audiences, digital innovation for inclusive marketing, and why brand are best served by connecting with multicultural consumers. Take a listen (or, watch/listen via YouTube ) and you'll understand a couple of powerful market forces reshaping advertising today: the renaissance of local advertising and the still key need for  inclusive audience reach. With local advertising projected to reach $33 billion this year (growing at 16% year-over-year), Peter shares how Premion -- an industry-leading CTV/OTT ad platform with directly-sourced inventory from 125+ premium publishers -- helps advertisers make data-driven decisions that prioritize "outcomes over impressions." Learn also how local and regional advertisers can leverage the same sophisticated targeting and measurement capabilities previously available only to national brands. Did you know they are "TAG Platinum" certified? That, combined with their company approach to business, means all their inventory is brand safe. Peter also teased a pretty impressive case study of a restaurant chain is measuring direct sales impact from their advertising campaigns right off transactions.   In the second segment, Sheila introduces us to the company she runs, "Mirror Digital," which has pioneered connecting brands with diverse audiences across digital platforms for over 13 years. She breaks down the misconception that multicultural audiences are "niche," (um, 43% of the pop is NOT niche!), and their combined $6.8 trillion in buying power – larger than the GDP of any European or Latin American country -- should be pretty enticing to ANY brand advertiser! Oh, and remember, that other little "niche," WOMEN, drive 80% of household purchasing decisions. It might be why Mirror Digital has worked with major brands like General Motors, Verizon, and Amazon. (I did a great interview back in 2021 with Cadillac CMO Melissa Grady Dias and we talked a little more about their approach to inclusivity, which is DEFINITELY still important, despite our political climate.)  Here are some of the key moments: [00:00:29] Peter Jones introduces Premion's focus on local markets and helping regional agencies with scaled buying power [00:01:19] Why local advertising is having its moment and impressive projections for 2025 [00:03:05] The three key factors advertisers need today: inventory, data, and measurement [00:09:28] Jones' mantra of "outcomes over impressions" in advertising strategy [00:11:07] How a restaurant chain measures direct sales transactions from Premion advertising [00:14:52] Sheila Marmon on Mirror Digital's mission of connecting brands with inclusive audiences [00:15:22] Why diverse audiences aren't "niche" (and their $6T (yes, a "T") in  buying power) Follow, Connect & Share the Love Connect with Peter Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonespeter/  and visit Premion: https://premion.com/ Learn about Mirror Digital and Sheila Marmon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheila-marmon-0398074/ Connect with E.B.

Michael Pento, president and founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies (PPS), joins Julia La Roche on episode 233 where he delivers a stark warning about the state of financial markets. Pento challenges Fed Chair Powell's recent victory lap on inflation, pointing out that prices have remained above the Fed's 2% target for nearly four years. He outlines his thesis for what he calls a "triumvirate of bubbles" in equities, real estate, and credit markets, explaining why these interconnected asset bubbles could lead to a market correction of at least 50%. Drawing on his 34 years of experience and proprietary 20-point liquidity model, Pento provides detailed evidence for his concerns while sharing insights on portfolio positioning, the impact of Trump 2.0, and potential solutions to America's mounting debt crisis.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/juliaLinks: https://pentoport.com/ https://twitter.com/michaelpento0:00 Intro and welcome Michael0:43 Powell's congressional testimony & inflation criticism 3:02 Fed's $5T post-COVID liquidity & reverse repo facility 6:43 Warning of market bubbles 7:28 Evidence of equity bubble (Market cap to GDP, price to sales) 10:27 Credit bubble & private credit markets 11:24 Liquidity draining from system 13:08 Trump 2.0 impact on markets 14:37 Analyzing market liquidity (20-point model) 18:21 Future recession & $6T deficit concerns 19:41 Potential silver lining: Market reset 21:10 Fed's rate cut dilemma 23:10 Treasury gold revaluation discussion 25:56 Solutions to US debt crisis 28:44 Current portfolio strategy 31:51 Critique of passive investment industry 35:00 Closing thoughts & contact information

欢迎收听雪球和喜马拉雅联合出品的财经有深度雪球国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。听众朋友们大家好我是主播匪石，今天分享的内容叫关于AI投资的二十条实践记录，来自左庶子。我实践高景气AI产业投资一年多以来，倍感AI投资的曲折不易，既要具有AI知识解读能力，又要具有商业与产业视角，更重要的，要具有持续跟踪的韧劲。关于AI商业逻辑1：AI投资逻辑依然是基本面为核心，以净利润释放作为评判标准，不要被周边投资者朋友所误导，坚持正确的选股思路，远离那些模糊的星辰题材股。2：AI商业模式多以第二增长曲线为主要净利润形成机制，不要试图在AI板块中去寻找那些0-1的公司，远离那些没有基础业务作过渡的黑科技公司，AI领域不是一个随随便便就可以成功的行业。3：AI投资本质上属于景气度投资，在产业链中竞争格局尤为重要，业绩容许一到两个季度的错失，但竞争格局不能丝毫滑坡。细分的领军企业必须有维系竞争优势的产品、财报及卡位能力。4：AI景气度投资第一阶段属于"预立"阶段，即有足够的官方数据来证明其领先优势，第二阶段属于“业绩”阶段，这一阶段必须要有足够的财务数据来证明其领先优势。第一阶段财务数据或许有滞后性，但可以通过公司官方交流平台获得领先优势的证据，例如：小批量证验情况，订单情况。关于AI产业演进5：AI是产业革命，先有算力资本开支周期，再有蓬勃发展的应用及爆款，不要以需求来推导惯常投资逻辑。不要低估算力投资周期，而过早的介入AI应用浪花中，真正的AI大应用周期还未开始。AGI迭代的速度并没有丝毫放缓，GPT-5是24年最受期待的事件。6：从产业投资周期来说，国内大致落后北美二年，国产算力最好的投资周期或许在25年，两个方面的证据，一个是国产GPU突破性转折在今年，另一个是国产算力万卡集群样板今年有机会落成。国产GPU产业的成熟必须经历发布->规模化样板可行这样过程。7：AI北美商业规则遵循竞争与BLM领先战略，CSP为AI核心需求方，供应链呈现强者恒强的生态；国内商业规则以政商及竞争兼顾，AI客户包括电信/金融/政府/互联网四大需求方，供应链呈现均衡生态。8：AI应用近三年主流方向：B端的办公/游戏/传媒降本增效，C端的人形机器人/自动驾驶/MR，C端的现象级爆款产品。微软和谷歌的经营数据透露率先在B端获得商业成功，而相比而言，倍受期待的人形机器人/自动驾驶真正商业化应用要到2026年左右，与此同时，C端产品Pika, Sora等都缺乏引爆iphone时刻的产品基因。换言之，将焦点重回到B端的降本增效上会显得更为务实。关于AI竞争格局9：光模块三杰中中际旭创竞争格局最好，由800G领先优势演进为800G/1.6T/硅光产品矩阵型优势。新易盛24年增量最大，800G批量出货及CSP对400G需求的激增。天孚通信绑定FN进入英伟达链，空间取决于FN获单能力及硅光时代对上游光器件的竞争格局重塑。10：PCB三强中以沪电股份的竞争格局最好，进入英伟达链，广合科技受益最有弹性，绑定戴尔大客户，并且 AI占比最高。深南电路深度绑定华为链，充分受益于华为AI服务器，但相比英伟达链，业绩释放会滞后至少一个周期。11：其它类几个典型受益股包括液冷的英维克，液冷竞争格局最好，充分享受AI带来的PUE提升价值，同时客户绑定英特尔；铜缆的沃尔核材，有望成为安费诺最大份额高速铜缆订单的获益者。12：北美无可争议的最强竞争格局：GPU的英伟达，连接器的安费诺，液冷的维谛技术，HBM的美光科技，AI交换机的Arista。关于AI估值逻辑13：AI算力估值模型以高景气三年期最高年净利润基准的30倍PE作为股价峰值，而新能源估值经验值是五年期最高利润的30倍PE，由于AI产业的迭代速度高于新能源，但都属于高景气产业，估值具有一定的借鉴意义。14，估值是动态变化的，受竞争力的强弱变化影响较大。光模块的中际旭创以25年高盛100亿和海通国际81亿的预估值，取中值90亿，即中际旭创的峰值在2700亿市值。倘若后述中际旭创亦确认为硅光的领军企业，意味着竞争力又加强了，此时我们的估值模型可以动态上调到40倍。15，估值是动态变化的，受竞争位置影响较大。假设：英伟达作为AI全球核心依照上述模型以为50倍PE，基于23年业绩线性外推按每年50%增长，则25年按净利润600亿美元来推导股价峰值约为3万亿美元。中际旭创作为英伟达的核心供应商，在AI产业中弱于英伟达，可以给到30倍PE，再往产业链端进一步延伸，铜缆的沃尔核材或许只能享受20倍PE。16，估值是动态变化的，第一阶段的估值溢价受预估的净利润释放速度影响较大，净利润释放速度越快，估值提升越快，第一阶段股价享受估值溢价。对于第二增长曲线，净利润释放速度取决于三个关键因素：第二业务的营收占比，第二业务毛利率相比传统业务提升幅度，原有运营费率的大小。第二业务营收占比越高，原有运营费率越大，第二业务毛利率提升越快，则净利润释放速度越快。关于AI交易与技术17：相比白酒和新能源而言，国内AI科技股竞争格局属于跟随，缺乏产业领导能力，因此技术形态上处于极易动荡风格。我们不能以终局思维去长线持有一支国内科技票，建议以中线思维持仓及持续性动态跟踪。18：AI景气度投资的三次重大进场机会：第一阶段的三浪位置（即趋势升起后的第一个基底），此位置竞争格局初步确定，股票处于最强动量；第二阶段的底部位置，此位置竞争格局完全确定，因市场环境因素给与了极佳的入场机会；第二阶段的三浪位置（即趋势升起后的第一个基底），此位置存在技术钝化及审美疲态，对于领军股，仍然是较安全的入场位置。19：趋势的转折是AI投资中技术的重点，掌握必要的逃顶技巧能提升我们的持股体验，技术上关注顶部的放量上影线及破位放量大阴线的弱反抽。中军股的顶部结构往往更有规律性，以中军股的走势作为AI板块的逃顶依据。20：AI科技股容易出现震仓，震仓与破位的区分，是我们必须要掌握的技巧，区分点在于几天内能否强势收回，另外与位置也有关系，底部结构及三浪位置，出现震仓的概率高，五浪及更长延伸浪的破位概率更高。以上仅为我的个人总结，请投资者朋友自行斟酌，也欢迎朋友们分享与交流！

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Highlights from Lex Fridman's interview of Yann LeCun, published by Joel Burget on March 14, 2024 on LessWrong. Introduction Yann LeCun is perhaps the most prominent critic of the "LessWrong view" on AI safety, the only one of the three "godfathers of AI" to not acknowledge the risks of advanced AI. So, when he recently appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast, I listened with the intent to better understand his position. LeCun came across as articulate / thoughtful[1]. Though I don't agree with it all, I found a lot worth sharing. Most of this post consists of quotes from the transcript, where I've bolded the most salient points. There are also a few notes from me as well as a short summary at the end. Limitations of Autoregressive LLMs Lex Fridman (00:01:52) You've said that autoregressive LLMs are not the way we're going to make progress towards superhuman intelligence. These are the large language models like GPT-4, like Llama 2 and 3 soon and so on. How do they work and why are they not going to take us all the way? Yann LeCun (00:02:47) For a number of reasons. The first is that there [are] a number of characteristics of intelligent behavior. For example, the capacity to understand the world, understand the physical world, the ability to remember and retrieve things, persistent memory, the ability to reason, and the ability to plan. Those are four essential characteristics of intelligent systems or entities, humans, animals. LLMs can do none of those or they can only do them in a very primitive way and they don't really understand the physical world. They don't really have persistent memory. They can't really reason and they certainly can't plan. And so if you expect the system to become intelligent without having the possibility of doing those things, you're making a mistake. That is not to say that autoregressive LLMs are not useful. They're certainly useful. That they're not interesting, that we can't build a whole ecosystem of applications around them… of course we can. But as a pass towards human-level intelligence, they're missing essential components. (00:04:08) And then there is another tidbit or fact that I think is very interesting. Those LLMs are trained on enormous amounts of texts, basically, the entirety of all publicly available texts on the internet, right? That's typically on the order of 10^13 tokens. Each token is typically two bytes, so that's 2*10^13 bytes as training data. It would take you or me 170,000 years to just read through this at eight hours a day. So it seems like an enormous amount of knowledge that those systems can accumulate, but then you realize it's really not that much data. If you talk to developmental psychologists and they tell you a four-year-old has been awake for 16,000 hours in his or her life, and the amount of information that has reached the visual cortex of that child in four years is about 10^15 bytes. (00:05:12) And you can compute this by estimating that the optical nerve can carry about 20 megabytes per second roughly, and so 10 to the 15 bytes for a four-year-old versus two times 10 to the 13 bytes for 170,000 years worth of reading. What that tells you is that through sensory input, we see a lot more information than we do through language, and that despite our intuition, most of what we learn and most of our knowledge is through our observation and interaction with the real world, not through language. Everything that we learn in the first few years of life, and certainly everything that animals learn has nothing to do with language. Checking some claims: An LLM training corpus is on order of 10^13 tokens. This seems about right: "Llama 2 was trained on 2.4T tokens and PaLM 2 on 3.6T tokens. GPT-4 is thought to have been trained on 4T tokens… Together AI introduced a 1 trillion (1T) token dataset called RedPaj...

The fallout continues from President Biden's State of the Union speech. As he claims he cut $1trillion off the federal deficit already, he claims he will cut an additional $1T in the next decade. Luckily, today we have Senator Rand Paul with us to fact check the President. Truth is, we've racked up $6T in debt in the 3 years Biden has been in office. Sen. Paul gives his unpopular opinion to NOT ban TikTok and makes his case for the position. Sean reacts to Nancy Mace being set-up by George Stephanopolous as he man-splanded to her how sexual assault victims respond. It's a master-class from Mace, be invited to an MSDNC show to advocate a position and instead finding yourself in the cross-hairs of a TV gotcha moment.  Learn more about your ad choices.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Shock and Awe 1 What should we be focused on if we really wanted to change America? We have Democrats on the ropes in all areas of society: Crime; just saw illegals beat down 2 NYPD cops. What better example of Leftism can you find? Defund the Police, take THAT! And how about we revisit building that wall? And what about Affirmative Action: Talk about showcase that monumental fail front and center, look at Fani Willis. Her appearance was a trainwreck. Letitia James will likely get a temporary win, but it will be overturned. Alvin Bragg's case is doomed. The justice system? Forget how Fani Willis is behaving, let's not forget the Bidens. Now we are told that the chief FBI whistleblower is a LIAR? Well we can't have a LIAR in our midst, when the job is to protect the Liar-In-Chief and his family. Super Bowl shooter. Those dang GUNS! All distractions from what? The corrupt Biden family; would you want to investigate fully a business with ties to our enemy, and who is selling influence in our political system. Shouldn't this be JOB ONE? How much scratching around the surface can we do, when we have all the evidence. And now Democrats pretend that our evidence is bogus with this latest farce. More on that in a bit. [SEGMENT 1-2] Shock and Awe 2 [X] SB – Jill Biden blames Trump on border https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1758170556166197692 Joe and Jill Biden walk in front of a big valentine on the WH lawn after having taken a picture in front of it. As they head towards the WH, Joe asks Jill if they want to get a picture in front of it. She responds, we already did. Inflation through the roof. Or is it? Not according to Biden. Just when you start believing the life that you're living, the Biden administration reports new data. Now you can recalibrate. Data emerges about Covid that doesn't support the government experts, yet no apologies. No recompense for those hurt by the allegations of being anti-vaxxers or spreading disinformation. Even to this day, the Left try to act as if their being BLATANTLY wrong is not their fault. They did their DUTY and trusted the experts. [X] SB – Media mashup Covid do your own research Don't let it dominate your life?! Everyone should be afraid of Covid Won't be free until we look at the acknowledged truth Science is truth. Openly questioning science Do what you are told You are a THREAT! A denier Seek out the scientists. Trust the experts. Do my own research. Roots of this phrase Tased over not wearing mask. Want to KILL them. Don't listen to Trump. But listen to Gates Follow science The government lying about a supposedly deadly disease that cost $6T and we are no more safe than we were previously. Who all is involved in that lie? The border invasion that disrupts every area of our lives… Joe Biden IS old and demented [SEGMENT 1-3] Shock and Awe 3 Atlanta Fani Willis had another chance to make her case. Prosecutors are often frustrated actors, and prone to courtroom theatrics. Fani is no exception. Too bad, as one wag put it 'every time she opens her mouth she admits to another felony.' She really has been promoted above her level of competence. Looks like she, and her case, will be tossed out pretty soon. Of course, to Fani, all of this is a lie, and she is not really on trial here. NY This was another grand theatre performance. Judge Arthur Engoron, who has made quite a few courtroom performances, decided that Trump was guilty (without allowing him a defense or to even speak), and fined him $364 million for 'fraud' and ordered him not to conduct business in NY for three years, nor to use any NY bank for that time. PersecutionThis is really blatant political persecution, trying to bankrupt the opposition and keep them off the ballot. Unlikely that this will hold up on appeal. What is likely is that 'as you treat others, so shall you be treated'. Keep an eye on this judge. At some point, things are not going to go well for him. NYC By the way, the average price for a one-topping pizza in NY now is $34 - thanks to the politicians, illegals, criminals and court system. No wonder people are moving out as fast as they can. Gangs The illegals who attacked the cops and beat them were members of the gang "Tran de Aragua". They were released after a local sanctuary church posted bail for them. (The Venezuelan gang is 'teaming' with MS-13, the animals from El Salvador. Ed) 23 & Me This company has tanked. They collected DNA on millions of people, and now all that data is compromised. Big Tech and various government agencies now have access to all that very personal information, and no restrictions on what they do with it. So much to look forward to... Tranny of the Year This person calls his/her self Pattie Gonia. Looks like the makeup is applied with a trowel. [SEGMENT 1-4] Shock and Awe 4 - Backfire Despite shock and awe, we as conservatives are FEASTING! Two things are about to happen that won't be good for Joe Biden or the Democrats. First, America will learn the truth about how the Biden family used Joe Biden for their individual grifts. Second, Joe Biden will be outed for being a corrupt politician, no different from most of his Democrat cronies. Regarding the latter, Biden's days are numbered. So Leftist elites have authorized the leak of information formerly kept under wraps in the media. Case in point, this article in Politico about Jim Biden's health care scam. Politico explains, In 2017, a hospital operator set out to build a rural health care empire with the help of a Philadelphia-area consultant. The consultant, Jim Biden, had no experience running hospitals. But he did understand the federal government and had ties to labor unions. Perhaps more important, he was the younger brother of Joe Biden. Sound familiar? A Biden family member involving himself in business where he has no experience? What could Jim Biden possibly be selling? I suspect if "investigators" follow the money, there will be a circuitous path that ends with "the big guy" getting his part. The article further explains that Joe Biden understood the finality of his tenure as Obama's VP. The final years of the Obama administration had cemented the former vice president's towering stature in the world of health care, where he had made the fight against cancer a top federal priority and, then, a centerpiece of his legacy-building efforts. For then 67-year-old Jim Biden, the third of four Biden siblings, his ties to his older brother made up much of his pitch as he pursued deals that could help Americore make money from drug rehab, lab testing and even cancer treatment. “This would be a perfect platform to expose my Brothers team to [your] protocol,” Jim Biden wrote to the CEO of a Tampa-area company that controlled licensing rights to an experimental cancer treatment the hospital operator wanted to offer. “Could provide a great opportunity for some real exposure.” Recall that Obama put Joe Biden in charge of curing cancer. How did Biden perform? Like a Biden. I documented how Biden's cancer charity was a scam: The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group's president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019), according to the charity's most recent federal tax filings. Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House's cancer task force in President Barack Obama's administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show. With a scam like this, why not introduce the Biden family racket to the health care industry. They could print money. The article continues, The email, obtained by POLITICO from a person close to the company, documents one of the many ways in which Jim Biden invoked his brother's name and clout in the course of his work with Americore, which has since gone bankrupt, wreaking havoc in rural communities in the process. Unearthed email? Joe Biden was vetted, and Democrats knew every detail of his life. The pathological lies. The philandering and sexual assaults. And of course the grifts. Joe Biden has been for sale for decades. After he was hand-picked from the collection of Leftist losers to get shoe-horned as POTUS in the coup of Trump, Biden was given a license to steal. He could fully entrenched himself in his family's larceny, behind the scenes of course. Duplicate email accounts with fake names, multiple bank accounts, and burner phones is how the family operated. Undoubtedly, no legitimate business in America operates like the Biden family businesses. And you can bet if Trump set his businesses up like this, the entire Trump family would be in prison, including Barron. While Leftists focus on Donald Trump's admitted and sanctioned business bankruptcies, they never discuss those of the Bidens. Almost every deal touched by the Bidens ends up in bankruptcy or insolvency of some sort. The bigger the company, the bigger the fall. Americore. Gone. Burisma. Gone. Even the partnership the Biden family had with a Chinese spy who worked for the Chinese Communist Party. Gone. America. GONE! Why would anybody "invest" with the Bidens? The Bidens bring no market expertise to any businesses they pursue. Worse, they suck millions of dollars from the bottom line; yet companies seem anxious to work with them. Back to the email. Th

Many Black voters are starting to become upset with Biden and the Democrats over reparations. The US spent $2.6T during the pandemic. Ukraine has received $113B of our tax dollars so far yet they claim there's no money for reparations. We must take the position of "No Reparations, No Vote" in order to show we mean business. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phillipscottpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phillipscottpodcast/support

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: PaLM-2 & GPT-4 in "Extrapolating GPT-N performance", published by Lukas Finnveden on May 30, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Two and a half years ago, I wrote Extrapolating GPT-N performance, trying to predict how fast scaled-up models would improve on a few benchmarks. One year ago, I added PaLM to the graphs. Another spring has come and gone, and there are new models to add to the graphs: PaLM-2 and GPT-4. (Though I only know GPT-4's performance on a small handful of benchmarks.) Converting to Chinchilla scaling laws In previous iterations of the graph, the x-position represented the loss on GPT-3's validation set, and the x-axis was annotated with estimates of size+data that you'd need to achieve that loss according to the Kaplan scaling laws. (When adding PaLM to the graph, I estimated its loss using those same Kaplan scaling laws.) In these new iterations, the x-position instead represents an estimate of (reducible) loss according to the Chinchilla scaling laws. Even without adding any new data-points, this predicts faster progress, since the Chinchilla scaling laws describes how to get better performance for less compute. The appendix describes how I estimate Chinchilla reducible loss for GPT-3 and PaLM-1. Briefly: For the GPT-3 data points, I convert from loss reported in the GPT-3 paper, to the minimum of parameters and tokens you'd need to achieve that loss according to Kaplan scaling laws, and then plug those numbers of parameters and tokens into the Chinchilla loss function. For PaLM-1, I straightforwardly put its parameter- and token-count into the Chinchilla loss function. To start off, let's look at a graph with only GPT-3 and PaLM-1, with a Chinchilla x-axis. Here's a quick explainer of how to read the graphs (the original post contains more details). Each dot represents a particular model's performance on a particular category of benchmarks (taken from papers about GPT-3 and PaLM). Color represents benchmark; y-position represents benchmark performance (normalized between random and my guess of maximum possible performance). The x-axis labels are all using the Chinchilla scaling laws to predict reducible loss-per-token, number of parameters, number of tokens, and total FLOP (if language models at that loss were trained Chinchilla-optimally). Compare to the last graph in this comment, which is the same with a Kaplan x-axis. Some things worth noting: PaLM is now ~0.5 OOM of compute less far along the x-axis. This corresponds to the fact that you could get PaLM for cheaper if you used optimal parameter- and data-scaling. The smaller GPT-3 models are farther to the right on the x-axis. I think this is mainly because the x-axis in my previous post had a different interpretation. The overall effect is that the data points get compressed together, and the slope becomes steeper. Previously, the black "Average" sigmoid reached 90% at ~1e28 FLOP. Now it looks like it reaches 90% at ~5e26 FLOP. Let's move on to PaLM-2. If you want to guess whether PaLM-2 and GPT-4 will underperform or outperform extrapolations, now might be a good time to think about that. PaLM-2 If this CNBC leak is to be trusted, PaLM-2 uses 340B parameters and is trained on 3.6T tokens. That's more parameters and less tokens than is recommended by the Chinchilla training laws. Possible explanations include: The model isn't dense. Perhaps it implements some type of mixture-of-experts situation that means that its effective parameter-count is smaller. It's trained Chinchilla-optimally for multiple epochs on a 3.6T token dataset. The leak is wrong. If we assume that the leak isn't too wrong, I think that fairly safe bounds for PaLM-2's Chinchilla-equivalent compute is: It's as good as a dense Chinchilla-optimal model trained on just 3.6T tokens, i.e. one with 3.6T/20=180B parameters.

T概念车量产版。细心的你可能观察到这代国产的途胜在名字后面接了一个L，没错，国内在售的都是长轴版。但是途胜L并不是中国特供，在漂亮国和思密达也都有长轴版本。加长之后，途胜L的长宽高为4670/1865/1690毫米，轴距2755mm，这三围除了车身高度以外，其他的和起亚狮铂拓界完全一致。它俩这尺寸放在合资车里，基本属于上游水平，比一众日系车要大一圈。外观上，我觉得这一代的途胜L还是蛮有设计感的。车头部分，大灯采用了分体式，日间行车灯被集成在了前格栅里，大灯和中网设计的比较协调。并且在不同角度下还会有不同的反射效果，所以车头整体给人的感觉蛮新颖的，甚至还有一点现在流行的“机甲风”设计。车侧部分也很有力量感，分段式腰线直来直去，同时也营造出了前后轮有巨大轮拱的效果。贯穿式尾灯再加四颗獠牙一样的刹车灯，也很有记忆点。所以总的来说，这一代的途胜L在外观颜值上还是很能打的。不过也就是因为途胜L的外观颜值不错，看完外观后再进入到内饰，内心可能会有点落差。因为相比途胜L的外观，它的内饰就显得非常平淡了。就比如10.4英寸的竖向中控屏，虽然尺寸不小，但是它的边框太宽了，都能停两艘航母了。而且整体车机的界面布局也很简单过时，所以呈现出来的效果就像车主在汽配城自己换的大屏幕一样。除此之外，它的仪表虽然尺寸还行，低配7英寸，中高配10.25英寸，但是界面也很老旧，所以整体看下来，不知道的以为这是5年前的车型。把它放在2023年，真的有些格格不入。要我说，这内饰还不如它的兄弟狮铂拓界来的高级。（起亚狮铂拓界）在动力上，这一代的途胜L已经完全弃用了之前的1.6T发动机，采用了全新的1.5T引擎。这台发动机有CVVD技术，即“连续可变气门持续期”，是一种可以将气门保持开启状态的时间，根据发动机状态进行优化控制的技术。理论上，这个技术的好处，就是可以让发动机无级调整空燃比，始终另发动机处在最优工作区间，并可根据工况调整动力输出能力，让其实现强动力输出的同时，还可以做到低油耗。目前途胜L 1.5T给出的WLTC标准下百公里综合油耗是6.9L。不过，有消息称这台1.5T发动机，是现代海外最新1.6T经过缩小排量而来的，不过这也可能理解，国内得排量税正好卡在1.5L和2.0L，所以如果把海外最新的1.6T引入国内确实有点吃亏，还不如缩小100CC的排量，成本也不会太高。但是不管怎么说它的最大马力有200匹，最大扭矩253匹，这数据都已经超过了很多2.0T低功率版了。在变速箱上，之前途胜L全系用的都是7速干式双离合，去年11月改款之后，现在两驱版用的都是8AT了，四驱版依然还是7速干式双离合。这台8AT变速箱是现代汽车自研的横置8AT变速箱，各类汽车媒体都给了很高的评价，响应灵敏，换挡平顺，可靠性高。但是，在客户端有一种声音，很多车主抱怨这款变速箱有异响，这个问题始终无法解决，官方也没有任何解释。至于混动版途胜L，首先它是HEV不是插混PHEV，因此不免购置税，不能上绿牌。其次这台车2.0L发动机，马力150匹，但是扭矩只有186牛米，账面数据一般，但是好在有电机辅助，动力输出也不会有问题。不过，这套混动属于“重油轻电”型，主要靠发动机运转输出动力，因此匹配了一台6AT变速箱。这套6AT没有液力变矩器，是用轴向的磁通电机取而代之。说这么多大家也不感兴趣，直接说油耗可能你兴趣才会稍微大一点。根据老车主反馈，这车真实油耗也就在5.5L左右。而且非常神奇的是，无论城市还是高速，油耗基本都在这个位置。当然，你也不会因为贼省油就盲目下单，一看售价起步就要18.58万，高配要到22.58万，所以对不起了，告辞。为何途胜越卖越差？我觉得首先还得从它的命名和车型说起。在之前那期狮铂拓界节目的时候，说到起亚狮跑后来的命名错综复杂，一会叫狮跑，一会儿又叫智跑和KX5。结果现在又改名狮铂拓界，之前的智跑又成了一款全新的车型。但是不管是狮跑、智跑、KX5还是狮铂拓界，它们在海外通通都叫一个名字Sportage。（起亚第一代狮跑）同样，作为狮跑亲兄弟的现代途胜也依然有这个问题。途胜在海外名字叫做Tucson，很明显就是根据读音翻译过来的。在2006年，北京现代正式将Tucson国产，并取名途胜，这也是第一代途胜。（现代第一代途胜）可以说当时的韩系车不管是途胜还是狮跑，外形都还不错，再加上当时的城市SUV车型可选的非常少，而且途胜的价格在当年就已经很有性价比了，16.58-24.18万，十几万就能买到一台SUV简直不要太划算，所以途胜和狮跑便一炮而红。到了2010年，现代将第二代Tucson改名为ix35，老款途胜继续卖，也就是两代同堂销售。有了第一代的口碑的销量，再加上第二代的外形也依然很亮眼，所以ix35也依然是大卖。（第二代Tucson，即一开始的ix35）到了2015年，第三代Tucson引入国内，本以为北京现代会继续把Tucson命名为ix35，结果直接把途胜停产，将最新的Tucson又改回了途胜一名。就等于说Tucson第一代叫途胜，第二代叫ix35，第三代以及后续的四代五代又叫回了途胜，真是让人摸不到头脑。并且ix35继续在卖，依然坚持两代同堂销售的策略。（第三代Tucson，中文名又叫回了途胜）直到2018年，ix35它自己换代了，它自己独立了出来。这思路和隔壁的起亚如出一辙，简直是离谱他妈给离谱开门，离谱到家了。但是ix35看似是换代了，但还一直在沿用之前第二代Tucson的底盘。从发动机就能看出来，一直是多年未变的2.0L+6AT。也就是从2018年开始，ix35和起亚智跑一起变成了中国特供车，它俩也是换壳车。并且ix35的车型定位比途胜更低了。所以2018年以后要想买到正宗的全球车型Tucson，应该选途胜而不是ix35。（2018年开始独立出来的ix35）除了途胜以外，现代的伊兰特之前命名也是错综复杂、混乱不堪，一开始叫伊兰特，后来又叫悦动、朗动、领动，结果又叫回了伊兰特，更可笑的是悦动到现在还一直在卖，简直看不懂。所以清晰的命名思路和历史也是一款车型成功的必要条件。就像日产轩逸，即便它也是新老同堂销售，但是只有新老两代，而且老款叫轩逸经典，命名简单明了。（最新款伊兰特）其次，从2018年第四代途胜上市开始，一直到去年五代途胜的中期改款前，所有的途胜用的都是7速干式双离合变速箱。干式双离合就等同于三缸发动机一样，很多人一听到就直摇头，也不管它口碑和技术到底怎么样。相信在座的粉丝一听到干式双离合，除非它是大众速腾，否则大概率还是会直接转身走人。所以也就是从那时候开始，途胜的大势已去，后面的命运也注定了不会好过。但是没想到现代这么轴，这干式双离合一用就是四年。在2021年第五代途胜上市时，不错的外观再加加长的轴距，也淘汰了之前问题百出的1.6T发动机，本以外现代要靠它卷土重来，结果仔细一看却发现全系依然只有7速干式双离合这一款变速箱可选，所以更加注定这款车只有被市场孤立的份儿了。除了命名混乱以外，途胜的颜值之前也是在走下坡路的。尤其是2019款的途胜，放弃海外标准的国际化前脸，用上了中国特供的小噘嘴。那时候某音上还有首歌很火，“嘴巴嘟嘟，嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟”，用它来形容19款的途胜真的再贴切不过了。（2019款第四代途胜）本以为第五代来了之后要大干一场，结果又被变速箱拖了后腿。所以途胜现在一个月还能卖个三五千台完全是靠颜值和大幅优惠的支撑。21款的1.5T精英一直是卖得不错的车型，裸车价17.08万，优惠基本都在4万左右，裸车在13万出头，15万左右落地。不过目前主销的两驱版都已换上了消费者喜闻乐见的8AT，相信接下来只要维持之前的优惠，途胜L的销量肯定会更高的，所以准备花小钱办大事的等等党们再等一等，毕竟花15万买个合资8AT的紧凑级SUV还是有点性价比的。真要买，那途胜L的配置该怎么选？途胜L目前一共7个配置，从16.18万-20.78万。分为领先、精英、豪华、尊12贵四个基础配置，每一档差别仅在5-9k上下。再加上精英、尊贵，旗舰N Line版四个配置，一共7个配置。从厂家角度看，当然更希望客户买的是N Line版本，毕竟前期带着N Line性能车来中国转了一圈，也花了一些力气做了宣传。厂家更希望吸引年轻客户，带动高配车型的销量。而实际上，途胜L的主销车型却是低配精英17.08万这款，以及高配尊贵18.18万这款，这两个配置占了至少8成以上的销量。而那三个N Line版本，有的地方销售甚至都没见过真车。途胜L低配精英卖得好，其实也很好理解。首先因为便宜，17.08万的指导价，实际4s店还可以优惠4万左右，13万上下的裸车价，这车怎么看也是值的。毕竟是合资，瘦死骆驼比马大，关键他还真的空间比同级的CR-V、RAV4要大，配置也比他们的低配要高，而价格却比他们便宜2-3万。另一方面，精英是次低配，比起最低配领先版，多出了很多实用功能：18寸轮毂、前后头部气帘、全景天窗、无钥匙启动、无钥匙进入、真皮方向盘、真皮座椅、主驾电动调节、腰部支撑、6喇叭、外后视镜加热折叠、后排出风口等等。多这么多，只贵了9000元，再加上经销商大幅折扣，实际感知差价会更少。另一方面，途胜L高配尊贵卖得好，主要是多了一套主动安全配置，像车道保持、主动刹车、盲区影像等等这些都配齐了，但是全速自适应巡航还需要选配。这就像是开水烧到了99°，差一点就到沸点了，但是他就是不给。在看得见的地方，10.25英寸全液晶仪表，比起低配7英寸的明显科技感强了很多，副驾驶也带电动了，车机系统也有车联网了，64色氛围灯也更带感了。但是有一件很神奇的事，比尊贵版便宜6000元的豪华版，竟然有全速自适应巡航，也就是带Hyundai Smart Sense，而18.18万的尊贵却没有，需要选装。所以大家要的还是看得见的舒适配置，至于什么主动安全配置，多一点少一点都无所谓。途胜L和狮铂拓界又该怎么选？其实从官方的配置单看，虽然途胜L和狮铂拓界是同平台的亲兄弟，但是它俩是有高低之分的。现款途胜L主打1.5T+8AT的两驱版，同时还有四驱和2.0L混动版作为辅助。狮铂拓界主打2.0T+8AT，因为1.5T的狮铂拓界只有两款，但是2.0T的狮铂拓界有6款，前驱低中高配+四驱低中高配。从目前的市场情况来看，买2.0T+8AT的狮铂拓界占据了大多数。所以如果你看中动力表现，那2.0T+8AT的狮铂拓界可能会更适合你。据说现在卖得最好的2.0T两驱旗舰版指导价22.08万，优惠完裸车18万，落地不到20万。毕竟是236马力的高功率2.0T合资SUV，这价格比一众德系日系有吸引力。所以如果你更在乎性价比，1.5T+8AT的途胜L更适合你。但是如果论品牌，那现代还是要更硬一些。所以总结来说，现代起亚这俩韩系车目前的产品力一般，但是奈何怎么样也是合资品牌，再加上给力的优惠，让一小部分消费者还是愿意买它。毕竟花小钱办大事是人人都愿意的，但事实真的如此吗？途胜L适合什么样的人买？途胜L其实是款综合产品力相当不错的SUV车型，但是放在合资SUV里，谁的实力都不弱。比如CR-V、RAV4、途观L、探岳这些产品，就像一个个学霸坐在自己周围。这让我想到前不久跟一朋友聊天，他说前段时间他儿子成绩下滑了，班级前20名，变成了前30名（全班50多人），因此天天被他骂。结果老师看他儿子情绪低落，就找家长沟通，这时候家长才知道，他儿子就算是班级前30名，也能排到全年级前80名。因为他儿子在特快班，全年级最顶尖的那个班。而他父母一直以为，他儿子估计成绩落到了全年级中游去了（全年级700多人）。除此之外，咱们国产SUV也是异军突起，传统燃油SUV哈弗H6和长安CS75PLUS一直卖得都很好，不知道抢走了多少合资车客户，其中估计不少还是看过韩系现代途胜L的。拼性价比，途胜L肯定是拼不过长安、长城、奇瑞、吉利的。而在混动层面，咱们国产HEV混动这两年也是新车琳琅满目，定价也都相对合理，韩系还是干不过咱们。再说这PHEV插混市场，我就说三个字：比亚迪，大家就应该懂了。所以买途胜L的人，我估计大多是年纪比较大，或者是心态比较老成，仍然保守的只信合资产品的品质，非合资车不买。但是又觉得大众，本田，丰田性价比不高。最后看看现代，觉得哇塞，这性价比真不错。这类客户甚至都没有去过长安、长城，吉利，奇瑞，比亚迪的4s店。另一方面，北京现代毕竟曾经辉煌过，伊兰特，索纳塔，途胜都曾是街头能见度非常高的车型，那么很多家庭对于韩系车的品质还是印象很深的，省心，省油都不错，就是跟日系比好像保值率差一些。那么他们置换新车，可能就会开着现代去看现代。我觉得北京现代需要做的事，也是得挖掘现代品牌与中国人之间割舍不掉的关系，唤醒老客户的情怀，告知新客户自己的定位。到底把车卖给谁，谁才是自己的对手，看清楚了才能全力以赴。大家觉得我说得对吗？可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

1994年，然后是本田CR-V 1995年，等于说这三款车型是前后脚发布的。而且你要是看过照片你就会发现，不管是狮跑、CR-V还是RAV4，当时长得好像都差不多，方方正正的形状再加一个小书包。而且，当年狮跑进入中国市场的时间，与本田CR-V与丰田RAV4几乎是同步的，在中国市场SUV消费井喷的时代，也算是吃到了一波红利。（第一代Sportage）这也很好理解，毕竟当时城市SUV这个概念，才刚刚从硬派越野车里划分出来，所以多多少少还残留很多硬派越野的设计。就像那时候的狮跑，不光外形像硬派越野，就连车身用的还是带大梁的非承载式。（第一代Sportage）不过起亚也对车身进行了一些优化，比如让车轮部分的车架大幅弯曲，降低了离地间隙，这样就提升了在城市道路上的行驶稳定性和舒适性。直到第二代，也就是我们国人熟悉的狮跑，才变成了承载式车身，和硬派越野车脱离了干系。起亚狮跑的英文叫Sportage，它是一款车的命名，并不是一个系列。它最早在2005年以进口车的身份进入国内，当时是第二代Sportage。不过很快，在2007年，东风悦达起亚将第二代中期改款的Sportage国产，并且起名狮跑。从这一代开始，狮跑就像是开了挂一般，不管是国内还是国外，销量都非常好。（第二代Sportage前期版本）（第二代Sportage后期版本，即狮跑）从2005年到2010年，连续六年销量超过了10万辆。到2016年，全球共售出1,223,776台，其中在韩国本土售出209,746台（2004-2010），在海外售出527,783台（2004-2010）。（第二代Sportage后期版本，即狮跑）狮跑的销量能这么好，有一半也是归功于现代途胜的功劳，因为当时现代和起亚刚刚合并不久，途胜和狮跑基本就是俩换壳车，所以狮跑能卖这么好，也是沾了现代途胜的光，属于躺赢。（现代第一代途胜）不过正是因为途胜和狮跑外形和内饰都过于相似，所以起亚将第三代Sportage的外形和途胜做出了很大的区分。到了2010年，第三代Sportage正式发布，并且没过几天便国产上市了。（第三代Sportage，即智跑）但是第三代Sportage取了一个全新的名字智跑，老款狮跑也一直在卖（2013年才停产），所以说新老同堂销售不仅德系，日系玩的溜，韩系也是老手。第三代Sportage相比于上一代，外观确实有了很大的变化，由彼得·希瑞尔设计，并且就是从那时起，起亚之后几年的家族式设计语言“Tiger Nose Grill”（虎啸式前脸）正式诞生。并且那代产品被誉为最好看的Sportage，还在全球拿了不少设计大奖。同时，据说这一代产品研发用时3年零7个月，在研发期间共投资2400亿韩元（折合12.24亿元人民币）。此外，第三代Sportage从2011年到2015年连续五年每年销售超过30万辆，2014年累计销量超过300万辆。应该说，直到这一代产品，起亚的SUV在中国市场上还是有一席之地的。（第三代Sportage，即智跑）来到2015年，第四代Sportage推出，2016年3月国产上市。但奇怪的是，这次东风悦达起亚再一次取了一个全新的名字，这次的命名跟之前狮跑，智跑没有任何联系，而是全新的英文数字组合KX5。（第四代Sportage，即KX5）到这里对于Sportage的取名我就看不懂了，为什么不再取一个X跑的名字，非要取一个KX5？难道是因为K5太火，想蹭K5的名气，让消费者知道这车和K5同级别，所以取名KX5的吗？还是说某个领导有强迫症，一定要轿车用K系列，SUV用KX系列，这样看起来工整一些？（第四代Sportage，即KX5）也正是从这一代开始，Sportage车型的销量便走上了下坡路。当然，也有人觉得2016年上市的KX5运气非常不好，这一年还发生了一起让中国人愤怒的韩国SD事件，不仅是起亚，几乎所有在中国的韩国品牌，几乎都从这一年开始走向了下坡路。（第四代Sportage，即KX5）更奇葩的是，到了2018年东风悦达起亚又上市了一款车“新智跑”，很多人就纳闷了，不是已经有KX5了吗？怎么又来了个“新智跑”？仔细一看才发现，这个新智跑定位比KX5要低一档，KX5主售1.6T版本，售价区间在17-19万，这个新智跑主售2.0L版本，售价区间在14-16万。（2018款新智跑）这就造成了一个非常尴尬的场面，跟海外Sportage同款的KX5，尾标没有Sportage字样，反倒是与海外Sportage完全不是同一款车的新智跑，尾标贴着大大的Sportage字样。所以，别说普通消费者，就是我们职业汽车媒体都没搞懂，起亚的领导到底想表达什么意思？命名毫无逻辑可言。（新智跑）之后便到了2022年，也就是今天要聊的第五代Sportage，莫名其妙的又起了一个新名字“狮铂拓界”，拍板这个名字的名字应该比较接地气，不用过脑子想什么高级词汇，直接用Sportage英文的读音，音译过来就行。（狮铂拓界）也有可能，他是参考了隔壁现代帕里斯帝的命名原理，可是对于国人来说，这两个名字实在是太难记了。如果不是真爱，没人会真正记住这个名字。不过狮铂拓界这款车，是真正的Sportage，和海外的Sportage同步发售，所以它的尾标肯定是Sportage。（第四代Sportage，即KX5）但是同样挂着Sportage尾标的智跑还依然在买，KX5也还在卖，所以这个关系真的错综复杂。以上我的介绍，大家应该都听明白了吧，所以不要图便宜，一定要擦亮眼睛。大家都知道，现代起亚是一家公司，隔壁的亲兄弟现代途胜和ix35其实也是类似情况。途胜和ix35在海外都是同一款车型Tucson（中文名途胜）。（第一代Tucson，即途胜）到了2010年，现代将第二代Tucson改名为ix35，老款途胜继续卖，两代同堂销售。（第二代Tucson，即ix35）到了2015年，第三代Tucson引入国内，变成了国内的第二代途胜。但是ix35却一直没有换代。直到2018年的第二代ix35，看似是换代了，但还一直在沿用之前第二代Tucson的底盘。从发动机就能看出来，一直是多年未变的2.0L+6AT。也就是从2018年开始，ix35变成了中国特供车，并且车型定位降到比途胜更低了。所以要想买到正宗的Tucson，应该选途胜而不是ix35。（第五代Tucson，即途胜L）要我说，当初智跑就不应该改名叫KX5。名字一换，很多人就以为之前狮跑、智跑产品停产了，断代了。就像家门口开了多年的返点，突然改了名字，就算厨师没换，我都觉得之前的老板跑路了，新店又得重新积累口碑，积累人气。毕竟狮跑智跑这个名字早已经深入人心，客户会觉得突然冒出来的KX5是全新车型，既没名气也没口碑，还没有老款智跑有群众基础，有溢价能力，所以凭什么卖的比老款智跑还要贵？（第四代Sportage，即KX5）之后上市新智跑越卖越便宜，也是一招臭棋，非但没有提升品牌力，反而把这个系列的档次拉低了一个档次。这也导致后期全系列产品与日系，德系都无法正面竞争。后期推出的X跑车型，比如傲跑、奕跑，也是一个比一个级别低，价格也更便宜。所以大家对起亚Sportage这个系列就越来越不看好，起亚SUV的销量也越来越差，如果不是图便宜，没人会去看起亚的SUV。今年1-7月份，KX5只卖出了732台，平均一个月才100台。相应的，它的轿车、MPV也都卖不出去，变成了一个恶性循环。（起亚傲跑）大家可以猜猜起亚目前卖得最好的是什么车？福瑞迪，最近半年1万台左右，1.6L+6AT的自动风尚版，现在只要7万多。其次是智跑，14.48万的挑战版，2.0L+6AT，现在只要11万左右，最近半年卖了9400多台。但是你看海外，2020年全球市场共售出366,929辆Sportage，位居起亚所有车型之首。且截至2020年底，Sportage全球累计销量突破600万台。可以说起亚在海外的销量与咱们国内的销量，一个天一个地，Sportage和Tucson这两款兄弟车型在中国卖得不好，有一大半的原因是因为上车系混乱不堪，毫无逻辑可言。当然，也和韩系车整体走下坡路也有很大关系。（起亚福瑞迪）狮铂拓界性价比到底高不高？先来说说狮铂拓界都有哪些亮点。其实第五代Sportage也就是狮铂拓界，在全球有标轴和长轴两个版本。欧洲市场是标轴，亚洲，美洲市场都是长轴。自然到了中国，肯定全都是长轴版。并且国产版都标配X-Line外观套件。狮铂拓界也是自东风退出后，悦达+起亚自己推出的首款车型，所以你在尾标上也会看到只有悦达起亚这四个字，不再有东风二字，对于车主来说是好事，因为扣标可以少扣两字了，以前扣标要扣6个字，真麻烦。外观上我们就不多说了，仁者见仁智者见智。新车长宽高分别为4670/1865/1680毫米，轴距为2755毫米（海外标轴2680mm）。不过，这个尺寸与大众途观L（4733/1839/1673/2791，轴距2791mm）相比，不管是长度还是轴距都要小一点。内饰上，全系标配12.3英寸的曲面双联屏，搭载Kia connect系统，UI界面有点新能源汽车的范儿。同时，新车还标配前方防撞辅助、车道跟随辅助、车道保持辅助、智能限速辅助、驾驶员疲劳提醒等在内的10项智能驾驶辅助功能。高配车型带有基于导航的智能巡航控制、后方交叉防撞辅助、安全下车提醒、后排乘客遗忘提醒、多重防撞辅助制动系统和360度全景影像等。可以说，在主被动安全方面，算是挺有竞争力了，如果在意这方面配置的用户，的确可以参考这款车型。动力上，狮铂拓界有燃油版和混动版两种，燃油版有两种1.5T涡轮增压四缸发动机版本，最大功率147kW（200PS），最大扭矩253N·m。以及2.0T涡轮增压四缸发动机版本，最大功率173.6kW（236PS），最大扭矩353N·m，变速箱全系标配8AT。很多客户都在吐槽日系1.5T+CVT动力不好，变速箱不行。那现在韩系有2.0T，也有1.5T，而且都是8AT变速箱，你会不会放弃日系投奔韩系？我觉得大概率不会，挑货才是买货人，大部分骂日系CVT不好的，其实都是想买的。他们只是希望日系配AT变速箱，但即使是CVT也能接受。而韩系无论配双离合、CVT还是8AT，在客户看来这都不是决定买不买的关键因素。至于混动版，大家首先要明白，狮铂拓界HEV版的混动车型是上蓝牌的，不是插混，没有绿牌和免购置税的待遇。而这套混动系统是现代和起亚共同研发的TMED混合动力系统，是由一台2.0L自然吸气发动机、1台驱动电机、锂离子电池、HSG (启动发电一体式电机）、一体式控制器和6挡手自一体变速箱组成。发动机最大功率110kW，最大扭矩186N·m，驱动电机最大功率44kW，最大扭矩264N·m，整车系统综合最大功率为147kW，最大扭矩为350N·m。HSG实现发动机的启停及怠速充电，混动车变速器与传统车基本相同。动力电池是能量储存单元，用来存储来自驱动电机与HSG的能量，或者为驱动电机与HSG提供能量用于驱动车辆及启动发动机。但是从6AT就能看出来，TMED只是一套P2架构的混动系统，在P1功能的基础上增加了独立电驱的功能。同时，驱动电机取代了AT变速箱中的液力变矩器，所以技术含量并不高，很多德系PHEV基本都是这种类型。什么时候用电机、什么时候用发动机都是由控制器自行判断和选择。因此这套混动系统和比亚迪、长城、吉利、丰田这种第一梯队的混动系统相比，科技含量很低，在原有的油车上改动幅度也很小。不过优点也很明显，科技含量低，厂家投入的成本低，所以价格也会低一些，同时维护保养费用也不高。缺点就一句话“有电一条龙，没电毛毛虫”，这种混动车型就得长期充电后驾驶，否则馈电驾驶，等同于开着燃油车背着没用的一套混动系统在路上跑。不过，虽然和比亚迪、丰田不能比，但是和同样都是P2架构混动的欧美车企比，确实算还不错的，TMED动力总成曾获得过“沃德十佳”，而且国内的街上很多网约车用的都是上一代的K5混动。并且从2011到2016五年的时间，索纳塔混动版在美国一共售出了超过10万量。在2016年的沃德十佳发动机年度榜单评选中，第九代索纳塔混动所搭载的2.0L发动机和50kW电动机的插电混动组榜上有名，荣获全球十佳。当然，说这些对于消费者来讲感知度并不高。一句话就能总结，看上比亚迪宋Pro和宋Plus DM-i的客户，根本不会考虑狮铂拓界这款车。在隔音方面，狮铂拓界要比丰田、本田更下血本，前排用的是双层夹胶玻璃，并且配备的轮胎规格，也是走静音取向，因此NVH表现可能会更好一些。大家可以在4s店试驾的时候自己感受一下。网上也有不少媒体经过实测，狮铂拓界HEV的综合油耗和官标的差不多，在5.6升每百公里左右，对于1.6吨多的狮铂拓界来说，也还算可以，但前提是必须有电的情况下驾驶。狮铂拓界的售价真的飘了吗？和竞品又该怎么选？之所以网友说狮铂拓界飘了也是情有可原的，因为上一代产品KX5定价也才16.28-19.18万。而且目前KX5的优惠都在3.5万左右，最低配优惠完裸车13万不到，落地也就14万不到。而狮铂拓界一下子去到了17.98万-23.78万，刚开始肯定没有多少优惠，所以新款等于比老款贵了快6万，你说网友能不说它售价飘了吗？同时对比国产车，这个价格也明显是高了不少，尺寸配置还没它们高。比如和吉利星越L比，整车尺寸小了一圈，配置也没星越L高，混动版技术也比星越L雷神落后很多。更关键是现在韩系车的品牌力，现如今我觉得和国产都没办法比。所以有狮铂拓界这个预算，我宁愿买国产车也不会买它。和同级合资对手比，不管是尺寸还是配置，狮铂拓界只能说最多和它们打个平手。即便动力更强，内饰是双联屏，依然不会有太多人买账。因为买CR-V和荣放的车主里有几个是看中动力和内饰的？真要图这两样早就买国产车了，也绝不会买日系，更轮不到韩系。况且现在这个时间点，又正好是CR-V换代，难不成起亚真的一位自己的产品跟CR-V可以硬刚？再看看隔壁的德系，雷打不动的一大批客户，无论大众出什么负面新闻，人家都直奔途观L和探岳，就因为VW的LOGO。所以即便和同级合资竞品对比，我相信大部分人宁愿多花几万买CR-V和荣放，途观L和探岳，也不愿意买狮铂拓界的。别忘了旁边还有价格大跳水的美系SUV，昂科威、昂科威Plus、昂科威S，尺寸更大，配置更高，动力也更强，价格看起来也更美丽。所以怎么对比来看，狮铂拓界的性价比都不高，网友说除非优惠5万才会考虑，也不全是玩笑话。我觉得这款车，后期优惠破3万的可能性很大，优惠到5万可能稍显夸张了一些。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

※ 投稿邮箱：418150505@qq.com※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前30分钟聊奇瑞艾瑞泽8，后半部分聊五步成事法则。今天这期咱们聊聊前不久刚上市的艾瑞泽8。说实话，艾瑞泽这个系列我们已经很久很久都没聊过了。不是因为我不喜欢艾瑞泽系列车型，而是这几年我感觉艾瑞泽系列似乎连奇瑞自己都快放弃了。艾瑞泽8的上一代车型应该算是艾瑞泽7，艾瑞泽7卖得非常惨，2013年上市2017年就退市了，几乎没有刷出存在感。而现如今艾瑞泽8上市，我又感觉它来得太晚了。这车定位是A+级，给客户传递的信息就是用买速腾、朗逸、卡罗拉、雷凌的钱，可以买到空间更大，配置更高的国产精品车型。大家想想，这件事早在几年前吉利不就做过了吗？没错，就是吉利星瑞，当时一上市就对标大众速腾。那么奇瑞为何不在星瑞上市的那年一起发布呢？现在愿意买国产车型的消费者越来越多，跟着吉利宣传星瑞的那阵风，奇瑞用艾瑞泽8一起把蛋糕做大，这不是双赢的事吗？结果转眼到了2022年，现如今再上市艾瑞泽8就会面临两大问题。一是新能源车越来越被大众所接受，看看9月份的轿车销量排行榜，前10名里面比亚迪就占了3个，分别是秦（第二）、汉（第五）、海豚（第八），而吉利星瑞排名第34，销量9487台。另一方面，也正是国产新能源崛起，导致合资车型为保销量开始大降价，丰田雷凌能优惠到3万出头，卡罗拉也有2万多，速腾、朗逸、宝来也都能优惠2-3万，甚至更多。在这种大背景下，很多人就会思考一个问题，A+级真的有必要吗？也就比速腾、卡罗拉略大一点，配置略高一点而已，可是这车标...这品质...这保值率...真的能跟合资车比吗？但凡起心动念，我相信大部分最终还是买了合资车。买吉利星瑞也好，艾瑞泽8也罢，很多客户更多是一时上头，就刷卡把车提了，看得越久购买的成功率就越低。奇瑞在紧凑级车型里一共有5款车，32个配置，分别是艾瑞泽5、艾瑞泽5PLUS、艾瑞泽GX、艾瑞泽5GT和艾瑞泽8。艾瑞泽5 GT和艾瑞泽8是前不久刚上市的新车，艾瑞泽5GT定价9.99-10.89万，艾瑞泽8定价10.89-13.29万，两车的价格无缝衔接。今天咱们聊艾瑞泽8的同时，也顺带聊聊艾瑞泽5GT和艾瑞泽5系列该怎么选？以及艾瑞泽8这款车到底有哪些优缺点？哪个配置更值得推荐？新款艾瑞泽8有哪些亮点，和老款有什么不同？新款艾瑞泽8是奇瑞4.0平台下的旗舰轿车产品，长宽高分别为4780/1843/1469毫米，轴距为2790毫米。这个尺寸确实很大，和传统的合资竞品比，没一个比它大的，也就速腾的长度比艾瑞泽8长了11毫米，但是轴距短了59毫米。其余的轩逸、卡罗拉就更不说了，一个2712毫米，一个2700毫米，朗逸的轴距连2700毫米都没有。不过和同时国产的吉利星瑞比，艾瑞泽8的轴距要稍微短一点点，但差距也只有了很小的10毫米。外观上，新的艾瑞泽8的和之前的艾瑞泽系列完全不同，说是用了“Art in motion”设计语言，相比老款比较圆润的造型，艾瑞泽8的整体造型很平直，给人四平八稳的感觉。而且不管是图片还是实车，艾瑞泽8敦实的造型看起来也很显大，乍一看，不知道的真有可能以为是B级轿车。内饰上，艾瑞泽8也有了很大的变化。要说最大的亮点肯定有两个，一个是24.6英寸双联屏，这块大屏也出现在欧萌达和瑞虎8 PRO上，不过这块屏只有顶配和次顶配才有（顶配不推荐）。这块双连屏内置了LION5.0系统，能提供5种人性化智能页面，且提供智能语音互动、无线Hicar&Carplay手机互联、手机APP远程车控功能、多场景关怀、AI情感交互等功能。车机里还有AI智教功能，支持8000种科大讯飞听播资源，全部免费使用。不过虽然是双联屏，但是双联屏和双联屏还是有区别的。你只要稍微仔细看就能看到，其实艾瑞泽8的这个双联屏的边框非常粗，而且仪表和中控屏的距离也很宽，跟传统印象中的双联屏还是有很大的差距。（很多模仿奔驰的地方，而且低配是10.25+10.25）所以网上不少网友在喷它。但是再怎么说这也得理智看待，虽然它的边框确实有点大了，但起码还是给你配了那么大的屏幕，就10多万的刚需代步车，你的要求确实不能太高，有总比没有好吧？其实我觉得更应该吐槽的是车机ui实在是不高级，就像是工厂里设备的操作屏幕。另一个亮点估计就是配色了。想这个级别的车，基本清一色的都是黑色的内饰，最多再给你配个撞色的缝线就已经不错了。但是最近一年的国产车在内饰的配色上就玩得越来越溜了。从吉利星瑞到长安CS75PLUS，再到艾瑞泽8，都有浅色的内饰。就比如艾瑞泽8上的蓝色配米色就还挺好看的，而且还用上了菱形格纹，看上去确实像那么回事。在动力上总成，艾瑞泽8全系都采用了1.6T的鲲鹏发动机和7档湿式双离合变速箱-格特拉克第三代，最大马力197匹，最大扭矩290牛米，也就是瑞虎8和8PLUS上的那套动力总成，所以相比之前老一代的1.5T+CVT，新的动力总成不管是性能还是稳定性也都没话说，在瑞虎8上也已经得到了验证。除了动力系统的大改变，在底盘方面艾瑞泽8也有了升级。比如之前的艾瑞泽的后悬挂都是清一色的扭力梁非独立悬挂，而艾瑞泽8就变成了多连杆独立悬挂，虽然这是大趋势，但是也能看出奇瑞内部对艾瑞泽8的重视。所以总结来说，艾瑞泽8相比老款都有了很大的提升。不过新款艾瑞泽8虽然车型是新的，但是动力和底盘基本和上市很久的瑞虎8PLUS很像，所以你可以把艾瑞泽8看成是瑞虎8PLUS的轿车版，连车型的数字也一样，都是8。艾瑞泽一共有多少款车型，该怎么选？说起奇瑞艾瑞泽，你即便到具体到哪个车型也不知道你说的是哪个配置，光现在在售的艾瑞泽就有32个配置，其中包括5、PLUS、5 GT、8，还有GX。其中艾瑞泽5、5 PLUS、 GX基本都属于上一代。光看动力就能看出来，艾瑞泽5、5 PLUS和GX都用的是1.5L、1.6L、1.5T搭配手动或CVT。而艾瑞泽5 GT和艾瑞泽8是新产品，尤其是艾瑞泽8，从里到外都是新的。而艾瑞泽5 GT则并不是真正意义上的新产品，相反，它更像是过渡产品，底盘、车身都是艾瑞泽5 PLUS的，因为后悬挂也是非独立的扭力梁。但是动力总成却是最新的1.6T+7速湿式双离合。所以我猜测奇瑞可能会相继停产艾瑞泽GX、艾瑞泽5和5 PLUS等车型，不过也得等到把库存都消化完，然后只留下艾瑞泽5 GT和艾瑞泽8，一个主打运动+性价比，一个肩负重任的全新产品。因此艾瑞泽怎么选就很明确了，结合自己的预算，直接选艾瑞泽5 GT和8就行。如果说这两台车你买起来都吃力，那就选5 PLUS吧。艾瑞泽8哪个配置值得买？目前艾瑞泽8一共推出了5款配置，10.89万的最低配可以说完全就是为了价格上的好看，座椅是手动调节，后排也没有杯架和出风口，没有定速巡航，导航，车联网，轮毂还是16寸小脚。虽然有双联屏，但是只是10.25英寸的，这个配置确实太低了，并不推荐购买。再往上，11.29万的尚和11.99万的逸才算得上是能买的配置。而且从价格上来看，厂家也是在引导你去买这两个配置，尤其11.29万的尚只比最低配贵了4000元，但是多了225毫米宽度的18英寸圈胎、倒车影像、定速巡航、远程启动、主驾驶电动调节座椅、后排杯架、高德导航、语音识别、车联网、6个扬声器、车内氛围灯、车窗一键升降、自动空调等。所以这个配置应该才算是建议购买的最低配。而我最推荐的配置肯定是中配的逸，像360全景影像、L2级驾驶辅助、座椅加热、自适应远近光等等，这些配置都有，11.99万的定价我觉得还算合理，连最低配的四缸卡罗拉售价都超过了12万，所以艾瑞泽8的这个定价其实并不算贵。但是，据我跟一线销售沟通下来，发现真正客户买得多的配置竟然是次顶配。毕竟从次顶配“雅”开始才是双12.3英寸联屏，还多了蓝牙钥匙，换挡拨片，手机无线充电，主驾驶腰部支撑，通风，记忆，sony音响8个喇叭，感应雨刷，后视镜记忆。12.59万，落地13.3万上下，比星瑞的尊贵便宜了5000元左右，这还是目前没什么优惠。但是顶配“臻”就不怎么推荐了，虽然只比次顶配贵了7000元。但是多出的配置都可有可无，比如手势控制，面部识别，AR实景导航，车内香氛，内置行车记录仪。当然，也有些配置有的客户还是需要的，比如副驾驶电动调节，倒车车侧预警，前雷达，开门预警，疲劳提醒，并线辅助，膝部气囊，后排侧气囊。增加的这些配置肯定值7000元，只是看个人预算而已。艾瑞泽8和吉利星瑞怎么选？在这个级别这个价位，要说艾瑞泽8最直接的对手是谁，那一定是吉利星瑞。尺寸上，艾瑞泽8和星瑞差距都在伯仲之间，轴距只差10毫米，长度更是只差5毫米。两车的动力也很接近，虽然吉利星瑞是2.0T，奇瑞艾瑞泽8只是1.6T，但是艾瑞泽8最大马力竟然还稍高一点，达到了197匹，星瑞190匹，不过星瑞是2.0T发动机，扭矩更大，能达到300牛米，而艾瑞泽8是290牛米。而且最大扭矩爆发的转速也要比艾瑞泽8低600转，星瑞最大扭矩转速在1400-400转之间，艾瑞泽8在2000-4000转之间。理论上讲，从静止到提速，星瑞会比艾瑞泽8感觉更得劲一些，不过这些只是纯纸上谈兵，这两台车真试驾之后，相信大部分人开不出动力上的差别，因为这两台车的动力参数，都是吊打合资车。但是，即便是论配置，相同价格星瑞的配置也并没有艾瑞8高。比如12.59万的艾瑞泽8次顶配“雅”和12.57万的星瑞豪华版，艾瑞泽8有全套的L2级驾驶辅助、12.3英寸双联屏，360全景影像、感应后备箱、全液晶仪表、前排座椅加热通风、自适应远光、氛围灯、SONY音响等等。不过，吉利星瑞有来自沃尔沃的2.0T T4的发动机，CMA架构，这些还是有客户愿意买单的。其实在我看来，艾瑞泽8与吉利星瑞都属于11-13万价格区间可以入手的国产A+级轿车，两台车的性价比都在伯仲之间，但是各自透露出的气质还是有些大相径庭。艾瑞泽8更像是从小山村来到大城市打拼成白领的成功人士，而吉利博瑞则像是从沿海城市毕业去欧洲镀金归来的海龟。如果这俩人都来我公司面试，我可能只看他们的能力谁更能胜任岗位，而不太会在乎他们的背景。不过日常接触中，很多细节都能看出两人会有很大的差别。我相信，大多数客户也不会因为几千，一万的差价，就选择放弃吉利星瑞投奔艾瑞泽8，可能一开始就想好了买哪台，只是按照常规再对比一下而已吧。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号： 百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

11月一定是跑者的狂欢节。随着北马的官宣举办，2022年的马拉松赛季似乎才真正拉开了大幕，有盼头的训练是不是有所不同呢？一起来听听。陈雪的第七周状态趋于稳定，有氧能力明显提高本周陈大夫因为工作原因临时放了鸽子，具体的训练内容教练直接点评。教练点评：陈雪总体课表跑的很到位，马配也跑的很到位，如果现在立刻马上有比赛，应该状态就已经有了。并且，连续两周都给自己加了T跑的量，都跑的很稳。周中马配按407跑的，如果想破三，可能要比目前跑的407马配再慢一点，这样破三更稳妥。陈雪的有氧能力在最近这几周有了明显提高。李雪的第七周稳定“叠加”执行课表，有氧能力需再加强李雪本周也因为工作原因缺席，但课表也没有落下执行，且听教练点评。教练点评：李雪最近工作忙，所以会把散的课表揉在一起跑。虽然强度都跑了，但E跑都一天跑完了，可能会存在有氧基础没打牢靠的情况。建议有条件还是尽量按天完成课表。不论如何，还是需要注重有氧基础的训练，E跑需要重视。长时间的E跑一定要跑到位。仙儿的第六周总体感觉轻松了本周T跑会感觉比之前轻松了一些，M跑自己把马配的速度提了一些，感觉还挺轻松。想问问教练还有提高空间吗？教练点评：努力终会达成所愿。但是马配可以稍微再慢一点点。在跑马配的时候大家可以稍微提提速，再评估一下自己体感，并且参考这个训练再定自己的比赛时的配速。下周课表将会是T跑、I跑和R跑结合，强度继续维持，初级跑者李雪的课表中加入2个小时的E跑，进一步提升长距离有氧能力。答疑1、新的课表是按11月6日全马比赛排的，要是11月6号没比赛跑还是按这个课表训练吗？或者会有调整？回答：我们会统计一下大家的参赛计划，教练会根据每个人的情况再做一些相应的调整。2、对于没有全马经验的同学来说，想请教下教练，比赛当日我们是否有必要在手表上把比赛的42公里按节奏设置好，这样跑起来更加有信心一些。比如建议前面多少公里按比马配低多少秒的配速跑，中途按马配跑，后面的多少公里按高于马配多少秒的配速跑，以及确定自己马配速度有什么建议嘛？回答：首先要大概了解自己的能力边界，其次一定不能过于兴奋然后早早跑崩。其他的内容如下梁老师策略：5公里一校准，根据比赛公里牌（计时处）手动记圈，赛前算好自己每5K的用时，然后根据实际情况校准。雪飞老师策略：前3K配速略低于目标马配，3K往后到十几K都用马配跑，后面十几二十K略高于马配1~2s把落后的时间追回来。3、最近换季我看好多人都感冒了，大佬们有没有什么预防感冒小妙招分享，吃的睡的用的？回答：多喝热水（略渣男……）。好好休息，谨慎穿衣，预防感冒。最好的预防措施：远离感冒人群，戴口罩。感觉自己有点不舒服的时候赶紧预防，最主要的就是好好休息好好睡觉。4、请问教练，间歇训练输出时，无外乎加大步幅或者提高步频，那么如何判定哪种方式更合适自己呢？比如看跑中的呼吸，跑后的疲劳程度等？回答：重要的是要找到适合自己的间歇节奏。在一次间歇训练里，可以分别采用加大步幅或是提高步频两种方式尝试，挑选一种相对来说自己舒适一些的方式去完成间歇训练，日后的间歇就按照这种方式去坚持即可。因为具体哪种更适合自己，真的是因人而异。5、请问教练正式全马比赛如遇雨战，有没有什么实用tip经验教训分享。回答：如果开始就雨很大，建议就直接放了吧，为了比赛而生病，得不偿失。当然如果是比赛中遭遇下雨，就按既定节奏完成即可。梁老师提示可以准备个手套，作用明显。6、请问教练我跑到目标配速心率也上不去，我按手表的配速顶着跑心率也上不去，是不是需要重新设置手表(但手表数据都在涨)？还有就是我现在的跑量基本就跟着课表走的，月跑量比我前面几个月少很多，但是感觉更累了，是不是力量不行。。。还有一个问大家的问题，大家冬天洗冷水澡吗�回答：先回答冷水澡问题，一般不……然后说心率和疲劳的问题，现在觉得累可能主要还是上了强度，之前没有参加PB计划的时候，E跑居多，更随心所欲一些不会太累，但是PB计划课表每周的强度课还是有效果跟作用的，如果觉得累，可以适当的放一些E跑，或者E跑后的R跑也可以放弃，休息也是很重要的训练哦。7、最后还邀请教练分享了一些全马“临时抱佛脚”的tips，希望大家……不要用到……毕竟还是应该好好训练再跑全马。下面将第七周的课表分享给大家。ABC组课表：周一：E+R或E周二：150分钟E周四：E+R或E周五：4E+2*4.8T休3分钟+1.6T+1.6E周日：E+R或E（E+R或E虽然没有规定时间距离，但是记得跑）D组课表：周二：3E+6*3分钟I休2分钟+0.8E周四：12E周五：3E+4*5分钟T休1分钟+0.8E周日：120分钟E注意：课表的日期不是固定的，强度课根据自己的实际情况安排在哪天都可以，只要两次强度课间隔2-3天的E跑就可以。1、T跑课表前的E跑最后400米要跑到T配速，跑完E要休息最多10分钟。2、E跑课表三种跑法见上文的三种方式自行选择（压上限、压中间、从下限跑到上限）=======================微博 / 小程序 / 服务号 / 小红书：@跑者日历公众号： 跑者日历RUN365 各音频及播客平台：跑者日历=======================听节目的同时，也欢迎大家进入我们的听众群一起交流。您可以通过添加客服微信号：run365cs ，拉你入群。期待你的加入，一起听，一起跑。PB计划合作伙伴高驰（COROS） 和 安德玛（UNDER ARMOUR ）对PB计划第二季的大力支持！

PB计划第三集来啦！开始训练已经三周了，本周学员们又遇到了什么新困难？线上学员又有哪些新问题想要和教练交流？陈雪的第三周掌握了R跑的跑法，跑了轻松的E配速但没想到效率不高本周课表得R跑目前已经可以凭借感觉很好的控速，有点得心应手的意思了；E配速的80分钟跑的很轻松，但跟教练交流了一下，其实长距离为了能够让效果最大化，压着E区上限跑训练效果会更好；对于第二天早上要跑的5个T配速课表有些犯怵（但事实证明其实跑的特别好）。看了一眼下周的课表，感觉要好几天睡不着觉。教练点评：首先陈雪的R跑掌握的已经很自如了。说回E跑，课表中的长距离E配速跑其实可以有三种跑法，第一种是从E区的最低配速一直跑到E区的最高配速，第二种是一直维持在E区的中间配速跑，第三种是压着E区的上线跑。以上三种有氧效果是依次递增的，但是恢复时间会依次变长，大家可以根据自己的实际情况进行调整，选择一种最适合自己的跑法。关于T配速跑大家的疑问是为什么每个T跑之间的休息时间只有一分钟，教练也给出了解释：休息时间短是为了在乳酸还没有完全清除的情况下继续刺激身体，迫使身体适应并提高清除乳酸的能力。真正在马松比赛的时候，你不会去按照这个阈值配速去跑，肯定会比它要低，那你掌握这个配速的时候，你就游刃有余了，而且身体乳酸的清除能力会很强。仙儿的第三周慢慢学习控制速度，E+R跑中间没有休息跑的也还行生理期后恢复跑步，整体基本掌握了自身能力下E、T、I的配速是什么样的感觉，也按照教练说的方式去训练，每次课表跑完有训练效果的数值都还不错。教练点评：最努力的学员没有之一。整体能力是在直线上升的，关于R跑的问题大家可以注意一下，速度不用一下提起来，可以慢慢提速到R配速，先慢后快是可以的。关于E+T或者E+I课表的休息问题也很多学员在问，在质量课中，E跑结束后，和R跑或者I跑开始前应该适当加入休息，等待身体恢复到正常体感再投入到T跑或者I跑效果更佳，具体休息几分钟因人而异。另外，如果希望T跑更快进入状态，可以在E跑的最后400米提速到T配速，提前找找速度的感觉，能更好的完成课表。李雪的第三周按计划完成课表，但需要教练重视！出了小意外……本周课表依然是按照计划执行，但感觉教练没看见诶。正常来说，教练安排的课表如果是跑5公里，就跑6公里，因为日常跑步的一圈正好是3公里，所以加练了一些，体感很好。但前一天为了躲电动车膝盖扭伤了，需要休息一下再重新开练。同时想问问教练，最近两周跑的配速都很慢，不会未来跑速度不会跑了吧？教练点评：首先，不会跑不快的，一是到目前为止才跑了两周多，未来的课表加入了R，会提高速度能力的。其次，受伤了就建议将休息合二为一，不要硬练了，课表可以往后挪，什么时候有时间什么时候练，作为业余跑者，灵活性还是要有的。答疑1、本周很多跑友强度上来了，希望能有目的地介绍讨论拉伸/恢复/修养分配。避免负荷过大影响后续训练计划回答：用泡沫轴或者自己拉伸，泡沫轴要根据个人的受力情况选择不同类型的泡沫轴，如果泡沫轴还不能放送到位的话，找个人帮忙踩踩也可以。关于拉伸动作和泡沫滚轴的放松动作，其实可以从B站、keep等平台自行搜索练习。需要注意的是，首先拉伸要把腿部肌肉、腰等部位全面拉伸；其次，良好的睡眠对于一次高质量的训练也是非常重要的。2、Interval训练的时候容易局部出现大腿根部和臀部肌肉用力过度， 也是部分动作变形的表现，这是什么原因呢？或者I跑要跑到什么样的体感才算是合格？回答：这种情况多半会出现在很少做速度训练的跑者身上，就像你好久不爬山忽然爬一次山臀腿都会有酸痛感，很多肌肉用不到被调动起来了，并且也是有一定强度的；跑R配速的时候，在维持正常跑姿的情况下尽量快一些就可以啦。3、在别的跑步强度分级制里，也有很熟知的Tempo节奏跑一说，缩写同Threshold都是T。这个和我们目前课表里的排序是否有区别？回答：Tempo节奏跑相当于咱们课表里的M跑也就是马拉松配速跑。不同理论体系规定的各种训练名称不一样，其实都大同小异。4、感觉自己滚完第二天跑的时候小腿后侧还是很紧，是拉伸不到位吗，还是正常现象？而且拉伸的时候感觉没有用上劲，没有听说的那么疼，正确的姿势是什么样子呢？回答：泡沫滚轴其实是帮助你恢复，但真正恢复的能力其实是看个体的，每个人的恢复能力都是不同的，头天拉伸或者滚了泡沫轴第二天还觉得紧，那就继续滚、继续拉伸就好了。另外，再画个重点，放松、拉伸一定要走全套，不要只针对一个部位，那样是不行的。5、现在有氧能力需要提高，因为跑步后小腿会痛跑完课表之外还可以做做划船机蹬蹬自行车么？该怎么安排训练时长之类的比较合适？回答：取决于你未来想要发展哪个能力，有氧还是无氧。如果现阶段要提高马拉松成绩，那还是建议多做有氧。6、计划比赛日穿竞技碳板跑，然后民间流传以及上一季PB计划的经验据说平日训练少穿竞技碳板，为了脚和鞋的磨合一周是不是穿一次找感觉？哪个训练穿比较好？回答：教练平时做强度训练的时候会选择复合板的跑鞋，轻松跑或者有氧跑就是普通跑鞋，比赛会上碳板鞋；平时不穿碳板比赛穿碳板其实是两方面，一是比赛时建立体感上的自信，毕竟碳板跑鞋推进力较一般跑鞋强很多，二是建立比赛时心理上的自信，日常训练穿普通跑鞋都能跑的速度，上了碳板鞋肯定能跑更快。赛前肯定是要有一定时间穿着碳板鞋去进行适应的，这个就看个人情况咯。7、左右侧力量不一致，早年得过轻微腰椎间盘突出，导致脊椎侧弯一直没恢复。跑步时，时常出现明显两边臀部发力、摆臂幅度不一致的情况，有什么针对性的改善方案？是否要少跑体育场？回答：在没有受伤的情况下说明力是平衡的，不需要刻意改变。速度课表可以去操场，平时跑步就尽量大平路，另外也可以不断改变运动方向，增强平衡。8、第一次练速度，目前只有两双慢跑鞋，是否有必要准备一双竞速训练鞋，不一定要碳板的那种？回答：如果平时训练场地是田径场可以选择薄底鞋，如果平时训练场是马路就挑一双缓震好一些的训练鞋，能帮助提高速度。下面将第二周的课表分享给大家。ABC组课表：周一：8E+6*200R跑休200周二：90分钟E周四：8E+6*200R跑休200周五：6E+5*1.6T休1分钟+1.6E周日：E轻松跑或休息D组课表：周二：6E+6*200R跑休200周四：45分钟E周五：6E+6*200R跑休200周日：60分钟E注意：课表的日期不是固定的，强度课根据自己的实际情况安排在哪天都可以，只要两次强度课间隔2-3天的E跑就可以。1、T跑课表前的E跑最后400米要跑到T配速，跑完E要休息最多10分钟。2、E跑课表三种跑法见上文的三种方式自行选择（压上限、压中间、从下限跑到上限）=======================微博 / 小程序 / 服务号 / 小红书：@跑者日历公众号： 跑者日历RUN365 各音频及播客平台：跑者日历=======================听节目的同时，也欢迎大家进入我们的听众群一起交流。您可以通过添加客服微信号：run365cs ，拉你入群。期待你的加入，一起听，一起跑。PB计划合作伙伴高驰（COROS） 和 安德玛（UNDER ARMOUR ）对PB计划第二季的大力支持！

※ 投稿邮箱：418150505@qq.com※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前30分钟聊新标致408，后面聊聊怎么对付小人。先来问你个问题，10万元左右的家用轿车，你们会怎么选？大家可以带着这个问题来听今天这期节目。正好在一年前，法系车雪铁龙凡尔赛C5X的上市引发了网上的热议。大家会发现，法系车有个很奇怪的现象，关心法系车的人不多，买的人也不多，但是在网上法系车从来没输过，死忠粉遍地都是。但凡谁说法系车不好，都会引来一群人的反驳，无外乎你不懂设计，不懂技术，没有品位，你爱买日系买日系，爱买德系买德系，不看法系就别哔哔。不过，很多法吹看到这次新款标致408上市后，估计也摇摇头无力反驳了吧。目前老款408有着将近4万的优惠，一个月也就卖1000台左右，几乎在市场上毫无存在感。新款408，预售价10.57-12.17万，看似官降，实际上也就是厂家降，还是经销商降的问题。不过价格看似还是很有诚意的，但为何新408还是被网友称作“老黄瓜刷绿漆？”这一期节目我们就来好好聊聊，为什么法吹也救不了新408，国内的新408和海外6月发售的408又有什么区别？以及这款车值不值得买 ，适合哪些人？新款国产408是什么来头？在新款东风标致408发布以前，有几张谍照就漏了出来，但是只有局部的样子。比如有一张车头的谍照，网友一看，新408的造型可以，用上了海外最新的设计语言，简直帅到爆，都很期待新的国产408。结果新的国产408一亮相，乍一看真的又新又帅，还不错。但是看了一分钟，总感觉这车怎么那么熟悉，尤其是车身侧面。这时候你肯定会默默打开汽车网站，翻看之前的国产408，结果一对比，你就傻眼了。这侧面除了前后尾灯，简直一模一样。好歹奥迪A4L在中期改款的时候还知道在车身侧面取消了一根线条，以此来区分新老款。而你408八年过去了，车侧的线条一根没多，也一根没少。再看新款国产408的内部代号为T93RR，T93是2014款408的代号，也是首次用上1.6T的408。而RR并不是劳斯莱斯的缩写，是改款的缩写，一个R代表改款一次，两个R说明改款了两次。一款车中期改款两次，这还真的是不多见。再看车身尺寸，你也会再次惊讶，新款408的长宽高和2020款一模一样，都是4750x1820x1488毫米，轴距2730毫米，也是1毫米不多不少。悬架系统也是，前麦弗逊，后扭力梁非独立悬挂。所以新款国产408就是两次改款后的2014款408，只是外观内饰用上了最新的设计，但是熟悉标致的人一眼就看出来，这其实就是4008的内饰，只是中控面板布局放在了中央出风口下方而已，算是套用过来的设计而已。关键是外观设计也只是断章取义，车头基本就是照搬海外的新308，车侧一点没变，还是8年前的样子，车尾也改的褒贬不一，所以408的给人的感觉就4个字，虎头蛇尾。不对，应该是狮头蛇尾。海外发布的新标志408和国产408有什么区别？后期会不会早国内上市？6月份，海外发布的全新408和国产的408简直不是一个时代的产物，虽然外表上普通人可能感觉差别不大，而且都是EMP2平台生产的，但是骨子里不是一个时代的产物，新车代号P54。其实海外标致408就是雪铁龙凡尔赛C5X的亲兄弟，因为标致和雪铁龙乃是一家人，所以雪铁龙在推出凡尔赛C5X之后，标致也势必要推出一款相似的产品。而且新车造型也和凡尔赛差不多，都是跨界车型，只不过标致的设计要比雪铁龙更加棱角分明。尤其是车尾的设计，三条竖状尾灯就叫“虎爪”设计了，再加上翘的小鸭尾，远看还的确有点运动轿跑的味道。再看尺寸，新车的车长宽高为4690/2790/1480mm，尤其是轴距2790mm，与凡尔赛C5X只差了几毫米。不过长度上却差了十几公分，这也是因为它俩的定位不同，目前标致走的是运动路线，雪铁龙走舒适家用路线。所以海外408比凡尔赛C5X更短小，开起来也会更灵活一些。就是不知道底盘调校会不会像508看齐，如果像508看齐，那海外408应该会是一款不错的车型，不过不知道用的是不是凡尔赛C5X的面条胎。不仅如此，凡尔赛C5X用的爱信8AT变速箱，国内新标致408还是6AT变速箱。大概率等国产408x上市，才能用上凡尔赛C5X的那套动力总成。所以，这次国内新标致408的上市，感觉就是匆匆忙忙，敷衍了事。这台车的定位，有点像轩逸经典，今后的408x就是新轩逸的感觉。其实，不管是国产的408，还是海外发布的408，他们都是中国特供。因为海外市场上就从来没有出现过408，上一次标致出现4开头的车型还是十几年前的407了。当时407还一度以进口的方式引进到国内，最早2004年就有了，售价28-39.8万，当年这个价格可是和BBA差不多。而且最贵的407卖到了49.8万，3.0L V6双门轿跑车，不得不说那个车是真的漂亮，即便以现在的眼光去看，它也依然很优雅，但是保有量真的太少了，估计很多粉丝见都没见到过。而且说句实在的，有谁会真的花50多万去买一台标致呢？同时，国产的408在2010年上市的时候就是中国特供，因为它骨子里就是个308，只不过拉个皮换个脸，再加长了而已。即便到今天，408骨子里用的还是8年前的东西。至于海外版的408，既然是凡尔赛C5X的兄弟车型，而凡尔赛是专为中国市场设计的，然后顺便再销往全球。所以这么看，说这两个408都是中国特供应该没人反驳。不过海外发布的新标致408目前并不是在神龙汽车的四川成都工厂生产，而是在欧洲自己的工厂生产。因此简单来说，海外408和雪铁龙C5X可以理解成神龙汽车的双车战略，就像丰田、本田一样，只不过他们还换了品牌。既然海外408和国产的凡尔赛是兄弟车型，那海外408迟早也会在国内上市。只是目前来看，可能标致看到雪铁龙C5X的销量这么惨淡，没有信心再将其国产，先把408拉个皮换个脸，再把价格调低来试试水，如果反响还不错，就把海外408再国产，顺便拉高品牌调性。正好标致在欧洲人的眼里的地位可是比大众还高，和奥迪是差不多的。就比如标致508SW，他们认为的竞争对手是奥迪A4 AVANT，而不是大众迈腾旅行，所以也让海外408在欧洲先试试水。因此标致这两步棋看似走得很奇怪，实则很小心。不过也有小到消息称海外的标致408可能明年会在国内上市，就在成都工厂，并取名408X，以此来区分两款车。国产东风标致408值得买吗？对手有哪些？目前东风标致新408已经开启了预售，目前一共三款车型，进取、追光和逐梦版，预售价分别为10.57、11.47和12.17万元。很多人看到这个售价，哇塞408都这么便宜了么？是不是就可以直接买了呢？仔细看你就会发现，虽然外观内饰变了，动力上依然沿用之前的1.6T+6AT，最大马力170匹，最大扭矩250牛米。而且配置上也依然很拉胯。比如全系没有L2级驾驶辅助、主动刹车、360全景影像、全景天窗，也没有座椅记忆，连后视镜倒车下翻这个基础功能都没有。其次，配置也是完美传承了老法系的精髓，很多配置只有顶配才有。比如真皮座椅、副驾驶座椅电动调节、座椅加热、自动大灯、自动防眩目内后视镜、自动雨刷，连后排杯架都只有顶配才有。而且最低配有倒车影像没有雷达。插个题外话，标致408用的是神龙汽车的EMP2平台，而这个平台是当初PSA和丰田合作的产物，所以新408这个低配有倒车影像没有倒车雷达的操作就很丰田。而且凡尔赛和海外408的双车战略不出意外，应该也是从丰田这儿取经来的。所以新标志408能买的就两个配置，中配和顶配。但是中配和顶配之间只差了7000块，你却多了并线辅助、真皮座椅、座椅加热、副驾驶电动座椅、自动大灯等配置，这明显不就是逼着让人去选顶配吗？所以看到最后，估计有一半多的人都会去买顶配的吧。因此这台A级车看似入门10.57万，实际上能看上眼的得要12.17万，你还会买吗？但是这个时候问题就来了，顶配预售12.17万，落地也要近14万了。所以也并不是很便宜，再看周围的同价位车型，一抓一大把。先看合资车，比如丰田卡罗拉，虽然长度比408少了十多厘米，但是轴距只少了30毫米，你说惊不惊讶？而且卡罗拉全系标配L2级驾驶辅助，也许外观内饰设计比不过408，可是在品牌力和保值率方面都是吊打408的存在。还有日产轩逸，中国卖得最多的车型，虽然只是1.6L，但是绝大多数消费者也绝对会买轩逸也不会买408。这时候法吹肯定会说408空间大，那再大能有咱们的吉利星瑞大？408长度比星瑞少了35毫米，宽度少了49毫米，轴距更是少了70毫米。而且星瑞全系2.0T发动机，新款上市后也在油箱里增加了防浪板，油箱异响的问题也没有了。此外还有大众朗逸、速腾和宝来三兄弟在这里，小帕萨特的造型再加大众标。这里还没算上别克威朗PRO 1.5T，福克斯换上四缸的版本，各位这么一比较，还觉得预售中的408香吗？其实，十年前法系车在国内也有过巅峰时期，新颖的设计，不俗的动力，有些客户一眼就相中了。但是，后来标致雪铁龙拉跨的品控，4s店槽糕的售后，寒了不少人的心。法系车用起来没问题，但是运气好一直不出问题，那真的是台不错的车。一旦出了问题，哪怕是个小问题，开去标致4s店，可能就得等很久。我曾经跟标致4s店的总经理聊过，他也吐槽了很久，明明发个配件当天就能弄好的问题，偏要等配件等一个多星期，客户不投诉都不和清理。老一批法系车主换车肯定越换越好，当初买408的客户还会推荐身边人买408吗？大概率，买东风标致新408的肯定是首次买标致的人，这部分客户至少还对合资车有些念想。但是，在新能源的大背景下，合资同级优惠又很大，我就更不知道这么个老黄瓜刷绿漆的408，到底谁会买回家。恐怕只有认定了非法系车、非408不买，和觉得408外观内饰好看的人才会买它吧。所以如果是你，你会落地14万买标致408吗？可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号： 百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

We are hearing shrieks of “Corporate Greed!” as inflation surges. But is it really Corporate Greed? Corporations are Price Gouging!  Really? Prices are up most everywhere: gas, food, labor. Inflation is now at 9.1%. I haven't seen it this high since I was in high school over 40 years ago. Some are calling this price gouging or corporate greed, but is it? Businesses are always seeking to maximize profit. That's what they do. That's their fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers. So why are prices up now? There is High Demand. $6T of freshly printed stimulus money is still flooding the market driving demand ($4T Trump, $2T Biden). People are returning to “normalcy” after the pandemic and traveling on vacation. There has been pent up demand for travel and leisure as people hunkered down during the pandemic. Plus, interest rates have been artificially low for decades driving further demand. At the same time there is Limited Supply.  The Supply Chain is still sputtering. There are shortages of goods and key parts required in manufacturing. There continues to be a worker shortage as workers make positive, strategic changes to their career plan. But still the labor participation rate is far too low. Then there are cases where there is a shockingly low amount of competition (spoiler alert: typically due to government regulations). Oh, and did we forget the massive government shutdowns of the economy which reduced production? We all know from Economics 101 that when demand is high and supply is low, then prices go up. So, are corporations actually greedy?  Or are they just responding to market conditions and incentives. Today is a great time to sell a home.  Demand is high and inventory is limited (albeit things have relaxed a bit in the last few months). In a market like this sellers can get top dollar when they sell their home.  If you were selling your home, would you take the highest bid for your home?  Does this make you greedy?  Or are you just responding to market conditions and incentives? Gasoline is over $6 per Gallon in California I normally don't pay much attention to gas prices since I drive an EV. But with so much complaining about gas prices I have started paying attention. Wow! Prices are high.  Really high.  Premium gas is often over $6.50 per gallon in my community. This must be those greedy oil companies price gouging, right?  After all, corporate profits for oil companies are at an all-time high. Let's break it down. There is high demand for gas.  We are coming out of the pandemic and there is pent up demand for travel. More people are commuting to work as companies ask employees to work in the office. Plus, it is summertime when prices always go up due to higher demand and the requirement here in California for the summer blend gasoline due to environmentalism. At the same time supply is low.  Refineries are still not operating at full production.  Surely this must be some sinister plot by oil companies to limit supply, right? During the pandemic gas prices plummeted due to low demand. Oil companies were losing money. So, they shut down refineries and slowed down production. After all, why produce more product when you are losing money doing it? Now suddenly the economy opens back up and it is taking a while for these refineries to catch back up. It's difficult to find workers. We still have that trucker shortage problem.  Plus, never mind the fact that California is making it illegal for owner operators to do trucking. Then ask yourself, why are there few if any new refineries?  Surely when demand for gas is so high and profit opportunity is so great, you would expect entrepreneurs to enter the market to produce more gasoline, right?  Or less competitive oil companies would see this as an opportunity to produce more supply at a slightly lower price to grab more market share. But that's not happening.  Why?  Never mind the fact that the regulatory code mak...

U.S. officials and cybersecurity experts have linked the attack to a Russian-speaking criminal gang known as DarkSide, believed to be based in Eastern Europe. DarkSide, which has said it has broken into networks on more than 80 companies dating back to August 2020, claims to be an experienced team of ransomware creators that previously made millions of dollars infecting victim networks. DarkSide also claims to engage in extortion, threatening to publicly publish data belonging to its victims if they don't pay the ransom. The hackers have said they are willing to sell inside information about publicly traded companies if these companies refuse to meet their ransom demands. Ransomware is a type of cyberattack that locks up a victim's computer systems and demands payment from a victim to have the files released. Payments are usually made with cryptocurrency. Good news! People vaccinated against Covid-19 can go without masks indoors and outdoors, CDC says https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/10/politics/hhs-transgender-healthcare-protections-biden-administration/index.html Play video clip.  Play this clip and start at the 3:58min mark: https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/05/12/cdc-director-cant-give-data-showing-its-unsafe-for-vaccinated-people-to-unmask-says-guidance-will-be-updated-very-soon/ Biden Tweet regarding Uber and Lyft: “We're working hard to ensure transportation is less of a barrier when it comes to getting a COVID-19 vaccine. And I'm excited to share that starting May 24th, Uber and Lyft will offer everyone in America free rides to vaccination sites.” Inflation Concerns Grow as Biden and the Democrats Don't Understand Basic Math https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/12/joe-biden-spending-inflation-hidden-tax-everything-purchase-coronavirus/ According to the Daily Caller: “President Joe Biden's relief package may not be the primary contributor to the rise in prices witnessed in recent weeks, experts say, his administration has proposed a $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and $1.8 trillion American Families Plan, which could pump an unprecedented $6.1 trillion into the economy in under two years.” But here is the thing. Within 12 months Congress passed $5T in stimulus packages. And this was because the government told you to stop working. Now math-ignoraumous Biden is proposing $6T in more spending this year. Here is how inflation works. Inflation is basically the result of having more dollars in the economy than goods. More cash to play with and fewer goods to purchase, price will inevitably go up. But what we have done this last year is self-inflicted inflation. The government told everybody to stop working, killing supply chains, and then the dumped a bunch of money into businesses they shutdown and into our bank accounts, and then add that to the long term unemployment benefits that everyone is getting to not go back to work, and we get the perfect formula for the spike in inflation we are seeing. It could be short term, but having the Biden economic incompetence in the drivers seat, I dont think it is going to be short term. Don't get me wrong, Republicans are to blame just as much as the Democrats in all this.  Closing This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

This week, we deep dive another stock in our 2021 model portfolio, CrowdStrike. It seems that hacking is constantly in the news with disturbing reports of spyware infiltrating our devices and ransomware attacks against government agencies, corporations, and public services. CrowdStrike aims to protect these systems from hackers with an advanced cybersecurity platform powered by artificial intelligence and modern security foundations. According to Gartner, the worldwide cybersecurity market is predicted to reach $150B this year. While this is a huge market, it is dwarfed by the estimated $6T of economic damage to be caused by cybercrime in 2021, and this figure is expected to grow 15% per year to reach $10.5T by 2025. CrowdStrike is a leading provider of endpoint security. Endpoints include personal computers, servers, mobiles, tablets and IoT devices, all potentially vulnerable to hackers attempting to access corporate and government systems. There were an estimated 31B connected devices in 2020 and this is expected to grow to 75B by 2025. CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 by former McAfee executives, George Kurtz and Dimitri Alperovitch. Its Falcon cybersecurity platform is cloud-native, designed and built for the cloud to provide modern endpoint protection and threat intelligence. This SaaS business model allows them to scale quickly and cost-effectively with near-limitless capacity. The power of CrowdStrike's platform comes from their 'Threat Graph' breach prevention engine. It collects data from the entire CrowdStrike customer base and uses artificial intelligence, behavioural analytics, and human experts to predict where the next major threat will appear. It has, in effect, crowdsourced threat detection and prevention with a powerful network effect where each additional customer makes the platform stronger for all customers. CrowdStrike's services are packaged into modules and customers can just pay for the modules they require to get started, adding others as their businesses grow and their requirements increase. This 'land and expand' growth strategy has resulted in a DBNER of over 120% for several years running. The number of customers using 4 or more modules has grown from 27% in FY2018 to 61% in FY2021. As of 30 Apr 2021, they have 11,420 subscription customers, a YoY increase of 83%. CrowdStrike have partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM, Google Cloud, and many players in the cybersecurity space. CrowdStrike is the recommended endpoint protection for AWS which has been instrumental in the adoption of CrowdStrike by small to midsize businesses. Cybersecurity is an inherently risky business, and breaches can damage a company's reputation and customer perception. As a sign of confidence in their platform and capabilities, CrowdStrike offers a warranty with their Falcon Complete subscription level to cover $1M of incident response expenses for breaches suffered by a customer under their watch. The company has been growing quickly for a number of years with a total revenue CAGR from FY2017 to FY2021 of 102%. Growth rates are slowing as the company gains market share but remains high, with a 70% YoY increase reported in the latest quarter. The gross margin has been improving quickly, rising from 57% in FY2018 to 77% in the latest quarter. With a market cap of $60B and a P/S ratio of just under 60, the company has a valuation to reflect its high rate of growth.
