With management fees twice as high as market rivals, Cathie Wood's Ark fund has consistently broken revenue records while the fund's value has fallen more than 70% since its peak.

Collect fees despite losses

According to the latest statistics of ft.com, the investment fund Ark Investment Management has earned more than 300 million USD in management fees since its inception 9 years ago, while "wiping" 10 billion USD from investors. in the same amount of time.

Investors have continued to pour money into the Ark Disruptive Innovation ETF over the past two years, even though most of their investments have been damaged by the tech stock downturn.

According to data from FactSet, the "loss" period is also when the Ark fund has the highest management fees, with 70% of total revenue coming from after the peak in February 2021, and through 2023, when The situation is still not good, Ark fund still brings in more than 230,000 USD in management fees per day.

"The management fee gave ARK and Cathie Wood employees a good life, but her investors weren't so lucky," said Elisabeth Kashner, director of research and analysis at FactSet. "

Investment style "risky":

The ARK Fund is always ready to "bet" with emerging businesses, especially when that model possesses technology that ARK assesses "will shape the future of technology, robotics, biotechnology or exploration. space danger."

Having achieved many successes in the period 2020 to early 2021, the ARK fund has attracted more than 3 billion USD in investments in just the first two weeks of February 2021, bringing the total asset value to a record 27, 9 billion USD.

However, followed by a series of "nightmare" days when the ARK fund's value dropped continuously, most of which came from a series of "falling" investment deals since the peak of 2021 such as Coinbase, Zoom, Shopify, Tesla…

Many experts have pointed to ARK's "unusually high" management fees of up to 0.75% per year, which is double that of other active ETFs on the market. But according to Morningstar data, the amount of investment in ARK has remained very stable after the crisis period.

"Many investors are running huge deficits, making it impossible for them to make withdrawal and stop-loss decisions," said Ben Johnson, head of client solutions at Morningstar. stuck at the high price they bought, and they'll keep investing in hopes that somehow, ARK will get back to that price."

According to Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi: "Few people decided to withdraw when the ARK fund certificate price improved slightly in early 2023."

On the other hand, with ARK's "horribly high" volatility, many investors have begun to use derivatives to buy and sell short the fund's value, making profits based on the "risky" investment style. network" by Cathie Wood.

What future for Ark's investors?:

"Captain" Cathie Wood told investors in late January that "innovation has been punished," but she continued to pledge that investing in "disruptive innovation" will lead to "exponential growth trajectory" despite incurring huge losses.

Said to be done, the ARK fund continues to launch "bottom-fishing" of many stocks that are on the decline due to unsatisfactory 2022 business results such as Tesla, Nextdoor, Unity Software, and Coinbase.

According to FactSet, since its inception, ARK investors have lost an average of 27% of their capital, meaning that each dollar invested in the fund is now only $0.73. The biggest losers were investors who bought at the peak of ARK's value, when their investment had fallen by more than 74%

Nokia Did Not Quit The Game, HMD Global Reported To Launch Nokia Flagship “Magic Max” Phone Next Month

The Nokia mobile phones launched by HMD Global are currently mainly low-end models, but the latest news said that HMD showed two models of Nokia Magic Max and Nokia C99 to a small number of members at the MWC 2023 exhibition, using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.

According to the information currently held by foreign technology media The TechOutlook, HMD may release Nokia Magic Max in April, priced at about $550; Nokia C99 is expected to be launched at the end of this year, priced at about $480.

According to the news, Nokia Magic Max has 8GB, 12GB and 16GB in terms of memory, and 256GB and 512GB in terms of storage.

The machine is equipped with Android 13 system from the factory and uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The front of the fuselage uses a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, and the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7.

The back of the fuselage is equipped with a 144-megapixel main camera, a 64-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 48-megapixel telephoto lens.

In addition, it is reported that the machine is equipped with a 6500mAh capacity battery (Pickpook notes, gizchina, theTechOutlook and other media believe it is 7950mAh, while smart-phoneprice and mobiles57 believe it is 6500mAh), and supports 180W fast charging.

The specifications of the Nokia C99 are not known yet.

More Information About Tesla Cybertruck Leaked, Cancels Front Middle Seat

Photos taken by attendees at the Investor Day event revealed some interesting details about the Cybertruck production beta, one of which is the vehicle's five-seat configuration, which will reportedly be the version that will eventually hit the market.

Early Tesla investor and EV advocate Matthew Donegan-Ryan tweeted after the Investor Day event that the Cybertruck pre-production model shown at the Investor Day event About 5 percent smaller than the prototype, Tesla eliminated the front middle seat, which the prototype had, in a six-seat configuration.

The early Tesla investor also pointed out that all Cybertruck models will only be available in five-seat configurations, information purportedly from Tesla employees.

If the early Tesla investor's information is accurate, it means the Cybertruck can carry fewer people than competing products, such as the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado, both of which offer six-seat configurations.

Therefore, I believe that some Tesla enthusiasts and some Cybertruck reservation users will be disappointed that the sixth seat of the pickup has been cancelled.

Still, other EV advocates have suggested that the Cybertruck's "missing" sixth seat may have something to do with the all-electric pickup's safety. In the original Cybertruck prototype, the front middle seat was facing the car's huge touchscreen.

Optimizing the safety of the front middle seat can be quite tricky, and air bag placement alone can be challenging. Of course, eliminating the middle seat in the front row can also reduce the production cost of Cybertruck, which is beneficial to Tesla.

Donegan Ryan also revealed some other information about Cybertruck, which is organized as follows:

• The CyberTruck's hood can be opened like the Model X, but the front bumper/grille area cannot be opened like the F-150 Lightning.
• CyberTruck will have two versions: one is a dual-motor version, and the other is what I call a performance version (don’t know the official name), which should be equipped with three motors.
• All CyberTruck models will be equipped with rear-wheel steering.
• CyberTruck will be equipped with the largest central control display in Tesla's history, 18.5 inches (17 inches for Model S and X), no instrument screen, no head-up display, and the second row of control screens are similar to Model S/X.
• The CyberTruck steering wheel has round left and right sides and a flat top/bottom.
• Air suspension is standard.
• The CyberTryck's doors don't open automatically like the Model X's, and there are release buttons on the B- and C-pillars to open the doors.

The Hong Kong University Of Science And Technology Encourages Students To Use ChatGPT, And Using It Can Also Add Points

According to the "Hong Kong Economic Times" report, a course at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology encourages students to use ChatGPT in their midterm reports and promises to give extra points.

The person in charge of the course, Associate Professor and Senior Consultant (Entrepreneurship) of HKUST Huang Yueyong believes that ChatGPT will have a profound and irreversible impact on the way of learning in the future, which can enhance the depth of knowledge and creativity of students, and calls on the education community to practice its application as soon as possible and discuss its impact.

Earlier this month, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was the first to announce that it is up to teachers to decide whether to allow students to use ChatGPT.

Huang Yueyong said that unlike other Hong Kong universities that prohibit or restrict the use of ChatGPT or other AI tools, the management of HKUST hopes to encourage everyone to "learn as soon as possible." He also said that when scoring, more emphasis is placed on students' critical thinking and reflective abilities when interacting with ChatGPT.

Pickpook noticed that the University of Hong Kong and Lingnan University announced last month that students are temporarily prohibited from using ChatGPT.

The Vice President (Teaching) of the University of Hong Kong, He Liren, sent an email to teachers and students on March 9, reiterating that the relevant policy remains unchanged and will continue until the end of the current year in August.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Reportedly Rumored To Retain Snapdragon Processor

Samsung may contribute more to Qualcomm's smartphone business next year, with new rumors circulating that next year's Galaxy S24 series will still use Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC, as the company is still developing the Exynos chip. Earlier news pointed out that Samsung will hope to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm by using the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series.

Qualcomm launched a special edition of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23 series this year, and Samsung may retain the same strategy in 2024 to customize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The Qualcomm chip running in the Galaxy S24 may run at a higher clock speed, like its predecessors, making the smartphone perform better at certain tasks. However, not everyone agrees with @OreXda on Twitter, who insists that Samsung will avoid using its Exynos chipsets in Galaxy-branded flagships.

Galaxy S24 Series will never use Exynos.

— Connor / 코너 / コナー (@OreXda) March 13, 2023

Shortly after his main tweet, a debate quickly ignited in the industry, with some dissenters talking about Samsung's efforts to use the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series.

Apparently, the South Korean giant is working on this SoC, but it's still not clear if it intends to use it in next year's premier smartphone series. Quadrans Muralis responded to the tweet, arguing that Samsung's motivation for using the Exynos 2400 was to negotiate a better price with Qualcomm.

OreXda seems to agree that Samsung is working on the Exynos 2400, but according to him, it won't be in any Galaxy S24 models, which is understandable on the news side, since there hasn't been any news about the Exynos 2400 during the entire S23 launch cycle So unless something concrete comes out in the next few months, our immediate assumption is that the Galaxy S24 series will be powered by a Snapdragon SoC.

Given the improvements seen in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, we're inclined to say that Samsung is still doing what's best for phone customers, as is sticking with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset designed for the Galaxy S24 models.

Previous attempts to differentiate Exynos by region damaged the company's reputation, so unless it has absolute confidence in the capabilities of its high-end Exynos variants, it should resume working with Qualcomm.

ChatGPT-4 Arrives Next Week With More Powerful Features, It Can Generate Images, Videos, Even Sounds

In parallel, Microsoft also announced that GPT-4 will soon be integrated into Bing Chat.

This generative artificial intelligence is now a global phenomenon, everyone uses it and for a million different purposes.

With the new version, GPT-4 will change completely, achieving the biggest evolution so far. It will turn into a Large Language Model (LLM) with tons more possibilities.

In addition to being much faster in responses, it will take another step towards accurate human interpretation. It will provide answers in all languages using an increasingly natural language but above all multimedia generative capabilities will be integrated.

It is not official news yet but GPT-4 should be able to interact through text, images, video and sound. This means that he will be able to create images based on what we write to him but also entire videos or music.

We just have to ask it to generate an image of a cat and we will immediately see the result. If we are not happy, we will be able to ask him for changes, for example, make the cat read a newspaper, and the AI will create another image (or a drawing) in which we actually see a cat grappling with a newspaper.

If this is phenomenal in itself, imagine how revolutionary it would be if he could actually create videos from scratch!

Microsoft will hold an event titled The Future of Work with AI on March 16th and surely a preview of GPT-4 will be shown or it will be launched for all purposes. We will certainly keep you updated.

iPhone 15 Pro Confirmed To Have A Unified Volume Button And A New Style Mute Button

According to 9to5mac's sources, the iPhone 15 Pro models will get rid of the separate volume up and down button design in favor of a new button, which works both ways depending on where the user presses.

The renders have revealed a single cutout for the volume buttons, but it's unclear if Apple actually opted for a single button instead of two.

Chinese Manufacturers Set A New Record For Electric Manned Aircraft With Pure Electric Flight Of 250 Kilometers

Pickpook learned from the official account of Fengfei Aviation that the eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing, electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft company Fengfei Aviation Technology announced that its eVTOL aircraft - Shengshilong No successfully completed a flight of 250.3 kilometers under a single charge state, setting a new record for the range of a 2-ton eVTOL aircraft in the world.

The flight test was completed at Fengfei Jining Test Base on February 23, and the real and complete flight process was recorded through video and third-party equipment.

The long-distance flight video shows the complete flight stages of vertical takeoff, forward transition, fixed-wing cruise, reverse transition and vertical landing, with a single flight range exceeding 250 kilometers.

According to public information, the previous record was 248.8 kilometers (154.6 miles) set by Joby Airlines in the United States.

Fengfei Shengshilong No. 4 aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 2 tons, pure electric power, 5-seater design, and can fly autonomously.

It adopts a compound wing configuration, uses the rotor to take off vertically, and then performs a forward conversion after flying to a certain height, and then cruises quickly and horizontally like a fixed-wing aircraft, with a speed of over 200 km/h.

eVTOL aircraft do not require traditional airports with runways. Compared with helicopters, they are quieter, more environmentally friendly, safer and more reliable, and lower in cost.

In the future, they will be widely used in urban air travel and intercity travel scenarios in metropolitan areas. Data shows that more than 14 million people in my country suffer from extreme commuting time (more than 60 minutes one way), and eVTOL is also considered to be an important solution to solve ground traffic congestion, reducing hours of ground traffic time during peak hours to 15-20 minute.

The long-range mission was carried out at Fengfei eVTOL test base in February, and the mission covered 20 circles on the scheduled flight track. Although "Shengshilong" No. 4 is equipped with advanced avionics equipment, in order to ensure the objectivity and effectiveness of the test results, the aircraft was equipped with a third-party avionics equipment (Stratus 3) during the test and was tested on the ForeFlight system. Recording and verification of actual flight distances. As an independent professional system, ForeFlight has been widely used in the aviation field.

Omer Bar-Yohay, Global President of Forward Aviation Technology, said: "Based on the continuous optimization and rigorous testing of the previously verified models, Forward Flight has accumulated a large amount of actual flight data, which will help Shengshilong's development iteration and airworthiness certification. This ultra-long-distance flight The test has fully and truly demonstrated the excellent performance of Fengfei aircraft, and we are very happy to continue working towards the goal of obtaining EASA airworthiness certification in 2025."

In addition, for the carrier aircraft V2000CG Keruiou, which is on the same platform as Shengshilong, Fengfei has jointly formulated the basis for the type certification with CAAC and the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and successfully passed the civil aviation expert review meeting in early February this year. items are closed.

The type approval basic submission draft and the G-1 issue summary have been formally submitted to the Civil Aviation Administration, which also marks that the airworthiness work of the V2000CG model will enter the stage of "compliance plan formulation" in an all-round way.

Founded in 2017, Fengfei Aviation Technology is committed to providing global customers with safe and reliable air logistics operation systems and air three-dimensional travel solutions.

The First iPhone With A Hidden Camera Under The Screen Has Just Appeared

In September 2022, Apple launched the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max series with a completely different screen design compared to the previous versions.

After 5 years of sticking to the "rabbit ears" screen, Apple has finally improved the cutout at the top of the screen with a new and unique feature called Dynamic Island.

As an improved Face ID sensor design, Dynamic Island is the pill-shaped hole-punch located on the top edge of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

According to some sources, this design will be brought to all 4 iPhone 15 versions released this year by Apple. And by the iPhone 16 generation released in 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro series will switch to the Face ID design hidden under the screen like never before.

Face ID under the screen of Apple will be similar to the camera under the screen (UPC) that Samsung Display equips for the Galaxy Z Fold series. This is a technology where a front camera module is placed under the screen and the camera lens hole is not visible when the camera function is not in use.

According to the report, if the implementation of Face ID under the screen goes smoothly, Apple may continue to use the design of hiding the selfie camera under the screen on the next iPhone 17 Pro lineup.

The source from The Elec coincides with the roadmap revealed by DSCC analyst Ross Young in May 2022. According to Young, the iPhone launched in 2024 is Apple's first iPhone line to be equipped with sensor technology hidden under the screen.

According to predictions from Ross Young, all iPhone 15 models will be equipped with Dynamic Island, not just the "Pro" model. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max (or Ultra) will be equipped with Face ID under the screen. By 2026, the iPhone 18 Pro will hide the selfie camera under the screen.

If this source is correct, the Face ID technology hidden under the screen will help Apple enhance the full-screen experience on the company's products.

Xiaomi Announces The List Of Smartphones That Will Soon Receive MIUI 14 Update

At the end of the Xiaomi 13 series launch event at MWC 2023, the company announced a list of 18 devices that will soon receive MIUI 14.

However, despite providing a list of devices, Xiaomi did not give a specific time. All we know is that rollout started towards the end of Q1, but chances are most of the phones on the list will wait much longer than that.

The list mainly features high-end devices, along with some mid-range devices under the Redmi brand.

It is important to note that this is not the final list and more devices will receive MIUI 14 in the future.

In addition, the MIUI 14 update does not mean that the device will receive Android 13. Xiaomi often puts its latest MIUI updates on some devices without the latest Android version.

Unbelievable! One UI 5.1 On Galaxy S23 Takes Up 60GB Of Memory Space, Twice As Heavy As Windows 11

While smartphones are advertised as having increasingly higher storage capacities, many new buyers are shocked to find that a significant portion of the internal memory is already being used by the operating system itself.

This is especially true for the Galaxy S23, when with the new OneUI 5.1 version, it has consumed 60GB of internal storage space in this smartphone. This is four times the consumption of the original version of Android on the Pixel 7 and about twice the storage capacity of Windows 11 on the PC.

Samsung officially launched the Galaxy S23 lineup last week. The storage capacity of each version will be from 128GB to 1TB, but Ars Technica recently reported that 60GB of storage on the Galaxy S23 is used for the system partition right from the factory. That's a huge number, especially for those buying the 128GB version.

For comparison, the stock version of Android 13 used in the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro only takes up 15GB of internal storage. But the Galaxy S23, which runs on Samsung's custom One UI 5.1 skin on top of Android 13, has bloatware built in.

A lot of unnecessary apps pre-installed in One UI 5.1 like browser, app store, messaging app, keyboard, etc. come with unnecessary features that make it take up 60 GB of space.

Below, in descending order, is a list of how much storage the operating system takes up on smartphones for your comparison:

• Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: 58GB
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: 34.81GB
• Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 34.14GB
• Samsung Galaxy A52s: 25.86GB
• OnePlus 10: 20.6GB
• Google Pixel 7: 19GB
• Google Pixel 7 Pro: 18GB
• OnePlus 9: 17.1GB
• POCO X5 Pro: 11.02GB
• iPhone 14 Pro: 9.62GB
