The yen has dropped to its lowest level against the US dollar since July, and the Japanese Finance Minister has issued a warning.

The exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar has fallen to its lowest level since July, underperforming all major currencies. Analysts attribute the yen's decline to the capital outflow of Japanese retail investors and the Tokyo fixing price. The investment through the Japanese Individual Savings Account (NISA) and the capital flow related to the Tokyo fixing price have led to the weakening of the yen. Akira Moroga, the chief market strategist at Aozora Bank Ltd, said that as the new year approaches, overseas investments may sell the yen through NISA. The dim prospects of a recent interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan have also exacerbated the yen's predicament. Governor Kazuo Ueda reaffirmed on Monday that if the economy continues to improve this year, the benchmark interest rate will be raised. (Sina Finance)

After 12 years of twists and turns, the Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail project still faces at least a one-year delay

On January 7 local time, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that the high-speed rail project connecting the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur and Singapore will be delayed by at least one to two years. The reason for the delay is the waiting for the participation of private investment.

Malaysia and Singapore announced the Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail plan in February 2013 and signed an agreement in December 2016. In January 2021, the two sides issued a joint statement announcing the cancellation of this high-speed rail project. Malaysian media said that during the negotiations between the two countries, one of the main sticking points was that Malaysia requested to extend the high-speed rail to the international airport near Kuala Lumpur, but Singapore rejected this idea because it would pose a threat to Singapore's status as an aviation hub. On December 23, 2023, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that the Malaysian government has agreed in principle to restart the high-speed rail project connecting the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. According to the previous design, the Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail is a double-track operation with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour. After completion, it will only take 90 minutes from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. A one-way drive between the two places requires more than 4 hours. (CCTV News)

It can generate physics-based videos from a combination of inputs such as text, images, and videos, as well as robot sensors or motion data. The realistic videos generated by this model can be used to train robots and autonomous vehicles, helping them understand the physical world by creating synthetic training data at a much lower cost than using traditional data.

Nvidia said that the development of physical AI models is costly and requires a large amount of real-world data and testing. Cosmos provides developers with an easy way to generate a large amount of physics-based synthetic data for training and evaluating models. Developers can also build custom models by fine-tuning Cosmos. (The Paper)
