At work, I often need to submit PDF documents, but the photos I take on my iPhone are in HEIC format. To make it easier to convert HEIC to PDF, I developed a website: https://heictopdf.run/. It allows you to batch convert HEIC files to PDF online, with all processing done in the browser—no data is stored on the server.
While OpenAI's Sora model amazed the world but remained closed, the Open-Sora project is committed to using the power of the open source community to allow everyone to access and participate in cutting-edge video generation technology. It not only provides a usable model, but also discloses training details and toolchains, greatly promoting the democratization and innovation of AI video generation technology.

Why is this question controversial? Extreme comparison of human numbers vs. animal strength 100 people may sound overwhelming, but an adult gorilla is 4-10 times stronger than an average human. This leads to a classic discussion of "strength vs. numbers".

No standard rules People imagine this duel in different conditions, such as:

Are the humans trained? Or just ordinary passers-by?

Are they armed? Like baseball bats vs. bare hands?

How big is the fighting area? Open grass vs. a closed room?

Misunderstandings about gorilla strength Many people underestimate the physical fitness of the silverback gorilla. It can easily lift thousands of pounds, tear bones, and is very fast.

Psychological factors Even if 100 people can really win, who dares to rush in first? If an angry 500-pound gorilla kills one or two people, will others be scared and dare not go up?

Who will actually win? It depends on the conditions, but from several perspectives:

Conditions Winner Bare-handed, ordinary human Gorillas win (easily) Ordinary human + simple weapons (such as sticks) Gorillas still have a big advantage Well-trained soldiers, with tactics Humans may win (need to lose) Enclosed space, close-range siege Humans may win, but with heavy losses Open terrain, gorillas can escape and may not be caught The conclusion is: if it is an ordinary group of people in reality, gorillas will most likely win. Human victory requires organization, courage, tactics and certain equipment.

What equipment or strategy do you think humans should have to have a chance to win a gorilla?
