Production Halted Again As Toyota Indus Motor Faces Shutdown

In another blow to the already troubled auto sector, Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) announced a series of non-production days (NPDs) in June. The company, in an official notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), announced inventory shortage as the primary reason for the temporary shutdown of its car assembly plant. The production halt is scheduled from June 3 to June 8, 2023.

Adding to the troubles of the industry, there are reports that the federal government is considering imposing a Withholding Tax (WHT) on domestically produced vehicles based on invoice price instead of engine capacity, in the upcoming budget. This potential policy change has raised concerns within the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), which has warned of severe consequences for the already struggling auto industry.

PAMA has expressed its apprehensions in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), highlighting that altering the basis of WHT will adversely impact the sales of locally-assembled cars. The association has urged the board to reconsider this proposal, as it would inevitably lead to an increase in retail prices. Furthermore, PAMA has also requested a reduction in the existing engine-based WHT on vehicles.

Automakers are growing increasingly anxious as the ongoing operational challenges pose a significant threat to their sustainability. However, the government has yet to respond to the plea for assistance from the auto sector. The industry awaits a concrete response from the authorities, hoping for measures that would alleviate their concerns and support their survival.

Cancer Patients Can Live With This Drug, Study

Around 1.8 million people die from lung cancer each year, making it the most common type of cancer in the world. The American Society of Clinical Oncology’s (Asco) annual meeting in Chicago featured the presentation of the late-stage study’s findings, which were led by Yale University.

According to research presented at the largest cancer conference in the world, using the medicine osimertinib after surgery significantly lowered patients’ risk of death by 51%.

The drug created by the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca targets a specific subtype of lung cancer in patients with so-called non-small cell cancer, the most prevalent subtype, and exhibiting a specific subtype of mutation.

Breakthrough In Cancer Treatment 

The trial examined whether the medication could benefit people with non-small cell lung cancer, the most prevalent kind of the disease, and included participants aged 30 to 86 in 26 countries.

“Thirty years ago, there was nothing we could do for these patients,” said Dr. Roy Herbst, the deputy director of Yale Cancer Center and lead author of the study. “Now we have this potent drug.”

“Fifty percent is a big deal in any disease, but certainly in a disease like lung cancer, which has typically been very resistant to therapies.”

According to the trial results, osimertinib, also marketed under the brand name Tagrisso and manufactured by AstraZeneca, significantly lowered the chance of death in lung cancer patients receiving treatment following surgery. “Adjuvant osimertinib demonstrated an unprecedented, highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival benefit in patients,” the paper stated.

In comparison to patients given a placebo, 88% of patients who took the daily medication after having their tumor removed were still alive after five years. Overall, those who received osimertinib had a 51% lower risk of dying than those who received a placebo.

It is hard to convey how important this finding is and how long it’s taken to get here,” said Dr. Nathan Pennell, an Asco expert who was not involved with the study. “This shows an unequivocal, highly significant improvement in survival.”

Trashit Transforming Waste Management In Pakistan: The Power Of Composting

Did you know how much food wastage you generate? Or what amount of food is being wasted in Pakistan and how much does it cost? According to a report by the Ministry of National Food Security & Research, approximately 26 percent of the food produced in our country is discarded every year. To put this into perspective, this wastage equates to a staggering $4 billion in monetary value. It’s an astonishing figure that highlights the significant economic impact of this issue.

An effective solution to address this problem is through the practice of composting. In simpler terms, composting involves the conversion of food waste into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used as a natural fertilizer for plants. By implementing composting practices, not only can we enhance soil quality, but we can also establish a more streamlined and sustainable waste management system in Pakistan.

Today on World Environment Day which is celebrated on June 5 worldwide, we reached out to a woman entrepreneur who in the pursuit of addressing the food waste challenge showcased a visionary mindset and took action to make a significant impact. Anusha Fatima, despite her background in computer science, made the bold decision to establish an organization dedicated to revolutionizing composting practices. Her startup, TrashIt, has emerged as a catalyst for change in waste management and has sparked a movement toward transforming Pakistan into an environmentally-friendly state.

Birth of TrashIt

Anusha’s journey toward making a difference in waste management began in 2017 when her interest in entrepreneurship was sparked during her university studies. It was during a course called Design Thinking that she had the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of Karachi’s city management system. This experience opened her eyes to the magnitude of the food waste problem and highlighted the inadequacies in waste management practices.

Reflecting on her realization, Anusha shared, “Before encountering the impact of wastage on our society, I was immune like everyone else and never paid attention to it. But when I saw the flaw of waste management, I decided to become a problem solver rather than just complaining about it.”

During her exploration of various methodologies, Anusha delved deep into the practice of composting, developing a strong understanding of its principles. It was during this time that she conceived the idea of TrashIt, a venture aimed at connecting individuals who shared her vision for sustainable waste management. Anusha actively sought opportunities to expand her knowledge and network, participating in business incubator programs and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Serendipitously, Anusha had the fortune of attending a workshop conducted by Tofiq Pasha, where the focus was on kitchen gardening and composting. “Fortunately, around that time, I had the opportunity to attend a workshop by Tofiq Pasha, where I learned about kitchen gardening and composting through hands-on training and implemented these practices using my own household waste,” recalled Anusha reflecting on this formative experience.

Role of SC Women In Tech

As TrashIt began to gain traction and make a notable impact, Anusha and her team discovered the Standard Chartered Women in Tech program. This discovery proved to be a pivotal moment that set the stage for TrashIt’s success and further propelled its mission forward.

Anusha was lucky to be part of the inaugural batch of the Standard Chartered Women in Tech program in 2019. Looking back on those times, she emphasized the significant impact the program had on her entrepreneurial journey. The program offered a comprehensive learning experience, equipping Anusha with knowledge in crucial areas such as marketing, finance, prototyping, and achieving product-market fit.

As the Covid-19 pandemic created unprecedented uncertainty and disruptions, Anusha acknowledged the SCWIT’s resilience in ensuring its continuation. “During the Covid-19 pandemic, when everything seemed unpredictable, the SCWIT program stood by us and kept the program running. Their unwavering support played a crucial role in helping us navigate through challenging circumstances and achieve our milestones,” she shared.

Anusha Fatima expressed her admiration for the community of women entrepreneurs brought together under the umbrella of the SCWIT. Witnessing this collective support and connection among fellow women entrepreneurs was a source of inspiration and commendation for her. As Anusha’s knowledge and confidence grew, so did the momentum of TrashIt, the venture she spearheaded.

In the initial stages, the TrashIt team embarked on a journey of experimentation. They explored various methods of collecting organic waste and implementing effective composting techniques. Over time, through dedication and perseverance, they successfully cracked the code and developed expertise in composting. Presently, TrashIt is capable of composting approximately 500kg of organic waste. Beyond composting, the visionary startup also offers waste management and composting solutions to different companies, extending its impact beyond its own operations.

Anusha firmly believes that incubator programs like the SCWIT play a vital role in providing credibility and support to new startups. She recognizes the significant contribution in the growth and success of TrashIt.

Next Goal: Environment Sustainability

We are living in a time where saving the earth is not just a slogan but also a need of the hour. According to Anusha, the corporate sector is taking the matter seriously and discussing different approaches to combat 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming & CO2 emission.

“We need more creative minds and solutions on the local level as the future of environmental startups is very bright. These ideas would then translate into global-level organizations,” explained Anusha.

As we talked about the future of environmental startups, Anusha also discussed what TrashIt has to offer for upcoming times. She shared that TrashIt is set to make a bigger impact as they plan to take it to other major cities in Pakistan. As the company is leading in composting and soil health, the whole team aims to groom young talent that would lead the mission of climate safety.

Huawei Plans To Launch ChatGPT Rival

Huawei Plans To Launch ChatGPT Rival

Huawei, the Chinese tech giant, is set to make a significant entry into the world of AI with the launch of its own AI text reply software next month. This move puts Huawei in direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and represents a major development in the Chinese tech industry.

The software, rumored to be called “Pangu Chat,” derives its name from Huawei’s large-scale learning model. The official unveiling of this AI technology is expected to take place at the Huawei Developer Conference (Cloud) on July 7th, 2023.

Not meant for conmericial use?

While details remain limited, sources suggest that Huawei intends to target the business sector and focus on selling the software to government and enterprise customers. This strategic decision highlights Huawei’s intention to tap into the growing demand for AI-powered solutions in these sectors.

Huawei Is Preparing A ChatGPT Competitor? It May Be Called NetGPT - Gadget Tendency
Source: Gadget Tendancy

To ensure the reliability and performance of Pangu Chat, Huawei conducted rigorous testing using a large-scale Pangu cloud model with an impressive 100 billion parameters. Over the course of two months, more than 2000 Huawei Ascend 910 chipsets were utilized for data training purposes. Such extensive testing demonstrates Huawei’s commitment to delivering a high-quality AI product.

High power required for Pangu Chat

Additionally, industry analysts reveal that the development of large-scale models incurs substantial computing power costs. In the case of Pangu Chat, the training process required over 4000 GPU/TPU cards, resulting in a computing power cost of approximately 960 million yuan over three years.

The specifications of Huawei’s Pangu model indicate that the new Pangu-E large model is capable of generating at least 1.085 trillion parameters, equivalent to the capabilities of OpenAI’s GPT-4. Developed using the MindSpore framework, this model can generate dialogues comparable to GPT-3.5.

The Pangu model was initially launched in 2021, with version 2.0 released in April 2022. The platform currently encompasses Natural Language Processing (NLP) large models, Computer Vision (CV) large models, and Meteorological models. Huawei’s Pangu series distinguishes itself by being the first Chinese pre-training large model with over 100 billion parameters and a CV large model with 3 billion parameters.

Can it compete with GPT 4

The Pangu series boasts advanced capabilities, including discrimination and generation of data, as well as the ability to learn from small samples. It also supports second-level weather forecasts and facilitates three-modal large-scale learning, covering maps, text, and audio data.

The NLP large model within the Pangu series utilizes an Encoder-Decoder architecture, incorporating comprehension and generation capabilities. Furthermore, it ensures the flexibility of embedding the model into different systems. Downstream applications benefit from the ability to rapidly fine-tune and adapt the 100-billion-parameter model using only a small number of samples and learnable parameters.

We are awaiting confirmation

While Huawei has not officially confirmed these reports, the prospect of Huawei launching a ChatGPT rival is exciting. By leveraging the power of AI to deliver innovative solutions, Huawei continues to establish itself as a prominent player in the tech industry. However, it remains to be seen if Huawei will make this AI software available on its smartphones, which would undoubtedly add another layer of interest to their offering.

Huawei’s imminent launch of Pangu Chat, a rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, represents a significant milestone in the Chinese tech industry. By introducing its own AI text reply software, Huawei aims to cater to the business sector, focusing on government and enterprise customers. As the details unfold, the industry eagerly awaits Huawei’s official announcement, hoping to witness another impressive application of AI technology from the renowned tech company.

Are Rich People Rich Because They’re Smart?

The question of whether rich people are rich because they’re smart has been debated and argued about for centuries now. There is no easy answer, as there are many factors that contribute to wealth, including intelligence, hard work, luck, and opportunity. Some people believe that intelligence is the key to wealth.

They argue that smart people are better able to think critically, solve problems, and make sound decisions. Basically, they think a degree is better than no degree. This gives them an advantage in the workplace and in the world of business, where they are more likely to be successful and earn a high income.

Others believe that hard work is the most important factor in determining wealth. They argue that anyone can be successful if they are willing to work hard enough. This is certainly true in some cases, as there are many examples of people who have come from humble beginnings and achieved great wealth through hard work and dedication. And let’s be honest, most rich people in the world are dropouts for example Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and even Ray Dalio.

Success By Chance?

However, it is also important to acknowledge the role that luck plays in determining wealth. Some people are simply born into wealthy families, while others are lucky enough to make a lucky investment or to be in the right place at the right time. Opportunity is another important factor. Some people have more opportunities than others to become wealthy. This may be due to their education, their social connections, or their location.

Image Source: Getty Images

So, are rich people rich because they’re smart? The answer is not simple. But a few researchers have tried to find out the answer to this question by doing a study.

A recent Swedish study was conducted and the results were shocking. The results concluded that cognitive test scores of the top 1% of earning people did not show a drastic difference from the scores that those who earned slightly less got.

Education

Predictably, the socioeconomic status of families has a predictable impact on the quality of education received. This is proved when considering the availability of expensive schools and private tutors, which offer personalized instruction that is highly effective. It is worth noting that access to high-quality education can significantly influence one’s future income. It is important to acknowledge that family socioeconomic status doesn’t solely affect wealth through education. Inheritance and social networks also play prominent roles in this regard. This is especially true for entrepreneurs, as their investment capabilities and connections are crucial for achieving success in business ventures.

Intellect 

Hence, intelligence, education, and socioeconomic status collectively contribute to an individual’s income. Nevertheless, these factors alone are insufficient to fully explain the disparities in wealth among individuals. Interestingly, a recent study suggests that luck also plays a substantial role.

The study emphasizes that the distribution of wealth differs from the distribution of intelligence. Intelligence tends to follow a “normal distribution,” with most individuals falling close to the average. In contrast, wealth adheres to a “Pareto distribution,” which reveals that 80% of a country’s wealth is controlled by only 20% of the population.

So, are rich people rich because they’re smart? Or are they smart because they’re rich? It’s a chicken-and-egg question. It’s possible that intelligence leads to wealth, or that wealth leads to intelligence. Or maybe it’s a combination of both. The truth is, I don’t really know. But it’s an interesting question to think about.

So, what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Bani: Urwa Zubair’s Thought-Provoking Masterstroke Of Social Significance

Bani : Urwa Zubair's Thought-Provoking Masterstroke Of Social Significance

We struggle as a society with difficulties related to generational and gender gaps and the social pressures and expectations that accompany them. These problems are especially widespread among Middle Eastern and South Asian populations, where cultural norms and traditional beliefs can significantly separate people into different generations and genders. This gap is what the movie “Bani” aims to bridge by cultivating respect and understanding among all viewpoints.

‘Bani’ is primarily a coming-of-age comedy-drama that chronicles the experiences of three sisters who are restrained by rigid social mores. Despite this, they manage to ignore limitations and go for their dreams of happiness and freedom. However, this results in the loss of their childhood.

The movie looks at the pressures men and women have when trying to live up to social expectations. Boys frequently have to shoulder the burden of supporting the family, even if it means putting aside their own interests and aspirations in the process. Girls, meanwhile, frequently feel pressure to act in ways that are approved by society and to conform to particular gender norms.

Through “Bani,” the author and producer Urwa hope to foster a sense of respect and harmony by examining the motivations behind these opinions and ideas. Instead of merely focusing on one or two concerns, such as oppression, inequality, or prejudice, the movie explores the root causes of these problems as well as the reasons behind why individuals feel and think the way they do.

It is only through having this understanding that we can build a society based on empathy and respect for one another that is more peaceful and compassionate. ‘Bani’ is, in Urwa’s opinion, about universal empowerment rather than just female empowerment. We can make the world more amicable for everyone by reducing the gaps between generations and genders.

With fifty commercials under her credit, Urwa is rapidly making a name for herself in the movie business. But what really distinguishes her is her love of narrative and her drive to produce art that engages viewers on a deeper level. ‘Bani’ is Urwa’s attempt to entertain audiences while also encouraging them to consider the problems that concern us all from a critical perspective. Urwa’s involvement in the planning and production of “Bani” demonstrates her sincerity and dedication to producing something that has significance and an impact.

‘Bani’ is not merely a movie. It is a potent and provocative commentary on the social constraints and expectations that everyone, regardless of gender or age, must contend with. A testament to Urwa’s dedication to producing content that not only entertains viewers but also inspires and enlightens them is the work she put into its development and production. It’s a movie that will undoubtedly strike a chord with viewers everywhere and lead to insightful discussions on the world we live in.

What? A Fake Moon Has Been Orbiting The Earth?

On today’s episode of crazy things happening in the world, an asteroid has apparently been shadowing Earth around the sun since 100 BC. Yes, that’s almost more than 2000 years! However, this is just a claim by astronomers and scientists. They thought of the asteroid to be another moon, but they later discovered that it is, in fact, orbiting the sun and not Earth and that would make this asteroid a “quasi-moon” or “fake moon.”

More Information

The asteroid, named 2023 FW13, was first discovered in March 2023 by the Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii. It is about 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter and orbits the sun in a similar path and pace as Earth. This means that it appears to be orbiting Earth, but it is actually orbiting the Sun independently.

2023 FW13 is not the first “quasi-moon” to be discovered. There are a few other asteroids that follow Earth around the sun in this way. However, the 2023 FW13 is the first one to be discovered that has been following Earth for such a long time.

The discovery of the 2023 FW13 is a reminder of the vastness of the solar system and the many objects that we have yet to discover. It is also a reminder that Earth is not the only object in the solar system that is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun.

Alan Harris is a specialist at the Space Science Institute and he had this to say, “Earth plays essentially no role in its motion, it’s in no way associated with Earth other than by chance.” 

Is It Different From Other Such “Moons”? 

Unlike other fake moons, quasi-moons accompany Earth for a short span of a few decades. However, this particular quasi-moon stands out from the rest. By analyzing its orbital data, astronomers have determined that this asteroid has been in close proximity to our planet since approximately 100 BC, coinciding with the birth year of Julius Caesar.
