During its Unpacked event in February, Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy S23 series. Along with a redesigned Galaxy Book, the series—which comes in regular, Plus, and Ultra versions—was announced. Here, you can get a comparison of the latest phones.

A fresh wave of Galaxy S phones will probably be released shortly as well because Samsung’s next Unpacked event is almost here. The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and the highest-spec Galaxy S23 Ultra will almost probably be on display during the event, which is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on Wednesday. If rumors are to be believed, that is.

We may anticipate seeing a base model along with Plus and Ultra variations once more if Samsung continues the trend it has followed for the previous three generations.

The latest S23 Ultra Introduction film

To further spike our interest, Samsung has also released an impressive ad film for the Samsung S23 Ultra, making sure to inform its audience about some powerful addition in its latest series of the “S” generation including a vision booster that enhances the film experience. Along with that, the ad shows the slick smart shape of the S23 which was already expected but the main twist came when the advertisement mentioned how recycled ocean plastic, and glass were used in the making of Samsung’s latest phone. This was an unexpected an unique marketing strategy to include environmental factors as well. In addition to that the ad highlights the S23 Ultra’s capability to capture clear astro-photos with the raw technology.

Google Announces ChatGPT Rival – Here Are The Details

Image Source: Reuters

Before being made available to the general public in the upcoming weeks, Bard will be used by a handful of testers, the company stated. Bard is based on Google’s huge language model Lamda, which one programmer said had replies that were so similar to humans’ that he thought it may even be sentient.

The IT behemoth also unveiled new AI search engine tools. AI chatbots are made to search information and respond to queries. The most well-known example is ChatGPT. They utilise the internet as a vast repository of knowledge, but there are worries that it may also contain offensive content and misinformation.

Google’s pitch for bard

Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated in a blog post that Bard “seeks to integrate the richness of the world’s information with the strength, intelligence, and creativity of our massive language models.” Although Mr. Pichai emphasized that he intended Google’s AI services to be “bold and responsible,” he did not go into detail about how Bard would be stopped from distributing offensive or dangerous content.

According to him, the platform would initially run on a “lightweight” variation of Lamda that consumes less power and allows for simultaneous usage by more users.

Will Microsoft also play the AI game?

Following widespread rumors that Microsoft will soon integrate the AI chat-bot ChatGPT into its search engine Bing as a result of a multi-billion dollar investment in the company that developed it, OpenAI, Google’s statement comes as a response. Based on data from the internet as it existed in 2021, ChatGPT may respond to queries and fulfill requests in text form. It can produce student essays, news stories, music, speeches, and commercial material. Although it now costs the company a few cents each time someone uses it, it is currently free for users. OpenAI has disclosed a paid tier to go along with free access.

How Would Microsoft Integrate ChatGPT into Its Products?

But experts agree that chat-bots’ ultimate goal is to replace pages of online links with a single, conclusive response in internet searches. According to Sundar Pichai, consumers are now utilizing Google search to pose increasingly complex queries.

For instance, a question about the piano that was frequently asked in the past could have been how many keys it has now is more likely to be if it is harder to learn than the guitar, a question that cannot be answered with certainty right away.

He concluded that AI can be useful in these situations by synthesizing knowledge for topics for which there is no one correct response. Soon, AI-powered Search capabilities will be available that condense complicated data and a variety of viewpoints into simple formats, allowing you to rapidly grasp the larger picture and get more knowledge from the web.

Bio-Engineers Working On Game-Changing Method To Grow Skin

Scientists from Columbia University have devised a plan to solve the problems faced in tissue grafting. According to the latest research done by engineers, they have now found a way to grow skin in a 3D structured pattern that will allow the victims to wear the skin seamlessly like a glove.

3D Engineered Skin 

The skin graft is prepared by using a 3D scan of the target structure such as a human hand. Followed by creating a series of hollow, permeable models with the help of computer-aided designs and 3D printing. The outer surface of the model is then seeded with skin fibroblasts, which generate the skin’s connective tissue, and collagen (a structural protein). Finally, the outside of the mold is coated with a mixture of keratinocytes (cells that comprise most of the outer skin layer, or epidermis) and the inside is perfused with growth media, which support and nourish the developing graft.

According to Hasan Erbil Abaci, Ph.D., assistant professor of dermatology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “Three-dimensional skin constructs that can be transplanted as ‘biological clothing’ would have many advantages. They would dramatically minimize the need for suturing, reduce the length of surgeries, and improve aesthetic outcomes.”

3D Hand Scaffolding 

“As a bioengineer, it’s always bothered me that the skin’s geometry was overlooked and grafts have been made with open boundaries or edges. We know from bioengineering other organs that geometry is an important factor that affects function.”

“We hypothesized that a 3D fully enclosed shape would more closely mimic our natural skin and be stronger mechanically. That’s what we found. Simply remaining faithful to the continuous geometry of human skin significantly improves the composition, structure, and strength of the graft.” He added.

For future development, Abaci mentions the development of custom-made grafts using the patient’s cells. Such grafts can be made by using only a 4X4 mm skin sample. This will allow enough cells which can be cultured and multiplied to create enough skin to cover a human hand.

Hira Mani And Others Get Attacked & Harrassed By A Mob During A Shoot

Recently, with street crime at its peak, no one is safe from robbers and violent mobs. Quite literally. It has been a misconception amongst the public that only the lower class or the middle class is the target of such robbers and theft gangs. However, the incident that took place yesterday with a group of Pakistani celebrities is clearing the misconception. A mob assaulted Nabeel Qureshi, Hira Mani, Gul-e-Rana, and others on Monday while they were in Karachi filming for a new movie. Below is the whole story.

On his social media accounts, Qureshi detailed the terrible incident and claimed that the mob had harassed the cast and crew, stolen mobile phones, and taken other items of equipment. The director of “The Load Wedding” stated in a series of tweets that the attackers were “armed with weapons.” The event happened in the port city’s PIB Colony neighborhood.

 

Nabeel urged officials to take harsh measures against the offenders in order to set an example of the occurrence and guarantee the future safety of the Pakistani artistic community. Mahira Khan, a beloved actress in Pakistan, responded by saying: “This is beyond belief! Who is accountable? Who will be held responsible?” 

Many celebrities and the general public, of course, have shown solidarity for the celebrities and especially the crew members who try to save the actors while putting their own lives at stake. Hira Mani also thanked them and wished them well on her Instagram story.

Is this lack of security and safety a national-level problem now? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Things To Know Before Buying An Electric Car In Pakistan

Things To Know Before Buying An Electric Car In Pakistan

Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a novel concept; instead of gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, many individuals now opt to purchase EVs. You may now select from a variety of solutions that are accessible on the market.

Get to know what really is an electric car

An automobile that runs on electricity is essentially automated and has an electric motor. A car without a diesel or gasoline engine is referred to as a totally electric vehicle. An electric car accelerates similarly to an automatic vehicle when it is in “drive” mode. Vehicles without gears include electric and hybrid.

By pressing the accelerator, energy is transferred from the battery to the electric motor. When the motor is running, the drive shafts cause the wheels to rotate. The engine transforms into an alternator and begins to generate power as the vehicle begins to slow down as it stops. The battery receives this energy and puts it to use once more.

Weigh the costs and benefits of owning one in Pakistan

If you are an environment-compassionate individual, this choice may be easy since compared to conventional automobiles, electric cars produce less air pollution and less greenhouse gas emissions. The degree of environmental friendliness depends on the kind of vehicle and the source of the power. When fueled by the cleanest electrical grids, battery EV emissions are equivalent to those of a vehicle that achieves over 100 miles per gallon. When done solely using renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, an EV’s operation, and charging may be nearly emission-free.

Due to the reduced cost of refilling EVs, the overall cost of ownership of an EV may be less than that of a gasoline-powered car.

Get to know the different types of electric cars.

Battery-powered automobiles (BEV)

These are battery-powered only. The battery is charged by plugging in a source, whether at home, work, or at electric charging stations. These automobiles don’t have engines; instead, batteries power the vehicle and are replenished by outside sources. One such example is the Tesla Model S.

Electric hybrid vehicles (HEV)

These electric vehicles are powered by two separate sources. An engine serves as both the car’s power source and battery charger. The most common hybrid electric vehicle makes in Pakistan are those listed above.

Educate yourself about the components of the EV

Electric cars have 90% fewer moving parts than vehicles powered by internal combustion engines since they don’t need an engine (ICE). Any electrical vehicle needs the following components in order to operate.

Transmission

Why do electric cars require a gearbox if they don’t have gears? It isn’t a “true” transmission because EVs don’t need one to control their power supply. Power is given instantaneously, thus it works at all rpm ranges. The gears seen in electric vehicles are essentially a driving mode selection that was included to meet regulatory requirements.

Electric engine

Electric motors power the wheels of electric cars. Before sending the battery charge to electrical motors, a power control device controls it. These are quite powerful and have great torque and power levels. A single, medium-sized electric motor connected to the wheels or axles may provide more power than a 1500–2000 cc turbocharged internal combustion engine.

Most importantly read the EV policy in Pakistan

The federal cabinet, presided over the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, gave its blessing to the national electric vehicles (EV) policy. This program’s major goal is to have at least 30% of the cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles on American roadways powered by electricity by 2030.

Former Federal Minister for Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam and former Special Assistant to the PM on Information Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan joined Imran Khan to preside over the joint news conference. The major goal of the news conference was to talk about the rising environmental risks in Pakistan. Mr. Malik told the audience that the government is working hard to quickly put the National EV Policy into effect.

iPhone 14 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

iPhone 14 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

One of Samsung’s most powerful smartphones to date is the just-released Galaxy S23 Ultra from South Korea. The smartphone has Samsung’s Dynamic 2X AMOLED display, a brand-new camera sensor, and one of the most potent CPUs available today. The base model of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is available for Rs 2,39,900, but the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra starts at Rs 1,24,999. Here is a full comparison of the two high-end smartphones from Apple and Samsung.

The Display

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and the Galaxy S23 Ultra are significantly unlike in terms of style and display. The iPhone 14 Pro Max sports a flat display and curves around the edges, in contrast to the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s curved display and boxy form.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch XDR OLED screen, whereas the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen. The LTPO screens on the two phones can refresh at rates between 1Hz and 120Hz. When compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a somewhat better pixel density. It also has a greater screen-to-body ratio and a smaller Infinity O notch than Apple’s Dynamic Island.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has Ceramic Shield and is IP68 certified, which provides dust and water resistance, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s glass back panel and display are covered by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2. (up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes on Galaxy S23 Ultra and up to 6 metres on iPhone 14 Pro Max). The Galaxy S23 Ultra also includes an integrated S-Pen.

Performance

The recently released Galaxy S23 Ultra includes 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. It is powered by a modified version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, on the other hand, has an internal A16 Bionic processor and provides up to 1TB of NVMe storage.

According to the Geekbench 5 results, Apple’s most recent chipset triumphs when it comes to CPU performance by a comparable margin. When it comes to the GPU, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performs better than the A16 Bionic in tests like AnTuTu.

Camera

The camera systems of the Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max both receive some significant upgrades. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra has Samsung’s 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor together with a 12MP ultra-wide camera and two 10MP telephoto lenses, enabling 3x and 10x optical zoom, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a triple camera arrangement with a 48MP primary sensor, a 12MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor.

Battery

Apple withheld the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery size, however, it most likely contains a 4,323mAh battery. The Galaxy S23 Ultra, on the other hand, has a 5,000mAh battery and enables 45W rapid charging. Both phones should last all day, but you should wait for our complete review to learn more about the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s actual battery life.

While the Galaxy S23 Ultra ought to perform better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max on paper, we have yet to see how they compare in practice.

Scientists Have A Solution For People Who Are Sick Of Soggy Paper Straws

Sure, paper straws are better for the environment than their plastic counterparts. But they also have a big problem: they get soggy fast. This can make them difficult to use, and downright gag-inducing. However, look no further as scientists have been hard at work finding a way to fix this problem. And they’ve finally come up with a solution that’s sure to please everyone who’s sick of soggy paper straws.

Soggy Paper Straw Coatings 

The use of paper straws has recently gained momentum. However, they are not very practical. Manufacturers have been using other materials including polyethylene or acrylic resin. Meanwhile, Polylactic acid straws and rice straws are also available as alternatives to paper straws. However, the drawback of all these materials that that they do not degrade well in the ocean. While rice straws do offer a more sustainable option as compared to other counterparts, they cost more as well as are very difficult to mass-produce.

The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) has worked on a material that is a well-known biodegradable plastic called polybutylene succinate (PBS). The coating is made by mixing a small number of cellulose nanocrystals to create a coating material. This material is made of the same material as the material of paper. This allows the coating to stick firmly to paper, which is not the case with conventional paper straws.

“This technology is but a small step toward the direction we need to take in this era of plastic. Turning the plastic straw we often use into a paper straw will not immediately impact our environment, but the difference will be profound over time. If we gradually change from using convenient disposable plastic products to various eco-friendly products, our future environment will be much safer than what we now worry about,” says head researcher Dr. Oh Dongyeop in a media release.

Product Testing 

The efficacy of the straws was determined by using them in different kinds of liquids including water, tea, soda, milk, and other beverages that contain fats. The straws were left in liquid for a prolonged period. It was observed that the straws have the potential to withstand hot as well as cold drinks for hours.

Scientists also discovered that their coated straws decomposed in the ocean quickly compared to regular plastic straws and corn plastic straws didn’t decompose after 120 days.

New PTA Taxes Touch The Sky – Here Is The Updated List

Image Source: CNBC

The iPhone tax schedule from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has been modified. Given that these luxury phones continue to be expensive in foreign markets, it is not surprising that these taxes are still relatively high.

Here are the most recent iPhone PTA taxes on CNIC from iPhone 5 to iPhone 14 series:

  • iPhone 5 Series – 7,843
  • iPhone 6 Series – 40,000
  • iPhone 7 Series – 98,088
  • iPhone 8 Series – 110,311
  • iPhone SE 2020 – 64,801
  • iPhone SE 2022 – 60,982
  • iPhone X – 115,298
  • iPhone XR – 95,685
  • iPhone XS -121,973
  • iPhone XS MAX – 124,562
  • iPhone 11 – 99,733
  • iPhone 11 Pro – 122,982
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max 123,838
  • iPhone 12 118,802
  • iPhone 12 Mini 116,037
  • iPhone 12 Pro – 129,531
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max – 122,822
  • iPhone 13 Series -130,000 to 150,000
  • iPhone 14 Series – 145,000 to 155,000

However, keep in mind that these taxes are subject to regular revision. They are also approximations because different market sources give varying prices for the same phone. For people registering these iPhones on their CNIC and passport, PTA has maintained two distinct tax regimes. You can see from the table below that you can pay less in taxes if you register your iPhone using your passport rather than your CNIC. This is due to the government’s desire to assist Pakistanis living abroad. However, those Pakistanis who live in Pakistan and have travelled before can also use this resource.

You can register your iPhone using your passport rather than your CNIC if you have recently returned from an international trip.

Here are the previous PTA taxes on iPhones on Passport: 

  • iPhone 11 -79,167
  • iPhone 11 Pro – 100,302
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max – 101,080
  • iPhone 12 – 96,502
  • iPhone 12 Mini – 93,989
  • iPhone 12 Pro – 109,248
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max – 109,248
  • iPhone 13 Mini -108,979
  • iPhone 13 – 108,979
  • iPhone 13 Pro – 108,979
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max – 108,979
  • iPhone 14 – 107,706
  • iPhone 14 Plus – 107,706
  • iPhone 14 Pro – 115,751
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max – 115,751

We hope you found this updated information helpful. Let us know if revised PTA taxes will stop you from buying an iPhone.

Image Source: Yahoo Finance

Finally, the time has come for you to surprise your partner. But have you prepared his Valentine’s Day surprise yet? You must use this wonderful opportunity to express your love to your mate before it is too late, therefore hurry before it is too late. What then is holding you back from moving forward? Well, if you are running out of ideas, don’t worry. The top methods to surprise your Valentine on this particular day are listed in this post. So, let’s get going.

Image Source: Pinterest

1. Give Them A Handwritten Note 

You don’t believe that handwritten notes are obsolete, do you? Because they are so uncommon, they are valued. This is your chance to leave a lasting impact. Make a list of everything you enjoy about them, express your gratitude to them for all the times they have stood by you, and list all the silly things you two do together that make you laugh. Create emojis, make miniature drawings, and add plenty of kisses. The note can be kept in their drawer, pillow, or somewhere else that they won’t see right away. We assure you that they will treasure it no matter how you believe you sound.

2. Catch A Show Of Their Favorite Band 

You probably have a favorite song that perfectly captures your special bond and a favorite band that writes songs with you in mind. Find out if the band is playing in your city or a nearby city, whether you and your partner enjoy the same band or other ones. Purchase tickets, act like you have other plans, just like in the game, and then surprise them. The excitement of seeing your favorite band live with your significant other is the kind of experience that tends to stick in one’s mind for a very long time.

3. Organize A Short Trip 

You must choose a location. The ideal is a wonderful, peaceful area outside of the city. To avoid traffic and enjoy the breeze in your hair while traveling, leave early in the morning. As soon as you arrive, limit the ceremonies to the absolute minimum. Focus on the two of you and ignore the city and your everyday tasks. They would undoubtedly appreciate all the work you put into it as a result of this. Not to mention, it is definitely Instagram-worthy. The sole consideration is that it shouldn’t be overly packed. To avoid last-minute rushes and price increases, this kind of vacation must be reserved in advance.

4. Re-Create Your First Date 

Bring it back to the starting point! Go back to the location of your first date (or simply recreate the “feel” if you’ve since moved away) and reflect on how far you’ve come from that nerve-wracking first evening. Dinner and a movie are classics for a reason, despite the fact that they may appear simple. In addition, when was the last time you left the couch to watch a movie in a theatre?

5. Enjoy Some Romantic Stargazing 

Is there a more romantic activity than gazing at the stars as a couple? To remain warm, bring blankets and a thermos of hot cocoa.

6. Eat Breakfast in Bed

As they say, the route to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Make some waffles or pancakes and dress them up with strawberries and whipped cream. Even some chocolate syrup can be used. With some toast, scramble some eggs and make a delicious cheese omelet. Above all, remember to drink your morning coffee! When it’s finished, put the meal, some roses, and a sweet letter on the bed tray.

7. Slow Dance to Your Song 

Don’t we all have music that conjures up our first romantic encounter? Remember the early days when you were both jittery and giggly and holding hands gave you the jitters while also making you feel warm and cozy? Oh, those wonderful days! Play your song and slow dance to it to get them back.

8. Stay in Bed All Day (& Night) 

Do you frequently feel as though you are drifting apart? There is this gap that continues getting wider when you try to communicate and connect because there just appear to be too many other things to do, such as running a household and having demanding careers. Now re-connect! This Valentine’s Day, skip all the chores, take the day off, and spend the afternoon and evening in bed. Talk, hug, slander, laugh, and do a lot more *wink wink*. The difference will be apparent right away.

9. Get a Couples Massage 

One of the most popular services at opulent spas all around the world is a couples massage. What could be more romantic than cuddling up next to your spouse, significant other, or dating partner in the most tranquil setting? If a full-body massage isn’t your cup of tea, consider a relaxing foot massage, in which a professional will stroke your feet.

Turkey And Syria Face Catastrophic 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake

On Monday, today, the region was shaken by one of the largest earthquakes to hit Turkey in more than a century, which caused buildings to collapse and citizens to flee onto the streets, killing at least 200 people in two nations. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles) beneath the surface, 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi in the Gaziantep province. In addition to Syria and Lebanon, other nations affected by the earthquake included Turkey, Syria, and Nurdagi.

Turkey’s disaster management organization, AFAD, reports that at least 76 people have died and more than 440 have been hurt. According to a Health Ministry official quoted by the Syrian state-run news agency SANA, at least 42 people have been killed and almost 200 more have been injured in neighboring Syria. According to SANA, deaths were recorded in Syria’s Aleppo, Hama, and Latakia. The “White Helmets” organization, formally known as Syria Civil Defense, claims that dozens of people are trapped beneath the debris.

Residents were probably asleep when the earthquake hit and were unprepared for the impact. Numerous toppled buildings could be seen in social media videos, along with terrified locals hiding on the pitch-black streets. By flashlight, rescue personnel can be seen undertaking search and rescue operations. Twitter has been flooded with people posting videos of the destruction, well-wishers for Turkey, and even cries for help.

The people who still have access to the internet are also sharing videos and images of the aftermath of the earthquake. Many areas of Turkey have lost access to electricity and other necessities. People are still stuck under the rumble of debris and others cannot get out of their houses due to the chaos and destruction outside. The earthquake has caused natural gas pipelines to burst and cause huge fires in Amik plain in Hatay.

Further, Twitter has also been receiving footage from Syria and Lebanon where the tremors felt as well. People are still stuck under debris and help is being delayed because of the conditions becoming more worse and chaotic as time passes.

Suleyman Soylu, Turkey’s interior minister, said that teams have been sent to the south of the nation to conduct search and rescue operations. The European Union’s humanitarian program, the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC), claimed that the disaster agency, AFAD, has asked for assistance from abroad. According to its governor, Ali Yerlikaya, Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city, has sent out close to 1,000 search and rescue volunteers.

In less than a minute after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck, the journalist Eyad Kourdi of the city of Gaziantep told CNN that there were up to eight “extremely violent” aftershocks, which caused the possessions in his home to fall to the ground. He said that many of his neighbors had evacuated their homes after the earthquake.

Davut Gul, the governor of Gaziantep, tweeted that “the earthquake was felt powerfully in our city” and urged people to wait outside of their homes and maintain composure. “Let’s calmly wait outside, please. Don’t let’s drive our cars. Do not congest the key thoroughfares. Let’s not overuse the phones”, he said.

New news says that the seismic waves maybe reach Japan.

The Neglect Of Arts In Pakistan; A Cultural Tragedy

Image Source: Islamabad scene

It is disheartening to see that art and culture are not given the importance they deserve in Pakistan. This is not just because art is a beautiful form of expression, but also because it is a powerful tool for safeguarding our society and culture. Let’s take a closer look at why neglecting arts can be so damaging.

Understanding The Lack Of Priority Given To Arts

It is important to first understand why art is neglected in Pakistan. There are several reasons for this, but the most significant one is the lack of priority given to arts by the government and the general public. In a society where education and getting ahead in life are considered more important, the arts are often seen as a luxury that can be afforded once other priorities have been taken care of.

This lack of priority has led to a decline in the arts sector in Pakistan. The shortage of funds adds to the dilemma which means that artists struggle to make a living from their work. There are also few opportunities for artists to showcase their work, which means that their talents often go unrecognized. And finally, there is a lack of appreciation for the arts among the general public, which means that people are not interested in investing in them.

Impact Of Neglect On Arts

Art and culture are an integral part of any society. They reflect the values and aspirations of a people. When these are sidelined or ignored, it sends a message that they are not important. This has been the case with arts in Pakistan.

The lack of government support and funding has led to a decline in the quality and quantity of arts being produced. There is also a lack of infrastructure, which hampers artistic expression. Young artists find it difficult to pursue a career in the arts, as there is no infrastructure or system to support them. This lack of support has had a negative impact on Pakistani society as a whole. The Arts are an important means of expression, and when they are sidelined or ignored, it surely doesn’t put the cultural values at the forefront which can result in cultural heritage going afloat.

The discussion around arts not only makes us appreciate its importance but also helps to shape opinions and conversations about it. Such conversations are significant because they create a space for dialog which allows us to confront topics that might not have been addressed earlier due to a lack of resources or an absence of public discourse. These engagements help to deepen our understanding of the art form as well as create support for marginalized communities in the process.

Will ChatGPT Destroy Google Soon?

Even though ChatGPT has had a significant impact since its inception in November, a well-known computer engineer thinks we’ve merely scratched the surface. Paul Buchheit, the developer of Gmail, tweeted that OpenAI’s Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) may put Google out of business in “a year or two” after it made its debut.

The Search Engine Result Page, which is where they generate the majority of their revenue, will be eliminated by AI, according to Buchheit. Even if they catch up with AI, they won’t be able to completely use it without ruining their most important asset.

Buchheit’s prediction

He continued by providing a thorough description of how Google’s demise may transpire:

He pictures this as the URL/Search bar of the browser being replaced with AI that autocompletes my thinking or query as we enter it and also provides the most appropriate response (which may be a link to a website or product). The AI will exploit the outdated search engine backend to compile pertinent data and links, which will then be summarized for the user. It’s similar to asking a trained human researcher to complete a task, except that AI will complete it in a fraction of the time.

Buchheit makes a valid point, but the internet has been predicting Google’s death ever since ChatGPT appeared. A large portion of Google’s income comes from advertising. You see advertising when you search on Google, which is how Google generates money. But why would anybody ever Google again if an AI can perfectly answer every inquiry you have without presenting a page full of links (and adverts) on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP)?

Therefore, even if Google soon introduces its own ChatGPT substitute, it will be driving users away from its primary revenue stream.

The SERPs are here for a while

It’s difficult to think that SERPs will go out of style anytime soon. How frequently do you look for reviews of a brand-new film, television program, or video game and click on several links to examine a range of viewpoints? Or browse product listings to discover the choice that best satisfies your needs? Despite this, the majority of us almost ever scroll past the first page of search results.

What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments below.

‘IO’ Movie Review – Will Humans Actually Have To Escape To Jupiter?

The earth has become toxic in a post-apocalyptic world, and the majority of people have fled to one of Jupiter’s moons, IO. Sam Walden, a young scientist, has stayed behind and committed her life to figure out how humans may survive on Earth. Micah shows up there after she makes a radio transmission to try if she can find anyone else. He plans to board the last shuttle to IO in 48 hours because he doesn’t think there is any chance of surviving. Here is the trailer.

Io is a 2019 American science fiction film directed by Jonathan Helpert. It stars Margaret Qualley, Anthony Mackie, and Danny Huston. It was released on January 18, 2019, by Netflix.

Plot 

One of the few individuals still living on Earth is Sam Walden. She tries to produce bees that can survive in the environment while living alone at a high altitude where the air is still breathable. Her goal is to someday use bees to clear the air by pollinating plants that produce oxygen. She is urged to board the final shuttle out of Earth by her long-distance boyfriend, who resides on the Io station. All of Sam’s bees are killed by a toxic cloud that a storm generates and flows through her hive. Shortly after, Micah, a man traveling by helium balloon, appears. Sam’s father, Dr. Harry Walden, had pushed people to stay because he still saw hope, but he first wants to talk with him before making his way to the launch site and leaving Earth.

Sam initially claims that her father is working somewhere on a field project. But after a day, she says that her father passed away the year before. Hearing this, Sam apathetically agrees to Micah’s plan to accompany Sam to the space shuttle. Sam records a message informing everyone on Earth that Dr. Walden’s attempt to clean the planet was ultimately unsuccessful and that everyone should leave, and go to Io, after receiving a message from her boyfriend saying goodbye because he is part of an expedition leaving on a 10-year journey to an exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri.

Sam and Micah get closer as they prepare and wait for the ideal wind conditions, falling in love. They also find out that Sam’s hive produced a new queen bee that is resistant to the noxious air. They are informed that the shuttle launch has been moved to a new, farther-off location. In order to get the helium they need for the voyage, they drive into a metropolis that is engulfed in a poisonous atmosphere. After locating the helium, Sam goes to an art gallery by himself. Knowing that she is losing oxygen, Micah chases after her. Sam takes off her mask and breathes the poisonous air in an attempt to survive rather than transferring to a new tank.

Sam is not poisoned by the new surroundings, unlike the new queen bee in her colony. She is seen standing alone on a beach in the final moments of the movie before being joined by a tiny child, who is probably Micah’s son. The Earth is described as being lovely, that people who have left the world will have come to fear it, and that they are waiting for them to come back in a voice-over message from Sam to Micah.

Can The IO Theory Be Real? 

Real climate change is happening. The weather in our world is changing quickly, and this has an impact on life. Without human intervention, climate change could worsen to the point that life on Earth would be threatened. The level of greenhouse gases could rise to the point where our atmosphere fundamentally changes. The most ominous danger that climate change poses to our world is addressed in the film.

So the film may or may not be a real possibility in the future but it is certainly a good watch. It is available on Netflix for viewers to watch.

Electric Cars To Improve Lung Health – Here’s How

Source: American lung association

According to recent research by the American Lung Association, a significant switch to electric vehicles and clean power infrastructure in the US might save tens of thousands of lives over the coming decades.

By 2050, the paper estimates that a reduction in emissions from power plants and tailpipes might avert up to 110,000 premature deaths. 13.4 million lost workdays and 2.78 million asthma episodes would also be avoided. The benefits to public health would total $1.2 trillion in total.

Can EVs save the environment

That’s supposing that by 2035 all new passenger cars sold in the US will be EVs and that by 2040 all new heavy-duty vehicles sold will be EVs. Furthermore, a grid free of fossil fuels would be required to power such automobiles. But it still remains almost difficult to replace the great majority of the roughly 280 million automobiles and trucks now on the road in the country with electric vehicles in such a short amount of time. Despite their rising popularity, just 3% of new automobiles bought in the US in 2021 will be electric.

Cutting down emissions

Health advocates contend that a safe environment ought to be a given. Pediatrician and American Lung Association volunteer Afif El-Hasan said in a press conference: “I can advise [my patients] to limit their time spent outside to limit the pollution they are breathing; I can’t ensure that they have clean, healthy air to breathe — and that is incredibly frustrating to me.” Every kid should have the opportunity to play and grow in a secure environment. That should never be up for discussion.

The American Lung Association examined how phasing out fossil fuel combustion from the transportation and electricity sectors might reduce important pollutants for its latest study. This includes smokestack and tailpipe emissions of sulphur dioxide, soot, smog-forming nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and so on.

The authors of the paper also looked at non-exhaust emissions, another form of pollution that sometimes goes unnoticed but is still a problem with electric vehicles. This comprises dust particles released into the atmosphere as a result of road and vehicle wear and tear, such as from tyres or brake pads. The prevalence of this kind of pollution demonstrates why more walkable communities and improved public transit are crucial for a healthier future by reducing reliance on driving.

The paper emphasizes the advantages to the health of reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. By accelerating the chemical process that creates smog and escalating pollution from wildfires, a rising climate has an impact on air quality. According to a new industry-commissioned study conducted by the German Aerospace Center, e-bikes, scooters, and other light electric vehicles can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions when they replace cars.

Official Lahore Qalandar Logo Found On Adobe Stock – Where’s The Originality?

Source: INCnet

The Lahore Qalandars’ new uniform logo, created by club skipper Shaheen Afridi, stunned the cricketing community with its understated yet high-quality design.

While some Lahore Qalandars supporters were thrilled with the original artwork, their joy was short-lived as it became clear that the emblem was simply lifted from the stock image website AdobeStock.

Lahore Qalandars’ egregious error not only generated controversy on social media but also raised doubts about their moral character because they claimed that Shaheen Afridi himself had created their stolen emblem.

The new uniforms for the next eighth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) would be created by the captain, according to earlier information from Lahore Qalandars CEO Atif Rana. A component of the new kit’s design was the logo.

In addition to the error, many supporters expressed their displeasure with the new emblem, arguing that it better captured the essence of Lahore Qalandars and had more personality.

The new Lahore uniforms will be presented in the coming days as the team gets ready for the upcoming PSL season. On February 13, Lahore and Multan Sultans will square off in the opening match of the competition.

Lack of creativity becoming a normal practice in Pakistan?

The use of another trademark, company name, product labeling, or packaging without authorization is severely prohibited by Pakistan’s consumer protection laws.

The continued use of unauthorized trademarks by a large number of outlets and retailers in Pakistan has the potential to harm the reputation and commercial interests of a large number of legitimate outlets and cause confusion among a large number of customers by disseminating false and misleading information about the nature, qualities, origin, and quality of products through the illegal use of similar/identical logos and trademarks of various luxury brands.

The outlets and retailers in Pakistan should immediately cease marketing their goods in an unfair and deceptive way and be urged to switch to marketing strategies that are open and provide customers with accurate and true information about the product in the interest of the general public and fair competition in the market. The guiding principles of trademark law are

If a trademark has been legitimately adopted by a business, it does not always stay his property. He will only continue to be the owner of the mark while using it in the course of his business; once he stops using it, he will ultimately lose all ownership rights to the mark.
