Apple is testing a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot

According to a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is making significant strides in the development of artificial intelligence tools to rival the likes of OpenAI and Google. Internally referred to as "Apple GPT," the tech giant has created a chatbot using its proprietary framework called "Ajax." This framework, built on Google Cloud with Google JAX, enables the creation of large language models similar to ChatGPT and Google's Bard. While Apple is yet to finalize its strategy for consumer release, it is reportedly planning a major AI-related announcement next year.

The discovery of Gravitational Waves.

वैज्ञानिकों ने अंतरिक्ष में गुरूत्वीय तरंगों की ऐतिहासिक की: वैज्ञानिकों ने 11 फरवरी 2016 को घोषणा की कि उन्होंने अंतत: उन गुरूत्वीय तरंगों की खोज कर ली है, जिसकी भविष्यवाणी महान वैज्ञानिक आइंस्टीन ने एक सदी पहले कर दी थी। ब्रह्मांड में जोरदार टक्करों के कारण पैदा होने वाली इन तरंगों की खोज खगोलविदों को इसलिए उत्साहित कर रही है क्योंकि इससे ब्रह्मांड का अवलोकन उसकी क्रमबद्धता में करने का एक नया रास्ता खुल गया है। इस नयी खोज में खगोलविदों ने अत्याधुनिक एवं बेहद संवेदनशील लेजर इंटरफेरोमीटर ग्रेविटेशनल वेव ऑबजर्वेटरी (लीगो) का इस्तेमाल किया, जिसकी लागत 1.1 अरब डॉलर है। लीगो की मदद से उन्होंने दूर दो ब्लैक होल के बीच हुई हालिया टक्कर में पैदा हुई गुरूत्वीय तरंग का पता लगाया। गुरूत्वीय तरंगों की सबसे पहली व्याख्या आंइस्टीन ने वर्ष 1916 में अपने सापेक्षिता के सामान्य सिद्धांत के तहत की थी। ये चौथी विमा दिक्-काल में असाधारण रूप से कमजोर तरंगें हैं। जब बड़े लेकिन सघन पिंड, जैसे ब्लैक होल या न्यूट्रॉन स्टार आपस में टकराते हैं तो उनके गुरूत्...

📍 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FDI and FPI

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FDI and FPI #Stockmarket 💡 FDI is involved in setting up firms to produce goods and services. That is why it is called 'direct' institution. FPI on the other hand buys financial assets for profits. In order to remove the ambiguity that prevails on what is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and what is Foreign Institutional Investment (FII), it was decided to follow the international practice and lay down a broad principle that, where an investor has a stake of 10 percent or less in a company, it will be treated as FII and, where an investor has a stake of more than 10 percent, it will be treated as FDI. 💡 Since the source of funds is not revealed, the PNs are potentially unsafe. Therefore, SEBI imposed certain conditions like limits on the PNs that a single FII can issue, etc. SEBI wants the PN holders to register with SEBI and invest directly as India is a long-term growth story. SEBI policy paid off with the number of FIIs registering with the regulator go...
