The mobile phone has gone from being a minor item that we carry with us only for emergencies – the beginning of the end for phone kiosks – to becoming an extension of ourselves. It is clear that everyone customizes it to his liking, from the wallpapers to the melodies, tones, the applications they use, etc. As well as the way you save your contacts in the phonebook. WhatsApp tricks There are those who write the name of the other person as it is; There are those who add things like the name of the school or university with which that person happened to distinguish it from another with the same name; There are those who give funny, affectionate or bad nicknames. This also happens in WhatsApp of course. Have you ever wondered How do your contacts/nicknames call you on WhatsApp? Under what name (and photo) was your number registered? You can find out this way. There is a certain element to this “trick”: that it doesn’t need to install anything extra, and it’s valid for both Android and iOS because it’s ultimately a function within the app itself. But it requires your contact’s cooperation, because by itself you can’t…

- Tourism bodies urge strict adherence to new measures The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) and the Tourism & Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) are urging members of the hospitality sector, as well as patrons to adhere to the recently stipulated guidelines outlined in the National Emergency Safety Measures No. 20.  Through these measures, supported by the Laws of Guyana, the Government has embarked on a more multifaceted, strategic approach to ensure that Guyana achieves herd immunity. By reaching its 80% – 85% vaccination target, Guyana, and by extension, its tourism and hospitality sectors will be able to resume some semblance of normalcy again as it works towards a safe reopening and operations.  Director of the GTA, Carla James-Vantull reinforced the importance of persons becoming vaccinated and reassures stakeholders in the sector that the GTA is noting the continued challenges with operating during these trying times and available to provide whatever support that they may need during this time –  “The GTA recognises the challenges that establishments have been facing since the implementation of these measures and would like to commend those establishments that have taken the necessary steps to ensure that their businesses provide safe services. As safety measures are…

It took a literal insurrection to get Donald Trump kicked off Twitter.What will it take for Kari Lake? She's emulating him in every other respect on social media. Why not that right-wing badge of honor?Twitter banned Trump after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, “due to the risk of further incitement of violence." Rather than run away from the former president's irresponsible behavior, some right-wing politicians have embraced it.It's not just a point of pride. It's a potential point of profit, a chance to whine erroneously about "censorship" in the next fundraising letter. Twitter hasn't helped matters by applying punishment willy-nilly, with vague explanations for who gets suspended or banned and why.Kari Lake, the former Fox 10 Phoenix news anchor running as a Republican for governor of Arizona, is taking advantage of Twitter's inconsistency with a string of irresponsible tweets that have no business on Twitter or anywhere else. It's the best of both worlds for her. She can tweet Trump-like nonsense to appease her followers.Whether it's telling college students to defy mask mandates on their campuses, her support of the Arizona audit of the 2020 election or even something as silly as taking a sledgehammer to TVs showing CNN and saying, "It's time to…

Initiative aims to better match job seekers to employers amid workforce transformationPublishedAug 15, 2021, 5:00 am SGT A scheme that encourages hiring based on skills instead of paper qualifications has been launched to better match job seekers to employers - part of a "all hands on deck" push to support workers and firms in coping with changes driven by Covid-19 and workforce transformation. Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said LinkedIn's new Skills Path initiative can help employers look past traditional criteria like degrees and past designations, and focus on skills that the worker has. "This helps them broaden their talent pool and build a more diverse workforce," he said. Backed by the National Jobs Council, the initiative will see LinkedIn suggest suitable opportunities to job seekers on its platform from next month based on their proven skills. Job seekers pursuing roles through the programme can pick up the required skills with free learning courses on the professional social network and validate their skills after that. Companies participating in the initiative include CapitaLand, foodpanda, Lazada, NTUC Enterprise, OCBC Bank and Zuellig Pharma. Currently, six types of roles will be available under Skills Path: customer service personnel, data analysts, project managers,…

Tayler Ryan, 21, sold the tiny blue outfit she wore on the night out that landed her and pals in hot water, listing it with the description: 'Won’t wear again'Model Tayler Ryan, of Barrow, Cumbria, was one of three young women who partied with Wayne Rooney (Image: TIM STEWART NEWS LIMITED)A Snapchat model who was pictured with a sleeping Wayne Rooney in a hotel room is flogging the outfit she wore during the saga. Tayler Ryan, 21, has sold the tiny blue skirt and top set she wore on the now notorious night out which ended with her being pictured with the Derby County manager. Ms Ryan was among a group of young women who found themselves in the spotlight after their pictures with the fully clothed former England ace seemingly asleep in his chair went viral. They told reporters they had been "stunned" when the married footballer's group invited them to join their party for drinks in a VIP area in Manchester. The viral snaps then led to a police probe and the young women faced vile death threats on social media. Ms Ryan this week scored £40 for her outfit that night, after listing it on platform Depop…

Source: https://eng.snap.com/applying_gpu_to_snap/ Machine learning (ML) and Artificial intelligence (AI) have transformed how industries make business decisions. Many firms are now leveraging ML and AI to compile consumer data and analyze and predict future consumer behaviour. This has allowed them to process high volumes of data rapidly and accurately and analyze valuable insights to take promising actions for their business.  In their recent blogs, Snap shares their experience of applying GPU technology to accelerate ML model inference. The inference is the computation-intensive process of calculating model predictions (like the probability of a Snapchatter watching the complete video) from input features (like the number of videos viewed by Snapchatter in the past hour).  This is a challenging task for firms like Snap, having a community of over 293 million Snapchatters daily and creating over 10 trillion ML predictions daily.  ML models on Snapchat are based on deep neural networks (DNN), which makes them so accurate but also computationally heavy. They use a highly scalable and efficient inference stack within the x86-64 CPU ecosystem to overcome this problem. And soon after the launch of inference-oriented accelerators like the NVidia T4 GPU device, they started to investigate whether it can offer a better tradeoff…

TVNZCelebrities attempt to mime out the titles for movies, TV shows, songs, books, plays and quotations in local game show Give Us A Clue.Tom Sainsbury, aka “Snapchat dude”, is a comedian, actor and writer known for his hilarious Snapchat impressions of people, including of former MP Paula Bennett. He lives with his partner in Auckland’s Ponsonby. This is how he spends his Sundays. I’m trying to get into the concept of having a rest day. Sundays used to be filled with rehearsals and work, and now I’m trying to embrace having a day off even though, psychologically, I find it hard. I wish I could work all the time, but you can’t. I read this quote: If you don’t take a day off your body will take it off for you. A chill day really does lift the rest of the week. Supplied“I’m trying to embrace having a day off even though, psychologically, I find it hard.” 8am I hope I don’t turn into one of those grandads who are up at 5am mowing the lawns, but as soon as the sun comes up, I wake up.
