San Francisco, June 8 (Ians) Tech giant Google has introduced new improvements in its artificial intelligence (AI)-chatbot Bard, including better logic and reasoning skills.
Bard now uses a new technique called “implicit code execution” to recognise computational prompts and run code in the background, the tech giant said in a blogpost on Wednesday.
As a result, it can respond to string manipulation, coding questions and mathematical operations more correctly.
“Our new method allows Bard to generate and execute code to boost its reasoning and math abilities. This approach takes inspiration from a well-studied dichotomy in human intelligence, notably covered in Daniel Kahneman’s book ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’– Athe separation of ‘System 1’ and ‘System 2’ thinking,” it added.
System 1 thinking is fast, intuitive and effortless. On the other hand, System 2 thinking is slow, deliberate and effortful.
With the latest update, the company has combined the capabilities of both Large language models...

New York, March 13 (Ians) People get happy as they earn more, according to a new study which overturns the dominant thinking that money cannot buy happiness.
The study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper, shows that, on average, larger incomes are associated with ever-increasing levels of happiness.
Two prominent researchers, Daniel Kahneman from Princeton University and Matthew Killingsworth from the University of Pennsylvania, surveyed 33,391 adults aged between 18 and 65 who live in the US, are employed and report a household income of at least $10,000 a year.
For the least happy group, happiness rose with income until $100,000, then showed no further increase as income grew. For those in the middle range of emotional well-being, happiness increases linearly with income, and for the happiest group the association actually accelerates above $100,000.
“In the simplest terms, this suggests that for most people larger incomes are associated with greater happiness,” said lead author Killingsworth.

Mass might be Jason Isaacs’ most powerful role to date, as he expertly authors a father’s grief alongside Ann Dowd, Martha Plimpton and Reed Birney. But Fran Krantz’s film is just the latest in perhaps one of the world’s most varied acting careers, that has covered the gamut of human—and otherworldly—experience. As he’ll explain, everyone has their own favorite Jason Isaacs movie…
My First Film Lesson
My first day on a film set was on Dangerous Love, and— no, I can’t tell you that. It’s too rude. My second day on a film set was on The Tall Guy, with Jeff Goldblum. He wasn’t in the shot—wasn’t even in the frame—and yet he stood in a pair of undies on a chair and recited love poetry to try to get himself into the mood for the shot that...

Actor Manoj Chandila is an avid reader and is often seen catching up on his reading between shots on the sets. "I initially began reading fiction, Chetan Bhagat's work in particular. Soon, after reading most of his titles, I began reading Khaled Hosseini and became a big fan of his work, The Kite Runner especially. While it was a tad bit serious, it was definitely a book I couldn't put down," he says.
Manoj says that reading helps him stay calm and is of great help especially in today's times.
"There is a term called mental diet where one must be mindful as to what they watch or imbibe into their lives. To do so, one must always be out there seeking knowledge, be it in form of listening, watching or even reading. I believe that one should always utilise the extra time in hand to know or learn something new.

Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajputs brother-in-law Vishal Kirti feels we should not be impatient about why the investigating agencies have not yet reached a conclusion in the probe of his death.
"Sushant never stopped learning and growing despite the challenges he was facing in his life and neither should you. The investigative agencies are doing their jobs and we should focus on doing honorable things to commemorate Sushant," Vishal Kirti tweeted from his unverified account on Monday, which marks six months of Sushant's demise.
Vishal Kirti opened up on Twitter speaking on behalf of the late actor, suggesting what Sushant Singh Rajput would have expected from his extended family had he been alive.
"6 months have passed since Sushant's passing. Stepping into his shoes, I'll try imagining what @itsSSR would have asked of his extended family: To read more, to be more discerning, to educate yourselves in the nuances of interdisciplinary studies.

United Talent Agency has signed Cindy McCain in all areas, the agency announced Thursday.
McCain’s daughter, The View panelist Meghan McCain is another prominent client.
Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain, is an advocate of early childhood education and activist in the fight against human trafficking, UTA said in today’s announcement. McCain, meanwhile, said she is “thrilled to work with UTA to leverage my charitable passions” and carry on her husband’s legacy, hoping to reach new audiences.
McCain was in the news last month after President Trump renewed his attacks on her husband, complaining he gave the late Arizona Gop senator the kind of funeral he had wanted, but never got thanks for it. That was factually inaccurate in that it is not up to Potus if a deceased senator lies in state in the Capitol, and not up to Potus what funerals are held at National Cathedral,...

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. • I Timothy 6:10
Vast marketplaces, comic conventions these days, and that has its upside, certainly. You get to complete your collections by visiting the used comics dealers and maybe see something you didn’t know exists but would enjoy owning and out comes the wallet or, increasingly, the credit card and the deal is done.
I don’t want to get all new-agey on you, but I think it’s good for us to interact with the universe of which we’re a part and money is a way to do that; you’re exchanging whatever effort got you the money for food, clothing, shelter, comic books…you know –life’s necessities All good.
The problem comes when money ceases too be a medium of exchange and becomes an end in itself.
But don’t you dare take my word for it!
