"Mark Zuckerberg said sorry to families during Senate hearing".

 

Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families over social media harms in contentious Senate hearing.

Zuckerberg stood to apologize to the families in the hearing room, saying: “I’m sorry for everything you have all been through. No one should go through the things that your families have suffered and this is why we invest so much and we are going to continue doing industry wide efforts to make sure no one has to go through the things your families have had to suffer."

What safety advocates are saying:

With growing claims that social media can hurt young users, including worries that it risks driving them to depression or even suicide, some online safety advocates at the hearing said the apologies from tech executives fell far short.

Free Electricity For 10 Million Households, Pradhanmantri Suryoday Yojana:

   PM Modi launched the 'Pradhanmantri Suryoday Yojana,' offering free rooftop solar to 10 million     households. Know the cost savings and the benefits under the scheme.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 23, 2024 announced the initiation of the 'Pradhanmantri Suryoday Yojana,' aiming to provide free rooftop solar installations to 10 million households in the country. “This will not only reduce the electricity bill of the poor and middle class, but will also make India self-reliant in the energy sector," he said. At present, only citizens in the below poverty line (BPL) category are eligible for the scheme.

Costs And Savings

A solar rooftop system only incurs initial capital investment and maintenance costs. Installation expenses typically range from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh for an average household requiring 3-5KW setup. 

The government has set a target of 40 GW annual solar power generation for the next five years to reach a 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030. Cumulative installed capacity in the rooftop solar segment in the country has crossed 10 GW as of December 2023.

Also, the rooftop solar adoption hasn’t gained the desired momentum due to lack of easy finance, which is expected to get rectified with the PM Suryoday Yojana.

Latest Report: "Evan Mobley of the Cavaliers is "rising toward" his Monday return".

Cleveland. Om's Chris Fedor writes that the Cleveland forward "is expected to get the medical go-ahead Monday night" for the Cavaliers' matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The 22-Year-Old Big Man has been out for the Cavaliers’ last 22 games. He did not play in the first four games of this stretch due to a left knee injury, then the following 18 contests due to undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body on December 18.

When Cleveland announced that Mobley would be undergoing surgery, the team said that he would miss between six and eight weeks. Tomorrow night’s game against the Clippers, who own the NBA’s best record since Garland’s and Mobley’s injury announcements, will take place six weeks to the day of Mobley’s procedure.

 Additionally, Fedor writes that “Mobley is expected to get the medical go-ahead Monday night.” Cleveland fans are hoping that he is indeed cleared, so the team can get a member of last season’s

Reels vs. shorts: "The battle for power in the world of digital media".

Brands have the chance to create video clips with YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, which can be used to connect with viewers and increase brand awareness. While the fact that every platform has advantages of its own, the best method is to use the two to build an effective content strategy.

• Thanks to YouTube Shorts' artificial marketing of Shorts material to users based on their interests, the platform can help grow its audience. The YouTube app's Shorts camera allows users to add text overlays, music, and filters to their videos. Thanks to their excellent clarity and frame rates, Shorts lets you make videos up to 60 seconds long that are of higher quality than Reels.

• Instagram Reels can be cross-posted on Facebook, which makes it easy for companies to reach more people. Reels come with an extensive variety of options for editing videos, effects, and speed changes. It is also possible for many videos to make smooth changes. Videos up to 90 seconds in duration can be uploaded. As a result, the business has more time to give viewers value by clearly expressing the message and properly displaying its goods and services.

"Is AI (Artificial Intelligence) starting to replace humans?"

 As they switch to AI, tech companies are cutting thousands of jobs.

Artificial intelligence sees significant investment from tech businesses, and some employees are already feeling the effects.

As it invests greatly in AI, SAP is the latest major company in the IT industry to lay off workers. This week, the German software company announced that it is spending over $2 billion on bringing AI into its business activities as part of a "transformation program." Moreover, the business announced on Tuesday that it intends to remake 8,000 jobs. While some employees may be trained again to work with AI, others will be laid off. 

According to the corporation, it plans to have about the same number of employees at the end of the year as it does now. We are aware that firms made significant investments in generative AI in 2023," he said . It means that they may be firing employees and that they have chosen to invest less in particular jobs. However, it also proves that AI is a factor in the roles they are hiring for. Not that jobs are replaced by AI, either. 

According to Netzer, businesses are only carrying out their regular practices, which involve employing more employees with expertise in quickly growing industries and firing individuals whose talents may be less valuable or don't directly contribute to revenue development. For instance, he stated that Microsoft may choose to reduce the amount of computer hardware it produces, such as keyboards, as it makes investments in AI.
