Reliance Jio Rs.49 Plan And Google I/O 2018

Reliance Jio is now offering 1GB data with free calls at Rs. 49

Reliance Jio has yet again announced the lowest rental plan of Rs. 49 in which it will offer unlimited voice and data for 28 days for JioPhone subscribers. The data pack will be effective January 26 and with the introduction of this new plan the telecom service provider might be turning its focus towards feature phone users.
'JioPhone users will enjoy free voice calls and unlimited data (1GB at high speed) for 28 days at a price of only Rs 49. Jio is also introducing affordable data add-ons at Rs 11, 21, 51 and 101,' the company said in a statement.
'Tariffs charged for feature phone users continue to be exorbitant, while their smartphone counterparts on Jio enjoyed free voice calls and high-speed data at the most affordable tariffs.
The high feature phone tariffs make it impossible for them to even think of using data...Jio has made data affordable for everyone,' the company added.
Besides, the telco as part of its 'Republic Day offer' will double the validity of Rs 98 pack to 28 days from the current 14 days. '...this Republic Day will mark the acceleration towards achieving the vision of Digital Freedom for the 50 crore feature phone users of India. Currently, they can neither afford even the cheapest 4G LTE smartphone nor the exorbitant cost of data and voice charged for 2G services,' Jio said.
Recently, Reliance Jio also decided to offer 500 MB extra data to its subscribers using 1GB and 1.5GB per day data packs with effect from January 26. Mobile data rates will see a further drop to as low as Rs 2.7 per GB with Reliance Jio announcing extra 500 MB data for its users of select plans as part of 'Republic Day offer', as per a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report.
Jio's closest rival Bharti Airtel data cost per GB has dropped to Rs. 4 under its new schemes. The tariff of Rs. 2.7 per GB data is about 99 percent lower compared to Rs 249-259 per GB charged by established big operators till August 2016 -- before the commercial launch of Jio services.
Interestingly this move also comes at a time when 4G VoLTE enabled JioPhone has now been ranked as the No 1 feature phone brand in the quarter to December by shipments, overthrowing market leader Samsung in the segment for the first time. The report has been filed by Counterpoint Research.
Google I/O 2018 to happen from May 8 to May 10
Google has come up with a teaser for its annual I/O Developer's Conference with clues and puzzles. The company usually teases a few upcoming features before the event that is held during summer every year. Back in 2017, Google teased the copyless paste feature before the Google I/O conference and now there are more elaborate clues for the Google I/O 2018.
From the clues that were let out by Google Developers' Twitter account, it looks like the company will hold the conference from May 8 to May 10 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Initially, a coded tweet was posted providing the first clue and it is a picture of a bunch of binary codes.

When converting the binary code to text, it reveals the Google I/O URL.
On visiting the website, Google presents you with the Google Street View of what appears to be the reception area of the Developers building. On moving around the area and looking for clues as in an escape room game or a treasure hunt puzzle, you will get to further details. However, you will play the game in Google Street View instead of the real world.
Inside the building, you can get several clues thrown here and there such as a calendar with the date August 5, a plate of Sushi, a book called Sister Carrie written by Theodore Dreiser, and more. You need to use the clues to enter the building further and the game goes on.
Initially, you will have to unlock a door with the password that could be a derivation from the clues as most of them have a similar theme - Sister and Japan. On unlocking the door, the Google Street View will take you to a conference room that is filled with further clues. The first clue in the conference room is a pineapple cake hinting that this could be the name of the next iteration of Android after Oreo. So would it be Android 9.0 Pineapple Cake? Well, we need to wait to know the same.
After spending enough time to join the clues together, you will get to know the date and location of the Google I/O 2018 conference. And that is from May 8 to May 10 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California as mentioned above.

AI Outperforms Students in Real-World “Turing Test”

 Artificial intelligence has achieved a significant milestone by outperforming students in a real-world Turing Test. This event highlights the AI's advanced capabilities in generating human-like responses that are indistinguishable from those of actual humans. Key Points: Turing Test: The Turing Test, named after Alan Turing, is a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In this test, evaluators interact with both humans and AI without knowing which is which and attempt to identify them based on their responses. AI Performance: The AI not only matched but surpassed the students' ability to produce coherent and contextually appropriate responses. This was achieved through sophisticated natural language processing and machine learning techniques. Implications: The success of AI in this test indicates a leap forward in conversational AI, with potential applications in customer service, educatio...
