Lately, Pakistan has become that one sketchy town where everything bad happens be it natural disasters, aliens, serial killers, spooky stuff, whatever. Recently, the whole country has been facing the consequences of the fight between political parties over power.

Now Pakistan is on a high weather alert according to the Natural Disaster Management Authority. Even, if we’re talking about the weather in Pakistan nowadays, it has been extremely unpredictable with some events taking place that have never occurred before in the past. Let’s look at what NDMA has warned Pakistani citizens about.

Weather Warning 

Pakistan has been issued a dire warning by the NDMA to prepare for a series of extreme climate events. These events may include intense heat waves, rapid snow melting, landslides, flash floods, forest fires, and even cyclones. The NDMA’s official letter urges provincial governments to take extraordinary and early precautions in order to weaken the effect of these events between April and October.

Previously too, the floods of 2022 were predicted before time because the annual monsoon rains are expected every year. The floods were heavier than usual because of monsoon rains and melting glaciers that followed a severe heat wave, both of which are linked to climate change. However, despite warnings and predictions the lack of efficient and timely efforts but the authorities led to the nation suffering through one of the worst climactic damages ever.

Region Specific Warnings 

To ensure proactive efforts, the NDMA has provided region-specific guidelines to disaster management authorities and stakeholders, urging them to issue impact-based alerts and advisories. The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) have also been tasked with monitoring glacier melt in vulnerable “glacier lake outburst flood” (GLOF) sites and assessing their impact on downstream river flows. They are expected to release monitoring reports on a fortnightly basis.

Sindh, Balochistan, GB, KPK, AJK, 

Specifically, the PMD has forecast higher temperatures in northern regions and along the coastal belt from May to July, affecting Sindh, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan. Additionally, the NDMA has recently also issued a disclaimer following the PMD’s rain-thunderstorm forecast from May 22 to 26. During this period, wind dust, thunderstorms, and rainfall, including possible hailstorms and heavy falls, are expected in various regions of the country.

The affected areas include Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, and parts of Sindh and Balochistan. Cities such as Islamabad, Lahore, Multan, and Faisalabad are among those likely to experience the impact of these weather events.

With all the bad stuff going on in the country, there are a few progressions that Pakistan has been making especially in the province of Sindh. Just last week, the Sindh government decided to introduce new diesel hybrid buses to the already existing lot. This week, it’s the launch of air taxis. Yes! Air taxis are going to be the new means of transportation for people within the next two weeks.

A private company, Sky Wings, in partnership with a foreign investor, has recently revealed this amazing facility in Karachi. The air taxis are set to become operational within the next two weeks, offering their services to the public. Additionally, an agreement has been signed between Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport and the company.

Further Details

Imran Aslam Khan, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Sky Wings Aviation, told that passengers will have the choice of choosing their preferred time and destination using the company’s mobile app, similar to other popular taxi booking applications. He further mentioned that the air taxi service will offer significantly lower fares compared to traditional charter flights. For instance, a trip from Karachi to various cities in Sindh and Balochistan, which typically costs around Rs2.5 million, will be much more affordable with this new service.

Initially, the taxi service will operate with eight aircraft equipped with two to six seats each. However, the company plans to introduce more aircraft in the near future, expanding its aircraft batch to meet the growing demand. Passengers can book the aircraft not only through the dedicated air taxi service app but also through popular transportation apps such as Careem, Uber, and Bykea. Moreover, owners of private jets can also choose to participate in this aerial service.

DA 40 Diamond

Sky Wings Aviation has already expanded its fleet by adding a DA 40 Diamond aircraft manufactured in Germany. This new addition to the fleet has three passenger seats, in addition to the pilot seat, as informed by COO Aslam. Moreover, the German-manufactured aircraft is capable of flying at an impressive speed of 160 knots which is equivalent to approximately 300 kilometers per hour, with just a single refueling.

Khan emphasized that the service aims to cater to a wide range of individuals, including political, religious, and business personalities, as well as professionals like tourists, lawyers, journalists, doctors, and ordinary citizens. The accessibility of aerial taxis will benefit these diverse groups by offering a faster mode of travel. He further emphasized that apart from the convenience factor, this air taxi service has the potential to significantly contribute to the country’s tourism sector, attracting more visitors and boosting tourism overall.

This Firefighting Robot Can Tackle The Most Dangerous Blazes

By
Dr. Rida Qamar
-

The first firefighting robot of its kind was introduced in the Middle East by the UAE-based company FFBOTS. It is based in Jebel Ali Industrial Area. Modern technological features and capacities are present in it.

Wabel – The Robot

The robot, called Wabel, which is Arabic for rain, is an important addition to the work of fire departments and firefighters all over the UAE. Due to its ability to increase their safety and support during firefighting operations. Particularly in hazardous, challenging-to-reach areas or when it comes to physically taxing tasks that could endanger their safety.

The robot augments rather than replaces the job of civil defense in fighting fires and defending people and property. Particularly in high-risk circumstances like those involving closeness to oil and gas reservoirs and extremely combustible objects that cannot be approached.

“Since its inception, the company has sought to locally manufacture, design and assemble robotics technologies. With a focus on attracting local and international competencies and expertise, inspired by its vision and the passion of the founding team. The aspiration of the company’s investors toward AI-based innovations is in line with the vision and directions of the UAE government,” said Mohammed Islam, a robotics expert and CEO of FFBOTS.

“We were keen to ensure spare parts are locally available and maintenance services are delivered by our professional specialists. To meet the needs of the local market at a record speed and up to the highest international standards.” He added.

Wabel Features

The robot is controlled by a control station with a wireless control range of up to 1,000 meters. For controllers to fully utilize all of the robot’s technical capabilities, it features four hose inlets. As well as, GPS built-in routing, maps, and other navigational aids.

Scientists Invent Electronic Skin That Mimics Our Sense Of Touch

By
Dr. Rida Qamar
-

Stanford University researchers have created a ground-breaking electronic skin that gives amputees who use prosthetic limbs a genuine sense of touch, marking a huge advancement in the area of prosthetics. A state-of-the-art skin that simulates nerve impulses that communicate with the brain is equipped with specialized sensors for temperature, pressure, and strain.

Electronic Skin For Prosthetics

Senior author of the study and professor at Stanford University Zhenan Bao told that the next technology might also be used to sense things and feelings while manipulating a robotic limb remotely.

“We’ve been working on a monolithic e-skin for some time,” Professor Bao said. “The hurdle was not so much finding mechanisms to mimic the remarkable sensory abilities of human touch, but bringing them together using only skin-like materials.”

“Much of that challenge came down to advancing the skin-like electronic materials so that they can be incorporated into integrated circuits with sufficient complexity to generate nerve-like pulse trains and low enough operating voltage to be used safely on the human body.” Weichen Wang, a doctoral candidate in Bao’s lab, added.

The team linked the animal’s nervous system to the e-skin, according to New Scientist. The rat’s brain region that controls touch and temperature was then implanted with electrodes. Then the rat’s brain sent messages to the part of the body that governs movement when they applied pressure to the device. The rat’s leg moved when the researchers used an implantable artificial synapse device to send impulses to it.

“You can validate proof of concept into animal models, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be implemented very quickly in humans,” said Stéphanie Lacour, a neuro engineer working on stretchable biomaterials at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

Platforms like Startup Pakistan provide content creators with opportunities to contribute through various forms of content creation, including articles, blogs, and news stories. These digital platforms, including websites, online magazines, and blogs, offer easy access to information, entertainment, and communication.

One of the key advantages of digital media publications is their convenience. With the ubiquity of smartphones, tablets, and computers, readers can access content anytime and anywhere, eliminating the constraints of traditional print media. This accessibility enables individuals to stay informed and entertained on the go.

Digital media publications strategically advertise businesses, startups, and tech content because their primary audience, the young generation, is highly active in the digital realm, particularly in e-commerce. By targeting this tech-savvy demographic, these publications provide a valuable platform for businesses to connect with their desired audience and tap into the vast potential of the digital market.

Furthermore, digital media publications foster interactivity and engagement. Through features like commenting, social media sharing, and user contributed content, readers actively participate in the content creation process. This feedback loop between creators and readers drives continuous improvement, leading to higher quality content and stronger relationships with the audience.

In addition, digital media publications excel in delivering targeted and personalized content to their audiences. Leveraging data analytics and user profiling, platforms can customize content based on individual preferences, interests, and demographics. This tailored approach ensures that readers receive relevant and engaging content, increasing their satisfaction and engagement. Advertisers also benefit from this personalized approach by effectively reaching their desired audience, resulting in higher conversion rates and improved return on investment (ROI).

Unlike traditional print media, digital publications possess the advantage of instant content publishing and updates. Real time capabilities enable timely reporting of news, events, and developments, allowing readers to stay up to date with the latest information. Digital platforms can provide live streaming, real-time updates, and breaking news notifications, establishing themselves as go-to sources for immediate and accurate information.

Digital media publications have a global reach, leveraging the internet’s connectivity to transcend geographical boundaries. Content creators can connect with audiences beyond their local reach, tapping into diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. This global reach creates opportunities for new collaborations, economic growth, and the amplification of marginalized voices.

As digital media publications continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly shape the future of information sharing, communication, and community building. These platforms have revolutionized the way we consume news and content, providing a dynamic and inclusive environment for individuals to connect, learn, and engage.

Transport Canada to Audit Security Measures at Pakistan’s Airports

By

Transport Canada, a well-known security agency from Canada, has recently made an announcement regarding their plans to conduct a comprehensive security audit of the major airports in Pakistan. Now why this decision has been made is completely confusing or it may be completely clear for some other people. This significant step is being taken prior to the commencement of flight operations in Pakistan.

Image Source: Collision Repair Magazine

Now the primary objective of this audit is allegedly to thoroughly evaluate and assess the existing security measures that are in place at Pakistan’s international airports. Transport Canada will begin their detailed investigation at Jinnah International Airport, which happens to be the primary aviation hub located in Karachi. This meticulous examination aims to ensure that the highest standards of security are met and maintained, paving the way for safe and secure air travel in Pakistan.

Saudi, UK, and Oman Aviation Audit

In addition to Transport Canada’s involvement, the Saudi Aviation Authority has also scheduled a security audit for the major airports in Pakistan. On June 6, their team will do the audit, further strengthening the dedication to keeping strong security measures in the Pakistani aviation industry.

Furthermore, towards the end of July, Oman’s security agencies are also slated to conduct an extensive audit of the major airports in Pakistan. Moreover, the United Kingdom’s Department for Transport has also expressed its intention to visit Pakistan in October for a comprehensive security audit.

Now the reason behind these audits could be because of the increasing number of imposters from Afghanistan and other neighboring countries trying to enter Pakistan illegally. This has increased the chances of terrorism and other suspicious activities, especially during such high-alert times in Pakistan from a political and economic aspect.

Sindh’s Minister of Information and Transport, Sharjeel Memon, has shown interest and intentions to grow the fleet of the Peoples Bus Service in Karachi.

The Announcement 

Now this announcement was made during a ceremony that was originally aimed to introduce a diesel-electric hybrid bus manufactured by Yutong Master Company, Sharjeel Memon then assured foreign investors and the local business community that the Sindh government would fully support them and provide necessary facilities to enhance their capacity and productivity.

At the event, representatives from the local manufacturer presented Minister Memon with the key to a diesel-electric hybrid bus. Sharjeel Memon conveyed the message given by former president Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah that public transport has to be modernized throughout Sindh.

He also disclosed plans for the construction of a dedicated bus depot for the transport department, with additional bus depots to be established in the city as per the requirements of the public transport systems. In a recent tweet, he announced that a new fleet of diesel-electric hybrid buses would soon arrive in Karachi, as the model bus has already been received. “The transport department is introducing new transportation projects for the people of Sindh. Insha’Allah (God willing), PPP’s Sindh government will provide maximum transport facilities,” he added.

This initiative will prove to be great for Karachi, especially during these times when pollution and pollution-provoking activities are at their peak. Hopefully, people will also appreciate this and try to keep pollution at a minimum from their side too.

We Compared ChatGPT, Bard And Spouses – Here’s What We Concluded!

By

Artificial intelligence chatbots have changed the world in many ways. Some may even call it a complete revolution but it has no doubt made it easier for people to communicate with each other, access information, and get things done.

Chatbots are now used in a variety of industries, including customer service, education, and entertainment. ChatGPT was the most popular AI chatbot until Google Bard came into being. They are both based on large language models, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. But who can beat both of them? Your partner for sure!

ChatGPT vs Bard vs Your Partner

Now you’ve probably seen many comparison articles and posts between the two AI chatbots but have you thought of comparing them with your husband, wife, boyfriend girlfriend, etc? The homepages are basically the same showing a bunch of prompts and the box where you type your questions. However, before Google Bard actually starts functioning it gives a little disclaimer that it might be inaccurate whereas ChatGPT doesn’t. Did your partner give you a disclaimer? No right? So, here have a look.

Now, their home pages are more or less the same. But we decided to ask all three the same four questions to see the different responses and we were amazed, sort of!

Now like I’ve written in my previous articles, there are some things ChatGPT cannot do and before Bard, no one could but now it’s possible. But there’s something that both these cannot do but your partner will be able to do. And no, I’m not talking about THAT sort of stuff!

Question 1 

Our first question was about love since we are talking about partners, so it did only make sense. We asked all three, “What does love mean to you?”. And as expected this is what ChatGPT had to say.

But this is what Bard had to say. Safe to say it acted as a chatbot and that wasn’t surprising. It just gave me possible forms of love.

But unlike GPT and Bard, the partner gave a very heartwarming response which proves that these chatbots cannot be humanized as much as humans would want them to be. Our partner said “Eating leftover pizzas at 2 am to get over a fight” and they couldn’t have said anything sweeter.

Question 2 

ChatGPT is extremely filtered and limited. It does not predict the outcome of anything simply because it cannot. However, Bard is currently unfiltered and not so limited so will reply to almost everything you might ask even if the answer is not the clearest and so can your partner even if you don’t ask them, they will always tell their thoughts. We asked the three, “Do you believe that the end of the world is near?” and this is what our partner said, “If the heels are taking charge, no”. But this is what the two chatbots said.

Question 3

ChatGPT is extremely filtered and information sensitive. It does not engage in any sort of political, religious, or other sensitive topics like gender, etc. However, Bard is currently unfiltered and will reply to almost everything you might ask despite the sensitivity of the topic. And I think your partner is also pretty unfiltered I can only assume. We asked them, “Do you think there is a God?” to which they simply replied, “Of course!” Now look at the AI chatbot responses.

Question 4  

The last question I asked the three, two chatbots and someone’s partner was, “What do you think about terrorism?” to which the partner answered, “Needless”. Now I know this topic or question might be triggering to some of you guys but unfortunately, we live in a terrible world where things like this happen almost every day. But regardless, this is what ChatGPT and Google Bard had to say.

Now, do you want to ask your partner the same things? Or you could just let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Here are some of the reasons why some users may be disappointed with the Google Pixel 7a:

  • The lack of a high-refresh-rate display. Many users are now accustomed to using phones with high-refresh-rate displays, which provide a smoother and more fluid user experience. The Pixel 7a does not have a high-refresh-rate display, which may be a disappointment for some users.
  • The slow fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 7a is slower than the fingerprint sensors on some other phones. This can be a minor annoyance for some users.
  • The outdated design. The Pixel 7a has a design that is similar to the design of the Pixel 6a, which was released in 2022. Some users may be disappointed that Google did not update the design of the Pixel 7a.

Despite these shortcomings, the Google Pixel 7a is still a great mid-range phone. It has a powerful processor, a good display, an excellent camera, and a clean software experience.

Ultimately, whether or not the Google Pixel 7a is a disappointment is a matter of personal opinion. If you can overlook the phone’s shortcomings, then it’s a great option for budget-minded buyers. However, if you’re looking for a phone with all the latest features, then you may be better off looking elsewhere.
