Don’t Miss: 23 km. Those high-mileage variants of the Innova are coming back, and this buy-it-in-a-yard approach continues with the Toyota Taser. The price of the rebadged Toyota Taser starts at Rs 7.73 lakh. The base model E trim comes with a 1.2 liter NA petrol engine. And the top-spec V trim with the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is priced at Rs 13.03 lakh ex-showroom. The Maruti Franks is available at a starting price of Rs 7.5 lakh. The top spec variant is listed for around Rs 13 lakh. The recently launched Toyota Taser offers a different design style as opposed to the Fronx. Don’t Miss: After Honda and Kia, Toyota has taken that decision and the car comes in five single-tone and two dual-tone color options. With the tagline ‘Make Your Way’, the Toyota Taser will all go head-to-head with rivals like the Renault Kyger, Nissan Magnite, Citroen C3 and other sub-four meter SUV models like the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue and Mahindra XUV300. Although the vehicle’s sheet metal looks are quite similar to the Fronx, the Toyota Taser has a different fascia. This makeover of the vehicle is made possible by updated headlamps and DRLs, new front and rear bumpers, a new set of alloy wheels and revised tail lamps. On the inside, it’s also worth noting that the dashboard and plastic trims are similar to the Fronx.

Don’t Miss: A cheap Toyota car with 29 km mileage! Although people are already queuing up, there are minor differences in the vehicle’s interior color themes and upholstery. Meanwhile the list of features is similar to Fronx. The company has not added any new features to the Toyota Taser. Reports suggest that Toyota is offering a longer standard warranty to attract customers. The Toyota Taser is expected to feature a 9.0-inch touchscreen, heads-up display, wireless charger, 360-degree view camera, and very comprehensive connectivity features. The engine options of the Toyota Taser will also be borrowed from the Maruti Franks.

Apple claims its ReALM is better than GPT-4 at this task. What is it?

Apple claims its ReALM is better than GPT-4 at this task. What is it? toyota

Apple researchers on Friday released a preprint paper on its ReALM large language model and claimed that it can “substantially outperform” OpenAI’s GPT-4 in particular benchmarks. ReALM can supposedly understand and handle different contexts. In theory, this will allow users to point to something on the screen or running in the background and query the language model about it.

Reference resolution is a linguistic problem of understanding what a particular expression is referring to. For example, when we speak, we use references like “they” or “that.” Now, what these words are referring to might be obvious to humans who can understand based on context. But a chatbot like ChatGPT may sometimes struggle to understand exactly what you are referring to.

This ability to understand exactly what is being referred to would be very important to chatbots. The ability for users to refer to something on a screen using “that” or “it” or another word and having a chatbot understand it perfectly would be crucial in creating a truly hands free screen experience, according to Apple.

This latest paper from Apple is the third one on AI that it published in the last few months. While it is still early to predict anything, these papers could be thought of as an early teaser of features that the company plans to include in its software offerings like iOS and macOS.

In the paper, researchers wrote that they want to use ReALM to understand and identify three kinds of entities — onscreen entities, conversational entities, and background entities. Onscreen entities are things that are displayed on the user’s screen. Conversational entities are those that are relevant to the conversation. For example, if you say “what workouts am I supposed to do today?” to a chatbot, it should be able to work out from previous conversations that you are on a 3-day workout schedule and what the schedule for the day is.

Background entities are those things that do not fall into the previous two categories but are still relevant. For example, there could be a podcast playing in the background or a notification that just rang. Apple wants ReALM to be able to understand when a user refers to these as well.

“We demonstrate large improvements over an existing system with similar functionality across different types of references, with our smallest model obtaining absolute gains of over 5 per cent for on-screen references. We also benchmark against GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, with our smallest model achieving performance comparable to that of GPT-4, and our larger models substantially outperforming it,” wrote the researchers in the paper.

But do note that with GPT-3.5, which only accepts text, the researchers’ input was just the prompt alone. But with GPT-4, they also provided a screenshot for the task, which helped improve performance substantially.

“Note that our ChatGPT prompt and prompt+image formulation are, to the best of our knowledge, in and of themselves novel. While we believe it might be possible to further improve
results, for example, by sampling semantically similar utterances up until we hit the prompt length, this more complex approach deserves further, dedicated exploration, and we leave this to future work,” added the researchers in the paper.

So while ReALM works better than GPT-4 in this particular benchmark, it would be far from accurate to say that the former is a better model than the latter. It is just that ReALM beat GPT in a benchmark that it was specifically designed to be good at. It is also not immediately clear when or how Apple plans to integrate ReALM into its products.

New Tesla Car: Features, Release Date, and More

New entry-level Tesla Hatchback coming next year

Tesla is a bit late to the budget EV game, with the MG 4 and BYD Dolphin both coming in at under £25,000, and the new Renault 5 E-Tech is set to come in at under this figure as well. Hoping to get in on the action, a new entry-level Tesla EV is coming next year.

New Tesla Car: Features, Release Date, and More toyota

Details are thin on the ground for this car, with not even a name being confirmed yet, but it’ll feature a whole raft of new technology to keep costs down, and it’s going to be built using more efficient manufacturing techniques to help drive the price down even further.

So how much will the new Tesla hatchback cost? Well it’s a little tricky to put an exact figure on it at this point. Elon Musk claims it’ll cost less than $25,000, which is around £22,000, and it will be approximately 50% cheaper to build than the Model 3 and Model Y.

What happened to the Tesla Roadster?

Cast your mind back seven years. Ed Sheeran had just released Shape of You, the Alpine A110 had just been revealed, and Elon Musk promised to build a new supercar which would go from 0-60mph in under 1.9 seconds.

New Tesla Car: Features, Release Date, and More toyota

Well seven years on and the new Tesla Roadster still hasn’t come to fruition. The Honda Civic has gone through two generations in that time, but Musk recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) promising to launch the car in 2025.

He’s also touting some insane new performance figures. In the post on X, Musk claims the new Roadster will be able to do 0-60mph in less than 1.0 second thanks to, wait for it, rockets. This should probably be taken with more than a pinch of salt though, because even if a car like this was to become reality there’s a good chance it would be cancelled before it ever makes production.

Is the Tesla Cybertruck coming to the UK?

It’s best not to be too sceptical about the new Tesla Roadster though, because Tesla has finally managed to bring the Cybertruck into production. This is one insane-looking electric pickup truck, with a design resembling a rolling axe head, but will it come to the UK?

Check out Mat’s review of the Tesla Cybertruck…

Well it’s not looking hopeful. While you can gawk at the Cybertruck’s specs on the Tesla UK website, the option to put down a deposit was taken away a fair few months ago. It’s the same story in Europe, and there’s no sign of this changing any time soon.

Those living in the USA can get a Cybertruck for £66,000, rising to £82,000 for the tri-motor Cyberbeast model . A cheaper rear-wheel drive model will also be coming in 2025 costing £50,000.

Many of the sex workers in GB Road are professional prostitutes who offer various types of services ranging from traditional services like handjobs, blowjobs, and full sex, to unique services like threesomes, BDSM, role playing, and more. These women are mostly from marginalized communities and come from all walks of life.
It is important to note that although prostitution is legal in India, it is still a very dangerous profession. Many of these women face exploitation and abuse from clients and the police alike. It is therefore important to be aware of the risks involved and to take appropriate precautions when visiting any red light district.

Laws Related to Prostitution in India

In India, prostitution is legal only if it is carried out in the private residence of a prostitute or brothel keeper. It is a criminal offence to solicit or seduce Customers in a public place, or to run a brothel. The law does not prohibit prostitution itself, but only particular activities surrounding it. This means that many activities that are related to prostitution, such as pimping and running brothels, are illegal.

There are an estimated three million sex workers in India, most of whom work in the informal sector and are not protected by any labour laws. This makes them vulnerable to exploitation by both their clients and their employers. As a result, many sex workers suffer from poor working conditions, low wages, and sexual harassment.

The Indian government has taken some steps to protect the rights of sex workers. For example, the government has created special police units to investigate crimes against sex workers, and has set up shelters for victims of trafficking. However, much more needs to be done to protect the rights of sex workers and to improve their working conditions.

Conclusion

Exploring the Red Light Area in Delhi, specifically GB Road and its nightlife, is an eye-opening experience. Although it may not be for everyone and can be dangerous at times, it provides a unique glimpse into the lives of those living there. It also gives us a better understanding of how India’s sex trade works and the social issues that go along with it. For anyone looking to gain insight into this part of Indian life, exploring GB Road should definitely be on your list!

Sonagachi Red Light Area With Adress – Location – Price

Whirlpool-for-two

Sonagachi is a neighbourhood in KolkataIndia, located in North Kolkata near the intersection of Jatindra Mohan Avenue (north of C.R. Avenue) with Beadon Street and Sovabazar, about one kilometer north of the Marble Palace area.[1][2] Sonagachi is among the largest red-light districts in Asia and the world with several hundred multi-storey brothels residing more than 16,000 commercial sex workers.[3][4][5]

Etymology[edit]

In BengaliSona Gachi means ‘Tree of Gold’. According to legend, during the early days of Calcutta the area was the den of a notorious dacoit by the name of Sanaullah, who lived here with his mother. On his death, the grieving woman is said to have heard a voice coming from their hut, saying, “Mother, don’t cry. I have become a Gazi“, and so the legend of Sona Gazi started. The mother built a mosque in memory of her son, although it fell into disrepair. The Sona Gazi was converted into Sonagachi.[6]

Red-light district[edit]

Current situation[edit]

Several NGOs and government organizations operate in Sonagachi for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) including AIDS. The book Guilty Without Trial by the founders of the NGO Sanlaap based much of their research into human trafficking in India on this area.

The Sonagachi project is a sex workers’ cooperative that operates in the area and empowers sex workers to insist on condom use and to stand up against abuse. Run by the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, it was founded by public health scientist Smarajit Jana in 1992 but is now largely run by the prostitutes themselves. While some are crediting the DMSC with keeping a relatively low rate of HIV infection among prostitutes, around 5.17% of the 13,000 prostitutes in Sonagachi are estimated to be HIV positive.[7] This rate is close to the average HIV rate for female prostitutes in India, which is estimated to be 5.1%, though the HIV infection rate among prostitutes as well as among the general population varies widely by region in India.[8] According to some sources, prostitutes from Sonagachi who test HIV positive are not told about the results, and live with the disease without knowing about it “because the DMSC is worried that HIV positive women will be ostracized.”[9] Some prostitutes in Sonagachi have stated that “the clients, at least three quarters of them” refuse to use condoms and “if we force them to use the condom, they will just go next door. There are so many women working here, and in the end, everyone is prepared to work without protection for fear of losing trade.”[9]

Besides the Sonagachi project, the DMSC also runs several similar projects in West Bengal, organizing some 65,000 prostitutes and their children. The organization lobbies for the recognition of sex workers’ rights and full legalization, runs literacy and vocational programs, and provides micro loans.[10][11] The DMSC hosted India’s first national convention of sex workers on 14 November 1997 in Kolkata, titled ‘Sex Work is Real Work: We Demand Workers Rights’.[12] The book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide reports investigations revealing that, contrary to stated policy, the DMSC allows sex slavery, trafficking, and underage girls in Sonagachi project brothels.[13]

Popular culture[edit]

The documentary Born into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids won the Oscar for best documentary award in 2005.[14] It depicts the lives of children born to prostitutes in Sonagachi. Born into Brothels takes the viewer beyond the well-known prostitute-clogged streets and into the homes of the children who live in the so-called worst place on earth. If the film has one success story, it is the discovery of ten-year-old Avijit whose natural affinity for creating exciting compositions through the lens earned him an invitation to the World Press Photo Foundation in Amsterdam.

Sahir Ludhianavi wrote

Ye duniya do rangi hai

Ek taraf se resham ode, ek taraf se nangi hai

Ek taraf andhi daulat ki paagal aish parasti

Ek taraf jismoñ ki qeemat roti se bhi sasti

Ek taraf hai Sonaagaachi, ek taraf Chaurangi hai

Ye duniya do rangi hai

Meaning:

This world is double-faced

One side covered with silk, the other naked

On the one hand, the hedonism of blind wealth

On the other, bodies sold cheaper than  bread

On the one hand lies Sonagachi, on the other Chowringhee

This world is double-faced

There is also a documentary titled Tales of The Night Fairies by Prof. Shohini Ghosh and Dr. Sabeena Ghadioke from Asia’s leading Media institute AJK, Mass Communication Research Centre, about the Sonagachi area. It has won the Jeevika Award for the best documentary feature on livelihood in India.[15]

Popular actor Kamal Haasan‘s movie Mahanadhi has a storyline based on the area. The Malayalam Film Calcutta News depicts the story of women being trafficked and forced to become sex workers in Sonagachi.[16]

In his documentary The Five Obstructions, renowned Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier asks poet and experimental filmmaker Jorgen Leth to name the worst place in the world he has ever visited, and immediately Leth responds with “The Red Light District of Calcutta.”
