Facebook will change its look again: soon the first thing users will see when they open the mobile app will be the Home tab, a space that allows them to find pages, groups and users who use Facebook, the app and who create popular content. New Structure Introduced This Wednesday Mark Zuckerberg remembers the TikTok home page, which uses algorithms to select the most interesting videos for each person.
Messages from people, friends, groups, and pages that the user follows on Facebook are moved to a new tab (Feeds, plural), which is divided into “favorites”, “friends”, “groups” and “pages” and organized chronologically. at the base, innings traditional news will be divided into two parts: content that the user wants to follow (Feeds) and additional content that may be of interest to the user (Main).
Meta’s executive chairman and creator of Facebook says the goal of the change is to help people control what they see on the app. One of the biggest disadvantages of social networks, including Facebook, is the lack of transparency about the algorithms that recommend content to each user. “[No separador Feeds] you will be able to see posts from friends, groups, pages and more, separately, in chronological order,” explains Mark Zuckerberg in the presentation of the changes. “But Appendix continues to show innings personalized, on the Home tab, where our search engine recommends the content we find most interesting. [ao utilizador]”.
Facebook will change the order of tabs Meta
fight for first place
This change from Facebook comes at a time when the app’s popularity is on the wane. This year, Zuckerberg’s first social network, Facebook, lost users for the first time in 18 years of existence. Over the last three months of 2021 less than 500 thousand people logged into the social network daily.
On the other hand, tik tak continues to accumulate new users. According to data from sensor towerwhich is a consulting company in the field of mobile applications, TikTok is Appendix the most downloaded in the world, both in the Apple app store (App Store) and in the Google store (Google Play). Since the beginning of 2020, he has only been overthrown twice: Appendix Zoom video calls (Q2 2020) and hairstyles Instagram (last quarter of 2021).
This does not mean that Facebook has fallen from the podium. Programs the most popular, but no longer ranked first. In 2022, Instagram (a subsidiary of Facebook) is the world leader in terms of engagement (engagementin English), that is, Appendix where users spend more time and interact through posts, comments, likes, shares and private messages. This is followed by TikTok (29% engagement) and Facebook (27%).
“Programs how TikTok, Instagram and Facebook generate billions downloads around the world and attract audiences of all age groups. But it’s important that they continue to offer the features that consumers want,” explains PÚBLICO Sensor Tower analyst Craig Chapple. “Otherwise, users will look elsewhere,” he concludes. “There is no shortage of alternatives. The more time users spend in the app, the less time they spend on competing platforms.”
Facebook changes must reach Programs users from the following a week. On iOS, new tabs will be at the bottom of the app; on the Android system will be at the top. The order of the tabs depends on which tools the user uses most often.
Creating features inspired by competing social networks is something parent company Facebook Meta has been doing for years. In 2016 the company running stories (images and videos that disappear a few hours after being viewed) following the rise of Snapchat and in 2020. announced drums (microvideo tool) to compete with TikTok.
Space travel is a complex, confusing and dangerous topic. There are many variables that can turn a mission into a disaster. From launch to landing, everything must be very well planned, studied and simulated. Photographs taken by probes and robots can help, but they are far from the necessary information. However, all this may change with the advent of a new method of photomapping. A math trick will help you land safely on the Moon, Mars, and any other planet.
Landform mapping on our natural satellite is of great interest and importance for future human missions.
Researchers have discovered a method for creating high-resolution maps of the surfaces of planets such as the Moon by combining available images and topographic data.
Mapping the complex and varied surface of a world like the Moon at detailed resolution is challenging because laser altimeters, which measure changes in altitude, operate at a much lower resolution than cameras. And although photographs give a sense of surface features, it is difficult to translate images into a specific height and depth.
However, the new method combines topographic data with the degree of sunlight shading in optical images to provide a much more accurate assessment of fill shapes and structures. In the future, the development could help both astronauts and research robots.
The new method was developed by Iris Fernandes, a former PhD student at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Geophysicist Iris Fernandez, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen who discovered a new mathematical method for mapping photographs of lunar soil.
Lots of missions, lots of photos, but... lacks mathematical rigor
Different missions provide data at very different resolutions, so combining different data sources with different resolutions is a huge mathematical problem. Iris Fernandez and her then supervisor, geophysicist Klaus Mosegaard, did differently, as they focused on the mathematics of the problem, reducing the problem of determining whether an equation could solve the problem.
So it was. It can be said that my supervisor, Professor Klaus Mosegaard, and I have found the mathematical key to a door that has remained closed for many years.
It should also be noted that the new approach also requires much less computing power and is much faster than previous methods, according to the researchers.
The moon was the first target of exploration
Researchers have demonstrated the technique on the moon. These combined high-resolution images from NASA's LROC camera Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter with lower resolution spacecraft data Lunar orbiter laser altimeter (LOLA), the authors of the article claim to have increased the resolution of the topography from about 60 meters per pixel to 0.9 meters per pixel.
In this follow-up, the authors of the study noted that this method can be applied to extract accurate topographic information about rocks on planetary bodies such as the Moon, Mars, asteroids, and any other worlds for which topographic data is available.
This method can be used to solve a number of different problems, including determining the safety of astronauts and rovers or detecting geological points of interest, and can be applied to images from satellites, rovers, or other spacecraft.
The progress of the investigation is described in an article published on June 8 in the journal Planetary and space science.
Year 10 students of the Escola Secundária do Marco Professional Course in Fashion Design participated in the design of the costumes for the Artâmega – Marco de Canaveses Arts Conservatory show “Perhaps in the Heart”, filmed on stage at Sala Suggia, at Casa da Música, in Porto, July 9, 2022.
In a production technology class led by teacher Tanya Fernandez, more than 80 costumes were designed and made to match the characters from the various stories featured in the play.
The students made drawings that were transferred to the molds used to mark, cut and shape the fabric into pieces during the sewing process. “The teacher and students showed great dedication and effort, working tirelessly to complete all the work within the deadline”specifies an ad.
Artamega thanked “The opening and availability of the professional design and fashion course at Escola Secundária do Marco to participate in this wonderful project presented at Casa da Música, highlighting the importance of synergy, in this case between schools that are in the same space”ends.
While Microsoft is focused on its new system, Microsoft is committed to ensuring that Windows 11 continues to evolve. It will be supported for a few more years, so it should continue to receive news and improvements.
With what is being developed in Windows 11, there is an opportunity to bring these technologies to Windows 10. This will happen soon with the announcement of a new feature that will improve the printing experience in Windows 10.
Microsoft will mix features
Windows 11 is currently in development for Microsoft. This system is being improved and tries to give users as much functionality as possible, thereby ensuring that this is a modern system, as the best there is.
What seems logical is to combine efforts and include features in both Microsoft systems. So, what's next for Windows 10 is expected and important for its development, both for users and for what it offers them.
Windows 11 will contribute to Windows 10
In particular, Windows 10 will now be able to more precisely control the printing process. This will have a new control that will prevent fingerprints from being created without the user's permission, or from being accumulated without the user's explicit intention.
This control will be as simple as using a PIN to block printing. Only after user authorization will the document be sent to the printer to be converted into a plain sheet of paper.
More news expected in the future
By introducing this new feature to Windows 10, Microsoft wants users to save paper and ink cartridges. At the same time, it provides greater security and guarantees user privacy, especially in environments with multiple printers.
Of course, this will only be the first moment when the functions of the two systems will be combined. Microsoft will certainly increase this proximity and thus guarantee users the maximum even faster.
