New Zealand saw off the danger of Deandra Dottin to book their place in the Women’s T20 World Cup final with a nail-biting eight-run win over West Indies in Sharjah on Friday. After Dottin’s 4-22 restricted the White Ferns to 128-9, the all-rounder clubbed a superb 33 from 22 balls with three sixes as West Indies finished just short on 120-8.

That technique involves breaking down complex problems into smaller logical steps and appears to improve the accuracy of responses on challenging problems in subjects like science, coding and math. Meta’s researchers used entirely AI-generated data to train… Read More »Meta Releases AI Model That Can Check How Other Models Work

A safety system driven by artificial intelligence (AI) helped stop a train in Assam while a herd of elephants were crossing the tracks at night.

Markets regulator Sebi on Friday clarified that investors can continue using 3-in-1 accounts to apply online for public issues of debt securities, non-convertible redeemable preference shares, municipal debt securities, and securitised debt instruments.

In this case, the clients would have their funds in their bank account, earning interest on the cash balances. The clarification came after Sebi received feedback that there is a need to explicitly specify the usage of 3-in-1 type accounts for making an application in the public… Read More »Investors Can Use 3-In-1 Accounts To Apply For Some Debt Securities: SEBI
