After the launch in December/2023 of Google Gemini 1.0 - a family of Artificial Intelligence models, like OpenAI's GPT competitor, now it is the turn of the Gemini Nano application, launched on the 8th, in the United States. GEMINI | ULTRA 1.0 AND THE NEW MOBILE APPLICATION Gemini 1.0 is multimodal in all its versions, as it has the ability to recognize and understand texts, images, audio, codes and much more at the same time, which enables it to answer questions with a greater degree of complexity, compared to others competitors who limit themselves to understanding and generating texts. Gemini will include a suite of three different versions: Gemini Ultra , its largest and most capable category; Gemini Pro , capable of performing a wide range of tasks; and Gemini Nano , which it will use for specific tasks and mobile devices. Gemini Advanced  (the paid service that gives you access to Gemini Ultra) is available in English in over 150 countries, including the UK and EU (but not yet available for France ). However, it is worth noting that Google initially granted access in 2023 to Gemini Ultra  for customers, developers, partners and security experts. This year it has already started broad access permissions for developers and corporate customers. Google hopes that developers and businesses can create their own use cases and will tweak Gemini Pro even more in the coming weeks and months, as it receives comments from authorized users, it intends to make improvements to make it even more attractive and functional for users. Google demonstrates that it has great determination and willingness to innovate with significant investments and developments in Artificial Intelligence. As for the Gemini Nano , it will be accompanied by the Pixel 8 Pro , the first smartphone designed to run the Gemini Nano! Sources: GOOGLE BLOG.

Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, professor at New York University and co-founder of "String Theory", explained in an exercise in future research during the already distant lecture at the Campus Party on February 11, 2012, that in 30 years (until 2042, therefore) both computers and the Internet will be like electricity is today. “Both will be present in ceilings, basements, walls and appliances,” he said. The New York University professor went further and said that the Internet is in people's glasses and contact lenses. “You can see all of a person’s biographical information just by looking at them. “Finding your soulmate will be an easy task,” he joked. Another revolution is underway in the field of medicine. Kaku explained that technology will help people achieve perfect health in the near future. According to him, the cancer will disappear. “Write this down: the word tumor will no longer exist in our language.” According to the physicist, the pills will have chips and micro-cameras that scan the human body from the inside. Once the threat is localized, nanorobots will be used to fight cancer cell by cell, without the need for surgery or direct intervention from doctors. Kaku also added that cancer and other diseases could be diagnosed years in advance thanks to health monitoring toilets. “The bathrooms will be equipped with artificial intelligence capable of analyzing body excretions and detecting the onset of illness at an early stage. “In this future, Steve Jobs would not have died,” he emphasized. Recently, in 2020, Dr. Michio Kako gave a talk in which he highlighted new predictions that we will see in the next post. Source: MSN Technology

The hot water that falls from the shower does not need to reach 100ºC to transform into a gaseous state. If water only turned to vapor at 100ºC, there would never be rain, as water from rivers, lakes and seas would never evaporate. The secret is that, in addition to boiling, which requires reaching 100º Celsius, at sea level, for water to change from a liquid to a gaseous state, there are two other ways. The first is heating, a change from liquid to vapor that can even occur immediately, with the water being at room temperature, depending on specific conditions. It occurs when you throw water on a hot plate, for example. The second is evaporation. To evaporate, water needs to be just a little warmer than the air. This is where the evaporation of water from rivers, seas and lakes comes in, which occurs on the surface, as water molecules gain enough energy to transform into vapor, at room temperature, depending on atmospheric pressure and other factors. The hot water that falls from the shower also undergoes evaporation: The electric shower or heater can generate this difference in temperature to make the water turn into steam. Droplets that fall at a temperature at least 20ºC higher than the ambient temperature have a good chance of evaporating. Just to give you an example, in a very hot bath, with an average temperature of around 45ºC, around 10% of the water is lost in the form of steam. In a common electric shower, this means that around 1.5 liters pass into a gaseous state during a quick shower lasting just five minutes. Steam is formed by water molecules that have managed to transform into a gaseous state. What defines the state of water — solid, liquid or gaseous — is the agitation of its molecules. The more you stir, the higher the temperature of the liquid. In the water that flows from the shower at an average of 40ºC, for example, there are some droplets with molecules in agitation equivalent to 50ºC. For them, it is easier to break away from the water column and become vapor. In that same bath at 40ºC, there are droplets in which the molecules have a temperature of 30ºC. As its molecules are less agitated, they have less energy and cannot pass into the gaseous state. They remain in a liquid state and guarantee our bath.

“Humor is the brother of poetry, humor is the denouncer. I don't have the ability to fix anything, but I have the obligation to report everything, because that is the comedian's first obligation. Humor is everything, even funny.” Chico Anysio (1931 - 2012) Below, a "small" exhibition of 25 of the 209 characters that brought to life the refined humor of Brazilian comedian Chico Anysio.

“I know that it is difficult to let go of your own preferences; but it is precisely in this that the nobility of the scientist consists.” Norberto Bobbio (1909 - 2004)

1 ST POST This site is born eclectic, it will seek to be plural, with varied themes and opinions, with an emphasis on Innovation, Science and Technology. Here we observe technology not only focusing on its speed and practicality, but as a convergence factor for reflective thinking about everything that "passes" ; ahead of us. We need to understand the meaning of changes and strengthen our ability to influence them consciously.
