What is the Ask Photos feature?

Ask Photos is an advanced search tool that allows users to interact with their photo libraries more conversationally and intuitively. Unlike the traditional keyword-based searches in Google Photos, this feature lets you use detailed descriptions or ask complex questions to find specific images. For example, if you want a photo of you and a friend laughing at an event, you can simply say, “John and me laughing,” and it will display relevant photos. It can also handle detailed queries like “Kayaking on a lake” or “Lisa painting in the backyard,” making it easier to locate specific memories in large photo collections.

Elon Musk is set to launch video conferencing tools in X, aiming to challenge platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. The company is reportedly developing a new video conferencing feature that could greatly improve user connectivity and collaboration on the platform. X employee Chris Park highlighted this development, noting that the tool has already undergone internal testing.

During internal testing, the team provided highly positive feedback. Park noted that the tools show promise as a strong alternative to existing platforms like Google Hangouts, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. He also hinted at potential future features, such as the ability to pin specific speakers during calls and enhanced notifications to alert users when someone joins or leaves a meeting.

Exciting Feature Enhancements

In his post on X, Park expressed his enthusiasm for the tool, highlighting its potential as a viable competitor in video conferencing. He mentioned some areas the team is likely to focus on, such as improving visibility and notifications when participants enter or exit a meeting, and stabilizing the main panel to reduce the need for constant switching between participants’ faces.

Google has introduced six new features for Maps, including improved navigation for narrow roads, flyover callouts, and exploration lists for discovering new places. The company has mapped over 7 million kilometers of Indian roads, 300 million buildings, and 35 million businesses and locations across India to enhance navigation accuracy. These features, developed with input from local partners and driven by AI, are designed to enhance the user experience.

Enhanced navigation for vehicles

Google recognizes that navigating narrow roads can be particularly challenging for drivers in India. To assist these users, Google is introducing a new feature designed to help avoid narrow roads. This feature uses an AI model specifically created for Indian roads to estimate road widths by analyzing various data sources, including satellite imagery, Street View, and information about road types and distances between buildings. This allows Google Maps to suggest alternative routes that bypass narrow roads.

The Meteorological Department predicts that Cyclone Remal will strike the coasts of West Bengal and Bangladesh on the morning of May 26, with winds reaching speeds of 110-120 kilometers per hour and rushing up to 135 kilometers per hour. According to the IMD, this intensity will persist for nearly 24 hours until the morning of May 27, after which it is expected to weaken.

The weather office stated that the storm is expected to intensify into a deep depression on Friday, May 25, and develop into a severe cyclonic storm by May 26.

The IMD has issued an orange alert for light to moderate rainfall in Kolkata, Howrah, Nadia, Jhargam, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, and Purba Medinipur districts.

What did the IMD indicate?

The IMD stated in its bulletin that a well-marked low-pressure area over the west-central and adjacent south Bay of Bengal moved northeastwards over the past 12 hours, intensifying into a depression. As of 5:30 am on May 24, it was centered over the central Bay of Bengal, approximately 800 km south-southwest of Khepupara (Bangladesh) and 810 km south of Canning (West Bengal).

The bulletin added, “It is very likely to continue moving northeastwards and intensify into a cyclonic storm over the east-central Bay of Bengal by the morning of May 25. Subsequently, it is expected to move nearly northwards and intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by the evening of May 25”.

The IMD reported, “Continuing to move nearly northward, it is highly likely to cross the coasts of Bangladesh and adjacent West Bengal between Sagar Island and Khepupara around midnight on May 26 as a severe cyclonic storm”.

The meteorological office has cautioned sea fishermen to return to shore and avoid venturing into the Bay of Bengal until May 27.
