  Darvin Ham Blasts Lakers After Uninspired Loss to Nets: ‘It’s Over for Excuses’ The  Los Angeles Lakers  suffered another tough loss on Friday night, falling to the  Brooklyn Nets , 130–112 at home. The Lakers led the Nets by six at halftime but collapsed in the second half, when Brooklyn outscored them, 68–44. Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham has been facing scrutiny this season, and he expressed his frustration with yet another brutal loss after the game. “That first half is what we’re working toward … and then the inconsistency showed up and reared its head in the second half,” Ham told reporters. “We have to decide which team we’re gonna be.” Then, Ham punctuated his comments by demanding action instead of just words from his players. “It’s over for the excuses,” Ham added. “We got to play basketball.” The Nets bench outscored the Lakers bench, 59–23, including a game-high 33 points from guard Cam Thomas. “You show it on film and address it with the group,” Ham said of his team’s col

Discover the world of mobile AI with Samsung and Galaxy AI




Discover the world of mobile AI with Samsung and Galaxy AI


With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is bringing impressive technology into its flagship smartphones and into the hands of users: Galaxy AI enables them to experience the power of AI directly on their Samsung Galaxy S24 devices. From more accessible communication through intelligent text and call translations, to supporting creative freedom with the Samsung Galaxy ProVisual Engine, to making everyday mobile life easier with smart search functions - with Galaxy AI, Samsung is heading into a new era and taking its users equal to.




Samsung wants to improve everyday mobile life with the AI ​​functions of the S24 series, starting with the basic function of the smartphone: communication. With AI Live Translation audio and text content can be translated in near real time during a call - directly in the native calling function and without third-party apps. Regardless of whether you are calling colleagues from abroad or making reservations over the phone while on vacation in another country - barrier-free communication is easy with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. The on-device AI ensures that the conversations remain on the device and therefore private during processing.

In-person conversations can also be translated with Galaxy AI: With the interpreter function, accessible via the Quick Start menu, people standing opposite each other can read on their display a translated text transcription of what the other person has said in their local language. This also works without cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.

For text messages and in other apps, the writing assistant offers users wording suggestions in real time. Whether a formal message to colleagues or a pointed copy for social media - the AI ​​supports you at the touch of a button. The writing assistant built into the Samsung keyboard can also translate notes, emails and messages into 13 languages. AI can also help when driving: Android Auto automatically summarizes incoming messages and suggests relevant answers and actions. For example, users can share their expected arrival time while still concentrating on the road.

Productivity intelligently supported

With Notes Assistant, Samsung Notes can create AI-generated summaries of larger amounts of text from various sources. The transcription assistant in turn, uses AI and speech-to-text technology to transcribe, summarize and also translate audio recordings - even from multiple speakers. AI can also help optimize layouts and cover pages for created documents.

Experience mobile searching in a different way

The Galaxy S24 series not only sets high standards when it comes to communication. It also enables an intelligent mobile experience when searching online: With the new S24 series, Samsung is bringing its first smartphones onto the market that provide users with the intuitive, gesture-controlled “Circle to Search with Google” 8 function . In collaboration with Google, Samsung is enabling a different form of online search that can be started with just one gesture. Long-pressing the home button (or “touch bar”) on a Galaxy S24 device allows users to circle content displayed on the screen with their finger or S Pen to get more information about it. Whether it's a sight in the background of a friend's social media post or a surprisingly funny fact on YouTube Shorts - you can search and find additional information without having to leave the app.

Rediscover the world with creativity

Samsung Galaxy S24 series ProVisual Engine.. These can improve the possibilities of mobile photography and maximize the creative freedom of users - from camera settings to sharing content on social networks. Blurry and pixelated images from long distances are now a thing of the past.

Galaxy AI editing tools bring out the best in great subjects with retouching, recomposition and remastering capabilities. The “Edit Suggestions” feature recommends appropriate tweaks for each photo using Galaxy AI. To give users even more creative freedom, “Generative Editing” can expand and adjust the image section afterwards. If an image is crooked, the AI ​​will fill in the edges. When an object needs to be moved into the correct position, the AI ​​can adjust the position of the subject and create a blended background in its original location. Whenever users use generative AI to edit an image, a small watermark is inserted in the bottom corner of the image and in the metadata. Galaxy AI also has an exciting new function for video content: “Instant Slow-Mo” can slow down action-packed videos by using AI to generate additional individual images based on movements. Although these cannot be saved, they do show users a more detailed representation of their action-packed experiences while the video is playing.

Using Super HDR, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series can show life-like preview images even before the shutter is pressed. Once captured, the high-quality images are retained without any loss of quality when shared on third-party social media apps. When searching for images in the gallery or in a social media app, the photos are also displayed in Super HDR for a realistic representation of brightness, colors and contrast. To do this, the highlighted areas of the images are analyzed.

Tesla cuts Model Y prices and interest rates   Tesla has significantly reduced the purchase prices for its Model Y in Germany and lowered the interest rates to zero percent. The new prices and zero interest rates currently only apply to the Model Y - but there is already speculation that the Model 3 could soon also become cheaper.
