Viral video shows Whitehat Junior instructor is unable to answer basic coding questions
When companies fill the public with advertisements claiming to turn their children into the next Steve Jobs and the next Sundar Pichai, it is expected that some will want to investigate their claims. And if a viral video is to be believed, Whitehat Jr. does not come with flying colors at all.
A video showing a Whitehat junior instructor failing to answer basic coding questions has gone viral on social media. In the video, a student's parents ask their Whitehat junior instructor to explain the difference between Java and JavaScript.
"We use JavaScript to develop games," the instructor says hesitantly. "Java is a high programming level language," she continues.
The parents then ask the instructor to explain "what a high-level programming language is" - Java is a high-level programming language - but the instructor then admits that he has no idea what it means. The instructor has not heard of the popular code repository GitHub.
We wrote to Whitehat Jr. for a comment on the video but did not receive a specific response.
Whitehat Jr. has run an extremely aggressive advertising campaign in recent weeks. Some of its advertisements show young children, who are trained through its coding classes, receive Rs. Is paid 150 million per year on Google. Other advertisements tell parents that after attending their coding classes, their children will become the next Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.
Yet another advertisement shows a group of people fighting outside a couple's house. It is later revealed that they are investors who are able to invest in the app that their child has developed. Whitehat Jr.'s marketing campaign was so high that five of its ads were taken last week following complaints from the Advertising Standards Council.
Somewhat surprisingly, Whitehat Jr. does not require people applying for any prior coding knowledge to become its instructor. The instructors are put through a training module, and can then be taught coding to younger children. Whitehat Jr.'s website clearly states that its instructors do not require any prior experience of teaching. "No restart required," its website tells prospective instructors, noting that "no previous experience in teaching is necessary."
While it may be possible to teach very young children the basics of coding themselves without any coding, it has not diminished well among users on social media. The video of the instructor struggling to answer coding questions went viral, and a wide variety of responses were revealed.
Some wondered how a person who apparently knew nothing about programming could teach others, even if they were young children. "I'm not into coding, but what does Java Mina C ++ mean ??" I am not criticizing that, but at least one of them should have basic knowledge of what should be taught, ”one Twitter user wrote.
Whatsapp Multi-device support feature is coming soon to Android Whatsapp beta users
On its official blog, WABetaInfo shared some more information about the upcoming feature. Apparently, some of the app's multi-device functions are not ready yet, but the most important ones, such as syncing chant history, muting your chats, starring / delivering messages, etc. are all fully functional. . The screenshot below shows the action in an unrelated (and unspecified) Android build, suggesting that the app will come with a toggle to let beta users opt-in for the new feature.

According to WABetaInfo, enabling the toggle will mean "all other linked devices will be able to work without a connection with your phone". However, given that this feature is still in use, it is not immediately clear whether it will be available on the WhatsApp beta.
Meanwhile, the report does not explicitly say that the feature will allow people to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices at the same time without disconnecting from the primary device, but it is likely to happen. However, the feature is still running, and things often change before public release, so we'll have to wait and see how it progresses.

Tesla cars now detect speed limit signs
In July 2019, Tesla's website advertised "full potential for autonomous driving", including automatic driving on the motorway - although it has always maintained that its autopilot is not built as an alternative to a human driver . Previous Tesla models have received the speed-limit mark, which was enabled by the firm's former business partner Mobileye.
Between 2013 and 2016, the Israeli manufacturer of camera sensors and software supplied the technology to Tesla for the autopilot feature used in its Model S and Model X vehicles. But in July 2016, the companies ended the relationship, citing the first reported autopilot fatality as a factor
Owners of cars manufactured under the partnership had complained that road signs were sometimes misunderstood. Tesla blog, Teslarty reported, vehicles did not register the speed limit mark at excessive speeds. Tesla's latest software update applies to autopilot cars manufactured after 2016, which are not fitted with Mobileye cameras.
Elsewhere, Cruise — a self-driving car start owned by General Motors — has said it uses artificial intelligence to train cars to understand the body language of bike users and pedestrians. It can be used to identify someone holding their hands up to a signal stop, or a cyclist may extend their left hand to indicate that they are turning left.
