AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Instagram to let users choose if they want to hide ‘Likes’ on their posts

After experimenting with the “Private Like Counts” feature for posts, Instagram is letting users decide whether to enable or disable the feature. As part of a small global test, Instagram is giving its users three options when it comes to like count.

The three options that Instagram is offering its users are: turn off like counts for their own posts, not see like counts on anyone’s posts or stick to the existing format. According to a TechCrunch report, Facebook will also begin a similar experiment on its platform soon.

To recall, Instagram expanded its “Private Like Counts” or hide like counts test globally in 2019. In the test, users can still privately see the number of likes they have received on a particular post, but the like count will not be visible to others. Likewise, users will also not be able to see how many likes others’ posts have received.

Instagram said the idea is for users to “focus on the photos and videos they share, not how many likes they get.” “We don’t want people to feel like it’s a contest. Instagram should be about expression, Vishal Shah, Vice President of Product, Instagram said.

While the previous experiment did not give users any choice in terms of whether to disable or enable the feature as per their wish; the latest test does. “But during tests, not everyone agreed the removal of Likes was a change for the better. Some people said they still wanted to see Like counts so they could track what was trending and popular,” a TechCrunch report read.

The option to hide likes will appear in Instagram Settings. Creators will be able to hide likes for specific posts as well, by clicking on the three dot menu. However, do keep in mind that this is a small test rolling out for only a small percentage of Instagram users globally, so the feature might not be available to everyone.
