Prehistoric Japan was home to cave lions--not tigers
Fossil evidence shows a case of mistaken big cat identity. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Present-day Japan may see its fair share of bears, but the islands' big cat populations are long gone. Between 129,000 and 11,700 years ago, temporary land bridges allowed the ancient predators to migrate between mainland Asia and the islands. Paleobiologists have long believed tigers were the primary cats to make this trek, but recently analyzed evidence published in the suggests a different timeline.

Language Model Tokenizers Introduce Unfairness Between Languages
Recent language models have shown impressive multilingual performance, even when not explicitly trained for it. Despite this, there are concerns about the quality of their outputs across different languages. In this paper, we show how disparity in the treatment of different languages arises at the tokenization stage, well before a model is even invoked. The same text translated into different languages can have drastically different tok-enization lengths, with differences up to 15 times in some cases. These disparities persist even for tokenizers that are intentionally trained for multilingual support.
