The primates appear to change their minds based on the strength of evidence, just like humans. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The human capacity for rational thinking makes us unique among the animal kingdom, according to wise, old Aristotle . However, an ever-growing body of research suggests that rationality might not be quite as distinctive a human quality as we might have thought. In a study recently published in the journal, researchers at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda presented chimpanzees with two boxes: one with food and one without a snack.

Scientists have revealed the terrifying answer to this question, which is the subject of the upcoming science fiction blockbuster, Project Hail Mary. The film, based on a novel of the same name by The Martian author, Andy Weir, follows a lone scientist on a mission to uncover why the sun is dimming. In the movie, which is set to hit cinemas in March 2026, the sun's brightness is predicted to fall one per cent in a year and five per cent in 20 years. These numbers might sound small. But in reality, scientists say that these changes would be more than enough to wipe out humanity.

Thousands of Airbus planes are being returned to normal service after being grounded for hours due to a warning that solar radiation could interfere with onboard flight control computers. The aerospace giant - based in France - said around 6,000 of its A320 planes had been affected with most requiring a quick software update. Some 900 older planes need a replacement computer. French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said the updates went very smoothly for more than 5,000 planes. Fewer than 100 aircraft still needed the update, Airbus had told him, according to local media.

Gaming may be turning players into conspiracy theorists, but so is everything else. For nearly 20 years, the video games have presented themselves as sprawling works of historical fiction. They cast players as noble assassins during big inflection points in history--the French Revolution, Ptolemaic Egypt, the end of Japan's Sengoku era--and give them freedom to romp around stunning re-creations of these eras, interacting with historical figures along the way. You can do secret missions for Cleopatra, you can get Socrates out of a jam after he pisses a mob off, that sort of thing. They're extremely popular to the point of being taken for granted, the way a ubiquitous CBS procedural might be.

Can Pakistan join the Gaza stabilisation force? Two Palestinian children have been killed in an Israeli drone attack on the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to medics. Witnesses told Al Jazeera that drones dropped a bomb on a group of civilians near al-Farabi School on Saturday morning, killing two brothers, Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi. The area targeted by the attack lies beyond the so-called Yellow Line marking the Israeli forces' redeployment boundary agreed under the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on October 10, sources said. Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli military launched ground, naval, and air attacks on several parts of Gaza.

A Russian drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv has killed at least one person and injured seven others, city officials say. Early on Saturday morning residential buildings in several districts were hit and loud explosions could be heard across the city. Kyiv's mayor Vitaly Klitschko said a 13-year-old child was among the injured and four people had been taken to hospital. Earlier this week a similar attack on Kyiv killed seven people, Ukrainian officials said. The latest bombardment came as Ukrainian negotiators were preparing for talks with US officials this weekend on an amended US peace plan.

What is in the 28-point US plan for Ukraine? Why is Europe opposing Trump's peace plan? Is the fall of Pokrovsk inevitable? 'A corruption scandal may well end the Ukraine war' Here's where things stand on Saturday, November 29. Russian drones struck six locations in Kyiv's city centre and eastern suburbs early on Saturday, injuring four people, as apartment buildings and other dwellings were hit, said the head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko.

No, your favourite influencer hasn't got a dozen dachshund dogs. When scrolling through social media recently, you might have noticed posts which seem a bit off. It's all AI generated and due to its low quality and its inauthenticity, it's being branded AI slop. Both social media users and content creators say they're worried that AI slop flooding feeds is leading to a less authentic online experience - and is drowning out real posts. But a new trend, which sees people adding AI-generated animals to original photographs, has encouraged some content creators to embrace AI.

Why Google's custom AI chips are shaking up the tech industry Ironwood is Google's latest tensor processing unit Nvidia's position as the dominant supplier of AI chips may be under threat from a specialised chip pioneered by Google, with reports suggesting companies like Meta and Anthropic are looking to spend billions on Google's tensor processing units. The success of the artificial intelligence industry has been in large part based on graphical processing units (GPUs), a kind of computer chip that can perform many parallel calculations at the same time, rather than one after the other like the computer processing units (CPUs) that power most computers. 'Flashes of brilliance and frustration': I let an AI agent run my day GPUs were originally developed to assist with computer graphics, as the name suggests, and gaming. "If I have a lot of pixels in a space and I need to do a rotation of this to calculate a new camera view, this is an operation that can be done in parallel, for many different pixels," says Francesco Conti at the University of Bologna in Italy. This ability to do calculations in parallel happened to be useful for training and running AI models, which often use calculations involving vast grids of numbers performed at the same time, called matrix multiplication.
