Trump's new world order has become real and Europe is having to adjust fast Downtown Munich is best-known for chic shops and flashy fast cars but right now its streets are bedecked with posters advertising next generation drones. Europe's security under construction boasts the slogan on an eye-catching set of sleek black-and-white photographs, festooned across a scaffolding-clad church on one of this town's best known pedestrian boulevards. Such an unapologetic public display of military muscle would have been unimaginable here just a few years ago, but the world outside Germany is changing fast, and taking this country with it. The southern region of Bavaria has become Germany's leading defence technology hub, focusing on AI, drones and aerospace. People here, like most other Europeans, say they feel increasingly exposed - squeezed between an expansionist Russia and an economically aggressive China to the east, and an increasingly unpredictable, former best pal, the United States, to the west.

Advances in in computer vision have lead to classifiers that nearly match human performance in many applications. However, while the human visual system is remarkably versatile in extracting semantic meaning out of even degraded and heavily obfuscated images, today's visual classifiers significantly lag behind in emulating the same robustness, and often yield incorrect outputs in the presence of natural and adversarial degradations.

This intervention significantly improves the performance of LLaMA models on the TruthfulQA benchmark.

While the ImageNet dataset has been driving computer vision research over the past decade, significant label noise and ambiguity have made top-1 accuracy an insufficient measure of further progress.

Could Ukraine hold a presidential election right now? Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Ukraine's capital Kyiv came under Russian missile attack early on Thursday morning, the country's military administration said, with witnesses reporting the sound of explosions. There were no initial reports of casualties and the extent of damage from the attack was not known.

Shadow or no shadow, the rodents have a special set of ecological skills. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Despite advances in meteorological technology, we still keep a close eye on a rodent's burrow every February 2 for a weather forecast. While groundhogs --also called woodchucks--have been associated with the end of winter and beginning of spring for centuries, there's more to know about our rodent friends than their amateur Al Roker'ing. Unlike bears, groundhogs are true hibernators.

Sales of the iPhone hit an all-time high in the final three months of last year, tech firm Apple reported on Thursday. Revenue rose by 16% compared to the same period last year to $144bn (£82.5bn) - the strongest growth since 2021 - thanks to a jump in sales in China, as well as Europe, the Americas, and Japan. However, sales in other parts of the company were less positive. Wearables and accessories, which include things like the Apple Watch and AirPods, fell by roughly 3%. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said the iPhone's boost in sales meant the firm was in supply chase mode.

Should you eat invasive species? Lionfish ceviche is surprisingly tasty. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. "By definition, invasive species are harmful in some regard," says Jacob Barney, a professor of invasive plant ecology at Virginia Tech University. So when we eat them, he adds, "we turn that harm into something positive."
