What a cold winter means for ticks and mosquitoes

Popular Science

Like many of us, the bugs have been hunkered down waiting for spring to return. CDC/ James Gathany; William L. Nicholson, Ph.D. (left). Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. With days to go until the official first day of spring, it was a tale of two winters in the continental United States. Colorado's mountains had record low snow levels, while Salt Lake City and Phoenix were among the cities who had their highest winter temperatures on record .


These birds listen to their parents to avoid being eaten

Popular Science

Jackdaw chicks learn not to sweat the small stuff. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. How do chicks learn safe bird calls from ones that mean possible imminent death? According to new research, jackdaw (two species of bird in the genus) chicks listen to their elders--but there's also an evolutionary instinct at play. In a study recently published in the journal, researchers played the sound of predator calls paired with adult jackdaw alarm calls or the neutral adult jackdaw contact calls to 20 to 30-day-old jackdaw nestlings across 39 wild nests in southwestern England.


Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more

The Guardian

Switching to big tech alternatives is easier than you might imagine. Switching to big tech alternatives is easier than you might imagine. T here's not much to love about big tech these days. So many ills can be laid at its door: social media harms, misinformation, polarisation, mining and misuse of personal data, environmental negligence, tax avoidance, the list goes on. Added to which, Silicon Valley's leaders seem all too keen to cosy up to the Trump administration, to shower the president with bribes - sorry, gifts - and remain silent about his worsening political overreach. And that's before we get to the rampant " enshittification ", as the tech writer Cory Doctorow describes it, which means that by design many big tech products have become less useful and more extractive than they were when we originally signed up to them.




Text Alignment Is An Efficient Unified Model for Massive NLP Tasks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language models (LLMs), typically designed as a function of next-word prediction, have excelled across extensive NLP tasks. Despite the generality, next-word prediction is often not an efficient formulation for many of the tasks, demanding an extreme scale of model parameters (10s or 100s of billions) and sometimes yielding suboptimal performance. In practice, it is often desirable to build more efficient models--despite being less versatile, they still apply to a substantial subset of problems, delivering on par or even superior performance with much smaller model sizes.
