Watch an albatross give its brand-new chick a very careful cleanup
The massive seabirds' powerful beaks can be surprisingly gentle when preening their babies. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. As thousands of birds nest in the warm sun of Midway Atoll, some tend to their new chicks. In a video posted by Friends of Midway Atoll (FOMA), one of the newest Mōlī (Laysan albatross) chicks gets a careful "beak preen" from its parent. According to FOMA, their beaks are essential survival tools, but can also be used with "precision and gentleness, applying only the pressure needed to tend to a fragile chick."

Snowed in? Watch albatrosses nest on a sunny Pacific island instead
As many as 75,000 mating pairs are waiting for eggs. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. While winter is raging in an unusually large swath of the United States, the weather is balmy for the birds nesting on the Pacific Ocean's Midway Atoll. As many as 75,000 pairs of Laysan albatrosses (or mōlī in Hawaiian) are nesting in the wildlife refuge on the northwestern edge of the Hawaiian Archipelago. Now you can watch these brilliant snow-white birds while avoiding the actual snow with a 24/7 live cam.

Record-breaking 75-year-old mother bird prepares to nest
Wisdom has been laying eggs since the Eisenhower Administration. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. One of the world's most famous birds has returned to her nesting site. Wisdom, the 75-year-old albatross is known as the world's oldest breeding bird . Earlier this month, she returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge in the central Pacific Ocean for the 2025-2026 nesting season.

Evaluating Large Language Models for IUCN Red List Species Information
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly being adopted in conservation to address the biodiversity crisis, yet their reliability for species evaluation is uncertain. This study systematically validates five leading models on 21,955 species across four core IUCN Red List assessment components: taxonomy, conservation status, distribution, and threats. A critical paradox was revealed: models excelled at taxonomic classification (94.9%) but consistently failed at conservation reasoning (27.2% for status assessment). This knowledge-reasoning gap, evident across all models, suggests inherent architectural constraints, not just data limitations. Furthermore, models exhibited systematic biases favoring charismatic vertebrates, potentially amplifying existing conservation inequities. These findings delineate clear boundaries for responsible LLM deployment: they are powerful tools for information retrieval but require human oversight for judgment-based decisions. A hybrid approach is recommended, where LLMs augment expert capacity while human experts retain sole authority over risk assessment and policy.

My LLM might Mimic AAE -- But When Should it?
Sandoval, Sandra C., Acquaye, Christabel, Cobbina, Kwesi, Teli, Mohammad Nayeem, Daumé, Hal III
We examine the representation of African American English (AAE) in large language models (LLMs), exploring (a) the perceptions Black Americans have of how effective these technologies are at producing authentic AAE, and (b) in what contexts Black Americans find this desirable. Through both a survey of Black Americans ($n=$ 104) and annotation of LLM-produced AAE by Black Americans ($n=$ 228), we find that Black Americans favor choice and autonomy in determining when AAE is appropriate in LLM output. They tend to prefer that LLMs default to communicating in Mainstream U.S. English in formal settings, with greater interest in AAE production in less formal settings. When LLMs were appropriately prompted and provided in context examples, our participants found their outputs to have a level of AAE authenticity on par with transcripts of Black American speech.

How to Create Dummy Data in Python
Dummy data is randomly generated data that can be substituted for live data. Whether you are a Developer, Software Engineer, or Data Scientist, sometimes you need dummy data to test what you have built, it can be a web app, mobile app, or machine learning model. If you are using python language, you can use a faker python package to create dummy data of any type, for example, dates, transactions, names, texts, time, and others. Faker is a simple python package that generates fake data with different data types. Faker package is heavily inspired by PHP Faker, Perl Faker, and by Ruby Faker.
