Raiders favored at -3 over Miami Dolphins as Malik Willis and Kirk Cousins face off in NFL week one

College football's chaos era is here: Texas rallies, Oregon falls and Lane Kiffin eyes return to Ole Miss America's women's basketball epic reaches its climax with national unity on the line in FIBA World Cup final Oklahoma State stuns Oregon, deals early season blow to Ducks' national title hopes Former ESPN host hypocritically calls network a'political lobbying firm' after Ted Cruz appearance Team USA survives Spain scare with fourth-quarter surge to reach FIBA Women's World Cup final It's only week two, but Kansas QB Isaiah Marshall might have completed the pass of the year WWE's Roxanne Perez earns No 1 contender spot for AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at Triplemania 34 Trespasser stopped by security at Kamala Harris' Malibu property Kyrsten Sinema: Trump has been'tremendous' on AI data centers Charles Payne: America voted for the'reindustrialization' of the nation Charles Payne: America voted for the'reindustrialization' of the nation Israeli ambassador to US: It's always been Israel, and always will be Israel Charles Payne praises'phenomenal' blue-collar boom under Trump With Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and their starting quarterback all gone, De'Von Achane carries Miami's hopes The famed agent tells OutKick in a recent interview that he would tell the rookie quarterback to look at other star's who began their career on the bench. I wish I had an opening line that was memorable like Scott Hanson over on Red Zone. There isn't anything I can write that will provide the same level of excitement that 7 hours of commercial-free football gives. That's what is on the horizon for us, though. We have hours of uninterrupted football, and our first full schedule.


Parrots use names to talk to each other

How marine mammals stay hydrated in a salty sea

Popular Science

This adorable sea lion has to eat five to eight percent of its body weight every day to stay healthy and hydrated. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Over the long and complicated course of evolutionary history, mammals independently turned towards water to make a home multiple times. While many of the warm-blooded animals that abandoned dry land for a watery habitat no longer exist, we still have plenty of stunning examples: Think dolphins, whales, manatees, porpoises. There's even a whole suborder of carnivores called the pinnipeds, which includes seals, sea lions, and walruses who move between land and water.


Florida can't decide if its official saltwater mammal is a dolphin or a porpoise

Environment Conservation Ocean Florida can't decide if its official saltwater mammal is a dolphin or a porpoise They are not the same animal. Dolphins (right) are more common in Florida, while porpoises (left) are spotted much less frequently. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. States have a surprising number of official symbols . While most people would expect them to have an official motto, seal, and flag, there can also be a state beverage, muffin, soil, fossil, and poem, to name a few.

On the class of coding optimality of human languages and the origins of Zipf's law

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Here we present a new class of optimality for coding systems. Members of that class are displaced linearly from optimal coding and thus exhibit Zipf's law, namely a power-law distribution of frequency ranks. Within that class, Zipf's law, the size-rank law and the size-probability law form a group-like structure. We identify human languages that are members of the class. All languages showing sufficient agreement with Zipf's law are potential members of the class. In contrast, there are communication systems in other species that cannot be members of that class for exhibiting an exponential distribution instead but dolphins and humpback whales might. We provide a new insight into plots of frequency versus rank in double logarithmic scale. For any system, a straight line in that scale indicates that the lengths of optimal codes under non-singular coding and under uniquely decodable encoding are displaced by a linear function whose slope is the exponent of Zipf's law. For systems under compression and constrained to be uniquely decodable, such a straight line may indicate that the system is coding close to optimality. We provide support for the hypothesis that Zipf's law originates from compression and define testable conditions for the emergence of Zipf's law in compressing systems.


Dolphins may be getting an Alzheimer's-like disease due to this neurotoxin

Popular Science

Environment Conservation Ocean Dolphins may be getting an Alzheimer's-like disease due to this neurotoxin The neurotoxins, found in algal blooms, primarily affect the body's nervous system. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For marine biologists, dolphins are often viewed as sentinel species, or animals that shed light on the health of the ocean . Along with whales, porpoises, and other cetacean species, dolphins are one way that researchers know to sound the alarm about environmental hazards that might affect the ocean as a whole and potentially humans. In this context, researchers have connected neurotoxins from algal blooms to brain changes associated with an Alzheimer's-like disease in dolphins in Florida.


11 dolphins stranded in Cape Cod rescued by nonprofit

Popular Science

'These strandings happen fast, and every minute counts.' Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Chipman's Cove in Wellfleet, Massachusetts can be treacherous for the sea creatures that must navigate it. Shallow bays, complex tidal flats, and an arm of land that shelters it from the greater harbor and Cape Cod Bay make it a great summer destination for humans and a notorious stranding hotspot for marine life. Early on Saturday, September 13, worried individuals called the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) stranding hotline (its 508-743 9548, in case you ever need it), warning the nonprofit that a number of dolphins were in Chipman's Cove.


Google made an AI model to talk to dolphins

Popular Science

A new large language model AI system may soon allow humans to converse with dolphins. Scheduled to debut in the coming months, researchers will test to see if DolphinGemma and its companion Cetacean Hearing Augmentation Telemetry (CHAT) system can translate and mimic some of the mammal's own complex vocalizations. If successful, the breakthrough may represent the culmination of over four decades' worth of work, documentation, and conservation efforts.. Dolphins are some of the Earth's smartest and most communicative animals. Their social interactions are so complex that researchers at the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP) have spent the last 40 years attempting to decipher them. In the process, WDP has amassed decades' worth of underwater audio and video documenting a single community of Atlantic spotted dolphins in the Bahamas.


Dolphin: A Large-Scale Automatic Speech Recognition Model for Eastern Languages

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This report introduces Dolphin, a large-scale multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) model that extends the Whisper architecture to support a wider range of languages. Our approach integrates in-house proprietary and open-source datasets to refine and optimize Dolphin's performance. The model is specifically designed to achieve notable recognition accuracy for 40 Eastern languages across East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, while also supporting 22 Chinese dialects. Experimental evaluations show that Dolphin significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art open-source models across various languages. To promote reproducibility and community-driven innovation, we are making our trained models and inference source code publicly available.
