Vielä 2023 alussa söin erittäin paljon lihaa, makkaraa, juustoa, rasvaisia ruokia

En itsekään ymmärtänyt miten paljon taustalla vaikuttivat lapsuus- ja nuoruusvuosilta jatkunut epävarmuus ja huono itsetunto, joita paikkasi toimimalla kuten miehiset miehet

Jee - kyllä kannatti luopua mm. kotimaisista elokuvista ja laadukkaista sotepalveluista.

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

If you know anyone interested in starting a Master's project working on ammonoid phylogenetics (or the phylogenetics of a mollusc group spanning the OAE2 event in the Late Cretaceous), then ask them to get in touch with me.

The situation is a little tricky, as it would be funded by the remainder…

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

Black Vulture, by Paul Crook

And did you know that today is ALSO International Vulture Awareness Day?

Black Vultures are a highly social species that often follows Turkey Vultures to carcasses. In flight, look for a short tail, flat-winged silhouette, and white wingtips.

Do you have a favorite vulture species or vulture fact?

#SciArtSeptember 4 - Riverbank

Many mammals across the world have evolved an otter-like body shape and lifestyle. Perhaps the oddest and one of the most obscure is the West African giant otter shrew (Potamogale velox).

Not an otter, not a shrew, but a distant cousin of elephants!

Katydid in the phlox..the sound of late Summer evenings is the singing of the katydids..they can be very loud, especially in a group where they synchronize their songs and bow their wings for more intense resonance..

On August 11, 2013 Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem, captured a set of images of Saturn and Titan. This is a natural color composite of three images ISS snapped in red, green, and blue filters. Saturn and Titan appear as crescents here because Cassini was almost completely behind the worlds as they faced the Sun.

These images were taken on August 11, 2013 and received on Earth August 14, 2013. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 1,065,949 miles (1,715,478 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the red, green, and blue filters.

There has been strong night-time bird migration in recent nights, for example last night.

The new radar-based tool has revealed that birds can reach heights of almost 4 km (!) over southern Finland.

IL kertoi Hesen hinnoittelevan kasvishampurilaiset edullisemmin kuin lihapurilaiset. Ja tein sillee tyhmästi, että luin kommenttiosiota Facebookista ja kuulemma
- on rasisimia tämä
- kasvissyöjien pitäisi perustaa oma valtio
- on prosessoitu ja epäterveellisempi (tuolla terveysruuan tyyssijassa!)

Orpon hallitus: Hallituksen päätökset tukevat alkavaa talouskasvua

"Edellä mainitun korkeakouluille kohdistuvan säästön lisäksi niiden perusrahoitusta vähennetään 30 miljoonalla eurolla."

"Korkeakoulujen T&K-toiminnan vahvistamiseen kohdennetaan yhteensä 30 miljoonaa euroa."

Ja näin muutetaan yliopistoja tuotekehitysosastoiksi.

Voiko joku selittää mulle, miten koulutustasoa nostetaan leikkaamalla korkeakoulujen rahoitusta? Humanistin matikka ei riitä tämän yhtälön ratkaisemiseen.

Tutkimuksen mukaan poikien huonompaa koulumenestystä selittäis poikatyypilliset arvot

Vahvistaa aikasempaa tutkimusta kuinka pojat ja poikakulttuurit suhtautuu negatiivisesti koulumyönteisyyteen

Eli erot ei selittyis persoonaalisuus tai kyvykkyyseroilla tai koska "koulu suosii tyttöjä" 1/7

Trying to get a good video of wasps helped me to fear them a little bit less. I realized they really didn't want me to come too close. And every time they flew towards me they actually weren't attacking me, they were flying past me and straight to the direction where their hive supposedly was.

Some more fun fall flowers. If you’re shooting macro on a day like this, one thing you can do is turn yourself into a cloud and lean over the subject to put it in shadow. That gets rid of the hard highlights you get from direct sun.
