Un diputado del PP en Valencia ataca a uno de Compromís que fue detenido en la flotilla: “Qué gordito has salido de Auschwitz” 🔗 tinyurl.com/n8zefp3u

Mazón no habló con Feijóo el día de la dana hasta las 21.27 horas, cuando ya se había consumado la catástrofe El presidente del Gobierno valenciano aporta documentación a la comisión de investigación de la dana en las Corts, pero sigue ocultando el ititnerario de su coche oficial y el registro de llamadas pre...

Feijóo mintió en una situación tan grave como esta y lo primero que hizo fue viajar a Valencia para señalar a la AEMET y a la Confederación Hidrográfica como culpables. Y eso súmale las convenciones del PP en la que vitorean a Mazón, sabiendo lo que sabemos. IMPERDONABLE

YouTube video by La salud de la humanidad 87 - VIDEO DENUNCIA: Privatizar la sanidad MATA

Privatizar la sanidad mata. No es una opinión. Los datos lo demuestran. Goodair y Reeves lo mostraron para el sistema sanitario británico. Lo estamos viendo con el cribado de cáncer de mama en Andalucía. Lo vemos en Madrid, Baleares y Cataluña. Lo denunciamos en 2023

I ussualy mix different episodes (from different channels) in my podcast playlist. Having to skip a long ASMR recording while driving or doing the dishes will be a little anoying.
The short answer is no but probably a yes in a different format...

‘Earth system engineers’ and the cumulative impact of organisms in deep time Understanding the role of humans as ‘ecosystem engineers’ requires a deep-time perspective rooted in evolutionary history and the fossil record. However, no conceptual framework exists for studying the rise of ecosystem engineering in deep time, requiring us to consider effects that fall outside the scope of traditional definitions. Here, we present a new framework applicable to both modern and ancient engineering-type effects. We propose a new term – ‘Earth system engineering’ – to describe biological processes that alter the structure and function of planetary spheres, and which combines core tenets of ecosystem engineering, niche construction, and legacy effects. We illustrate this framework using the fossil record, and show how it can be applied across the tree of life, and throughout Earth history.

Foundation Models for Bioacoustics -- a Comparative Review Automated bioacoustic analysis is essential for biodiversity monitoring and conservation, requiring advanced deep learning models that can adapt to diverse bioacoustic tasks. This article presents a comprehensive review of large-scale pretrained bioacoustic foundation models and systematically investigates their transferability across multiple bioacoustic classification tasks. We overview bioacoustic representation learning including major pretraining data sources and benchmarks. On this basis, we review bioacoustic foundation models by thoroughly analysing design decisions such as model architecture, pretraining scheme, and training paradigm. Additionally, we evaluate selected foundation models on classification tasks from the BEANS and BirdSet benchmarks, comparing the generalisability of learned representations under both linear and attentive probing strategies. Our comprehensive experimental analysis reveals that BirdMAE, trained on large-scale bird song data with a self-supervised objective, achieves the best performance on the BirdSet benchmark. On BEANS, BEATs$_{NLM}$, the extracted encoder of the NatureLM-audio large audio model, is slightly better. Both transformer-based models require attentive probing to extract the full performance of their representations. ConvNext$_{BS}$ and Perch models trained with supervision on large-scale bird song data remain competitive for passive acoustic monitoring classification tasks of BirdSet in linear probing settings. Training a new linear classifier has clear advantages over evaluating these models without further training. While on BEANS, the baseline model BEATs trained with self-supervision on AudioSet outperforms bird-specific models when evaluated with attentive probing. These findings provide valuable guidance for practitioners selecting appropriate models to adapt them to new bioacoustic classification tasks via probing.

"Foundation Models for Bioacoustics -- a Comparative Review" https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.01277 - a very good review/benchmarking paper on the latest deep learning models for bioacoustics. Recommended. Covers many of the important aspects of models. #bioacoustics #deeplearning
