Very interesting, there is now some #research as to why #dogs #tilt their #heads - and there appears to be strong correlation between those that do and their ability to correctly #interpret #human #commands https://www.science.org/content/article/..
So #arxiv are having their #diversity bollocks: https://blog.arxiv.org/2021/10/20/save-t.. Apparently #africa needs its *own* #academic #research - despite it being in #english and apparently being as #valuable as any other #research https://info.africarxiv.org/ It's just ultra weird.
I this #article by #zerohedge is jumping the gun a little: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/leake.. Yes, they used #aborted #fetus #cells from many years ago, which were taken *many* years ago and do not exist in the #vaccine . They are literally just for #research purposes only.
Looks like #darpa are publicly #denying #daszak #funding #gof #research - after #china's #wuhan #lab requested funding for #covid #bat #experiments in 2018 to the tune of $14 million: https://www.lotuseaters.com/darpa-denied.. What an absolute mess this is turning into.
Interesting work by #google #research for #indoor #autonomous #navigation https://ai.googleblog.com/2021/09/pathdr.. #entropy is a very good cross- #agent measure, even when #sensors and #actuators differ.
This is actual insanity, the #university of #edinburgh is banning the used of #alice and #bob for #cybersecurity #research because it is "too #western ": https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09.. See my #hackernews #comment here about the true absurdity of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=284.. Likely to be #downvoted in oblivion as per.
Just watched the #film #exmachina again, it reminded me of how epic and scary #generalintelligence will be. I really hope that I will be involved in the process of creating it, but also guiding the #research in such a way to avoid such dangers. Also, that #bunker would be easily #escapable at the end of the #movie ...

It seems like an overreach for a glorified #bank - a service that people *need* in order to be able to survive. In the past prominent figures such a #tommyrobinson have entirely lost *all* access to banking, apparently in modern times some opinion mean you lose the right to use money, despite not being imprisoned.
Doesn't seem very neat in this #volcano #sensor - but I guess it doesn't need to be: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/14/peeking-.. Very cool insight into #research equipment.
#flawed #research finds flaws: https://www.axios.com/mediocre-men-fail-.. The comments are well worth reading on #hackernews https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=275..
