A new paper projecting Joshua tree habitat under future climate based on incredibly high-resolution distribution data, from Joshua Tree Genome Project collaborators at USGS. They estimate up to 80% loss of suitable habitat by 2100 under the worst-case climate scenario.

Save the Redwoods League is working to purchase and conserve Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion,
a missing link to connect 34 square miles of prime coastal redwood habitat in Sonoma County.
As the largest remaining unprotected commercial acreage of redwoods south of the Russian River,
this is a high priority acquisition for the League,
one we must act on right away.

Anthropic's test of 16 top AI models from OpenAI and others found that, in some cases, they resorted to malicious behavior to avoid replacement or achieve goals (Ina Fried/Axios)

Top AI models will lie, cheat and steal to reach goals, Anthropic finds
The research used hypothetical scenarios, but those situations could get real fast.

Teilchen hinter Dunkler Materie? Mit einem Trick wohl Spur von Axionen gefunden
Axionen sind bisher nur hypothetische Elementarteilchen, die die Dunkle Materie bilden könnten. Mit einem Trick wurde nun womöglich erstmals eine Spur gefunden.

Modeling Habitat Shifts: Integrating Convolutional Neural Networks and Tabular Data for Species Migration Prediction
Due to climate-induced changes, many habitats are experiencing range shifts away from their traditional geographic locations (Piguet, 2011). We propose a solution to accurately model whether bird species are present in a specific habitat through the combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) (O'Shea, 2015) and tabular data. Our approach makes use of satellite imagery and environmental features (e.g., temperature, precipitation, elevation) to predict bird presence across various climate…

Ich werde nicht sagen was passiert ist, aber Ich bitte die Heimvolkshochschule Hustedt ihre Ferienzeiten irgendwo außer ihrem Telefonbeantworter zu hinterlegen (z.B. Google Maps oder der Webseite) ansonsten fährt man 2 Stunden um seinen dort vergessenen Laptop abzuholen und fährt nun zwei Stunden wieder zurück, ohne Laptop.
Rein hypothetisch könnte das einem Menschen widerfahren.

The proposed sell-off of federal lands in the Senate budget bill includes a LOT of Joshua tree habitat—the trees grow in some of the largest areas of undeveloped land in the lower 48 states
The place where eastern and western Joshua trees hybridize, north of Creech AFB, is included
