This month on All Space Considered, Griffith Observatory welcomed Dr. Joel Leja, Associate Professor of astronomy & astrophysics at The Pennsylvania State University, to discuss his research on the processes of galaxy formation derived from a combination of statistics, machine learning, and deep galaxy surveys with telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope: #LittleRedDots

"Der Soziologe Maurice Crul und die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Frans Lelie sind bei ihrer Studie [...] darauf gestoßen, dass eine nicht unerhebliche Gruppe in der alten Mehrheitsgesellschaft in der Praxis positive Erfahrungen mit ihrer migrantischen Nachbarschaft macht, aber dennoch Vielfalt theoretisch negativ sieht. Das gleiche gilt auch andersrum. Menschen, die Vielfalt positiv sehen, lassen sich oft durch praktische negative Erfahrungen nicht beeinflussen." (1/4)

Recycling Glass into Sand Helps Protect Louisiana’s Coast from Erosion | Happy Eco News
Recycling glass into sand by New Orleans startup Glass Half Full processes 100,000 pounds monthly to restore Louisiana's eroding coastline, creating disaster relief materials and supporting wetland protection while diverting bottles from landfills.

News story on a significant earthquake in Uzbekistan, 50 years ago, May 17, 1976 (Fargo-Moorhead Forum archives). Mentions the Medvedev scale, apparently now the the MSK or MSK-64 scale. That scale is not mentioned in North American, physical geology textbooks I have seen, although it's apparently similar to the Mercalli scale.
Also, the first page of a scientific paper on it, from 1980. ⚒️🧪

"We’re delighted to announce the first #GalaxyZoo workflow to include images from the NSF-DOE Vera C #Rubin Observatory, using #galaxies drawn from its first Data Preview": https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2026/05/12/a-first-galaxy-zoorubin-project/ - "[t]he new workflow went live on the site just now, but with only 10,359 subjects it won’t stick around for long, so do jump in and get classifying."

Era meio óbvio que tomaria mais gols. Marrocos precisando se abrir fica complicado.

AI red teaming is not your father's red teaming. As models become agents that can take actions in the real world, red teams are now testing everything from prompt injections and misinformation to autonomous behavior and business-process failures.
Check out my latest CSO feature for more on this trend.
Many thanks to Microsoft's Ram Shankar Siva Kumar and Pete Bryan, Cisco's Tom Gillis, Palo Alto Networks' Ian Swanson, and HackerOne's Dane Sherrets for their…

AI red teaming comes of age
As enterprises rush to deploy copilots and autonomous agents, security teams are discovering that testing AI systems requires skills, tools, and assumptions that traditional red teaming was never designed to provide.

The university has just declared that one of its three goals in the years to come is "Advancing responsible AI adoption at scale." These goals get written into every major project the university undertakes, including a large number faculty research proposals. For years to come, then, we're going to plow even more money and support into AI while neglecting those who refuse to engage. And don't be fooled - "responsible" here is veneer, signalling our apparent commit…

SDSS J110546.07 145202.4 - The First Long-duration Radio Changing-look NLS1 Galaxy: #BlackHole at the centre of a nearby galaxy is growing exceptionally fast, and is producing a burst of radio emission that has never been observed before: https://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressreleases/2026/a-nearby-black-hole-as-a-window-into-the-early-universe - with characteristics that are expected in the early Universe, this unique galaxy provides important insights into the processes that governed the growth of the first black holes.
