Interesting piece on the #Arctic #SeaIce and it's (improving) representation in global climate models by Gavin Schmidt over on @realclimate, I'm not entirely sure all of the improvement is for the right reasons, there are probably compensating biases, it would be interesting to see if the models get the regional signal correct in different parts of the Arctic, but overall I agree with this piece, there have been some big steps forward in global models, the regional level is often not very well represented though.

Most oceans over the globe have experienced surface warming during the past century,
but the subpolar Atlantic is quite otherwise.
The sea surface temperature cooling trend to the south of Greenland,
-- known as the North Atlantic Warming Hole,
-- has raised debate over whether it is driven by the slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
Here we use observations as a benchmark and climate models as a tool to demonstrate that only models sim…

Weakened Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation causes the historical North Atlantic Warming Hole - Communications Earth & Environment
The North Atlantic Warming Hole is tied to a weakened Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the past century, according to climate models and observation data.

Quanta Magazine Staff Writer Yasemin Saplakoglu describes the various ongoing inter-disciplinary efforts to advance our scientific understanding of the Human brain. Computer scientists and computational neuroscientists collaborate as the latter borrow mathematical models from the former, and studies ways to incorporate new biological data to enhance, or supplant existing computational models.

Merge Hijacking: Backdoor Attacks to Model Merging of Large Language Models
Model merging for Large Language Models (LLMs) directly fuses the parameters of different models finetuned on various tasks, creating a unified model for multi-domain tasks. However, due to potential vulnerabilities in models available on open-source platforms, model merging is susceptible to backdoor attacks. In this paper, we propose Merge Hijacking, the first backdoor attack targeting model merging in LLMs. The attacker constructs a malicious upload model and releases it. Once a victim user …
