Emerging Technologies and Methods in Wide-Area Search for Nuclear Materials
L. E. Sinclair, D. A. McCormack
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.00831 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.00831 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.00831

Abstract: Canada, a Tier 1 nuclear nation involved in uranium mining and refining, operating nuclear power reactors, and with a Small Modular Reactor action plan, maintains a rigorous nuclear security infrastructure. The Nuclear Emergency Response team at Natural Resources Canada fulfills federal mandates in high-sensitivity air- and ground-based mobile survey for prevention, detection and response. A robust operational framework exists for deployment of traditional large-volume NaI(Tl)-based detection suites. At the same time, a research arm examines emerging non-nuclear technologies which can enhance the capabilities of the operational team. Herein, the potential for uncrewed mobile systems in nuclear security and emergency response operations is discussed. The impact of new technologies such as silicon photomultipliers, gamma imagers and self-shielding directional detectors is presented, and the use of high-performance computing in modelling of system response functions is discussed. Finally, a capability to extrapolate to the location of a source some distance away from a survey trajectory is shown. The extrapolation method includes propagation of the measurement error to the extrapolated region, essential information for nuclear response operators to know if a region is actually clear of radioactivity or not.

Kind of a dud article, given it promises mid than it delivers about the actual spawning process, but it contains an amazing fact:
Apparently Sigmund Freud did an unsuccessful stint as a marine biologist and was tasked with dissecting 400 male eels to try to find their reproductive organs, which he couldn't because despite being adults they aren't sexually mature until they migrate to their spawning grounds.
I feel like this explains a LOT about Freud's theories' focus on sexual organs (especially of the eel-shaped variety), in light of... Freud's theories.

Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.
You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy.

"Vibe coding" really is indistinguishable from playing a slot machine.
There's (for some) a degree of fun based on the hope of getting something valuable for a relatively small investment. When it won't work you just keep pulling the lever. At some point you surely will win, right?
Also with slot machines the bank always wins while slowly draining your resources.
It’s important to distinguish two different hypothetical ways in which gen AI can constitute a massive wealth transfer:
Scenario 1, “LLMs are the new petrochemicals:” Gen AI is actually effective for all sorts of tasks as advertised. It becomes a necessity for economic participation / useful work / whatever, and ownership of the data model and/or data centers thus means control of high-value resources.
