Canada, Alaska suspend fishing of Yukon River chinook salmon for 7 years | CBC News
In a bid to help the recovery of the Yukon River chinook salmon run, the federal government and the State of Alaska have agreed to implement a seven-year moratorium on fishing the species.

I had another realisation today while comparing my OpenSCAD model of B-DNA to the PDB model: the hydrogen bonds overlap the centre of the DNA helix, which means that the bond from the sugar to the hydrogen bonds to the other sugar is not a straight line.
This will complicate my constructions, but my biggest struggle is normalising that sugar-phosphate bond angle so that I have a consistent reference point for every base.
I'm almost ready to tackle that mountain.

Newsom requests federal disaster funds as chinook salmon season faces likely closure
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday he was requesting a federal fishery disaster declaration, after regional supervisors recommended a full closure of ocean salmon season for the second year in a row. The Pacific Fishery Management Council — which oversees fishing along the Washington, Oregon and California coasts — voiced unanimous support on Wednesday for shuttering…

LLMs have what robots lack: access to knowledge about practically everything humans have ever written, from quantum physics to K-pop to defrosting a salmon fillet.
In turn, robots have what LLMs lack: physical bodies that can interact with their surroundings, connecting words to reality.
It seems only logical to connect mindless robots and bodiless LLMs so that, as one 2022 paper puts it, “the robot can act as the language model's ‘hands and eyes,’ while the language model …

Orca are serious predators, who hunt cooperatively in groups, so it shouldn't be surprising that they can take down large prey. This is particularly more likely given the reductions in some of their #Salmon prey off the #BC coast.

Back in the day when I was 2yrs out of high school and decided to backpack in Australia/NZ for a winter, I made the trip off the Island and to a friend's house in Vancouver only to realize I left my passport behind at a friend's house on the other side of the water in Nanaimo.
Today was not dissimilar. We got 20min of the way to the ferry only to discover I forgot our bag with all our documents.
After a bit of panic and wrangling and a kind assist from family bringing th…

Can a rudderless species survive?

Can a rudderless species survive?
Some species of salmon and sea turtle are famously good at finding their birth place to reproduce after having travelled vast expanses of ocean. In contrast, imagine now a species (maybe ancestral to the salmon or turtle) which has to find its birth place to reproduce but has no navigation skills and relies on chance alone. Would such an imaginary species survive? According to our (very simple) model it would survive if and only if the probability that a given individual find its birth place is…

SALMON: Self-Alignment with Instructable Reward Models
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on response demonstrations combined with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) constitutes a powerful paradigm for aligning LLM-based AI agents. However, a significant limitation of such an approach is its dependency on high-quality human annotations, making its application to intricate tasks challenging due to difficulties in obtaining consistent response demonstrations and in-distribution response preferences. This paper presents a novel approach, name…

The $W(E_6)$-invariant birational geometry of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces
The moduli space $Y = Y(E_6)$ of marked cubic surfaces is one of the most classical moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, dating back to the nineteenth century work of Cayley and Salmon. Modern interest in $Y$ was restored in the 1980s by Naruki's explicit construction of a $W(E_6)$-equivariant smooth projective compactification $\overline{Y}$ of $Y$, and in the 2000s by Hacking, Keel, and Tevelev's construction of the KSBA stable pair compactification $\widetilde{Y}$ of $Y$ as a natural sequenc…
