Researchers identify 22 key areas for protecting struggling giant otters
“They’re big, like an overweight Peruvian dog,” is how photographer Santiago Romaní describes giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis). In 2022, on his trip to the Imiría Regional Conservation Area, a protected area in the Ucayali region of Peru’s east-central Amazon, he observed the aquatic river giants. That same year, the area’s administration confirmed the presence of […]

«Javier Milei’s government’s punishing budget cuts have forced researchers to take up work as electricians, school teachers or Uber drivers»
It's the speedrun of the decline that researchers are seeing eg in France, where salaries for researchers have been decimated over the years, just within months instead 😞

I think the root of the “AI” evil is when AI researchers in the 1960s recognized that they outrageously underestimated the complexity of the human mind.
They became utterly humiliated by their self-congratulatory promises from the 1950s that AGI was just a few years away—and then went full goblin mode that’s lasting to this day, even if the original researchers (like Minsky*) died long ago.

Forward Variable Selection in Ultra-High Dimensional Linear Regression Using Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization
We investigate forward variable selection for ultra-high dimensional linear regression using a Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure. Unlike the commonly used Forward Regression (FR) method, which computes regression residuals using an increasing number of selected features, or the Orthogonal Greedy Algorithm (OGA), which selects variables based on their marginal correlations with the residuals, our proposed Gram-Schmidt Forward Regression (GSFR) simplifies the selection process by evaluatin…
