Functional trade-offs can affect phenotypic variation. Here, the authors examine trade-offs between bite force and speed in 132 carnivore species, finding that optimising for velocity can be obtained in more ways than optimising for force, and this may impact morphological variability.

Zuck just revealed the secret ingredient in his bromance with Jensen Huang
Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang’s friendship appears to be Silicon Valley’s latest bromance.
They have a lot in common: both run Big Tech firms worth trillions, they each have a signature jacket, and now they’re bonding over cheesesteaks.
The Meta CEO said the dynamic duo like to break bread and revealed what they chat about when they get together.
Scientists just found an evolutionary holy grail
A new report traces the extraordinary lineage of a common Amazonian butterfly—and estimates the hybridization of its two parental species happened around 180,000 years ago.
BLINK: Multimodal Large Language Models Can See but Not Perceive
From upenn BLINK multimodal large language models can see but not perceive.
From UPenn.
Multimodal large language models can see but not perceive.
We introduce Blink, a new benchmark for multimodal language models (LLMs) that focuses on core visual perception abilities not found in other evaluations.

Ancient humans lived inside a lava tube in the Arabian desert
Underground tunnels created by lava flows provided humans with shelter for thousands of years beneath the hot desert landscape of Saudi Arabia.
Retro-reflectors could help future cities keep their cool
Engineers at Princeton University have quantified the cooling benefits of a simple solution for beating urban heat: reflecting solar radiation back from whence it came.
Link Verified between Turbulence and Entropy
The verification of a 63-year-old hypothesis indicates that nonequilibrium statistical mechanics could act as a theoretical framework for describing turbulence.
New model finds previous cell division calculations ignore drivers at the molecular scale
When a single bacterial cell divides into two during periods of rapid growth, it doesn’t split in half once it reaches a predetermined size. Instead, data has shown, a cell will divide once it has added a certain amount of mass.
