People collaborating on a task synch up brain activity and "the alignment of their activity increased over the course of the experiment as the pairs got better at working as a team, following the rules they'd laid out together".

How much do LLMs “know” about present-day climate?
We asked 17 models for July 1991–2020 temperatures at 15 000+ land points — and many did surprisingly well!

On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°!

In @currentbiology.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I show how these images—known as “visual anagrams”—can help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science. bit.ly/45BVnCZ

Marine heatwaves have devastating effects on marine biodiversity. And they’re on the rise. Impacts have been particularly strong on habitat-forming foundation species like corals, kelp and seagrass. The result? Widespread, cascading impacts on both biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems.

i played Hydlide 3: The Space Memories a bit more. i have not successfully saved afterward yet, but i made it to level 3 once and got enough experience for it a second time.

the more i play it, the more impressed by the environment work i am. both the sprites and how the screens flow are great.

Lego is coming out with a near 1:1 replica of Nintendo’s iconic Game Boy handheld video game system. “It’s not playable, but you can insert & remove Lego game cartridges and use different lenticular screens to pretend.” Total nostalgia bomb. [kottke.org]

We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall.
Does he *really* not know better? Or assume his readers won't?
