Ancient pterosaurs may have taken to the skies far earlier and more explosively than birds, evolving flight at their very origin despite having relatively small brains. Using advanced CT imaging, scientists reconstructed the brain cavities of pterosaur fossils and their close relatives, uncovering surprising clues—such as enlarged optic lobes—that hint at a rapid leap into powered flight. Their findings contrast sharply with the slow, stepwise evolution seen in birds, whose brains expanded over time to supp

Anthropic выпустила Fable 5 — и я задумался, не движемся ли мы не в ту сторону

«9 июня Anthropic выпустила Claude Fable 5 — первую публично доступную модель класса Mythos, той самой, которую в апреле сочли слишком мощной для публики. Релиз впечатляет по бенчмаркам, но чем дольше я его читал, тем сильнее крепло ощущение: модель дороже вдвое, медленнее, тратит лимиты по двойной ставке, а на части запросов сама себя понижает до Opus. Разбираю релиз по фактам и рассуждаю, почему удешевление и ускорение, возможно, важнее, чем очередные... Read more

Scientists have uncovered evidence that autism may include at least two biologically distinct subtypes, each marked by a different pattern of brain communication. By combining brain scans from nearly 1,000 people with autism with insights from 20 genetically engineered mouse models, researchers identified a “hyperconnectivity” subtype, where brain regions communicate more than usual, and a “hypoconnectivity” subtype, where communication is reduced.

Scientists have confirmed that a mysterious Utah earthquake first detected in 1979 really did occur nearly 90 kilometers underground—far deeper than anyone thought earthquakes could happen beneath a continent. By reanalyzing decades of seismic data, researchers identified a rare class of "continental mantle earthquakes" occurring deep in Earth’s upper mantle, where rock is expected to slowly flow rather than suddenly break.

Researchers found that people taking these medications were less likely to develop substance use disorders involving alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, opioids, and other drugs, while those already struggling with addiction experienced fewer overdoses, hospitalizations, emergency visits, and...
