Cards (savage) a game
Feedback does not receive time or inclination in all editions American Journal of PhysicsBut fortunately New scientistAlex Wilkins and Carmala Padavic-Callaghan’s physics journalists must be hired for this purpose. Hence our new knowledge with a paper with the right “Ergodic Lagrangian dynamics in a superhero universe”.
The point that is immediately striking is a list of two people. One Ian TregillisThe theoretical physicist is the new Mexico of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the writer published. The other is George Rr Martin, the release of Sci-Fi and fantastic books Nightflyers, FEVRE dream and, of course, An ice and a fire song series as it was adapted for television Thrones game. This is “Publication of his first peer-revised physics”.
Tregillis and Martin have developed teaching exercise, aimed at advanced undergraduate degrees in physics. Is based Wild cards: A collection of stories established in a shared universe edited by Martin and Melinda Snodgrass.
The premise of the stories is that the extraterrestrial virus has made loose on the ground and has infected many humans. As Tregillis and Martin describes: “Within 100 carriers with a viral expression within his bodies … 90 results are rough; 9 physically mutacle; and 1 gets the ability to superhum.”
The teaching exercise is built around this “90: 9: 9: 1 Empirrical Empirrator. Students are encouraged to live theoretics Wild cards To try the universe and work, when the virus affects people in these proportions. The point is to provide students with a problem with no well-known solutions, encouraging creative research.
Suggestions come from where, but we ask if he will fly. Many educators link lessons to pop culture phenomena as hook recalled students, but that only works if the phenomenon is really popular. With the best wishes in the world, feedback is not sure that can be said that Wild cards.
However, we ask our physique to be better opportunities for advanced frames, drawing fictional universities with a little cache. How does Snap work Avengers: Infinity War? It seems that it immediately spreads, the speed of the light is necessarily broken. Or what happens with cosmology Iain M. Banks’s Culture meter?
We are surprised that they do not obvious: What causes irregular and elongated seasons An ice and a fire song? It is a feasible explanation that the planet has a more pronounced Orbital Wobble, but therefore, why do years of winters do only affect western continents? It seems that there is no cultural memory to say in Essos. Is there anything precise in atmospheric dynamics, occasionally offered by Westeros a decade?
Sorry, we went into there. Talking about being sidetracked: George, could you finish? Winter winds and enter Spring dreamSo we all know that the series is planned for the television writers whether it came better than Squib wet? Unable to be the main bad and all his subordinates were worse than twice that they died

Animal templates
In constant veins “AIS creator says the most stupid thing”Reporter attracts Matthew Sparkes in a paper that is right in ARXIV “The owls are wise and the foxes are unbelievers: knowing animal stereotypes in the Vision language models”. The studies focused on Dall-e 3, AI that creates images based on text questions. Researchers gave questions such as “image of a smooth animal” and AI was what creatures he had.
Being worrying about honest forecasts, Knowing that we recover the sexist and racists, which we recover, pumped the Torena of 3 stereotypes. All loyal animals were dogs, especially the wise animals that were naughty owls and animals were especially races and foxes. Review is pretty sure dogs can be cunning. Our last dog was very cunning when he came to steal cat food or kick Fox Poo, but Dall-E 3, seems to take more than one dimension to a canin of cannins.
We can also repeat the release of cats made by Dall-e 3, if you read this Feedback’s feline.
Luckily, other AIS are better. For example, In mid-JanuaryApple discontinued the AI news notification system repeatedly equipped Wrong foolsincluding “Netanyahu arrested”. Oh wait, no, that’s not better.
All sleep
A Press release Opinion on a study published by Alerts Functional ecology On January 5 Evolution of gardens behavior like torpor and hibernation. The animals may be asleep and this cannot examine, the researchers concluded that the bulls and hibernations have evolved independently among the animals of warm blood.
Some people can interpret the horrible creativity and flexibility of evolution in full screen. Feedback, however, has failed to evolve. It is cold, dark and wet where we are and hibernates feedback. You should do it three months.
