New phytoplasma effector: 50 shades of green (2024) Phytoplasmas are bacteria that thrive in both plants and insects, manipulating their hosts to enhance their own survival and spread, while causing severe harm to plants. Despite their small genomes (0.53–1.35 Mb), they induce dramatic plant developmental changes, such as excessive branching ("witches’ brooms") and floral organ transformations (phyllody), by secreting effector proteins: SAP05, SAP11 and SAP54. plants vs phytoplasma finally reali...

Первые эскизы прибора относятся к уже пыльным 80м вот тут уже статья про ингаляционные анестетики в целом, тестируемые инебриометром к...

Neuropeptides specify and reprogram division of labor in the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes (2025) Social insects offer powerful models to investigate mechanisms of elaborate individual behaviors comprising a cooperative community. Workers of the leafcutter ant genus Atta are extreme examples of behavioral segregation among phenotypically distinct worker types. We utilize this worker system to test the molecular underpinnings of behavioral programming and the extent of plasticity to reprogrammin...

Novel color via stimulation of individual photoreceptors at population scale (2025) файналли, новые цвета и рукотворный тюнинг сетчатки "We introduce a principle, Oz, for displaying color imagery: directly controlling the human eye’s photoreceptor activity via cell-by-cell light delivery. Theoretically, novel colors are possible through bypassing the constraints set by the cone spectral sensitivities and activating M cone cells exclusively. In practice, we confirm a partial expansion of colorspa...

Snake venom protection by a cocktail of varespladib and broadly neutralizing human antibodies (2025) мужика 20 лет кусали самые ядовитые змеи со всего земного шара, а теперь из него делают универсальный антидот и написали статью в Q1 Highlights • We report a systematic method for the construction of a broad-spectrum snake antivenom • Broadly neutralizing antitoxin antibodies were identified from a venom-immune subject • Broad toxin neutralization involved recognition of conserved toxin-receptor ...

"However, we did notice, and documented in our paper, instances when the DGM hacked its reward function. For example, we had cases where it hallucinated that it was using external tools, such as a command line tool that runs unit tests that determine if the code is functioning properly. It faked a log making it look like it had run the tests and that they had passed, when in fact they were never run! Because these logs become its context, it later mistakenly thought its proposed code changes had...

Подробная история мегаломанического проекта Cyc (from "encyclopedia"), создававшего полвека логический ИИ вручную "Obituary for the greatest monument to logical AGI. After 40 years, 30 million rules, 200 million dollars, 2000 person-years, and many promises, Cyc has failed to reach intellectual maturity, and may never will. Exacerbated by the secrecy and insularity of Cycorp, there remains no evidence of its general intelligence." https://yuxi-liu-wired.github.io/essays/posts/cyc/

🚀 Уважаемые коллеги, кому интересна математика и машинное обучение, приглашаем Вас принять участие в неформальном научном проекте. Мы разрабатываем новые методы и опен-соурс библиотеку CayleyPy, которая на основе МЛ/РЛ методов позволяет решить математические задачи, которые были не доступны ранее. Как пример наша система уже по всем параметрам на порядки превсходит аналогичные методы в системе компьютерной алгебры GAP (де-факто стандарт) - использующую алгоритмы доработанные самим Д. Кнутом. Ес...
