In Recentive Analytics vs Fox, the Federal Circuit determined that absent more, machine learning methods are now considered “generic.” This means that some types of machine learning patents can be rejected as "abstract." patentassociate.com/2025/04/24/m...

As talking heads bloviate about how vaccine mandates violate the freedoms our founding fathers fought for, it is worth remembering that our founding fathers thought vaccines should be mandatory.

Open this image up.
Find the small crater almost at the exact centre of the image.
Spot the small nubbin inside said crater.
Congratulations! You've found Intuitive Machines' IM-2 Athena lander, lying (dead) on its side on the Moon, photographed by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

This photo was released today by Intuitive Machines, seemingly taken by their Athena IM-2 mission lander.
The lander clearly tipped over, but otherwise looks OK. But it can't recharge, so is functionally dead.
As far as I know, this is the first photo ever taken from the lunar south polar region.

Here’s some positive H5N1 news for a change: conditional approval for poultry vaccines made by Zoetis for chickens.

So after all the hoo-hah in the 70s, a strong genetics argument can be made that the snail darter is not a separate species but rather a population of the more common stargazer darter. Tom Near's lab at Yale lead the work, with lead author Ava Ghezelayagh joined by a dozen others. 🧪🌍🌿 #Naturalist
Fish at center of key conservation fight not a distinct species after all
A new study shows that the snail darter, a tiny fish that was the focus of a legal battle that gave teeth to the Endangered Species Act, is not a distinct species.
