As ararinhas passaram por treinamentos para aprender a se alimentar sozinhas e a reconhecer predadores, sempre sob monitoramento rigoroso. A reintrodução representa não apenas a retomada de uma espécie ameaçada, mas também um avanço importante para a preservação da biodiversidade brasileira.

Tem que admirar a versatilidade dessas empresas da Faria Lima: um dia tão lavando dinheiro do crime organizado, no outro tão analisando política econômica na tv.

I'm often asked if I'll redo the 2019 quantum factoring estimate. Denser storage by yokes, smaller magic factories by cultivation, slimmer approx arithmetic by Chevignard et al… surely the cost is lower now?

Yes, it's lower now.

Great interview in which Ewin Tang describes how she shook the quantum world at age 18.
So far, classical computers perform most tasks better than quantum computers can. In a new episode of “The Joy of Why,” computer scientist Ewan Tang speaks with co-host Janna Levin about the effort to understand the limitations of quantum machines. www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-the-...

"I.A. GENERATIVA COMO DEMOCRATIZAÇÃO DA ARTE"

Acredito q quando defendem o uso da tecnologia com esse argumento não falam de ARTE enquanto conceito, mas como uma mera IMAGEM.

A galera tá usando como se estivesse buscando uma IMAGEM no Google para exemplificar ou enfeitar uma ideia num slide.

There is currently no oral birth control option available to men to prevent pregnancy in their sexual partners. A study in Communications Medicine lays the groundwork for human trials of YCT-529, a non-hormonal male contraceptive. 🧪
Targeting the retinoid signaling pathway with YCT-529 for effective and reversible oral contraception in mice and primates - Communications Medicine
Mannowetz and Chung et al. investigated the properties and efficacy of the RARα selective antagonist YCT-529 as a male contraceptive. Mouse and non-human primates experienced fertility inhibition through disruption of spermatogenesis which was reversed upon cessation of oral administration.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
