"AI-enabled mass surveillance could constitute a crime against humanity. The core concern underlying his dispute with the DOD was that the government might use LLM-based systems such as Claude to analyze reams of data obtained from brokers and build detailed profiles of individual Americans at scale."

"All of this is made worse by the fact that LLMs make mistakes. The advantage of using LLMs for mass surveillance is that they can do far more work than human analysts far more quickly, but that also makes thoroughly checking their work impossible. And because mass surveillance is, by its very nature, secretive, some who fall victim to such errors may not have any recourse."

Seeds accelerate germination at beneficial planting depths by sensing the sound of rain - Scientific Reports

The ability of natural environmental sound to stimulate seeds and seedlings sufficiently to foster growth has not been previously demonstrated or quantified. To study this, rain sound is a logical starting point. Rain produces extremely high amplitude sound pressure with commensurate particle displacements in the upper soil, puddles and wetlands where many plant seeds germinate. Experiments were conducted with controlled rain drops impacting soil and shallow water puddles containing submerged seeds of rice (oryza sativa). Germination rates were measured as the peak sound pressure of drop impact was varied. The displacements of micro-meter-scale statoliths relative to the structure of specialized seed cells that sense gravitational direction were estimated as a function of the controlled rain sound forcing. The results here indicate rice and related seed types can sense the sound of rain impacting the soil or water surface above them and respond by accelerating germination at depths where impulsive rain sound is sufficiently intense to intermittently shake statoliths from contact with cell membrane receptors and trigger gravitropic growth mechanisms. The ability to perceive rain sound and respond with accelerated germination is found to be roughly limited to the relatively shallow depths that are also beneficial to seedling survival.

🌊🪐 Researchers at #MIT identified universal rules for how #waves form on other #planets by analyzing the relationship between wind #energy and planetary conditions.

Their model illustrates that on #moons like #Titan low gravity and dense atmospheres allow waves to start at very low wind speeds and grow taller than they do on #Earth. Conversely lava worlds with high gravity and viscous molten rock would require hurricane-force winds to create even a small ripple.

The Mechanics of Alien Waves

One of the most dramatic and memorable scenes from Interstellar comes from Miller’s planet - and if you don’t want a spoiler for an 11 year old movie, feel free to skip to the next paragraph. When the crew arrives on this potential new home for humanity, they are faced with a literal 1.2 km high wall of water bearing down on them quickly. It’s a great representation of how waves on other planets can act differently than on Earth. Admittedly, according to Kip Thorne, the scientific advisor for that movie, those waves are actually caused by the planet’s proximity to a local black hole rather than the wind that forms our waves here.
