Sicilianews24.it: Ondate di calore umido colpiscono i tropici a causa degli oceani più caldi, secondo uno studio.

Le Onde di Calore Umido e il Cambiamento Climatico
Il cambiamento climatico sta portando a un aumento delle temperature in tutto il mondo, e questo fenomeno ha conseguenze dirette sulla salute umana. Le temperature elevate, unite all’umidità, creano situazioni estremamente pericolose note come onde di calore umido. Recenti studi hanno evidenziato un legame causale significativo tra il riscaldamento delle acque costiere e la proliferazione di queste onde devastanti, particolarmente nelle regioni tropicali.
Un’indagine condotta da ricercatori dell’Istituto di Ricerca sugli Impatti Climatici di Potsdam (PIK), della Princeton University e dell’Università Sun Yat-sen, ha dimostrato che il riscaldamento delle temperature superficiali marine contribuisce a un aumento compreso tra il 50% e il 64% nella frequenza delle onde di calore umido su larga scala. Questi eventi non sono limitati alla costa; possono diffondersi anche oltre 1.000 chilometri nell’entroterra, aumentando così il rischio di mortalità legate al calore, specialmente nelle popolazioni vulnerabili.

Heatwaves with high humidity are hitting the tropics due to warmer oceans, according to a study.

Wet Heat Waves and Climate Change
Climate change is leading to rising temperatures worldwide, and this phenomenon has direct consequences on human health. High temperatures, combined with humidity, create extremely dangerous situations known as wet heat waves. Recent studies have highlighted a significant causal link between the warming of coastal waters and the proliferation of these devastating waves, particularly in tropical regions.
A study conducted by researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Princeton University, and Sun Yat-sen University has shown that the warming of surface ocean temperatures contributes to an increase of between 50% and 64% in the frequency of large-scale wet heat waves. These events are not limited to the coast; they can also spread over 1,000 kilometers inland, thus increasing the risk of heat-related mortality, especially among vulnerable populations.
The article “Wet Heat Waves Strike the Tropics Due to Warmer Oceans” according to a study appears to be the first on Sicilianews24.it.

Elektroden auf der Hirnrinde liefern den Beweis. Eine Studie in Nature Communications zeigt, dass das menschliche Gehirn Sprache hierarchisch wie Transformer verarbeitet. Aktivität im Broca-Areal korreliert mit tiefen KI-Schichten. Das validiert LLMs als Modell für medizinische Forschung bei Aphasie. #NatureCommunications #LLM #PrincetonUniversity

An ironic observation:

The paper gives one list ('SciFi-Constitution-128-AutoMerge') of 106 directives to be used to yield ethical outputs from LLMs.

Giving a robot a triple-digit-length list of ethical imperatives was a plot point in RoboCop 2.

The LLM was only, the authors claim, given the first #RoboCop movie as input.

The idea that there's a secret 107th directive about #Google and #PrincetonUniversity is thus spawned.

According to the paper:

The people did not read the books. They fed the books (and others) to a computer system in order to construct an LLM that spat out potted summaries (in the forms of questions and answers) of specific plot points (involving AI) in the stories.

The paper states that the LLM sometimes went wrong, giving its condensed form of a Terminator plot point as one example.

@diazona @cstross

I agree. It is the so-called 'Sci-Fi Benchmark' LLM dataset that, as the paper explicitly says (on pages 96 and 97), is based upon two of Charlie Stross's works. And that's being published on GitHub. Thus, Microsoft.

Not legal advice M. Stross, but one avenue to point your solicitor towards exploring.
