Lund University has finally cracked the code: #birds are, shockingly, not using GPS but... the #MOON 🌝🐦. Who knew that birds could outdo our tech by simply looking up? Meanwhile, students and alumni are left wading through the labyrinth of irrelevant links... but hey, at least the birds know where they're going! 🙄📚

Nocturnal migratory birds follow rhythm of the moon

Lund University. “… the lovely, melancholy moonlight, which makes the birds dream in the trees…”The French poet Paul Verlaine was seemingly wrong in his famous poem Clair de Lune. Moonlight does not make the birds dream up in the treetops - quite the opposite.

Heute endlich mal ein paar Stunden Pause von der Thesis gemacht. Draußen. Bei Traumhaftem Wetter. Ein Segen für meine Laune 💜
Und dabei rausgefunden, dass das Kaff in Mülheim an der Ruhr wirklich guten veganen Kuchen hat - und sogar noch bessere vegane Bagel. Allein der Camembert war die Reise wert 😍

How to Manufacture Regret at Night

It's been a long time since we didn't feel any regret. How to experience it: make sure we have a little thirsty feeling at night. Then, order some cold beverages, such as coffee, drink it, quench our thirst, and regret that we can't sleep properly during the night. Advice: don't try this. Try it only if you will and your circumstances allow it, such as tomorrow when you don't have class and it is a holiday.

After today's #KDAI2026 lecture on "Basic Machine Learning 01", you will understand why most of what people say about AI in public debate is either wrong, confused, or missing the point — and you will have the tools to do better. If you've ever wondered how Netflix predicts your next binge-watch or how self-driving cars navigate, this is where it all starts.
