In case anyone tells you wolves don't bark, here is proof that they can. They don't usually, it's mostly as an alarm. Which I guess is why dogs bark too.
The one barking is in the center of the video, and he was a little agitated at a new staff member doing some weed whacking. We also have him and his sister separated from the two puppies (recovering from a vet visit), so he was probably trying to warn them too.

#Transport for #London (TfL) is inviting #Barking and #Dagenham residents to take part in ‘The Big Shift’ during Innovation Week, exploring why some people choose to drive rather than use public transport, cycling or walking. Insights will help reduce congestion and support the Mayor’s target for 80% of trips by active travel or public transport by 2041.
The workshop involves parents or carers of children aged 4–11, new drivers aged 17–19, and residents aged 65 and over. Participants attend two one-hour in-person sessions on 12 June in Barking and Dagenham and 22 June at TfL offices. The first explores travel motivations; the second reviews and judges ideas developed by #TfL staff.
Participants receive a £50 voucher. Places are limited and not guaranteed. Applications close 31 May 2026, with successful applicants notified by 5 June. Eligibility and demographic questions must be completed to apply.

Each year, TfL runs Innovation Week, a week in which our staff learn about innovation that is happening in other parts of the business and come up with ideas for addressing challenges across London’s transport network. This year we are running ‘The Big Shift’, a
IBM just released Granite 4.1, a family of open source language models built specifically for enterprise use. Three sizes, Apache 2.0 licensed and trained on 15 trillion tokens with a level of pipeline obsession that's worth understanding. But there's one result in the benchmarks I keep coming back to. The 8B model. Dense architecture, no MoE tricks, no extended reasoning chains. It matches or beats Granite 4.0-H-Small across basically every benchmark they ran. That older model has 32B parameters with 9B active. This one has 8 billion. Full stop. That result is either very impressive or it means the old model was underbuilt. Probably both. Here's how they built it, what the numbers actually say, and whether any of it matters for your use case.
