“this suggests that getting hit by an additional 1,000lbs of steel and aluminium—roughly the difference between a Toyota Camry and a Ford Explorer—boosts the likelihood of death by 66%.”
the economist publishes research on how US car bloat kills people
no paywall: https://archive.ph/faiXa
The Economist has published a deeply-researched story about car bloat -- and it's very, very damning.
"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

Homing pigeons improve their route efficiency in consecutive generations, potentially through social interaction. This study uses artificial agents with a highly limited cognitive architecture to show that although their only "social" capacity is to seek proximity, their behavior matches that of pigeons, and they show cumulative improvements in route efficiency.
New paper! Pigeons incrementally improve their idiosyncratic paths between generations. Is this cumulative culture?
This paper shows cumulative improvements simply emerge if individuals know roughly where the goal is, seek social proximity, and memorise landmarks along the route. Naive agents learn routes from experienced ones. Crucially, naive agents err towards the goal, and thus bias each generation towards better efficiency.

Chamois now has all the standard features needed for regular reading experiments. We've tested it and are now using it in production with a TRACKPixx3 tracker. Data looks super clean.
