Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Running #Deepseek with its Multimodal model Janus-Pro-7b locally is really crazy. I show this camera trap picture and ask: "Explain this picture. What animal species do you see?" See the answer in the follow up post. #tech4wildlife

Anyone want to speculate on this strange deer? Could there be a connection between the war/tumor and the spikey antlers?

"If you kill a thing, see its body on the ground in front of you, you know that it is gone. It stands to reason that it cannot trouble you anymore." Unless it can. Turns out if you hunt coyotes because you feel you have too many...you get MORE COYOTES. teamtrash.substack.com/p/hunt-more-...

What if I told you that if you have coyote "problems" (as in, you feel there are too many), killing them...can make it WORSE? Me on @rolandkays.com 's latest paper, so glad his lab is studying this! teamtrash.substack.com/p/hunt-more-...
