UC #Berkeley #scientists hail breakthrough in decoding #whale #communication
According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project #CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), the whales make sounds that resemble vowels, a key part of human language.
Although scientists already knew that #spermwhales communicate with codas — sequences of clicks analogous to #MorseCode — the study indicates a more complex communication system.

I imagine the research application / flying licence contained a statement along the lines of "by collecting nasal mucus in this way, we will learn a great deal about the animal's gender, DNA, medical condition and biome. And we'll be able to use the word "snot" in National Geographic thus promoting our work and bringing new funding opportunities."

It's pretty funny anyway when it rocks in the updraught.

Ciao Mondo.
Le ho messe quasi tutte insieme in un collage.
Natale si avvicina, se vuoi fare un regalo a tuo cugino, all'amico tuo o ravvivare quell'angolo smorto della casa ecco, che ne pensi di una stampa in linoleografia?
Se vuoi vuoi te le incornicio persino così hai un pensiero in meno.

Ciao Mondo
Lo so, lo so, nonnè roba da black friday, ma vuoi mettere?
Qui parliamo di lavoro artigianale: disegnato, inciso, inchiostrato e stampato.
Persino la carta: 100% cotone mica cavoli, è fatta a mano.
Ci stai ancora pensando?
(Se vuoi te la mando persino incorniciata)

What if I told you that we had connected with an #alien #intelligence, and are hard at work using #AI to decode their language?

You'd be pretty excited, right? Finally proof that we are not alone in the universe!

Well, we *have*. It's just that these alien intelligences are floating through the inky black of the ocean depths, instead of the void of interstellar space.

Whales are clearly intelligent. They have more than a song -- they have a language. The more we study it, the more we see shares many features with human languages. Project #CETI is working on understanding it. In our lifetime, they may crack the code.

Totally mind-blowing.

Ciao Mondo.
Che aspetti? A Natale manca poco e a me serve tempo per preparare tutto come si deve e spedire.
Questa Balena 🐳 in #linoleografia mi sembra il regalo perfetto per quell'amico tuo, o per tuœ cugniœ, ma anche per quell'angolo di casa che deve essere ravvivato.

Eddai, scrivimi!

The world's only taxidermied blue whale, dating back to 1865 CE, is housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. However, due to an incident involving a couple having sex inside it, the whale's jaws are now only opened on special occasions.

“An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics”*…

The rich in the U.S. just keep getting richer. Over the five decades, incomes have risen materially faster at the very top than anywhere below, and similarly, wealth has accumulated much more quickly at the top than anywhere below. A report from the Stone Center On Socio-Economic Inequality (at CUNY) looks at the mutually-reinforcing relationship between these two dynamics…

Homoploutia describes the situation in which the same people (homo) are wealthy (ploutia) in the space of capital and labor income in some countries. It can be quantified by the share of capital income rich who are also labor income rich. In this paper, we combine several datasets covering different time periods to document the evolution of homoploutia in the United States from 1950 to 2020. We find that homoploutia was low after World War II, has increased by the early 1960s, and then decreased until the mid-1980s. Since 1985 it has been sharply increasing: In 1985, about 17% of adults in the top decile of capital income earners were also in the top decile of labor-income earners. In 2018 this indicator was about 30%. This makes the traditional division between capitalists and laborers less relevant today. It makes periods characterized by high interpersonal inequality, high capital-income ratio, and high capital share of income in the past fundamentally different from the current situation. High homoploutia has far-reaching implications for social mobility and equality of opportunity. We also study how homoploutia is related to total income inequality. We find that rising homoploutia accounts for about 20% of the increase in total income inequality in the United States since 1986…

Note that the report was written in the 2020 (and published in The Review of Income and Wealth in 2023). The dynamic has continued since; the polarizing impact has grown.

As we evaluate equity, we might recall that it was on this date in 1970 that The Oregon Highway Division attempted to destroy a rotting beached Sperm whale with explosives, leading to the now infamous “exploding whale” incident.

The Curious Case of 'Old Thom,' an #Orca Traveling Alone in the North #Atlantic
The solitude of #OldThom is more inexplicable because most researchers believe he is, in fact, a fish-eating orca, given his peaceful coexistence with #dolphins and other #marinemammals. And fish-eating #killerwhales typically never ditch their pods. “So, where’s his family?” Giles asks.
To date, there’s no sign of an orca population residing along the Northeast #UnitedStates. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-curious-case-of-old-thom-a-killer-whale-traveling-alone-in-the-north-atlantic-180987346/ #whale #whales
