"A survey of 169 trees found 11 latrines—all of them in the major forks of the strangler fig tree (Ficus tuerckheimii). A camera trap at one arboreal potty captured 17 different species visiting the spot. The findings, published March 16 in Ecology and Evolution, suggest that treetop toilets might provide communication hubs across mammal species."

"Creating a conlang involves much more than stringing together some make-believe words. Languages are complex machines with many interlocking parts, and linguists must wield their expertise in these systems to create functional languages that suit their fictional speakers. That careful engineering not only adds depth and realism to many fantastical realms. It may also offer insight into the nature of language itself."

RIP. I've seen his remarkable footage in various BBC Wildlife documentaries.
"The acclaimed wildlife cameraman and photographer Doug Allan has died while trekking in Nepal.
Allan, 74, was principal cameraman on a number of BBC programmes including The Blue Planet, Blue Planet II, Planet Earth and Frozen Planet, and spent much of his career working alongside Sir David Attenborough."

"Angus McKie's an elusive artist. He had a flurry of stellar science fiction paperback covers across the mid-to-late '70s, before slowing down across the '80s and '90s while working across a variety of other mediums, including his own graphic novels, the 1981 Heavy Metal film, some pioneering '90s work with CG for comics and graphic novels, and more recently, working on video games."

"In May 2025, Lloyd’s syndicates began underwriting Armilla Insurance’s new AI liability coverage, one of the first policies explicitly designed to cover the costs of chatbot errors. At the exact same time, other major insurers began moving in the opposite direction, rewriting policies to add “absolute AI exclusions” to avoid exposure entirely."

"Spaceships: The first frontier. Across the '70s and '80s, complex and colorful spaceships were the primary element that publishers everywhere thought to shoehorn onto any science fiction book cover.
The diverse visual style of all that spacecraft is impossibly to fully sum up, but in this post, we're going to try regardless."

"Robert Tinney passed away on February 1st, 2026.
[...]
He was the artist behind the beautiful hand-painted covers of the influential computer hobbiest magazine Byte from the December 1975 issue until the early '90s.
[...]
Tinney's career didn't begin or end with Byte. He worked for a range of electronics companies and magazines [...] doing plenty of covers and advertisements that have rarely been collected or highlighted."

@paulrickards Yes, you would need a circuit to connect it to a GPIO pin. This might range from using resistors and diodes, to using a comparator, depending on how safe you want the circuit to be.

Would hooking a headphone pin to a GPIO to detect a headphone insertion/removal, to auto adjust the volume level, work also?
