This is about a robot that moves around in a curved space by merely changing its shape. Very cool.

What a cliffhanger -- what did you end up doing? Not sweeping the streets presumably?

A nice example of overfitting!

However, it is hard to imagine an actual application of the process. If I understand it correctly, the author suggests using a set of micro-models for annotating a dataset which is then used to train another model. The latter model can actually detect Batman in a general environment, ie, can generalize. However, enriching a training dataset by adding adjacent frames depicting Batman from the same movie will likely have limited usefulness when training an actual Batman detection (non-micro!) model. Or do I get the final application wrong?

TL;DR mutations happen.

The key paragraph is the following: "We are seeing some mutation coming up in some samples that could possibly evade immune responses," said Shahid Jameel, chair of the scientific advisory group of INSACOG and a top Indian virologist. He did not say if the mutations have been seen in the Indian variant or any other strain.

Thanks for sharing! Is there a reason why borg is excluded from the comparison?

This discovery is definitively cool, but not close to the phosphine-on-Venus cool. The present paper is similar to the former finding in the sense that what looked like a natural explanation (a p-wave order parameter) seems to have been ruled out (just like chemical origin of phosphine seems to have been ruled out). Hence, more exotic findings might lurk in this material.
