Humans trained to use global impressions of faces nearly double their accuracy at spotting AI-generated deepfakes. This approach beats training on local visual artifacts, which has shown little benefit. Gains persist in follow-up tests and scale in an online replication.

Camera-trap data from northern Ukraine show higher mammal diversity and occupancy in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and nearby protected areas than in less protected landscapes. The results suggest that reduced human activity can substantially improve habitat suitability for large mammals.

Analysis of oxygen isotopes in shells collected by Neanderthals 115,000 years ago indicates that shellfish harvesting occurred year-round but was concentrated in late autumn, winter, and early spring, suggesting seasonal resource planning and risk-management strategies.

People with no training were able to reliably detect animal vocalisations in natural soundscapes, with detections increasing in equatorial habitats, around sunrise and sunset, and during wetter periods—patterns that mirror global biodiversity and animal activity cycles.

Can the USB-C Saramonic LAVMICROU3-OA be used with something else than the Osmo Action camera?

I bought the Saramonic LAVMICROU3-OA lavalier microphone because it has a USB-C connection and that’s the connection i want to use on my laptop. This microphone is marketed as a microphone for the Osmo Action camera, but I thought it would be weird for a mike to be restricted to one camera only, so i bought it anyway. Just received it and it’s not working, it’s not recognized at all by Windows 11.

So was I wrong? Is this microphone only for use with the Osmo Action?

Looking for a subreddit for high-quality educational YouTube creators to discuss scripting, research and production.

Hi, I'm looking for a subreddit for people who make educational YouTube videos. Not really interested in YouTube growth, the algorithm, or self-promo. I'm more interested in the creative side of things: researching topics, writing scripts, explaining complicated ideas, fact-checking...
