A Downy Woodpecker hoping for a suet nugget (which was soon offered.)
This Northern Flicker was following a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers around. When one of the Pileated Woodpeckers would leave the hole of an excavation site, the Flicker would check out the tree cavity and see if there were any ants left to lap up.
A Golden-crowned Kinglet about to bop to another branch while looking for small insects. Even in the winter, these little birds eat three times their body weight each day.
A Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored subspecies) on a snowy day. The amount of brown points to this bird being a female hatch-year bird. I wonder what she thinks of her first winter?
FOXO1 mention so of course I'm immediately thinking about sepsis lmao

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 9mo ago“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors. It’s vibe coding, but for science.”
I need to know where Arin Hanson buys his clothes
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
