Genshin has faced accusations of cultural appropriation and whitewashing, with some of its voice actors calling for publisher HoYoverse to make changes.The ever-expanding world of Genshin is filled with stories and places inspired by the real world. Similarities range from the geography of the in-game setting to the architecture, mythology, music, food, and overall history. These connections now extend to a new region: Nha Trang. It was revealed in the trailer released last week.. The fan outcry stems from what many feel is a failure to accurately represent the cultures each character is inspired by, including the fact that Mabukia,…

Perhaps the most astonishing scientific discovery of the past decade is that the universe is full of black holes. A surprising variety of sizes has been discovered. SunSome are billions of times larger. And they’re detected in a variety of ways: by radio emissions from material falling into the holes, by their effects on stars orbiting them, by gravitational waves emitted when they merge, and by the very strange distortions of light they cause (think of the “Einstein rings” seen in the photo). Sagittarius A*(The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, which until recently was making…

summary: A new study identifies beta frequency neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as important for shaping reward perception and behavior, and suggests that this neural signature is altered in patients with depression, and may serve as a biomarker of anhedonia and a potential therapeutic target.This research sheds light on how brain activity encodes reward cues and influences future choices. These findings may lead to innovative treatments for psychiatric disorders involving deficits in reward processing.Key Facts:ACC Beta Activities: A key neural signature for recognizing reward and shaping behavior.Depression changes: Beta activity is reduced and delayed in patients with…

Curious kids It’s a series for kids of all ages. Have a question you’d like an expert to answer? If you are interested,. Will it be possible to make Mars like Earth one day? – Tyra, 16, Mississippi When I was in junior high school, my biology teacher taught the class the science fiction movie “Star Trek III: The Search for Mr. Spock.” This plot made me think,Genesis Project” – a new technology that transformed a dead alien world into one teeming with life.

He said he had been trying to ask a flight…

summary: Researchers have developed a neural network that mimics human decision-making by incorporating uncertainty and accumulating evidence. Trained on handwritten digits, the model produces more human-like decisions than traditional neural networks.They exhibit human-like accuracy, response times, and confidence patterns. This advancement could lead to more trustworthy AI systems and reduce the cognitive load of everyday decision-making.Key Facts:Human-like decision making: Neural networks mimic human uncertainty and evidence accumulation in decision making.Performance comparison: The model exhibits similar patterns of accuracy and reliability to humans when tested on noisy datasets.Future possibilities: This approach could make AI more trustworthy and reduce the cognitive burden…

A satellite image like this one shows southern Greenland in the afternoon of September 4, 2022. Exposed, dirty ice at the edge of the ice sheet appears gray. Snow-covered ice is bright white. The pale blue ribbons and circles are meltwater lakes, rivers, and ponds. Image credit: NASA Imagery, WorldView As the Earth continues to warm due to human-induced climate change, accurate computer climate models will play a key role in revealing exactly how the climate will continue to change in the coming years. In a study published in Journal of Geophysical Research: AtmosphereA team led by researchers from the…
