Monarch Butterflies Are Losing Their Navigational Abilities. You Can Guess Why

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-26 16:00:43

Each fall, millions of eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles south to the mountains of central Mexico, then return to their northern range in the spring. These winged insects rely on a complex navigation system to go to and from their overwintering sites, and new research suggests climate change may be messing with it. Monarch butterflies have two distinct biological “compasses.” The primary one infers direction based on their circadian rhythm and the position of

Polestar sets production car record for longest drive on a single charge

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-26 16:51:17

Ars recently reviewed the Polestar 3, the large electric SUV from the performance-oriented Volvo spinoff. There is a lot to like about the big Polestar, particularly the way it drives: sharp enough to give Porsche cause for concern. Among the handful of things I wasn't so keen on was its reluctance to drive slowly. Like a racehorse champing at the bit, the twin-motor Polestar 3 wanted to deliver lots of power with not much pedal travel, and it took a while, and some conscious effort, to adapt.

GPT-5 Doesn't Dislike You—It Might Just Need a Benchmark for Emotional Intelligence

wired.com Will Knight 2025-11-26 16:00:00

Since the all-new ChatGPT launched on Thursday, some users have mourned the disappearance of a peppy and encouraging personality in favor of a colder, more businesslike one (a move seemingly designed to reduce unhealthy user behavior.) The backlash shows the challenge of building artificial intelligence systems that exhibit anything like real emotional intelligence. Researchers at MIT have proposed a new kind of AI benchmark to measure how AI systems can manipulate and influence their users—in

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate

Tesla is coming in hot in New York City and regulators, legislators and consumers are already pushing back. The electric car company’s latest foray into regulator wrestling comes via a hiring push for autopilot drivers in NYC, despite holding no permits for that service in the city.

We all need quality sleep to function properly during the day, but it gets even more important when you're pregnant. The irony? That's also when sleep gets harder.

The case for commuting by motorcycle

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic.
