  • Scientists translate PIG GRUNTS into actual emotions for the first time in breakthrough that could one day let us communicate with swine

    Researchers trained an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with 7,414 recordings of pig noises, gathered throughout the life stages of 411 pigs – including slaughter. The algorithm could potentially be used to build an app for pig farmers that detects whether the animals are happy just from the noise they're making. As already revealed in previous research, there are more high-frequency calls from pigs (such as screams and squeals) in negative situations. At the same time, low-frequency calls (such as barks and grunts) occurred both in situations where the pigs experienced positive or negative emotions. With an even more thorough analysis...

    To his enemies online and elsewhere, gun-safety advocate and recent high-school graduate David Hogg can be seen as a pesky mosquito that happens to be buzzing into a microphone for the world to hear. In the four months since a mass shooting at Hogg’s high school rekindled the gun debate in the United States, the sharp-tongued Hogg has become a leading voice of the student-led Never Again movement — and a lightning rod for contempt from opponents on the right. That wasn’t an accident, he says. In a new mini-memoir written by Hogg and his 15-year-old sister, Lauren, a rising...
