Pep Guardiola, footballs greatest coach, is in a bind
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=103811&nl=daily]

PEP GUARDIOLA isnt used to losing. Since becoming Manchester Citys
manager in 2016, he has won 18 trophies, including six Premier League
titles and the Champions League, Europes leading club competition.
Previously he dominated German football as coach of Bayern Munich, and
both the Spanish and European game at Barcelona. Yet Mr Guardiola is
suddenly on the ropes. City had just lost five games in a row, the
worst run of his tenure, when on November 26th they squandered a
three-goal lead to draw against Feyenoord, a little-fancied Dutch
side, in the Champions League. Should City lose against Liverpool on
December 1st, they will fall 11 points behind the Premier League
leaders. Even with two-thirds of the season to play, closing such a
gap would be a remarkable sporting feat.

From the sunlit top 200 meters of the sea, plankton carcasses,
excrement and molt particles constantly drift toward the depths. As
this so-called marine snow sinks, the bits can clump together or break
apart, gain speed or sink more slowly, or get eaten up by bacteria.
They descend through darker, colder and denser waters, carrying carbon
with them and settling on the bottom as biomass.

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience
results | Nature Human Behaviour
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=103811&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=103811&nl=daily]
Scientific discoveries often hinge on synthesizing decades of
research, a task that potentially outstrips human information
processing capacities. Large language models (LLMs) offer a solution.
LLMs trained on the vast scientific literature could potentially
integrate noisy yet interrelated findings to forecast novel results
better than human experts. Here, to evaluate this possibility, we
created BrainBench, a forward-looking benchmark for predicting
neuroscience results. We find that LLMs surpass experts in predicting
experimental outcomes. BrainGPT, an LLM we tuned on the neuroscience
literature, performed better yet. Like human experts, when LLMs
indicated high confidence in their predictions, their responses were
more likely to be correct, which presages a future where LLMs assist
humans in making discoveries. Our approach is not neuroscience
specific and is transferable to other knowledge-intensive endeavours.
Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize vast amounts of
information. Luo et al. show that LLMs 8212 especially BrainGPT, an
LLM the authors tuned on the neuroscience literature 8212 outperform
experts in predicting neuroscience results and could assist scientists
