Every soldier must check the color bars to determine his or her level of alertness. It's normal. There are code word alerts for color blind soldiers. Totally normal.

Highly normal situations reported everywhere. At the beach, on the links, up in the sky. All is normal.

We all think we're big shots biting seals in half and swamping tourist kayaks, but when it comes to ramming flattening and sinking a Chinese/Canadian NWO coast guard vessel, it's "oh noes we promised to rip up a purse seine off Port Hardy see yez f4g3s"

The way whales communicate is closer to human language than we realized

A wave of new projects are taking us closer to understanding what whales are communicating to each other

Sperm whales are fascinating creatures. They possess the biggest brain of any species, six times larger than a human’s, which scientists believe may have evolved to support intelligent, rational behavior. They’re highly social, capable of making decisions as a group, and they exhibit complex foraging behavior.

But there’s also a lot we don’t know about them, including what they may be trying to say to one another when they communicate using a system of short bursts of clicks, known as codas. Now, new research published in Nature Communications today suggests that sperm whales’ communication is actually much more expressive and complicated than was previously thought.

A team of researchers led by Pratyusha Sharma at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) working with Project CETI, a nonprofit focused on using AI to understand whales, used statistical models to analyze whale codas and managed to identify a structure to their language that’s similar to features of the complex vocalizations humans use. Their findings represent a tool future research could use to decipher not just the structure but the actual meaning of whale sounds.

The team analyzed recordings of 8,719 codas from around 60 whales collected by the Dominica Sperm Whale Project between 2005 and 2018, using a mix of algorithms for pattern recognition and classification. They found that the way the whales communicate was not random or simplistic, but structured depending on the context of their conversations. This allowed them to identify distinct vocalizations that hadn’t been previously picked up on.
