Imitate Your Way to the Top By Brian DePasquale

Graph showing how the cheater network (top) receives the desired output as an input. Combined with strong, random recurrent connections (black), this input allows the network to produce the desired output trivially through a set of learned output connections (red). The imitator network (bottom) does not receive an external input. Instead it must copy the activity of every neuron in the cheater network (one example is shown) by modifying its recurrent connections (red) so that it can produce the desired output

Hubble Telescope Reveals Source of Gas Streaming Into Milky Way By Thomas Sumner

A photo mosaic of an edge-on view of the Milky Way galaxy, looking toward the central bulge. The arc-shaped Magellanic Stream stretches below the galaxy’s plane and the shredded, fragmented Leading Arm crosses the galaxy’s plane and extends above it
