If you plan to bid farewell to summer with a little fishing this weekend, take some pointers from this tiny angler.

Josie, 4, was fishing with her parents near Delavan, Illinois on Wednesday when she got a bite from a 33-pound flathead. (Josie weighs 30 pounds.) But with some help with her dad and her trusty Frozen pole, which was rigged with a 50-pound line, Josie was able to reel the fish in.

At first, Josie thinks her new catch is pretty gross (understandable) but she eventually finds the courage to touch it. She even lies down next to it for scale. 

We look forward to Josie catching a world record fish before the age of five. Read more...

Ed Sheeran 's done it. So has Shawn Mendes , Metallica , and the Backstreet Boys . Now, Jimmy Fallon's handed the banana shakers to Weezer. For one of The Tonight Show 's most beloved recurring segments, Weezer joined Fallon and The Roots to perform a cover of A-ha's classic "Take on Me" using classroom instruments.  We're talking mini tambourines, wood blocks, kazoos — the works, all with that iconic animated overlay from A-ha's music video. And huge respect for frontman Rivers Cuomo in particular, who hits those impossible high notes. It's not the only fun performance we've seen from Weezer this week, with the group joining Fallon's barbershop quartet, The Ragtime Gals, for a rendition of their own classic track, "Buddy Holly."

Danilo Diazgranados Manglano observe: Scientists work to accurately model human pain in robot brains

-

It’s almost certain, based on current research trends, that an artificial brain will replicate the organic pain experience in its entirety one day. So here’s a thought experiment: if a tree falls in the forest, and it lands on a robot with an artificial nervous system connected to an artificial brain running an optimized pain recognition algorithm, is the tree guilty of assault or vandalism? A team of scientists from Cornell University recently published research indicating they’d successfully replicated proprioception in a soft robot. Today, this means they’ve taught a piece of wriggly foam how to understand the position of… This story continues at The Next Web View Source

Danilo Diazgranados Manglano recommends: Trippy video breaks down how YouTube demonetizes LGBTQ creators for using words like 'gay'

It's long been rumored that YouTube's machine learning algorithm specifically demonetizes LGBTQ content — despite YouTube's denials. But the allegations got a boost over the weekend when two creators published videos pointing out how they think YouTube goes about blocking LGBTQ content from making money. YouTube Analyzed fed more than 15,000 words used in titles to YouTube's bots to figure out what the platform deems too scandalous for advertisers. Words that triggered demonetization in his tests include "gay" and "homosexual." Another channel, Nerd City, then broke down YouTube Analyzed's data in the acid trip of a video seen above. Before tackling YouTube's shadowy demonetization policy, Nerd City was known for diving into Jake Paul's insidious marketing schemes, exposing family vlogging channels as exploitative, and highlighting obviously edited Instagram photos as bad for young followers' self esteem.
