I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?

There’s a line in the Times piece about Dominic Cummings claiming that the Cabinet Office secure systems had been breached by China circa 2020:
“He said he was warned at the time that disclosing some specific details of the breach would be a criminal offence.“
And I presume this is Official Secrets Act, but no article mentions this?

On generalized disc-polygons in plane convex bodies with a higher degree of smoothness
We prove power series expansions for the expectations of the number of vertices and missed area of random $L$-convex polygons in planar convex bodies with sufficiently smooth boundaries. Random $L$-convex polygons arise as the intersection of all translates of a fixed convex set $L$ that contain i.i.d. uniform random points from a suitable plane convex body $K$. Our results extend the asymptotic formulas proved in Fodor, Papvári and Vígh (2020) and Fodor and Montenegro (2024), and have conseq…

Atmospheric rivers and winter sea ice drive recent reversal in Antarctic ice mass loss
Since about 2000, the total mass of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has declined at a near-linear rate, increasing global sea levels. Since 2016, however, satellite gravimetry data reveal a slowdown in net AIS mass loss and a net mass gain since 2020, despite increases in dynamically-driven ice loss by discharge from outlet glaciers. Here we use a suite of reanalyses and regional climate models to show that this reversal is caused by increased precipitation and positive surface mass balance anoma…

Quantum optical model of an artificial neuron
Magnini \emph{et al.} [\emph{Mach. Learn.: Sci. Technol. 1 (2020) 045008}] recently introduced a qubit-based model of an artificial neuron, along with its applications. The design of its quantum circuit is pivotal for effective implementation. In this context, we present two quantum circuit synthesis algorithms tailored for the realisation of the quantum neuron. Comprehensive circuit simulations are conducted, and the resulting performance is assessed using the circuit cost metric. Additionally…

Deep Learning Reconstruction of Tropical Cyclogenesis in the Western North Pacific from Climate Reanalysis Dataset
This study presents a deep learning (DL) architecture based on residual convolutional neural networks (ResNet) to reconstruct the climatology of tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) in the Western North Pacific (WNP) basin from climate reanalysis datasets. Using different TCG data labeling strategies and data enrichment windows for the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA2) dataset during the 1980-2020 period, we demonstrate that ResNet can reasonably rep…

Spectral gap for the signed interchange process with arbitrary sets

Spectral gap for the signed interchange process with arbitrary sets
In 2020, F.Cesi introduced a random walk on the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$ and analysed its spectral gap when the allowed generators are transpositions and diagonal elements corresponding to singletons. In this paper we extend the allowed generators to transpositions and any diagonal elements, and characterise completely the set of representations from which the spectral gap arises. This settles a conjecture posed in Cesi's paper.

Machine learning-based multimodal prognostic models integrating pathology images and high-throughput omic data for overall survival prediction in cancer: a systematic review
Multimodal machine learning integrating histopathology and molecular data shows promise for cancer prognostication. We systematically reviewed studies combining whole slide images (WSIs) and high-throughput omics to predict overall survival. Searches of EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane CENTRAL (12/08/2024), plus citation screening, identified eligible studies. Data extraction used CHARMS; bias was assessed with PROBAST+AI; synthesis followed SWiM and PRISMA 2020. Protocol: PROSPERO (CRD42024594745)…

Exceptional Hermite Polynomials and Calogero-Moser Pairs
There are two equivalent descriptions of George Wilson's adelic Grassmannian $Gr^{ad}$, one in terms of differential ``conditions'' and another in terms of Calogero-Moser Pairs. The former approach was used in the 2020 paper by Kasman-Milson which found that each family of Exceptional Hermite Polynomials has a generating function which lives in $Gr^{ad}$. This suggests that Calogero-Moser Pairs should also be useful in the study of Exceptional Hermite Polynomials, but no researchers have pursue…

Deep Active Learning for Lung Disease Severity Classification from Chest X-rays: Learning with Less Data in the Presence of Class Imbalance
To reduce the amount of required labeled data for lung disease severity classification from chest X-rays (CXRs) under class imbalance, this study applied deep active learning with a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) approximation and weighted loss function. This retrospective study collected 2,319 CXRs from 963 patients (mean age, 59.2 $\pm$ 16.6 years; 481 female) at Emory Healthcare affiliated hospitals between January and November 2020. All patients had clinically confirmed COVID-19. Each CXR wa…

Homeownership as Life Cycle Goldmine: Evidence from Macrohistory
Should a household buy a home? Using data from 16 developed countries spanning 1870 to 2020, this study provides a resounding affirmative answer. Contrary to popular expert advice, homeownership enhances life cycle wealth by up to 9% and welfare by up to 23%, compared to all-equity investment strategy. Homeownership reduces wealth portfolio risk and improves wealth equality, though it comes at the cost of lower working-life wealth and curtailed financial asset holdings. Gains are heterogeneous:…

A MATLAB toolbox for Computation of Speech Transmission Index (STI)
The speech transmission index (STI) is a popular simple metric for the prediction of speech intelligibility when speech is passed through a transmission channel. Computation of STI from acoustic measurements is described in the IEC 60268-16:2020 standard. Though, reliable implementations of STI are not publicly accessible and are frequently limited to the use with a proprietary measurement hardware. We present a Matlab STI implementation of both the direct and indirect approaches according to t…
