Neurodiversity, scotpol
The Scottish Government has spent about two years consulting on how to consult about the Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill the SNP said they'd introduce in their 2021 manifesto.
So HOW have they managed to come back with a consultation featuring a 190-page full consultation document, with a 35-page "short guide" - that's 35 pages of A4, mind?
Where the education section alone is roughly a half-hour read?
Where they felt the need to include a request to "Please USE THIS GUIDE - _here_ - on How to complete your online response"... and then forgot to actually link to the guide?
Where the page on completing a written out recorded response instructs people to "please complete the Respondent Information Form and send with your completed questionnaire" but links to neither of those documents?
...anyway, so I'll be live on the SEMA YouTube tomorrow at 12:30 trying to be as constructive and helpful as possible about all this.

AssetHarvester: A Static Analysis Tool for Detecting Assets Protected by Secrets in Software Artifacts
GitGuardian monitored secrets exposure in public GitHub repositories and reported developers leaked over 12 million secrets (database and other credentials) in 2023, indicating a 113% surge from 2021. Despite the availability of secret detection tools, developers ignore the tools' reported warnings because of false positives (25%-99%). However, each secret protects assets of different values accessible through asset identifiers (a DNS name and a public or private IP address). The asset informat…

Very soon, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., is expected to issue a ruling that could expose key pieces of discovery that some lawyers say prove Donald Trump acted in his “private” capacity on Jan. 6, 2021
— not in his official role
— when whipping up a mob of his supporters at the Ellipse and urging them to descend on the Capitol where lawmakers were meeting to certify the 2020 election.

The Trump Docket: A window into Trump's 'private' acts on Jan. 6 may soon be opened by judge
It was a rocky week featuring significant losses for Donald Trump's many bids to dismiss his indictments or waylay longrunning civil litigation around Jan. 6.

Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) excels in various domains but lacks generalizability and interpretability.

An application of power indices for the family of weighted majority games in partition function form
Based on Holler (1982) and Armijos-Toro et al. (2021) we propose two power indices to measure the influence of the players in the class of weighted majority games in partition function form. We compare these new power indices with their original versions on the class of games in characteristic function form. Finally, we use both pairs of power indices for games in partition function form to study the distribution of power in the National Assembly of Ecuador that emerged after the elections of F…

Multi-Center Fetal Brain Tissue Annotation (FeTA) Challenge 2022 Results
Segmentation is a critical step in analyzing the developing human fetal brain. There have been vast improvements in automatic segmentation methods in the past several years, and the Fetal Brain Tissue Annotation (FeTA) Challenge 2021 helped to establish an excellent standard of fetal brain segmentation. However, FeTA 2021 was a single center study, and the generalizability of algorithms across different imaging centers remains unsolved, limiting real-world clinical applicability. The multi-cent…

The Impact of Sanctions on GitHub Developers and Activities
The GitHub platform has fueled the creation of truly global software, enabling contributions from developers across various geographical regions of the world. As software becomes more entwined with global politics and social regulations, it becomes similarly subject to government sanctions. In 2019, GitHub restricted access to certain services for users in specific locations but rolled back these restrictions for some communities (e.g., the Iranian community) in 2021. We conducted a large-scale…

The bright black hole X-ray binary 4U 1543-47 during 2021 outburst. A clear state transition from super-Eddington to sub-Eddington accretion revealed by Insight-HXMT
We present a detailed analysis of the observations with the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope of the black hole X-ray transient 4U~1543-47 during its outburst in 2021. We find a clear state transition during the outburst decay of the source. Using previous measurements of the black-hole mass and distance to the source, the source luminosity during this transition is close to the Eddington limit. The light curves before and after the transition can be fitted by two exponential functions with short…

Multivariate confluent Vandermonde with G-Arnoldi and applications
In the least-squares fitting framework, the Vandermonde with Arnoldi (V+A) method presented in [Brubeck, Nakatsukasa, and Trefethen, SIAM Review, 63 (2021), pp. 405-415] is an effective approach to compute a polynomial that approximates an underlying univariate function f. Extensions of V+A include its multivariate version and the univariate confluent V+A; the latter enables us to use the information of the derivative of f in obtaining the approximation polynomial. In this paper, we shall exten…

Browns Re-Signing DT Maurice Hurst To One-Year, $3.2M Deal
Adam Schefter reports that the Browns are re-signing DT Maurice Hurst to a one-year deal worth $3.2 million. Hurst, 28, was a former fifth-round pick by the Raiders in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He was entering the final year of a $3.983 million rookie deal and set to earn a base salary of $2,183,000 next season when the Raiders waived him.  Hurst quickly caught on with the 49ers on a one-year deal in 2021 but was injured and only appeared in two games. He missed the entire 2022 seaso…

Unveiling Luminous Ly$α$ Emitters at $z\approx6$ through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field
We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Ly$α$ Emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift $z\approx6$) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging dataset. These LAEs with high Ly$α$ luminosity of $L$(Ly$α$) $\sim10^{42.4-43.4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey (Kartaltepe et al. 2021; Casey et al. 2022) over $0.28$ deg$^2$ in four NIRCam bands (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W).

Austria's KlimaTicket: Assessing the short-term impact of a cheap nationwide travel pass on demand

A recent example is the nationwide KlimaTicket in Austria, a country with a relatively high share of transport-related emissions. The cheap yearly season ticket introduced in October 2021 allows unlimited access to Austria's public transport network. Using the synthetic control and synthetic difference-in-differences methods, I assess the causal effect of this policy on public transport deman…

Former U.S. defense secretary Jim Mattis secretly advised an Arab monarch. » The details: Before Mattis became defense secretary in 2017, the U.S. allowed him to advise UAE’s ruler on the war in Yemen. Then Mattis and U.S. officials fought to conceal it. * How we know: The Post sued in 2021 for records of retired U.S. military personnel employed by foreign governments. Agencies took over 2 years to release information about Mattis.

Probabilistic Generating Circuits -- Demystified
Zhang et al. (ICML 2021, PLMR 139, pp. 12447-1245) introduced probabilistic generating circuits (PGCs) as a probabilistic model to unify probabilistic circuits (PCs) and determinantal point processes (DPPs). At a first glance, PGCs store a distribution in a very different way, they compute the probability generating polynomial instead of the probability mass function and it seems that this is the main reason why PGCs are more powerful than PCs or DPPs. However, PGCs also allow for negative weig…
