The NHTSA closes a 2021 investigation into Tesla's Autopilot and opens a new one to evaluate whether a December 2023 Autopilot recall fix is effective enough (Sean O'Kane/TechCrunch)

Tesla Autopilot investigation closed after feds find 13 fatal crashes related to misuse | TechCrunch
The agency opened the probe in 2021, and reviewed hundreds of crashes that involved Autopilot. It says there's a "critical safety gap."

Thanks to a prod from @…, I finally fixed the issue with full-screen videos looking inverted on my personal site in dark mode.
Also, just updated my blog post on how to implement quick and dirty dark mode support in a few lines of code using CSS filters with the additional code:

Predicting postoperative risks using large language models
Predicting postoperative risk can inform effective care management & planning. We explored large language models (LLMs) in predicting postoperative risk through clinical texts using various tuning strategies. Records spanning 84,875 patients from Barnes Jewish Hospital (BJH) between 2018 & 2021, with a mean duration of follow-up based on the length of postoperative ICU stay less than 7 days, were utilized. Methods were replicated on the MIMIC-III dataset. Outcomes included 30-day mortality, pul…

Algorithmic Changes Are Not Enough: Evaluating the Removal of Race Adjustment from the eGFR Equation
Changing clinical algorithms to remove race adjustment has been proposed and implemented for multiple health conditions. Removing race adjustment from estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations may reduce disparities in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but has not been studied in clinical practice after implementation. Here, we assessed whether implementing an eGFR equation (CKD-EPI 2021) without adjustment for Black or African American race modified quarterly rates of nephrology referr…

Spherical two-distance sets and graph eigenvalues
Let $N_{α,β}(d)$ denote the maximum size of a spherical two-distance set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that the inner products of distinct vectors only take $α$ and $β$. By considering the correspondence between spherical two-distance sets and graphs with specific spectral properties, we determine $N_{α,β}(d)$ for fixed $-1\leqβ<0\leqα<1$ and sufficiently large $d$, which extends the work in [Equiangular lines with a fixed angle, Ann. Math. 194 (2021) 729-743] and [Spherical two-distance sets …

Comparing Diagonals on the Associahedra
We prove that the formula for the diagonal approximation $Δ_{K}$ on J. Stasheff's $n$-dimensional associahedron $K_{n+2}$ derived by the current authors in 2004 agrees with the "magical formula" for the diagonal approximation $Δ_{K}^{\prime}$ derived by Markl and Shnider in 2006, by Loday in 2011, and by Masuda, Thomas, Tonks, and Vallette in 2021.

Fused Extended Two-Way Fixed Effects for Difference-in-Differences with Staggered Adoptions
To address the bias of the canonical two-way fixed effects estimator for difference-in-differences under staggered adoptions, Wooldridge (2021) proposed the extended two-way fixed effects estimator, which adds many parameters. However, this reduces efficiency. Restricting some of these parameters to be equal (for example, subsequent treatment effects within a cohort) helps, but ad hoc restrictions may reintroduce bias. We propose a machine learning estimator with a single tuning parameter, fuse…

New bounds for normal approximation on product spaces with applications to monochromatic edges, random sums and an infinite de Jong CLT
We extend the Malliavin theory for $L^2$-functionals on product probability spaces that has recently been developed by Decreusefond and Halconruy (2019) and by Duerinckx (2021), by characterizing the domains and investigating the actions of the three Malliavin operators in terms of the infinite Hoeffding decomposition in $L^2$, which we identify as the natural analogue of the famous Wiener-Itô chaos decomposition on Gaussian and Poisson spaces. We further combine this theory with Stein's metho…

How do machines learn? Evaluating the AIcon2abs method
This paper evaluates AI from concrete to Abstract (Queiroz et al. 2021), a recently proposed method that enables awareness among the general public on machine learning. Such is possible due to the use of WiSARD, an easily understandable machine learning mechanism, thus requiring little effort and no technical background from the target users. WiSARD is adherent to digital computing; training consists of writing to RAM-type memories, and classification consists of reading from these memories. Th…

Protect Your Score: Contact Tracing With Differential Privacy Guarantees
The pandemic in 2020 and 2021 had enormous economic and societal consequences, and studies show that contact tracing algorithms can be key in the early containment of the virus. While large strides have been made towards more effective contact tracing algorithms, we argue that privacy concerns currently hold deployment back. The essence of a contact tracing algorithm constitutes the communication of a risk score. Yet, it is precisely the communication and release of this score to a user that an…

Kevin Speed to launch three new high-speed lines in France
In a massive leap forward for market opening in French rail, the SNCF will no longer be the only option for those wishing to travel at high speed between the French capital, and three major cities: Lille, Lyon, and Strasbourg. Yesterday, the new railway operator Kevin Speed, founded in 2021, signed a framework agreement with SNCF Réseau for the launch of its ilisto service.

The United States as a whole has 81 percent of African American children attending non-white majority schools, as compared to 77 percent in 1968.
Moreover, the concentration of African American children into non-white majority schools has increased in every region except the Midwest, which has been broadly stable.
We note that the data for the Border region reflects the broader Hispanic immigration, which complicates the comparison to some extent.
Nevertheless, it is dif…

Two-term spectral asymptotics in linear elasticity
We establish the two-term spectral asymptotics for boundary value problems of linear elasticity on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension. We also present some illustrative examples and give a historical overview of the subject. In particular, we correct erroneous results published in [J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021), 10164--10193].

Applications of the kinetic theory for a model of a confined quasi-two dimensional granular mixture: Stability analysis and thermal diffusion segregation
The Boltzmann kinetic theory for a model of a confined quasi-two dimensional granular mixture derived previously [Garzó, Brito and Soto, Phys. Fluids \textbf{33}, 023310 (2021)] is considered further to analyze two different problems. First, a linear stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations with respect to the homogeneous steady state (HSS) is carried out to identify the conditions for stability as functions of the wave vector, the coefficients of restitution, and the parameters of the…

"Ich ärgere mich maßlos, weil Distanzlosigkeit zu Ott die akribische Arbeit zu Wirecard & Co torpediert hat", schreibt Ben Weiser auf X.
ZackZack-Gründer Peter Pilz wiederum hat sich erstmals öffentlich geäußert und sagt zu kursierenden Gerüchten: "Ob mir Egisto Ott eine Kopie des Kloibmüller-Sticks* übergeben hat, unterliegt dem Redaktionsgeheimnis."
