Turning an old Amazon Kindle into a eink development platform
I fancied getting an eink screen to use for future projects. I bought a wee one with a raspberry pi “hat” attached. However, I realised later that I could maybe just re-purpose an old A…

Es geht um das automatisierte Erkennen von Emotionen in Gesichtern: »Wie gesehen, fußen viele der für das ganze Gebiet maßgeblichen Datensätze darauf, dass Schauspieler für die Kamera mimisch darstellen. Das bedeutet, dass KI-Systeme auf das Erkennen unechter Gefühlsausdrücke trainiert werden. Sie behaupten also zwar, Zugang zu Grundwahrheiten über natürliche innere Zustände zu haben, aber ihr Trainingsmaterial ist zwangsläufig unauthentisch.«

Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at a cruising speed, it was not capable of flying at lower speeds or achieving takeoff without assistance.

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts
In the paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of entire function concerning its derivative and shift and obtain two results. On of our result solves the open problem posed by Majumder et al. (On a conjecture of Li and Yang, Hiroshima Math. J., 53 (2023), 199-223) and the other result improves and generalizes the recent result due to Huang and Fang (Unicity of entire functions concerning their shifts and derivatives, Comput. Methods Funct. Theory, 21 (2021), 523-532) in a large extend.

A note on the relation between one--step, outcome regression and IPW--type estimators of parameters with the mixed bias property

A note on the relation between one--step, outcome regression and IPW--type estimators of parameters with the mixed bias property
Bruns-Smith et al. (2025) established an algebraic identity between the one-step estimator and a specific outcome regression-type estimator for a class of parameters that forms a strict subset of the class introduced in Chernozhukov et al. (2022), assuming both nuisance functions are estimated as linear combinations of given features. They conjectured that this identity extends to the broader mixed bias class introduced in Rotnitzky et al. (2021). In this note, we prove their conjecture and fur…

Vaccinating Now or Vaccinating Later: Separating Pull-Forward and Net Effects Using a Dynamic Regression Discontinuity Design
We study the impact of a novel COVID-19 vaccine mandate, targeting graduating high-school students, on first vaccine uptake. In 2021, the State Government of Western Australia (WA) required attendees at "Leavers" -- a large-scale state-supported graduation party held annually in November in a WA regional town -- to be vaccinated. Using administrative data that link date-of-birth (at the month level), school attendance, and first-dose vaccination records, we exploit the strict school-age laws in…
