Improved Clifford operations in constant commutative depth
The commutative depth model allows gates that commute with each other to be performed in parallel. We show how to compute Clifford operations in constant commutative depth more efficiently than was previously known. Bravyi, Maslov, and Nam [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129:230501, 2022] showed that every element of the Clifford group (on $n$ qubits) can be computed in commutative depth 23 and size $O(n^2)$. We show that the Prefix Sum problem can be computed in commutative depth 16 and size $O(n \log n)$, …

In 2022, Oregonians narrowly passed Measure 111,
⭐️amending their constitution and guaranteeing affordable health care as a fundamental right to every resident of the state.
Through years of organizing, coalition building and planning,
💥Oregon may enact its Universal Health Plan as early as fall 2027. 
In the face of extreme Medicaid cuts from the Trump administration
-- which will leave roughly 16 million people without health coverage by 2034
-- a state-l…

Could Oregon chart the course for universal health care in the US?
Oregon is on the verge of enacting a single-payer health care plan, but continued organizing is needed to secure this historic victory.

Lots of "health officials" being quoted on the news assuring the UK that paracetamol is safe for pregnant women, but no webpage I can see yet in which the UK government directly disputes the advice of the US government.
NHS has this page, marked as last reviewed in 2022.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility while taking paracetamol for adults
NHS medicines information on paracetamol and whether you can take it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

I must say I was disappointed there wasn't a sequel to Céline and Jesse's story in 2022.
But maybe… everything that had to be said has been said. That's probably it.
"You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Lodged in life
Like two branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you, you’ll carry me

Private and public school efficiency gaps in Latin America-A combined DEA and machine learning approach based on PISA 2022
Latin America's education systems are fragmented and segregated, with substantial differences by school type. The concept of school efficiency (the ability of school to produce the maximum level of outputs given available resources) is policy relevant due to scarcity of resources in the region. Knowing whether private and public schools are making an efficient use of resources -and which are the leading drivers of efficiency- is critical, even more so after the learning crisis brought by the CO…

Gestern demonstrierten rund 60 Fahrradfahrer:nnen in #Osnabrück für bessere Radwege. Eine schöne Spazierfahrt die bei 18 Grad etwas kälter als erwartet fand. Da wir als Gruppe als ein Fahrzeug gelten, können wir Kreuzungen und Überwege passieren, sobald die ersten Räder drüber sind. Auch wenn dass dann z.B. wieder Rot wird. Das fühlt sich seltsam an, und macht Laune. Endlich mal Vorfahrt für …
