Hey! I've been doing a lot of work stuff. Senior engineer slash engineering manager life. But I'm really fucking pumped that the FCC is moving to restore net neutrality in the US. You might be able to tell how pumped I am from the *checks notes* meme I just found on my NAS, that I made in 2017, when I felt there weren't enough net neutrality memes on the internet :)

Ohio governor calls special session to ensure Biden gets on ballot

So! Many! Kittens!
(Going to record a demo of the new interactive shell – REPL to some – and multi-page Settings this afternoon, just planning it out now.)
Oh and is that me creating and calling web routes interactively in the REPL on a live server? Why yes, yes it is.

A dark standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant following LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA O4a
We present a new constraint on the Hubble constant ($H_0$) from the standard dark siren method using a sample of $5$ well-covered gravitational wave (GW) alerts reported during the first part of the fourth LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observing runs in combination with standard dark sirens from the first three runs. Our methodology relies on the galaxy catalog method alone. We use the full probability density estimation of photometric redshifts derived by a deep learning method using the DESI Legacy Survey…

The Risk of Aircraft-Acquired SARS-CoV-2 Transmission during Commercial Flights: A Systematic Review
The aircraft-acquired transmission of SARS-CoV-2 poses a public health risk. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and analysis of articles, published prior to vaccines being available, from 24 January 2020 to 20 April 2021 to identify factors important for transmission. Articles were included if they mentioned index cases and identifiable flight duration, and excluded if they discussed non-commercial aircraft, airflow or transmission models, cases without flight data, o…

A minha contribuição de filme que emburrece da #terCinema de hoje é Rambo 3. Esses filmes patriotas americanos são todos muito emburrecedores ao pintar os EUA como os bonzinhos do mundo e deixando as pessoas com uma visão completamente infantil, irreal e maniqueísta, de como funcionam as relações internacionais. Mas Rambo 3 merece destaque especial como emburrecedor por santificar os ultra-…

CORE-BEHRT: A Carefully Optimized and Rigorously Evaluated BEHRT
BERT-based models for Electronic Health Records (EHR) have surged in popularity following the release of BEHRT and Med-BERT. Subsequent models have largely built on these foundations despite the fundamental design choices of these pioneering models remaining underexplored. To address this issue, we introduce CORE-BEHRT, a Carefully Optimized and Rigorously Evaluated BEHRT. Through incremental optimization, we isolate the sources of improvement for key design choices, giving us insights into the…
