Interessanter Beitrag dazu, dass in unserer Welt vieles auf Männer ausgerichtet ist. Diesmal: Fußball
Da Frauen im Schnitt 15 % kleiner sind als Männer u. weniger Muskelmasse haben, müssten Spielfeld und Tor um 15 % verkleinert und die Spielzeit entsprechend verkürzt werden.
Das Experiment wurde tatsächlich gemacht, allerdings anders rum: Alles wurde vergrößert u. verlängert (der Ball wurde zudem schwerer) und dann haben die Männer unter diesen Bedingungen gespielt 🧵

When I find it discouraging that young twenty-somethings often don’t seem to care about these things, it’s good for me to remember that I care a lot now, but I really don’t even remember these giant protests from when I was a young twenty-something.
I do remember talking with people and saying things like “going to war without actual evidence—just GWB saying stuff—is stupid” and being shot down by older folks.
But I really don’t remember most of the political action.

Voice-based AI Agents: Filling the Economic Gaps in Digital Health Delivery
The integration of voice-based AI agents in healthcare presents a transformative opportunity to bridge economic and accessibility gaps in digital health delivery. This paper explores the role of large language model (LLM)-powered voice assistants in enhancing preventive care and continuous patient monitoring, particularly in underserved populations. Drawing insights from the development and pilot study of Agent PULSE (Patient Understanding and Liaison Support Engine) -- a collaborative initiati…

tiDAS: a time invariant approximation of the Delay and Sum algorithm for biomedical ultrasound PSF reconstructions
Ultrasound imaging is a real-time diagnostic modality that reconstructs acoustic signals into visual representations of internal body structures. A key component in this process is beamforming, with the Delay and Sum (DAS) algorithm being a standard due to its balance between simplicity and effectiveness. However, the computational cost of DAS can be a limiting factor, especially in real-time scenarios where fast frame reconstruction is essential. In this work, we introduce a time-invariant app…

Stratified wind from a super-Eddington X-ray binary is slower than expected
Accretion discs in strong gravity ubiquitously produce winds, seen as blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray band of both stellar mass X-ray binaries (black holes and neutron stars), and supermassive black holes. Some of the most powerful winds (termed Eddington winds) are expected to arise from systems where radiation pressure is sufficient to unbind material from the inner disc ($L\gtrsim L_{\rm Edd}$). These winds should be extremely fast and carry a large amount of kinetic power, which, …

Nature of High Equivalent Width Emitters in the Epoch of Reionization Revealed by JWST Medium-band Imaging
Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at high redshifts are considered key contributors to cosmic reionization at $z>6$ due to their higher ionization efficiencies. We have identified 119 H$β$ + [OIII] emitters at $z\sim7$ selected by a flux excess in the medium-band filter F410M in the public James Webb Space Telescope Cycle-1 fields. Our emitters exhibit a wide range in rest-frame H$β$ + [OIII] equivalent width (EWs), 420 $<$ EW$_{0}$/Å $<$ 6850 (with the median value of $\sim1700$ Å). A…

SecFSM: Knowledge Graph-Guided Verilog Code Generation for Secure Finite State Machines in Systems-on-Chip
Finite State Machines (FSMs) play a critical role in implementing control logic for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). Traditionally, FSMs are implemented by hardware engineers through Verilog coding, which is often tedious and time-consuming. Recently, with the remarkable progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) in code generation, LLMs have been increasingly explored for automating Verilog code generation. However, LLM-generated Verilog code often suffers from security vulnerabilities, which is particula…

Few-shot transfer of tool-use skills using human demonstrations with proximity and tactile sensing
Tools extend the manipulation abilities of robots, much like they do for humans. Despite human expertise in tool manipulation, teaching robots these skills faces challenges. The complexity arises from the interplay of two simultaneous points of contact: one between the robot and the tool, and another between the tool and the environment. Tactile and proximity sensors play a crucial role in identifying these complex contacts. However, learning tool manipulation using these sensors remains challe…

APB: twitchy siren
Maybe it's the conversion to the Xbox pad, but APB is incredibly difficult to control. In order to arrest someone you have to have your cursor over them and press the siren, because obviously criminals are only going to pay attention to a police car which is an exact distance away from them. The thing is that the cursor is not at a set distance from your car, but instead varies with the speed you're going.
