The impact on health system expenditure in Australia and OECD countries from accelerated NCD mortality decline through prevention or treatment strategies to achieve Sustainable Development Goal Target 3.4
Background: It is unclear what the relative impacts of prevention or treatment of NCDs are on future health system expenditure. First, we estimated expenditure in Australia for prevention vs treatment pathways to achieve SDG target 3.4. Second, we applied the method to 34 other OECD countries. Methods: We used GBD data to estimate average annual percentage changes in disease incidence, remission, and CFRs from 1990-2021, and projected to 2030 to estimate business-as-usual (BAU) reductions in …

Conceptual Design Report of Super Tau-Charm Facility: The Accelerator
Electron-positron colliders operating in the GeV region of center-of-mass energies or the Tau-Charm energy region, have been proven to enable competitive frontier research, due to its several unique features. With the progress of high energy physics in the last two decades, a new-generation Tau-Charm factory, Super Tau Charm Facility (STCF) has been actively promoting by the particle physics community in China. STCF holds great potential to address fundamental questions such as the essence of c…

Permutations accelerate Approximate Bayesian Computation
Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods have become essential tools for performing inference when likelihood functions are intractable or computationally prohibitive. However, their scalability remains a major challenge in hierarchical or high-dimensional models. In this paper, we introduce permABC, a new ABC framework designed for settings with both global and local parameters, where observations are grouped into exchangeable compartments. Building upon the Sequential Monte Carlo ABC …

Clarifying “AI First” – What It Really Means for rsyslog - rsyslog
TL;DR:The rsyslog project is embracing AI First (Human-Controlled) — AI is becoming an integral partner across development, documentation, user education, technical support, deployment guidance, and future observability tools. This does not mean “vibe coding” or letting AI run unsupervised. Instead, AI accelerates routine work, drafts ideas, and provides insights, while Rainer Gerhards — with decades […]

Explainable AI for Accelerated Microstructure Imaging: A SHAP-Guided Protocol on the Connectome 2.0 scanner
The diffusion MRI Neurite Exchange Imaging model offers a promising framework for probing gray matter microstructure by estimating parameters such as compartment sizes, diffusivities, and inter-compartmental water exchange time. However, existing protocols require long scan times. This study proposes a reduced acquisition scheme for the Connectome 2.0 scanner that preserves model accuracy while substantially shortening scan duration. We developed a data-driven framework using explainable artifi…

38% speedup on one of my test setups from a single-character code change.
This bug hiding in libscopehal for ages meant that if you tried to preallocate a buffer to avoid constant resizes, you'd end up reallocating even if the buffer was already the right size. If you're doing this every filter invocation, it adds up.

…exactly our current size

Tonight's quick ngscopeclient dev fix: GPU accelerating the demo scope.
It now runs quite a few times faster than before (and is faster to process subsequent filter blocks on, since the input data is now GPU resident).
Not super critical but a nice quality-of-life fix since I use the demo scope as a data source for development pretty often.
