This is worth a listen, especially if you like Armando Iannucci and/or Stewart Lee!
Comedy writer Armando Iannucci decodes the utterly baffling world of political language.
This week, Helen Lewis is away, so comedian and writer Stewart Lee joins Armando to look at Robert Jenrick's flashy video in which he takes aim at 'weird Turkish barber shops', among other things. They discuss how the way politicians, entertainers and journalists are changing and overlapping…

R learning for applied statistics by Chenxin Li: #rstats

So, ich habe jetzt die Idiocracy hoffentlich durchgespielt und komme hoffentlich endlich wieder in die Map mit der Intelligenz und Empathie. Eben habe ich als Anmerkung zum laufenden Krieg im Nahen Osten und israelischen Angriffen auf iranische Erdölanlangen folgenden Satz gelesen: »Experten warnen: Das könnte für deutsche Autofahrer teuer werden.«
Die armen deutschen Autofahrer!

Enhancing Orthopedic Surgical Training With Interactive Photorealistic 3D Visualization
Surgical training integrates several years of didactic learning, simulation, mentorship, and hands-on experience. Challenges include stress, technical demands, and new technologies. Orthopedic education often uses static materials like books, images, and videos, lacking interactivity. This study compares a new interactive photorealistic 3D visualization to 2D videos for learning total hip arthroplasty. In a randomized controlled trial, participants (students and residents) were evaluated on spa…

MindGrab for BrainChop: Fast and Accurate Skull Stripping for Command Line and Browser
We developed MindGrab, a parameter- and memory-efficient deep fully-convolutional model for volumetric skull-stripping in head images of any modality. Its architecture, informed by a spectral interpretation of dilated convolutions, was trained exclusively on modality-agnostic synthetic data. MindGrab was evaluated on a retrospective dataset of 606 multimodal adult-brain scans (T1, T2, DWI, MRA, PDw MRI, EPI, CT, PET) sourced from the SynthStrip dataset. Performance was benchmarked against Synth…

The Energy Spectrum of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays across Declinations $-90^\circ$ to $+44.8^\circ$ as measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5 EeV has been measured across the declination range $-90^\circ \leqδ\leq +44.8^\circ$ using data from $\sim 310{,}000$ events accrued at the Pierre Auger Observatory from an exposure of $(104{,}900\pm 3{,}100)$ km$^2\,$sr$\,$yr. No significant variations of energy spectra with declination are observed, after allowing or not for non-uniformities across the sky arising from the well-established dipolar anisotropies in the arrival directions of ultra-hi…

My favorite actor from DS9, Armin Shimerman, aka "Quark". So much better than waiting in line at the cons. 😜
