Searching for a Hidden Markov Anomaly over Multiple Processes
We address the problem of detecting an anomalous process among a large number of processes. At each time t, normal processes are in state zero (normal state), while the abnormal process may be in either state zero (normal state) or state one (abnormal state), with the states being hidden. The transition between states for the abnormal process is governed by a Markov chain over time. At each time step, observations can be drawn from a selected subset of processes. Each probed process generates a…

Is it normal that I have low-level PTSD from not being confirmed for my position during probation period at my previous job and that now I don't want to even add the current one to my linkedin profile, nor assume I'll still have it next year?

Has any one done a survey/count of the number of technical or other US-venue meetings or conventions are being cancelled because of the danger to foreign nationals who attend?
The US has become a police state much, much faster than Nazi Germany did in the 1930's.
I've already noticed a downturn - for instance I was able to book rooms at a fancy hotel (Four Seasons) for about 1/2 of the normal rate.

bioarchaeology research
It is totally normal to find an email in your inbox that is asking:
"Have you ever heard of someone being amputated and not surviving and having their leg taken to the grave, or of someone trying to treat a head injury and removing the skullcap and the person still dying and having the removed skullcap fragments taken to the grave?"
I swear..

Unfortunately & conversely, this (below) is the same framing tech bros (and parts of the population) are finding so attractive to anthropomorphize LLMs: These are not machines, and them making mistakes is normal and expected... At the same time, the other card being played (by politics, military & law enforcement) is that AI-driven insights and decision making are _already_ considered superior, infallible and unchallengeable... in the middle of this two pronged rhetoric is the fate o…

Initial proof of life out of the flash: using normal x1 operation, it appears to be fully functional when driven by the MCU over APB.
So far, I haven't tested actually reading/writing data, but it's doing everything I would expect from a fully functional, correctly soldered flash. Not sure why Vivado doesn't like it.
It's definitely hooked up to the right pins since I'm using the STARTUPE3 hard IP to interface with it.

In silico tool for identification of colorectal cancer from cell-free DNA biomarkers
Colorectal cancer remains a major global health concern, with early detection being pivotal for improving patient outcomes. In this study, we leveraged high throughput methylation profiling of cellfree DNA to identify and validate diagnostic biomarkers for CRC. The GSE124600 study data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus, as the discovery cohort, comprising 142 CRC and 132 normal cfDNA methylation profiles obtained via MCTA seq. After preprocessing and filtering, 97,863 CpG sites w…
