I found two different apps for iOS that will export GPX files one at a time, which is nice when you don't want to export *all* of your Apple Health data to get just a few files.
But also, it's fucked up that we cannot just access the data/files in the file system.
Yeah, yeah, I know... Apple, iOS, etc. So much I don't love but it's the lesser of many evils ecosystem for me right now.

Spezi Data Pipeline: Streamlining FHIR-based Interoperable Digital Health Data Workflows
The increasing adoption of digital health technologies has amplified the need for robust, interoperable solutions to manage complex healthcare data. We present the Spezi Data Pipeline, an open-source Python toolkit designed to streamline the analysis of digital health data, from secure access and retrieval to processing, visualization, and export. The Pipeline is integrated into the larger Stanford Spezi open-source ecosystem for developing research and translational digital health software sys…

Exploiting Convexity of Neural Networks in Dynamic Operating Envelope Optimization for Distributed Energy Resources

Exploiting Convexity of Neural Networks in Dynamic Operating Envelope Optimization for Distributed Energy Resources
The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) brings opportunities and challenges to the operation of distribution systems. To ensure network integrity, dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs) are issued by utilities to DERs as their time-varying export/import power limits. Due to the non-convex nature of power flow equations, the optimization of DOEs faces a dilemma of solution accuracy and computation efficiency. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we facilitate DOE optimization…

The European Union Deforestation Regulation: The Impact on Argentina
We analyze the potential economic impacts in Argentina of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which as of January 2026 will prohibit the export to the European Union of certain raw materials and related products if they involve the use of deforested land. We estimate that the EUDR would cover around 6 billion US dollars in exported value, but only 2.84% is not compliant with the EUDR, with soy and cattle being the most affected production chains. We use a dynamic computable gene…

Two-Sided Market Power in Firm-to-Firm Trade
This paper develops a theory of bargaining in firm-to-firm trade with two-sided market power. The framework accommodates flexible market structures, yielding analytical expressions for pair-specific markups and pass-through elasticities. In U.S. import data, we estimate strong importer bargaining power and an upward-sloping export supply curve, consistent with oligopsony power. Pass-through of the 2018 tariffs in firm-to-firm relationships is incomplete, in contrast to product-level studies, pr…
