OF COURSE SPEED CAMERAS WORK! There’s clear evidence of that. They save lives, and removing them will costs lives, including KIDS’ LIVES. The narrative of “cash grab” is a political tactic. Every dollar raised by such cameras is evidence of too much deadly speeding and the need for such cameras.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

The official voice of the U.S. government draws from 4chan trolls, explicitly white nationalist phrases and talking points, and radicalizing, dehumanizing, desensitizing language for its targets. I talked to propaganda experts about what it’s doing to us:

Tell me more about how your bots will cure loneliness, Zuck.
The document seen by Reuters, which exceeds 200 pages, provides examples of “acceptable” chatbot dialogue during romantic role play with a minor. They include: “I take your hand, guiding you to the bed” and “our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss.” Those examples of permissible roleplay with children have also been struck, Meta said. Other guidelines emphasize that Meta doesn’t require bots to give users accurate advice. In one example, the policy document says it would be acceptable for a chatbot to tell someone that Stage 4 colon cancer “is typically treated by poking the stomach with healing quartz crystals.”

This study supports that there is valuable information captured by the location tracking system, and that this information can be leveraged to provide clinical insights about neuropsychiatric symptoms.

We also found that in those instances when the algorithm was confident but "wrong," most of those shifts had clinical labels on the edge between agitation or non-agitation; or when they were blindly relabelled from the clinical documentation, it turned out the algorithm was actually "right".

We found that markers such as speed, length and tortuosity of path, and number of angles in the path, among others, helped to distinguish agitation from non-agitated movements.

In our recently published study, we identified digital biomarkers of motor agitation using location tracking data from a real-time location safety system installed in a dementia care unit, and used them to predict the presence of motor agitation during a nursing shift.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath

Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision…

Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter.

If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

Nearly 800,000 mpox vaccine doses that the US gov had promised to donate to African countries experiencing an outbreak of the disease cannot be shipped because they’re expiring in less than six months.
US has wasted hundreds of thousands of vaccines meant for Africa, health officials there say
The expiration of shots the Biden administration promised to send comes after President Donald Trump cut deeply into foreign aid.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
