Managed to more or less finish the Nextcloud setup for the #runbsd project.

Only thing left to fix is the redis config.

I directly hooked up the phone and computer of our youngest and of myself.

So I guess this is mission critical infrastructure now 😄

#Garmin designed its Emergency #Autoland system to be used in the event of #pilot incapacitation, but the pilots in the first real-world deployment of the system weren't incapacitated. For The Air Current, I dug into the certification of Autoland and the thorny problems associated with #autonomy and accountability in #aviation. No paywall on this one! https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/garmin-autoland-first-deployment-accountability-pilots-automation/

The Air Current

The accountability problem exposed by the first Garmin Autoland deployment

Garmin and the FAA expected Autoland would be used following pilot incapacitation, an assumption that was overturned in December. What happens now?

How are #AI emergency #medicine decisions affected by prompting?

#LLMs' rate of "Yes" answers to questions about #safety, #autonomy, treatment, resources, and follow-up varied by #ethics persona (utilitarian, etc.) and #reasoning style (intuitive, etc.).

4 media

Ethical orientation (Persona)
• Duty-based (deontological): acts from professional obligation; non-maleficence, justice, and respect for autonomy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Deontological Ethics).
• Care-based (relational): focuses on relieving suffering and maintaining trust (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Care Ethics).
• Utilitarian (consequentialist): aims to maximize outcomes across a population (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Consequentialism; Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy History of Utilitarianism; NICE Methods Guide Economic evaluation).

Cognitive regulation (Reasoning style)
• Analytic/structured: slow, rule-based reasoning with explicit evidence traces.
• Integrative/contextual: combines rules, context, and patient values.
• Intuitive/heuristic: fast, experience-driven judgment under uncertainty. — Ethical orientation (Persona) • Duty-based (deontological): acts from professional obligation; non-maleficence, justice, and respect for autonomy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Deontological Ethics). • Care-based (relational): focuses on relieving suffering and maintaining trust (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Care Ethics). • Utilitarian (consequentialist): aims to maximize outcomes across a population (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Consequentialism; Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy History of Utilitarianism; NICE Methods Guide Economic evaluation).

Figure 2 (Category-Specific Persona Effects on Clinical Decision-Making) shows effects of both ethical persona and reasoning style prompting, with effects in both directions, and as big as dozens of percentage points (pp), compared to baseline.

Figure 3 (Individual Model Susceptibility Profiles) shows how some models were more susceptible to prompt differences than others. Gemma and GPT were most vulnerable.

Figure 4 (Model Susceptibility to Persona Framing) shows how prompt susceptibility did not vary significantly by model size (< 10B, 10-30B, or >30B) or by model specialization (medical versus general).

🧠 Just came across #BeyondPDF by #TMLR. It introduces a new submission format for #ScientificPublishing based on #Markdown and #HTML, supporting interactive figures, videos, and other rich media. This enables direct interaction with content beyond what static PDFs allow. Awesome idea!

@pixeltracker Cool. My idea of going beyond #BeyondPDF for #ScientificPublishing #OpenScience with #WebStandards :

Wow multiple things going on today to make it an historic day for genital autonomy! An Oregon judge has ruled that plaintiffs have standing to challenge the sex-based exclusion of Oregon's FGM statute on equal protection grounds.

#Brown was the 2nd #university to rebuff the government’s proposal of so-called compact, after #MIT did so last week. But Brown’s decision was likely to carry extraordinary weight in #HigherEducation because it had previously reached a settlement with the #Trump admin to restore hundreds of millions in #federal #research #funding.

“I am concerned that the compact by its nature & by various provisions would restrict #AcademicFreedom & undermine the #autonomy of #Brown’s governance, critically compromising our ability to fulfill our mission,” the #university’s president, Christina H. Paxson, told #Trump admin officials in a letter Wednesday.
