In an earlier study, van Diepen et al10 reported that patients with AF had a 69% increased risk of death when compared with patients with stable coronary artery disease. ... McAlister et al6 reported a higher risk of cardiovascular death, heart failure, and myocardial injury among 961 patients with AF postoperatively in the VISION (Vascular Events in Noncardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation) registry. Our study adds to the growing knowledge base on the adverse prognostic impact of patients with AF who undergo noncardiac surgery. Further work, however, is needed to better delineate the mechanisms accounting for worse perioperative outcomes in the AF population."

Weapons With Minds of Their Own

Weapons With Minds of Their Own: The United States is in a race to harness gargantuan leaps in artificial intelligence to develop new weapons systems for a new kind of warfare.

Cornerstone Speech | American Battlefield Trust

Cornerstone Speech | American Battlefield Trust 

"But not to be tedious in enumerating the numerous changes for the better, allow me to allude to one other though last, not least. The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that, somehow or other in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in the constitution, was the prevailing idea at that time. The constitution, it is true, secured every essential guarantee to the institution while it should last, and hence no argument can be justly urged against the constitutional guarantees thus secured, because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew."

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of the mind from a defect in reasoning. It is a species of insanity. One of the most striking characteristics of insanity, in many instances, is forming correct conclusions from fancied or erroneous premises; so with the anti-slavery fanatics. Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails.

NATO Review - An Artificial Intelligence Strategy for NATO

NATO Review - An Artificial Intelligence Strategy for NATO: "Allies and NATO commit to ensuring that the AI applications they develop and consider for deployment will be in accordance with the following six principles: 
  1.  Lawfulness: AI applications will be developed and used in accordance with national and international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights law, as applicable. 
  2.  Responsibility and Accountability: AI applications will be developed and used with appropriate levels of judgment and care; clear human responsibility shall apply in order to ensure accountability. 
  3.  Explainability and Traceability: AI applications will be appropriately understandable and transparent, including through the use of review methodologies, sources, and procedures. This includes verification, assessment and validation mechanisms at either a NATO and/or national level. 
  4.  Reliability: AI applications will have explicit, well-defined use cases. The safety, security, and robustness of such capabilities will be subject to testing and assurance within those use cases across their entire life cycle, including through established NATO and/or national certification procedures. 
  5.  Governability: AI applications will be developed and used according to their intended functions and will allow for: appropriate human-machine interaction; the ability to detect and avoid unintended consequences; and the ability to take steps, such as disengagement or deactivation of systems, when such systems demonstrate unintended behaviour. 
  6.  Bias Mitigation: Proactive steps will be taken to minimise any unintended bias in the development and use of AI applications and in data sets."

Terror Management Theory - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Terror Management Theory - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics: “The basic premise of TMT is that people evolved to manage the existential threat of mortality awareness by investing in a culturally derived system of beliefs (i.e., a cultural worldview) that imbues their life with a sense of meaning, order, and permanence. Furthermore, the cultural belief system provides prescriptions for valued behavior that allow the individual to obtain a sense of significance (i.e., self-esteem) within the cultural meaning system.”

Florida changed its COVID-19 death data just as surge began

Florida changed its COVID-19 death data just as surge began | Miami Herald: "If you chart deaths by Florida’s new method, based on date of death, it will generally appear — even during a spike like the present — that deaths are on a recent downslope. That’s because it takes time for deaths to be evaluated and death certificates processed. When those deaths finally are tallied, they are assigned to the actual date of death — creating a spike where there once existed a downslope and moving the downslope forward in time."

This Car Runs on Code - IEEE Spectrum

This Car Runs on Code - IEEE Spectrum: "The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, scheduled to become operational in 2010, will require about 5.7 million lines of code to operate its onboard systems. And Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner, scheduled to be delivered to customers in 2010, requires about 6.5 million lines of software code to operate its avionics and onboard support systems. These are impressive amounts of software, yet if you bought a premium-class automobile recently, ”it probably contains close to 100 million lines of software code,” Says Manfred Broy, a professor of informatics at Technical University, Munich, and a leading expert on software in cars. All that software executes on 70 to 100 microprocessor-based electronic control units (ECUs) networked throughout the body of your car."
