I present to you a study of the future that socialists want, and it's outcome: #Worker Cooperatives in Venezuela Under Chávez: Outcomes and Challenges Formation of Cooperatives During Chávez’s P...
LLM-based agent architectures systematically conflate information transport mechanisms with epistemic justification mechanisms. We formalize this class of architectural failures as semantic laundering: a pattern where propositions with absent or weak...
Most research on human-robot handovers focuses on the development of comfortable and efficient HRI; few have studied handover failures. If a failure occurs in the beginning of the interaction, it prevents the whole handover process and destroys trust...
Large language models have the potential to simplify formal theorem proving and make it more accessible. But how to get the most out of these models is still an open question. To answer this question, we take a step back and explore the failure cases...
Just bought this house a year ago and after an unforeseen leak, i discovered that when this basement was finished a few years ago, they encapsulated the main support beam. I doubt that it looked intac...
The resilience of electric power grids is threatened by natural hazards. Climate-related hazards are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. Statistical analyses clearly demonstrate a rise in the number of incidents (power failures)...
CARD is not itself a bank or a FDIC-insured institution and the FDIC's deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of a FDIC-insured institution.
Wireless communication highly depends on the cellular ground base station (GBS). A failure of the cellular GBS, fully or partially, during natural or man-made disasters creates a communication gap in the disaster-affected areas. In such situations, p...
This might be the wildest cybersecurity failure I've come across. A maternity hospital in Rajkot never changed the default CCTV password from "admin123" – and it led to one of the most disturbing pr...
Organ transplant is the essential treatment method for some end-stage diseases, such as liver failure. Analyzing the post-transplant cause of death (CoD) after organ transplant provides a powerful tool for clinical decision making, including personal...
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure patients. The predominant method used for kidney quality assessment is the Cox regression-based, kidney donor risk index. A machine learning method may provide improved predicti...
The failure in the Potomac Interceptor has released nearly a billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac river just inside the Beltway. It has been named the LARGEST spill of wastewater in U.S. his...
A new approach called RESID is proposed in this paper for estimating reliability of a software allowing for imperfect debugging. Unlike earlier approaches based on counting number of bugs or modelling inter-failure time gaps, RESID focuses on the pro...
In many dynamic robotic tasks, such as striking pucks into a goal outside the reachable workspace, the robot must first identify the relevant physical properties of the object for successful task execution, as it is unable to recover from failure or...
Media failures usually leave database systems unavailable for several hours until recovery is complete, especially in applications with large devices and high transaction volume. Previous work introduced a technique called single-pass restore, which...
Forecasting project expenses is a crucial step for businesses to avoid budget overruns and project failures. Traditionally, this has been done by financial analysts or data science techniques such as time-series analysis. However, these approaches ca...
Modern scientific workflows are data-driven and are often executed on distributed, heterogeneous, high-performance computing infrastructures. Anomalies and failures in the workflow execution cause loss of scientific productivity and inefficient use o...
Antiks follows two sibling ants, Joey and Boo. With an appetite for food, mischief, and minuscule levels of mass-destruction. For Joey & Boo, failure is not an option… it’s mandatory! When you’re...
