Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Lessons from the void: What Boltzmann brains teach
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Some physical theories predict that almost all brains in the universe are Boltzmann brains, that is, short‐lived disembodied brains that are accidentally assembled as a result of thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. Physicists and philosophers of physics widely regard this proliferation as unacceptable, and so take its prediction as a basis ...

Newest Measurements of Hubble Constant from DESI 2024 Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Observations
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn this Letter, we use the latest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey to measure the Hubble constant. Baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) observations released by the DESI survey, allow us to determine H _0 from the first ...

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Weather variability and shocks pose significant challenges for tropical developing countries, making it crucial to understand their effects on consumption to address the existing deficiencies among the most vulnerable groups. This study examines the impact of weather variability and shocks on household consumption in Panama, utilizing repeated

The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn this Letter, we propose a model-independent method to determine the Hubble constant and curvature simultaneously by taking advantage of the possibilities of future spaceborne gravitational-wave detector DECIGO in combination with the radio quasars as ...
