External charged debris in a flowing plasma : charge fluctuation induced complexity
In this work, we investigate the response of a flowing e-i plasma to embedded external charged debris, focusing on the periodic debris charge fluctuations that can trigger complex phenomena such as chaos and nonlinear Landau damping. We employ both kinetic and fluid simulations to analyse the plasma response to the time-dependent debris charge. Our findings indicate that the nature of the nonlinear response can be considerably different for fluctuating positively charged external debris from ne…

Mechanisms to Verify International Agreements About AI Development
International agreements about AI development may be required to reduce catastrophic risks from advanced AI systems. However, agreements about such a high-stakes technology must be backed by verification mechanisms--processes or tools that give one party greater confidence that another is following the agreed-upon rules, typically by detecting violations. This report gives an overview of potential verification approaches for three example policy goals, aiming to demonstrate how countries could …

NFL preseason trade tracker: Every move leading up to the 2025 season https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45786920/2025-nfl-preseason-trades-news-deals-takeaways-rumors

a good, but depressing read... this Australian scrubbed his blog reporting on the Columbia student protests before flying to the US, but they'd already saved the posts, possibly triggered by his ESTA application or him being on a list from a far-right pro-Israel org.

EduThink4AI: Translating Educational Critical Thinking into Multi-Agent LLM Systems
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential as educational tutoring agents, capable of tailoring hints, orchestrating lessons, and grading with near-human finesse across various academic domains. However, current LLM-based educational systems exhibit critical limitations in promoting genuine critical thinking, failing on over one-third of multi-hop questions with counterfactual premises, and remaining vulnerable to adversarial prompts that trigger biased or factually in…
