I've enjoyed Michael Madsen in films ever since I first saw Reservoir Dogs, probably when I was 13 or 14, right after it came out. And then in Species, Sin City, Kill Bill- and the most recent Madsen thing I've seen, The Hateful Eight, from 10 years ago. And he was in 8 movies last year, and 4 still upcoming! Truly one of our time's greatest actors, and amazing right up to the end. He'll be missed. RIP

Two Tiling is Undecidable

Two Tiling is Undecidable
We show that the following problem is undecidable: given two polygonal prototiles, determine whether the plane can be tiled with rotated and translated copies of them. This improves a result of Demaine and Langerman [SoCG 2025], who showed undecidability for three tiles. Along the way, we show that tiling with one prototile is undecidable if there can be edge-to-edge matching rules. This is the first result to show undecidability for monotiling with only local matching constraints.

Continued Rapid Radio Brightening of the Tidal Disruption Event AT2018hyz
We present ongoing radio observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018hyz, which was first detected in the radio at 972 days after disruption, following multiple non-detections from earlier searches. The new observations presented here span approximately 1370-2160 days and 0.88-240 GHz. We find that the light curves continue to rise at all frequencies during this time period, following a power law of about F ~ t^3 (compared to F_nu ~ t^5.7 at 972-1400 days), and reaching a peak lumino…

Filter Equivariant Functions: A symmetric account of length-general extrapolation on lists
What should a function that extrapolates beyond known input/output examples look like? This is a tricky question to answer in general, as any function matching the outputs on those examples can in principle be a correct extrapolant. We argue that a "good" extrapolant should follow certain kinds of rules, and here we study a particularly appealing criterion for rule-following in list functions: that the function should behave predictably even when certain elements are removed. In functional prog…

They've always had the best name and now they're the best team, too. Congratulations to the YDS soccer team the Paracleats, the newly crowned champions of the Yale grad schools IM soccer league! The Paracleats beat the School of Management 4-1 in Sunday's championship game following their 5-1 thrashing of Medicine in the semifinal.

Reliability of Capacitive Read in Arrays of Ferroelectric Capacitors
The non-destructive capacitance read-out of ferroelectric capacitors (FeCaps) based on doped HfO$_2$ metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) structures offers the potential for low-power and highly scalable crossbar arrays. This is due to a number of factors, including the selector-less design, the absence of sneak paths, the power-efficient charge-based read operation, and the reduced IR drop. Nevertheless, a reliable capacitive readout presents certain challenges, particularly in regard to device var…

We accidentally wore a matching outfit for the first session of a new campaign.

Geometry-Dependent Adhesion in Transparent, Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Elastomeric pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) form adhesive bonds under light pressure. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are exciting PSA candidates as they can impart both anisotropy and temperature-dependence to adhesion, but the full potential of their anisotropic adhesion is unexplored. Here, identical side-chain LCEs, produced as transparent isotropic or nematic films are investigated; the latter aligned in homeotropic or planar geometries. Their room-temperature adhesion, determined thr…

Investigating MAXI J1752$-$457 with NuSTAR in the aftermath of a superburst
We present two NuSTAR observations of the X-ray transient, MAXI J1752$-$457, following a superburst which was observed by MAXI/GSC in November, 2024. NuSTAR follow-up confirmed that MAXI J1752$-$457 is coincident with the previously observed Einstein Probe source, EP240809a. We performed a spectral analysis of the source during both NuSTAR observations, and we confirm that the hard X-ray spectra are consistent with the inclusion of a spherical blackbody component. At about 79 hours after the on…
