Racism is always a national issue in the US, and it's a major force in presidential elections.
But it plays out locally in all sorts of other ways; in communities, relationships, and individual lives.
Springfield's superintendent of schools is resigning after being recorded on an answering machine calling local black families scumbags, thieves, stupid, etc.
His targets included the high school principal and a school committee member.

Springfield superintendent resigns amid criticism over disparaging remarks made against an elected official | WBUR News
Springfield Superintendent Daniel Warwick has resigned following backlash over disparaging remarks he made about a member of the Springfield School Committee. The announcement came after a Thursday morning press conference at which the main target of the comments, Latonia Monroe Naylor, defended herself and her family.

Synthetic Programming Elicitation and Repair for Text-to-Code in Very Low-Resource Programming Languages
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) for code applications have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot fluency and instruction following on challenging code related tasks ranging from test case generation to self-repair. Unsurprisingly, however, models struggle to compose syntactically valid programs in programming languages unrepresented in pre-training, referred to as very low-resource Programming Languages (VLPLs). VLPLs appear in crucial settings including domain-specific languages fo…

Vermont Republican Party's own rules ban it from supporting Trump: report
Former President Donald Trump's status as a newly minted convicted felon may have created an awkward conundrum for the Vermont Republican Party, as the organization's own rules ban it from supporting felons for elective office.Last week, Trump became the first former American president to be convict...

Flying-cat parity checks for quantum error correction
Long range, multi-qubit parity checks have applications in both quantum error correction and measurement-based entanglement generation. Such parity checks could be performed using qubit-state-dependent phase shifts on propagating pulses of light described by coherent states $\vertα\rangle$ of the electromagnetic field. We consider "flying-cat" parity checks based on an entangling operation that is quantum non-demolition (QND) for Schrödinger's cat states $\vertα\rangle\pm \vert-α\rangle$. T…

Why recommended visit intervals should be extracted when conducting longitudinal analyses using electronic health record data: examining visit mechanism and sensitivity to assessment not at random
Electronic health records (EHRs) provide an efficient approach to generating rich longitudinal datasets. However, since patients visit as needed, the assessment times are typically irregular and may be related to the patient's health. Failing to account for this informative assessment process could result in biased estimates of the disease course. In this paper, we show how estimation of the disease trajectory can be enhanced by leveraging an underutilized piece of information that is often in …

Flowing plasma rearrangement in the presence of static perturbing fields
Charged particles interacting with electromagnetic waves have a portion of their energy tied up in wave-driven oscillations. When these waves are localized to the exhaust of linear magnetic confinement systems this ponderomotive effect can be utilized to enhance particle confinement. The same effect can be derived for particles moving via an $\mathbf{E} \times \mathbf{B}$ drift into a region of a static perturbation to the electromagnetic fields which has a large wave vector component in the di…

Tuning magnonic devices with on-chip permanent micromagnets
One of the most appealing features of magnonics is the easy tunability of spin-waves propagation via external magnetic fields. Usually this requires bulky and power-hungry electromagnets which are not compatible with device miniaturization. Here we propose a different approach, exploiting the stray field from permanent micromagnets integrated on the same chip of a magnonic wave-guide. In our monolithic device, we employ two SmCo square micromagnets (10x10 $μ$m$^2$) flanking a CoFeB conduit at …

El agitador ultra Alvise Pérez irrumpe en el Parlamento Europeo con tres escaños y 800.000 votos
La derecha se parte en tres. La candidatura del agitador ultra Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez irrumpe en el Parlamento Europeo con tres escaños cuando está escrutado el 99% de los votos. La agrupación de electores 'Se Acabó la Fiesta', que ha enarbolado un discurso antiinmigración y antifeminista y contra una supuesta “mafia” política y mediática, llega a Bruselas con el respaldo de más de 800.000 votos en sus primeras elecciones, el 4,6% del total. Durante la campaña, algunas encuestas…
