Yesterday, I learned that Martin Volk, Professor of Computational Linguistics at UZH, passed away on Monday, September 15, at the age of 64. What devastating news 😢

Generalized Quasispecies Model with Time Delays and Periodic Fluctuations in Replication
In this research, we present a generalized quasispecies model in which population growth is governed by an arbitrary nonlinear function incorporating time delays. We begin by demonstrating that, under the constant population constraint, the dynamics of the system with time delays remain confined to the invariant manifold for both forward and backward time evolution. Furthermore, we establish that in this modified quasispecies model, defined on a single-peak fitness landscape, in the presence of…

Mapping the SO2 Shoreline in Gas Giant Exoplanets
JWST has revealed sulfur chemistry in giant exoplanet atmospheres, where molecules such as SO2 trace photochemistry, metallicity, and formation and migration. To ascertain the conditions that determine whether (or how much) SO2, H2S, and other sulfur-bearing species are present in exoplanet atmospheres, we present a grid of planetary atmospheres covering metallicities from 0.3-1000x Solar and temperatures from 250-2050 K. These models map out the 'SO2 shoreline,' the region of metallicity and i…

"The understanding that the total supremacy of the “data” discourse was always a problematic, neoliberal way of seeing and structuring the world, of legitimizing violence according to the needs of those in power."

The "Data" Narrative eats itself
“The first model fakes the data, then the second model trains on the fake data. Any problems in the synthetic data set are amplified further. Then the second model — based on fake data — is used to treat real patients. This is, of course, all fine.” Today I want to take David Gerard’s recent […]

"Die eigenen Bedürfnisse ehrlich zu kommunizieren, schön und gut, [...] aber davon auszugehen, dass enge Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen keine Solidarität, kein Engagement und hin und wieder Aufopferung brauchen, ist nicht nur illusorisch, sondern auch Ausdruck neoliberaler Individualisierung."

Considerado uno de los mejores bateristas en la historia del rock, hoy habría cumplido 73 años Neil Peart, el encargado de ponerle letras a gran parte de la música de Rush, quien nació el 12 de septiembre de 1952.
