Quarterback class from 2021 NFL Draft hasn't given teams much of a return
The New England Patriots agreeing to trade quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday for a sixth-round pick was another harsh reminder as to how difficult it can be to evaluate young quarterbacks entering the NFL.  Several teams are finding that out this offseason, including several of which that attempted to pick a quarterback in the 2021 class. The 2021 class saw five quarterbacks get picked within the top-15 picks, and it is possible — if not likely — that only one of …

Selecting the Most Conflicting Pair of Candidates
We study committee elections from a perspective of finding the most conflicting candidates, that is, candidates that imply the largest amount of conflict, as per voter preferences. By proposing basic axioms to capture this objective, we show that none of the prominent multiwinner voting rules meet them. Consequently, we design committee voting rules compliant with our desiderata, introducing conflictual voting rules. A subsequent deepened analysis sheds more light on how they operate. Our inves…

Abstract: The goal of inductive program synthesis is for a machine to automatically generate a program from user-supplied examples of the desired behaviour of the program. A key underlying assumption is that humans can provide examples of sufficient quality to teach a concept to a machine. However, as far as we are aware, this assumption lacks both empirical and theoretical support. To address this limitation, we explore the question `Can humans teach machines to code?'. To answer this question, we conduct a study where we ask humans to generate examples for six programming tasks, such as finding the maximum element of a list. We compare the performance of a program synthesis system trained on (i) human-provided examples, (ii) randomly sampled examples, and (iii) expert-provided examples. Our results show that, on most of the tasks, non-expert participants did not provide sufficient examples for a program synthesis system to learn an accurate program. Our results also show that non-experts need to provide more examples than both randomly sampled and expert-provided examples.

Abstract: Flat bands and Dirac cones in materials are at the source of the exotic electronic and topological properties. The Lieb lattice is expected to host these electronic structures, arising from quantum destructive interference. Nevertheless, the experimental realization of a two-dimensional Lieb lattice remained challenging to date due to its intrinsic structural instability. After computationally designing a Platinum-Phosphorus (Pt-P) Lieb lattice, we have successfully overcome its structural instability and synthesized it on a gold substrate via molecular beam epitaxy. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy verified the Lieb lattice's morphology and electronic flat bands. Furthermore, topological Dirac edge states stemming from pronounced spin-orbit coupling induced by heavy Pt atoms have been predicted. These findings convincingly open perspectives for creating metal-inorganic framework-based atomic lattices, offering prospects for strongly correlated phases interplayed with topology.

Richard Lewis has done so many hilarious things. He also did THE WRONG GUYS with Franklin Ajaye, Richard Belzer, Tim Thomerson, and Louie Anderson. I have great childhood fondness for this terrible movie.
RIP Richard, Louie and Belz
It needs an HD release.

The Wrong Guys
Five former cub scouts have a reunion and go camping on the mountain they never conquered. High jinks ensue due to their childhood enemies and a group of escaped convicts who mistake them for an FBI unit.

Memory loss is contagious in open quantum systems
Memoryless (Markovian) system-bath interactions are of fundamental interest in physics. While typically the absence of memory originates from the characteristics of the bath, here we demonstrate that it can result from the system becoming lossy due to the Markovian interaction with a second bath. This suggests that the property of Markovianity is ``contagious'', i.e., it can be transferred from one bath to another through the system with which they both interact. We introduce a Bloch-Redfield-i…

A Containerized Microservice Architecture for a ROS 2 Autonomous Driving Software: An End-to-End Latency Evaluation
The automotive industry is transitioning from traditional ECU-based systems to software-defined vehicles. A central role of this revolution is played by containers, lightweight virtualization technologies that enable the flexible consolidation of complex software applications on a common hardware platform. Despite their widespread adoption, the impact of containerization on fundamental real-time metrics such as end-to-end latency, communication jitter, as well as memory and CPU utilization has …
