psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?

All Models Are Wrong, But Can They Be Useful? Lessons from COVID-19 Agent-Based Models: A Systematic Review
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a surge in computational models to simulate disease dynamics and guide interventions. Agent-based models (ABMs) are well-suited to capture population and environmental heterogeneity, but their rapid deployment raised questions about utility for health policy. We systematically reviewed 536 COVID-19 ABM studies published from January 2020 to December 2023, retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, and Wiley on January 30, 2024. Studies were included if they used ABMs …

The propaganda is so wild. When I was younger, they'd lie about things 20-30 years prior, with the assumption that people will have forgotten. Now they are constantly attempting to rewrite history that happened a mere 5 years ago, thinking that they're slick.
To quote Orwell: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Municipal Social Housing: Learning from Seattle's Win
Two DSA SF backed ballot props in 2020 were meant to enable and fund social housing, but mayoral opposition has blocked the funds being spent for that purpose. Seattle's victory offers a lesson in how we might beat that blockage. In February, Seattle's House Our Neighbors passed a ballot proposition with dedicated funds for a social housing developer. The campaign won by 26 points over opposition from Seattle's mayor and most of their city council. Join us for a conversation with Seattle orga…

Absence of eigenvalues of electromagnetic Dirac operators
In this work, we develop the method of multipliers for electromagnetic Dirac operators and establish sufficient conditions on the magnetic and electric fields that guarantee the absence of point spectrum. Our results can be viewed as a generalization of those obtained by Cossetti, Fanelli and Krejčiřík (2020), which treated the purely magnetic case. We also emphasize that, in the massless case, our approach covers Coulomb-type potentials of the form $V(x) = \frac{1}{|x|} \big(ν\ma…
