Large Language Models Discriminate Against Speakers of German Dialects
Dialects represent a significant component of human culture and are found across all regions of the world. In Germany, more than 40% of the population speaks a regional dialect (Adler and Hansen, 2022). However, despite cultural importance, individuals speaking dialects often face negative societal stereotypes. We examine whether such stereotypes are mirrored by large language models (LLMs). We draw on the sociolinguistic literature on dialect perception to analyze traits commonly associated wi…

A democratic nation actually can overcome deep polarization and division
and punish politicians who undermine democracy.
Just not the United States,
even though our leaders have spent decades beating their chests about the wonders of American democracy.
The Brazilian Supreme Court’s recent conviction of Jair Bolsonaro
on five charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2022 election results there and stay in power
is a great illustration that democrat…

Brazil Stopped Its Trump. It’s Pathetic that We Couldn’t Stop Ours.
Brazil barred Bolsonaro from running again and is sending him to jail. Other countries have done it, too. Why is the United States a unique failure?

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Its clear that Trump is effectively if not literally a Russian agent hell bent on destroying the USA...
"As president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO Chrissy Lynch said in July after the Republicans passed the budget reconciliation bill cutting clean energy tax credits: “Working families shouldn’t have to purchase energy from billionaire oil tycoons and foreign governments or let them set the price of our energy bills.”
Her observation hit home earlier this week, when Joe Wallace, Costas Paris, Alex Leary, and Collin Eaton of the Wall Street Journal reported that the comments of Russian president Vladimir Putin and Trump at their meeting in Alaska on August 15 in which they talked about doing more business together were not vague goodwill. ExxonMobil and Russia’s biggest energy company, Rosneft, have been in secret talks to resume a partnership to extract Russian oil, including in the Arctic, that had been severed by Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022."

Oxygen-driven altermagnetic symmetry inducing d-wave superconductivity in the cuprates and nickelates
Since the discovery of cuprate high-Tc superconductivity, numerous theoretical frameworks have been proposed; Anderson's RVB picture (Science 235, 1196-1198, 1987) and U(1) gauge theory (Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 503-506, 1996) motivate a minimal one-band view that largely integrates out oxygen. By contrast, altermagnetism (Phys. Rev. X 12, 040501, 2022) yields a d-wave-like k-space magnetic texture from alternatingly rotated nonmagnetic cages; La2CuO4 (the parent of a high-Tc cuprate) is a prototyp…

Probit Monotone BART
Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) of Chipman et al. (2010) has proven to be a powerful tool for nonparametric modeling and prediction. Monotone BART (Chipman et al., 2022) is a recent development that allows BART to be more precise in estimating monotonic functions. We further these developments by proposing probit monotone BART, which allows the monotone BART framework to estimate conditional mean functions when the outcome variable is binary.

The (3+1)-dimensional scalar field model analysis of beam spin asymmetry in the electroproduction of a scalar meson off a scalar target
We explore exclusive scalar meson electroproduction off a scalar target in the (3+1)-dimensional scalar field model. This model analysis is a straightforward extension of the previous (1+1)-dimensional model analysis presented in Phys. Rev. D \textbf{105}, 096014 (2022). In contrast to the (1+1)-dimensional model, the (3+1)-dimensional model allows us to compute the beam spin asymmetry (BSA), which is proportional to the imaginary part of the product of the two Compton form factors (CFFs) that …

We consider the hydrodynamic limits of the quantum Boltzmann equation with Fermi-Dirac statistics for hard sphere and hard potentials in the whole space. By analyzing the spectrum of the linearized collision operator combined with the transport operator and its associated semigroup, the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier limits from the BFD equation is verified rigorously. Compared to the results in [Jiang-Xiong-Zhou,J. Differ. Equ.,2022], this paper works with a lower regularity for the init…

"Study outlines steps for California to reach net-zero emissions by 2045"

Study outlines steps for California to reach net-zero emissions by 2045
A 2022 California law mandates net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and negative emissions every year thereafter. The state can achieve this but will have to act quickly and thoroughly, and success will require new technologies for sectors difficult to decarbonize, a new Stanford University study finds. The state will need to decarbonize not only cars and electricity but also trucks, trains, planes, agriculture, and factories, while slashing pollution from its oil refineries.

The “sticker range” advertised on the lot for our new 2019 Hyundai Kona EV was 420km.
The battery was replaced under recall at around 40,000km in 2022 a couple months before we went on an epic 12,000km Pacific-Atlantic-Pacifc cross Canada adventure.
Fast forward to today. The car is at 226,000km and I am headed 225km down to Victoria to bring my wife home from the Airport.
Car is ready. 100% charge. 468km on the rangeOmeter. That is city driving so I don’t expect to get that range at highway speeds. I’ll top it up in Sydney before heading home. This was always our main criteria. Can we drive to Victoria comfortably.
Yep. No problem. Even 200,000km later!
Range anxiety is a myth foisted on you by the oil industry. They are gas lighting the world into believing we are the problem, evs are the problem, electric systems are the problem.
They are the problem. Them. Not us. Them. They need to end.

Physical Thickness Characterization of the FRIB Production Targets
The FRIB heavy-ion accelerator, commissioned in 2022, is a leading facility for producing rare isotope beams (RIBs) and exploring nuclei beyond the limits of stability. These RIBs are produced via reactions between stable primary beams and a graphite target. Approximately 20-40 \% of the primary beam power is deposited in the target, requiring efficient thermal dissipation. Currently, FRIB operates with a primary beam power of up to 20 kW. To enhance thermal dissipation efficiency, …
