Investigation of nonlinear dipole cross sections
The nonlinear corrections to the Golec-Biernat Wusthoff (GBW) and Bartels- Golec- Kowalski (BGK) models, as discussed by Peredo-Hentschinski [M.A.Peredo and M.Hentschinski, Phys.Rev.D{109}, 014032 (2024)], are analyzed in terms of the gluon density$^{,}$s nonlinear behavior. We incorporate these nonlinear corrections into the low $x$ gluon distribution of the modified BGK model for electron-ion colliders. By verifying that these results allow for a more direct assessment of the relevance of non…

Documenting Patterns of Exoticism of Marginalized Populations within Text-to-Image Generators
A significant majority of AI fairness research studying the harmful outcomes of GAI tools have overlooked non-Western communities and contexts, necessitating a stronger coverage in this vein. We extend our previous work on exoticism (Ghosh et al., 2024) of 'Global South' countries from across the world, as depicted by GAI tools.

Re-optimization of a deep neural network model for electron-carbon scattering using new experimental data
We present an updated deep neural network model for inclusive electron-carbon scattering. Using the bootstrap model [Phys.Rev.C 110 (2024) 2, 025501] as a prior, we incorporate recent experimental data, as well as older measurements in the deep inelastic scattering region, to derive a re-optimized posterior model. We examine the impact of these new inputs on model predictions and associated uncertainties. Finally, we evaluate the resulting cross-section predictions in the kinematic range releva…

Control of lumen morphology by lateral and basal cell surfaces
Across development, the morphology of fluid-filled lumina enclosed by epithelial tissues arises from an interplay of lumen pressure, mechanics of the cell cortex, and cell-cell adhesion. Here, we explore the mechanical basis for the control of this interplay using the shape space of MDCK cysts and the instability of their apical surfaces under tight junction perturbations [Mukenhirn et al., Dev. Cell 59, 2886 (2024)]. We discover that the cysts respond to these perturbations by significantly mo…

SPARSE-PIVOT: Dynamic correlation clustering for node insertions
We present a new Correlation Clustering algorithm for a dynamic setting where nodes are added one at a time. In this model, proposed by Cohen-Addad, Lattanzi, Maggiori, and Parotsidis (ICML 2024), the algorithm uses database queries to access the input graph and updates the clustering as each new node is added. Our algorithm has the amortized update time of $O_ε(\log^{O(1)}(n))$. Its approximation factor is $20+\varepsilon$, which is a substantial improvement over the approximation factor of t…

On the $l_\infty$-analog of Algebraic Connectivity
The algebraic connectivity $a(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix $L(G)$. It also admits a variational characterization as the minimum of a quadratic form associated with $L(G)$, subject to $l_2$-norm constraints. In 2024, Andrade and Dahl investigated an analogous parameter $γ(G)$, defined using the $l_\infty$-norm instead of the $l_2$-norm. They demonstrated that $γ(G)$ can be computed in polynomial time using linear programming. In this a…

Large SEPs can cause adverse space weather hazard to humans technology and such events are especially associated with halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs). But in turn, a significant portion of halo-CMEs are not associated with large SEPs. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the source region distinctions between halo-CMEs in SEP and No-SEP events. Among the 176 halo-CMEs observed from 2010-2024, we screen out 45 large SEP events and 131 No-SEP events from this dataset. It …

The Radius, Composition, Albedo, and Absolute Magnitude of Planet Nine Based on Exoplanets with Teq less than 600 K and the Planet Nine Reference Population 3.0
Evidence suggests the existence of a large planet in the outer Solar System, Planet Nine, with a predicted mass of 6.6 +2.6 / -1.7 Earth masses (Brown et al., 2024). Based on mass radius composition models, planet formation theory, and confirmed exoplanets with low mass and radius uncertainty and equilibrium temperature less than 600 K, we determine the most likely composition for Planet Nine is a mini-Neptune with a radius in the range 2.0 to 2.6 Earth radii and a H-He envelope fraction in the…

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. If you hash it thoroughly, consumers that only cache hashes to optimize equality checks lose out of performance.

In 2024, Aricheta and Donato studied the minimal excludant of the non-overlined parts of an overpartition, where an overpartition of $n$ is a partition of $n$ in which the first occurrence of a number may be overlined.

Recent work has shown that a hexagonal grid qubit layout, with only three couplers per qubit, is sufficient to implement the surface code with performance comparable to that of a traditional four-coupler layout [McEwen et al., 2023]. In this work we propose a method for handling broken qubits and couplers even in hex-grid surface code architectures, using an extension of the LUCI framework [Debroy et al., 2024]. We show that for isolated broken qubits, the circuit distance drops by one, while f…

And if you're wondering what happened to those three Fast Cats.
In January 2024 someone tried to get someone to buy them by putting them up on Facebook Marketplace (yep!) for $15 Million for all three. (98% off original price lol). They were, and likely still are, sitting tied up in Alexandria, Egypt. They were last owned by the Egyptian Government.
At least one of them was essentially unchanged inside since the 1990s. (a Nanaimo Bar for $1.5!)

Who is using AI to code? Global diffusion and impact of generative AI
Generative coding tools promise big productivity gains, but uneven uptake could widen skill and income gaps. We train a neural classifier to spot AI-generated Python functions in 80 million GitHub commits (2018-2024) by 200,000 developers and track how fast--and where--these tools take hold. By December 2024, AI wrote an estimated 30.1% of Python functions from U.S. contributors, versus 24.3% in Germany, 23.2% in France, 21.6% in India, 15.4% in Russia and 11.7% in China.

Subjective Experience in AI Systems: What Do AI Researchers and the Public Believe?
We surveyed 582 AI researchers who have published in leading AI venues and 838 nationally representative US participants about their views on the potential development of AI systems with subjective experience and how such systems should be treated and governed. When asked to estimate the chances that such systems will exist on specific dates, the median responses were 1% (AI researchers) and 5% (public) by 2024, 25% and 30% by 2034, and 70% and 60% by 2100, respectively. The median member of th…
