Inspiring #TNC24 Opening Keynote this morning from Paul Iske (Maastricht University, Institute of Brilliant Failures).
“Failing is not only inevitable, but also an essential learning process. Why do projects fail? Are there underlying patterns? The Institute of Brilliant Failures recognised a method involving 16 archetypes and tools to extract lessons learned and allow us to develop ‘Failure In…

Note on the asymptotic of the auxiliary function
To define an explicit regions without zeros of $\mathop{\mathcal R}(s)$, in a previous paper we obtained an approximation to $\mathop{\mathcal R}(s)$ of type $f(s)(1+U)$ with $|U|< 1$. But this $U$ do not tend to zero when $t\to+\infty$. In the present paper we get an approximation of the form $f(s)(1+o(t))$. We precise here Siegel's result, following his reasoning. This is essential to get the last Theorems in Siegel's paper about $\mathop{\mathcal R}(s)$.

Mode-Coupling-Driven Frequency Stabilization in Semiconductor Lasers with Bragg Grating Waveguide
Precisely stabilizing laser frequency is crucial for advancing laser technology and unlocking the full potential of various quantum technologies. Here, we propose a compact device for stabilizing frequency of a semiconductor laser through mode coupling effects, which provides enhanced sensitivity. Our proposed architecture features a main ridge waveguide with a Bragg grating, flanked by two curved ridge waveguides. This configuration exhibits an optical phenomenon characterized by a transmissio…

Human Learning about AI Performance

Human Learning about AI Performance
How do humans assess the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across different tasks? AI has been noted for its surprising ability to accomplish very complex tasks while failing seemingly trivial ones. We show that humans engage in ``performance anthropomorphism'' when assessing AI capabilities: they project onto AI the ability model that they use to assess humans. In this model, observing an agent fail an easy task is highly diagnostic of a low ability, making them unlikely to succeed a…

Photoemission Spectroscopy on photoresist materials: A protocol for analysis of radiation sensitive materials
Device architectures and dimensions are now at an unimaginable level not thought possible even 10 years ago. The continued downscaling, following the so-called Moore's law, has motivated the development and use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography scanners with specialized photoresists. Since the quality and precision of the transferred circuit pattern is determined by the EUV induced chemical changes in the photoresist, having a deep understanding of these chemical changes is of pivotal im…

Autism spectrum, feelings and (against all odds) a Witcher quote
"""
[…] Because you're a witcher and you can't feel any emotion. You don't want to fulfill my request, because you think that you care about her, you think that… Geralt, you are with her only because she wants that, and you'll be with her for as long as she wants to. What you're feeling is a projection of her emotion, her interest in you. To all demons of the Pit, Geralt, you're not a child, you know who you are. You're a mutant. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying this to offend or disdain you. I'm just stating a fact. You're a mutant, and one of the basic features of your mutation is your full immunity to emotion. You've been made like this so that you could do your job. Do you understand? You can't feel anything. What you're taking as emotion is actually cell memory, somatic memory, if you know what that means.
"""
(Andrzej Sapkowski, Miecz przeznaczenia, Okruch lodu, Istredd's words, my own translation)
However the context is different, it made me think of my own problems with emotions.
Am I capable of love? Or perhaps I can merely project somebody else's feelings, return them at the best. Or perhaps just intellectually be aware of what I am supposed to feel.
Was perhaps that, what I used to take for "love", actually gratitude that somebody was nice to me, or that she showed interest?
Or perhaps was it that she fitted into an unrealistic model that I've engraved into my personality as a child?
Or just an attachment, a feeling of safety, stemming from a large data set. A conviction that unpleasant surprise is no longer that likely.
Or just desperation, a need that's been forced into me since I was a child and that now I'm trying to attain based on what the media, books and personal stories tell me about it.
Or even something resembling a Stockholm syndrome. "At least she's paying attention to me. I know the worst she could do to me."
