“Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years” https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/
Ouch. It really hits the nail on the head for a lot of Rust's weaknesses as a language and community, and not just in gamedev.
I wonder if a lot of the borrow woes could be s…

"When that old order fell, it took the form of a well-earned landslide, and a clear step towards something genuinely new. After a decade and a half, the Bute House Agreement breathed new life into those fading hopes. Now it seems more likely that real change will come crawling out of a tomb, in a faded red rosette"

Scotland’s old order plots a restoration
In 1985, Neal Ascherson compared the different attitudes which the English and the Scots have to their national histories. When the English think of their past, he argued, they “are gazing from the te

Collaborative Active Learning in Conditional Trust Environment
In this paper, we investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models. Instead, the collaborators share prediction results from the new domain and newly acquired labels. This collaboration offers several advantages: (a) it addresses privacy and security concerns by eliminating the need for direct model and data disclosure; (b) it ena…

Resisting high-energy impact events through gap engineering in superconducting qubit arrays
Quantum error correction (QEC) provides a practical path to fault-tolerant quantum computing through scaling to large qubit numbers, assuming that physical errors are sufficiently uncorrelated in time and space. In superconducting qubit arrays, high-energy impact events produce correlated errors, violating this key assumption. Following such an event, phonons with energy above the superconducting gap propagate throughout the device substrate, which in turn generate a temporary surge in quasipar…

Duality between Seiberg-Witten Theory and Black Hole Superradiance
The newly established Seiberg-Witten (SW)/Quasinormal Modes (QNM) correspondence offers an efficient analytical approach to calculate the QNM frequencies, which was only available numerically before. This is based on the fact that both sides are characterized by Heun-type equations. We find that a similar duality exists between Seiberg-Witten theory and black hole superradiance, since the latter can also be linked to confluent Heun equation after proper transformation. Then a dictionary is cons…
