Microscopic calculation of two-particle-two-hole meson-exchange currents in $^{40}$Ar and asymmetric scaling properties for neutrino and electron scattering

Microscopic calculation of two-particle-two-hole meson-exchange currents in $^{40}$Ar and asymmetric scaling properties for neutrino and electron scattering
We present a microscopic calculation of two particle-two hole meson exchange current response functions in asymmetric nuclei, with particular emphasis on the $^{40}$Ar nucleus. Employing a relativistic mean-field and relativistic Fermi gas framework, we compute the nuclear response for $^{40}$Ar and compare it with that of the symmetric $^{40}$Ca nucleus, analyzing the role of proton-neutron imbalance. The model incorporates distinct proton and neutron Fermi momenta to accurately capture the nu…

Sensible Agent: A Framework for Unobtrusive Interaction with Proactive AR Agents
Proactive AR agents promise context-aware assistance, but their interactions often rely on explicit voice prompts or responses, which can be disruptive or socially awkward. We introduce Sensible Agent, a framework designed for unobtrusive interaction with these proactive agents. Sensible Agent dynamically adapts both "what" assistance to offer and, crucially, "how" to deliver it, based on real-time multimodal context sensing.

Whisfusion: Parallel ASR Decoding via a Diffusion Transformer
Fast Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is critical for latency-sensitive applications such as real-time captioning and meeting transcription. However, truly parallel ASR decoding remains challenging due to the sequential nature of autoregressive (AR) decoders and the context limitations of non-autoregressive (NAR) methods. While modern ASR encoders can process up to 30 seconds of audio at once, AR decoders still generate tokens sequentially, creating a latency bottleneck. We propose Whisfusion…

When solidarity becomes spectacle
Francesca Albanese’s visit to South Africa exposed a truth we prefer not to face: that our moral witness has hardened into ritual. We watch, we clap, we call it solidarity.

Mohammed has badly burned his leg with boiling water while making coffee.
(I’ve seen photos without the bandages and it is bad.)
Please help with his fundraiser as he will need additional funds as he recovers:

No shelter, no safety - Help Mohammed survive genocide in Gaza
My name is Thomas and I live in France and in the UK. I'm hosting Mohammed's campaign because Palestinians cannot host their own campaigns. If you've got any questions or if you'd like any proofs, I'm happy to provide you with these. Please support! Peace ✌️

Both @… and @… are being displaced yet again and forced to move South as Israel continues its genocide and wholesale destruction of Gaza with the complicity of our inhumane governments in the West.
Please keep them in your th…

“Humanitarian zone” my ass.
Israel has forfeited the right to claim any moral position related to humanity given they lack it entirely. Oops, it”s kinda what happens when you commit genocide. (You know Israel is committing genocide, right? Do you live under a rock? Are you a genocide apologist and thus complicit in genocide? No. OK, so you know that Israel is committing genocide.)

Folks, just a quick heads up: I’m in touch over Signal with Mahmoud from the “Help Mahmoud Family” accounts you might have seen contacting you.
Like you, I was hugely suspicious of them due to the many accounts and automated spam-like messages (I also reported and had one of them taken down as a scam).
It’s looking to me now like this was more of a misguided (and understandably, given the circumstances) desperate attempt to get help.
I ask that we keep an open mind and offe…

Wow, just learned that NDC Conference deleted the recording of my 2014 opening keynote, A Happy Grain of Sand.
They didn’t have downloads enabled on their Vimeo site and they just told me they don’t keep backups of the talks.
What a dick move.
If you’re speaking for them, make sure you back up your talk videos.
Asshats.

War Criminal Dick Cheney Dead at 84, With Blood of Millions on His Hands
Cheney’s legacy more than outlives him; he reshaped the very structures of war and authoritarianism at home and abroad.

Guess who misremembered having 25 seconds per slide and instead has 15 seconds per slide on Monday?
FML! :)
Goodness, I hate formalistic presentation styles like Ignite. But don’t worry, I’m breaking the form three times in the talk – including starting with a minute of silence for Gaza (that’s four black slides and 1/5th of the 5-minute talk), a transition (ok, it’s a 15-second transition, but still), and a live demo (yep) – and using that to demonstrate the case that we do not …

In case anyone needs a laugh tonight, here’s me wearing a chicken hat.
You’re welcome.
(There are some stores I clearly should not be allowed in.)

The account at https://troet.cafe/@m7moodfamily (@m7moodfamily@troet.cafe) is a scam. It’s got hundreds of posts even though it joined yesterday and it links to gaza-verified.org even though we have not verified it.
I’m also seeing copies of the account on troet.cafe and elsewhere. Be careful with any a…

@m7moudfamily@troet.cafe @… Hi, I am seeing lots of accounts for the same fundraiser on many servers. One of them – with hundreds of posts even though it joined a day ago – even linked to gaza-verified.org.
I don’t know which, if any, is the real one or whether there is a real one.
If you want to video chat with me and Joy from Gaza on Signal we can a…

Blue Bird Bar: We are henceforth known as Nazi Central.
Folks: See you all at Blue Bird Bar tonight!
Nazi Central: We said we’re Nazi Central now! We’re literally fascists!
Folks: Ah, Blue Bird Bar, it’s so lovely here… why would anyone ever want to leave?

“The gates of hell are now opening” – who said it best, Satan or the Israeli defense minister?
To the morally-vacuous West: these are the monsters you call your friends and allies. Hang your heads in shame, you decaying husks of humanity. This is your genocide every bit as much as Israel’s. And it will haunt you forever.
