From new physics to a running power law and back again: Minimal refitting techniques for the reconstruction of the gravitational-wave background signal in pulsar timing array data
Pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently presented evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) signal at nanohertz frequencies. In this paper, we introduce new refitting techniques for PTA data analysis that elevate related techniques in the literature to a more rigorous level and thus provide the basis for fast and accurate Bayesian inference and physically intuitive model comparisons. The key idea behind our approach is to construct maps Φfrom GWB spectral models to a running…

This is of course very bad, but I also found it funny. AI evangelists are suddenly privacy-aware and repeating this as a security risk. And it is. But the idea that using ChatGPT itself hasn’t always been a security risk is ridiculous to me.

TLDR: If you’ve ever used the share function on a ChatGPT chat, that full chat can be found via Google, viewable for anyone in the world.

Finished "Blankets" by Craig Thompson, yet another riveting graphic memoir dealing with child abuse and Christianity (mostly separately). It's got pain but also beauty, and (somewhat obviously for a memoir) a non-tragic ending.

A Detailed Factor Analysis for the Political Compass Test: Navigating Ideologies of Large Language Models
Political Compass Test (PCT) or similar questionnaires have been used to quantify LLM's political leanings. Building on a recent line of work that examines the validity of PCT tests, we demonstrate that variation in standard generation parameters does not significantly impact the models' PCT scores. However, external factors such as prompt variations and fine-tuning individually and in combination affect the same. Finally, we demonstrate that when models are fine-tuned on text datasets with hig…
