Good Vibrations? A Qualitative Study of Co-Creation, Communication, Flow, and Trust in Vibe Coding
Vibe coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, has quickly become a compelling and controversial natural language programming paradigm in AI-assisted software development. Centered on iterative co-design with an AI assistant, vibe coding emphasizes flow and experimentation over strict upfront specification. While initial studies have begun to explore this paradigm, most focus on analyzing code artifacts or proposing theories with limited empirical backing. There remains a need …

In 1998 Tim Berners-Lee coined the term cool URIs [-@https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI], that is URIs that don’t change. We know that URLs referenced in the scholarly literature are often not cool, leading […]

Classification of coined quantum walks on the line and comparison to correlated classical random walks
We present a comprehensive classification of one-dimensional coined quantum walks on the infinite line, focusing on the spatial probability distributions they induce. Building on prior results, we identify all initial coin states that lead to symmetric quantum walks for arbitrary coins, and provide a bijective parametrisation of all symmetric quantum walks modulo distributional equivalence. Extending beyond the symmetric case, we also give a surjective parametrisation of all coined quantum walk…

Isolate Trigger: Detecting and Eradicating Evade-Adaptive Backdoors
All current detection of backdoor attacks on deep learning models fall under the category of a non essential features(NEF), which focus on fighting against simple and efficient vertical class backdoor -- trigger is small, few and not overlapping with the source. Evade-adaptive backdoor (EAB) attacks have evaded NEF detection and improved training efficiency. We introduces a precise, efficient and universal detection and defense framework coined as Isolate Trigger (IsTr). IsTr aims to find the h…

Kernel-based Greedy Approximation of Parametric Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
We recently introduced a scale of kernel-based greedy schemes for approximating the solutions of elliptic boundary value problems. The procedure is based on a generalized interpolation framework in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and was coined PDE-$β$-greedy procedure, where the parameter $β\geq 0$ is used in a greedy selection criterion and steers the degree of function adaptivity. Algebraic convergence rates have been obtained for Sobolev-space kernels and solutions of finite smoothness.…

LangScene-X: Reconstruct Generalizable 3D Language-Embedded Scenes with TriMap Video Diffusion
Recovering 3D structures with open-vocabulary scene understanding from 2D images is a fundamental but daunting task. Recent developments have achieved this by performing per-scene optimization with embedded language information. However, they heavily rely on the calibrated dense-view reconstruction paradigm, thereby suffering from severe rendering artifacts and implausible semantic synthesis when limited views are available. In this paper, we introduce a novel generative framework, coined LangS…

Thanks to @…, TIL the word “petrichor!” More from Wikipedia:
❝Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪkɔːr/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word was coined by Isabel Joy Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock' or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone' and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.❞
Heh, “god-blood of stones.” Completely unnecessary levels of linguistic badassery. I approve wholeheartedly. https://infosec.town/notes/aag9xttylpw0a9p8

TIL that gerrymandering should be pronounced with a hard g.
(It was a term coined in a newspaper in 1812 combining a name Gerry - the governor - and salamander, which one district resembled.)

I wrote about frictionlessness and "AI". The essay is admittedly a bit of a weird ride trying to connect a few very distinct thoughts. I hope it's still worth reading.

Friction and not being touched
The journalist Karen Hao – who published an absolutely fantastic book about OpenAI called “Empire of AI” recently – coined (as far as I know) one of the best terms for describing modern “AI” systems: Everything Machines. “AI” systems are not framed as specific tools that solve specific problems in specific ways but just as […]

We all perform tasks in our day-to-day work that are considered 'non-promotable' – these are crucial for project success, but they won't get you promoted. This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly. At Berlin Buzzwords 2025, Fatima Taj shared her personal experience of narrowly avoiding the trap of being permanently stuck with glue work and explained how to handle similar situations.

Toward 48 dB Spin Squeezing and 96 dB Signal Magnification for Cosmic Relic Searches with Nuclear Spins
We recently showed that macroscopic nuclear spin ensembles prepared in coherent spin states can dramatically enhance the interaction rates of weakly interacting cosmic relics-such as dark matter and the cosmic neutrino background-through collective quantum effects analogous to Dicke superradiance, where the de-excitation and excitation rates scale as the square of the number of spins, $N^2$. We thus coined these processes superradiant interactions. In this paper, we propose a protocol to realiz…
