Mamdani follows in AOC’s footsteps,
having defeated an entrenched figure of the establishment with grassroots progressive support.
So this was a sweet moment.
Mamdani has received supportive words from both Senator Chuck Schumer…
And Governor Kathy Hochul…
Hopefully, formal endorsements are forthcoming.
An unintended, but hopeful consequence of Mamdani’s win is that, at 33 years old, he has inspired other young people to want to run for office themselves.…

Disentangling scientific realism from anti-exceptionalism
Scientific realism is, currently, one of the most well-entrenched background assumptions of some relevant versions of anti-exceptionalism about logic. We argue that this is a sort of sociological contingency rather than a metaphilosophical necessity. Drawing parallels with the metaphysics of science (as applied to quantum foundations), we try to bring the realist assumptions of anti-exceptionalism to light, to demotivate the necessary connection between realism and anti-exceptionalism, briefly …

Rashba-induced spin Hall response in a disordered $WTe_2$ four-terminal structure
The paramount acumen for controlling spin transport properties in nonmagnetic materials is the usage of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We propose a model to calculate the spin hall angle (SHA) for the elemental transition metal dichalcogenide compound, $WTe_2$ entrenched on the intrinsic Rashba SOC. This model, is based on the Landauer-Buttiker formalism for quantum transport, and the $4$-terminal device setup with the presence of disorder from random onsite potential fluctuations. The SHA, includi…
