By accident I just did:
DELETE FROM tablename WHERE "foo";

my heart skipped. Missing conditional. Should have said "WHERE x="foo". Affected all rows.
Hooray for backups.

Quantum signatures of proper time in optical ion clocks
Optical clocks based on atoms and ions probe relativistic effects with unprecedented sensitivity by resolving time dilation due to atom motion or different positions in the gravitational potential through frequency shifts. However, all measurements of time dilation so far can be explained effectively as the result of dynamics with respect to a classical proper time parameter. Here we show that atomic clocks can probe effects where a classical description of the proper time dynamics is insuffici…

Suppose I have a staging directory with files to install. For example:
/tmp/foo/usr/local/bin/bar
/tmp/foo/usr/local/lib/libbar.a
I want a tool where I can say 'some-tool install /tmp/foo' and it will copy those files to the real /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib.
But it will also back up the old contents of those paths (if any).
Then I can run 'some-tool uninstall /tmp/foo’, and it will delete all the installed files and restore the backed-up files.…

It's always a good day when you have "always comb foo = bar" and using foo instead of bar changes the run time of your simulation by almost 100K clock cycles.
I have to assume this is a Vivado simulator bug present in both 2024.1 and 2025.1, but don't yet have a fully reduced test case other than an always_ff block somehow having input and output changing on the same clock edge.

Anisotropic Fourier Features for Positional Encoding in Medical Imaging
The adoption of Transformer-based architectures in the medical domain is growing rapidly. In medical imaging, the analysis of complex shapes - such as organs, tissues, or other anatomical structures - combined with the often anisotropic nature of high-dimensional images complicates these adaptations. In this study, we critically examine the role of Positional Encodings (PEs), arguing that commonly used approaches may be suboptimal for the specific challenges of medical imaging. Sinusoidal Posit…

Mind the Gap: From Resolving Theoretical Foundations of Chiral(ity)-Induced Spin Selectivity to Pioneering Implementations in Quantum Sensing
The chiral(ity)-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, where electrons passing through a chiral medium acquire significant spin-polarization at ambient temperatures, has been widely observed experimentally, yet its theoretical foundations remain actively debated. Open questions persist regarding whether CISS originates from helical geometry or more general chirality, and whether a unified mechanism can account for phenomena across solid-state and soft-matter systems, mesoscopic films, and sing…

Fixed-Point-Oriented Programming: A Concise and Elegant Paradigm
Fixed-Point-Oriented Programming (FPOP) is an emerging paradigm designed to streamline the implementation of problems involving self-referential computations. These include graph algorithms, static analysis, parsing, and distributed computing-domains that traditionally require complex and tricky-to-implement work-queue algorithms. Existing programming paradigms lack direct support for these inherently fixed-point computations, leading to inefficient and error-prone implementations. This white…

Adding equatorial-asymmetric effects for spin-precessing binaries into the SEOBNRv5PHM waveform model
Gravitational waves from spin-precessing binaries exhibit equatorial asymmetries absent in non-precessing systems, leading to net linear momentum emission and contributing to the remnant's recoil. This effect, recently incorporated into only a few waveform models, is crucial for accurate recoil predictions and improved parameter estimation. We present an upgrade to the SEOBNRv5PHM model -- SEOBNRv5PHM_w/asym -- which includes equatorial asymmetric contributions to the l=m<=4 waveform modes in t…

PCA-Guided Quantile Sampling: Preserving Data Structure in Large-Scale Subsampling
We introduce Principal Component Analysis guided Quantile Sampling (PCA QS), a novel sampling framework designed to preserve both the statistical and geometric structure of large scale datasets. Unlike conventional PCA, which reduces dimensionality at the cost of interpretability, PCA QS retains the original feature space while using leading principal components solely to guide a quantile based stratification scheme. This principled design ensures that sampling remains representative without di…

What if each voxel were measured with a different diffusion protocol?
Expansion of diffusion MRI (dMRI) both into the realm of strong gradients, and into accessible imaging with portable low-field devices, brings about the challenge of gradient nonlinearities. Spatial variations of the diffusion gradients make diffusion weightings and directions non-uniform across the field of view, and deform perfect shells in the q-space designed for isotropic directional coverage. Such imperfections hinder parameter estimation: Anisotropic shells hamper the deconvolution of fi…
