Casual Viewing | Will Tavlin
A decade before Airbnb persuaded homeowners to transform their homes into hotels, Netflix convinced its users to turn theirs into mini Netflix warehouses. Customers who held onto their DVDs for longer meant fewer shipping costs for Netflix, and fewer DVDs for the company to manage and store. Netflix tracked heavy users of its service — labeling them internally as “pigs” — and secretly throttled their deliveries. It didn’t matter if Netflix rented fewer DVDs than Blockbuster, b…

12 Augustus 2026 is er een totale zonsverduistering en wij gaan hem hopelijk zien.
De prijzen voor hotelkamers op de totale verduisteringslijn zijn nu al astronomisch hoog, en ik durfde niet naar de prijzen op IJsland te kijken.
Wij gaan naar A Carunā waar om 20.30 (ongeveer) de zon een minuutje achter de maan gaat staan.
Zin an.

The role of scalar current coupling along surfaces
In this paper we propose a coupling between the complex scalar field and an external Dirac delta-like planar potential. The coupling is achieved through the Klein-Gordon current normal to the plane where the potential is concentrated. The results are obtained exactly and exhibit many peculiarities. We show that a complex scalar charge does not interact with the potential, but the potential modifies the interaction between two scalar charges if they are placed on opposite sides of the planar pot…

Auf dem morgendlichen Brötchenholspaziergang noch ein nachtägliches Foto für den #Fensterfreitag aufgenommen. Zu sehen ist das leerstehende, verfallende Eden Parc Hotel in Bad Schwalbach. Die Fensterfassade wird teilweise vom roten Licht der aufgehenden Sonne beleuchtet. Poetisch gesprochen: Aurora wird diese künftige Ruine wohl auch nicht mehr wachküssen.

Hamiltonian truncation and quantum simulation of strong-field QED beyond tree level
Quantum electrodynamics in strong background fields provides an interesting class of problems for classical and quantum simulation. In this paper we formulate simulations of polarization (helicity) flip for a photon colliding with a high-intensity plane wave. Polarization flip is a one loop effect, which requires addressing new issues that do not arise in simulations of tree-level processes. Working in the momentum-space Fock basis, while convenient for the extraction of scattering amplitudes, …
