Quantum Meets SAR: A Novel Range-Doppler Algorithm for Next-Gen Earth Observation
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) plays a vital role in remote sensing due to its ability to capture high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions or daylight.

Variation of Bose surface by Filling in Cooper pair Bose metal
The Cooper pair Bose metal (CPBM) is a non-superfluid quantum phase in which uncondensed fermion pairs form a "Bose surface" in momentum space. We investigate the CPBM in the two-dimensional spin-anisotropic attractive Hubbard model by tuning the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hopping t', carrier filling n, and spin anisotropy alpha, using large-scale constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A moderate NNN hopping (t'/t = 0.2) substantially enlarges the CPBM region: the phase extends into…

Our framework incorporates a pair of encoder and decoder neural networks to compress and reconstruct the angle parameters of the CSI. To enable an efficient finite-bit representation of the …

uspolitics, trump
I keep seeing smart people writing stuff like
> [the US] kept peace through strength balanced with restraint, and wielded influence through culture, values, and diplomacy
I understand that #Trump is terrible and some people feel tempted to idealize what they had before him, but we should be more discerning, or otherwise it becomes impossible to understand how this happened in the first place.
Let's start with some questions:
- peace where? and for who? was it true peace, or "Pax Romana"?
- are we going to take seriously that statement on "restraint"? after all the lies, internal witch hunting, sanctions, coups, wars, invasions, genocides, and last but not least, 2 unnecessary nuclear strikes on Japan?
Now, on "culture, values, and diplomacy". Sure. Why not. Not everything was going to be bad, right?
But the thing is, abusive husbands aren't bad all the time either. From time to time they know how to be sweet and seem to care: one present here, flowers the next day, a little bit of gaslighting, and fake apologies after that "accidental" slap.
Given enough time (if the wife is still alive), at some point the victim decides to leave, and then all hell breaks loose. Trump is the manifestation of that moment. He does not represent a change in #USA's nature, but a hidden side that was "always" there, just waiting to play its role.
Others believe this is because #US citizens have been intentionally dumbed down by a combination of propaganda and a disfunctional education system, and I'm sure it's partly true... But let's see what many of their most brilliant and educated citizens are choosing to do with their lives today: https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/12/stanford-students-want-in-on-the-military-tech-gold-rush/

LLM-based Property-based Test Generation for Guardrailing Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are complex systems that integrate physical, computational, and communication subsystems. The heterogeneous nature of these systems makes their safety assurance challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel automated approach for guardrailing cyber-physical systems using property-based tests (PBTs) generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Our approach employs an LLM to extract properties from the code and documentation of CPSs. Next, we use the LLM to generate P…

there is something profoundly funny about how mainstream tech now talks about how #Linux-based handhelds are better at power management than #windows-based ones. what’s next? “use linux for better printer support!” or “sound is only reliable on Linux tbh”
Really curious where the Proton train wi…

As I've seen a good number of people here post about "Worktree.ca" as a "Canadian-owned" alternative to GitHub: it's a closed-source fork of Gitea which "one day" (maybe, if the company doesn't change its mind) will be open core. It also runs on AWS…
Not that it's any of my business, but migrating there feels like the code-equivalent of leaving Twitter for Bluesky: Moving from one company-owned walled garden to the next, without having learned a lesson. All painted in a nationalist cash grab. 🤷‍♂️

In the past week I have sent emails to and called 3 of my local (city & state) electeds regarding active legislation. I have not heard back from a single one of them.
I don't feel particularly represented right now. You're going to have to EARN my vote in the next election.

The UK's Press Gazette launches a paywall, charging £9.99 per month or £99 per year, and plans to add AI-enhanced search, its first app, and a print product (Dominic Ponsford/Press Gazette)

Press Gazette launches paid access to online content
Press Gazette is launching a metered paywall to help it fund the next stage of its expansion.

I wonder if they’ll also skip their SoCs to keep synced to the iOS version, like the next iPhone having an A26 instead of A19 SoC

The idea is to provide a safe haven and a fertile ground for the next generation of scientists to work in peace and freedom to solve the most significant challenges of our time; but the geopolitical argument will prevail. As Jorge Luis Borges said in his short story “Nathaniel Hawthorne” from his book “Other Inquisitions” (1952):

There was a moment in which Kurt Gödel, Albert Einstein, and John von Neumann were all roaming the halls of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton at the same time. Let that information sink in. Humanity experiences such gatherings of brilliant minds in a remote location of the space-time continuum only every so often; maybe the ancient Greeks and the men of the Renaissance witnessed such periods in time, as did the IAS staff at the end of World War II. How much will we have to wait f…

Rydberg Atomic Receiver: Next Frontier of Wireless Communications
Rydberg Atomic REceiver (RARE) is driving a paradigm shift in electromagnetic (EM) wave measurement by harnessing the electron transition phenomenon of Rydberg atoms. Operating at the quantum scale, such receivers have the potential to breakthrough the performance limit of classic receivers, sparking a revolution in physical-layer wireless communications. The objective of this paper is to offer insights into RARE-empowered communications. We first provide a comprehensive introduction to the fun…
