Solitons, chaos, and quantum phenomena: a deterministic approach to the Schrödinger equation
We show that the Schrödinger equation describes the ensemble mean dynamics of solitons in a Galilean invariant field theory where we interpret solitons as particles. On a zero background, solitons move classically, following Newton`s second law, however, on a non-zero amplitude chaotic background, their momentum and position fluctuate fulfilling an exact uncertainty relation, which give rise to the emergence of quantum phenomena. The Schrodinger equation for the ensemble of solitons is obtaine…

Raiders Training Camp: Is Cornerback Position Being Neglected? https://raiderramble.com/2025/06/28/raiders-training-camp-is-cornerback-position-being-neglected/

Some reactions to the current Indonesian protests:
- As far as the underlying issue goes, that of legislative pay, the protesters are in the wrong there, as legislators do actually deserve to be compensated for the extra expenses associated with the position
- That being said, the rights we consider "First Amendment rights" here in the US (speech, assembly, petitioning the government for redress of grievances) are fundamental and should be protected. The protesters have a right to protest even if they are wrong about legislative pay.
- Furthermore, police response to the protests has been disproportionately violent and fascistic. The death of a protester struck by a police vehicle shows the danger of both car culture and police militarization. Further protests on these two topics are necessary, and I stand in solidarity with any protesters speaking out against police brutality and vehicle deadliness.

Building upon two-dimensional magnetic monopole gases formed at the interface between 2-in-2-out spin ice and all-in-all-out antiferromagnetic pyrochlore iridate, the design introduces a 3-in-1-out/1-in-3-out fragmented barrier layer into the spin-ice matrix, defining two energetically stable monopole traps.

Overly academic/distanced ethical discussions
Had a weird interaction with @/brainwane@social.coop just now. I misinterpreted one of their posts quoting someone else and I think the combination of that plus an interaction pattern where I'd assume their stance on something and respond critically to that ended up with me getting blocked. I don't have hard feelings exactly, and this post is only partly about this particular person, but I noticed something interesting by the end of the conversation that had been bothering me. They repeatedly criticized me for assuming what their position was, but never actually stated their position. They didn't say: "I'm bothered you assumed my position was X, it's actually Y." They just said "I'm bothered you assumed my position was X, please don't assume my position!" I get that it's annoying to have people respond to a straw man version of your argument, but when I in response asked some direct questions about what their position was, they gave some non-answers and then blocked me. It's entirely possible it's a coincidence, and they just happened to run out of patience on that iteration, but it makes me take their critique of my interactions a bit less seriously. I suspect that they just didn't want to hear what I was saying, while at the same time they wanted to feel as if they were someone who values public critique and open discussion of tricky issues (if anyone reading this post also followed our interaction and has a different opinion of my behavior, I'd be glad to hear it; it's possible In effectively being an asshole here and it would be useful to hear that if so).
In any case, the fact that at the end of the entire discussion, I'm realizing I still don't actually know their position on whether they think the AI use case in question is worthwhile feels odd. They praised the system on several occasions, albeit noting some drawbacks while doing so. They said that the system was possibly changing their anti-AI stance, but then got mad at me for assuming this meant that they thought this use-case was justified. Maybe they just haven't made up their mind yet but didn't want to say that?
Interestingly, in one of their own blog posts that got linked in the discussion, they discuss a different AI system, and despite listing a bunch of concrete harms, conclude that it's okay to use it. That's fine; I don't think *every* use of AI is wrong on balance, but what bothered me was that their post dismissed a number of real ethical issues by saying essentially "I haven't seen calls for a boycott over this issue, so it's not a reason to stop use." That's an extremely socially conformist version of ethics that doesn't sit well with me. The discussion also ended up linking this post: https://chelseatroy.com/2024/08/28/does-ai-benefit-the-world/ which bothered me in a related way. In it, Troy describes classroom teaching techniques for introducing and helping students explore the ethics of AI, and they seem mostly great. They avoid prescribing any particular correct stance, which is important when teaching given the power relationship, and they help students understand the limitations of their perspectives regarding global impacts, which is great. But the overall conclusion of the post is that "nobody is qualified to really judge global impacts, so we should focus on ways to improve outcomes instead of trying to judge them." This bothers me because we actually do have a responsibility to make decisive ethical judgments despite limitations of our perspectives. If we never commit to any ethical judgment against a technology because we think our perspective is too limited to know the true impacts (which I'll concede it invariably is) then we'll have to accept every technology without objection, limiting ourselves to trying to improve their impacts without opposing them. Given who currently controls most of the resources that go into exploration for new technologies, this stance is too permissive. Perhaps if our objection to a technology was absolute and instantly effective, I'd buy the argument that objecting without a deep global view of the long-term risks is dangerous. As things stand, I think that objecting to the development/use of certain technologies in certain contexts is necessary, and although there's a lot of uncertainly, I expect strongly enough that the overall outcomes of objection will be positive that I think it's a good thing to do.
The deeper point here I guess is that this kind of "things are too complicated, let's have a nuanced discussion where we don't come to any conclusions because we see a lot of unknowns along with definite harms" really bothers me.

What's Really Different with AI? -- A Behavior-based Perspective on System Safety for Automated Driving Systems
Assuring safety for ``AI-based'' systems is one of the current challenges in safety engineering. For automated driving systems, in particular, further assurance challenges result from the open context that the systems need to operate in after deployment. The current standardization and regulation landscape for ``AI-based'' systems is becoming ever more complex, as standards and regulations are being released at high frequencies. This position paper seeks to provide guidance for making qualifi…

Joint Time-Position Statistics and Fisher Information in Drift-Diffusion Molecular Channels
This letter presents a closed-form characterization of the joint distribution of first arrival time (FAT) and first arrival position (FAP) in diffusion-based molecular communication (MC) systems with drift. Prior studies have investigated FAT modeling via inverse Gaussian distributions [1] and applied FAT statistics for parameter estimation and synchronization tasks [2], [3], while more recent work has characterized FAP for spatial channel analysis [4]. In contrast, we derive an explicit joint …

Deep Neural Network Driven Simulation Based Inference Method for Pole Position Estimation under Model Misspecification
Simulation Based Inference (SBI) is shown to yield more accurate resonance parameter estimates than traditional chi-squared minimization in certain cases of model misspecification, demonstrated through a case study of pi-pi scattering and the rho(770) resonance. Models fit to some data sets using chi-squared minimization can predict inaccurate pole positions for the rho(770), while SBI provides more robust predictions across the same models and data. This result is significant both as a proof o…

Out-of-time-order correlators bridge classical transport and quantum dynamics
The out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) has emerged as a central tool for quantifying decoherence across wide-ranging physical platforms. Here we demonstrate its direct measurement in a classical ensemble using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with a modulated gradient spin echo (MGSE) sequence and extend the method into a multidimensional correlation to track exchange phenomena. Position is encoded through magnetic field gradients and momentum through the velocity autocorrelation function, ena…

Learn to Position -- A Novel Meta Method for Robotic Positioning
Absolute positioning accuracy is a vital specification for robots. Achieving high position precision can be challenging due to the presence of various sources of errors. Meanwhile, accurately depicting these errors is difficult due to their stochastic nature. Vision-based methods are commonly integrated to guide robotic positioning, but their performance can be highly impacted by inevitable occlusions or adverse lighting conditions. Drawing on the aforementioned considerations, a vision-free, m…

The Republican House will soon be forced into the position of issuing a subpoena for the voluminous criminal file on deceased sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein
— putting the Trump administration in the equally uncomfortable position of deciding how to respond.

Three Republicans joined Democrats this week in voting to subpoena the records from the Justice Department,
as well as to demand testimony from prominent figures from Republican and Democratic administrations
as …

A House panel must subpoena the Epstein files. Here’s what to know.
As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) is obligated, under House rules, to issue the subpoena to the Justice Department. But he has not said when he will do so.

Wave packets, "negative times" and the elephant in the room
Controversy surrounding the "tunnelling time problem" stems from the seeming inability of quantum mechanics to provide, in the usual way, a definition of the duration a particle is supposed to spend in a given region of space. For this reason, the problem is often approached from an "operational" angle. One such approach uses the position of the transmitted wave packet in order to infer the duration the particle spends in the barrier. Here we replace the barrier with a tuneable Mach-Zehnder int…

And the administration is hoping the country will just move on.
But the story isn’t going away.
