Why is improvement hard?
Part of the issue is everyone wants to improve, but nobody wants to destroy. Change often requires destruction. Or, at least, unlearning.
Let's call it gentle elimination. You may have to leave little habits, update current beliefs, eliminate comfortable patterns. When you want better outcomes, your daily norms may need to change. The process of improvement is not just about adding things you like. (...)

Content warning: on sexism in technology work
For those that don't know, I help run a large women in technology chat group on Slack. It's been going for 11 years now! (ask me for an invite if you want one and that's appropriate!)
It has deeply shaped how I think about technology, especially the social side. There is so much embodied knowledge in that community, it's amazing. And it's also such a window into how much the mainstream of technology writing is dominated by men. We talk about it differently! We're much more likely to be critical, and to be critical of the _structures_ in tech. Sometimes that comes off as kneejerk "Ugh BRIAN!" to some of the bullshit men to do women in the workplace, but also embedded underneath is an understanding of rarely-mapped power structures in the field. So much advice out there is written assuming that there is no dissent, no silent frustration, no quiet abandoning the job when the pressures are unresolved. And so much of the tech world, press and on social media alike, has no insight that this attrition even happens.
Women, collectively, though, understand it. We notice the patterns of promotions. We understand the way that if we're in our 40s, we're rather likely to have a manager who is a decade younger than we are, with no particular experience. We notice when men are lauded for spending time with their family instead of work on occasion, but women are expected to be present at all times and rarely seen positively for doing the exact same things.
And yet, any given instance is always shrouded in deniability. The pattern generally holds, but is this one my fault? Do I not measure up? Or is it sexism?
That's what these structures rob from us: we never have the clarity in feedback that it is accurate, that is us that must change. When we stick to our guns, are we being obstinate, or are we correct? That information is denied to us by sexism. It only becomes clear in aggregate, and even then it is very hard to find action to take on it except to acknowledge it and move on.
I don't think people talk about that ambiguity enough: we're always looking for the clear sexism, the man speaking over the women, the trading sexual favors for advancement, the clear pattern of pet-to-threat that so many women experience as they age or gain skill in the field. But the bulk of sexism that we experience is in the structural poisoning of feedback.

ResonaVis: Visualizing Interactive Music Data to Support Reflective Music Composition for Therapeutic Contexts

Abstract: Designing music for therapeutic contexts requires navigating complex relationships between musical structure and listeners' sensory responses, yet composers often lack structured representations of these interactions, relying instead on intuition. We present ResonaVis, an interactive visualization system that helps composers analyze interaction and audio data from prior sessions with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), informing future compositions. ResonaVis integrates audio features and interaction logs to capture how children engage with layered musical compositions, representing this engagement through coordinated visualizations of temporal transitions, layer co-occurrence, rhythmic activity, and spectral characteristics. Rather than prescribing strategies or supporting therapy sessions directly, the system surfaces patterns in past session data to support data-informed reflection during composition. We evaluated ResonaVis through a mixed-methods study with eight music students and a follow-up case study with two experienced composers. Results demonstrate good usability (SUS = 72.23), exceeding benchmarks for early prototypes, and show that participants could identify interaction patterns, reason about layer relationships, and make informed compositional decisions with high perceived performance and low frustration. Confidence in interpreting interaction and acoustic data for ASD-focused composition increased significantly across multiple dimensions (p < 0.05), with qualitative findings suggesting a shift toward more adaptive, data-informed composition. This work contributes a visualization design space for therapeutic music interaction data, an integrated system for compositional reflection, and empirical evidence that visualization tools support analytical reasoning and confidence in data-informed creative practice.

Abstract: Artificial transaction generation remains an important source of potential market manipulation on cryptocurrency exchanges, as it may distort reported liquidity and reduce market transparency. This study proposes a diagnostic framework for detecting unusual trading patterns based on complexity and statistical-structure measures derived from high-frequency trade-level data. The analysis considers log-returns, trading volume, and transaction counts, using tail distributions, autocorrelation functions, multifractal characteristics, approximate entropy, and detrended cross-correlations. The methodology is applied to BTC, ETH, and XRP traded on Binance, Bitget, KuCoin, and Kraken over the period from April 1 to June 30, 2025. The results reveal a pronounced anomaly on Bitget for BTC and ETH after mid-May 2025. The number of transactions increases sharply, but there is no proportional increase in traded volume or return fluctuations. This regime is characterised by numerous low-volume trades, weaker autocorrelations, reduced multifractal organisation, higher short-pattern irregularity, and weaker cross-correlations involving the transaction-count series. These features are consistent with a noise-like component in trading activity and may indicate artificially increased transaction counts, although they do not provide direct proof of wash trading. The findings show that complexity-based indicators can be useful for detecting exchange-specific trading anomalies that remain hidden in price-based measures.

The Impact of Circumgalactic Rotation on Ly$\alpha$ Radiative Transfer

Abstract: Hydrogen Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) is a prominent emission line from the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Due to its resonant nature, Ly$\alpha$ carries imprints of the physical properties and kinematics of the cold CGM. In particular, CGM rotation can modify the Ly$\alpha$ peak separation, which is often interpreted as a tracer of H I column density. We present 3D Monte Carlo Ly$\alpha$ radiative-transfer simulations in a CGM-like rotating medium and examine how the emergent spectra depend on rotational velocity ($V_{\rm rot}$), H I column density ($N_{\rm HI}$), viewing angle, clumpiness, and intrinsic source width. We find that rotation broadens the integrated spectra and increases the peak separation, with the strongest viewing-angle dependence when rotational Doppler shifts dominate over frequency diffusion. At high $N_{\rm HI}$, numerous scatterings reduce the sensitivity of integrated spectra to rotation, producing a degeneracy between $V_{\rm rot}$ and $N_{\rm HI}$. Consequently, Ly$\alpha$ peak separation alone can overestimate $N_{\rm HI}$ in a rotating medium. Spatially resolved halo spectra provide a clearer diagnostic: opposite sides of the rotating medium show systematic redshifted and blueshifted asymmetries associated with the line-of-sight velocity of the last-scattering gas. Such rotation-driven signatures can also contribute to velocity-map patterns often interpreted in terms of inflow or outflow, highlighting the need to consider rotation in spatially resolved Ly$\alpha$ observations. We further show that the main signatures persist in simple clumpy media, while the halo signatures are largely insensitive to the intrinsic source width. Our results demonstrate that spatially resolved Ly$\alpha$ observation is essential for disentangling CGM rotation from radiative-transfer effects.

Abstract: Nonequilibrium membrane pattern formation is studied using meshless membrane simulation. Bound proteins are considered to have two states that generate different membrane spontaneous curvatures. Protein binding and unbinding occur cyclically owing to chemical potential differences, as an off-lattice active Potts model. It is found that this cyclic binding/unbinding can induce blinking domains, with oscillating size: convex domains of the proteins with a higher spontaneous curvature grow, and subsequently, the proteins change to the other state with a lower spontaneous curvature, resulting in domain shrinkage. These processes repeat. In thermal equilibrium, hexagonal convex domains are formed by the competition between bending and surface tension energies, so that they are stably formed only under positive surface tension. However, blinking domains can form even in tensionless membranes.

Abstract: Extended Reality (XR) systems increasingly deliver high-fidelity visual and auditory experiences, yet tactile perception remains comparatively underutilized as a modality for enriching embodied interaction. This work presents a visual-to-haptic wearable glove and a feature-based visual-to-haptic mapping algorithm that translates spatial and temporal visual features from images and videos into distributed vibrotactile patterns. The proposed method extracts motion, edge, and brightness cues and fuses them into actuator-level intensity maps aligned with a 29-actuator glove arranged in a five-by-seven layout.
The system is implemented through a modular four-layer architecture comprising the XR environment, media content handling, visual-to-haptic processing, and embedded haptic hardware. A within-subject user study (N = 20) compared visual-only interaction with visual-plus-haptic augmentation across texture-based and dynamic video scenarios. Results indicate that tactile augmentation significantly improves perceived realism in dynamic video scenarios and enhances immersion and visual-tactile correspondence across conditions, with stronger and more consistent effects observed for dynamic visual events.
While the current implementation operates in a single-user, offline-synchronized configuration, the findings demonstrate that vision-driven tactile augmentation can function as a perceptual enhancement layer within multimodal XR systems. Such a layer may provide a foundation for future socially enriched XR environments where coherent multisensory grounding supports higher-level interaction and communication.

Getting closer to Rust replacement for my Arduino LED code on ESP32. In addition to parallel outputs, I now have wifi, a web server, and very basic audio in. (I2S Audio with async DMA only works with git `esp-hal`, depending on some very recent not yet released enhancements)
Next steps for full parity: DDP in over UDP, key/value store in flash to preserve settings (eg save brightness), more advanced patterns, and hopefully using the second core.

After another round of tuning to remove some expensive barriers and optimize memory access patterns, the CDR PLL on this benchmark went from 13.6 ms baseline down to 4.5 on the AMD R9700.
The 3070 Ti is still faster, but by a much smaller margin: 7.8 ms on the original code down to 4.2 on the newly optimized.

ProtoGIB-Workload: Learning Workload-Specific Neural Topology Prototypes across Subjects

Abstract: Reliable electroencephalography (EEG)-based mental workload recognition is crucial for adaptive human-centered systems, yet practical deployment requires models to generalize to users unseen during training. Although functional connectivity graphs are widely adopted to capture workload-related neural interactions, they inherently entangle task-relevant structures with subject-specific physiological traits and sample-level noise. This entanglement often leads models to learn structural shortcuts, severely degrading cross-subject generalization. To address this, we propose ProtoGIB-Workload, a novel framework that explicitly regularizes and aligns graph structures for subject-independent workload recognition. Our approach introduces a Stochastic Graph Information Bottleneck (SGIB) to compress dense correlation priors into compact, task-relevant subgraphs, filtering out input-related redundancy. Crucially, to prevent the retention of subject-specific spurious edges, we propose a Class-Conditional Topology Stabilizer (CTS). Leveraging the fixed electrode coordinates of EEG data, CTS operates directly on graph-generation probabilities to encourage consistent edge-generation statistics across different subjects sharing the same workload class. Extensive experiments on two public EEG workload datasets and one in-house EEG cognitive load dataset of air traffic controllers under strict leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) protocols demonstrate that ProtoGIB-Workload significantly outperforms state-of-the-art temporal and graph-based baselines, improving the cross-subject Macro-F1 score by an average of 5.15% (up to 6.34%). Further analyses confirm that our method successfully extracts stable, cross-subject consistent neural connectivity patterns.
