So... Would anyone on here like to help me playtest a (probably very broken) game? I can't promise to play that quickly considering childcare, but it can easily be played asynchronously via posts. Reply with your opening rule pick as purple if you'd like to play (feel free to play with someone else and report back if you'd like to).

No for Some, Yes for Others: Persona Prompts and Other Sources of False Refusal in Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into our daily lives and personalized. However, LLM personalization might also increase unintended side effects. Recent work suggests that persona prompting can lead models to falsely refuse user requests. However, no work has fully quantified the extent of this issue. To address this gap, we measure the impact of 15 sociodemographic personas (based on gender, race, religion, and disability) on false refusal. To control for other factors,…

Persistent spin texture preserved by local symmetry in graphene/WTe$_2$ heterostructure
Crystal symmetries in solids give rise to spin-momentum locking, which determines how an electron's spin orientation depends on its momentum. This relationship, often referred to as spin texture, influences both charge-to-spin conversion and spin relaxation, making it one of the essential characteristics for spin-orbit-driven phenomena. Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and broken inversion symmetry can host persistent spin textures (PSTs) - unidirectional spin configurations in momentu…

The reflex instability: exponential growth of a large-scale $m=1$ mode in astrophysical discs
We report the finding of a linear, non-axisymmetric, global instability in gas discs around stars, which may be relevant to other astrophysical discs. It takes the form of an $m=1$ mode that grows in the disc density distribution while the star-barycentre distance rises exponentially with a characteristic timescale that is orders of magnitude longer than the orbital period. We present results of hydrodynamical simulations with various codes and numerical methods, using either barycentric or ste…

Wave-Breaking Phenomena in Quark-Gluon Plasma
We investigate the onset of wave-breaking in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC and the LHC. A nonlinear longitudinal color field is coupled to a three-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic background constrained by experimental conditions: Pb-Pb at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV (LHC) and Au-Au at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV (RHIC). The instantaneous wave-breaking threshold is determined from the in-medium plasma frequency, while the field evolution follows a non…
