I want to push back on the idea in the world of tech work that a PIP (performance improvement plan) is about getting rid of someone, that they're not intended to be survivable.
This is completely false. (I'm sure there's instances of it, of course, but the mode and vast majority are, in fact about performance improvement. Sometimes they're shadow layoffs, but that is cruel callous behavior that not everyone will exhibit.)
Now _most people do not survive the PIP process_. This is to be expected: if someone is in fact not performing, and more gentle remedies haven't worked, it's not looking good.
But here's where I get a bit spicy: most performance problems are constitutional problems with management and management style, not individual performance problems. However, since managers are as a class 'in power' somewhat, the individual contributor takes the fall for this structurally.
The intent of a PIP is not to get rid of people. It's to right performance.
However, as a system, PIPs do largely get rid of people who are constitutionally misaligned with management. Even when it's a management problem (and it usually is)

A Simulation of the Fermilab Main Injector Dual Power Amplifier Cavities
The Fermilab Main Injector accelerating cavities have sparking issues when they are run at voltages higher than those required by the PIP-II project. This is a problem Fermilab is working on as planning begins for the next upgrade to the accelerator complex. One of the methods being used to address the issue is the development of a CST Microwave Studio simulation to accurately model the PIP-II dual power amplifier cavities and identify which part(s) of the cavity is causing sparking to develop.…

I thought I'd try out Open WebUI, so I installed it via pip. 20 minutes later we're at 8 gigabytes and compiling a bunch of code from scratch. Folks, it's just a simple chat-style web interface to LLM APIs. I'm wondering if the whole thing was coded by AIs who didn't care at all about footprint.

QUBODock: A Pip-Installable QUBO Tool for Ligand Pose Generation
We present QUBODock, a pip-installable tool that formulates ligand pose generation as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem and solves it efficiently on CPU or GPU. QUBODock focuses exclusively on pose generation and deliberately excludes any built-in scoring function, allowing researchers to pair its poses with external scorers of their choice. The software provides a minimal, reproducible interface for (i) protein-ligand structure ingestion and preprocessing, (ii) QUBO …

Estimation of Payload Inertial Parameters from Human Demonstrations by Hand Guiding
As the availability of cobots increases, it is essential to address the needs of users with little to no programming knowledge to operate such systems efficiently. Programming concepts often use intuitive interaction modalities, such as hand guiding, to address this. When programming in-contact motions, such frameworks require knowledge of the robot tool's payload inertial parameters (PIP) in addition to the demonstrated velocities and forces to ensure effective hybrid motion-force control.

Fast magneto-acoustic waves in the solar chromosphere: Comparison of single-fluid and two-fluid approximations

Fast magneto-acoustic waves in the solar chromosphere: Comparison of single-fluid and two-fluid approximations
Context: The mechanism behind the heating of the solar chromosphere remains unclear. Friction between neutrals and charges is expected to contribute to plasma heating in a partially ionised plasma (PIP). Aims: We aim to study the efficiency of the frictional heating mechanism in partially ionised plasmas by comparing a single-fluid model (1F) using ambipolar diffusion and a two-fluid model (2F) that incorporates elastic collision terms. Methods: We use the code MANCHA-2F to solve the equations …

"Gold-Standard" $Δ$-Machine Learned and Transferable Potential for Linear Alkanes
The conformational properties of linear alkanes, C$_n$H$_{2n+2}$, have been of intense interest for many years. Experiments and corresponding electronic structure calculations were first reported in the mid-2000s and continue to the present time. These focus on the minimum chain length where the transition from the linear minimum to the hairpin minimum occurs. We recently reported a transferable many-body permutationally invariant polynomial (MB-PIP) for linear alkanes using B3LYP electronic en…

Booster Cavity Damper Redesign for PIP-II

Booster Cavity Damper Redesign for PIP-II
A new Higher Order Mode (HOM) damper was designed and tested for the Booster accelerator cavity at Fermilab. In anticipation of the PIP-II upgrade, it was discovered that the higher beam intensity of PIP-II may cause beam instability due to an excited mode at 105 MHz. This unfortunately corresponds with the cavity's 2nd order harmonic mode, which will sweep from 86-105.7 MHz. The new damper is a modification of an existing damper that was designed to reduce an existing static HOM at 83 MHz, wit…

Development of BPM electronics for PIP-II at Fermilab
This paper presents the uTCA4.0-based BPM electronics for PIP-II, featuring four 250 MSPS ADCs and a Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC FPGA with 10 GbE uplink. Design elements include signal conditioning, clock, and thermal management. The FPGA performs signal processing, time tagging, digital down-conversion, and phase drift compensation. Position and phase resolution, and thermal stability - is validated through dedicated testing.

Magnetic measurements of Fermilab rapid-cycling Booster gradient magnets
Fermilab is upgrading its Booster synchrotron to increase ramp rate and intensity. This is part of the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP-II) that will allow the Main Injector to achieve proton beam power of 1.2 MW within the next few years. This upgrade includes running the 55-year-old Booster magnets at 20 Hz instead of the usual 15 Hz, and construction of some shorter and wider aperture versions of these combined-function gradient magnets. Magnetic measurements were performed to characterize the p…

Time-of-flight Energy Measurements with BPMs
The energy of a bunched non-relativistic ion beam can be deduced from measuring the beam phases in neighbouring Beam Position Monitors (BPMs). This report discusses implementation of such a procedure at the PIP-II H- linac being constructed at Fermilab. The case when the flight time between BPMs is longer than the period of BPM frequency is considered in more detail. When absolute BPM phase calibration is not available, the BPM phase information can be used to track deviations of the beam energ…
