As Other Israelis Die in War, Ultra-Orthodox Resist Call to Fight (New York Times)

Resist the surface field: the H-bond network decides if water aligns at metal electrodes
At an electrode, water molecules align to the surface field upon voltage application. This initiates important electrochemical reactions, e.g., hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. Recently developed non-linear optical techniques challenge the traditional picture by quantifying a lack of water alignment at metal electrodes. We here provide theoretical and experimental evidences for the existence of a driving force that opposes water alignment to the surface field. Such driving force origina…

Chatcontrol 2025 edition in Brief - Bert Hubert's writings
In short, led by Denmark, many EU member states are arguing for forcing WhatsApp/Signal/etc to inspect all our photos and links, using AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if this might be child pornography, your photo, location, phone number & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force. What happens next is not specified, but your holiday in Cyprus might end up with you having to explain your photos over at the local police station.

A bit late now, but what would be even more effective would be mass SILENT protest. The heartland is going to see manufactured narratives of "riots" because people will be screaming obscenities at the regime. And that will look scary, especially if there are any BIPOC.

Anti-sexist speech, i.e., public expressions that challenge or resist gendered abuse and sexism, plays a vital role in shaping democratic debate online. Yet automated content moderation systems, increasingly powered by large language models (LLMs), may struggle to distinguish such resistance from the sexism it opposes.

Active viscoelastic condensates provide controllable mechanical anchor points
Many biological materials must couple mechanical strength with the ability to rapidly self-assemble at a specific location. In particular, biomolecular condensates readily self-assemble via phase separation, but may also need to resist external forces to fulfil their function. Spatial localisation of condensate formation can be controlled by active cores that preferentially drive the production of condensate material at a particular point, while resistance to external forces can be facilitated …

However, silicon nitride is generally more resistant to reactive ion etching than are typical etch masks made of polymer-based resist.

Enhancing LLM Watermark Resilience Against Both Scrubbing and Spoofing Attacks
Watermarking is a promising defense against the misuse of large language models (LLMs), yet it remains vulnerable to scrubbing and spoofing attacks. This vulnerability stems from an inherent trade-off governed by watermark window size: smaller windows resist scrubbing better but are easier to reverse-engineer, enabling low-cost statistics-based spoofing attacks. This work breaks this trade-off by introducing a novel mechanism, equivalent texture keys, where multiple tokens within a watermark wi…

This raises a fundamental question: does the SDLP offer any computational advantages over the standard discrete logarithm problem (DLP) against cl…
