Open source isn’t free. We’re just not paying for it: Who maintains the maintainers?
A lot of things don’t add up in the world of software. The skills gap remains stubbornly wide, with IT and data skills the hardest to recruit for five consecutive years. Yet, at the same time, entry level roles are declining as employers redeploy existing employees rather than hiring new ones.

On my mind, lately, as my wife & I are pressed fully into the sandwich generation:
Teens often subconsciously "soil the nest" - creating increased conflict and emotional distance as a mechanism which makes the transition to independence feel easier for everyone.
The inverse exists with aging parents. As the caregiver roles reverse, they rebel against loss of independence in ways that often are against their own self-interest, making it harder for everyone else.

Deep learning of committor and explainable artificial intelligence analysis for identifying reaction coordinates

arxiv.org/abs/2603.25237 arxiv.org/pdf/2603.25237 arxiv.org/html/2603.25237
arXiv:2603.25237v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In complex molecular systems, the reaction coordinate (RC) that characterizes transition pathways is essential to understand underlying molecular mechanisms. This review surveys a framework for identifying the RC by applying deep learning to the committor, which provides the most reliable measure of the progress along a transition path. The inputs to the neural network are collective variables (CVs) expressed as functions of atomic coordinates of the system, and the corresponding RC is predicted as the output by training the network on the committor as the learning target. Because deep learning models typically operate in a black-box manner, it is difficult to determine which input variables govern the predictions. The incorporation of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques enables quantitative assessment of the contributions of individual input variables to the predictions. This approach allows the identification of CVs that play dominant roles and demonstrates that the committor distribution on the surface using important CVs is separated by well-defined boundaries. The framework provides an explainable deep learning strategy for assigning a molecular mechanism from the RC and is applicable to a wide range of complex molecular systems.

A discrete Boltzmann model with state-dependent power-law relaxation time for nonequilibrium transport in compressible flows

arxiv.org/abs/2605.18216 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.18216 arxiv.org/html/2605.18216
arXiv:2605.18216v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects play a central role in momentum and energy transport in compressible flows. In conventional BGK kinetic models, the relaxation time $\tau$ is taken as a constant, which neglects the dependence of the relaxation process on local macroscopic states. To overcome this limitation, we develop a discrete Boltzmann model with a density- and temperature-dependent power-law relaxation time, termed DTRT-DBM, in which $\tau=\tau_0(\rho/\rho_0)^a(T/T_0)^b$. This formulation extends the discrete Boltzmann framework to flows with spatially varying nonequilibrium intensity. The model is validated by the Sod shock tube and by analytical solutions for viscous stress and heat flux, demonstrating accurate recovery of both macroscopic wave structures and nonequilibrium quantities across shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities. On this basis, phase diagrams of viscous stress and heat flux are constructed to examine how these quantities depend on the power-law exponents $a$ and $b$. The extrema of these quantities depend exponentially on the model parameters and exhibit regime-dependent behaviour. The roles of $a$ and $b$ are not symmetric: the nonequilibrium response is more sensitive to $a$ when density gradients dominate, but more sensitive to $b$ when temperature gradients dominate. Within the parameter range and flow configurations examined here, higher-order viscous stress increases the growth rate of the total viscous-stress extremum, whereas higher-order heat flux reduces the growth rate of the total heat-flux extremum. These results show that the proposed model can capture different higher-order nonequilibrium responses in compressible flows and provides a framework for the modelling and analysis of multiscale nonequilibrium processes.

arXiv:2603.28488v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) remain unreliable for high-stakes claim verification due to hallucinations and shallow reasoning. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent debate (MAD) address this, they are limited by one-pass retrieval and unstructured debate dynamics. We propose a courtroom-style multi-agent framework, PROClaim, that reformulates verification as a structured, adversarial deliberation. Our approach integrates specialized roles (e.g., Plaintiff, Defense, Judge) with Progressive RAG (P-RAG) to dynamically expand and refine the evidence pool during the debate. Furthermore, we employ evidence negotiation, self-reflection, and heterogeneous multi-judge aggregation to enforce calibration, robustness, and diversity. In zero-shot evaluations on the Check-COVID benchmark, PROClaim achieves 81.7% accuracy, outperforming standard multi-agent debate by 10.0 percentage points, with P-RAG driving the primary performance gains ( 7.5 pp). We ultimately demonstrate that structural deliberation and model heterogeneity effectively mitigate systematic biases, providing a robust foundation for reliable claim verification. Our code and data are publicly available at github.com/mnc13/PROClaim.
