Unintended Side Effects HPV and Shingles Vaccines—Reason for Concern
While vaccine debate rages in social media and on Capitol Hill, examination of massive data sets reveals unanticipated effects of the human papilloma virus (HPV) and varicella-zoster (Shingles) vaccin

I had missed that last month, the condo development in the south parking lot of Fairview Mall was scaled back (at least for the first phase)
It's now just 1 tower instead of 3, and it's a rental instead of condos.
It's a really bad market to sell condos right now, so it's not too surprising.

Excited to release new repo: nanochat! (it's among the most unhinged I've written). Unlike my earlier similar repo nanoGPT which only covered pretraining, nanochat is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline of a simple ChatGPT clone in a single,

Resolving BCFT bulk-cone singularities in braneworlds and top-down holography

Resolving BCFT bulk-cone singularities in braneworlds and top-down holography
Two-point functions in BCFTs exhibit characteristic singularities compared to standard CFTs due to reflected light cones. In holographic BCFTs, further singularities, which need not be related to reflected light cones within the BCFT, can arise when the insertion points are connected by bulk null geodesics. The resulting `bulk-cone singularities' are expected to be an artifact of the `t Hooft limit and should be resolved in string theory. In this work we demonstrate the resolution of bulk-cone …

High-Fidelity Single-Shot Readout and Selective Nuclear Spin Control for a Spin-1/2 Quantum Register in Diamond
Quantum networks offer a way to overcome the size and complexity limitations of single quantum devices by linking multiple nodes into a scalable architecture. Group-IV color centers in diamond, paired with long-lived nuclear spins, have emerged as promising building blocks demonstrating proof-of-concept experiments such as blind quantum computing and quantum-enhanced sensing. However, realizing a large-scale electro-nuclear register remains a major challenge. Here we establish the germanium-vac…

Feedback Control of a Single-Tail Bioinspired 59-mg Swimmer
We present an evolved steerable version of the single-tail Fish-&-Ribbon-Inspired Small Swimming Harmonic roBot (FRISSHBot), a 59-mg biologically inspired swimmer, which is driven by a new shape-memory alloy (SMA)-based bimorph actuator. The new FRISSHBot is controllable in the two-dimensional (2D) space, which enabled the first demonstration of feedback-controlled trajectory tracking of a single-tail aquatic robot with onboard actuation at the subgram scale. These new capabilities are the resu…
