The latest salvo in Trump's fight to remake America’s elite cultural institutions:
This time, the attack has foundered!
So far, Sajet, a 60-year-old Dutch art historian with a long career in American and Australian art museums who became the National Portrait Gallery’s first female director in 2013, is still at her desk.
Trump lacks the legal authority to dismiss Sajet or hire her replacement
—although you can bet that administration lawyers are looking for legal …

Why Is Trump Trying to Fire This Museum Director?
If he succeeds, it could put the whole Smithsonian under his thumb.

Martin Davis: An Overview of his Work in Logic, Computer Science, and Philosophy
In his autobiographic essay written in 1999, ``From logic to computer science and back'', Martin David Davis (3/8/1928--1/1/2023) indicated that he viewed himself as a logician \emph{and} a computer scientist. He expanded the essay in 2016 and expressed a new perspective through a changed title, ``My life as a logician''. He points out that logic was the unifying theme underlying his scientific career. Our paper attempts to provide a consistent vision that illuminates Davis' successive contribu…

It's publication day for 'Space Syntax - Selected papers by Bill Hillier', edited by my wonderful Bartlett School of Architecture colleague Laura Vaughan with John Peponis and Ruth Conroy Dalton.
The book brings together Hillier's groundbreaking work spanning half a century with current commentaries by international researchers

Finished the SFP28 carrier board. Still waiting on final design review before I send it out to OSHPark, but it's done-enough that I could export a STEP and pull into the enclosure model.
Placement of all the front panel stuff is pretty definite at this point, the power supply and PDU are likely to move.
Logic board hasn't even started schematic capture yet.
There will probably be at least a couple of fans but I haven't figured out where or how many yet.

Ground state exciton-polariton condensation by coherent Floquet driving
The on-demand selective population transfer between states in multilevel quantum systems is a challenging problem with implications for a wide-range of physical platforms including photon and exciton-polariton Bose- Einstein condensates (BECs). Here, we introduce an universal strategy for this selective transfer based on a strong time-periodic energy modulation, which is experimentally demonstrated by using a GHz acoustic wave to control the gain and loss of confined modes of an exciton-polarit…

VoiceMark: Zero-Shot Voice Cloning-Resistant Watermarking Approach Leveraging Speaker-Specific Latents
Voice cloning (VC)-resistant watermarking is an emerging technique for tracing and preventing unauthorized cloning. Existing methods effectively trace traditional VC models by training them on watermarked audio but fail in zero-shot VC scenarios, where models synthesize audio from an audio prompt without training. To address this, we propose VoiceMark, the first zero-shot VC-resistant watermarking method that leverages speaker-specific latents as the watermark carrier, allowing the watermark to…
