Found an old review, really loved working with New Noveta back in 2019:
"The two young performers get straight to work making the attendees at the edges of the room feel uncomfortable, grasping each other's bodies, screaming and crying, while brandishing what appears to be a giant folding fan made of 2ft blades. The pair chase each other on foot through the crowd, pushing people in all directions and never looking anything other than distressed, disturbed or downright terrified…

Fröhlich Condensation of Bosons: Graph texture of curl flux network for nonequilibrium properties
Nonequilibrium condensates of bosons subject to energy pump and dissipation are investigated, manifesting the Fröhlich coherence proposed in 1968. A quantum theory is developed to capture such a nonequilibrium nature, yielding a certain graphic structure arising from the detailed-balance breaking. The results show a network of probability curl fluxes that reveals a graph topology. The winding number associated with the flux network is thus identified as a new order parameter for the phase tran…

The world's data centers already consume three times as much electricity as Dutch national consumption. And this is expected to grow to 8 times within five years.

I think the MUNI 15 route needs some rethinking whenever there is a ballpark or chase center event. Could it use the T ROW once it hits Bryant?

Verifiable Natural Language to Linear Temporal Logic Translation: A Benchmark Dataset and Evaluation Suite
Empirical evaluation of state-of-the-art natural-language (NL) to temporal-logic (TL) translation systems reveals near-perfect performance on existing benchmarks. However, current studies measure only the accuracy of the translation of NL logic into formal TL, ignoring a system's capacity to ground atomic propositions into new scenarios or environments. This is a critical feature, necessary for the verification of resulting formulas in a concrete state space. Consequently, most NL-to-TL transla…

New Guardian documentary
Stand up comedy helps heal a Catholic parish: Fox Chase Boy
An altar boy at St Cecilia Catholic church in north-east Philadelphia when, at age 11, he became one of the victims of paedophile James Brzyski.
He has developed a one-man stage show that he performs to his close-knit parish. He speaks directly about a crime cloaked in silence.

Watching and listening to Santana doing his thing on SNL (2x17). Up to mid second season, the show was kind of a dark, edgy, artistic drag, excluding Chevy Chase's murderously hilarious Gerald Ford impressions, but now it's picking up steam 👍 👍

"The cult of goal-setting thrives in this illusion. It converts uncertainty into an illusion of progress. It demands specificity in exchange for comfort. And it replaces self-trust with the performance of future-planning."

Smart People Don't Chase Goals; They Create Limits
A few years ago, I sat across from a friend at a late dinner. He was telling me about his new promotion, the big title, the bonus, the corner office. I remember watching his face as he described it. He looked like someone describing a story he’d once believed

Extreme Forward Scattering Observed in Disk-Averaged Near-Infrared Phase Curves of Titan
Titan, with its thick and hazy atmosphere, is a key world in our solar system for understanding light scattering processes. NASA's Cassini mission monitored Titan between 2004 and 2017, where the derived dataset includes a large number of whole disk observations. Once spatially integrated, these whole disk observations reveal Titan's phase-dependent brightness which can serve as an analog for how hazy worlds might appear around other stars. To explore Titan's phase curve, we present a pipeline …

I feel like that video of the squeaky tank is a riff on a Tex Avery cartoon or a Mr Bean or Mel Brooks or Monty Python chase scene
Waiting patiently at the crossing for all the piddling vehicles to go by before resuming the chase... And the last one is a little old person on a bike
But Google is crap now so I can't remember which one it was.

Multimodal Political Bias Identification and Neutralization
Due to the presence of political echo chambers, it becomes imperative to detect and remove subjective bias and emotionally charged language from both the text and images of political articles. However, prior work has focused on solely the text portion of the bias rather than both the text and image portions. This is a problem because the images are just as powerful of a medium to communicate information as text is. To that end, we present a model that leverages both text and image bias which co…

However, he then discovers that color figures aren’t covered, and now he owes the Cartel over 1600 Swiss francs. The chase is on as the Cartel is determined to get their hands on the money, no matter what.

Maybe they just walked around it, or I need to use more? I'll try doing the entire fence line tonight and see if it's more effective if I make sure not to leave any gaps.

Chase-and-Run and Chirality in Nonlocal Models of Pattern Formation
Chase-and-run dynamics, in which one population pursues another that flees from it, are found throughout nature, from predator-prey interactions in ecosystems to the collective motion of cells during development. Intriguingly, in many of these systems, the movement is not straight; instead, 'runners' veer off at an angle from their pursuers. This angled movement often exhibits a consistent left-right asymmetry, known as lateralisation or chirality. Inspired by such phenomena in zebrafish skin p…

Unique support from identity-based groups: Professional networks of women and LGBTQ+ physicists analyzed and compared by career sector
This paper presents a social network analysis of the professional support networks of 100 LGBTQ+ and/or women PhD physicists, comparing the networks based on the career sectors of academia, industry, and government/nonprofit. The methods for constructing and analyzing the ego networks, which are novel in many ways, are explained in greater detail in an earlier publication (Hatcher et. al., 2025). We use statistical tests of independence to explore differences between sectors in terms of whole n…

A Neural Network-aided Low Complexity Chase Decoder for URLLC
Ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) demand decoding algorithms that simultaneously offer high reliability and low complexity under stringent latency constraints. While iterative decoding schemes for LDPC and Polar codes offer a good compromise between performance and complexity, they fall short in approaching the theoretical performance limits in the typical URLLC short block length regime. Conversely, quasi-ML decoding schemes for algebraic codes, like Chase-II decoding, exhibit …

Flocking with random non-reciprocal interactions
Flocking is ubiquitous in nature and emerges due to short or long range alignment interactions among self-propelled agents. Two unfriendly species that anti-align or even interact non-reciprocally show more complex collective phenomena, ranging from parallel and anti-parallel flocking over runand chase behavior to chiral phases. Whether flocking or any of these collective phenomena can survive in the presence of a large number of species with random non-reciprocal interactions remained elusive …

Iterative Neural Rollback Chase-Pyndiah Decoding
Iterative decoding is essential in modern communication systems, especially optical communications, where error-correcting codes such as turbo product codes (TPC) and staircase codes are widely employed. A key factor in achieving high error correction performance is the use of soft-decision decoding for component codes. However, implementing optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability decoding for commonly used component codes, such as BCH and Polar codes, is computationally prohibitive. Ins…
