I installed v26 of #Apple's OS updates about 24h ago, and it's not been catastrophic. A couple of very minor UI glitches, perhaps, that’ll be fixed in the next patch.
I think of Windows users out there, stoically enduring what's basically a malware distribution platform, and by comparison, I find Apple users’ months-long orgy of entitled diaper-shitting—LONG preceding this major releas…

Tilted Dirac cones and their topology in Holographic Materials
We explore strongly correlated materials with tilted Dirac cone by introducing a method to realize this spectral feature within a holographic setup. Following the work by Moradpouri et al., we construct an asymptotically AdS spacetime by uplifting the vielbein of Volovik et al to tilt the flat spacetime light cone. We then couple the resulting metric to holographic fermions and compute their spectral functions, confirming the presence of a tilted Dirac cone in momentum space. We also calculate …

A Finite-State Symbolic Automaton Model for the Collatz Map and Its Convergence Properties
We present a finite-state, deterministic automaton that emulates the Collatz function by operating on base-10 digit sequences. Each digit is represented as a symbolic triplet capturing its value, the parity of the next digit, and a local carry value, resulting in a state space of exactly 60 configurations. The transition rules are local, total, and parity-dependent, yet collectively reproduce the global behavior of the Collatz map through digitwise operations. All symbolic trajectories reduce t…

Realizing Blume-Capel Degrees of Freedom with Toroidal Moments in a Ruby Artificial Spin Ice
Realizing exotic Hamiltonians beyond the Ising model is a key pursuit in experimental statistical physics. One such example is the Blume-Capel model, a three-state spin model, whose phase diagram features a tricritical point where second-order and first-order transition lines converge, leading to a coexistence of paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and disordered phases. Here, we realize an artificial crystal of single-domain nanomagnets, placed on the links of the Ruby lattice, enabling real-space ob…
