#1 DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE
You may wish to avoid retaliation, but you are actually teaching power what it is capable of. Do not compromise your principles. Do not freely offer your services. Do not lose yourself.

Somatic in the East, Psychological in the West?: Investigating Clinically-Grounded Cross-Cultural Depression Symptom Expression in LLMs
Prior clinical psychology research shows that Western individuals with depression tend to report psychological symptoms, while Eastern individuals report somatic ones. We test whether Large Language Models (LLMs), which are increasingly used in mental health, reproduce these cultural patterns by prompting them with Western or Eastern personas. Results show that LLMs largely fail to replicate the patterns when prompted in English, though prompting in major Eastern languages (i.e., Chinese, Japan…

Timothy Snyder:
The people described as "undocumented" or "denaturalized"
(and other categories sure to be invented soon)
are portrayed as criminals.
If the Trump regime tries to enslave such people on a large scale, there will be a court case.
But waiting for the Supreme Court to do the right thing is, to put it gently, no substitute for action.
It would be good if there were explicit legislation banning slave labor in all circumstan…

On the intersections of nilpotent subgroups in simple groups
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H_p$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. A very recent conjecture of Lisi and Sabatini asserts the existence of an element $x \in G$ such that $H_p \cap H_p^x$ is inclusion-minimal in the set $\{H_p \cap H_p^g \,:\, g \in G\}$ for every prime $p$. This has been proved in several special cases, including all sufficiently large symmetric and alternating groups. For a simple group $G$, in view of a theorem of Mazurov and Zenkov from 1996, the conjecture implies the e…

From trigonal to triclinic: Symmetry-tuned Rashba effects in buckled honeycomb SrHfO$_{3}$-based heterostructures
Harnessing the interplay of symmetry breaking and spin-orbit coupling, we investigate Rashba spin splitting in buckled honeycomb (SrHfO$_3$)$_2$/(LaAlO$_3$)$_4$(111) superlattices using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with a Hubbard $U$ term and a Wannier-based tight-binding (TB) model. In the non-centrosymmetric $P1$ phase, pronounced Rashba-type splitting emerges near the $M$ and $K$ points accompanied by a helical in-plane spin texture, while the centrosymmetric $P321$ phase rem…

Twenty U.S. Catholic bishops have signed onto an interfaith effort opposing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which would enact key provisions of President Donald Trump's legislative agenda on taxes and immigration, calling it a "moral failure."
