Sen. Padilla claps back after JD Vance calls him 'Jose': 'He knows my name'
Sen. Alex Padilla insisted the vice president knows his name, calling the misnaming a reflection of a "petty and unserious" administration. The dustup arrives as federal immigration raids continue to roil Los Angeles and surrounding communities.

Vice President JD Vance is set to travel to Los Angeles today (June 20) amid tensions in the city over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Vance will “tour a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center,
a Federal Mobile Command Center, meet with leadership and Marines, and deliver brief remarks,” according to a readout of the vice president’s travel plans.
The trip comes after Los Angeles had been rocked with significant anti-ICE protests for which Donald Trump…

Sure, the Fediverse is nerdy and requires you to choose an instance, but at least that makes it too "complicated" for the vice president of a fascist administration to join.

This really gives a new meaning to the “paper of record."

Key date is approaching for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act
"Back in Washington, the Executive Officer for the Joint Staff refuses to convey additional orders continuing martial law from the White House — and further notifies the forces that illegal orders have been issued, and that the president has acted ultra vires (i.e. “beyond his authority”) to his constitutional executive powers by issuing unlawful orders. He then proceeds to the White House with the Provost Marshal of the Military District of Washington, accompanied by a number of MPs, where they arrest the president and the vice president for violating their oaths of office."

Enhancing photon-axion conversion probability with squeezed coherent states
In particle physics, axions and axion-like particles are ubiquitous. Remarkably, ultra-light axions could constitute dark matter or dark energy. Therefore, it is important to detect axions experimentally. In the presence of a magnetic field, a photon can be converted into an axion, and vice versa. Utilizing the conversion phenomenon, several methods for detecting axions have been proposed. To improve detectability, it is desirable to use quantum sensing. However, since the conversion process is…

I started by finishing up the taxi and ice cream van missions, unlocking the regular payments from them, then I headed for the golf club to see if there was anything more to do there.

Generalized Onsager reciprocal relations of charge and spin transport

Generalized Onsager reciprocal relations of charge and spin transport
In spin-orbit-coupled systems the charge and spin transport are generally coupled to each other, namely a charge current will induce a spin current and vice versa. In the presence of time-reversal symmetry $\mathcal{T}$, the cross-coupling transport coefficients describing how one process affects the other are constrained by the famous Onsager reciprocal relations. In this paper, we generalize the Onsager reciprocal relations of charge and spin transport to systems that break the time-reversal …

Observing the Birth of Rydberg Exciton Fermi Polarons on a Moire Fermi Sea
The optical spectra of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are dominated by tightly bound excitons and trions. In the low doping limit, trions are often described as three-body quasiparticles consisting of two electrons and one hole or vice versa. However, trions are more rigorously understood as quasiparticles arising from the interaction between an exciton and excitation of the Fermi sea - referred to as exciton Fermi polaron. Here we employ pump-probe spectroscopy to directly observe the for…

Changing Bases with Pipe Dream Combinatorics
Lascoux and Schützenberger introduced Schubert and Grothendieck polynomials to study the cohomology and K-theory of the complete flag variety. We present explicit combinatorial rules for expressing Grothendieck polynomials in the basis of Schubert polynomials, and vice versa, using the bumpless pipe dreams (BPDs) of Lam, Lee, and Shimozono. A key advantage of BPDs is that they are naturally back stable, which allows us to give a combinatorial formula for expanding back stable Grothendieck poly…

A closer look at the algebraic-operator correspondence between position and momentum space in Quantum Mechanics
In this work we take a closer look at the algebraic-operator correspondence between the momentum ($k$) space and the position ($x$) space which gives us the form of the momentum operator in position space and vice versa in Quantum Mechanics. Taking the definition of the Fourier Transform as the starting point, we present a two parameter generalisation of the form of the momentum operator in position space followed by a generalisation of the momentum eigenfunctions and a few other results. It is…

We introduce a formula for determining the number of codewords of weight 2 in cyclic codes and provide results related to the count of codewords with weight 3. Additionally, we establish a recursive relationship for binary cyclic codes that connects their weight distribution to the number of solutions of associated systems of polynomial equations. This relationship allows for the computation of weight distributions from known solutions of systems of diagonal equations and vice versa, offering a…

Rigidity of Epithelial Tissues as a Double Optimization Problem
How do cells tune emergent properties at the scale of tissues? One class of such emergent behaviors are rigidity transitions, in which a tissue changes from a solid-like to a fluid-like state or vice versa. Here, we introduce a new way for a tissue described by a vertex model to tune its rigidity, by using ``tunable degrees of freedom." We use the vertex model elastic energy as a cost function and the cell stiffnesses, target shapes, and target areas as different sets of degrees of freedom desc…

Resilience and adaptability in self-evidencing systems
In this paper we will articulate a view of resilience under the free energy principle and vice versa. The free energy principle is about existence and identity, and resilience is the condition under which things exist at all. In previous work this has been investigated as modelling resilience using the free energy principle. We will extend that work by making the case that self-organisation under the free energy principle is about resilience, in the sense that identity is a constant process of …
