Friction is good and one of the most consequential tasks facing the designers and managers of social-technical systems in the 21st century is putting it back in in the right ways and right places.
This is bad but I have to admit the repetition of “formal analysis” made me laugh out loud
anyway, plus ça change
I think if Lewis Mumford could’ve seen skibidi toilet he would kill himself
“With the successive demands of the outside world so frequent and so imperative, without any respect to their real importance, the inner world becomes progressively meager and formless: instead of active selection there is passive absorption…”
In 1934 already worried about brain rot! Lewis Mumford: “…the radio, the telephone, the daily newspaper clamor for attention, and amid the host of stimuli to which people are subjected, it becomes more and more difficult to absorb and cope with any one part of the environment…”
Funny, I just started reading the Feynman lectures on computation last week and happened to notice your name in the acknowledgments!
I’m at APS March Meeting today until Friday if anyone wants to meet up! ⚛️ Come see my talk on Friday at 9:12am room 163! I’ll be presenting our recent work on SiC NV centers in nanopillars.
Stochastic jump-rope?
Coherence time trials?

🥁🥁🥁 We have observed photon blockade in a cavity with multiple emitters i.e. a Tavis-Cummings system!

Just finished Cadillac Desert and now I’m mad this essay doesn’t actually exist thanks

It was so great to work with Mark and his group on this!
I guess my car has a thermal efficiency of about 10^28 bits per gallon
Passed my qualifying exam! That’s phd CANDIDATE to you!
That’s only von Neumann entropy though! Framing it this way sort of begs the question, doesn’t it?
Good government is easier when the pressure is low. Yet another reason to take action early.
Latest addition to the Robert Caro shrine has arrived
A little holiday cheer from the lab 🎄
The Lyndon Johnson series by Caro!
Wow I’ve never heard of that before! Sounds like he was halfway to rediscovering the Lindblad equation 🙂
I picked this model because I’m interested in optimal control of the shape of the water surface at a specific time, similar to GRAPE in quantum optimal control
I think you’re basically right and wind is a major source of those ripples as well. My model doesn’t include any atmosphere though so I can’t easily simulate that
and also in 2D
Add me too, please!
from a side project I'm working on: the shallow water equations are a system of hyperbolic PDEs that describe the movement of water when the depth is much less than the horizontal dimension. you can solve them pretty easily in julia. here's a 1D tub of water being shaken sinusoidally.
