Lattice QCD spotted in the wild

I need a meme for perturbation theory versus a partial sum of infinite terms. I am definitely a sucker for the latter

The International Network of AISI’s is launched! We will be convening the AISI Consortium members in early December for some critical next steps. Goal remains to do the collaborative R&D necessary to enable trustworthy AI systems

FACT SHEET: U.S. Department of Commerce & U.S. Department of State Launch the International Network of AI Safety Institutes at Inaugural Convening in San Francisco The Network will drive alignment on and build the scientific basis for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI innovation around

Thrilled to help represent at the AISI convening today: www.nist.gov/news-events/...

Excited to visit @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social tomorrow morning before the AISI network launch on Wed

Searching for a good writeup of the integral form of linearized Einstein equations.

Lot of gov stuff this week, so no science updates. More next week.

Two seminars (on diff subj) in one week was surprisingly difficult; while I like how each came out, I am fairly confident I would have done better with one seminar done twice.

Today giving a career talk to MIT’s Center for Quantum Engineering grad students. Excited to give a peek of what mixing science and science policy can look like.

Prepping for tomorrow’s UW seminar where I will discuss our work on entanglement witnesses for atoms coupled to torsion pendula and some toy models of gravity such experiments may exclude

Okay, the BSSN formulation is wild. I really dig promoting constraints to variables while creating convergent equations. But 1959 to 1989 is a long time to do numerics with instabilities.

After the Pappalardo symposium last night, thrilled to see some new interest in Planck-scale dark matter detection

Surprised by the entanglement witness result; still debugging it with Gaya and Deven.

Reporting that my daughter is now admitting non Euclidean geometry might have a use, if only as a door stop

Today is a low science day, but look forward to bed time Gravitation reading

Little morning run in DC

Work day winding down working through a neat entanglement witness result from my student. More gravitation tomorrow morn

Restarting posting here. Currently reading Gravitation (MDW) for the first time, and wondering why I made do with Wald for so long. Both fine books, but the big black one is great. Shocking to see the table of sign conventions though — what a war zone of notation!

So… our US AI Safety Institute Consortium is launched! 222 members and more coming. Thrilled to help build the future together. www.nist.gov/news-events/...

It’s official! We’re creating the USAI Safety Institute NIST. Stay tuned for details on how to get engaged. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

After six months back at NIST, I can now start to talk about some of the great things we’ve been up to. A big part drops this week: www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...
