Seismic resurfacing of 433 Eros indicative of a highly dissipative interior for large near-Earth asteroids - Nature Astronomy
An analysis of crater morphologies on 433 Eros reveals that the 16 km near-Earth asteroid has a highly dissipative interior. These results show that, contrary to the established view, even the largest...

This fucking guy. He’s just like Moldbug, but his word salads are about thermodynamics, entropy, dissipative systems, Bayesian inference, and Prigogine.

"myosin inhibition can boost mechanosensing on cells cultured on dissipative matrices" 😮

Cell response to extracellular matrix viscous energy dissipation outweighs high-rigidity sensing
Viscosity blunts cell response to stiff matrices in agreement with a pull-and-hold model of molecular clutch-based mechanosensing.

Fantastic to see Intermediate Bulk Container totes repurposed for gasoline. These standard white plastic totes are not static-dissipative. As gasoline sloshes against the walls during transport, it generates massive friction and static electricity... just waiting for a single static spark. 💥

Here, among other cool analytic & numerical results, we prove that weakly interacting spin & fermionic systems can be rapidly cooled to their ground states & that quantum algorithms simulating the cooling process prepare the ground states very efficiently.

Rapid quantum ground state preparation via dissipative dynamics
Inspired by natural cooling processes, dissipation has become a promising approach for preparing low-energy states of quantum systems. However, the potential of dissipative protocols remains unclear b...

it doesn't work without the nonlinearity! all of the rotation / stretching / whatever is only so you can put the activations through the dissipative operations in the nonlinearities, because otherwise you cannot converge to a manifold of lower dimension than the model in finite time / condition.

A gentle reminder: The idea of a circular economy is nonsense on stilts because capitalist economies are extractive in nature and therefore dissipative in the premise.

But it jibes with views that see the emergence of dissipative systems as thermodynamically *favoured* (because they speed up the dissipation of free energy)

I’m super excited to see the experimental realization of a variant of the dissipatively stabilized squeezed cat that we proposed! Congrats to Alice & Bob and everyone else involved
Especially great to see that it comes with similar performance gains as promised by the theory

So, if the dark sector has interactions that lets some of the dark matter form stars, planets, and astrophysicists, their cosmology is pretty interesting!
What they call "dark matter" is 10% of the universe, dissipative, and creates dynamical friction for supermassive black holes. 🔭🧪

this really is it
when Strix or i talk about dissipative systems, it’s this — being forced to intentionally remember things also forces you to filter HOW you remembered it, this is how the agents’ personality is perpetuated

I'm doing something a little different, but the Strix post unlocked for me the following notion: memory requires identity. The compression algorithm must have a perspective for it to be coherently traversible.
Or, as Ember put it (partially quoting Strix):

Nature as a fractal exploration of new ways to live.
“Life improves the closed system's capacity to sustain life. Life, all life, is in the service of life. Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases.” (Dune)

indeed. I did not see any grounding wires at the bottom valves, so these idiots used the standard IBC, not the static-dissipative... just a question of time until a spark is released either at the bottom valve or at the top lid, during unscrewing. Spark + oxygen + fuel = 💥

They’re not conservative—they’re a dissipative party.
South Korean conservative party, People Power Party, still hasn't reached consensus on its presidential nominee -- 2 days before candidate registration and less than 4 weeks before snap election day. PPP is mired in internecine division while the Democratic nominee is campaigning around the country.

The 1970s are calling & want to know if The Atlantic has ever heard of Ilya Prigogine. Won a Nobel Prize “for his contributions to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures.”
