The new law targets only Palestinians and entrenches Israel’s long-standing policy of extrajudicial execution under the guise of law, in clear violation of international human rights and humanitarian law. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

New paper out in PRL! With @artemyte.bsky.social and Sosuke Ito, we combine stochastic thermodynamics with nonequilibrium MaxEnt in large networks to infer entropy dissipation in high-dimensional systems from time series (up to 1000 variables!) journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Our paper w/ @maguilera.net & Sosuke Ito is out in PRL. We combine ideas from stochastic thermodynamics & nonequilibrium Maximum Entropy to quantify forces + dissipation in high-dimensional nonequilibrium systems, including spin glasses and neural data link: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

But one thing seems absolutely clear, the Greens have momentum and particularly with young people. The Greens now lead among Gen Z (28 and under adults) Britons in our latest polling 2 points ahead of Labour.

Vuelve Pol&Pop. Empezamos la séptima temporada hablando con @xanlopez.xyz sobre “El fin de la paciencia”. Sobre la confluencia de la crisis política y la crisis climática. Como siempre, en @elsaltodiario.com: www.elsaltodiario.com/pol-pop-podc...

El fin de la paciencia, con Xan López. Una novedad radical

La crisis climática supone un límite abrupto a la proverbial paciencia inscrita en nuestros deseos de emancipación, pero nuestra tradición política apenas se ha enterado.

"The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/" - @mims.bsky.social My takeway is that The US has gone ALL IN BET OF THE 21st Century on AI, while China has gone all in on green tech

Our paper just out in Nature Communications! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We introduce curved neural networks naturally introducing high-order interactions showing: • explosive phase transitions • enhanced memory retrieval via self-annealing • increased memory capacity through geometric curvature

Explosive neural networks via higher-order interactions in curved statistical manifolds - Nature Communications

Higher-order interactions shape complex neural dynamics but are hard to model. Here, authors use a generalization of the maximum entropy principle to introduce a family of curved neural networks, reve...

Esto de @ehbildu.bsky.social @mikelotero.bsky.social sobre quienes se oponen hoy al Real Decreto 7/2025 para reformar el sistema eléctrico: "Votar en contra de este decreto no perjudica al Gobierno, perjudica a un montón de gente que pagará en su factura los actuales y caros ajustes del sistema"

Ayer se publicó finalmente un documento en el que hemos trabajado desde inicio de curso. Todo proceso largo tiene una base amplia. Me parece útil comentar aquí algunos elementos importantes. ⤵️

Hoy se ha presentado la lectura y propuesta de «Política industrial para la transición ecosocial» de @labsindikatua.bsky.social Una apuesta valiente para afrontar un contexto cada vez más caótico y acelerado. El marco actual no garantiza ni la transición ni el empleo. ▶️ www.lab.eus/es/lab-recla...

We have a new preprint about measuring entropy production in high-dimensional systems, using ideas from information geometry. We successfully infer EP from brain recordings and spin models containing 1000+ degrees of freedom. With @maguilera.net and Sosuke Ito arxiv.org/abs/2505.10444

We're excited to take this step, and to talk to other folks who are interested in experimenting. If you have something you're excited to try, reply here -- and we might even fund it. asterainstitute.substack.com/p/scientific...

Las ayudas universales son compatibles con subidas de impuestos progresivos y facilitan muchísimo tanto su gestión como que no sea una vergüenza solicitarlas. Que sea universal no significa que no paguen más lo que más tienen sino que lleguen a todas las personas que las necesitan sin 20 formularios

Intuyo que un punto ciego de muchos movimientos por la defensa del territorio es la incapacidad de imaginar las formas en que la crisis climática puede devastar dichos territorios. Es más fácil entender el impacto de un macroparque eólico hoy que la desertización de la misma zona en cincuenta años.

So basically there's a cabal of billionaire broligarchs, far right propagandists, and reactionary centrist journalists all on group chats radicalizing together and exerting coordinated narratives and influence on media and politics www.semafor.com/article/04/2...

A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.

5. But right now my job doesn't feel like the best job in the world. 

Targeted attacks on university funding have put every US institution into a severe crisis. As of now, there is no way we will be able to continue doing the biomedical research, the conversation science, etc. that we always have.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world. 
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.
