From latent space to real-world networks — we’ve got the structure you need! In this preprint, we introduce a new methodology for generating graphs with arbitrary community structures in one-dimensional Euclidean space. That’s right — it’s everything you need.

Is it time for us—scientists, PhDs, PostDocs, and others—to be more welcoming?
Great post by @kmpanthagani.bsky.social on the impact of the word “misinformation.” I believe we should go further: listen, be welcoming, and engage in dialogue. It takes time, but in my view, it’s the only viable option.

I stopped using the word ‘misinformation.’
To many it feels like a slap in the face and immediately sows distrust — not a great way to start a conversation or reach people outside the academic bubble.

Why I stopped using the word 'misinformation'
The word ‘misinformation’ entered my regular vocabulary around the time it did for much of the country — March 2020. Discovering my newfound love for explaining science and addressing COVID rumors onl...

David Cope, a pioneer in computer-generated music, passed away on May 4. His "Experiments in Musical Intelligence" reshaped how we think about creativity and, perhaps, AI. Read about his legacy and listen to EMI's compositions here:

2025 is a perfect square. Didn't occur since 1936 and won’t until 2116. Adding 1 to each digit gives a perfect square- 25 is the only smaller integer with this property
It is sum of cubes of the first 9 integers and the square of their sum
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³=(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²
