New paper. A total of about 10 years of work.
Approximately 40% of all proteins are intrinsically disordered or contain intrinsically disordered regions. So far, it was widely believed that these regions always had a random coil secondary structure. We show that this is not necessarily the case.
We applied the replica method to a generalized Langevin equation to describe the structure of AXR3, which is a co-receptor of the plant growth hormone auxin, and found that it adopts a number of distinct, different tertiary structures. Of these, two are particularly stable, almost equally probable, and account for 90% of the conformations. The results are confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism experiments. This shows that intrinsic disorder does not always mean a constantly disordered structure, such as a random coil or a Gaussian self-avoiding walk. Rather, disorder can arise as an ensemble effect of a glassy energy landscape, in which a protein can exist in a mixture of separate folded structures, with an energy barrier that may also induce symmetry breaking and the effective loss of ergodicity, depending on its height.
The fact that the first fully characterized example of such cases is a plant protein from the auxin system is an added bonus. 😎

You can try other angles. pi/8 and 3pi/8 give maximum magnitude of the correlation coefficient (sqrt(2)).
This is perfectly serious stuff. The theorists have left out some necessary details of random process analysis they do not know are necessary, involving joint pdf and so forth.

Yaaaayyyyy
I love the Sim City games (ever since I played the original in school in the early 90s!) I recently grabbed Cities: Skylines on Switch when it was on sale for less than $10 and I haven't dived in yet, but I'm psyched to eventually.
But this time, instead of just jumping in and building whatever (as I often do, recently with both the Sim City mobile game and the Sim City on DS), I'm doing some research on city design, to try and build something in a meaningful way. I want to see what designs I really like most, etc. From what I hear about Skylines, it's super realistic, and I should be able to build a cool, futuristic city that's fully green, sustainable, etc.
Anybody else played Skylines or is a big fan of any of the other Sim City games?

Particle tunneling
My cheap collision detection finds the nearest point on the ellipse to the ball center and if that point is inside the ball, it bounces. Fast balls can go from one side on one frame to the other on the next without touching the edge, tunneling through.
The hacky fix adds more physics updates. The "right" fix intersects their motion line with the edge, but that requires messier, slower math.

Messing around with building a small #visualization slash #simulation tool that will allow you to play and single-step through various #P2P connectivity scenarios.

I do not expect this simulation to change many minds. The Bohr cult is a cult. When it comes to quantum mechanics, supposed scientists are not scientists at all, but authoritarian cultists.
However, the truly interested may want to take a look at the program. It’s my best yet, for sure.
Here is the first real draft of my new #HiddenVariables simulation of an EPR-B experiment:
This version does NOT ‘swap channels’, as have my earlier versions, and therefore is unobjectionable in that regard.
(Channel-swapping is mathematically equivalent, ‘in the limit as n->infinity’. Nonetheless it did not give strictly correct statistics for the simulation. It gave merely a less accurate approximation.)

I'm debating with myself whether to write it in Python, and so pretend it's best to use a language physicists know, or Ada, and thus a language that doesn't suck and which everyone can read. Then also I can recommend translation to Python as an exercise for the reader who actually cares. (I, after all, came up with such stuff by translating from a mere sketchy description of a program that I think was in Scilab.)

Tin Can is game number seven in this month's Humble Choice bundle, and answers the question, "What if Breathedge, but serious?"
Tin Can is a first-person space survival sim. Your goal is to survive as long as possible in real time.
The tutorial walks you (an on-board janitor) through the basic systems of the escape pod through a set of cute over-the-radio interactions with an on-board engineer who has to be in two places at once, and seconds you a few times to run through some repairs, then diagnostics, then troubleshooting.
Then the ship starts to explode, and suddenly you need to be in that escape pod.
You have a handful of spare parts, a technical manual, and a few minutes to solve whatever problem the escape pod is experiencing before that problem kills you.
The game tells you upfront that you will die. A lot.
I wouldn't describe it as fun, per se; it's stressful, but very engaging.
With only one game left in this month's bundle, I'm genuinely surprised at the number of bangers this time around.
If you don't already own the games I reckon you can't go wrong dropping AUD$17 on the bundle, even if the final game turns out to be a fizzer.

I figured this might be the game where I sigh, and force myself to 15 minutes and write my little review.
Almost two hours later...
Conceptually, this game is much like Passpartout: The Starving Artist that really surprised me back in January.
Instead of a humble garage in Paris, you find yourself in a future where all art is created by robots, and realising the dead end of this, real live artists are being sponsored to create real art, with real paints and canvases...
...based on a space station.
It's a cute twist. You're supplied with everything required to make basic art, and you can paint commissions or just create paintings and sell them in the "marketplace" (no other players required).
My first commission was a request for a unicorn from my sister.
It was a very bad unicorn. She loved it. Of course.
You can pretty much grind out anything, and it will be accepted and loved by those who commissioned it.
White polar bear in a snowstorm doesn't cut it though.
You have to put *something* on the canvas.
I kept painting, and churning out crap to complete quests and level up. It was kind of fun, and a chill way to kill some time.
Then... I saw something. An idea. An actual idea. In fiddling around with the in-game tools, something unlocked, and I found myself frantically grabbing paints and rollers and brushes, and a water pistol filled with paint, and *creating*.
When I was done, I sat back in my chair, and just loved that thing I'd created.

Game: Arcade Paradise

Library Date: Aug 4, 2023
Unplayed: 5d
Playtime: 54m
There comes a time in every monthly Humble Bundle where you hit the cruft. The games they chose to pad out the bundle to eight games.
...and so we come to Arcade Paradise, game number five.
This is not that game.
I really didn't expect much of this from the title. The apparent love of retro games by indie devs is lost on me, and going on the name and the artwork, I made the assumption that this was going to be something a la Capcom's "Arcade Stadium" with a bunch of retro-styled games, and maybe some vague narrative thread to string them together.
Having just finished re-assembling my PC at 11:45pm, I figured I'd put in my 15 minutes and write the review later.
The game intro didn't do much to assuage my fears. A bunch of hand-drawn animated graphics. Not *badly* done, but I've been burned before.
The intro ends, and the screen morphs into... full first-person high resolution 3D.
*blink* wut.
This is a pleasant surprise.
As it turns out, Arcade Paradise is a love letter to retro arcade games, wrapped in a business sim.
As 19yo college dropout Ashley, you've been handed the keys to one of your father's run-down laundromats, in the hope that you'll "make something" of yourself.
The game opens with you dropped off by the bus in front of said laundromat, with a series of answering machine messages from your father telling you each step of managing the laundromat.
Hope you don't mind doing laundry, kid. There's a lot of it to do. There's also cleaning, garbage collection, maintenance, and emptying coin hoppers.
Oh, and there are a couple of arcade machines in the back room.
This is the heart of the narrative. Yes, you need to do all that stuff in the laundromat, working long days, to earn money... so that you can afford to buy more arcade machines, and prove to dad that there's more to life than just the grind of doing laundry.
I was hooked, and am tired this morning as a result.
There are some things that frustrate me about the gameplay. The "opening the safe" process gets old *very* quickly. The inability to interact with the garbage piled outside the laundromat just annoys me.
I WANT TO CLEAN IT UP. There are empty vending machines that I want to fill, and cannot interact with. I don't just want to build the arcade, I also want to clean up and renovate the laundromat, but that's a "me" thing.
Ironically, you can also play the arcade games themselves, something that just doesn't grab me at all, but that's OK by me.

Something I made a few months ago. I find physics simulations, and especially stuff being broken/destroyed, really satisfying
