Vinko Zlatic @vinkozlatic.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Another one fresh from the oven. For our project, we need to know how errors behave. There are not many papers on the problem. After the experience, it became clear that the reason for that is that the problem is much more complicated than one would naively believe. arxiv.org/abs/2607.03300 000
Vinko Zlatic @vinkozlatic.bsky.social · 30/06/2026This one is personal. It is motivated by my dislike of modern copyright and company clouds.

Vinko Zlatic @vinkozlatic.bsky.social · 30/01/2025In arguments with my HEP friends, I raised another argument for the fundamentality of Stat. Phys. .
