Random thought: imagine there's a parallel universe exactly identical to ours. You are a genius scientist and invent a machine that lets you cross. As you press the button, your doppelganger does too, and so, for all intents and purposes, nothing changes and the machine simply doesn't work.

A little self promotion: Hai-Dang Dau (NUS) and I recently released this pre-print, which I'm not half proud of.
arxiv.org/abs/2510.07559
The main problem we solve in it is to construct importance weights for Markov chain Monte Carlo. We achieve it via a method we call harmonization by coupling.

Meet the new Lattice Random Walk (LRW) discretisation for SDEs. It’s radically different from traditional methods like Euler-Maruyama (EM) in that each iteration can only move in discrete steps {-δₓ, 0, δₓ}.
