- 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.

- Reposted by Adrien CorenflosSurprise 1: it is possible! Surprise 2: the algorithms are quite simple! Surprise 3: it is beautiful (this one is not a surprise) For a good overview and some cool results on correlated sampling, see, e.g., arxiv.org/abs/1612.01041 (Now, are you happy, tiny part of my brain I can't ignore?)
- Reposted by Adrien CorenflosLet me advertise a bit our Online Monte Carlo seminar: This coming Tuesday, we have Giorgos Vasdekis speaking on some very interesting recent work. Moreover, we have confirmed our speaker line-up through until December - very exciting! See sites.google.com/view/monte-c... for further details.

- 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.
- The idea is to make several Markov chains interact and exchange information via their weights. To do so we rely on *couplings* of chains X₀, X₁, ..., Xₙ, which are computable joint distributions the chains satifying P(Xₙ = Yₙ | Xₙ₋₁, Yₙ₋₁) > 0. sites.google.com/site/pierrej...
- This is what the original illustration showed. You make pairs, wait until they meet, at which point you equalise their weights: both particles are one and the same, so it doesn't matter! Once that's done, you just need to swap them (shuffle) with the other pairs that met, and the cycle continues.
