"All principled humanity fell on deaf ears. At the time of writing, over 30,000 Palestinians have been massacred in Israel’s retaliation, of which so many are children that UNICEF’s James Elder called this “a war on children.” It has been five months of a genocidal bombardment that is unprecedented in the intensity and firepower used on a trapped population."

The genocidal mind is not the preserve of cartoon monsters in history books. It is a collusion of psychological habits groomed and grown in people like us when we fixate on our private gardens.

Trump echoes Hitler's 'final solution' rhetoric in latest speeches
Over the weekend, America was treated to one of the great spectacles that has become a tradition over decades. Not the Super Bowl—that other big American festival. The one where major media outlets fixate on some perceived flaw in a Democratic...

5 non-OL prospects Cowboys could realistically pick in first round of 2024 NFL Draft
It feels like a foregone conclusion that the Dallas Cowboys will be picking an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The team desperately needs help for the unit after losing Tyler Biadasz and Tyron Smith during free agency and after going extremely quiet in March, the 24th overall pick might be their only path toward adding an impact player in the trenches.  But when you're picking late in the first round, it's a dangerous game to fixate on one position and risk losing o…

Joint Identifiability of Cross-Domain Recommendation via Hierarchical Subspace Disentanglement
Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) seeks to enable effective knowledge transfer across domains. Existing works rely on either representation alignment or transformation bridges, but they struggle on identifying domain-shared from domain-specific latent factors. Specifically, while CDR describes user representations as a joint distribution over two domains, these methods fail to account for its joint identifiability as they primarily fixate on the marginal distribution within a particular domain.…

On a Voter Model with Context-Dependent Opinion Adoption
Opinion diffusion is a crucial phenomenon in social networks, often underlying the way in which a collective of agents develops a consensus on relevant decisions. The voter model is a well-known theoretical model to study opinion spreading in social networks and structured populations. Its simplest version assumes that an updating agent will adopt the opinion of a neighboring agent chosen at random. The model allows us to study, for example, the probability that a certain opinion will fixate in…

Amplifiers of selection for the Moran process with both Birth-death and death-Birth updating
Populations evolve by accumulating advantageous mutations. Every population has some spatial structure that can be modeled by an underlying network. The network then influences the probability that new advantageous mutations fixate. Amplifiers of selection are networks that increase the fixation probability of advantageous mutants, as compared to the unstructured fully-connected network. Whether or not a network is an amplifier depends on the choice of the random process that governs the evolut…
