This week's theme is songs that made you realize why others liked an artist. As a young adult, I was perplexed by Björk. I dated a few women in the 90s who loved her and I was slow and uninterested in listening to much beyond my usual selection of punk and ska. And then I heard this song and my opinion shifted radically and has never gone back.
Björk, "It's Oh So Quiet" (1995)

All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts

and the young are always optimists. But however the selection process works,

You Only Train Once: Differentiable Subset Selection for Omics Data
Daphn\'e Chopard, Jorge da Silva Gon\c{c}alves, Irene Cannistraci, Thomas M. Sutter, Julia E. Vogt
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.17678 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.17678 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.17678
arXiv:2512.17678v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Selecting compact and informative gene subsets from single-cell transcriptomic data is essential for biomarker discovery, improving interpretability, and cost-effective profiling. However, most existing feature selection approaches either operate as multi-stage pipelines or rely on post hoc feature attribution, making selection and prediction weakly coupled. In this work, we present YOTO (you only train once), an end-to-end framework that jointly identifies discrete gene subsets and performs prediction within a single differentiable architecture. In our model, the prediction task directly guides which genes are selected, while the learned subsets, in turn, shape the predictive representation. This closed feedback loop enables the model to iteratively refine both what it selects and how it predicts during training. Unlike existing approaches, YOTO enforces sparsity so that only the selected genes contribute to inference, eliminating the need to train additional downstream classifiers. Through a multi-task learning design, the model learns shared representations across related objectives, allowing partially labeled datasets to inform one another, and discovering gene subsets that generalize across tasks without additional training steps. We evaluate YOTO on two representative single-cell RNA-seq datasets, showing that it consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines. These results demonstrate that sparse, end-to-end, multi-task gene subset selection improves predictive performance and yields compact and meaningful gene subsets, advancing biomarker discovery and single-cell analysis.

Certain results on selection principles associated with bornological structure in topological spaces
Debraj Chandra, Subhankar Das, Nur Alam
https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.04038 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.04038 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.04038
arXiv:2511.04038v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study selection principles related to bornological covers in a topological space $X$ following the work of Aurichi et al., 2019, where selection principles have been investigated in the function space $C_\mathfrak{B}(X)$ endowed with the topology $\tau_\mathfrak{B}$ of uniform convergence on bornology $\mathfrak{B}$. We show equivalences among certain selection principles and present some game theoretic observations involving bornological covers. We investigate selection principles on the product space $X^n$ equipped with the product bornolgy $\mathfrak{B}^n$, $n\in \omega$. Considering the cardinal invariants such as the unbounding number ($\mathfrak{b}$), dominating numbers ($\mathfrak{d}$), pseudointersection numbers ($\mathfrak{p}$) etc., we establish connections between the cardinality of base of a bornology with certain selection principles. Finally, we investigate some variations of the tightness properties of $C_\mathfrak{B}(X)$ and present their characterizations in terms of selective bornological covering properties of $X$.

I suspect that my VS Code is completely "borken" as I cannot imagine how so many people are productive using it.
1. The selection behavior I have shared earlier continues to manifest sporadically. A restart fixes it. Sometimes.
2. I can't recall any keyboard shortcuts as they don't use any historical paradigms and they are all of the place.
3. Frequently used functionality (e.g. stage changes) has no shortcuts.
I am sure this is will be unpopular opinion.

The Theory of Strategic Evolution: Games with Endogenous Players and Strategic Replicators
Kevin Vallier
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.07901 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.07901 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.07901
arXiv:2512.07901v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper develops the Theory of Strategic Evolution, a general model for systems in which the population of players, strategies, and institutional rules evolve together. The theory extends replicator dynamics to settings with endogenous players, multi level selection, innovation, constitutional change, and meta governance. The central mathematical object is a Poiesis stack: a hierarchy of strategic layers linked by cross level gain matrices. Under small gain conditions, the system admits a global Lyapunov function and satisfies selection, tracking, and stochastic stability results at every finite depth. We prove that the class is closed under block extension, innovation events, heterogeneous utilities, continuous strategy spaces, and constitutional evolution. The closure theorem shows that no new dynamics arise at higher levels and that unrestricted self modification cannot preserve Lyapunov structure. The theory unifies results from evolutionary game theory, institutional design, innovation dynamics, and constitutional political economy, providing a general mathematical model of long run strategic adaptation.

Correlation of Rankings in Matching Markets
R\'emi Castera, Patrick Loiseau, Bary S. R. Pradelski
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.05304 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.05304 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.05304
arXiv:2512.05304v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the role of correlation in matching markets, where multiple decision-makers simultaneously face selection problems from the same pool of candidates. We propose a model in which a candidate's priority scores across different decision-makers exhibit varying levels of correlation dependent on the candidate's sociodemographic group. Such differential correlation can arise in school choice due to the varying prevalence of selection criteria, in college admissions due to test-optional policies, or due to algorithmic monoculture, that is, when decision-makers rely on the same algorithms and data sets to evaluate candidates. We show that higher correlation for one of the groups generally improves the outcome for all groups, leading to higher efficiency. However, students from a given group are more likely to remain unmatched as their own correlation level increases. This implies that it is advantageous to belong to a low-correlation group. Finally, we extend the tie-breaking literature to multiple priority classes and intermediate levels of correlation. Overall, our results point to differential correlation as a previously overlooked systemic source of group inequalities in school, university, and job admissions.

“This is illegal. The occupation is illegal.” The International Court of Justice agrees, as has the United Nations, according to numerous resolutions passed starting in 1967. And yet now the Security Council has effectively given Israel’s occupation of Gaza the force of international law."

A journalist's talks with an Iranian hacking leader ended with murder, Hackers attacked Aeroflot's still-insecure infrastructure, The war on disinformation has been dismantled, Trump's DOJ uses Americans' own data to limit voting rights, The Wassenaar Arrangement can help limit spyware exports

"The ultra-wealthy no longer wait in lines, navigate public institutions, or share community space with ordinary Americans. And that’s the real danger: once the richest begin living outside the civic sphere, they stop caring whether the rest of society works at all. A nation where the wealthy secede into a private realm is a nation confronting oligarchy."
**This unspoken threat is hastening America's downfall — and it's not MAGA** - Raw Story
