The Number Go Up Rule: Why America Refuses to Fix Anything
In the Booming Twenties, all decision-making is about protecting the value of financial assets held by older people. Therefore, the number must go up. And nothing else matters.

IP2: Entity-Guided Interest Probing for Personalized News Recommendation
News recommender systems aim to provide personalized news reading experiences for users based on their reading history. Behavioral science studies suggest that screen-based news reading contains three successive steps: scanning, title reading, and then clicking. Adhering to these steps, we find that intra-news entity interest dominates the scanning stage, while the inter-news entity interest guides title reading and influences click decisions. Unfortunately, current methods overlook the unique …

Juniper was always the Dungeon Master, never the player. He was always a creator of worlds rather than the one who walked within them…until now. Somehow, the tables have turned in the most dramatic way possible. Juniper finds himself in a world filled with the wildest fantasies a mind could come up with, and his fingerprints are all over it. Throughout this world, echoes of his own ideas and plots leave him feeling like he’s always one step behind. He finds bits and pieces of ancient infl…

In this paper, we propose a class of elementary plane geometry problems closely related to the title of this paper. Here, a circle is the 1-dimensional curve bounding a disk. For any nonnegative integer, a circle is called $n$-enclosing if it contains exactly $n$ lattice points on the $xy$-plane in its interior. The main questions are when the largest $n$-enclosing circle exists and what the largest radius is. We study the small integer cases by hand and extend to all $n<1100$ with the aid of a…

Quite extensive writeup on the whole W/X situation, the title suggesting too political of a discussion - I do recommend reading through it, neglecting stances, and just seeing where the projects stand.
To be clear, I do not endorse or judge anything here. It helps getting an overview. In the end, there are too many aspects, and deciding for either solution requires you to consider your personal preferences and priorities.
