If you use dim. reduction, you may be interested in two recent preprints we've posted on contrastive PCA:
The Rayleigh Quotient and Contrastive Principal Component Analysis I & II
w/ @MariaCarilli & Kayla Jackson. They cover a lot of ground from theory to practice. 1/🧵

Here it is! Bonsai. No more excuse to use t-SNE/UMAP. Bonsai not only makes cool pictures of your data. It actually rigorously preserves its structure. No tunable parameters. Absolutely incredible work of @dhdegroot.bsky.social. I'm so excited about this. https://t.co/GXY272qHUV

@LudgerWess @roberthabeck Der Titel des Handelsblatt-Artikels ist insofern irreführend, als er suggeriert, dass die reale Wirkung des Kohleausstiegs verpufft. Natürlich hat es aber einen Effekt auf reale Emissionen, wenn ein Kohlekraftwerk abgestellt wird, unabhängig davon, wie das abgerechnet wird.

Very unlikely Musk's suit is bespoke because it has low armholes. This is causing the entire jacket to lift as he raises his arms (look at the area known as the skirt, which is next to his hips). Compare it to Cagney's suit, which is mostly still.

Here's the thing. We have **NO IDEA** how to pick good graduate students. I served on admission committees for 10+ years, and chaired a few, and what I learned is that all the spreadsheets of grades and test scores and recommendations and essays and publications and interview rubrics are just an elaborate ruse to pretend we know what we're doing when we simply don't. Many of the most highly ranked applicants to our "top" program flamed out quickly, and tons of the students we summarily rejected have turned into amazing scientists. But in the name of creating meritocratic seeming rankings that are more about creating a workforce than great scientists (a system that anyone paying attention knows is bullshit), we've created a homogenous process adopted by nearly all institutions that has stamped out the one thing we should be striving for - given our lack of any clear understanding of what leads to success - a wide range of difference talents and experiences.

14. We are so far beyond the decorous debates of the past between liberals and conservatives that we need a whole new vocabulary to describe accurately the kind of people Trump wants in his administration.

The edgeR differential analysis tool has been updated to version 4.0., and this update features support for isoform-level DE, which is important functionality that can be used for #scRNAseq (via pseudobulk). Great to see that transcript-level analysis has become mainstream. 1/🧵

I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.

@merszym This looks great!

I reached out to a source close to the Ukrainian drone programme about these claims.

They confirmed Starlink had been previously enabled in the area in question - which is why Ukraine had used USVs that relied on Starlink for navigation - and that Musk had "turned it off".
