Birds of a Feather: A Multidisciplinary Review of Neural, Evolutionary, and Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Similarity-Based Interpersonal Attraction

People tend to befriend and marry people who resemble them. The finding is old and well replicated, but its explanations are scattered: social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral genetics and computational social science have each built their own account and rarely cit...

The unsupervised deployment gap in generative AI for mental health

Evidence about artificial intelligence in mental health and the deployment of artificial intelligence in mental health concern two different objects, and the first is routinely cited to justify the second. The evidence base is forty randomized trials pooling to g = 0.31 for depre...

Self-Destructive Drive as a Mechanism of Agonistic Flow in Extreme Human Performance

This paper proposes agonistic flow as a distinct cognitive state accessed through sustained voluntary confrontation with physiological limits, integrating Csikszentmihalyi's flow theory, Dietrich's transient hypofrontality hypothesis, and Noakes's central governor model. We defin...

Semantic Segmentation of Aerial Imagery on a Consumer GPU with a From-Scratch Residual U-Net

We present swath, an open-source pipeline for semantic segmentation of aerial and satellite imagery that covers the full workflow from raw data to georeferenced predictions. The system trains a residual U-Net from random initialization on the LoveDA benchmark, deliberately avoidi...
