We are announcing three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics about harmonic analysis, complexity theory, and quantum field theory.

I spent a humiliating amount of time learning how to make animated graphs, just to illustrate a fairly obvious point.
“Forecasting s-curves is hard”
My views on why carefully following daily figures is unlikely to provide insight.

With my physicist hat on, I feel like this is a good time to remind people that Navier-Stokes is physically meaningless at the scales where there might be a mathematical singularity

When I read old CS papers, I'm hit with nostalgia of a time I didn't even live through.
Things were just expressed so simply back then. I wonder why papers are so different today... either (a) an explosion of complexity in the field, or (b) research getting inundated with pseudo-intellectuals who just want to sound fancy.
This paper from the 70s tells you, in a single picture, what TPUs are going to be 50 years later.

rare photo a C. R. Rao with Sir R. Fisher taken in 1956.
An explanation of CR Rao 1945 celebrated paper (CR lower bound+Blackwell-Rao+Fisher-Rao geometry):

The true measure of a software engineer isn't their ability to write clever code. It's their ability to ruthlessly protect the codebase from unnecessary cleverness.

Reminds me of when downloading mp3 files was banned. Some grandma somewhere is gonna download a Qwen and catch federal charges, but this won't change most people's behavior.

I am advertising for a fully funded 3.5 year PhD (with enhanced yearly stipend) exploring accelerating HPC algorithms on AI accelerators such as including @cerebras and @tenstorrent . @EPCCed is the UK national supercomputing centre, lots of exciting things going on!
Fully-funded EPCC PhD: investigate the potential of novel accelerators. Run in collaboration with AWE, who will provide real world mini-applications and algorithms of genuine scientific interest.
Applicants must be UK nationals.
Apply by 28 May 2026.

Nice paper from some colleagues, formal proving still alive and kicking!

Conducted 2 technical interviews today. Reminded me how serious of a task this is.
You get to decide potentially the next n number of years the person you are interviewing within the span of 30 minutes or so.
I have nothing but hate towards those who conduct interviews without a care asking dumb leetcode hard questions they themselves couldn’t solve if the shoe was on the other foot.

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.
