In 1936, Alan Turing conceived of hypothetical machines that could help mathematically model the process of computation. Built from just three parts, Turing machines can in principle compute the answer to any solvable problem. www.quantamagazine.org/amateur-math...

Really funny how CNN set up this very fun interactive site to show how ranked-choice voting works, with lots of flavors in the mix, and after all is said and done, the two final contenders are…chocolate (51.4%) and Vanilla (48.6%). Almost like Rs and Ds.

Get the scoop on how ranked-choice voting works
Get a taste of how ranked-choice voting works by ranking your five favorite ice cream flavors. Then follow along as the votes get counted and we find out which flavor tops the cone.

Given this, I thought I'd write a thread about matrix multiplication (MM) complexity, starting with Strassen's result, and going from there!
Let ω = inf{ω' > 0, for all ε > 0, there exists an O(n^(ω'+ε))-
time algorithm to solve matrix multiplication}.
We know 2 < ω ≤ 3, and many conjecture ω = 2.

It is not "attribution and sourcing" to generate post-hoc citations that have not been read and did not inform the student's writing. Those should be regarded as fraudulent: artifacts testifying to human actions and thought that did not occur.

I decided to take time to reflect on my summer travel to STOC, EC, and CMMRS, and I wrote a blog post about my experiences!
I hope to make the funding opportunities that made my travel possible known to other undergrads. Most are Colorado/CU Boulder specific, but similar sources exist elsewhere!

Thank you to the organizers, especially Lorenzo Alvisi (Cornell) and Peter Druschel (MPI-SWS)!

I’m excited to attend my first STOC this year on a grant funded by the Boettcher Foundation.
I’m relatively new to the broader theoretical CS community as a fourth-year undergrad, so I’m looking forward to meeting people here, especially fellow students!
I’d love to meet people in the same boat!

Kimbrel's receipt of this honor is well-deserved! To celebrate, I'll discuss the matrix multiplication verification problem and his improvement with R.K. Sinha [KS93] to Freivalds' algorithm [Fre79].
More improvements are ongoing work, joint with @huckbennett.bsky.social and @noahsd.bsky.social!
