AAAI conference announces a 15% acceptance rate. This is harmful to field. There is much evidence that reviewing process is stochastic. Such a low acceptance rate seems largely a consequence of throwing out 1/2 papers and then reviewing much as previously. AAAI #aaai2022

My son proposed that we plot the set of points (x,y) such that the ones digit of x+y equals the tens digit of x*y. The following beautiful pictures emerged. (The second picture's pixels are colored by the absolute value of the difference.) Have you seen it before?

many associate the term "tsar" automatically with Russia. Bulgarian tsars predated those in Moscow by 600 years. This is Tsarevets, the main hill of Tarnovo, capital of the Second Tsardom. And the strongest symbol of Bulgarian solidarity with Ukraine so far.

I am urging the entire TCS community to attend the TCS for All inspiration talk to be given by Luca Trevisan to honor his contributions and to be there for him and his family at this very difficult time. I will be sharing the registration link shortly. Registration will be free.

Here's my latest attempt to refute the notorious "Orthogonal Vectors Conjecture": eccc.weizmann.ac.il/report/2024/14… We knew if OVC was false, then non-uniform circuit lower bounds would follow. Here we show that its truth would also imply (different) non-uniform circuit lower bounds! (1/2)

SODA25 accepted papers are up. This year SODA has many interesting papers that I want to read. siam.org/conferences-ev…
