Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.

Of course I have.

The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.

Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

We start the second day of CPAIOR 2025 with an invited talk shared with ICAPS. Hanna Kurniawati talks about how the uncertainty of the real-world makes decision-making for robots challenging, and what strategies can be used to tackle it.

Studium: Wie Mitschreiben in der Vorlesung auch etwas bringt: Notizblock oder Laptop? Bulletpoints oder wörtliche Zitate? Wie man in Vorlesungen mitschreibt, ohne den Faden zu verlieren – mit Notizen, die später wirklich etwas bringen.

The simplex algorithm is super efficient. 80 years of experience says it runs in linear time. Nobody can explain _why_ it is so fast.

We invented a new algorithm analysis framework to find out.
Beyond Smoothed Analysis: Analyzing the Simplex Method by the Book
Narrowing the gap between theory and practice is a longstanding goal of the algorithm analysis community. To further progress our understanding of how algorithms work in practice, we propose a new alg...

Ich werde nie begreifen, warum so viele Deutsche den Sozialstaat als Feind betrachten. Er ist die unvollkommene, aber größte Errungenschaft dieses Landes, indem er Not lindert und Gerechtigkeit und sozialen Frieden fördert. Wir brauchen mehr davon, nicht weniger.

Authors generating pieces of their paper with LLMs: this is saving some research time in the same way throwing garbage out the window is saving home chore time.
And yes the comparison is exactly my feeling after the tenth useless adjective and repeated sentence.
