After 40 years with slow-moving algorithms, two teams of researchers have generated historical speed-ups. It’s “a milestone few would have predicted even a couple of years ago,” said mathematician Anton Bernshteyn.

Until now, the only known algorithms for accomplishing some computations required an amount of space roughly proportional to their runtime. The computer scientist Ryan Williams has found a way to do any computation using much less space. www.quantamagazine.org/for-algorith...

#STOC2025 "will feature an online poster session, designed to engage both in-person attendees and members of the broader community who are unable to attend the conference physically."

Curious what theory folks think about using OpenReview for conferences like FOCS/STOC/SODA/ICALP—especially to enable public reviews. If you’ve used it as a PC chair, how hard was it to configure to fit our needs compared to HotCRP or EasyChair?

Cornell, Maryland, Max Planck Pre-doctoral Research School in Computer Science (CMMRS) is now open for applications cmmrs.mpi-sws.org Two students of my team attended the 2022 and 2024 editions and I strongly recommend.

We all focus on doing exciting research ... but from time to time, it's nice to step back and try to build things that are just useful according to whatever metric you care about, even if it's not easy to convince the PC that they are novel enough. From 2025 Most Influential POPL Paper Award.
