You can bound Rényi divergences in terms of KL divergences for tilted distributions. This is useful e.g. for Gaussians, where tilting just corresponds to shifting the distribution.

It’s by no means something they had to do! The American Physical Society has kept their DEI pages up. I think I might write them an email to thank them

I meant the final grade is a number rather than a letter. Anything in between 85-100, or 90-100, or 93-100, whatever, is an A, but 95 is not equal to 96, 97, 98, 99, 100. Granularity helps.

Grading on a 0–100 scale partially mitigates the problem

And waiting to be optimized after turning 35

I still recall this one as my high school homework problem :)
