Computer Science Academic with interest in everything.
What isn't remembered never happened. Memory is merely a record. You just need to re-write that record.
Similarly, the increase in generative AI is really scary for me. Not because of some terminator stuff.
For some people in our society understanding "social" text is really difficult. You might now that an email starts with some wage formality, has some context encoded in more pleasantries and ends with some more formality. Parsing the actual content and meaning behind this can be difficult for me. Adding more ways to add new, generated pleasantries could make this much more difficult.
I wish there were a place in the academy for people who learn hard things and then write better books and give talks and exposit, since I really think that's where my skills naturally lie. I love convincing people that hard math doesn't have to be scary.
Well, once I have tenure maybe I can do a 180 and start writing expository books. Or maybe by then I'll be less insecure about doing research and I won't want to anymore! Who's to say, haha.
@[email protected] @matrix @[email protected] https://element.io/blog/the-online-safety-bill-an-attack-on-encryption gives an idea of our position. And no, there are no backdoors. Yes, we fund Matrix dev by selling encrypted messaging services to governments, which includes police: if you don’t like that then please feel free to use a different app.

fun safe math optimizations you say 🤔
Finally, a solution to the unfairness of authorship ordering in scientific papers! 😂
"Every Author as First Author"
We propose a new standard for writing author names on papers and in bibliographies, which places every author as a first author -- superimposed. This approach enables authors to write papers as true equals, without any advantage given to whoever's name happens to come first alphabetically (for example). We develop the technology for implementing this standard in LaTeX, BibTeX, and HTML; show several examples; and discuss further advantages.
