As a writer you live in hope that one day you will walk into a bookstore and be a staff pick. So thank you Books Inc. 📚🌉, Berkeley, for making my day. (And thanks for keeping it, next to a solitary copy of the book, for TEN YEARS.)
This was awesome BTW! Thanks to the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing and to everyone that turned up and made it brilliant! 100 people!! John von Neumann's such a draw! Even without a Nolan biopic!
Mathematicians have made the first substantial progress in 80 years on understanding points in the plane that are integer distances apart -- my latest for Quanta Magazine quantamagazine.org/merging-fields…
Yunchao Liu kicking off the miniworkshop on near term quantum!
A new Era begins

The registration for STOC 2024 is open.

In addition to the STOC 2024 paper talks (of course!), featuring keynote talks by Michal Feldman, Jakub Pachocki, and Tim Roughgarden. And workshops (see next post, margins too small to write here).

Thanks to the close to 100 people who showed up for our first-ever *upstairs* public lecture — Ananyo Bhattacharya's book talk on The Man from the Future, an intellectual biography of John van Neumann.
Russell Impagliazzo’s playful framing of the biggest problems in computational complexity theory has inspired a generation of researchers. For Quanta Magazine, I spoke to him about hypothetical worlds, randomness, improv comedy, and more: quantamagazine.org/the-researcher…
Some characteristically complicated gesticulation by me at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing panel on Computer Science journalism last week. Video recording coming soon!
