A control engineer, a gedankenexperimentalist, and a part-time commentator who thinks he is an expert in everything else. On a quest (& failing) to be a mensch.

Nothing has changed since the last time I checked twitted 4 months ago. Hang on, something has, our paper on "loss-less" sampling of polynomial trajectories for LTL verification is accepted in Theoretical Computer Science. https://t.co/1K1ORMHN1Y

@lreyzin @AgnesCallard Ulysses. I have tried so many times to make sense of it. I am sure the fault is mine.

@CSSIEEE @alexolshevsky1 I am slightly terrified of a forum for real-time discussion....

Came across this Churchill's memo on brevity while listening to The Splendid and The Vile audiobook. Everyone (esp academics and the admins) should read it.

We don't require functions to be strongly convex or differentiable and we study what happens if we use a dual method over a network where the processor's communication/computations are out of whack. I really like it. It took us a long time to make it readable.

I don't know how but I ended up browsing the ADL's hate symbols database. Holy shhhhhhhh.....

@MatMcGann also a>1 (not >0) to ensure that we have an exponential growth in the "model".

[Iman Shames @eemensch]

@MatMcGann Now what I explained above is just a toy example to explain an idea. Things are more complicated in general.

If you’re storming a parliament with people wearing “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirts, you know what side you’re on...

These are the faces of hatred and extremism.
