Postdoc doing quantum complexity theory at University of Waterloo.

My PhD thesis "Quantum State and Unitary Complexity" is out: https://t.co/5ogXGnyoV3.
Three reasons to look at it even if you're already familiar with my papers:

@PensareBBall Is Julian really that much more talented, or did he just develop in a better environment? (Non-rhetorical question, I don’t have the eye to distinguish.)

@captgouda24 See e.g. https://t.co/t3766w3zl5 for explanations of research-level math to a general audience, or https://t.co/dNbQsV1XB1 for more undergraduate-level concepts.

@captgouda24 One way you know it's not like philosophy is there's never been a Sokal affair for math.

@PensareBBall My basketball IQ isn’y high enough to see the problem with this shot. Open 3 while two Nets players are in the paint seems fine?

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@PensareBBall Quickley needed to move to the corner so Ingram would have a clear pass to Scottie.

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@PensareBBall I wonder why Darko doesn’t replace RJ in the starting lineup with a three point shooter like Ja'Kobe or Gradey (while still playing RJ starters’ minutes). Is it just because preseason is the best time to experiment?

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@robbensinger At least in setups I’ve seen, in Prisoner’s Dilemma you screw over another person by defecting, whereas in Newcomb’s paradox the boxes just sort of materialize out of nowhere.

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@PensareBBall I think you meant “when not if”?

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@PensareBBall And I expect they’ll be even better in future years, with their youth and draft picks. I worry that the Thunder might single-handedly prevent the Raptors from winning a championship in Scottie’s prime.

@goblinodds @LexerLux It takes about n*log(n) friends to cover n days.

@Benthamsbulldog Agh, I’m visiting the US while you’re visiting the UK.

@goblinodds Comedy Cellar

@esrtweet @PstafarianPrice I’ve tried and failed to enjoy cooking for myself, and I’ve lived my adult life in small studio apartments with little room for guests. So as with any other good or service in a capitalist economy, I’m happy to pay someone with a comparative advantage in cooking to do it for me.

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@ArmandDoma @asymmetricinfo Maybe because he seems more focused on economics than on culture-war issues?

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@goblinodds I live in Cambridge (UK), happy to meet up if he’s ever in the vicinity.

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@QuantumMemeing Presumably there’s someone at the conference who you can report this sort of harassment to?

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@SarahTheHaider Adding tomboys to male-only groups never changed the vibe when I was a kid, except for conversations about sexuality at a certain age. Out of curiosity I looked at the replies to see what specifically I’m overlooking, and was disappointed that no one even tried to explain this.

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@razibkhan I think people who self-select into pure math rather than physics tend to be less interested in the external world to begin with (and more generally, less interested in problems that aren’t precisely defined).

[Greg Rosenthal @gregrosent]

@windyneoneocon @noampomsky Same. This caveat is too big for me to answer the poll.
