Had an interview with Jane Street in 2026...

...the other kind of interview😂

[Yaron (Ron) Minsky @yminsky]

Much fun talking with @natefoster about networks, BGP, programming languages, formal methods, and what it's like being a visiting researcher at Jane Street.

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

[Nate Foster @natefoster]

As always, research is more fun with friends...

Congratulations to Dr. Mark Moeller! He wrote a very nice PhD dissertation and passed his B-exam (Cornell-speak for "dissertation defense") with flying colors. He'll start as an Assistant Professor at Holy Cross in a few months...

Can’t wait to read Pope Leo’s hot take on the arXiv’s code of conduct!

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, on preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence, will be released on May 25. A presentation event with the Pope and various speakers is scheduled for the same day at the Vatican.
