- It was fun to reminisce about the old days, but also fun to learn new things from a former student, and Clément @ccanonne.bsky.social. So much of math happens communally, doesn't it? Being in the same place at the same time. Many thanks to @sydmathinst.bsky.social for sparking our collaboration.
- Reposted by Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI)New paper from my time in Sydney. And cool story about its origin: at SMRI, I bumped into another visitor, Salil, who had been a student in a course I taught way back in grad school! He's now an expert in an area of CS known as differential privacy. After attending one of my talks, Salil realized...
