(Intent-to-nominate letters due by July 31.)

Congratulations, looks amazing!

One of my favorite algorithms to teach!!

Joachim Favre is an *amazing* undergrad at EPFL that has taken notes for all courses he took as a Bachelor student in CS and he continues to do so as a Master student in Quantum. I'd expect the notes to be often better than those of the profs ;)

The submission server for #FOCS2025 is now open! Submit your work: focs25.hotcrp.com

Looks like a 100% biased letter to me

Works like a dream like usual!

Brilliant, that seems to work better. Can you now delete the tweet announcing this secret server? :)

PS. Shouldn't there be a simple load-balancing protocol so that there could be a single URL to enter?

Does anyone know what happened to DBLP? It is very slow for me these days.

Good morning!

And newly hired Andres Christi!

Postdoc positions @ EPFL (soft deadline Jan 20) available in vibrant theory group that covers complexity, quantum, algorithms, theory of ML ... and includes faculty E. Abbe, A. Chiesa, F. Eisenbrand, M. Göös, M. Kapralov, O. Svensson, and last but not least T. Vidick.

Thanks for mentioning me. I am pretty excited about this and what you are doing, and I think the impact of these tools on teaching can be significant.

That's a great group of colleagues. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Euiwoong recently and with Nikhil in the past.
