“Why would you ruin your career? … If you don’t want me to be nice, then I don’t have to be nice.” Thuggish behaviour described on the part of OpenAI. As an academic, do you really want to be in the room with these people? Does what’s described here reflect your standards? #LLM #MathSky

Like seriously, if you use LLMs to write text, you're intentionally DDoS-ing those of us who don't....

and hey it turns out that the industry is quite happy to pay millions of dollars for open source code! just not to its developers. no, all that money goes to fucking GOOGLE AND MICROSOFT because they're the ones operating the vacuum cleaners. fucking ludicrous state of affairs.

The Four Color Theorem with Linearly Many Reducible Configurations and Near-Linear Time Coloring
We give a near-linear time 4-coloring algorithm for planar graphs, improving on the previous quadratic time algorithm by Robertson et al. from 1996. Such an algorithm cannot be achieved by the known p...

I am happy to share my latest work ``Folding Mixed-Integer Linear Programs and Reflection Symmetries'', where I formulate two new presolving techniques for handling symmetries in linear programs and mixed-integer linear programs. Check out the preprint here: lnkd.in/efgYeVSJ lnkd.in/eGpim7U9

The order 'objective - constraints - variables' that academic papers use to describe mathematical optimization problems is inconvenient, as it places the objective before you even know what the variables are. Wouldn't 'variables - constraints - objective' be a more natural progression?

130k Lines of Formal Topology in Two Weeks: Simple and Cheap Autoformalization for Everyone?
This is a brief description of a project that has already autoformalized a large portion of the general topology from the Munkres textbook (which has in total 241 pages in 7 chapters and 39 sections)....

The SCIP 10 optimization suite has many new interesting features and is fully open source. For binaries and downloads, check www.scipopt.org/index.php#do...

SCIP
A similar technique is used for solving both Integer Programs and Constraint Programs: the problem is successively divided into smaller subproblems (branching) that are solved recursively.

I shouldn't be surprised by this, but I just learned that Nvidia and AMD both disable FP64 performance units in their consumer cards so scientists and companies have to buy the high end ones at 5-10x the price. It's a valid business model but unfortunate for hobbyists like me who just want to try.

Does there exist a commonly used public instance benchmark set for robust optimization? Or sets of instances which are frequently used within the literature?

After attempting to tune MIR cuts in SCIP for 3.5 days, I understand better why people are willing to pay so much for a commercial MIP solver license.
