Vice President Kamala Harris will be ready to serve on day one. Let’s make her president.

1) This is an actual photo of a 15,000-person crowd for Harris-Walz in Michigan 2) Trump has still not campaigned in a swing state in over a week... Low energy?

Our statement on... whatever that was

Join us in congratulating Viswanath Nagarajan for his recently awarded U.S. National Science Foundation grant! His project will aim to develop advanced algorithms for stochastic optimization, tackling a fundamental challenge in algorithm design: uncertainty in input parameters. ioe.engin.umich.edu/2024/08/13/nag…

Trump: “$35 insulin... I did that. I did the insulin” Fact check: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, Biden-Harris did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 wants to repeal it, which would raise insulin costs for over a million

Trump’s audience is exiting as he rambles incoherently in Pennsylvania, leaving even more empty seats

Vice President Harris: On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America

Things like this tend to happen for people who live in Connecticut but run for the Senate in Pennsylvania.

Excited to release Part I of Optimizing with Column Generation. Not a draft. Two years of hard work led to 300 pages covering CG principles in depth. Check …imizingWithColumnGeneration.github.io Your feedback will help us with the forthcoming Part II on advanced techniques!

BREAKING: In an horrible moment, Donald Trump claims the staff, who tend to the cemetery that is the resting place for those who served our nation, are bad people. This is as unpatriotic and un-American as it gets. Retweet so all Americans see this.

This is the coolest "application" of LLMs I have seen in a while: instead of using an LLM to solve a problem set, flip the table and ask the student to TEACH the LLM how to solve the problem set. Really lovely. Thx to Jordan Hoffmann for sharing this :-). youtube.com/watch?v=om7VpI…

Periodic reminder that at my website you can find over 1000 pages of lecture notes on algorithms, data science, game theory, market and mechanism design, blockchain protocols, and more (see replies for link)

My son and I loved Twenty-sided Tavern. Adding Felicia Day🇺🇸 is awesome! I wish we could see it again, but travel precludes another NYC trip.

It is my distinct pleasure to announce that Martin Savelsbergh is the winner of the 2024 TSL Society Robert Herman Lifetime Achievement Award! We will celebrate with Martin at the TSL Business Meeting, held Monday evening during the INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle. Join us!

This is a very cool result. I wonder what is the 100 node TSP with the most necessary subtour constraints (given the computational tests such most have very few).

New research: U.S. presidential election could be swayed by as few as 50,000 voters strategically relocating less than 100 miles. Our study explores how small, coordinated movements can boost a candidate's chance by up to 8%. Read more in "The Sensitivity of the U.S. Presidential

I'm sad to share that John D.C. Little, a long-time member of the MIT Sloan community, passed away on September 27, 2024. He made huge contributions to Operations Research, including the famous Little’s Law. RIP John. deefuneralhome.com/obituaries/Joh…

I've seen enough. Follow me on blue sky bsky.app/profile/miketr… I'll keep my Michael Trick account here, but all #orms posts, likes, etc. will be in the other site.

I no longer post here but will make an exception to acknowledge the passing of Hugh Bradley, instrumental in TIMS, ORSA, INFORMS INFORMS and particularly IFORS IFORS as treasurer through a key period. I will miss him greatly. vacahillschapel.com/obituary/hugh-…
