Anyone else having trouble with Delta website? It keeps throwing an error saying "last name cannot be left blank" when trying to pay, even though all the info is there! What a waste of time-wonder who unleashes untested websites like this!

Meta-reviewer boldly claims that our entire theorem is wrong by providing a "counterxample" wherein they claim S=[1 0; 0 -2] to be a positive definite matrix, while denouncing our claims to be false!! 🤯Are you sure you want to be meta-reviewing? Please be more considerate.

Decided not to AC for NeurIPS Conference this year -- ACing burnout from doing this for too many confs per year....on top, #COVID19 is disrupting too many things right now....

Author of "chloroquine" studies faked data and ... guess what, has a history of faking data in his publications. Retweet.

Hi, any advice on how to deal with The Home Depot making it a nightmare to have Washer/Dryer installed (maybe #COVID19 making it harder). HD keeps promising to "call back" but nvr does! should've used Lowe's! #regret Is The Home Depot well-known to be so unfriendly, esp. these days?

Check out the simplest derivation of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method in my student Kwangjun's work: arxiv.org/abs/2005.08304 -- it provides an intuitive way to obtain Nesterov's AGD (so it's not just about analyzing the AGD iteration, but discovering it in the first place!)

Finally, after several years of searching, we have found a provable (and implementable) analog of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for Riemannian manifolds. Amazing effort by Kwangjun Ahn, appearing in COLT 2020. arxiv.org/abs/2001.08876

Question: Does it make sense to rename the The White House? (This might be naive thinking but it seems like it may send a strong symbolic message if implemented.) #BLM
