In New Jersey; also minor stuff
May. 5th, 2019 06:22 pmSo I ended up leaving in Ann Arbor in a bit more of a hurry than I would've liked and didn't really get a chance to say goodbye to a lot of people. Unfortunately, basically none of those people read this. Still, hey, if you find this -- and didn't already see it on Facebook or Twitter -- goodbye to my Ann Arbor friends!
Anyway, yeah, I'm in New Jersey now. Staying here with my parents for about a month, should be moving to New York properly come June.
(Annoyingly, USPS considers Escher House to be a business address and refuses to forward mail from there. Better hope I catch *all* the changes of address I'll need to do...)
I tossed out almost all of my old paper math notes in the move; I basically never consult those anymore now that I've gotten pretty good about writing down anything noteworthy I've found in my computerized notes. Those are pretty disorganized too, of course, but it's better than trying to look through my paper notes. (Of course, oftentimes the computerized notes only have sketches of proofs, but, let's be honest, it's probably still easier to reconstruct a full proof from the sketch than it'd be to understand it from where I did it on paper.)
There's more I could say, but I'm tired right now. So, some quick notes on math stuff:
1. My paper on the integer defect has been accepted by the Moscow Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory! Really need to get back to work on integer complexity stuff, but my debugger work takes up so much time right now...
2. You know that "problem dump" area on my website? I decided to expand it to cover more things, basically any problem that I thought about but didn't get much of anywhere on, to make sure these ideas didn't get lost. (Well, I guess it's still not everything, but it's most of it; there's some stuff I'm leaving out for now.) Note that in some cases I just linked to where I'd asked the question on MathOverflow, rather than a separate page on it. But the reason I mention this now is because I realized the other day that I'd forgotten to include a page on the classical multiple-measurements model and the search problem for it, so, well, now that's there.
3. Speaking of the problem dump, I recently came across this paper, which has some relation to the snake problem I wrote about. Maybe I should contact the authors...
(Next time, finally, Satan's Apple? We'll see, I guess.)
