  1. Is it possible the solution was right there all along??

    I've been on-and-off tweaking the #radar #scheduling #optimization #constraintprogramming #python #software project to include routing

    I kept finding that routing takes longer to figure out than pure packing--no surprise.

    But this was even the case when the constraints put on the routing were extremely minimal.

    This made me wonder how much actual optimization was happening in the NON-routing case. As it turns out, none. If it doesn't have to do any work, it goes fast.

    Sounds pretty obvious, but it's very helpful. Why? See next toot.

  6. Thank the goddesses for my recent attempts at #music transcription and also for #adhd #rx

    My #constraintprogramming #radar #scheduling talk is in *gulp* two weeks. My rough draft is due FRIDAY.

    5 years ago, I spent a week in front of blank slides, sometimes in tears, unable to even conceive of a method by which I could start.

    Earlier this week, I did at least manage to gather a lot of content slides from other decks but as of this morning it was all just a jumble.

    This morning I took a two-pronged approach

    1. Clear the runway: Do dumb things like checking my inbox, getting a drink and music squared away, etc first. THEN take meds and dive in as they ramp up.

    2. I was having trouble getting started but also specifically having trouble with the start of the slides. But there's no reason the first slide in the deck has to be the first one created.

    For the song I've been working on transcribing, I gave up on "note by note from the beginning" approach. Instead I found spots where it was easy to figure out (single sustained notes, simple melodic progressions, etc). Then I tied those together knowing where the mystery passage had to start and end.

    Why not do the same thing with PowerPoint? I definitely know what I want to say in the "design proposal" section. And I think I know what some future work will be. Start with those parts!

    That only took like 30 minutes. And with that out of the way, it looked a lot more do-able to find some points to make in the "how did we get here" section.

    I now have a (very) rough draft of the talk!

  7. One month left to apply!

    If you are looking for a PhD position and are interested in working on probabilistic inference, sensitivity analysis, and decision-making, this might be the job for you! We are looking for candidates with a strong background in Computer Science, and ideally also in Mathematics.

    Please apply by 31 August. We're looking forward to reading your application!
