NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR JUNE 3, 2026:
The #Northland remains #dry Tuesday night with partly #cloudy skies and low #temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
Wednesday will see a southerly #breeze help #warm #highs to the 70s by Lake Superior and 80s elsewhere. An approaching #storm system will increase #cloud cover, with scattered #showers and #thunderstorms arriving by the evening.

“You are the sum total of all of your highs and each of your lows.“ - Futurist Jim Carroll, via Lauren Daigle
Some songs speak to your soul.
And some lyrics reach out and grab you by the throat.
This one did.
It hits you right in the pre-chorus of Lauren Daigle's "You Say." She asks the question: "Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIaT8Jl2zpI
The song came on while I was out for one of my first outdoor walks since my November spinal injury, and it hit the moment perfectly.
My answer to her question is: Yes, you are more—but you are also the sum.
You must accept the lows as a critical part of the process rather than pretending they don't exist. Otherwise, you'll never have the opportunity to learn from them.
In my career as a futurist, I tell clients that innovation isn't a straight line "up and to the right." It’s a messy squiggly line of breakthroughs and failures. You cannot have the "High" of a new invention without the "Low" of the failed prototype.
If you delete the failure, you delete the lesson.
My incident has informed me. It has taught me that the "lows"—the pain, the confinement, the loss of the ski season, the frustration,was not lost time. It was valuable insight.
It was the construction site where my resilience was being reinforced.
Rebar for life, if you think about it!
When life throws you a curveball, you have to live through and feel the emotions, rather than trying to hide from them.
Don't edit out the lows. Own them. They are the only reason the highs mean anything at all.

Futurist Jim Carroll is back out for his regular morning sunrise walks, and is back to the gym. It feels great!

Happy #Wednesday afternoon from the #Northland!
It's a #colder day in the region with #highs in the teens and 20s. At least the #winds are calming down.
Enjoy the #sunshine and #dry conditions. More #snow #showers pass through overnight.

Article: Can AI code an entire optimization model?
In this article we pursue an ambitious goal: Create an entire, non-trivial optimization model using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Our approach mimics a user who is familiar with the situation, and has some experience with formulating optimization models, but is not familiar with implementing an optimization model in Python code. We want the AI to do all the coding for us.
We report our experience of using Copilot to write a model for us. Rather than presenting a verbatim transcript, which is very long, we focus on what went well and what didn't go well as the model evolves. We also summarize general lessons from the process.

Article: Objectives matter: Sorting using a MIP model
We replicate a model by Erwin Kalvelagen at Yet Another Math Programming Consultant (YAMPC), "Sorting using a MIP model".
In this article, we assess the impact of using an alternative objective function in the same model. The idea is to give the HiGHS solver greater traction while working through the solution space, hopefully helping it to solve the model faster. We've found this technique to be useful for some other models – will it help in this situation?

Article: Gerrymandering made easy
In this article, we take a simple approach to modifying a redistricting design. We add a requirement to our model that could be interpreted as either:
- The laudable goal of grouping together "communities of interest" – a common requirement when designing voting districts; or
- A nefarious attempt to manipulate the electoral outcome by gerrymandering.Gerrymandering is the opposite of the model's purpose in our previous article. But, as model designers, we need to be aware that we don't always control the purposes to which decision makers apply our models and decision makers don't always understand the implications of small changes to a model.

Article: Academics, please publish your data and code
Academic research papers can be a valuable source of material for creating and improving real world optimization models. But we wish that academics would publish working code and data to accompany their papers.
In this article:
- Firstly, we briefly look at some reasons why academics might be reluctant to publish their data and code.
- Then we replicate, modify, and explore a published model that has been done well, with the data and program code publicly available.https://www.solvermax.com/blog/academics-please-publish-your-data-and-code

Article: Well, that escalated quickly: Pyomo
We conclude our series of articles to decide the best order for positioning devices in a rack.
This article discusses Model 5, which formulates the situation in Pyomo as a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP). We solve the model using a single instance of Gurobi and parallel instances of the HiGHS solver.
Does this model perform better than the previous methods?

Along with Baker rising to an all-time record high of 109° today, we've had four record-warm lows in Billings (73°), Livingston (68°), Miles City (79°) and Sheridan, WY (70°)! The 79° low in Miles City likely tied its all-time record warm low, too!

Как мы в 2 раза ускорили решение MILP-проблем за счет ML
Многие задачи, с которыми мы имеем дело при цифровизации производства (неважно какого), – это задачи оптимизации: оптимизация производственного расписания, оптимизация цепочек поставок и размещения объектов, оптимизационное планирование и прочее. Многие из них сводятся к проблемам смешанного линейно-целочисленного типа (MILP – Mixed Integer Linear Problem). Конечно же мы хотим их решать быстрее и эффективнее, поэтому год назад начали разработку ML-модулей для этого. В этой статье мы познакомим вас с концептом одного такого модуля – для упрощения MILP методом обнуления переменных – и расскажем о том, насколько нам удалось с его помощью сократить время работы решателя.

Article: 10 times faster, running cases in parallel
In this article, we explore running optimization model cases in parallel. Specifically, we use the Python multiprocessing and mpi4py libraries to fully use the many CPU cores/threads in modern computers.
Our goals are to:
- Illustrate how to apply the multiprocessing and mpi4py libraries to running optimization model cases in parallel.
- Measure the performance of running cases in parallel compared with serially.
- Compare the performance of an old 4 core / 4 thread CPU with a new 20 core / 28 thread CPU, using the HiGHS solver.https://www.solvermax.com/blog/10-times-faster-running-cases-in-parallel

Warehouse space for free: Exogenous enumeration
In this article series, we look at improving the efficiency of a pallet warehouse, where all items are stored on standard-size pallets.
In part 3 of 3, we make some variables exogenous and enumerate all of their combinations. The goal is to make the model solvable at full scale in a reasonable time.
The result is a 200 times improvement in model performance, leading to a 40% improvement in warehouse storage efficiency.
The model is built in Python using Pyomo, and solved with either the Gurobi or HiGHS solvers.

Warehouse space for free: Linearized model
In this article series, we look at improving the efficiency of a pallet warehouse, where all items are stored on standard-size pallets.
In part 2 we linearize our model to, hopefully, make it easier to solve.
The model is built in Python using Pyomo.
