I recently completed my PhD thesis, where I developed algorithms for making geometric inferences from imperfect data (i.e. incomplete and inaccurate observations/representations of shapes, like broken meshes or point clouds). A thread 🧵:

But Trump ran on bringing down food prices! So on Feb 1 2025, he re-opened US ports to cattle imports from Mexico. Then in March, he canceled a screwworm monitoring program. So we have even less info on where it is & how serious it's getting. www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

📣 Titanium Court is OUT NOW! ⚾ To the detriment of humanity, the IGF award-winning game has escaped to Steam “Delightfully weird” and "incredibly clever" have been used to describe this game. We wouldn't dare to try... Stop reading this and play the game!👇 🏰 bit.ly/TC-Steam

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

Logarithmic maps are incredibly useful for algorithms on surfaces--they're local 2D coordinates centered at a given source. Yousuf Soliman and I found a better way to compute log maps w/ fast short-time heat flow in "The Affine Heat Method" presented @ SGP2025 today! 🧵
