Briefings
The author reflects on a historic week marked by the wife Dana's public lecture on the Unique Games Conjecture and a US election where Democrats recaptured both houses of Congress. The text contrasts this political success with the author's personal trauma from the Interstellar movie, noting that the election outcome was not due to selling souls to techbros or Zionists but rather to anti-MAGA sentiment. The author also discusses a recent election in Israel, praying for a coalition between moderate Jewish and Arab parties to topple Netanyahu, while acknowledging the moral and political complexities of the situation.
Key points
- Dana gave a 3-hour public lecture on OpenAI's proof of the Unique Games Conjecture, attended by nearly 200 people in person or via Zoom.
- Democrats recaptured both houses of Congress in the US election, a result attributed to anti-MAGA sentiment rather than selling souls to techbros or Zionists.
