"In a blog post announcing Sora, OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman suggested that the app is like “ChatGPT for creativity” and could radically transform the arts in a Cambrian explosion-type moment. In my two weeks on the app, at times I found it entertaining. But mostly it was brain rot: hypnotizing and mindless."

PIPQ: Strict Insert-Optimized Concurrent Priority Queue
This paper presents PIPQ, a strict and linearizable concurrent priority queue whose design differs from existing solutions in literature because it focuses on enabling parallelism of insert operations as opposed to accelerating delete-min operations, as traditionally done. In a nutshell, PIPQ's structure includes two levels: the worker level and the leader level. The worker level provides per-thread data structures enabling fast and parallel insertions. The leader level contains the highest pri…

Improved Approximation Guarantees and Hardness Results for MNL-Driven Product Ranking
In this paper, we address open computational questions regarding the market share ranking problem, recently introduced by Derakhshan et al. (2022). Their modelling framework incorporates the extremely popular Multinomial Logit (MNL) choice model, along with a novel search-based consider-then-choose paradigm. In a nutshell, the authors devised a Pandora's-Box-type search model, where different customer segments sequentially screen through a ranked list of products, one position after the other, …
