SIGBOVIK deadline makes the doppler noise as it rushes past me (31 Mar at 22:38)
Hi! Bad deadline timing here: I'm going to stay up late finishing my SIGBOVIK paper for the real extended deadline, but this uses exactly the same minutes and the brain sugars that I would use to write a blog post. So I'm going to conserve those for the paper-finishing.

I will, however, preview that I will put the paper here: tom7.org/ruperts when I submit the conference version. Spoiler alert: This is not some epic hack; I tried to solve an already known math problem (but one that is appealing and upsetting) and (surprise) didn't succeed. Since it's a geometry problem, the visuals are fairly important and the video will probably be the best way to consume it.

I'll get around to reading the paper maybe sometime before the video comes out. I skipped to the end and was not disappointed:

“Robustness”. BoVeX no longer crashes programs like Adobe Acrobat that expect the PDFs to be “correct.” LOL!!

Keep up the good work :)

Sorry! The online presence was weak this year (see e.g. website), which is a bit sad to me since we do get a lot of submissions from outside CMU these days. The conference did happen, though, and it seemed pretty healthy.

I am working on a video and it will be better than my SIGBOVIK talk was. But now that there are no deadlines I am taking my time (:

The video gives a great intuition, even before you read the paper.

YOU DON'T MISS!! Thanks for the great post and looking forward to the video. These long-form, funny-yet-educational project blog posts really do it for me. Do you know anyone else that makes content like this?
