NY Phil opens Shanghai Summer Music Festival with French Impressionism Works
Shanghaiâs annual Music in the Summer Air (MISA) opens today. This yearâs opening concert features Salonen conducting the NY Philharmonic. The program ensembles a luxurious night packed with some of 20th-centuryâs most color-saturated orchestral music: Ravelâs Ma MĂŠre lâOye Debussyâs La Mer Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique NY Philâs musicians has amazing technique (of course) â like in Ma mère lâOye, the orchestra sounds like itâs breathing in watercolor. Both Ravel and Salonen tonight are really masters of delicate textures....

3 Tips for Good Theory Slides & Talks
Here are three immensely useful tips my advisors gave me: Word Upperbound per Slide Aim for no more than three bullet points per slide, with six words per point. This isnât a strict rule, but itâs a great standard and minimalistic ethos to follow whenever possible. Structure: Readability + Math This is a more advanced technique, but incredibly helpful for theoretical econ talks. Try to layer your slides with two different levels of information....

In Memory of čĄćž (Chua Lam)
ćĽä¸ćĽčĄŁč˘ďźä¸ĺ¸Śčľ°ä¸çäşĺ˝Š (I wave my sleeves. Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away) Chua Lam, the beloved food critic and cultural icon based in Hong Kong, passed away today. His deep love for food went beyond appetiteâit shaped a way of living. A philosophy that was unique, profound, popular, and deeply worth remembering. Rest in peace. Wish heaven (or anywhere youâre in) have great food. I donât think I can explain the essence of this wise manâs worldview in a single paragraph....
A pink, minimalistic beamer latex template on overleaf
I designed a beamer latex template. Hereâs the overleaf link and hereâs the demo pdf. See the pdf for other pages of the demo. Design idea: Use the Poppins typeface â itâs a round, sans-serif font.

Minimalistic functions: I disabled navigation toolbar and the page that list references....

What piece would you choose as your graduation day bgm?
Approximation Algorithm for RMAB
The paper âApproximation Algorithms for Restless Bandit Problemsâ by Guha, Munagala, Shi (2009) designed a $2 + \epsilon$-approximation algorithm for a special class of RMAB (âFeedback MABâ, and generalized to âMonotone MABâ). The algorithm is fundamentally different to the classical Whittle Index. The paperâs analysis uses a duality-based algorithmic techniqueâit is vastly different compared with Weber (1988)âs proof for RMABâs asymptotic optimality, hence the $2 + \epsilon$ approximation outcome doesnât requires asymptotic....
