Review for NeurIPS paper: Finding Second-Order Stationary Points Efficiently in Smooth Nonconvex Linearly Constrained Optimization Problems

Neural Information Processing Systems

Additional Feedback: To summarize, the authors consider the problem of finding approximate Second Order Stationary Points (SOSPs). Compared with other works, the authors assume that the objective is generally non-convex and constrains are linear. Two methods are designed to solve this optimization problem. Both of these two methods are proved to have polynomial per-iteration complexity and global sublinear rates. In general, the problem is both theoretically and empirically interesting.


I Read Everything Elon Musk Posted For a Week. Send Help.

Mother Jones

Last January, not long after agreeing with an actual Nazi that western Jews have brought antisemitism upon themselves by welcoming "hordes of minorities" to their countries, Elon Musk took a quick trip to Poland. The billionaire chief of SpaceX, Tesla, and X laid a wreath at Auschwitz and then preceded on to a symposium in Krakow, where he told the conservative commentator Ben Shapiro that social media could have averted the Holocaust and bragged that he considered himself "aspirationally Jewish." The tweet, he explained in a different interview, at a different symposium "might be literally the worst and dumbest post I've ever done." But he did not take it down, nor has he moderated his views. If anything his descent into the online fever swamp has only accelerated.

Brain chips: the Sydney researchers 'miles ahead' of Elon Musk's Neuralink

The Guardian

Brain-computer interface technology is at the core of movies such as Ready Player One, The Matrix and Avatar. But outside the realm of science fiction, BCI is being used on Earth to help paralysed people communicate, to study dreams and to control robots. Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced in January – to much fanfare – that his neurotechnology company Neuralink had implanted a computer chip into a human for the first time. In February, he announced that the patient was able to control a computer mouse with their thoughts. Neuralink's aim is noble: to help people who otherwise can't communicate and interact with the environment.

This is also as BCG, Thursday, gathered media practitioners and experts across the world, including Africa, in an online meeting to brainstorm on the report and some of the activities it has taken to enhance the possibilities of AI advancing the fight against climate change.
