And yes, this is brought to you by maxflow

For people speaking languages with a distinction of formal and informal "you", are you also looking up through piles of emails to see if you're on an informal basis with someone?
I'll be at the jump.dev workshop and SIAM OP26 in Edinburgh! Come say hi to chat on computational optimization, constrained first-order methods, or hunt down the best specialty coffee and bouldering gyms in town!
<academic rant>
I am always amazed and annoyed at the same time that there is a research field of "algorithms" in which you need to spend an enormous amount of time to understand if any new method has a slim chance of ever being run
Don't get me wrong I have nothing against doing that theoretical upper bound research. The drama is that I struggle to find real improvements to maxflow (or more generally flow?) algorithms that came from this theoretical progress. Isn't that one role that theoretical algorithmic should fill?

Yeah sure AGI but when will train platforms apply reduction cards correctly on a trip?
