Nicolas Sarkozy reçoit le “prix de littérature” de la FIFA https://www.legorafi.fr/2025/12/12/nicolas-sarkozy-recoit-le-prix-de-litterature-de-la-fifa/

On a dix chiffres (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 et 9) pour écrire tous les nombres. Vous trouvez pas ça dommage, vous de gâcher les grands chiffres (comme 9, le plus grand chiffre) pour écrire des nombres aussi petits que 9 ou 19 ? Ça paraît idiot, mais… petit thread de maths !

Preprint Alert! We present new strategies to accelerate large-scale document comparison using MinHash-like sketches. A thread:

Preprint alert! We introduce new ideas to revisit the notion of sampling with window guarantees, also known as minimizers. A thread:

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

His book "Mathematica" is a real eye-opener. David Bessis describes accurately and vividly the way we perceive and manipulate mathematical objects. Colleagues who read it also felt he put into words what they had not been able to formulate about the mathematical process. Highly recommended.

Okay, #SeqBim is over, let's get crackin' and speak about our recent preprint (joint work with @imartayan.bsky.social, Lucas Robidou, @camillemrcht.bsky.social and @npmalfoy.bsky.social) 1/

Wait ! That's me !

Slowly converting innocent colleagues to the joy of using LaTeX fonts in matplotlib. Soon, they will be ready for Tikz.

Un article très intéressant, qui montre que la très grande majorité des salariés trouvent que l'IA générative n'a pas d'utilité pour leur travail (voire que ça produit de la merde), alors que les chefs ont des attentes souvent irréalistes www.blogdumoderateur.com/ia-generativ...

Brillantissime Gorafi.

C'est le minimum pour un·e candidat·e LR à la présidentielle.

Chic alors!

Stay tuned 👀 More combinatorics is coming

Absolutely phenomenal video about the links between artistic creativity and mathematics (also, combinatorics and enumeration, which are kind of my brand) This video really captures what I like doing when doing combinatorics www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BrF...

Achievement unlocked: defend your habilitation thesis on the same day than your partner. That was quite a science + celebration day, thanks to all involved 💙✨

can’t stop imagining Good Will Hunting but instead of solving graph theory problems on the blackboard he’s writing stuff like 4+3=7

Hi, I am a mathematician in a movie. I have written some non-sense equations on my (black)-board, will use fancy terms that are supposed to make me look smart, and will probably serve as a caution that whatever magical thingy happens in the movie is actually science.

It seems that Youtube understood a little bit too well the mood of my holidays when suggesting this www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WY5...

I do not recommend staying up late until 3 a.m. because your brain can't accept that you can postpone solving that one collegue's problem he sent you via email during the evening and that you read around midnight but it's solved!

Bonsai goes camping by the shore ☀️

Thomas Baudeau defended his thesis on Studying the properties of viral long reads mapping methods - congrats docteur Baudeau you'll be deeply missed in the team. I'm very glad I got the chance to work with you. Thomas is also on the lookout for a postdoc 👀

REINDEER2: practical abundance index at scale https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.16.659990v1

NEW PREPRINT OUT arxiv.org/abs/2506.04926 The Burrows-Wheeler transform of a string is, in general, more compressible than the original string, especially when it contains lots of repeated subtrings. The extended BWT allows to deal with multisets of strings. 1/7

Procès du RN: inéligibilité avec exécution immédiate pour Marine Le Pen et ses coprévenus

Last week I got to present my work on lexicographical minimizers at DSB, in Pisa. It was a wonderful moment, thanks again to everyone involved!

Je suis 100% pour accueillir des scientifiques américains en France vu ce qui arrive de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique mais est-ce qu’on peut aussi accueillir les personnes trans et plus généralement LGBT qui y sont très concrètement en danger ?

So it turns out that going from Lille to Pisa in roughly 15h by train. See you soon, DSB !

This is what laTex took from us

🎶 Last Christmas,i gave you m̶y̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶ 40 pages of delicious combinatorics 🎶 Choose any word W of size m. How many words of size k>m admit W as their smallest lexicographical subword of size m ? Find out in my latest preprint!
